THE CRUCIAL MESSAGE

Repent and get yourselves ready to enter the Kingdom. That is the crucial message! This is the motive for one’s ethical moral living. The motive is to become like the lord Messiah Jesus as we allow him to live his life through us by his spirit. We must obey the words that God – Yehovah gave to His son Jesus to give to us and do so to prepare ourselves to enter his soon-coming kingdom.

We anticipate the kingdom of God that will be brought about by His agency soon. I believe that we are very close to the end of this age. We need to prepare ourselves for the advent of the kingdom. God has placed His spirit and the spirit of the lord Messiah Jesus in us which is a down payment of what we will receive when we are resurrected as glorified immortal men and women to meet the lord Messiah Jesus in the clouds. We are to use this gift of His spirit and the spirit of His son Jesus to battle Satan and his angels and human agents.

Jesus has given us the means to prepare for entrance to the kingdom through the narrow gate by enabling us by his spirit to understand the beatitudes and parables. Jesus' entire ministry was centered on proclaiming the coming kingdom of God and how to prepare to enter that kingdom when it is instituted here on the earth.

Christendom does not seem to consider the message Jesus spent his entire ministry proclaiming as very important today. In fact, anyone who attends church services regularly should ask themselves when is the last time they have heard a sermon about the soon-coming kingdom of God. Probably never.

We can trust permanently in the love of God – Yehovah with good conscience only if we desire with all our heart, mind, being, and strength, to become members of the community of the kingdom of God that Jesus will establish when God – Yehovah sends him down to take his place on the throne of David at Zion, at the end of this age.

How do we know that we will be there? Jesus says: “Lo, I am with you to the end of this age.” IF we, enabled by his spirit, hold fast to serving him and obey the words his Father gave to him to give to us, we will be ready to enter the kingdom. Our God and Father Yehovah never ever asks us to do anything that He does not provide us with His enabling spirit to carry out His will. It is all of Him and all we must do is walk before Him in faith-obedience, which means to be totally committed to doing His will in our lives.

What is His will? To love Him with all our hearts, minds, beings, and strength and to love our neighbors as ourselves which we can only do with His enabling spirit working in us and through us. It is all of Him and nothing of us, and yet in His amazing grace and love when we carry out His will enabled to do so by His spirit, then He rewards us in amazing, wonderful ways! God – Yehovah is love, truly!

How was all this made possible?

Jesus regarded his death as a “sin-offering sacrifice” which would ransom the people from the second death that will take place at the White Throne Judgement. What must be done now is that Jesus has become a “sin-offering sacrifice”, who became sin for us, who knew no sin, thereby reconciling all mankind to his God and Father Yehovah. People who have come to realize that Jesus is the one whom God – Yehovah has sent for their salvation - deliverance and must repent and be baptized, thus becoming new creations in the lord Jesus. receiving the indwelling power of God’s spirit.

If people reject the one whom God – Yehovah has sent for their salvation - deliverance the result for them will be destruction in the Lake of Fire at the White Throne Judgement, experiencing the second death. Their names will not be found in the Book of Life.

What a motivation to strive to become one who believes in the one whom God – Yehovah has sent and obey all the words his God and Father Yehovah gave him to give to the world! If you follow the creed of the lord Messiah Jesus given in Mark 12:28-32 you will become a glorified immortal man/woman and co-rule with the Messiah over the nations during his 1,000-year rule, when he establishes the Theocratic World Government at Jerusalem.

Note: The creed of the lord Messiah Jesus is to love God – Yehovah with all your heart, mind, being, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself.

Now you have a job to do. Search the scriptures to see if what I have said is in fact true. There is an awesome future awaiting all those who come to believe in the one whom God – Yehovah has sent and obey his creed.
