Be free in CHRIST JESUS, be yourself, and be exactly who GOD called you to be in JESUS alone, because religion kills!
A MUST READ!~
Brothers and sisters, You cannot make yourself perfect, you cannot get yourself together, and you cannot make yourself righteous, because if you can, then everything you do is based off your own works, and not your faith in the already finished work of JESUS CHRIST!
Brothers and sisters, the word self-righteous is meant for people who try to make themselves righteous, and they deem themselves righteous according to themselves!
Brothers and sisters, you cannot try to establish your own righteousness, because if you do, then you have not submitted unto the righteousness of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS!
Brothers and sisters, righteousness has nothing to do with your flesh, and what you try to make your flesh stop doing, because righteousness is in your faith in CHRIST JESUS, and that alone makes you righteous in GOD’S sight!
Brothers and sisters, you cannot be like other religious folks in the religion of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Catholicism, or the Hebrew Israelite religion, because GOD has called you to be free in CHRIST JESUS, like JESUS is free!
Brothers and sisters, don’t let other religious people try to control your life with religion, religious lies, religious rules, and religious regulations, because they are in the bondage of religious fear!
Brothers and sisters, religious folks will try to control your life, judge your life, and condemn your life, the same way they tried to judge JESUS life, control JESUS life, and condemn JESUS life!
Brothers and sisters, the religious leaders of JESUS times persecuted JESUS for not washing his hands according to their religious traditions of men!……..lol~
They persecuted JESUS for working a miracle by healing a man on the Sabbath day!……lol~
They persecuted JESUS because he ate with sinners!………..lol~
They persecuted JESUS and his disciples for picking and eating grains of wheat on the Sabbath day!……..lol~
Brothers and sisters, the religious leaders of JESUS times eventually killed JESUS for not being religious like they were, because JESUS was the way, the truth, and the life, and religion tried it’s best to kill the truth!
(EPHESIANS 2:8) For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(ROMANS 10:3-4) For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes.
(GALATIANS 2:16-21) Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
(GALATIANS 3:1-14) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
(MATTHEW 15:1-11) Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
But JESUS answered and said unto them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death.
But you say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever you might be profited by me;
And honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have you made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
You hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
This people draws nigh unto me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.
(MARK 2:23-28) And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the Sabbath day that which is not lawful?
And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him?
How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath:
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
(LUKE 15:1-2) Then all tax collectors and sinners drew near unto JESUS for to hear him.
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and he eats with them.
(MATTHEW 9:10-13) And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with JESUS and his disciples.
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why your Master eat with tax collectors and sinners?
But when JESUS heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
But you go and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
(JOHN 5:16-18) And therefore did the Jews persecute JESUS, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
But JESUS answered them, My Father works hitherto, and I work.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Brothers and sisters, “be free in CHRIST JESUS, be yourself, and be who GOD called you to be in him alone, because all religion kills, and all religions are worthless when it comes to the truth, for religion is not the truth, and truth is not a religion, only JESUS is!~
(John 14:6-7) JESUS SAYS, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
(John 8:31-32) Then JESUS said to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Brothers and sisters, In this verse of scripture JESUS is not saying the truth will make you free, because truth by itself does not free anyone, for you must possess the knowledge of truth to truly be free!
For if you don’t know the truth, then how can you ever truly be free?
There is nothing worse than a slave who thinks he is free, because the slave who thinks he is free will surely persecute slaves who are trying to be truly free!
(John 8:36) JESUS SAYS, If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
Brothers and sisters, there is no freedom in religion, for men have used religion as a tool to enslave other men who are made in the exact image of almighty GOD, by the means of worthless religion!~
Men kill other men and nations of people over religion, and then impose their form of religion on a people or nation to control them through the means of worthless religion!~
The religious Jews of JESUS time persecuted JESUS, crucified JESUS, and eventually sought to kill JESUS over their religion, because religion is nothing more than a religious lie made to look like the truth, and it seeks to kill the truth, because the truth is a great threat to all religion!~
For there is no lies or religious lies of the absolute truth, for the truth is absolute!~
(1 John 2:21) I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
