Many in the church today have left Christ out!

John 14:6 tells us there is only one way to get to God! There’s only one truth! There’s only one life! The way, truth, and life is found only in Jesus Christ.

Joshua 7

John 10

Matthew 7:13-14 tells us to enter in at the Straight Gate for straight is the gate and narrow is the way.

Since there are false prophets in the world, we must always be careful of deception. The greatest danger of deception we will face is that of self-deception. The Scribes and Pharisees had fooled themselves into believing that they were righteous and that others were sinful. Like the Pharisees and Scribes, it is possible for people to know the right language (bible talk / churcheze), believe intellectually the right doctrines, obey the right rules, and still not be saved. There is a head knowledge and there is a heart knowledge. We will be discussing both.

Just like the three Hebrew children in this story you are faced daily with choices of whether or not you are going to bow down to the sins and idols in your life. Will you stand firm in your faith trusting that God will deliver you from whatever may be tempting you to turn from him? Will you bow down to those sins and idols?

There are two types of people in the Christian circle today. There are those who only talk the talk (having only a head knowledge, professing but never receiving) and the there are those who walk the walk (blood bought born again, receiving the power).

Scripture declares the all humanity has turned away from God, and must return to him. The term “repentance” if often used to refer to this process of returning to God and the inward and outward changes that it demands of people. Scripture also indicates that believers can wander away from God; they too must return to Him.

There is a literal hell and apart from the saving graces of God through the shed blood of Jesus Christ you will enter it for eternity.

There is one Gospel, one way, and one body! Today we look at 1 Corinthians 12.
