Repent and Believe the Gospel!



REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL!
Jesus said,"The time is fullfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe the Gospel"
The Gospel is that the Word of God became a man; Jesus, the only begotten of the Father, the Son of God, full of grace and truth, and lived in this world with every temptation that you and I face, and yet He never sinned and He gave himself to die on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. God made Him who knew no sin to become sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. He was buried in a tomb, and on the third day the Father raised Him from the dead. He was seen of above 500 witnesses after He arose and He ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven. He is there right now, alive, making intercession on our behalf to the Father. He is coming again with all the saints and all the angels in great power and glory and all who live and believe in him will be united with him and thus will we ever be with the Lord. I urge you to seek Him now, during this time while the long suffering of God is waiting, for the Day of the Lord is coming soon. He loves you and He will save you to the utter most if you will put your trust in Him.

He That Does Righteousness

1Jn 3:7&8 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
He that committs sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Rom 6:14-18 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness.
Yes you are righteous because of Jesus' obedience if you repent and believe the Gospel. Because you believe what he did on the cross it is imputed to you for righteousness. If you believe that you were baptised into His death, that you are indeed dead unto sin and alive unto righteousness. If you, when you sin, confess your sin He is faithfull to forgive you and cleanse you and you walk on in faith and obedience. Repenting and believing the Gospel, baptized in water, having received the gift of the Holy Spirit, being led by the Holy Spirit every day to do the will of the Father, thus you are doing righteousness. To say that your righteousness has nothing to do with your obedience and only to do with Jesus obedience is a lie, and the Holy Spirit is no lie. Jesus said in Matt 7, Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that does the will of my Father. He that does righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.
