Song About Jesus | "Emulate the Lord Jesus" | Jesus Christ Is My Beloved


I
Jesus completed God’s mission,
the redemption work of all man
by giving His cares to God’s will,
without selfish purpose or plans.
At the center He placed God’s plan.
To heavenly Father He prayed,
seeking heavenly Father’s will.
He would seek and He’d always pray.
If like Jesus you give all your cares to God
and turn your back to flesh,
God will trust you with vital tasks
to enable you to serve Him.

How Should We Welcome the Jesus Christ When He Knocks on the Door?

After believing in the Lord, brothers and sisters all like singing the song “The Beloved Is Urgently Knocking on the Door Outside”: “The Beloved is urgently knocking on the door outside. His locks are filled with the drops of the night dew. Come on, get up to open the door for Him; don’t let our beloved walk away. …” Every time we sing it, we are very moved inside, and it has a great impact on us. We all want to keep the beloved, and be the first one to hear His voice and welcome Him when He knocks on our door. It can be said that, we believers in the Lord are all longing for it. But what does it mean that the Lord knocks on the door? And how should we welcome Him when He knocks on our door?



  In the Age of Grace, when the Jesus Christ came to do the work of redemption, His deeds and His teachings spread all over Judea and His name also became well-known among the whole generation. For the people of that time, the Jesus Christ was knocking on their door when He preached the gospel everywhere with His disciples. The Lord Jesus said, “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). The Lord wanted people to repent and confess before Him, so that they were forgiven their sins and were redeemed from the condemnation and curse of the law. At that time, many Jewish people saw the wonders performed by the Jesus Christ as well as the authority and power of His words, such as feeding five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish after giving thanks, calming the wind and sea with one word, resurrecting Lazarus with just a word, and so on. As the Lord Jesus spoke, things were fulfilled and accomplished. His words are just like the words spoken by the Creator when He created the heavens and earth and all things; they equally hold the authority and power. Besides, the words said by the Lord Jesus to teach man and rebuke the Pharisees cannot be said by us mankind. His words all reveal God’s disposition and being, and show forth the authority and power of God. Actually, whatever the Lord said and did struck everyone to the core of his being. It can be said that the Jewish people of that time had already heard the Lord’s knocking.

"My Dream of the Heavenly Kingdom" (2) - How to Pursue in Order to Enter the Heavenly Kingdom


Most believers of the Lord feel that as long as we follow the words of the Lord, practice humility and patience, and follow Paul's example by sacrificing, expending and laboring for the Lord, we will satisfy the will of God. And we will be brought into the heavenly kingdom when the Lord returns. However, have we ever considered whether such a quest would really earn the Lord's praise and admission to the heavenly kingdom? If not, how should we pursue to earn the praise of the Lord and be brought into the heavenly kingdom?

Questions and Answers on Being Saved and Being Finally Saved (2)

Question 2: It is said in the Bible, “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifies. Who is he that condemns?” (Rom 8:33-34). This proves that the Lord Jesus’ crucifixion on the cross forgives us of all sin. The Lord doesn’t see us as sinners anymore. Who can accuse us now?

Eastern Lightning,Gospel,church,prayer,Christian

  Answer: “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?” Here, we must be very clear. Who, exactly, are members of God’s elect? Those frequent sinners, they who sell out the Lord and their friends, they who eat God’s sacrificial offerings, they who blaspheme, those corrupted, hypocritical Pharisees, are they God’s elect? If anyone that believes in God is part of God’s elect, then how do we explain what the prophecies say, “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves and makes a lie” (Rev 22:15). Therefore, not all people that believe in God are part of God’s elect. Only those who really serve the Lord and love God, those that bear witness to Him are part of God’s elect. People like Abraham, Job and Peter obey God and revere God. They were righteous people and witnesses. What they did obtained God’s grace. No one could control them. When did God say that all the faithful were righteous? The majority of people often sin, resist God and betray God. That is a fact. Lord Jesus never said the majority of believers were righteous. Therefore, the people God is talking about include the righteous people that can implement God’s will.

"Perilous Is the Road to the Heavenly Kingdom" (1) - Eastern Lightning Shakes the Religious World


Eastern Lightning—the appearance and work of God in the last days has rocked all sects and denominations, and all kinds of men have been revealed. Many good sheep in the church would prefer to suffer unbridled arrest and persecution by the Chinese Communist Party just to seek and investigate Eastern Lightning. Some people, however, believe the words of pastors and elders and persist in refusing to investigate Eastern Lightning, while others, though being fully aware that Eastern Lightning bears witness to the truth, do not dare to seek and investigate it out of fear of persecution by the Chinese Communist Party. Why are good sheep in the church able to investigate Eastern Lightning? Are those people who are unable to seek and investigate God's work in the last days able to enter the kingdom of heaven after all? This short video brings you inspiration.

Once Saved, We Can Always Be Saved: Is It True?

Bible,hymns,Judgment,worship,The Church of Almighty God
  
  By Emily

  The Lord Jesus’ redemptive work has spread to the ends of the earth, reached every home and become a household name, and it is also because of the Lord Jesus’ redemption that mankind has survived until today. There are many brothers and sisters who back up the viewpoint of “once saved, always saved,” with the words of the apostle Paul, “For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation” (Romans 10:10). They think: Since the Lord Jesus redeemed us through crucifixion, we have already been absolved of all our sins and saved by our faith, and once saved, we are always saved, and so long as we endure until the end, we will be directly raptured into the heavenly kingdom when the Lord returns. However, some other brothers and sisters can’t help but question: “Is it really so easy for us to be saved? Can we attain salvation and enter into the kingdom of heaven through faith alone?”

The Church of Almighty God,God’s work,God’s will,truth,salvation


I
The more you satisfy God,
the more your heart can turn to Him.
The more you pray,
the more you'll find His loveliness.
The more you satisfy Him,
the more He'll give His burden to you,
the more you'll love Him,
much more your heart will turn to Him.
When you reach the place
where you feel His loveliness,
then you can give Him praise
from down deep within your heart.
None can stop you singing
when you give Him praise within.
You'll feel His loveliness
when your heart turns towards Him.
Yeah, when your heart
turns towards Him.

Questions and Answers on Being Saved and Being Finally Saved (1)

Question 1: The Bible says, “For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation” (Rom 10:10). We have already been saved through our faith in Jesus. Once we’re saved, we’re eternally saved. When the Lord arrives we will definitely be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Bible,hymns,Judgment,worship,Eastern Lightning

  Answer: Once you’re saved, you’re forever saved and can enter the heavenly kingdom. This is just man’s conception. This is not at all in accordance with God’s words. Lord Jesus never said that people could enter the heavenly kingdom just by believing in the Lord. Lord Jesus said that only those who implement the heavenly father’s will can enter the heavenly kingdom. Only Lord Jesus’s words have authority and are the truth. Men’s conceptions are not the truth. They are not the standards by which one can enter the heavenly kingdom. The “salvation through faith” that we talk about, This “salvation” only refers to absolving sins, not being legally convicted or condemned to death. It doesn’t mean that the person who has been “saved” can implement God’s doctrine, has been freed from sin or has been cleansed. It definitely does not mean you can enter the heavenly kingdom. Although our faith can absolve us of sin, our sins still remain. We still may often sin and resist God. We live in a constant cycle of sinning, then acknowledging our sins. How can people like that enter the heavenly kingdom? “And holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Heb 12:14). If you say frequent sinners can enter the heavenly kingdom, that isn’t in line with the true nature of the heavenly kingdom. You dare say that those corrupted men, those frequent sinners, live in the heavenly kingdom? Have you ever sen a corrupt, evil person in the heavenly kingdom? The Lord is righteous and holy. Would the Lord allow frequent sinners to enter the heavenly kingdom? “Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever” (Jhn 8:34-35). Therefore, we can see that those who have not broken free of their evil sin and been cleansed will not be able to enter the heavenly kingdom. If what you say is true, and those who gain absolution through faith can enter the heavenly kingdom, then why did Lord Jesus say this, “Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven” Why did he say he would separate the goats from the sheep and the wheat from the tares? Therefore, “those who believe in the Lord will be absolved and allowed to enter the heavenly kingdom” cannot be true! That belief is directly contradicted by Lord Jesus’s words!
