Jesus Refuses None

 

Jesus Refuses None

     Jesus refuses none. Jesus said at John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. In other words Jesus promised that he would not cast out murderers, liars, thieves, prostitutes, drug addicts, alcoholics, and criminals that repent and come to Him. To anyone reading this remember that you are not too evil to come to Jesus today and get saved. The meanest criminal that murdered, robbed banks, raped, and lied can come to Jesus and get saved. Jesus did not exclude anyone from salvation; Jesus promised Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Get saved and come to Jesus today and let the blood of Jesus wash away your past sins and make you white as pure snow; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.

     John said at Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say Come; And let him that heareth say Come. And let him that is athirst Come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Jesus is not like organizations or clubs that reject people who don't have enough money or belong to a wrong social standing. If you come to Jesus, He will accept you and won't refuse you. Jesus won't say I'm too busy, I'm out to lunch, I don't have time for you, or come back later while I place your call on hold. Jesus is on the mainline tell him what you want. The Jesus line is never busy; Call Him up and tell Him what you want. Jesus will always answer your call and refuse no one. Jesus promised us at Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

     Someone might say How can I know that it's true that Jesus refuses none and won't remember my sins? Tell this person God who is Jesus can not lie and will not cast out anyone that comes to Him by faith. Romans 3:4 says Let God be true; but every man a liar. Titus 1:2 says In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie, promised before the world began. Remember whatever Jesus says is true today because Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 

     Jesus refuses none and will in no wise (meaning under any circumstances) cast anyone out. Jesus is waiting in heaven (always awake and never sleeping) hoping people come to Him for peace and salvation. Psalm 121:4 says Behold He (Jesus) that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Jesus charges no fees and heals everyone that comes to Him by faith. After anyone comes to Jesus, Jesus will constantly pray for that person to overcome this evil world. Jesus' prayer for believers is listed at John 17:15 that says I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 

     How comforting to realize that Jesus receives and can save thieves, criminals, liars, prostitutes, and murderers. But after salvation through grace by faith in Jesus that can not be lost, Jesus wants people to stop sinning. Paul said at Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein. Stop sinning after salvation or else God will chastise you and give you a whooping. And if christians keep sinning, they can die before their time. Romans 6:23 that applies to all people including christians says For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1) If You Were A Thief, Jesus Will Receive You

     If you were a thief that robbed, stole cars, embezzeled money, or lied on your taxes, Jesus will receive you if you come to Him. Jesus received and saved a thief by Him on the cross. Luke 23:42 says And he (the thief) said unto Jesus, Lord remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Jesus accepted the thief with no other conditions and saved him. Revelation 1:5 says Unto Him (Jesus) that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. In other words Jesus loves you as you are and then washes away your sins. Jesus did not first say He would wash your sins and then love you. Jesus first loved us as we were in your filthy sins (Come as you are) and then washed us white as snow by His precious blood shed at the cross of Calvary.

     The ground is level at the foot of the cross. We all are sinners needing to be saved by Jesus to avoid hell. Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There are no big I's and little you's with Jesus. Everyone needs to repent of their sins and accept Jesus to be free from the sorrow of this world. Jesus doesn't want anyone to perish in their sins and wants all to come to repentance with salvation. 2 Peter 3:9 says The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2) If You Were A Liar, Jesus Will Receive You

     If you were a liar, Jesus will receive you. Jesus received Peter after Peter lied and said he didn't know Jesus. Luke 22:55 says And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. but a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him and said, This man was also with Him (Jesus). And he denied Him saying Woman I know Him not. Peter cussed like a sailor and denied that he knew Jesus to a maid on the porch, a damsel in the palace, and to Malchus (the man that had his ear injured by Peter that Jesus healed). After Peter's third denial, the cock crew and you had a preachin' chicken and a chicken preacher face to face. 

     Peter lied and denied that he knew Jesus three times. But when Jesus met Peter after the resurrection, Jesus forgave Peter three times and told Peter to feed my sheep (John 21:16). Even though Peter was a liar, Jesus forgave and blessed Peter to preach during Pentecost and save three thousand lost sinners. Jesus blessed Peter with a great anointing where Peter's shadow healed multitudes of people from diseases. Like Peter, if you used to be a liar and cheater, Jesus can save, forgive, and use you to be a great servant of God.

3) If Your Past Sins Have Made You Helpless, Jesus Will Receive You

     If your past sins have made you helpless, Jesus will receive you. If your past sins of taking drugs, drinking alcohol, and whoremongering have made you helpless with sickness, Jesus will receive you, heal you, and use you for His glory. Jesus received and healed a helpless lame man by the pool of Bethesda who had been sick for 38 years in one second. Jesus did what the lame man could not do in an instant. When man says it is impossible, Jesus says all things are possible with God. 

     John 5:5 says And a certain man was there (by the pool of Bethesda) which had an infirmity thirty eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, He saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered Him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled to put me into the pool But while I am coming, another steppeth down before me; Jesus saith unto him Rise, take up thy bed and walk; And immediately the man was made whole and took up his bed and walked and on the same day was the sabbath. Like this man by the pool of Bethesda, come to Jesus now and Jesus will receive and heal you while you become a blessed servant for Jesus.

And Sing The Words Below For Christ Receiveth Sinful Men

Jesus Refuses None

Sinners Jesus will receive; Sound this Word of Grace to all

Who the heavenly pathway leave; All who linger; All who fall

Sing it o'er and o'er again; Christ receiveth sinful men

Make the message clear and plain; Christ receiveth sinful men

Come and He will give your rest; Trust Him for His Word is plain

He will take the sinfulest; Christ receiveth sinful men

Now my heart condemns me not; Pure before the law I stand

He who cleansed me from all spot; satisfied its last demand

Christ receiveth sinful men; Even me with all my sin

Purged from every spot and stain; Heaven with Him I enter in

4) If You Were A Murderer, Jesus Will Receive You

     If you were a murderer, Jesus will receive you. Jesus received and saved Saul (Paul) who was a murderer that killed christians. Even though Saul who later became Paul consented as a murderer to Stephen's death, Jesus forgave Saul for murder and blessed Paul to become a great preacher for God. After salvation Paul proclaimed at 1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief. If Jesus can forgive Paul for murder, Jesus can forgive any past murderer or any sinner that reads this bible study.

     Jesus also forgave King David for murdering Uriah the Hittite to cover up his sin of adultery with Bathsheba (Uriah's wife). After David repented, Jesus blessed David to have a son named Solomon who became the wisest man to live beside Jesus. Jesus forgave Moses for murdering an Egyptian and blessed Moses to lead the people of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. If Jesus can forgive David and Moses for murder, Jesus can forgive anyone reading this for their past sins and bless them greatly. Come to Jesus today and receive peace and don't allow your past sins to allow guilt to keep you from Jesus. Jesus refuses none.

5) If You Were A Prostitute or Adulterer, Jesus Will Receive You

     If you were a prostitute or adulterer, Jesus will receive you. Jesus received the woman at the well who was married five times and the sixth man she was with was not her husband. Jesus told the woman at the well at John 4:18 For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in that saidst thou truly. Even though this woman at the well had great sin, Jesus blessed her with salvation and joy; John 4:28 says The woman then left her waterpot and went her way into the city and saith to the men, Come see a man which told me all things that ever I did; is not this the Christ? Wow this woman at the well brought all the men she slept with as a harlot to Jesus and led these men to Jesus and salvation. 

     Now if Jesus can receive, forgive, and bless this prostitute woman at the well who was with six men and probably hundreds of men, Jesus can receive, forgive, and bless any prostitute or adulterer that is reading this bible study. Jesus also blessed a prostitute harlot named Rahab who repented and feared God while she blessed the spies from Israel. Rahab (a former prostitute) was blessed by Jesus to survive in Jericho and become the great grandparent to Jesus listed in Jesus' geneology in Matthew 1. Usually when you see the name Rahab in the bible it says Rahab the harlot. But when Rahab is connected to Jesus at Matthew 1:5, Rahab is no longer called a harlot (just Rachab or Rahab). Like Rahab, when anyone comes to Jesus, Jesus will remember your sin no more (Jeremiah 31:34).

Jesus Refuses None

6) Even Good Religious People Who Try Not To Sin Need To Receive Jesus

     Even good religious people who try not to sin need to receive Jesus. Nicodemus was a good religious person who did not lie, steal, drink, or cheat. But Nicodemus needed to accept Jesus as Lord to get saved. Good works could not save Nicodemus. Jesus did not refuse Nicodemus but offered him salvation saying at John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Like Nicodemus, Jesus tells all good religious people, Ye must be born again and won't refuse to offer them salvation if they repent, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     Man's good works can not save him. Isaiah 64:6 says But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, and we all do fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Psalm 39:5 says Behold thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee; Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. Even the best of men on this earth sin and need to accept Jesus for salvation. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith (in Jesus alone); and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast. 

Jesus Refuses None

Don't Allow Guilt About Past Sins Stop You From Receiving Jesus

     Don't allow guilt about past sins stop you from receiving Jesus. Jesus refuses none. Psalm 51:17 says The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. In other words Jesus will not refuse or reject anyone who is contrite (which means repents of their past sins). Come to Jesus right now and Jesus will forgive you and receive you. 1 John 1:9 promises If we confess our sins, He (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Remember the blessed quote from Corrie Ten Boom above that says God buries our sins in the depths of the sea and then puts up a sign that reads, "No fishing." Micah 7:18-19 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. 

     I have enjoyed writing this bible study today where Jesus refuses none that I pray in Jesus name blesses multitudes all over this earth with great peace, joy, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Rejoicing And Praising Jesus Creates The Peaceful Presence Of Jesus

     Choose to rejoice and praise Jesus. To receive Jesus' peaceful presence, daily thank Jesus for dying on the cross for you and giving you a place to remove your problems. 1 Peter 5:7 says Casting all your care upon Him (Jesus); for He careth for you. Remember the cross with Jesus that destroys all our problems daily (Hebrews 2:14), and the blood of Jesus that defeats the devil (Revelation 12:11) is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8). Daily say Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ and say Isaiah 53:5 by Jesus' stripes I am healed. Whatever you need ask in the name of Jesus believing and you will receive your request. Psalm 100:4 says Enter into His (Jesus') gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise, be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. 1 Thessalonians 5:16 says to Rejoice evermore because Nehemiah 8:10 says the joy of the Lord is your strength. 

     1 Thessalonians 5:18 says In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. According to Psalm 22:3 God inhabitest the praises of Israel. And when you praise Jesus for dying on the cross for you and removing your sins, you will receive Jesus and His peace that passeth all understanding. Jesus told us at John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nether let it be afraid. 

     Choose to rejoice and praise Jesus like Paul and Silas to overcome this troubled world. Don't endure serving Jesus as an obligation but enjoy serving Jesus as a privilege. Paul and Silas chose to rejoice and praise Jesus in a jail cell at midnight. Acts 16:25 says And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God and the prisoners heard them. Paul and Silas' rejoicing with praise while suffering at midnight created an earthquake that opened the prison doors and loosed the prisoners' bands. In other words (rejoicing, release, restraining, and regeneration occurred because of praise); 1) Paul and Silas were rejoicing at midnight 2) Where an earthquake released the prisoners 3) Who were restrained by the power of the Holy Ghost 4) That led to the glorious regeneration and salvation of the jailer.

Some thank the Lord for friends and home; For mercies sure and sweet

But I would praise Him for His grace; In prayer I would repeat

Thank you Lord for saving my soul; Thank you Lord for making me whole

Thank you Lord for giving to me; Thy great salvation so rich and free

Some thank Him for the flowers that grow; Some for the stars that shine

My heart is filled with joy and praise; Because I know He's mine

I trust in Him from day to day; I prove His saving grace

I'll sing this song of praise to Him; Until I see His face

Rejoicing  And Praising Jesus Gives You Daily Benefits

     Rejoicing and praising Jesus gives you daily benefits. Psalm 68:19 says Blessed be the Lord who daily loadeth us with benefits; even the God of our salvation; Selah. Don't forget the daily benefits you receive while you praise the Lord Jesus listed in Psalm 103. Don't be like the absent minded professor who was forgetful; He would wind up his cat and put out his clock. Unfortunately most people remember what they ought to forget and forget what they ought to remember. People forget 3/4 of a bible verse in 3 minutes but they'll remember a preacher's fault for 50 years. 

     Instead remember and say the blessed daily benefits received from Psalm 103 while you praise Jesus; Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: (Note these next 6 daily benefits that you should say daily) Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth (surrounds) thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles; the Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

     Have an attitude of gratitude. Resist the devil daily, but don't rejoice that the devil flees when you resist him after submitting to Jesus. James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Instead rejoice because your names are written in heaven after salvation. Luke 10:20 says Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Right now get saved and receive strength and the joy of salvation where the blood of Jesus will wash you clean and remove your guilty sins; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.

Rejoicing With A Merry Heart Doeth Good Like A Medicine

     It's good to rejoice and laugh with a merry heart that doeth good like a medicine. Proverbs 17:22 says A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Proverbs 15:13 says A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. 

     Here's some classic stories and one liners that I pray in Jesus name make you smile and laugh while they heal you like a medicine. The Lone Ranger told Tonto, Hey Tonto look we're surrounded by Indians. Tonto replied What you mean we white man. They asked a man, Do you believe in flying saucers? The man replied I've been married 40 years. What do you think? How do you make holy water? Boil the hell out of it. What do you call a sleepwalking nun? She's a Roamin' Catholic.

     Here's some more classic stories to make you smile and laugh while they heal you like a medicine. Five hillbilllies went into the forest looking for a christmas tree. They looked all day long and couldn't find one. Finally, they all agreed that the next tree that they found, whether it's got lights on it or not, we'll cut it down and take it to the house (wow they looked all day long for a tree in the forest with lights and couldn't find one). Two blondes were sitting on a bench. One blonde said What's farther away? Florida or the moon? The other blonde replied Florida. You can see the moon stupid.

Remember Laughter And Rejoicing Doeth Good Like A Medicine

     We all know that a country preacher's favorite food is chicken

A preacher's belt aint nothing but a fence around a chicken's graveyard

     One time an elderly preacher lost his dentures (false teeth) down a well. He asked his preacher friends to figure out a way to get his teeth out of the well. One preacher decided to tie a chicken on a string and lower the chicken down into the well. It worked because the false teeth bit the chicken and the preachers pulled the teeth out of the well. The reason preachers rejoice and like chicken so much is because God gave us 8000 taste buds in our mouth so we could enjoy food. 

     How about these classics to make you laugh and heal you like a medicine. What should you do when everyone in the church is sleeping? Somebody ought to wake up the preacher. The preacher told a man sitting by his sleeping friend, Wake him up. The man yelled back at the preacher, You put him to sleep. You wake him up. While a preacher was preaching a boring sermon, someone in the balcony yelled out Hey man speak up a tad so we can hear you. Then he said A little louder I need to hear you. Finally a man on the front row yelled to the man in the balcony, Hey man Thank God you can't hear him. Sit down and be quiet. There was a preacher that thought more about money than people's salvation. He said some peoples say that the love of money is the root of all evil. But I says that the lack of money is the root of all evil; Send it to me and I'll set you free.

     Well I thought of another classic story: Two crazy men were in a nut house; The first man was shining a flashlight up to the cieling; The second man said What are you doing with that flashlight? The first man replied You see that beam of light; I'll bet you $10 that you can't climb up that beam of light. The second man said I'm not crazy. No way. Before I got halfway up there you turned it off.

    And here's another classic story: At the Vatican when they elect a new pope they wait for white smoke to come out of a chimney. Black smoke means no pope. A pastor watching the news for the white smoke and the new pope replied We had white smoke coming out of our church; It was a deacon smoking a cigarette in the back of the church and no one elected a new pastor. I aint waiting for a cardinal to blow some white smoke out of a chimney and find a pope. I'm waiting for the Lord Jesus to blow a shout from heaven and get caught up in the clouds to find a Saviour the Lord Jesus in peace forever. Here's a classic: What did the buffalo say to his son when he left home to walk to school? Bye son (Bison).

     Here's some classic church stories: While a preacher was holding a weekly revival by a brick factory, each day the preacher would yell Open them doors, open them wide, let the sinners come inside. A worker at the brick factory said if that preacher says that again, I'm gonna throw a brick at the church. When the preacher again said Open them doors, open them wide, let the sinners come inside, the worker tossed the brick at the church and the preacher immediately said Close them doors, close them quick, some dumb sinner done tossed a brick. When a man entered another church that was passing snakes around, the man asked the pastor Where's the back door? The pastor replied There aint one. The man then said Well, Where do you want one? When another man entered the same church that was passing snakes around a circle, when it was his turn to hold the snake he said Shun didi de, Shun didi dy, I don't know about you, pass that stupid thing on by. 

     I might as well add this one about Eutychus in the bible who fell asleep while Paul preached a three hour sermon and fell out of a window and was raised from the dead at Acts 20:9. The moral of this story is If you fall asleep in church you'll be dead in no time. And the reason the man's name was Eutychus was because You'd have cussed too if you had to listen to a three hour sermon. 

     Here's some more classic sayings to make you smile and bless Jesus. We have to believe by faith that the Father, Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit are one. The bible says it's a mystery that can not be figured out with your mind. One must believe by faith with their heart like a little child that Jesus is God and one with the Holy Spirit to get saved. 1 Timothy 3:16 says And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; God (Jesus) was manifest in the flesh. In other words, it's a mystery that Jesus is God that must be accepted by faith that can not be understood by the mind. Hebrews 11:6 says But without faith it is impossible to please Him (Jesus); for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 

     When people say I can't believe that a man Jesus could be God because it doesn't make sense, give them the following examples. I can't understand how a black or brown cow can eat green grass and make white milk and yellow butter; But I'm still gonna put milk on my cereal and put butter on my toast for breakfast. I can't understand how electricity works, but I'm gonna believe it by faith; I'm not gonna sit in the dark and I'm not gonna stick my finger in a light socket to see if it works.

When You Feel Like Quitting, Keep Rejoicing And Praising Jesus Anyway

     Be like Jeremiah and when you feel like quitting, keep praising Jesus anyway. Jeremiah 20:9 says Then I (Jeremiah) said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more in His name. But his Word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. Like Jeremiah keep rejoicing while you preach Jesus everywhere counting it all joy when you are persecuted for serving Jesus. They're gonna talk about you anyway; Give them something good to talk about and leap for joy at church or the nearest Walmart bathroom; Give the people a Forrest Gump and keep running for Jesus. 

     Be like Bartimaeus and keep praising Jesus even when people around you tell you to hold your peace. There are different forms of communication; We have telephone, teletype, telecommunication; But the fastest method of communication is tell a christian. Don't worry about what people say when you praise Jesus. Always keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people. If you keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people, Jesus will send people to bless you. Since Bartimaeus kept his eyes on Jesus and off the people, the people that told him to hold his peace began to praise Jesus after Bartimaeus got healed (Luke 18:35-43).

Rejoice About God's Grace And Mercy

Grace is when God gives us what we don't deserve

Mercy is when God doesn't give us what we do deserve

     Rejoice about God's grace and mercy. Rejoice about Psalm 103:8 that says The Lord is merciful and gracious; slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. I'm not demanding justice and my rights from God like the lost sinners in this world. If I exercised my rights and demanded justice from God to give me what I deserve, I'd be in hell. Everyone without Jesus is a guilty sinner headed for hell. Instead I want mercy from God that anyone can receive by faith in Jesus and His shed blood at the cross of Calvary that removes sins. Right now rejoice and say Psalm 103:10 He (Jesus) hath not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Rejoice and praise Jesus while you say Hebrews 8:12 For I (Jesus) will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Rejoice About How The Mercy Of God Is Measured

     Rejoice about how the mercy of God is measured. Psalm 103:11 says For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. First let's look at the height of God's mercy to lost sinners. The hubble telescope has viewed billions of stars above us that are 200 million light years away (note that a light year is 5.9 trillion miles). It has also viewed galaxies 50 million miles away. But to find out the height of God's mercy to lost sinners, one must travel above the stars and galaxies to God's mercy seat.

     Jesus showed us the height of God's mercy when He traveled from the throne room of heaven and came down past the stars and galaxies to this earth. Jesus became a man and died for our sins on a cross. Then Jesus took His own blood that He shed at the cross all the way back to heaven past the stars and galaxies and put His own blood on God's mercy seat so we all could have mercy and get our sins removed forever. 

     Psalm 103:12 also measures the mercy of God. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He (Jesus) removed our transgressions from us. Notice that the bible does not say that God's mercy is measured from the north to the south. This is because there are end points at the North and South Poles on this earth. But there are no end points to the east or to the west. 

     When you go east, you go east with no end; When you go west, you go west with no end. God has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west where they can never be found. One day the devil went east looking for our sins and kept walking east and couldn't find our sins; Then the devil went west looking for our sins and kept walking west and couldn't find our sins. And the devil will never find christians' past, present, or future sins because Jesus removed them as far as the east is from the west. To sum it all up: God's mercy is infinite with Jesus vertically from the earth to God's mercy seat and horizontally from the east to the west.

     The way to overcome the world is with Jesus. The only requirement from God to overcome the world is to get saved where Jesus is your Lord. The bible tells us that when anyone gets saved with Jesus they overcome the world. 1 John 5:4-5 says For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? Notice how God emphasizes and repeats three times the words "overcometh the world" that is done by faith in Jesus.

     You don't have to do extra good works to be an overcomer; Just salvation with Jesus will overcome this troubled world. Not the blood of Jesus plus works, wafers, or water; Just the blood of Jesus plus nothing saves. Right now get saved with Jesus and become an overcomer; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     Jesus told us how to overcome the troubled world at John 16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace; in the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. Notice that Jesus said in me (not in you) will you have peace to overcome the the world. When anyone gets saved and is in Christ, they become a new creature and an overcomer of the world. 

     2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. When you are saved with Jesus you are an overcomer no matter what happens around you. Saved christians are overcomers not going to hell, getting a new glorified body with the promise to enter the new heavens and new earth to see Jesus and our loved ones in peace forever. 

How To Overcome The World

We Overcome The World With Jesus And Not Ourselves

     We overcome the world with Jesus and not ourselves. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. You don't have to work to get victory over the world; After salvation by faith, Jesus gives you victory over the world. Notice that it is not us (in our flesh) overcoming and getting the victory over this troubled world. It's Jesus overcoming through us to give us the victory over this troubled world. Philippians 4:13 promises I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 

     John encouraged us that with Jesus we will overcome the wicked one (the devil) and this troubled world. 1 John 2:13-14 says I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him (Jesus) that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the Word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. Notice that when you realize that with Jesus you overcome the devil, you will become strong. Isaiah 35:3 promises Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not; behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; He will come and save you. 

     Jesus overcame, destroyed, and defeated the devil when Jesus died on the cross of Calvary. Hebrews 2:14 says Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He (Jesus) also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death (on the cross) He might destroy Him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. When the devil challenges you to play his game in this troubled world, tell the devil that the game is over; The final scoreboard says the devil lost the game and was defeated when the Lord Jesus destroyed the devil at the cross of Calvary. We win with Jesus and overcome this world and the devil with Jesus' peace that passeth all understanding (Philippians 4:7). 

How To Overcome The World

With Jesus We Overcome The Devil And This World

     With Jesus we overcome the devil and this world. Remember that the most powerful weapon to defeat and overcome the devil is the blood of Jesus that is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8). Revelation 12:11 says And they (christians) overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Every day fight the good fight of faith, asking the angels to cover you with the blood of Jesus after they bind the devil and send him to the pit of hell. James 4:7 promises Submit yourselves therefore to God; Resist the devil and he will flee from you (notice that with Jesus we don't run from the devil; instead the devil flees from us). Proverbs 28:1 says The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion. 

     John told us at 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them (the devil and the world); because greater is He (Jesus) that is in you, than he (the devil) that is in the world. Jesus told us at Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Remember Paul told us at Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him (Jesus) that loved us. In other words with Jesus we will conquer and overcome this troubled world with its tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, and sword.

How To Overcome The World

Don't Be A Friend Of This World; Instead Live For Jesus Daily

     The next way to overcome the world is don't be a friend of this world; Instead live for Jesus daily. James 4:4 says Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 1 John 2:15 says Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. 

     Friends the world and christians are opposites. Christians are not citizens of this world; Christians are pilgrims and strangers on the earth according to Hebrews 11:13 with their citizenship in heaven. Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation (defined as citizenship) is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Like Jesus, christians tell the world from John 8:23 Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 

     By faith according Ephesians 2:6 Jesus hath raised christians up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Saved folk can sing This world is not my home; I'm just a passing through; My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue; The angels beckon me from heaven's open door; And I can't feel at home in this world any more. Remember you can't have one foot in the world and the other foot with Jesus. Matthew 6:24 says No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other; Ye cannot serve God and mammon. In other words there is no dual citizenship with Jesus and the world. 

How To Overcome The World

Like The Jews, Choose To Serve The Lamb Jesus Instead Of The World (Egypt)

     Like the Jews, choose to serve the Lamb Jesus instead of the world (Egypt defined as double straits or double trouble from the world). Remember you can't have one foot in Canaan's promised land with Jesus and the other foot in Egypt with the world. After God used the blood of the Lamb Jesus to save the Jews in Egypt, God took the Jews out of Egypt that is a type of the troubled world. Like the Jews, after anyone gets saved by the blood of Jesus, God takes them out of Egypt and this troubled world. 

     God said that there is a difference between Egypt (the world) and Israel. Exodus 11:7 says But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast; that ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. Like the Jews, after salvation with Jesus, there is a difference between the world and the christians. God says for christians to come out from the world and be ye separate. 2 Corinthians 6:17 says Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you. In other words, Whom God saves, God separates. Like Moses, Brother Bob says to anyone reading this Exodus 32:26 Who is on the Lord's side? Let him come unto Jesus and leave this troubled world.

     Joshua spoke about choosing Jesus instead of this troubled world at Joshua 24:15 that says And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; Whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Like Elijah, Brother Bob says 1 Kings 18:21 How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him; but if Baal (a type of the world), then follow him. Let's all obey Romans 12:1 that says I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service; And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

Rewards For Overcomers With Jesus

Listed At Revelation Chapters Two And Three

     There are rewards for overcomers with Jesus listed at Revelation Chapters Two and Three. Anyone that hears, reads, and keeps the book of Revelation will get blessed; Revelation 1:3 says Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand. There are rewards for overcomers from the 7 churches in the book of Revelation (Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea).

     The first reward for overcomers is listed at Revelation 2:7 that says To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. In other words, saved christians will be rewarded to eat of the tree of life and live forever with eternal life stated at Genesis 3:22. The second reward for overcomers is listed at Revelation 2:11 that says He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. The second death is being cast into the lake of fire to be tormented forever. In other words, if you are saved with Jesus, you are not going to the lake of fire.

     The third reward for overcomers is listed at Revelation 2:17 that says To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna and will give him a white stone and in the stone a new name written which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. The hidden manna is in the ark of the Lord in the most holy place. Saved christians now have access to this hidden manna because when Jesus died on the cross, the veil that denied access to the hidden manna in the most holy place was rent. Now christians can enter the most holy place and eat of the hidden manna that is the bread of life Jesus. In other words christians will be blessed and feed on Jesus for eternity. 

     When christians receive their white stone, Jesus will tell them that they are not guilty and washed white as snow by the blood of Jesus. No charges for sins will be remembered for christians. Christians will rejoice in heaven saying John 8:36 If the Son (Jesus) therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. All christians will proclaim Romans 8:33 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Finally all christians will get a new name like the great men of the bible (Abram's name was changed to Abraham, Simon's name was changed to Peter, Saul's name was changed to Paul, and Jacob's name was changed to Israel). 

     The fourth reward for overcomers is listed at Revelation 2:26 that says And he that overcometh and keepeth my works until the end, to him will I give power over the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers; even as I received of my Father; And I will give him the morning star. Christians will receive this fourth reward to rule and reign over the nations as kings and priests with Jesus during the thousand year millenium on this earth. Revelation 1:6 tells us that Jesus has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. According to Revelation 22:16, the bright morning star christians receive is Jesus. Note that the KJV bible at Isaiah 14:12 correctly calls the devil the son of the morning (not the morning star erroneously stated by the corrupt NIV bible version).

     The fifth reward for overcomers is listed at Revelation 3:5 that says He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before His angels. How comforting that because christians overcome with Jesus, they will not have their names blotted out of the book of life and not be cast into the lake of fire at the great white throne judgment. The white raiment that will clothe christians is white fine linen that is the righteousness of the saints. Revelation 19:8 says And to her (the bride church) was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

     The sixth reward for overcomers is listed at Revelation 3:12 that says Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and I will write upon him my new name. In other words, christians will be identified with Jesus and be pillars in the temple of my God with God's name, new Jerusalem's name, and Jesus' new name. What a joy it will be to learn Jesus' new name.

     The seventh reward for overcomers is listed at Revelation 3:21 that says To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne. How encouraging that with Jesus christians are royalty according to Revelation 1:6 and kings and priests ruling and reigning with Jesus forever. To Him (Jesus) be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 

     The eighth reward for overcomers is listed at Revelation 21:7 that says He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Christians inherit this overcoming reward as joint heirs with Jesus stated at Romans 8:17 that says And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
