Matthew 7:15
7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
False prophet's work is to destroy the true Church.
The signs they have are as follows:
The solution is our watchfulnessas follows:
Matthew 7:15
7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
False prophet's work is to destroy the true Church.
The signs they have are as follows:
- Ungodly men, who turn the grace of Our God into lewdness.
Jude 1:4
1:4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdnessand deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Meaning misusing God's graceas follows:- Not repenting in ministering God.
- Neither being obedient nor faithful in ministering God.
- Being false in ministering God because of false consecration not according to the will of God or His Word = ministering without any love.
- Not repenting in ministering God.
- Not having the Spirit.
Jude 1:19
1:19 These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
Meaning being flesh men as animal, there is neither Holy Spirit nor faith but they only live naturally.
Genesis 6:3
6:3 And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."
Jude 1:10
1:10 But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.
It equals to there is no love, they only live in rebellion causing division. Consequently, they only wait for perdition.
The solution is our watchfulnessas follows:
- Contending earnestly for the true faith.
Jude 1:3
1:3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faithwhich was once for all delivered to the saints.
The process of getting and keeping the true faith is as follows:
Romans 10:17
10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.- Hearing the Word in anointing of Holy Spirit earnestly until we can understand.
- Believing in the Word without any doubt so we get the true faith by hearing of God's Word.
- Keeping the faith.
- Hearing the Word in anointing of Holy Spirit earnestly until we can understand.
- Building ourselves up on our most holy faith.
Jude 1:20
1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
We can get it through this way:
Hebrews 4:12
4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.- Receiving the sharp teaching Word which is able to sanctify us, especially our heart from sins, so we can get the pure faith.
Matthew 15:19
15:19 "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. - Keeping the pure faith through not sinning although there is chance.
- Receiving the sharp teaching Word which is able to sanctify us, especially our heart from sins, so we can get the pure faith.
- Making effort to get perfect faith.
James 2:22
2:22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?
The perfect faith is faith with the work of faith, namely obedience.
For example, Abraham has the perfect faith through his obedience.
Genesis 22:1-3
22:1 Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
22:2 Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."
22:3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had toldhim.
To get the perfect faith, we indeed need to sacrifice all things but the true teaching Word.
Having the obedience, we have the image of God in our life.
Genesis 1:26-27
1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
The results are as follows:- We have the power of creationto create what that is not exist or to make impossible things possible or to perform miracle in our life.
- We have the power of victoryover the fish of the sea (the image of antichrist with the power of mammon or money power), over the birds of the air (the image of Satan or spirit of uncleanness in sexual affairs, fornication, or adultery), and over every living thing that moves on the earth (the image of false prophet with lies).
Genesis 1:28
1:28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." - We have the power of perfecting.
Genesis 1:31
1:31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
We are created to become very good or perfect although we have been very bad.
The perfect life is prepared to welcome Jesus' second coming on glorious clouds to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb, the kingdom of peace a thousand years, and New Jerusalem, in which there is no doubt (the meaning of "there was no more sea").
Revelation 21:1
21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
We live in peace and joy together with God.
- We have the power of creationto create what that is not exist or to make impossible things possible or to perform miracle in our life.
