Reader.

If you are born again, then What you need to do is one thing very soon.

You need to strip all your theology out of your head, and get all commentaries and put them away.

And then you go into a private room, get on your knees if possible, and you say this to God..... from your Heart.


Father,

From this day forward, till my dying breath, i will teach only your Cross and Your Son on it, as the ONLY WAY to Heaven.
I will never again deny your Son's Cross by teaching that Salvation can be gained by anything but Jesus on the Cross.
I wil never again insult your Cross of Christ by teaching that Your Salvation can be lost.

Father, from this day, till my last day, till i meet Jesus..... i will preach, teach, and love with all my heart your Cross of Christ and i will only share this with all people as their SALVATiON.
Not commandments, not water, not works, not self.... effort.
I will only teach, preach, and adore Jesus on The Cross, as Your Eternal SALVATiON.

I promise you that Father God.

In Jesus name i pray,

Amen.



Reader... see what you just read.? That is your Call to this verse...... 2 Corinthians 5:19

If you make that life commitment to God, on behalf of the Cross of Christ, then you will be just like this one.., who told you..

"be tho (you) a follower of me, as i follow Christ"...

This is Paul.

Find Him here..

Read..... and may God bless you as you make this LIFE commitment.

Father,

From this day forward, till my dying breath

No thanks!

I’ll take the Lord’s Prayer:

“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:9-13)

The Prayer you posted is a blessing for yourself.
The Prayer I posted is a call to service.
You made the right choice for yourself.
I understand.

It's those who do will of God. Mark 3:35. For who so ever shall do will of God, the same is My brother, and My sister, and mother. Lip service won't cut it. Obedience and action. How can Jesus use some one who is biblically illiterate. Jesus needs labourers to plant seeds for God. Try driving a car with no gasoline. How far will you go??. Luke 9:59. And He said unto another, Follow Me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. People today have excuses why not to serve God. Or they're too mired in the ways of the world. God can't use them. Thier spirtualty dead. Would you allow a apprentice plumber to do complicated job in your home. Think it over??. 9:61. And another said, Lord, I will follow thee; but first let me first go bid farewell, which are at home at my house. 9:62. And Jesus said, No, man, having put his hand to the plough, and looks back, is fit for kingdom of God. Friends. those who wont take up their own cross daily and follow Jesus, are not worthy of kingdom of God. Playing church won't cut it. Jesus needs workman who study the bible and plant seeds for God. Someone who is biblically illiterate is of no use to Jesus. Do you think Jesus will trust lazy servant to hold office during millennium. I don't think so. Its those who do will of God. Lip service won't cut it.
