JESUS is the WAY

 John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.

Do you believe in JESUS?

What makes JESUS the WAY?

What does "the way" mean?

Scripture makes things clear.

JESUS is the WAY back to GOD.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

JESUS is the WAY to the SPIRIT of GOD.

Matthew 3:11

King James Version

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. 

but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, 

whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: 

he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, 

and with fire:

JESUS is the WAY to ETERNAL LIFE.

John 3:16

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

JESUS is the WAY to SALVATION.

for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, 

whereby we must be saved.

JESUS is the WAY to see and know GOD.

ye should have known my Father also: 

and from henceforth ye know him, 

and have seen him.

King James Version

16 And without controversy 

great is the mystery of godliness: 

God was manifest in the flesh, 

justified in the Spirit, 

seen of angels, 

preached unto the Gentiles, 

believed on in the world, 

received up into glory.

JESUS is the WAY to TRUTH.

John 8:31-32

If ye continue in my word, 

then are ye my disciples indeed;

and the truth shall make you free.

JESUS is the WAY to GRACE.

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

JESUS is the WAY to FORGIVENESS.

he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, 

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

JESUS is the WAY to ALL knowledge.

King James Version

30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, 

and needest not that any man should ask thee: 

by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

JESUS is the WAY to PEACE.

John 16:33

King James Version

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.

JESUS is the WAY to LOVE.

John 13:34-35

King James Version

34 A new commandment I give unto you, 

That ye love one another; 

as I have loved you, 

that ye also love one another.

if ye have love one to another.

JESUS is the WAY God is GLORIFIED.

Jesus said, 

Now is the Son of man glorified,

I though the image cool.

That's like JESUS in the boat.

Upholding the three banners.

I'm right behind ya!

WHAT makes WOMEN sin?

 Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

This is not finger-pointing time.

No need to judge.

More a time to be awake.

And aware.

This is how the HOLY SPIRIT tasked me to look into Scripture:

2 Timothy 2:15

King James Version

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 

workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 

rightly dividing the word of truth.

Moments ago, SPIRIT and I wrote "CAPTIVE silly women".

I wanted to know how Scripture would define that.

So, I combed through the various Bible versions, making sure my understanding was precise.

After the WHO, Spirit led me into the WHAT:

What makes women sin?

Using the Bible versions, these phrases answered the WHAT:

led away with divers lusts

Now you know our potential for weakness.

It's time to get STRENGTH from JESUS.

As born again.

1 Peter 1:23

King James Version

23 Being born again, 

not of corruptible seed, 

but of incorruptible, 

by the word of God, 

which liveth and abideth for ever.

That we may be victorious in this spiritual battle.

With JESUS, we will have ALL the STRENGTH we need.

King James Version

13 I can do all things through Christ 

which strengtheneth me.

With SPIRIT, we will know right, from wrong.

INSIDIOUS soul destroyer

 

LIKE a CANCER cell:

Proverbs 14:30

King James Version

30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: 

but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Satan's ways are insidious.

His ways eat up into our soul.

Like a cancer cell, it worms its way in.

If we're not awake, and aware, he will destroy our soul.

That's why it's insidious.

He feeds on our ignorance.

He feeds on our wickedness.

He feeds on our pride.

He feeds on our vanity.

He feeds on our greed.

He feeds on our lust.

He feeds on our envy.

He feeds on unbelievers.

He feeds on our soul weakness.

That's why it seems undetectable.

Satan is an assassin.

A very jealous assassin.

How envious he is of JESUS.

Causing the LORD's death at the cross.

Not knowing GOD has a greater plan.

1 Corinthians 2:8

King James Version

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: 

for had they known it, 

they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But such is envy.

Eating up at your soul.

Blinding your thinking.

Boiling your blood.

Causing murder and mayhem.

Wanting what belongs to others.

Thinking up ways for revenge.

Expecting entitlement for yourself.

Scripture speaks of the deep source of war, in yourself.

And in others:

James 4:1-3

King James Version

4 From whence come wars and fightings among you? 

come they not hence, 

even of your lusts that war in your members?

2 Ye lust, and have not: 

ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: 

ye fight and war, 

yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

3 Ye ask, and receive not, 

because ye ask amiss, 

that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

How to conquer Satan, and envy?

James 4:7

King James Version

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. 

Resist the devil, 

and he will flee from you.
