"Jesus blood covers our sins unconditionally." MISCONCEPTION: Jesus blood covers our sins unconditionally. THE TRUTH: The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all of our sins - past, present and future, but are there any conditions that must be met before the blood applies? Yes, 1 Peter 1:2 says we must obey Jesus Christ first and be sprinkled by the blood. In 1 Peter 2:24 it says, "Jesus Christ bore our sins in His body, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness." How do you live to righteousness? Simply practice righteousness (1 John 2:29; 3:7, 10). How do you practice righteousness? Engage in good deeds (Titus 3:8; Gal. 6:9; 2 Thess. 3:13). To what degree should you do them? Zealously (1 Peter 3:13; Matt. 5:20)! Why zealously? Because zealously overcoming evil with good, along with daily study of God’s word and prayer, is putting on the full armor of God (Rom. 12:21; Eph. 6:11). Most people who profess Jesus Christ as their Savior are totally unaware of this.

wholewheatonline.com Search Happiness Is... Just as there is only one truth, there also is only one happiness. True happiness comes from a warm relationship with God. Abraham, Noah, Daniel and a host of other people have had this true happiness in the past. What is true happiness? Happiness is: * Finding the true purpose for your existence (Eph. 2:10). * Knowing God's Will and then performing it daily in your life (Matt. 6:10; 7:21; Luke 8:21; 1 John 2:17; 1 Peter 2:15; 4:2, 6; Col. 1:10). * Having the attitude of a servant toward others at all times as Jesus Christ, our Savior and example, did (Rom. 15:2-3; 1 Cor. 10:24; Matt. 20:26-28; 23:11). * Having the knowledge of the truth - God's word - and being set free from all religious deception, with its satanic tentacles that grip the earth (John 8:31-32; Rev. 12:9). * Being set free from all pagan religious traditions of men that make the worship of Jesus Christ in vain (Mark 7:7). * Receiving answered prayer because you are constantly doing God's Will and are pleasing in His sight (1 John 3:22; John 9:31). * Hating what is evil and loving what is good (Psalm 45:7; 97:10). * Hating worldliness and the things that war against the Spirit, such as dirty movies and magazines, swearing, lying, stealing, lusting, drunkenness, etc., for these things are not pleasing to God (Rom. 8:13; Gal. 5:18-20). * Always being patient toward others (1 Thess. 5:14; 2 Tim. 2:24; James 5:8; 1 Cor. 13:4). * Always forgiving others and not holding any bitterness toward them (Matt. 6:14-15; Eph. 4:31). * Always living to please God within your marriage and having happy and obedient children (1 Cor. 7:2-5; Prov. 22:6). * Always having peace and not letting those who have no peace take yours (Rom. 14:19; Psalm 34:14). * Always having faith in Christ Jesus that He will supply all your needs after you have done God's Will, and knowing that all will go right for the righteous (Is. 3:10, Matt. 6:25-33). * Going to God and His word for the truth, instead of to books written by men, which are a great source of religious confusion (Eccl. 12:12). * Keeping life simple by keeping it pure (1 Thess. 4:11; Phil. 4:8; Matt. 5:8). * Having the trusting attitude of a child toward the Lord at all times (Matt. 18:3, Psalm 131:1-2). * Learning who Jesus Christ really is by studying God's word, instead of believing what man says He is (2 Tim. 2:15). * Studying God's word for the answers to all of life's problems and questions (2 Tim. 3:16-17). * Wearing out your Bible for God by reading it every day and highlighting the Scriptures (Acts 17:11). In conclusion, true happiness is knowing God's Ways and putting them into action in your daily life. This is the only way to be a friend of God. Remember always, Jesus Christ is God and we must keep only His words in order to be truly happy and never see death (John 8:51).

wholewheatonline.com Search How to Make a Convert for Christ In order to make a convert for Christ, one must follow the directions of Jesus Christ and His word. Would you agree? Does Jesus tell us to go door to door and ask people if they know where they are going when they die, and then proceed to tell them that they are going to hell if they don’t repent? Jesus’ instructions to us, from His word, are quite the opposite to what most people might think. Jesus says that before we can convert someone to Christ, we must first be converted to Christ ourselves. We must be fully trained as disciples or pupils of Christ; then we will be like our teacher (Luke 6:40). In order to be taught by our teacher, we must walk as He walks or live like He lives (1 John 2:6). We must first clean up our own lives to be impeccable examples of Christ for others and thus, show them the Way. If we try to bring others to Christ without first becoming converted, Christ calls us hypocrites (Luke 6:41-42). Jesus shouts from His word to those who call themselves Christians today, “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ (using my name all the time) and do not do what I say?” Jesus wants us to act on His word, not just talk about it (Luke 6:46-47). We are to show our love to others by our deeds, not words (1 John 3:18-19). We are to convert our loved ones without a word. Without a word! How? By your behavior (1 Peter 3:1). How is this done? Study to show yourself approved to God. Unless you study, God will consider you unapproved (2 Tim. 2:15—KJV). Then, in all things, show yourself to be an example of good works (Titus 2:7). Put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another (Col. 3:12-13). God wants you to learn to love the unlovable, like He loved you before you began living for Him daily. Love your spouse. Serve your spouse. Spend time with your spouse and enjoy life with your loved one, all the days of your fleeting life which God has given you under the sun (Eccl. 9:9, Eph. 5:22-33). Do not allow yourself to hold hard feelings against them and if you are angry with them, do not allow the sun to go down before you resolve your anger (Col. 3:18-19; Eph. 4:26-27). Do not argue at all, because this is breaking God’s command about repaying evil for evil or insult with insult. Be considerate and treat your spouse as a human and not as a child. Remember, you cannot change them. That’s God’s business and you are not minding your own business if you try. Pray to God and ask God to work with your spouse. Do not try to “lord it over them” or oppress them in any way. They have one Lord over them, and you might be getting in His Way. Remember, you cannot change them and for that matter, you can’t change yourself. Only God can change a person and He never made a nature He couldn’t change or crush (Rom. 16:20). Crushing our evil nature requires your cooperation though. You must live a repentant life by serving others daily for God (1 Cor. 3:7). This is what allows God to create a new nature in you so that you become a new creature or creation and have Christ’s nature formed in you (Gal. 4:19; 6:15). That is when you are made complete (2 Cor. 13:9, 11). Finally then, pray to God that perhaps God may grant those you care about repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth so they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil (2 Tim. 2:25-26). These are God’s directions and they work! Try following them! PREV NEXT 3 SIMPLE STEPS TO GET STARTED All About the Bible PDF MORE BIBLE STUDIES PODCASTS HOME © 2025 Whole Wheat International

Who Are the Stumbling Blocks? PREV NEXT

wholewheatonline.com Search Who Are The Sinners? Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34). Even Stephen forgave those who sinned against him (Acts 7:60). Who are these sinners? Jesus Christ said to the Pharisees, "If you were blind, you would have no sin" (John 9:41). In what way were they blind? They were blind to the true message of salvation through repentance (Matt. 21:32; 2 Peter 2:21). A great many of the priests of the Jewish church were becoming obedient to the faith of that message (Acts 6:7). What faith? They were becoming obedient to Jesus Christ’s faith, the true faith once delivered to the prophets, to Moses and to Abraham (Jude 3). God’s servants, the prophets, preached this message. It is not generally known that there is only one true gospel, one truth, one Way, and Jesus came to reveal that Way by revealing what the Ways of the Father are and what His Will is (Eph. 4:4-6). The Pharisees were not doing the Will of the Father. They were doing good works to glorify themselves, and not the Father (Matt. 5:16, 20; 6:1). They were not being converted and having their natures crushed by God (Rom. 16:20). They were not overcoming evil by doing good works for God (Rom. 12:21; 1 Peter 3:11; Rev. 2:26). They were not fighting the good fight of faith. They were not finishing the course or having a new nature (God’s nature) formed in them (Gal. 4:19). Jesus Christ’s true gospel reveals to us how to get rid of our old nature and have Christ’s nature formed in us. Jesus said His Way is easy and pleasant (Matt. 11:30). If He had not come and spoken that true message, people would have had no sin. But after they heard how to overcome, they no longer had any excuse for their sin (John 15:22). Many of the Pharisees knew Jesus Christ came from God as a teacher (John 3:2). Thousands of the Jews believed the message and became zealous, while others became jealous (John 11:45, 48, 50; Acts 17:5; 21:20). The Bible shows that the sinners are those who hear the true message of how to repent by overcoming evil through doing good and do not act upon it (Titus 1:16). God’s word refers to these sinners as goats, tares, bad fruit, bad fish, barren trees, wicked stumbling blocks and tasteless salt (Mal. 3:18; Matt. 3:10; 5:13; 12:33; 13:30, 38, 41-42, 48). Yes, anyone who knows and understands the true message and refuses to live it is a sinner (John 9:41; Matt. 7:24; Luke 6:46-47; James 4:17).

Give Your Anxieties to God Christ commands us to cast our anxieties on Him. He says we are to practice thinking only what is beautiful and peaceful. We are to seek peace and pursue it earnestly and turn away from evil by doing good for Him daily. This is the Will of God. We are to clean up our speech, clean up our thoughts and clean up our actions by practicing righteousness daily to glorify God. We are to pray to God for all our needs and wants, as well as for the needs and wants of others. Then, we are to have confidence that we will receive what we have asked of God in our prayers because we are living to please Him daily. Jesus Christ wants us to enter the good life that He has waiting for us. We enter this good life when we start doing good for others for the glory of God. This is how Christ is formed in us and we become new creations. Our anxieties begin to disappear when we enter this good life and rest from all our works of the flesh. Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 He must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. 1 Peter 3:11 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:11 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight. 1 John 3:22 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10 My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you. Galations 4:19 For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.

"If you say the sinner's prayer you are born again." MISCONCEPTION: You must be born again, quoting John 3:3. This is true, but only half true, because the explanation of how to be born again is not taught. THE TRUTH IS: If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him says 1 John 2:29. This Scripture clearly states that you must practice righteousness toward others daily, as Jesus Christ told us to do, or you will not be born again (1 John 3:7-10; 3 John 11; Acts 9:36). Jesus Christ came to show us the way to be born again. He was baptized. Then He was tempted by Satan and tested when He made Himself weak through fasting. He was persecuted by men while He went about doing good. He did good works in the Father’s name (John 10:25) for the glory of the Father. He instructed us to do the same (Matt. 5:16; Col. 3:17). Jesus learned obedience to the Father through the process of suffering for righteousness’ sake (Heb. 5:8) and, as a result of that process, He was made perfect (Heb. 5:9). So we can see through Christ's example that being born again is a process and many times ends in martyrdom, which includes a crown of life to those who faithfully endure to the end (Rev. 2:10; Matt. 10:22; 24:13; 2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 2:26).

wholewheatonline.com Search How Can We Be Rich Toward God? The example given by Jesus Christ in Luke 12:16-21 is in the form of a parable, which is a mystery, a riddle or a dark saying (Matt. 13:34; John 16:25; Ezek. 17:2; Num. 12:8). The meaning of a parable is hidden from the wise and the intelligent, and understanding of its meaning must be granted by Jesus Christ (Matt. 11:25; 13:11, 13, 16-17). When you are given the ability by Jesus Christ to understand a parable, then the meaning is almost child-like. You can begin to understand why Christ said it is revealed to babes. The man in the parable in Luke should have been rich in good works toward God. Paul told Timothy to warn those who were rich in this world to be rich in good works (1 Tim. 6:17-19). Even the poor and the not-so-wealthy were expected to be zealous in doing good deeds to glorify God (Titus 2:14; Matt. 5:16). It is a most crucial part of the conversion process. You do the practicing so you learn how to be righteous (John 3:21). Often, people write out checks to worthy organizations, but this does not excuse them from physically getting involved with acts of righteousness (James 1:22). Job knew how the Lord wanted to be worshiped and although he was rich, he personally got involved in serving the needy (Job 29:12-17). We are to use our bodies as living and holy sacrifices for God on a daily basis, and this is how God wants to be worshiped (Rom. 12:1-2; 6:13, 18-22). God wants us to learn to be servants of others, as Jesus Christ was (John 21:25; 1 John 2:6). Christ even said some of us would do greater good works than He did, for He had to return to the Father (John 14:12). This man described in Luke was only thinking of himself. He was inward, grasping and greedy. Jesus Christ was giving this example to expose every form of greed (Luke 12:15). A man’s life should not and does not consist of his possessions. A man’s relationship to God is what matters. God is the one we serve, the one we live to please and the one to whom we must answer in the day of judgment (Mal. 3:16-18). We must serve Him alone, on a daily basis (Matt. 4:10; Rom. 6:17-18). We must do the Will of God. What is God’s Will? It is the good works we do from the heart as happy, contented slaves of Jesus Christ (Eph. 6:6; Matt. 5:16, 20; 6:1). Practicing righteousness daily is easy and pleasant (Matt. 11:30; 25:33-40). It makes us beautiful people and allows Christ to be formed in us (Acts 9:36; Gal. 3:27; 4:19). So, if we are rich toward God in good works, we will not be harmed (1 Peter 3:13). God will protect us daily because now we are the apple of His eye. PREV NEXT 3 SIMPLE STEPS TO GET STARTED All About the Bible PDF MORE BIBLE STUDIES PODCASTS HOME © 2025 Whole Wheat International

wholewheatonline.com Search Jesus, Our Example Jesus is our example. One of the reasons He came to this earth was to show us and tell us the Way to live. We, as His true disciples, are to walk in the same manner as He walked, which means to live as He lived (1 John 2:6). How, then, did Jesus live? Jesus did not live to please Himself (Rom. 15:3). Instead, He lived to glorify God. Jesus’ purpose was to do God’s Will on earth as it is being done in heaven and to accomplish that which He was prophesied to accomplish in the word of the prophets (John 4:34; Luke 24:44). People asked Jesus how they could do the works of God and He told them they must believe in Him whom God has sent (John 6:28-29). Very few know that the word believe means adhere to the teachings of, put your trust in, take action and live the message of Jesus Christ. Believe also means obey (John 3:36; 11:25-26). Jesus said He was among us as one who serves (Luke 22:27). He instructed His disciples to be servants of all (Mark 9:35). He said, "For he who is least among you, this is the one who is great" (Luke 9:48). Jesus took the form of a servant to show us how to serve one another in love (Phil. 2:7). He was a servant to others for the glory of God (Matt. 5:16). He said His Way is easy and pleasant (Matt. 11:30). So the one who is great in the eyes of God is the one who serves others in love, just as Jesus did (Matt. 20:26-28). Jesus is making disciples who are zealous for good works (Titus 2:14). People who obey Him and worship the Father by practicing good works of love in serving others, are the ones who let their lights shine (Matt. 5:16). They are the righteous ones in God’s eyes because they practice righteousness continually for God (1 John 3:7, 10; 3 John 11). If it is with difficulty that the righteous - those who practice righteousness daily for God - are saved, what will become of the godless people and the sinners - those who will not practice righteousness for God by serving others (1 Peter 4:18; Matt. 25:41-46)?

"You have to go to church" MISCONCEPTION: You must go to church. Yet there are 30,000 different churches teaching differing doctrines. That’s religious confusion. That’s Babylon! THE TRUTH IS: Christ is the church and the body of believers who live like Jesus Christ gave them example to live are that church. They are overcoming their evil natures like Jesus gave them example to do. Shocking as it may seem, Jesus came to start a spiritual church. Everyone who belongs to that spiritual church must live a spiritual life for Jesus every day by overcoming like Jesus Christ their example told them to do (Rev. 3:21). Jesus Christ’s body is the church and that body is now spiritual so the gates of hell cannot prevail against it (Col. 1:24; Matt. 16:18). Jesus is the Rock on which the true church was founded. Peter’s name only meant pebble or small stone in Matthew 16:18 (see margin). Remember always, Jesus is the Rock. Peter is the pebble.
