"And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of the only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14."But even as you abound in everything - in faith, and in Word, and in knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love in us - that you should abound in His grace." 2 Cor 8:7."And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that in everything, always having all self-sufficiency you may abound to every good work." 2 Cor 9:8."Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and we may find grace for help in the time of need." Heb 4:16."But working together, we also call on you, not to receive the grace of God in vain." 2 Cor 6:1."How much worse punishment do you think he will be thought worthy to receive having trampled on the Son of God, and having counted the blood of the Covenant in which He was sanctified common, and having insulted the Spirit of Grace." Heb 10:29."Beloved, when I gave diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, beloved, it was needful to write unto you, and exhort you that we should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints. For certain men crept in secretly, those who have been of old marked out to condemnation, ungodly ones perverting the grace of God for unbridled lust, and denying the only Master, God, even our Lord Jesus Christ." Jude 3,4."What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin ("Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness" - 1 John 3:4) that grace may abound? Let it not be! We who died to sin, how shall we live in it?" Rom 6:1."And everyone having this hope on Him purifies himself even as that One is pure. Everyone practicing sin is also practicing lawlessness and sin is lawlessness. And ye know that He was revealed to bear our sins; and sin is not in Him.Everyone remaining in Him (walks in His Spirit) does not sin. Everyone sinning has not seen Him nor known Him. Matt 7:21-23.Little children, let no one lead you astray, the one practicing righteousness is righteous, even as that One is righteous. The one practicing sin is of the Devil; because the Devil sins from the beginning. For this the Son of God was revealed, that He might undo the works of the Devil. Everyone begotten of God does not sin, because His seed abides in him, and he is not able to sin, because he is born of God.By this the children of God and the children of the Devil are revealed: Everyone not practicing righteousness is not of God; also the one not loving the brother. Because this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, not as Cain was of the evil one, and killed his brother. And for what did he kill him? Because his works were evil, but the things of his brother were righteous.Do not marvel, my brothers if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brothers. The one not loving the brother remains in death. Everyone hating the brother is a murderer, and you know that every murderer does not have everlasting life abiding in him.By this we have known the love of God, because the One laid down His soul for us: and on behalf of the brothers we ought to lay down our souls. Whoever has the means of life of the world, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 1 John 3. (This entire message is from the Greek)"Blessed are the ones doing His commands, that their authority will be over the tree of life, and by the gates they may enter into the city." Rev 22:14.

God is a Spirit (John 4:23-24)
There is one Spirit (Eph.4:4-5)

"I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications" (Zech. 12:10)

"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:4)


Some people claim they have received the Spirit of grace without the supplications.

" Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he (Jesus) has shed forth this, which you now see and hear ... the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." (Acts 2:33, 39)


- That means you and me, doesn't it?

Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee (Nicodemus), Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God...Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of The Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN." John 3:3-7.

All you need to do is ask the Lord to come into your heart, and you will have eternal life.

Did the Lord tell you that He went into everyones heart that asked Him to do so?

Yes or No?

Did the Lord tell you that once He went into someone's heart...that He always stayed there?

Yes or No?

The Lord told me to ask you these questions?

Do you believe that?

Yes or No?

It is Scripture in John 3, Jesus said, that, you must be born again to enter into His kingdom. John 3:3-7. All it takes is to ask the Lord to enter into your heart, and you will have eternal life.

So the Lord did not tell you this. You are repeating what someone else told you.

Is this correct what I have just posted?

Yes or No?

But, we must keep the Ten Commandments:

Jesus said, "Not every one that SAITH unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH the will of My Father which is in heaven.

MANY will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? And in Thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity." (lawlessness) Matt 7:21-23.

The Apostle John wrote this, "AND HEREBY WE DO KNOW THAT WE KNOW HIM, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a LIAR and the Truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His Word in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby we do know that we are in Him." 1 John 2:3-5.

The Apostle John wrote this, "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have RIGHT to the tree of life, AND MAY ENTER IN through the gates into the city." Rev 22:14. He makes a connection between keeping His commandments and having eternal life.
