wholewheatonline.com Search Are You a Hypocrite? You may have heard that a hypocrite is one who says one thing and does another. Although this is one of the definitions, God’s word indicates there are others also. The Pharisees or religious leaders of Jesus’ day were guilty of doing good for the wrong reasons. They did good to be seen of men. They wanted glory from men and not from God. When someone gave a large donation, the Rabbi would give that person honorable mention from the pulpit. These leaders would disfigure their faces when they fasted because they wanted everyone to know they were fasting. By doing this, they would be thought of as being righteous. Because these religious leaders were doing good for self and not in secret for God, they were hypocrites. These Pharisees were becoming more and more evil in their hearts because they were not overcoming evil by doing good daily for God. Instead, they were doing good for their own self esteem. They became more and more hypocritical until they were exposed by their own wickedness. This same thing is happening to some of the television evangelists today. You may think it is only a few, but keep your eyes open - be alert - the Lord will show you. Another type of hypocrite is the person who is double-minded. This person constantly professes what is right, yet constantly does what is wrong. This person has troubles because he is not doing right even though he professes it. He is a hypocrite because his life isn’t devoted to what is right. He is still very much in the world. He is worldly, carnal-minded, fleshly, and unstable in all his ways (James 1:8). Yet, because of inconsistency and wrong motives, they fall away and lose interest when tests and trials come (Matt. 13:21). The righteous must be tried and tested in order to build endurance and steadfastness so they will persevere to the end. You seek God by doing good to please Him daily (Rom. 3:10-12). By doing nothing, you remain a child of Satan (1 John 3:10). Many think the children of Satan do or practice what is wrong. They never consider that by doing nothing good, they are in fact doing evil. The sin of omission is the same as commission as far as God is concerned. If you are not doing good toward God daily, you remain an enemy of God because you are not practicing righteousness toward God and thus imitating Him (Eph. 5:1). Abraham practiced righteousness toward God when he did good unto the strangers in Genesis 18. Likewise, Lot was at the gate of the city looking for someone who needed a place to stay because he knew how dangerous it was for someone to stay outside in that evil city. He not only protected the strangers from evil, but he also entertained them with food and good company and gave them a place to rest. God considered Abraham and Lot righteous because of their conduct toward others. Job was also considered righteous because he constantly did good for God in all aspects of his life. Job knew he was going through a test from God (Job 2:10; 5:17-18; 13:9). Job helped the blind, the lame, the elderly, the widows and the orphans (Job 29:12-17). Many do not know that hidden in the book of Job is the fact that Job raised two orphans - a boy and a girl - and they ate at his table (Job 31:16-19). Yes, the Lord Himself said Job was righteous because of this. Job was turning away from evil by doing this (Job 1:1-8; 2:3). Can the Lord say these things about you, or are you still serving Satan by doing evil or doing nothing (1 John 3:7-10)? You cannot be holy and continue to do nothing for God. In fact, unless you are holy, you will not see the Lord (Heb. 12:10, 14) or be raised to immortality (John 5:29). Remember, only those who do good for God continually are of God (3 John 11). They are justified by Jesus Christ’s blood because they obey Him and become doers of God’s word (2 Tim. 3:17; James 1:22; 1 Peter 1:2). They will be the ones who receive glory, honor and immortality (Rom. 2:7, 10). We were created to do good works in the name of Jesus Christ for the glory of the Father (Eph. 2:10; Col. 3:17). Let’s not remain hypocrites or children of Satan. Instead let’s fulfill the purpose for which we were created.

wholewheatonline.com Search Come Out of Their Midst and Be Separate Believe it or not, we live in an uncivilized world. God has shown man that they are but beasts (Eccl. 3:18). Mankind has a heart that is desperately wicked and more deceitful than anything you can imagine. It is so evil, it is impossible to know (Jer. 17:9 King James Version). The days are only getting darker and the world revealing more wickedness as each day goes by. When humans do not obey the Lord, they are like brute beasts (Psalm 73:22). They are self-willed and indulge in the flesh with its corrupt desires, despising the authority of God, instead of living a life of doing good and doing God’s Will (Gal. 5:18-20; Rom. 1:24-32). Doing God’s Will is practicing kindness, justice and goodness towards others. Humans remain creatures of instinct doing Satan’s will in their bodies; they are like beasts meant to be destroyed (2 Tim. 2:26; 2 Peter 2:10). When you have human nature, you are by nature a brute beast (Jude 10). Becoming civilized, then, is a process of living by every word of God (Deut. 8:3; Prov. 30:5; Matt. 4:4). It was never meant for man, whom God created, to direct his own steps and live by the way he thought was best for himself (Jer. 10:23). Mankind was to walk in, live by or keep all of God’s Ways, which God has commanded us to keep for our own good (Deut. 5:33; 8:6; 10:12-13; 19:9). God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, neither are God’s Ways our ways. God’s Ways are all righteous; our ways are all wicked (Is. 55:8; Psalm 145:17). All our ways and thoughts are not good (Is. 65:2). This is why God says, in Isaiah 40:17, that all nations before Him are as nothing. They are accounted to Him as less than nothing, yet there were times when God would spare a whole city if there was just one person who was practicing charity towards others (doing justice) and seeking the truth (Jer. 5:1; Gen. 18:22-32; Dan. 4:35). When will mankind realize it is God Almighty who makes nations great and then destroys them when they forsake Him (Is. 60:12)? God has a policy and He does not change (Mal. 3:6). All nations who forget God will return to the grave (Psalm 9:17; 10:16). It is God who rules over the nations (Psalm 22:28; Job 12:23). Jesus is returning soon to set up His kingdom, which will have no end (Luke 1:33). It will be a kingdom where only righteousness dwells. People will only be keeping God’s Ways and doing God’s Will towards one another each and every day. All the nations who are left will come up from year to year at Jerusalem so they may learn God’s Ways in order to be civilized (Is. 2:3; Micah 4:2). Are you becoming civilized by keeping God’s Ways and doing God’s Will on this earth daily as it is being done by God in heaven (Matt. 6:10)? Are you practicing deeds of kindness and love to everyone you meet? Are you becoming born again by practicing righteousness towards your fellow man daily as Jesus gave us example to do (1 John 2:29)? Are you living this Way for Christ (Col. 3:17)? The Lord is coming soon! It’s time to get on His side, so we are off of His hit list (Is. 66:16). Separate yourself from the world and all of its foolishness (Rev. 18:4; 2 Cor. 6:17-18). Draw away from the world and its distractions, and instead draw near to God and His wisdom (1 John 5:19; Mark 4:19; Mark 8:36; James 4:8). Don’t allow yourself to be influenced by others in your life, who are not living God’s truth wholeheartedly (2 Thess. 2:10-12). Do not allow yourself to be influenced by television, movies, the internet, political figures and those of the world promoting themselves and their worldly causes (Luke 9:25, John 15:19; 1 John 2:15-17). When we look at the definition of faction, in Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary, it means - A party: in political society, combined or acting in union. It also means, discord, dissension, tumult (the commotion, disturbance or agitation of a multitude usually accompanied with great noise, uproar, confusion of voices). We know who the author of confusion is, Satan himself (1 Cor. 14:33). God uses factions, whether political or other groups in our lives, to reveal who have godly character and are approved, according to Him, so that they may clearly be seen (1 Cor. 11:19; 2 Peter 1:4). These groups reveal who is like-minded, and when it comes to factions, that means like-minded in the world. A faction is listed in Galatians 5:20 as a deed of the flesh, and it tells us that those that participate in the deeds of the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God (Gal. 5:19-21). God says we are to be in full agreement in what we say, so that there be no factions among us (1 Cor. 1:10 AMP). That we be perfectly united in our way of thinking and judgement, according to God and His Ways (Phil. 2:2; Titus 3:9). We cannot be united if we are divided by anything of this world. We are to do nothing from empty conceit (through factional motives or strife) but with an attitude of humility being neither arrogant or self-righteous, regarding others as more important than yourselves (Phil. 2:3 AMP). It is more important than ever to align yourself only with God and leave all worldliness behind; whether politics, or any other worldly group or individual that promotes something other than the whole truth of God’s Will for us (2 Tim. 3:1-7 AMP). The wisdom and the knowledge of this world is foolishness before God (1 Cor. 3:19). God’s word says that the knowledge of this world is demonic, which means it comes from demons (James 3:15; 2 Thess. 2:2; 1 Tim. 4:1). And be careful, as many will seem as though they promote God but secretly have another agenda (Matt.7:15; 2 Cor. 11:13-15). Isn’t that what is going to happen when the antichrist comes (Rev. 20:1-3)? The message will be so similar to God’s truth, that even the elect, if possible, will be deceived (Matt. 24:24; Mark 13:22). This is why it is so important not to get swept up in what is happening in the world (Luke 21:34-35; Col. 3:2; Heb. 12:1). This is why it is so important to build, and maintain, your stand-alone faith. If we are not studying daily and reminding ourselves continually of this truth, and God’s Ways, then Satan can use that as an open door to manipulate and confuse us (1 Cor. 14:33; John 6:33; Matt. 6:11). We must be sober and spiritually aware to what is all around us (1 Pet. 5:8). It is crucial, as the world is deteriorating and more divided than ever (Mark 3:23-26). Be on the alert, at all times, for deception. We are in the midst of spiritual warfare and must have our spiritual armor on at all times (Eph. 6:10-18). We must be united with God, and only God, knowing we come under His protection and promises (Phil. 2:2; Heb. 4:2; Psalm 91:1-3; Heb. 6:11-13). Remember always that God is in control and He is in the process of fulfilling His plan for this world (Isa. 25:1; Jer. 23:20). We do not want to get in the way of His plan. And, we certainly do not want to be stumbling blocks to anyone who is trying to enter the kingdom, because God is going to make a determination between the righteous and the wicked, the sheep and the goats, the wheat and the tares, the good fish and the bad fish, and the hearers of His word and the doers of His word (Matt. 18:7-9; Rev. 3:15-16; Matt. 23:13). He is making a determination between the ones who are civilized and those who choose not to be civilized (Mal. 3:18; Matt. 25:40-41; 13:37-38, 29-30, 48; James 1:22; John 5:29; Rom. 2:7). The faith of those who have good works is not dead, but alive (James 2:14-26)! Doing good is what makes people civilized. Stay close to God, stay in prayer and study your Bible daily to remind yourself of the truth of His Ways (James 4:8; 1 Thess. 5:17; 2 Tim. 2:15; 2 Pet. 1:13; 2 Pet. 3:1). If you come out of the world and are separate, standing with the Lord, you will be His and He will be yours (2 Cor. 6:16-18). It will surely serve you well in the end (Eph. 4:1-3; 1 Tim. 1:5; Matt. 25:21).

wholewheatonline.com Search Doing God's Will With Your Mouth You may recall seeing the three monkeys that depict hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. It is true that what we see with our eyes and hear with our ears affects how we think, and has a direct bearing on what we say. If we train our ears and eyes not to listen to or look upon violence, we will have a better attitude mentally. Watching television shows or movies that depict violence, sexual promiscuity or perversion does have a lasting harmful effect on the human brain. God hates those who love violence (Psalm 11:5). He also hates the perverted mouth (Prov. 8:13). God hates evil. He hates people who are arrogant and full of pride, He loves righteousness (Psalm 11:7). God wants us to keep our tongues from speaking evil, lying and from using naughty talk which includes telling dirty jokes (Psalm 34:11-13). He wants us to depart from the evil way by doing good (Psalm 34:14-15; 37:27). When all our words are good, God will satisfy us with good. Just as the deeds of a man’s hands return to him, so also do the words of his mouth. God watches everything we do (Prov. 12:14; 15:3). Fools mock when they are told to stop sinning so God can bless them (Prov. 14:9). God says we are fools if our mouths are perverted (Prov. 19:1). Christ, our example, did not swear and neither should we (1 Peter 2:22; 4:11). We should not quarrel with our mouths (Prov. 20:1-3). It is by our deeds of mouth, as well as body, that we distinguish ourselves as righteous or wicked (Prov. 20:11). We are to put our lives in order, in a right and pleasing way, before God. This is how we show God we are thankful to know Him and have His protection and blessings (Psalm 18:47). Sure, it is a sacrifice, a sacrifice of righteousness and thanksgiving (Psalm 50:22-23; Heb. 13:16). Let's live our lives so we will see good days (1 Peter 3:10-13). Let us not be numbered with those who turned against righteousness (2 Peter 2:21; 1 John 1: 6). How can we, who told God we would die to sin, keep on sinning (Rom. 6:2, 23)? Let us abhor what is evil and not disqualify ourselves from eternal life (Rom. 12:9; 1 Cor. 9:27). Let us seek our neighbor’s good, and not our own first, when we talk (1 Cor. 10:24). Let all that we say be said in love because this pleases God in heaven (1 Cor. 16:14; 2 Cor 5:9). Let us not continue to be "sons of disobedience," getting drunk and using our mouths for evil, but please Him in all respects (Eph. 2:1-3; 5:18; Col. 1:10, 12). Consider the members of your body as dead to sin (Col. 3:5-17). Clean up your mouth, put on the new self and do all that you do for God (Col. 3:23-25; Mark 7:20, 23).

wholewheatonline.com Search Be Perfect When the word of God says, "Be perfect," it means exactly what it says (Matt. 5:48; James 1:4; Heb. 12:23). But how can we be perfect? First of all, let’s realize that Jesus Christ was perfect, as His heavenly Father is perfect. He did the Father’s Will instead of His own (John 6:38). That is what made Him perfect. He kept the Father’s sayings and He lived exactly as He saw the Father live. Anyone who lives as God lives will suffer persecution, so Christ suffered persecution (2 Tim. 3:12). The Bible commands, "Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness" (1 Tim. 4:7). How do you do that? Keep God’s Ways and do God’s Will on earth as it is done in heaven (Matt. 6:10). Psalm 145:17 says, "The Lord is righteous in all His Ways, and kind in all His deeds." Then, it stands to reason that a disciple of Jesus Christ should strive to be righteous in all his ways and kind in all his deeds. If you know Jesus Christ was righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is truly born of Him (1 John 2:29). And this is the key! When you practice righteousness, you are righteous in God’s eyes (1 John 3:7). You have begun the godly process that allows God the Father to make you perfect (Heb. 12:23). By doing good deeds for God, you are practicing the truth that is according to godliness (Titus 3:8; 1:1; John 3:21). You have nothing to worry about now because you are a doer of the word as well as a servant of God (James 1:22; 1 Peter 3:13). Very few people know that the word "perfect" used in Matthew 5:48 and Philippians 3:15 means "spiritually mature." Spiritually mature disciples do not practice sin in their lives. Instead, they overcome sin and its temptations by continually doing good for God. No one who is truly born of God practices sin any longer in his life; and because he is born of God and God’s Spirit (seed) abides in him, he cannot sin (1 John 3:9). Those who belong to Jesus Christ have crucified the flesh with its evil practices and desires (Gal. 5:24). With the help of God’s Spirit, they put to death the things in their lives that are not pleasing to God (Rom. 8:13). Now, they walk in the Spirit and no longer carry out the evil passions they once had (Gal. 5:16). Jesus crushed Satan’s nature in them, with their help, and now they are new creations with His nature formed in them (Rom. 16:20; Gal. 4:19; 6:15). They are now perfect or complete (2 Cor. 13:9, 11). They are spiritually mature. They are truly born again and the evil one does not touch them (1 John 5:18). They have overcome the evil one (1 John 2:13-14). They are perfect because God has perfected them. 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 How Father's Can Do God's Will God wants to bless families, but He cannot unless the family members allow Him to bless them by being obedient to His Ways. In God’s plan for marriage, husbands are the leaders, providers and disciplinarians; while wives are the helpers, encouragers and homemakers (Eph. 5:22-23; Prov. 22:6; 31:10-31; Heb. 12:9; Gen. 2:18). God chose Abraham because He knew he would bring up his children and the rest of the household in the Ways of the Lord. He would encourage them to practice righteousness and honesty in all their dealings with their fellow man, and he would be a godly example himself (Gen. 18:19). Abraham brought up his children with discipline and instructed them in the Ways of the Lord. He was careful not to over-discipline his children so as to discourage them from living God’s Way (Eph. 6:4; Col. 3:21). Children learn respect for their parents through balanced discipline and love. "For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?" God’s word says (Heb. 12:7). "Our fathers disciplined us and we respected them" (Heb. 12:9). Yes, the father who neglects discipline despises himself (Prov. 15:32). God knows that foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but loving, godly discipline will remove it far from him (1 Cor. 16:14; Prov. 22:15; 29:15, 17, 19; 19:18). Fathers, there is no substitute for discipline (Prov. 13:24). God believes in discipline done in wisdom and in love, never in anger (Jer. 10:24). There are also other forms of discipline you can use, such as depriving disobedient children of some of their freedom. Be sure to continually seek the Lord for wisdom. Wives who are living to please the Lord are commanded to be subject to their husbands. Help and encourage your husband to obey the Lord and do not discourage him when he disciplines the children. Do not hinder him, as Eve hindered her husband (Col. 3:18; 1 Cor. 11:8-9; 1 Tim. 2:14). Husbands, your wives cannot be in subjection to you until you are in subjection to God and have fulfilled your rightful duties to the Lord by being the loving master of your own household. Let us be prepared to meet the Lord should He return shortly (Luke 1:17). Let us stop depriving ourselves of happiness because we rebel against God’s Ways. After all, God’s Ways are all good for us (1 Cor. 7:3-5). 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 Interpretation or Revelation? Many people interpret the Bible differently. As a result, we have thousands of different faiths believing in the same one God. But wait a minute! If the Bible is the truth of God, it can’t be an interpretation. A man once said that no one could know the truth because the truth is just an interpretation; how one interprets a Scripture could be far different from how someone else interprets the same Scripture. Is there any truth to the above statement? Read on and you’ll be shocked! First of all, God’s word, the Bible, says that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but rather men moved (directed) by the Holy Spirit spoke from God (2 Peter 1:20-21). Men who lived hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of years apart spoke the very same prophesies that God inspired them to repeat. Some examples of this are found in Revelation 6:15-17; Isaiah 2:19, 21, and Luke 23:30. Another good example of the same prophesies given to different people who lived in different times is found in Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3; Zechariah 14:4; and Acts 1:10-12. There are literally countless Scriptures in God’s word that prove God’s word is the truth and not merely interpretations of men. What is not known is that God’s word is a mystery that must be revealed to man by God (Gal. 1:11-12). The Apostle Paul who was a Pharisee, and whose father was a Pharisee, did not understand the very Scriptures he had studied all of his life. The Apostle Paul, after studying the Scriptures all his days, did not even know what the Will of God was. That also had to be revealed by God to him (Acts 22:14). People of the world, whom God is not calling to Himself, cannot understand God’s word because it is a veiled book to them. God has allowed Satan to keep their minds blinded, that they might not see the light of the gospel of God (2 Cor. 4:3-4). They are being held captive by Satan to do his will, which is ignore God daily (2 Tim. 2:26). Jesus told His disciples that to them only had the mysteries of God’s kingdom been revealed. He told them their eyes were blessed because many righteous men and ministers desired to know and understand what the apostles knew, but could not (Matt. 13:11, 16-17). Jesus said He was going to tell the world the truth, which has been hidden from the beginning of time, only He would tell the masses in a parable form so they could not understand (Matt. 13:35). He would, however, explain everything He said in parables to His disciples privately. His disciples were those whom He chose to call to Himself (Mark 4:33-34). Parables are dark sayings, riddles (Num. 12:8; Ezek. 17:2; 20:49). Speaking in parables is also called speaking in figurative language (John 16:25). Even the Pharisees could not hear Jesus’ words because they were of their father the devil (John 8:43-44). There were, however, some Pharisees whom God was calling into the truth, and they were becoming obedient to the faith (Acts 6:7). You see, no one can come to Jesus Christ unless the Father calls or draws him (John 6:37, 44; Acts 2:47; 13:48). So you see, the truth must be revealed by God, or else the best a person can do is interpret the word of God. Doctrines and traditions of men, which produced man-made religions, have come through man’s interpretations. These man-made traditions and man-made doctrines make man's worship of God in vain (Mark 7:7-8). If a person were to attend all the seminaries of man for a lifetime, it would be in vain, for he is reading from a book he does not understand. So he must interpret, and those interpretations are lies and half-truths. God’s word must be revealed, and it is revealed only to those who seek God for the truth, and not man. Those are the ones who find that one truth. Jesus Christ praised the Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding the truth from the wise and intelligent and revealing it to those who are infants or teachable (Matt. 11:25). God considers the wisdom of this world foolishness, because that knowledge is earthly, demonic, and will not impart health, happiness, joy, peace, or eternal life (1 Cor. 3:19; James 3:15). We must go to Jesus Christ directly to receive eternal life (John 5:40). We cannot receive eternal life from some man or his teachings. Many feel if they attend a church regularly, listen to a minister and support that church, and attend its functions, they will be saved. Nothing could be further from the truth (Psalm 146:3; 118:8-9). Trust God exclusively and check up on man continually by studying God’s word on your own (2 Tim. 2:15; 3:16-17; Acts 17:11). One of the biggest lies that has been told in this world, is that a person cannot rightly understand the word of God unless he or she has a good understanding of the Greek and Hebrew languages. What does God’s word say about that? God is calling very few who are wise or noble, but is calling the fools, the weak, the base people and the despised of the world. He is calling those who are nobody to be somebody (1 Cor. 1:26-28; Eph. 4:28; Matt. 21:32). God is calling children (who are mostly the uneducated of the world), and revealing His message of His Way of life to them, whereas He is withholding the understanding from the wise and from many who know the Greek and the Hebrew (Matt. 11:25; 13:17; 18:3; 1 Cor. 1:19-20; Luke 10:21-22). This is not to say that God would not call some of these people, if they sought God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. I am not ashamed to proclaim that God’s words, as well as His parables, have been revealed to me, and I have been taught personally by the Lord Himself for a period of three years, like Paul was (Gal. 1:11-12, 18). Therefore, I teach the truth from God’s word, through God’s revelation—not by man’s interpretation. God has given me the pen of a ready writer and has caused me to write hundreds of Bible researched studies over the years, to help others who would want to know their Bibles well and as quickly as possible (Psalm 45:1). These writings have proven to transform lives, showing that they are not my writings, but rather information I have received through inspiration and revelation from the Lord. I believe the Lord has done this because the days are coming soon, when wickedness will be so great that no man can safely preach the truth of God’s word anymore. So we must redeem the time and learn God’s word now, as fast as possible. Year after year the Lord has taught me while I lay on my bed and has instructed and inspired me on what I should write. Notice in God’s word that what I am saying is true and not a lie. His word cannot lie and I live only to imitate Him (Heb. 6:18; 1 John 2:21). Job 33:15-16 - In a dream, in a vision of the night, when sound sleep falls on men, while they slumber in their beds; then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction. Is. 50:5 - The Lord God has opened my ear, and I have not disobedient; Nor did I turn back. Is. 50:4 - The Lord God has given Me a tongue of disciples, that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple. Psalm 16:7 - I will bless the Lord, who has counseled me; indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. Is. 49:2 - He has made My mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of His hand He has concealed me; He has also made Me a select arrow, He has hidden Me in His quiver. So you see, the truth must be revealed by God, or else the best a person can do is interpret the word of God. The key to having God reveal His teaching to you is you must seek God by doing His Will, which is doing good for God and begin to make all your ways right before Him (John 7:17). This is done by keeping, doing or performing Jesus Christ’s Words in your daily walk with Him (Psalm 37:27; John 8:51; 11:26; Rev. 2:26).

wholewheatonline.com Search Walk in the Light What does the expression "walk in the light" as found in 1 John 1:7 mean? Light and darkness have always been used to represent good and bad, right and wrong, righteousness and lawlessness. Walking in the light is doing good, whereas walking in the dark is doing evil. Avoiding doing what is bad is not being good. Refraining yourself from doing evil is good only when it is connected with a life of doing good for God. You see, to overcome character weakness, you must be engaged in building character strengths, because you overcome evil by doing good (Rom. 12:21). Now, God knows human nature is lazy, indifferent, contentious, slothful and evil. It wants to do what is good but is unable. This is because the pull for evil inside is greater than the pull for good. So a plan had to be devised in which all could have an opportunity for Salvation - the lonely, the rich, the noble, the lame and the blind - everyone! The god of the carnal heart, Satan, had to be crushed and removed from the heart, and only God could do that (Rom. 16:20). The desire to do good had to be strengthened, and only God could do that. Godly character had to be built, and only God could do that (1 Cor. 3:7). Human nature had to be perfected, and only God could do that (1 Peter 5:10). But what could man do for his part? Repent! Repent means be willing to change your ways. Change your ways to God’s Ways. How? By disciplining yourself to perform acts that please God daily. Is it hard? Jesus Christ said His Way is easy and pleasant and a child would not have any trouble performing it daily (Matt. 11:30). When you walk in the light as Jesus Christ did by only living to please the Father, you are obeying Jesus Christ and will be sprinkled with His blood (1 Peter 1:2). The blood of Jesus Christ will then cleanse you from all your sins (1 John 1:7). Jesus Christ bore our sins in His body so we might die to our sinful natures by living a righteous life (1 Peter 2:24). We prove that we are God’s children by practicing righteousness daily for God (1 John 3:7, 10). The one who does good daily for God is of God (3 John 11). This good is done daily by sharing food and clothes with widows and orphans (Heb. 13:16; Luke 3:11; James 1:27). This good is done by acts and words of kindness and charity - to the blind, the lame, the old, the young, your wife, your children, your folks - all done in the name of our precious Lord and Master, and soon to return King, Jesus Christ (Acts 9:36; Col. 3:17).

wholewheatonline.com Search How to Please the Lord When Jesus returns and sets up His world-ruling government in Jerusalem, all the nations of the earth will stream into it. They will say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord that He may teach us concerning His Ways, and that we may walk in His paths." He will teach people how to live their lives to please Him (Is. 2:2-3; Micah 4:1-4). Nation will not go to war against nation anymore, and they will never again learn war (Is. 2:4). Everyone will invite his neighbor over for dinner (Zech. 3:10). What will Jesus Christ teach the nations concerning His Ways when they come up to Jerusalem? He will instruct them to help those in need (Matt. 25:31-40). "Dispense true justice, and practice righteousness by practicing kindness and compassion each to his brother. Do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another," the Lord of Hosts says (Zech. 7:9-10). "These are the things you should do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace in your gates. Also let none of you devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love perjury; for all these are what I hate" (Zech. 8:16-17). People in the past refused to pay attention to God (Zech. 7:11). But it is prophesied that people will listen, when Jesus Christ comes back to rule the world (Zech. 8:20-23; 14:9). Man says today, "What should I do to please the Lord? Offer my firstborn for my rebellious acts?" Christ says, "I have told you, oh man, what is good. Practice righteousness. Practice justice. Practice loving one another and being kind to one another and walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). Is this not what He told Cain (Gen. 4:7; 1 John 3:10-12), Abraham (Gen. 18:19), and Moses (Heb. 3:5)? And is this not what Daniel knew and told the king (Dan. 4:27), and what Jesus told us? Overcome evil by practicing righteousness for God in His name for His glory (Rom. 12:21; Col. 3:17; Matt. 5:16). Practice hospitality by inviting the blind and lame over for dinner (Rom. 12:13; Luke 14:13). Share your clothes, your money and your food with those in need, and share your home with the weary traveler (Luke 3:11; 1 Tim. 6:17-18; 1 John 3:17). We are without excuse when we consider the Scripture that says, "To the one who knows to do good (practice righteousness) and does it not, to him it is sin" (James 4:17). God’s word also says, "How blessed are those who practice righteousness at all times" (Psalm 106:3; 11:7).

wholewheatonline.com Search All About God's Nature There are three natures mentioned in God’s word: God’s nature, Satan’s nature and human nature. Satan’s nature controls human nature, so there is no good thing in human nature (Luke 18:19; Rom. 7:18; John 7:7). Human nature is being held captive by Satan to do Satan’s will (2 Tim. 2:26). Satan’s will is put to death in our bodies when we do only God’s Will daily in our lives. Jesus Christ came to tell us about the Father’s nature. He said it is very easy for us to acquire the Father’s nature (Matt. 11:30). All we need to do is forsake our human nature by imitating Him (1 Cor. 11:1; Eph. 5:1). The Lord is righteous in all His Ways and kind in all His deeds (Psalm 145:17). When we practice righteous deeds for God, we are obedient to Jesus Christ and we allow the Spirit of God to dwell in us (1 John 3:10; Acts 5:32). We are keeping His Ways because we are doing His Will. The Spirit of God then reveals God’s nature in us (Rom. 8:29; Gal. 1:16; 4:19). This is called the doctrine that conforms one to godliness (1 Tim. 6:3). Human nature will not die without a fight. That is why you must fight the good fight of faith, and have faith that God will implant His nature in you (Psalm 4:5; Phil. 2:12). You will then be a new creature in Christ Jesus (Col. 1:28). When you have this new godly nature, then you will be righteous in all you do. You will be like Jesus because you will keep His deeds (Rev. 2:26). When all you do is righteous, then all you will reap will be blessings. You will be living the abundant life, full of joy and peace, that Jesus Christ came to show you (John 10:10; Acts 3:19, 26). You will understand that you were created to do good works and that the message of eternal life is righteousness (Eph. 2:10; John 8:51). Satan hates it when you practice righteousness for God’s glory because this is how he is put to death in your flesh (Matt. 5:16). Do not let him stop you! Be zealous for good deeds and overcome your human nature (1 Peter 3:13; Rom. 12:21; Psalm 37:27). That is how you resist Satan and have God’s nature formed in you (James 4:7; Eph. 6:11, 13). The God of peace and love, who is calling you to this holy Way of life, will soon crush Satan under your feet, and after you have suffered a little, God will perfect His nature in you (Rom. 16:20; 1 Peter 5:10; Gal. 4:19).

wholewheatonline.com Search How to Enter the Kingdom of God "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand," declared John the Baptist (Matt. 3:2). Then, Jesus Christ came with the same message (Matt. 4:17). Later, He instructed His disciples to proclaim the same message - the one and only true message of Jesus Christ (Matt. 10:7). What is that complete message? It is about the kingdom of heaven. What about it? It is at hand, right now, at this moment. How do you get into the kingdom of heaven? Repent! Change! Turn around! Stop living one way and start living another. The Bible says Satan is the god of this world and his subjects are those who are held captive to do his will (2 Cor. 4:4; John 12:31; 2 Tim. 2:26). Jesus says that only those who do the Will of His Father will be freed from Satan’s control and enter the kingdom of heaven (Rom. 16:20; Matt. 7:21). He says this kingdom is located within you - in your heart - and that you enter it by practicing righteousness for Him daily (Luke 17:21; Matt. 6:1). Christ also says your righteousness must surpass the hypocritical stage of the scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 5:20). You must eventually do God’s Will from your heart (Eph. 6:6). No wonder Luke 16:16 says you must force your way into the kingdom. Jesus Christ says, "Strive [push yourself] to enter by the narrow door" (Luke 13:24). He says, "By your perseverance, you will win your souls" (Luke 21:19, 1977 NASB). Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for good deeds? (1 Peter 3:13). God is pleased with such sacrifices as practicing righteousness, doing good deeds and sharing what you have with others (Heb. 13:16; Luke 14:13). The Bible says the one who does good is of God and is righteous (3 John 11; 1 John 3:7). Let us not grow weary of doing good, because this is the central message of the kingdom of heaven (Gal. 6:9; 2 Thess. 3:13; Rom. 6:13). Overcoming our evil natures by doing good for God is the narrow gate by which we enter the kingdom of God (Rom. 12:21; Gen. 8:21; Prov. 14:12; Eph. 2:1-3). We must seek first His kingdom by practicing His righteousness in our daily lives (Matt. 6:33). Then God will begin to bless us and change our ways to conform to His Ways (Eph. 5:1). This is the way to enter the good life that God has waiting for all who will repent and be servants of others.

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).

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).
