wholewheatonline.com Search Do All That You Do in Love God is love. When we do everything in love, we are doing the Will of God from the heart (Eph. 6:6). We silence the ignorance of foolish men by continually doing what is right in God’s sight (1 Peter 2:15). A true disciple of Jesus Christ does not live for self any longer, but lives only to do the Will of God daily, as Jesus did (Rom. 15:2-3; 1 Peter 4:2; John 5:30). He lives to the Spirit by constantly doing the Will of God and by persevering in acts of love toward others (1 Peter 4:6; Rom. 2:6-8, 10). He keeps Christ’s deeds and overcomes the pulls of the flesh by doing so (Rev. 2:26). He does not carry out the evil desires of the flesh, because now he walks by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16). People are either practicing the evil deeds of the flesh or they are practicing good deeds of righteousness to please God and overcome their evil deeds of the flesh by doing so (Gal. 5:19-24; 1 John 3:10). We are, by nature, children of wrath who are being held captive by Satan to do his will, which is evil (Eph. 2:3; 2 Tim. 2:26). Jesus Christ wants us to obey Him so we can come out from under the wrath of God (John 3:36). He wants us to be saved from this perverse generation (Acts 2:40). Jesus Christ gave His very life for our sins to deliver us out of this present evil age and show us the Will of our Father so He could bless us (Matt. 20:26-28; Gal. 1:4; Acts 3:26). We are told not to be foolish, but to understand what the Will of the Lord is so we can always be pleasing in His sight (Eph. 5:17; Rom. 12:2). Jesus is our brother when we do the Will of the Father, and we are to follow His example (Matt. 12:50; Luke 8:21). We cannot receive answered prayer or even get into the kingdom of God unless we keep the sayings of Jesus Christ, which He received from the Father (Matt. 7:14; John 8:51; 9:31; 12:47, 49-50). If we want to call Jesus Christ our Lord, we must be daily doers of His word and not remain deluded hearers who think they are saved when they are not (Luke 6:46; James 1:22). If we do these things, we will not be utterly destroyed but saved, as these are the keys to the kingdom. This is how to repent so we need not perish (Luke 13:3, 5).

wholewheatonline.com Search What is the Best Way to Study Your Bible? If you’re going to be a competent barber, carpenter or electrician you’re going to need the proper tools. It’s the same if you want to learn and understand the biggest mystery book on earth. The Bible is the most quoted, least read and least understood book of any on the face of the earth; and the book that people have the most opinions about, but do not know what they are talking about. It is not head knowledge alone that makes a good carpenter but actual experience in performing the trade, coupled with head knowledge that makes a competent carpenter. The very same thing is true for a person who seeks to know God’s word. God in heaven is a just, charitable, loving, giving, forgiving God who is constantly serving His creation (Deut. 10:18). He helps widows and orphans and others who have no helper (Deut. 27:19). He even does good unto His enemies and associates with the lowly. You could rightly call Him the servant of the most. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to show us how to be servants of the most. We seek Him when we begin to imitate Him and His Son (Matt. 23:11; Eph. 5:1). Now, to do this, you must know how to study your Bible in order to draw out the truth of God from it. I have been studying the Bible for over 41 years now and by trial and error, have learned what I feel is the simplest, and best way, to study the Bible. I have found that the 1977 New American Standard Bible is the most accurate and reliable to the Greek, and suggest getting the kind with margin notes and references on the sides or down the middle of each page. The concordances found in the back of many Bibles are not complete enough and therefore, are totally inadequate for good Bible research study, so I suggest a New American Standard Bible Concordance also. You can purchase these many times in a used book store. It is wise to have a King James version of these also, to refer to and compare. I have found that the newer the translation, the more it is watered down from the original Greek and Hebrew, which is why I suggest the above. Of course, if you have a Bible you already use and love, by all means, use it. I am simply trying to help you get started with what I know, and have proven to be the most accurate, giving the fullest meaning of God's Word, so you can increase your biblical knowledge in the fastest way possible. In addition, it is helpful to have a good dictionary. The most reliable dictionary I have found is Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary. This dictionary actually has more in-depth meanings to words, than some of the watered down dictionaries today. It also includes Biblical references. Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionaries can be found at old used book stores, some Bible stores have the reprinted version, or it is available online now and in app form. Looking up the definition of a word can be very helpful in understanding Scripture better. Sometimes we have only a limited understanding of a word and looking up the meaning will broaden our ability to better discern Scripture. You will also need a study notebook. When you purchase a notebook for this purpose, try to get the five subject notebook that contains the most paper and is the best buy. You will also need something to mark the Scriptures in your Bible as well as your concordance. There are a variety of highIighters out there and I find the gel or dry highlighters are best and will not bleed through the pages, but you can also use ordinary crayons. You will also want to have a fine-point pen for writing notes in the margins of your Bible. Many people find using a color-coded system is helpful in coloring their Bible. If you decide to do that, you can make an index card of which colors you are using, what they reference, and keep it in your Bible to help you remember. You will be blessed by God for acquiring the things necessary to make your study time more productive and valuable. You will also be showing love and respect to God. If you cannot afford to buy these items, pray to God and ask Him to make it come about. Note: You should go no further with this information until you have all the things you need for proper Bible study right in front of you. Before you begin studying your Bible, you should pray. Ask God to help you understand His word, and show you the things He would have you learn from your time studying the Bible. Ask His Spirit to guide you and reveal the truth of His Word to your heart and mind, so that you may put it into action in your life (Luke 24:45; Matt. 4:4). You are allowing God to speak to you when you study your Bible and teach you directly (Ps. 25:4-5; Ps. 86:11; Ps. 119:66; Ps. 143:10; Deut. 4:29). One of the biggest secrets to successful studying is to begin by subject. As an example, begin by writing the subject “What is God’s Will?” at the top of the first page of your notebook. Remember chapter 51, verse 23 will look like this in the concordance: 51:23. The chapter is followed by a colon, which is followed by the verse. So keep your eye on the colon. If you are studying a more general subject like, hope, love, faith, then this would be a good time to look up the word in your dictionary and write down the meaning under your subject title. This way you will be reminded of its meaning while you are studying the Scriptures on that subject. Upon opening your large concordance, you will find that there are twelve pages of references for the word “will.” Now you must ask a series of questions that will give you a logical direction of where to look or how to start. Question number 1 is: What does the New Testament have to say on the Will of God? Maybe you would like to find out what the Old Testament has to say on the Will of God, but this could be a vast subject so it would be better to start from the New Testament. Then if you should need or want more references, you can always go into the Old Testament. Another example is this; if you can answer your question fully with what information is found in the New Testament, then there is no need to go further. There will be times, in order to understand a subject, it will be necessary to go to the Old Testament for more clarity on the subject. Now, let’s proceed by going to the last page and to the end of the last column and find where “Will” is mentioned in Revelation. After quickly glancing through Revelation, Jude and 3 John, stop at 1 John 5:14. Color this reference in your concordance yellow by using a highlighter or coloring crayon. Then color 1 John 2:17; then 1 Peter 4:19; then 1 Peter 4:2; 1 Peter 2:15; James 4:15; Heb. 13:21; 10:36; 10:10, 9, 7; 2 Tim. 2:26; 1 Thess. 5:18; 4:3; Col. 4:12; 1:9; Eph. 6:6; 5:17; 1:5, 9, 11; 1 Cor. 4:19; Rom. 12:2; Acts 22:14; 13:22; John 9:31; 7:17; 6:38; 5:30; 4:34; Luke 22:42; Mark 3:35; Matt. 21:31; 12:50; 7:21; 6:10. Now you have extracted from the concordance enough Scriptures on the Will of God to give you an excellent start on the subject. That’s good enough for a day’s Bible study, unless you are extremely curious as to what you will find. The next step is to look up each Scripture and write out the entire verse in your Bible research study notebook. As you begin to write and compile Scriptures on various subjects, you will begin to make sound biblical deductions based on the Scriptures you are reading and what understanding is to be had on that subject. Remember, one does not interpret the Bible, as the Bible interprets itself. At this point, write a small essay or article on the subject in 300 words or less. Attempt to explain the subject in terms that small children would have no trouble understanding. Then you know you will understand it too. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well, it’s more than simple. I have found that it’s fun, rewarding, informative, instructive, Spirit-filled and I love it. Not only that, but I am fulfilling God’s Will by doing so. I am studying God's word to show myself approved to Him. I have learned that God’s Will is Jesus Christ’s words as well as other sayings in the word of God (John 8:51; 12:48). I am fulfilling the Scriptures, “Study to show yourself approved” and “The mouth of the righteous studies to give a good answer” (Prov. 15:28). I am ready always ready to give a good answer to those who ask a question about God’s word. Let’s try another subject. What does the Bible have to say on the subject of good works? There are approximately two columns on “works” in the New American Standard Concordance. It begins with Exodus in the Old Testament and ends with Revelation in the New Testament. Remember, we want to find out what the New Testament says about the subject of works first—good works, bad works, deeds, etc.—so let’s start with Revelation and work back to Matthew. Begin by coloring the following Scriptures in your concordance with YELLOW: Rev. 20:12-13; 14:13; 3:15; 2:26, 23, 19, 5, 2; James 2:1-26; Heb. 10:24; 6:1; Titus 3:8, 14; 2:7,14; 1:16; 2 Tim. 3:17; 1 Tim. 6:18; 5:10; 2:10; Eph. 2:9-10; 2 Cor. 11:15; Acts 26:20; 9:36; John 14:12; 8:39; 5:29; Matt. 16:27; 5:16,. You soon will be an expert on what the Bible has to say on the subject of “works.” Here is another system you might try. Color all the potential Scriptures you wish to look up with a yellow marker in your concordance. Then go back with a different color, maybe green and make a mark on the ones you feel would be the stronger verses. Then go back once again, maybe with a red marker and mark all those Scriptures you consider a must to put in your research article on the subject of works. Now use the process of elimination. Look up and write down all the “must” Scriptures first—those you have colored red. After you are done reviewing those Scriptures ask yourself, “Do I know what the Bible says about this subject at this point, or do I need more clarification from the word of God?” If so, look up the Scriptures that you colored green in your concordance the second time through. Now you are looking up the “stronger ones” category. After this is done, if you feel you still need more information on the subject to nail it down, look up the ones you first colored yellow. There will be times when you might want to extend that list into the Old Testament. Simply take your yellow marker and concordance and begin to scan through the Old Testament Scriptures in the concordance that would give information to your subject. Hint: I will sometimes jump to the book of Proverbs or Psalms. Next, look at what the minor prophets had to say from Daniel to Malachi. Then, try Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. From there you can go where you want to go. The Old Testament is pretty massive in its context. You do not want to overcome yourself with study, but do it in such a way, that you draw out from God’s word those areas you want to study. Make it fun! Study with a purpose. Do not be like so many who let the Bible fall open to a certain page and then begin reading—that is witchcraft. Remember, you, like many others, do not know the word of God and you are going to have to study with a purpose in order to reach your goal of knowing God’s word. Remember, God’s opinion is the only one that counts. Don’t worry about, or seek, what other books say the Bible says, that are written by man (Eccl. 12:12). If they are wrong in what they say—and a great percentage of them are—you will most likely end up tragically confused and deluded by their confusion. There are rarely two books that agree on the rapture, healing, divorce and remarriage, the gifts of the Spirit, etc. Do your own research, in the Bible, and you will obtain your own confidence from it, and what God says, not someone else’s persuasion or confusion. God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). This world is in a state of religious confusion but this does not have to be true for you. If you will go only to God for the answers and ask Him to show you His Ways and His Will so you can begin to live to please Him daily more perfectly, He will not let you down, but man will (Is. 2:22). The world is spiritually blinded because it follows man instead of God. People who go to church faithfully for years and years continue to remain ignorant about what the Bible says because they feel they are listening to someone they can trust, their preacher. They look up to him as being righteous and holy. Many do this to such an extent that they no longer bring their Bibles to church. They just put their trust in a man to tell them what the Bible says (Isa. 9:16-17). As you do your own personal Bible study, by studying in depth what the Bible has to say on these and other subjects, you may be shocked to find that the Bible says quite the opposite of what is being taught by many today. God the Father and Jesus Christ have only wanted simple, daily obedience to God’s beautiful Ways of peace and righteousness. He wants new creatures who are completely changed people, who have Christ formed in them as a result of living for Him and the Father daily (Gal. 4:19; 6:9-15). Overcome evil by doing good for God daily by doing His Will on earth daily as it is being done in heaven if you want to live forever (Psalm 37:27; 1 Peter 3:10-11; Rom. 12:21).

wholewheatonline.com Search The Answer to Your Problems What should you do first if you have just learned how to please God daily by practicing righteousness, but your present state is one of despair because you have so many personal problems (1 John 3:7)? If you are like most people, you will tell yourself that you should first put your life in order, and then consider living for God. You’ll convince yourself you can’t help others until you first get yourself in condition to do so. Well, that’s just what Satan would want you to say. Your common sense, or human nature, is what has brought you all the curses in your life. It’s time you stopped trying to direct your own steps and instead, do what God says to do (Jer. 10:23). If you trust God by beginning to live for Him right away without delay, you have received the word on good ground and have an honest and a good heart (Matt. 13:23; Luke 8:15). You should start serving God to the best of your ability right away by continually doing what is right everyday. It’s a simple matter to just pray to God and ask Him to work out your impossible situation (1 Peter 5:7). Then, step back and watch the glory of the Lord. It might not happen in 30 seconds, 30 minutes, or 30 days, but rest assured, you have God’s undivided attention. He is giving your request full consideration. Why? Because you are doing things that are pleasing in His sight (1 John 3:22). You are now showing love to God by keeping His Ways, and God is going to show His love for you by responding to your needs. Don’t tell God how you want your problems solved because you can’t possibly know more than He. When He can trust you to live for Him, you can trust Him to live for you (Heb. 10:36). That’s faith that is perfected by works (James 2:22). Remember, when you serve others in need, you are serving God (Matt. 25:40). That is how you worship God in deed and truth (1 John 3:18). Serving others is how you worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24). It’s also how you worship in the Spirit of God (Phil. 3:3). So, get started in your new life by helping someone else who has a problem or a need. Get concerned about serving others continually, as Dorcas did (Acts 9:36). Get your mind off your own problems, and God will gradually work all out for good for His glory (Rom. 8:28). Many do not realize this is how you put to death the evil deeds of the body—by simply doing good for God each day (Rom. 8:12-14). This is truly the answer to your problems.

wholewheatonline.com Search Baptism is… Baptism is for your benefit, for your full assurance, for your gifts of the Spirit, for your forgiveness of sins. Baptism is an outward sign of inner repentance. You are showing by your actions that you mean business, that you are sincere. You are showing God in heaven that you are willing to lay down your old life of sin and pick up your new life of righteousness. You are saying you intend to live a new life of doing right things. You are going to live by God’s Ways and forsake your ways of the flesh which are not good. The Apostle Paul told how to do this. He said, “Repent, turn to God, and perform works for repentance” (Acts 26:20). You see, doing good works in Jesus Christ’s name for the glory of the Father is how you overcome (Col. 3:17; Rev. 2:26). Jesus says, the Father in heaven is glorified by good works and this is how a true disciple lets his light shine before men (Matt. 5:16). When John the Baptist was asked by the people what they should do in regard to repentance, he did not hesitate to give them a sound example of good works (Luke 3:10-11). “Bring forth fruit meant for repentance,” he said. That fruit is good works done for God’s glory (Col. 1:10). Good works are not necessary for salvation because salvation is a free gift that could never be earned (Eph. 2:8-9). But the rest of the message, left out by so many, is that good works are necessary for repentance, for overcoming, for glorifying God daily, for edification, purification, for instruction in godliness, and we should walk in them (Eph. 2:10). Jesus is purifying a peculiar people for Himself who are zealous and on fire or hot for good works (Titus 2:14). Jesus is making disciples who will do greater works than He did (John 14:12). God can’t stand those who are lukewarm for good deeds (Rev. 3:15-16; 2:2-5; Gal. 6:9; 2 Thess. 3:13). Since Jesus is going to repay us according to our deeds, don’t you think we had better start doing some good deeds (Rev. 2:23; 20:12; 22:12; Matt. 16:27)? After all, if the righteous, who practice righteousness daily for God’s glory, are saved with difficulty, what is going to happen to those who deny Christ because they live disobedient and detestable lives and remain worthless for good works (1 Peter 4:18; 1 John 2:29; 3:7, 10, 18; Titus 1:16; 2:7; 3:8; Eph. 2:10)? God wants more examples like Dorcas, who was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did (Acts 9:36; 10:2, 38). He wants us to become obedient to the faith once delivered (Acts 6:7). He wants us to obey what he commands and receive His Spirit (Acts 5:32). Have you heard this before? If you have, are you zealous for good works? Isn’t it time to repent and believe the gospel and not man and be baptized (Acts 3:26, James 2:22; Matt 28:19-20)?

When we plan a vacation, we might select a new location to visit. We try it to see if we’ll like it. How about trying to live for the Lord each day? You can be sure you’ll be happy and satisfied. Serving others continually to please God is the best! Why? Because we reap what we sow. When we are continually thinking, “What can I do for God next?” then we are busy doing God’s Will. We also know that what we think is what we’ll do. So, we might as well do good for God—being He repays good for good and evil for evil (Psalm 125:4; Prov. 24:29; Eph. 6:8). God is the One who makes these everlasting laws and He will make sure they are fulfilled (Jer. 17:10; 32:19). When we continually do good for God, and are making all our ways pleasing to Him, our life becomes blessed. Many people walk around uptight, thinking and speaking negative. They are full of anxiety, being inward and selfish. Nothing pleases these people, because they do not know God’s beautiful Way of righteousness that brings about peace (Rom 2:10; Rom 14:17). God has called us to His Ways of love to make a difference in this world. He has called us to be an example of godliness; yes, a light in a dark, evil world (Phil. 2:15). What a privilege. What an honor to be called to serve our Lord. Matthew 5:16 tells us to be a bright light by doing good to others continually. In closing, I ask, Is God calling you today? Are you interested in changing the way you think, speak and live? Would you like to be filled with contentment, peace, love and happiness?

Being Wholehearted in Your Walk Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for you are only passing this way once, and you might as well give it your best shot. This is the idea, stated in modern terminology, that Solomon was trying to get across in Ecclesiastes 9:10. It is also a godly trait. Our Creator wants us to be wholehearted, or have singleness of heart in everything we do. He wants us to be single-minded, with one purpose. So, whatever your hand finds to do, seriously, do it with your whole heart, knowing that it pleases your Creator when you put your brother’s welfare first, before your own. Do all that you do in the name of Christ, as all disciples of Jesus Christ are commanded to do.

wholewheatonline.com Search You Must Be Born Again The most misunderstood subject in the world is that of being born again and as a result, many may lose their salvation. This subject is misunderstood because of religious deception. The most quoted and distorted verses on this subject are found in the third chapter of John. A Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a leader of the Jews, came to Jesus by night. He came at night because he didn’t want to be seen by his fellow Pharisees and risk being ostracized or excommunicated. Nicodemus made a shocking proclamation to Jesus, saying, “We (meaning the Pharisees back at headquarters) know You have come from God as a teacher” (John 3:2). Jesus knew the Pharisees knew who He was, because they told Jesus they understood what He was saying. Their ears were opened by Jesus. God’s judgment was upon them in regard to their sin and eternal life. Jesus said, “Because you said, ‘We understand,’ your sin remains” (John 9:40-41). As a result, many of those Pharisees became obedient to the faith of Jesus (Acts 6:7). The Pharisees, or ministers, who would not repent were the ones who became Jesus’ mortal enemies. What is not brought out in Scripture is that there were tens of thousands of Jews believing Jesus and converting to the discipleship of Jesus Christ (Acts 21:20, refer to margin notes in NAS). Those who would not repent among the Jewish priests became Jesus’ worst enemies. They were the snakes Baptist John yelled at (Luke 3:7). Jesus called the religious leaders snakes too (Matthew 12:34). Making this background clear is necessary for us to realize who John the Baptist and Jesus Christ were addressing. After Nicodemus’ comment, Jesus began to explain to Nicodemus that a person must be born again. However, because of who he was, Jesus spoke in heavily guarded spiritual language He knew Nicodemus would not understand. He spoke in a parable, which is a dark saying, a riddle or a mystery (Matt. 13:11-16, 17, 35). Jesus answered Nicodemus and said, “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5). Notice, Jesus says the kingdom of God is entered. Now turn to Matthew 23:13 and notice how Jesus scolded the Pharisees because they did not enter in themselves. The Pharisees were not entering the kingdom of God. How can we identify those who have entered the kingdom of God? They become new creations, new creatures, new human beings who live spiritual lives on this earth as Jesus Christ did (Gal. 6:15). What are some other signs? These people have crucified the flesh with its evil passions and desires (Gal. 5:24). They walk by the Spirit now and because of this, they do not carry out the evil desires of the flesh (Gal. 5:16). Over a period of time, they have Christ formed in them (Gal. 4:19). How does this happen? They continually discipline themselves for the purpose of godliness (1 Tim. 4:7). Jesus Christ’s doctrine is a holy Way of life. It is a simple, continual Way of life that conforms your old way of life to God’s new Way of life (2 Cor. 5:17). According to God’s word, anyone who does not speak according to this Way is conceited, stupid and understands nothing (1 Tim. 6:3-4). Jesus said in the parable in John 3:5, that we must be born of water. What water is He talking about? We know about the baptism by water that was practiced 2,000 years ago (Matt. 3:15-17). But look! Jesus says, “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life” (John 4:14). What was this water? It was Jesus’ works, both from Him directly and as described in passages throughout His word (Eph. 5:26; John 8:51). What did the last part of the verse, regarding the Spirit, mean? We must be born of the Spirit (John 3:5-8). Second Corinthians 3:17 simply states that “the Lord is the Spirit.” First Corinthians 12:13 says, “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body.” The full explanation of the parable beginning in John 3:5 is: 1. We should be baptized and receive the free gift of God’s Holy Spirit. 2. We should read, study and obey God’s word daily by putting it into practice in our daily lives and be washed by the water of God’s word by studying it daily. Then we will be abiding in the Lord’s word and keeping His commandments, and the Father and the Son will make their abode in our bodies (John 14:23-24). In conclusion, when Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, He was talking to an enemy, not a disciple. Therefore, Jesus spoke to him in heavy spiritual language, a parable (2 Tim. 2:7; Matt. 13:33-34). Jesus knew those who had His Spirit and were living His way of life daily would clearly understand the meaning of this parable. All the others would twist the Scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16). Jesus said His kingdom is righteousness and it is entered by righteous deeds that we do in Jesus Christ’s name (Rom. 14:17; Matt. 5:20, 16; 6:1). These righteous acts are called sacrifices (Heb. 13:16; Psalm 4:5; Rom. 12:1). Jesus Christ Himself says we must force ourselves into this kingdom (Luke 16:16). “The kingdom is within us,” He says in the true translation of Luke 17:21. Unless we practice righteousness daily for Jesus Christ, for repentance, we will all likewise perish (Luke 13:3, 5). Doesn’t it make sense that if we are going to be judged by our deeds, we had better make sure they are all righteous in God’s eyes (John 3:10; Rev. 20:12)? We are all going to be judged on judgment day by Jesus’ words, which He told us to keep (John 12:47-50). We need to be sure we understand these Scriptures and begin to change our ways to His Ways. Jesus says only those who have done the good deeds will come forth to a resurrection of life (John 5:29). Stop listening to those who confuse you and tell you differently.

Dealing With Sin in Your Life Our Father wants us to overcome our evil natures by doing good every moment of every day. Who can stop you from only thinking good thoughts, from only saying good things and from only doing good things? Your old nature will try to stop you. Satan will try to tempt you. But who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? No one! So dwell not on evil and sin not. Dwell only on good and do only good for God! Then you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? 1 Peter 3:13 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

wholewheatonline.com Search Will You Be Faithful? Jesus said, “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8). We need desperately to fully understand what Jesus Christ meant in this statement. There are different kinds of faith. There is the faith of Abraham. There is the faith of Jesus Christ. There is the faith that God will heal you, and the faith that He will forgive you. Some people have faith in the devil—the ruler of this world. Others have faith in the God of Abraham. Some have faith in their faith, which is their religion (Rom. 16:26). Others have no faith in man’s religions, but only trust their faith to Jesus Christ, who alone is faithful. Let us clear up, once and for all, the truth behind the word “faith” and its many meanings. God came to this earth some 2,000 years ago in human form to show us His Ways so that we could do His Will on this earth daily as it is being done in heaven daily (Matt. 6:10). He said those Ways are very easy and pleasant (Matt. 11:30). God’s Ways represent God’s faith. Jesus Christ kept those Ways perfectly while He was here on this earth. He was faithful (Heb. 2:17). He kept the faith. He performed God’s Will. Jesus not only showed us those Ways, He told us about those Ways also. He did this so we could have an example to follow. He also gave us a written record of those Ways in His word, the Bible. Faith involves trust. When you know what the Lord expects of you, and you do those things daily, you are keeping the faith. You are pleasing the Father daily, just like Jesus did. As a result, you can trust the Lord to fulfill the Scriptures for you pertaining to the righteous. You can trust Jesus Christ to carry out His word in your life and take care of all your needs, wants and desires (Matt. 6:33). No good thing will God withhold from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). God expects us to offer the sacrifice of righteousness and trust in the Lord (Psalm 4:5). That sacrifice is continually doing good and sharing because it pleases God (Heb. 13:16). Therefore, if we are continually doing good toward others, we can have faith that our prayers will be heard. That’s how simple it is to keep Jesus Christ’s commandments (1 John 3:22). Faith means obedience to God’s Ways. Unfaithfulness means disobedience to God’s Ways. Belief means obedience to Jesus Christ’s words, and unbelief is failing to practice God’s Ways toward others. Faith means trusting in God and not leaning on your own understanding. Faith means this, and so much more. Having faith means consistency in giving. The new covenant is full of Scriptures regarding giving as well as supporting a righteous cause. “Give, and it will be given to you,” God promises in Luke 6:38. In this Scripture, God is referring to giving to others who are in need. This could include giving clothes or food to someone in need. It could include giving shelter to someone who needs a place to stay (Matt. 25:33-40). It can also include giving financial support to a truly worthy cause. It is plain to see that Jesus was supported in His cause by many who believed in what He was doing. There were many who supported Him, not just a few (Luke 8:3). I know that if I were called of the Lord 2,000 years ago, I would have supported His cause. The gospel of Jesus Christ was preached around the whole world in Jesus’ day. He sent out His apostles to Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and eventually to the remotest parts of the earth (Acts 1:8). It says the gospel will again be preached to the whole world, in the last days before the return of Jesus Christ (Matt. 24:14). We are preaching and publishing that same gospel and truth now, throughout the world, exposing the religious lies that have been taught in the name of Jesus Christ. We are all being called for one great purpose—to be faithful. Will you be faithful to God and His Ways? Will you be consistent in your faithfulness? Be faithful and support this great work of the Lord that is going out to the world and changing lives. By doing so, you too are a fellow worker for the Lord as it says in 3 John 7-8. To be part of the Lord’s work, in whatever way He calls us to be, is the greatest blessing and honor we could ever hope to be a part of in our lifetime.

wholewheatonline.com Search The New Covenant Spirit "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength" (Mark 12:30). This means that you shall serve only Him, love only Him, obey only Him, please only Him, worship only Him, glorify only Him, and do only His Will. This means you shall only do those things that are pleasing in His sight (John 8:29; 2 Cor. 5:9). You shall do well, practice righteousness and patience toward others, and continually do acts of kindness and charity (Matt. 5:16; 1 John 4:7). This means you must put up with the short-comings of others, forgive everyone their trespasses against you daily, and practice all the fruits of the Spirit (Matt. 6:14; Gal. 5:22-23). You are to always be in a joyful mood and make every day a day you live for God. Then, when it is God’s day, it will be a good day. Are all of your ways pleasing to God today? Are you going to please Him in all things or some things? Pleasing God in all things is being single-minded, not double-minded (James 1:6, 8). Are you going to do only God’s Will today, or a little bit of Satan’s too, by living to please the flesh? Are you bringing all your ways into subjection to Christ (2 Cor. 10:5)? Are you doing what Christ would have you do, or are you holding out a little? Is your heart pure before God, or partially pure? Are you off to a physical start each day, or are you off to a spiritual start by studying God’s word? Do you think of pleasing God all day, or do you even think about Him at all? What do you think about the most each day? Do you give God all of your troubles, or do you try to solve them yourself without His help (1 Peter 5:7)? Are you still trying to do God’s job of converting your spouse (1 Peter 3:1)? Who do you think you are - God? Remember, God is the only one who can convert or change any person. He is the one who causes the growth (1 Cor. 3:7). We should teach by our example. Then we know that we have the log out of our own eye and are ready to give a good answer when asked (Matt. 7:3-5; 2 Tim. 2:15). Many religious people are trying to convert the world to their beliefs when they are still unconverted before God themselves. We are to love the Lord wholeheartedly and we are to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:31). When we wholeheartedly serve others for the Lord, we are wholeheartedly serving the Lord (Matt 25:40). We cannot do one without doing the other, and when we do both, we are keeping the commandments in the New Covenant spirit.

wholewheatonline.com Search How to Be a Beautiful Person Have you ever known someone you considered to be a beautiful person? Do they fit the description God gives us of a beautiful person? A beautiful person is kind and helpful and is always serving others. There seems to be not one selfish bone in this person’s body. They are patient and speak kindly of those who do wrong to them. They are so peaceful inside. You can just feel it by their presence. They really respect their Father in heaven. They wouldn’t think, or wouldn’t allow themselves to think of things that are displeasing to God. In fact, they just live to please the Father every minute of every day. This is where they say peace is found. If they ever hear of a situation where they can be of help, they are normally there, unless they are so busy helping someone else that they just can’t get away. They are a balanced person. They love their spouse as much or more than their own flesh, and they both love and cherish their gifts from God, their children. This person does not think their own thoughts, but lives by every word of God. They are truly a person with a heart for God, who walks as God walks. They even talk as God does. They are the walking, talking, living example of a true born-again person. Their words, deeds and actions tell whose friend they are. They are a servant of God, a true man or woman of God. They are very humble, yet very majestic person. They are a good example for all to follow. Are you a beautiful person that others can follow?

wholewheatonline.com Search Works of Faith A faith that works is a faith with works. Wouldn’t we be in a pickle if Jesus Christ’s faith had no works? There would be no forgiveness of sins, and He would not be our perfect example. How could Jesus Christ be obedient to the Father if He had no works? Could Jesus Christ glorify the Father with bad works or without works? "Don’t be silly," you might say. Well, don’t you think it would be silly to tell disciples of Jesus Christ that they do not need good works? How can they repent if they do not have good works (Acts 26:20)? Do you show God that you are repentant by performing bad works daily instead of good works? Of course not! You cannot be hired to do a job for an employer unless you promise to do good works for him. Then, if you continue to do good works, he will bless you by giving you a promotion or salary increase. After you have been trained by your employer and have proven yourself, you can be promoted because of your good works. Why, you might even receive a bonus, a turkey or some other special gift. But if you perform bad works for your employer, you will get fired. Our heavenly Father is our employer when we decide to live for Him. If we perform good works for His glory, God will bless us (Matt. 5:16; John 10:10). How about if you perform bad works for God? Won’t you get fired? God gives eternal life as a free bonus for continual good works, but those who are unrepentant - continue to do what is bad, or worse yet, do nothing at all - will not receive the bonus. Eternal life is not given to those who continue to do bad works daily (1 John 3:10; John 5:29). Rather, it is given to those who live repentant lives by doing good works daily to please the Father (Matt. 5:16). The Lord accepts us as we are, but then we must be fully trained by Him and strive to please Him in all our ways and works of faith (2 Peter 1:5-11; Luke 6:40, 46).

wholewheatonline.com Search Belief and Faith Do you believe? Do you have faith? Do you know what these words mean in Greek and Hebrew? Do you know they have different meanings in the English language than they do in the Greek and Hebrew? Using Strong's Concordance, an indispensable resource for anyone who desires to know and understand the Bible, look up the word "believeth" as found in John 3:16 (King James Version). Notice on the far right there is a number, 4100. Because John 3:16 is from the New Testament, turn to the Greek dictionary which is found in the rear of the concordance. Turn to the number 4100 to find what the word "believe" means in Greek. Here we find that "believe" comes from the Greek word pisteuo. It refers us to 4102, pistis, for a more complete explanation. We find that the word "believe" means to be faithful, have conviction, have faith, and to have fidelity. Then it refers us to 3982, peitho, for a full understanding and explanation. When we turn there, we find that the word "believe" means obey, yield and trust (King James Version Concordance). In John 11:26, the words "lives and believes" are used in the same sentence by our Lord Jesus Christ. So now we know that the word believe means to obey, yield, trust, have faith in, have fidelity, and to live the godly life. Now we look up the word "faith" in Strong’s Concordance, and find with amazement that the far right column tells us to go right back to 4102, pistis, in the Greek dictionary. That’s the same place we just came from after looking up the word believe. What is so shocking about this? Turn to John 6:28-29. The people said to Jesus Christ, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?" They were simply asking Jesus what works they could do that would be pleasing to God. Jesus replied by saying, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." This is a parable, as Jesus always spoke to the people and answered them by way of parables (Mark 4:33-34; Matt. 13:35). Jesus was saying to them, "This is the work of God, that you obey Me, keep My words, do them, and act on them" (John 8:51; 12:47-48; Matt. 7:24). Jesus made it very clear in Luke 8:21 that anyone who considers himself to be a follower of His, will hear the word of God and do it. It is only the person who becomes an effectual doer of the word who will be blessed in whatever he does (James 1:25). Those who do not do, or do not know what to do, are not saved, but remain deluded. You must prove yourself a doer of the word (James 1:22). You must bear much fruit, which is good works, and thus prove to be Jesus Christ's disciple (Col. 1:10; John 15:8). That is what real belief and real faith are all about.

wholewheatonline.com Search How to Enter God's Rest "For the one who has entered Jesus Christ’s rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall through following the same example of disobedience" (Heb. 4:10-11). Let’s examine the facts stated in these verses. There is a godly rest that we are to enter. We enter it by resting from all our works. We must be diligent to enter that rest. We enter God’s rest when we cease from all our works of lawlessness (1 John 3:4). Works of lawlessness are the things we do when we live to the flesh. We must put these deeds of the flesh to death (Rom. 8:13; Gal. 5:16). How do we do this? By living to the Spirit! Jesus Christ said living to the Spirit, instead of to the flesh, is easy (Matt. 11:30). All we need to do is obey Him by imitating His behavior and the Father’s (1 Cor. 11:1; Eph. 5:1). What did Jesus do? How did He do it? He kept the works of the Father exclusively. The good works He did were done in the Father’s name and in so doing, He glorified the Father (Matt. 5:16; John 10:25). He overcame the world by overcoming His nature (John 16:33). Jesus Christ was made perfect (Heb. 5:9). We also must strive to do the works of God (Luke 13:24). We must persevere and be zealous in doing the works of the Father (Rom. 2:6-7; Luke 21:19). We are commanded not to get weary in doing good works (Gal. 6:9; 2 Thess. 3:13; 1 Cor. 15:58). In fact, Jesus said many of us would do greater works than He did because He had to go to the Father (John 14:12). You might ask, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of the Father?" That is a legitimate question and it was asked of Christ in John 6:28. The works of the Father make up the Will of God (1 John 2:17; Matt. 7:21). God’s Will consists of any acts of righteousness done for God’s glory (Col. 3:17). You could keep your appearance up for God. Love your mate for God. Teach your children about God’s Ways, showing them that they receive a reward from God for each thing they do in His name (Matt. 6:1; Eph. 6:1-2, 7-8). Respect God’s name. Do not use it in profanity a day longer, because those who do are His enemies (Psalm 139:20). The more you do for God, the more He will do for you (Mark 4:24; Mal. 3:10; Luke 6:38; 2 Cor. 9:6). When all you sow is righteousness, then everything you reap will be a blessing! You will have entered God’s kingdom, which is within your new heart (Luke 17:21). You will have forced your way into the kingdom of heaven by disciplining yourself to do God’s Will (Luke 16:16). You will have overcome your old nature by being zealous for good works – Christ’s works (1 Peter 3:13; Rev. 2:26). You will have rested from all your works because you are only doing God’s works now. You will have entered God’s rest. PREV NEXT 3 SIMPLE STEPS TO GET STARTED MORE BIBLE STUDIES PODCASTS HOME All About the Bible PDF © 2025 Whole Wheat International

wholewheatonline.com Search Baby Baptism Jesus told His apostles to teach people to observe all that He commanded them. “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you…” (Matt. 28:19-20). How can you teach a baby? How can you make a disciple out of a newborn baby? Can you instruct a newborn how to walk in Christ (Col. 2:6)? Can you instruct a newborn in the doctrine that conforms one to godliness? Jesus was about 30 years old when He was baptized. Children are blameless in God’s eyes (Matt. 18:10). It is not the will of the Father that one little child should perish (Matt. 18:14). When Jesus was a child, He didn’t know enough to refuse evil and choose good (Is. 7:14-16). Did that make Jesus evil and sinful in His youth? Of course not. How can you be a sinner when you don’t even know any better? It is only when you’ve heard and fully understood the true message of overcoming and how easy it is to do that you are no longer in ignorance. From that point on you have no excuse for your sin (John 15:22). You have counted the cost, which a baby or a child cannot do. There is no example of baby, or child, baptism in the Bible. There is no command to baptize babies. This tradition started with men and it means less than nothing to God (Mark 7:8; Col. 2:8). Please, don’t remain foolish, but understand what the perfect will of God really is (Eph. 5:17). Study your Bible—don’t just read it. People will give you pamphlets, articles and books written by men telling you what they want you to believe the Bible says. Don’t believe them. Let only God’s word teach you as you live to please Him daily (2 Tim. 2:7; 1 John 2:27).

Después vuelve a leerlo, pero ahora buscando la escritura; subrayando o marcando cada verso, para que te sea fácil encontrarlo en otra ocasión. 1 Declaracion de Fe de Whole Wheat Creemos que Jesucristo es el Hijo de Dios, que vino en la carne y murió por los pecados de la humanidad. Creemos que aceptar a Jesucristo como nuestro Salvador significa vivir toda una nueva forma de vida y no vida a la carne con sus pasiones y deseos mal, sino que, viviendo en el Espíritu, que está cometiendo todas nuestras maneras de ser una bendición para el Señor. Creemos, como dice el apóstol san Pablo, que uno debe traer buenas obras significaba para el arrepentimiento y luego llegar al bautismo (Hechos 26:20; Lucas 3:8, 10-11). Creemos que Dios en el cielo, envió a Su Hijo Jesucristo, que nos muestran cómo amarse los unos a los otros. Creemos que si usted va a vivir caritativamente, vas a vivir como Jesucristo nos dio ejemplo para vivir en pensamiento, palabra y obra. Creemos vivir caritativamente es poner primero a los demás y no llevar la cuenta de las injusticias cometidas contra nosotros por otros. Debemos amar a nuestros enemigos y hacer el bien para ellos. Esto significa que no debemos hacer nada a sabiendas de que serían de ofenderlos. Creemos que debería ser un siervo de los otros para la gloria de Dios (Mat. 23:11). Estamos en el proceso de perfeccionamiento de todos nuestros caminos, haciéndolos caridad hacia el prójimo, así como agradables a Dios (Lucas 11:41). Creemos que cuando hacemos todo lo que es agradable a los ojos de Dios, estamos guardando Sus mandamientos y haciendo su voluntad (Juan 9:31). Entonces sabemos que vamos a recibir lo que le pedimos (1 Juan 3:22). Creemos que vivir de esta manera por servir a los demás, somos obedientes y tener nuestros pecados cubiertos por su sangre (1 Pedro 1:2; 1 Juan 1:6-7). Creemos que vivir nuestras vidas para ser agradable al Señor diariamente es fácil, agradable y muy gratificante y cambio de vida (Mat. 11:30). Creemos que hemos sido creados en Cristo Jesús para buenas obras, las cuales Dios preparó de antemano para que anduviésemos en ellas" (Ef. 2:10). Creemos que no puede ganar la salvación por buenas obras porque somos salvos por gracia y es un don; sin embargo, diariamente el arrepentimiento hacia Dios requiere una vida de buen hacer y él es glorificado cuando hacemos el bien para él (Mat. 5:16). Esta vida de bien haciendo es llamado el Camino de la justicia en la palabra de Dios, y define cómo debemos vivir diariamente ante el Señor (Mat. 21:32; 2 Pedro 2:21). Creemos que poner las palabras de Jesús en la práctica diaria en nuestras vidas son las indicaciones para el arrepentimiento y la vida eterna (Juan 12:49-50; 8:51). Creemos que como Dios revela su palabra a nosotros, nosotros debemos obedecer. Creemos que nadie debe añadir o restar de las palabras de Jesús (Marcos 7:7). Creemos que la religión pura incorrupto está sirviendo a los necesitados diariamente a Dios y mantenernos sin mancha del mundo (Santiago 1:27). 2 Todo lo Referente a las Obras ¡Satanás es enemigo de la justicia, y eso incluye buenas obras! Él confunde las obras de la ley con las obras de la fe. Así, es como hay muchas fes sin obras. ¿Acaso la Fe de Jesús tuvo obras? Se dice que Jesús hizo muchas obras, que si se hubieran escrito en detalle, es posible que ni aun en el mundo cabrían los libros que se hubieran escrito. (Juan 21:25; 20:30). ¿Acaso Jesús dijo que Sus seguidores tendrían obras? Él dijo, “En verdad, en verdad, les digo, que aquel que cree en Mí, las obras que Yo hago, el hará también; y aún mayores hará, porque Yo voy al Padre” (Juan 14:12). Jesús hizo buenas obras en el nombre del Padre y para gloria del Padre (Juan 8:54; 10:25; 10:32; Mateo 5:16). Él hizo las mismas obras que miro que el Padre hace (Juan 4:34; 5:19). Él les dijo a todos sus seguidores, que hicieran las mismas obras aquí en la tierra así como son hechas en el cielo, porque el hacer las obras de Dios es el hacer la Voluntad de Dios (Mateo 6:10; 7:21). Estas obras son incomprendidas, por un mundo que está siendo engañado y mal guiado (Lucas 6:46). Jesús amonestaba continuamente a Sus seguidores y les decía que fueran hacedores de buenas obras. Jesús no vivió para ser complacido pero, para complacer a los demás (Romanos 15:3; Mateo 20:28). Jesús agradaba a su prójimo para bien de Él y para su edificación (Romanos 15:2). El no buscaba su propio bien, sino que se negaba a si mismo diariamente, al solo hacer buenas obras para el prójimo (Lucas 9:23; Mateo 25:33-46; 1 Corintios 10:24). El tomo forma de esclavo, y así nos enseñó cómo hacer buenas obras (Filipenses 2:7; Mateo 23:11). Él no vivió para sí mismo buscando sus propios intereses, sino buscando los intereses de otros (Filipenses 2:4). El tener fe con obras significa el servir a otros que están en necesidad, para gloria de Dios (Mateo 5:16; Santiago 2:14-18). La Fe de Jesús era una fe de buenas obras y no solo de palabras (1 Juan 3:18-19). Es una Fe que se perfecciona por medio de obras (Santiago 2:22). Una Fe con obras no es una fe en vano (Santiago 2:20). Una Fe con obras no está muerta, pero viva porque tiene obras justas (Santiago 2:26; Romanos 8:10). La fe que es servicial hacia los demás es la fe a la cual Dios recompensa, porque es la fe que le complace (Lucas 14:13-14). El hacer buenas obras es como glorificas a Dios diariamente y así haces la Voluntad de Dios en esta tierra (Mateo 5:16). El así te puede bendecir diariamente, cuando haces buenas obras para Dios (Efesios 6:8). Así formas un carácter piadoso (espiritual) y te disciplinas para el propósito de la piedad (1 Timoteo 4:7). Las buenas obras son el buen fruto de tu árbol espiritual (Juan 15:16; Colosenses 1:10; Mateo 3:10). ¡Ahora ya tienes la verdad de palabra de Dios referente a las buenas obras! 3 Aquellos que Hacen lo Bueno La palabra de Dios dice la persona que hace lo bueno es de Dios (3 Juan 11). ¿Por qué es esto? Porque Dios es bueno (Marcos 10:18). ¿Por qué? Porque Dios hace lo bueno. La palabra “bueno” es derivada de la palabra “Dios”. ¿En qué clase de condiciones estaríamos si tuviéramos un Dios que solo tuviera buenos pensamientos pero jamás hiciera nada al respecto? ¡No estaríamos aquí! ¡Nada bueno se haría! Tendríamos a un Dios que sería bueno para nada, pero esto, es imposible. Si quieres ser como Dios y ser considerado bueno, tus buenos pensamientos tienen que manifestarse con buenas acciones. ¿Si hacer lo malo es malo, el hacer lo bueno es bueno? ¿Si el hacer lo malo es considerado impiedad; falta de compasión, de fe religiosa, de misericordia, de dignidad y desobediencia, entonces el hacer lo bueno cambiaría todos estas palabras negativas? ¿No es esto el resultado de acciones positivas? ¿Empiezas a ver lo que significa el estar arrepentido? ¿Puedes ver como cualquiera que no se arrepienta al cambiar sus acciones y hacerlas buenas, debería de y tendría que perecer de esta tierra (Mateo 3:10). ¿Puedes ver que el hacer lo bueno es todo lo que Dios espera de nuestro arrepentimiento? ¿No es esto lo mismo que un padre esperaría, de sus queridos hijos? ¿Puedes comprender que cuando los hijos hacen lo correcto ante su padre, sus acciones son las que demuestran amor y así, le son aceptables a Él (Hechos 10:34-35)? ¿Puedes ver por qué el verdadero mensaje de Dios es un mensaje para niños? ¿Puedes ver, que a menos que te vuelvas como un niño ante tu Padre celestial no podrás convertirte y reconciliarte con Él y así entrar al reino de los cielos (Mateo 18:3-5)? Es por esto que solo los que hacen lo bueno son de Dios (3 Juan:11) 4 ¿Cómo era Jesús? Jesús era una persona agradable porque Él era bondadoso extrovertido y gentil de espíritu. Era muy compasivo y les demostraba caridad a los pobres a los humildes y a quien sea que no tuviera ayuda. Tenía muchos amigos, unos más cercanos que otros. Pedro y Lázaro eran muy especiales para El. También en ese tiempo muchas mujeres eran sus amigas y de igual manera Él estaba muy cercano a algunas de ellas. Jesús hizo el trabajo de su padre al proclamar que el reino del cielo estaba cerca; para aquellos que cambiaran su vida al arrepentirse (Mat. 4:17). Jesús vino a proclamar la buena vida con Dios. El vino a proclamar que cuando vives una vida así, aseguraras bendiciones, una paz abundante, alegría y solo cosas buenas (Juan 10:10; 15:11). También que todas tus oraciones sean contestadas (Juan 14:14; 15:7; Mat. 7:7). Jesús sabía que no iba a poder cambiar a la gente que anduviera en malos caminos. Él no podría forzar a nadie a arrepentirse pero, Él podría proclamar el mensaje como un testigo. Este mensaje son las buenas noticias de como deshacernos de nuestra mala naturaleza al practicar los caminos de Dios para que Dios nos pueda bendecir (Hechos 3:26). Todo lo que tenemos que hacer es imitar a Jesús Cristo (1 Cor. 11:1). Él era nuestro ejemplo viviente, enseñándonos, por medio de Sus buenas obras que tan fácil es vencer a nuestra naturaleza y así vivir una vida piadosa (Juan 10:32; Mat. 11:30). No todos los que entendieron Su mensaje lo tomaron de corazón, pero algunos sí (Mateo 13:19-23). Jesús era como un vendedor ambulante, vendiendo una buena manera de vivir; pero muy pocos estaban interesados o creyeron su mensaje (Mat. 11:30; 22:14). Varios de los pocos que respondieron a su mensaje y se esforzaron para entrar por la puerta estrecha, al vivir para Dios día con día no pudieron, pero otros sí y así perseverando hasta el fin fueron salvados. (Lucas 13:24; Mat. 10:22; 24:13). A todos ellos se les fue recordado que no se preocuparan en hacer el bien (Gal. 6:9; 2Tes. 3:13). Se les dijo que si perseveraban, recibirían el precio de gobernar las naciones de este mundo con Cristo (Apocalipsis 2:26-27). También la naturaleza de Jesús Cristo seria formada en ellos (Gal. 4:19). Aquellos que continúan sacrificándose haciendo el bien para gloria de Dios diariamente; eventualmente entraran al reposo de Dios (Heb.4:10; 13:16,21; Rom.12:1-2). ¿No es este un mensaje sencillo? Sin embargo ahora, no se vive entre los muchos que profesan Su nombre, simplemente no lo conocen (Titos 1:16). Ahora ya sabes cómo era Jesús y que tan simple era su mensaje, imita a Jesús diariamente para que seas un ejemplo para muchos; ciertamente esta es la verdadera y única manera de vivir (1 Cor.11:1; Juan 3:21; 1 Juan 1:6-7). 5 ¿Hacemos El Bien Automáticamente? Hay muchos cristianos bienintencionados, que están esperando que Dios oprima un botón para que ellos hablen lo correcto y así estar dispuestos a servir a los demás. Ellos piensan que Dios les dará el deseo de servir a otros, y que automáticamente teniendo el Espíritu de Dios podrán llevar una vida llena de buenas obras para Cristo. Mientras tanto; Dios sigue esperando, y esperando, y esperando, a que ellos empiecen una nueva vida en Cristo. Muchas de estas mismas personas sienten que al forzase a hacer buenas obras para Dios estarían participando sus propias obras de justicia, para su propia gloria y así tratar de ganarse su salvación. ¿Qué es lo en verdad está pasando? ¿Qué es lo que la Biblia dice? ¡Vamos a descubrirlo! La Biblia dice que nosotros glorificamos al Padre al hacer buenas obras (Mateo 5:16). Tu entraras al reino del cielo con obras justas (Mateo 5:20). Jesús Cristo les dijo a sus seguidores que ellos harían más obras para Dios que las que Él hizo (Juan 14:12). El ser celoso de buenas obras forma parte de vestirte con toda la armadura de Dios (1 Pedro 3:13; Efes. 6:11). Al guardar las obras de Cristo, vences a tu naturaleza y así, te pones la naturaleza justa de Jesús Cristo (Apocalipsis 2:26). En la Biblia, se les advierte a los creyentes que no se preocupen de hacer buenas obras (Gal. 6:9; 2Tes. 3:13). Los apóstoles dijeron a los creyentes que se ocuparan en buenas obras (Tito 3:8). Ellos les recalcaron que era algo que tenían que aprender a hacer. (Tito 3:14). No iba a ser algo automático. Ellos tendrían que esforzarse, ser diligentes y perseverar en hacer buenas obras (Lucas 13:24; Heb.4:11, 10:24; Rom.2:6-7). Se les dijo que se esmeraran y estén entusiasmados al hacer buenas obras (Apoc.3:15; Tito 2:14). Aun a los ricos se les dijo que fueran ricos en buenas obras (1Tim. 6:17-18). Esto, era un requerimiento para las viudas (1 Tim. 5:10). Esto, es lo que continuamente hacían los discípulos de Jesús Cristo (Hechos 9:36; 10:2). Pablo forzaba su cuerpo a sujeción, para así estar dispuesto a ser sirviente de la justicia (1 Cor.9:27; Rom.6:18-19). Él era siervo de Jesús Cristo y hacía de corazón obras justas para Dios. (Efesios 6:6). Él sabía que al hacer obras justas, dejaría a Dios, aplastar a su naturaleza satánica bajo sus pies (Rom.16:20). Él sabía cómo forzar su entrada al Reino (Lucas 16:16; 17:21). Y al poder descansar de todos los trabajos de la carne; el entro al reposo de Dios y encontró la paz interna. (Hebreos 4:10). Satanás es enemigo de todos los que practican rectitud y justicia para Dios o los que viven como Dios vive. Satanás predica en contra de cualquier clase de obras hechas para gloria de Dios, y así continúa manteniendo cautivos a toda la gente, haciendo su voluntad en lugar de hacer la voluntad de Dios, la cual se hace diariamente en el cielo. (2 Tim. 2:26; Mat. 6:10). ¡No seas engañado religiosamente! Tu conocerás a los seguidores de Dios por sus obras (Mat. 7:20-21). La palabra de Dios dice que aun los ministros de Satanás serán juzgados por sus obras les guste o no (2Cor. 11:15). ¡Bendecidos son los que en todo tiempo practican rectitud y Justicia (Sal. 106:3)! 6 Como Arrepentirte ¿Cómo es que te arrepientes? Te arrepientes al producir buenos frutos. Produces buenos frutos al hacer buenas obras (Colosenses 1:10). ¿Qué tipo de buenas obras son buenos frutos? Aquí hay algunas ideas. 1. Estudia para ser aprobado por Dios. Estudia tu Biblia, para que si alguien te hace una pregunta le des una buena respuesta (2Tim. 2:15). 2. Ora por otros (Col. 4:2-3; 1Tesalonisenses 5:17). 3. Cada día de pago, separa una cantidad para Dios y así ayudes a otros (Proverbios 3:9-10). 4. Visita a alguien que esté en el hospital para Dios (Mat. 25:36). 5. Alegra el corazón de las viudas para Dios (Job 29:13). 6. Si sabes de alguien que está pasando un momento difícil, no gana lo suficiente, y sus hijos no tienen ropa o un lugar donde dormir. ¡Ayúdalos! (Santiago 2:15-18). 7. Paga tus cuentas. Has todo lo posible por no deberle nada a nadie (Romanos 13:8). 8. Mantente contento con lo que tienes (Hebreos 13:5; Fil. 4:11). 9. No cobres interés a tu prójimo (Sal. 15:5; Ex. 22:25). 10. Préstale a los que están en necesidad (Lucas 6:35). 11. No des lo santo a los cerdos (Mat. 7:6). 12. No tengas rencores, malos sentimientos, o albergues un espíritu de amargura (Heb.12:15). 13. Dale a los que estén en necesidad (Luc.6:38; 2Cor.9:6; Luc.3:10-11). 14. Perdona todo, lo que hagan contra ti (Mat.18:22; Efesios 4:32). 15. Dale animo a las personas mayores (Santiago 1:27). 16. No te olvides de tus padres o de tus parientes más cercanos cuando envejezcan (Efesios 6:2-3). 17. No uses malas palabras, vulgaridades o digas groserías. No uses el nombre de Dios en vano (Ex. 20:7; Santiago 3:8; Efesios 5:3-6; Mat. 12:36-37). 18. Usa le expresión “Si Dios Quiere” (Santiago 4:13-15). 19. Todo lo que hagas, hazlo en el nombré del Jesús Cristo (Col.3:17). 20. Invita a comer al pobre, discapacitado y al anciano (Lucas 14:13). 21. Comparte tu dinero, tu ropa, tu casa, tu carro, tu tiempo y tus recursos con otros (1Tim. 6:17-18). 22. Ofrece tu hogar, a los que necesiten un lugar donde quedarse. ¡Hazlo para Dios! (Mat. 25:35). 23. Glorifica a Dios con buenas obras (Mat.5:16). 24. Has tus oraciones en secreto. No uses oraciones repetidas; oraciones muy largas y oraciones memorizadas (Mat.6:5-7). 25. Cuando des algo, hazlo en secreto (Mat.6:3-4). 26. Enseña a tus hijos los caminos de Dios (Prov.22:6). 27. Ama a tu esposo o esposa, demuéstrales cariño diariamente (Col.3:14). 28. Mantén tu cuerpo, casa, patio, carro, y tus ropas limpias para Dios. Dios quiere ver qué hacemos con lo que Él nos da. El cuidar nuestras posesiones y el compartirlas con los demás, es como Él nos bendice con más (Mal.3:10; 2Cor.9:10-12). 29. Hazle el bien a tus enemigos (Mat.5:44). 30. Ora a Dios y pídele por tus necesidades (1Juan 3:22). 7 Principios para el Éxito El éxito en la vida es conocer a Jesús Cristo. Éxito es, el conocer los caminos de Dios. Tenemos éxito en la vida cuando perseveramos haciendo lo correcto para gloria de Dios. Éxito es, el permanecer en Cristo. Éxito en la vida es el entrar al reino de Dios que está en nosotros (Lucas 17:21, Versión Reina Valera). Estos principios para el éxito son las llaves para riquezas, honra y vida eterna (Romanos 2:7). La mente del hombre no puede concebir lo que Dios tiene planeado para los que El ama. Dios no quitara el bien a las personas que lo glorifiquen en el cielo haciendo buenas obras día con día en la tierra (Salmos 84:11; Mateo 5:16). Los justos son recompensados de acuerdo con sus obras de amor, hechas en el nombre de Jesús (Col. 3:17). La Biblia nos dice que si arrojamos nuestro pan a las aguas; después un tiempo regresarían nosotros (Eclesiastés 11:1). Si por cada buena obra que hagamos en servicio a otros, para gloria de Dios – esperando nada a cambio recibiremos una recompensa mucha más grande que la hemos hecho (Efes. 6:8; 2Cor. 9:10). ¿Es imposible dar más que lo que Dios da? Las personas más preciadas son la que sirven a otros. Son muy apreciados por los demás, así como lo son para Dios. Bienaventurado es aquel que piensa el desamparado, en el pobre y el necesitado. El Señor no solo lo protegerá de sus enemigos, El Señor lo salvará de su enfermedad. Él lo restaurara de sus enfermedades (Salmos 41:1-3). El Señor dará Su Espíritu a todo aquel que comience a obedecer lo que Él Dice, y vuelva a los caminos de Dios (Prov. 1:23). La Biblia se mantiene un libro cerrado para aquellos que rehúsan obedecerle (2Cor. 4:3 -4). Sirviendo a los demás es el estar arrepentido y es como empiezas obedecer a Jesús Cristo; nuestro ejemplo a seguir. El no vino para que le sirvieran-sino para servir (Marcos 10:45). Él dijo, el que quiera ser mayor de los demás tendrá que ser sirviente de los demás (Mateo 20:26-28; Filipenses 2:2-5; Lucas 9:48; Mateo 23:11; Marcos 9:35; 10:43,44; 1Cor. 10:24). En verdad; estas palabras son los principios para el éxito en esta vida y la venidera. Jesús Cristo – nuestro Señor y Amo - vino para enseñarnos a como ser sirvientes de los demás, para que así podamos ser exitosos en todo para gloria de Dios. ¿Recuerda, si los justos con dificultad se salvan, que pasara con los que no obedecen el evangelio de Jesús Cristo (1Pedro 4:18)? Porque sin la santidad, que el resultado de practicar rectitud y justicia; nadie vera al Señor (Hebreos 12:14). 8 Una Vida Sin Temor Cuando tú complaces al Señor, El té protege de tus enemigos, y los hará estar en paz contigo (2Samuel 22:18; Salmos 18:3, 17; Proverbios 16:7) Jesús dijo que no temieras al Hombre o lo que él pudiera hacer contigo. Sin embargo, temerle a Dios. El cual tiene el poder de destruir el cuerpo y el alma (Mateo 10:28). ¡Si, Dios pude destruir el alma del Hombre! Cuando tú obedeces a Dios, al seguir sus sagrados caminos, así como Él los hace, tú estás haciendo su voluntad en la tierra de igual manera que es hecha en el cielo (Mateo 6:10). Cuando tú obedeces a Dios, inmediatamente eres elegible para recibir todos los beneficios, que vienen después de servir al Creador de los cielos y la tierra. Él te protegerá del hambre (de una gran escasez de alimento) y de la guerra. De la violencia y del ladrón (Job 5:20-27; Salmos 10:5; 91:7; 34:7; 33:19; Prov. 3:25-26). Él te dará una larga vida y unos hijos saludables. El Señor te protegerá de cualquier mal y enfermedad, si tu mantienes sus caminos (Salmos 12:7; 91:3; 103:3). Tú haces esto al practicar justicia y honestidad en todos tus asuntos con la gente, así como hizo Abram (Gen. 18:19). Dios te protegerá si aprendes y practicas lo que a Él le complace, y si enseñas los caminos del Señor a tus hijos (Efes. 5:10; 6:4; Col. 3:20). Dios te ha dicho en Su palabra lo que es bueno, y como demostrarle amor (Miqueas 6:8; Zac.7:9-10; Mat.25:33-40; Prov.8:17). El buscar a Dios, es haciendo el bien para El (Sal.14:1-3; 1Ped 3:11). Haciendo lo bueno para El, es el servirle a Él. Tú complaces a tu Padre celestial de la misma manera que complaces a tu padre terrenal – haciendo todo lo posible para obedecerlo y complacerlo. Solo mantente ocupado sirviendo a otros con bondad y caridad. Tus cumples los mandamientos de Dios y la ley real cuando practicas rectitud y justicia hacia tu prójimo, para complacer a Dios (2 Juan 6; 1 Juan 3:7; Santiago 2:8). La ley no fue hecha para los justos, sino para los pecadores, porque los justos ya están cumpliendo con estos principios (1Tim. 1:8-10). Cuando practicas la justicia cada día, al no jurar, mentir y decir palabras ofensivas, estás viviendo conforme a la Ley (Col. 3:8-9; Prov. 8:13). Estas usando tu cuerpo como instrumento para la justicia (Rom.6:12-13, 19). Tu destruyes las obras de la carne al hacer el bien para de Dios, y así no llevas acabó los deseos de la carne (Rom.8:12-13; Gal.5:16, 19-21). Así, ya no estas bajo la ley sino bajo la gracia (Gal.5:18; Rom.6:14). Así, y solo así, tendrás una vida libre de temor y culpabilidad – una vida llena de la paz de Dios, la cual sobrepasa cualquier entendimiento (Filip.4:7). Estudios de la biblia en español. Siempre recuerda el comprobar todas las cosas en la palabra de Dios – como los bereanos hacían. Ellos recibieron las Escrituras con gran entusiasmo y examinaban las Escrituras diariamente, para comprobar si estas cosas eran así (Hechos 17:11).

wholewheatonline.com Search What People Need to Know People need to know how to repent. They need to be told more than to turn around and go the other way. They need to be told how to go the other way. They need to be told that practicing righteousness is the Way of the Lord (Matt. 21:32; Acts 18:25-26). Some 2,000 years ago, the disobedient spoke evil of this Way and this caused no small disturbance (Acts 19:9, 23). It will be the same today. This Way is simply overcoming evil by doing good for the Father in heaven, as Jesus did (Rom. 12:21; Psalm 37:27). Jesus did all His good works in the Father’s name (John 10:25). Now, we are to do good works in the Lord Jesus Christ’s name, giving thanks through Him to God the Father (Col. 3:17). Jesus always did things that were pleasing to the Father (John 8:29). We, too, are to learn what pleases the Lord by living to the Spirit and by doing all we do in love (Eph. 5:10; Gal. 5:25; 1 Cor. 16:14). We are to do good works, like Dorcas, who was continually doing deeds of kindness and charity (Rom. 2:6-8; Acts 9:36-41). She died in the Lord and was brought back to life to show us that those who do good works will be partakers in the resurrection of the righteous (John 5:29). Doing good works is how you repent and return to God so that your sins are wiped away (Acts 3:19). Job knew his sins were not being held against him because he lived to be a servant of others for God (Job 14:16-17; 29:12-18; Matt. 25:33-40). He knew God considered him blameless and upright because he was turning away from evil by doing good for God (Job 1:1, 8; 2:3; Rom. 12:21). Have you started to do good for God daily in your life? If so, can you say with Paul, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also all who have longed for His appearing" (2 Tim. 4:7-8)? Have you overcome the pulls of the flesh as our perfect example, Jesus Christ, did (John 16:33)? Do you have Jesus Christ formed in you (Gal. 4:19)? Have you been tested and perfected by God (2 Cor. 13:9, 11; 1 Peter 5:10)? Are you a new creation yet (Gal. 6:15)? Have you overcome by keeping Jesus Christ’s works in your life daily (Rev. 2:26)? Now you know how to live this Way, which Jesus Christ said is easy and pleasant (Matt. 11:30). It does not take intelligence, just daily obedience to your loving Father in heaven (Acts 6:7; 1 Cor. 1:26-28; 2:9). All you need to do is please Him with all your words and deeds (Heb. 13:16; Col. 3:17). Learn to be selfless, like Jesus Christ, by being a servant to others (Matt. 23:11). Put others first (1 Cor. 10:24). Practice love and charity to everyone you meet (Luke 11:41). Be a friend to everyone (Matt. 5:46-47). In short, live only to do good for God, as Jesus Christ said you should (Matt. 5:48).
