Theology Question?

Can you be saved from your own sin? Sounds like a crazy question? If I were running a Bible school this would be a test question on an exam! The answer would be a yes or no! Then I would ask the students to explain their answers! Why cannot Satan be saved? Because he is the author of all sin! All our sin is about listening to his voice! We are not the original owners! The sin within us is not our own! However if we do not repent of it then we own it as our own and we spend an eternity separated from God! If we actually take possession of Satan’s sin within our own soul then there is no room for repentance! If repentance is not executed and we stay in the sin state too long then judgment is sure! If we are to disown our sin then we repent of it and acknowledge the power of Christ who took our sin upon himself who had no sin to deliver us from the original sin! If our sin were original and we were the owners of all sin no we could not be delivered from it! We would be in the same lot as Satan and those who reject Christ of Satan’s original sin living in them!  To reject Christ is to endorse Satan! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Super Bowl Qustion?

The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl again! They have done this more than any other team in the NFL! Now if we could duplicate this team into another team exactly alike with the same players at every position my question is who would win this Super Bowl game? This would be the Super Bowl of Super Bowls! So what would be the final score? You say it would be a tie? No according to the rules or the law of the game it would go into overtime until there was a winner! So here is my point! The outcome of the game all things equal would be determined by law! If the same two teams broke the law during the game they would be penalized! It could be a 5 yard or 10 or 15 yard penalty of a team or a player could be ejected from the game or fined or both! Our outcome in life is determined by law! In fact living in countries that have no laws are the most dangerous places to live on earth! Then if our laws are not enforced great danger comes to our nation! If I murder someone and the death penalty is not rendered to me then others are encouraged to murder also! This is why God gave us the Law way back in the Book of Exodus some five thousand years ago! Our judgment or acquittal is based upon law! So why is this important to me today? Because the penalty of sin is death! We all physically die because we have all broken the law! However the eternal penalty of separation from God can be changed if we receive Salvation given to us by His Son Jesus Christ done on a Cross some two thousand years ago! God paid the penalty for our sin! If you reject this gift from God then you pay your own penalty! Think about this? If you were a Denver Bronco fan at Denver watching the Patriots play your team and the Patriots broke the law but the Broncos were given the penalty what would you do? You would riot in the stands with the rest of the Bronco fans! Yet on Good Friday when they put Jesus on the Cross for our sin yet he was innocent the crowd shouted Crucify Him! This great injustice was endorsed by the crowd and carried out! We all put Jesus on the Cross! Jesus took your just penalty for your sin upon himself so that you would be free from the law of sin and death! It does not get any better than this! That is if you receive his gift made on your behalf! His life for yours! What fool would reject this? Happy Easter! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Choosing Good or Evil! Isaiah 56:2

Hebrew Translation: Blessed, happy and successful is the man that works, labors, toils and the son of man that layeth hold unto it; that keeps, watches and guards the Holy Sabbath, the 7th day of the week, on the same day God rested from His Creation and ceased from work. Keeping from polluting it or making it common and committing violence against God’s established law. Also keeping his hand of authority and responsibility from doing evil. Comment: The choice should be easy and obvious but it is not! The first day of the week is Sunday! Not Monday! In early America you could not find a business open on Sunday! If you are trusting in your own works then Sunday is just another work day for you! A chance to make more money! Then you believe the time you have is not a gift from God but belongs to you! All of it! This is an ownership question! No faith in God causes people to trust themselves and their own efforts! God rested on the 7th day so are we greater than God? Do you believe God is looking after you? Then show it! Pressures build as you try to carry the load by yourself! Your health is affected! Do not make Sunday just another day in the week! Do you follow God and His example or do you make up your own rules? I am almost 70 years old and have been walking with Christ for 44 years! The peace, joy and prosperity is beyond measure! I have been retired for 22 years! I have never been a slave to work but God works for me! May seem a prideful statement but not really! I do what I can do but understand I can do nothing without Him! My efforts are futile unless God Blesses my efforts! When I cease from my own labor and rest in Christ each Sunday I leave the results to God! Whether the experiences seem good or not my trust is in the Lord! When I tithe and make offerings each Sunday I am giving back to God what He has already given me! I watch for the Sabbath! I guard the Sabbath! Sorry sir I cannot work on Sunday! We will fire you! So be it! God will provide another job! I prepare for the Sabbath! My soul, mind and body prepare for it! Then I rest in Christ and he renews my soul, mind and body! My thoughts are continually on Him! My expectation is from Him! My reward is in Him! My joy comes from Him! My peace from Him and the relationship to Him! My eternity is framed by Him! His promises are mine! You can please God by making the right choice! Then your remaining choices for the rest of your life will be easy! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Where is the Kingdom? Luke 17:20-21

The religious folks the Pharisees asked Jesus when the Kingdom should come? I wish Jesus had said, “Da! You big idiots! I am God and I am with you right now!” However Jesus was polite not like me and told them the Kingdom of God does not come by observation! That is you cannot observe Him with your eyes! No man can look on God and live! Remember Fanny Crosby the Queen of Gospel Music? She was blind! Then Jesus dropped the bomb shell on them! He told them the Kingdom of God was within them! The religious folk over history have always presumed that since God lived outside of us we must worship Him outside of ourselves! Build monuments to Him! Statues and figures of wood and stone! Build Temples so the poor homeless guy has a place to dwell. Fill it with gold and silver! The bigger the Temple the more impressed God should be! Right? If we can just do enough works for Him! Jesus made things so simple yet missed by most? Who can worship God better than God living inside of you? He knows just how to do it! The songs that speak to us and the sermons that change us are powered by the God that lives inside of us! It is not about us but about Him! Sin is the only thing that keeps God out! Confess your sin to Him and let the Blood of Jesus cleanse you and then the door will be opened for Him to come and dwell in you! There is nothing greater than God living in you!

Are You The One? Mark 14:61-62

I believe every generation born asks this question sooner or later! Caiaphas the High Priest asked Jesus this question! After Judas betrayed Jesus the Jews apprehended Jesus and a mock trial was held! Jesus was a threat to the religious leaders of Israel as He is to the religious system today! The religious leaders raised up false accusers against Jesus to nail Him! However the false witnesses could not agree with their testimonies! Why was Jesus such a threat? They had their long robes and long prayers but Jesus at the snap of His fingers raised the dead, healed the blind and the lame, walked on water and cast out demons! So Caiaphas had to ask the question that he dreaded to ask and inside knew this was probably the guy! Jesus are you the Christ the Son of the Blessed? What was he really asking? Let us break these words down one Greek word at a time! Christ means the anointed one! That is He was covered with the Glory of God! The word son used here, “Hulos”, is a specific word reserved for the Son of God as opposed to the generic word used meaning the offspring of parents! The word Blessed is reserved for God who is worthy of praise! Humans can be favored by circumstances however these circumstances can change and usually will over time! God is the creator of all and we are the recipients of His love! Jesus replied to his question with an affirmative yes and added more as we see in verse 62. Caiaphas then accused Jesus of blasphemy and Jesus persecution and execution followed! Suffering can come because of who you are! Good or bad! Jesus suffering was pre-planned by God! Jesus always referred to “His Father” except at the Cross! At the Cross Jesus said, “My God why have you forsaken me?” Have you ever felt forsaken? There are many benefits for following Jesus such as eternal life, peace, joy, love, long suffering, patience and the list goes on! Also remember many suffer today because of His name! Such as the Christians in the Middle East, Africa and places including America! It is not easy to suffer for who you are however Jesus suffered because of who we are! Sinners saved by Grace!
