GOD'S WAY OF LIVING
Friends, there is a rule for living this life and its not man's way of living. There are people who may list things that they say are reasons or ways to live but, they are dead wrong. God gave the Law of living life to Moses, to write them down, however, this Law will not Save anyone but, will show you, your sins, there is no Salvation in this Law. Salvation to be Saved, did not come into play, until after Jesus Christ was Crucified at the Cross. What about the theives on the Cross? One thief went to hell, for rejecting Jesus Christ (whom God is, in human form). The other thief was Saved and went to Heaven, due to the fact that he has repented with Believing and having Faith in Jesus Christ. Those who have died before the death of Jesus Christ, some went to hell for unbelief and some went to Heaven for Believing in the Law of God.
Exodus 20: 1-17 CHAPTER 20 (1491 B.C.)
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
1 And God spoke all these words, saying (the Ten Commandments given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai are the foundation of all law, at least law that is righteous, for the entire world; it is the moral Law of God and, as such, cannot change), 2 I am the LORD your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage (the Lord doesn’t appeal to the Israelites as Creator, even though He definitely was that; He appealed to them as their Deliverer; as a result, He was to be obeyed by His people from a sentiment of love, not by fear). 3 You shall have no other gods before Me (the manner in which this First Commandment is given indicates that each individual of the nation is addressed severally, and is required personally to obey the Law, a mere general national obedience being insufficient; this Commandment requires the worship of one God Alone, Jehovah; it implies, in point of fact, that there is no other God). 4 You shall not make unto yourself any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth. 5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them who hate Me; 6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them who love Me, and keep My Commandments. (The prohibition intended here does not forbid the arts of sculpture, painting, photography, etc., or even to condemn the use of them, but to disallow the worship of God under material forms. Those who ignore this Commandment are guilty of the sin of idolatry. Also, many have tried to derive from Verse 5 that which they refer to as the “family curse”; however, let it be known and understood, every curse was addressed at the Cross of Calvary [Gal. 3:13-14]. As well, Jesus has perfectly kept all the Commandments, and all who trust Him, and what He did for us at the Cross, are participants of God’s gracious Mercy.) 7 You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in vain (taking the Name of the Lord in vain pertains to all blasphemy, all swearing, all perjury and, in fact, all irreverent use of God’s Name in ordinary life). 8 Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labour, and do all your work: 10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed hallowed it. (The seventh day was not so much to be a day of worship, as we think of such now, but rather a day of “rest.”Even the very beasts, pressed into man’s service since the Fall, shall rest. All were to observe this day. Everything pertaining to the Law of Moses, in some way, spoke of Christ. The “Sabbath”was no exception. It was meant to portray the fact that there is “rest”in Christ and, in fact, that there is rest “only in Christ”[Mat. 11:28-30]. So, when a person presently accepts Christ, they are in effect keeping the Sabbath, which of the “rest”that we have in Christ —rest from self-effort to attain unto Righteousness. Even though there was no written command by the Holy Spirit to do so, gradually we find Believers, during the time of the Early Church, as recorded in the Book of Acts, making Sunday, the first day of the week, the day of our Lord’s Resurrection, their day of worship, etc., which is different than the Sabbath of old, because Christ has fulfilled in totality the old Jewish Sabbath.) 12 Honour your father and which the LORD your God gives you (honoring the father and the mother sets the stage for the honoring of God; the first five Commandments have to do with man’s obligation toward God, while the last five have to do with his obligation toward his fellowman). 13 You shall not kill (should have been translated, “Thou shalt do no murder”; God, in His Holy Word, commands magistrates to put evil men to death [Rom. 13:4]; that is not murder; to “kill”and to “commit murder”are two different verbs in the Hebrew Text). 14 You shall not commit adultery (regarding this sin, both man and woman are placed in the same category; our duty toward our neighbor is to respect the bond on which the family is based, and that conjugal honor which to the true man is dearer than life; marriage, according to the original institution, makes the husband and wife “one flesh”[Gen. 2:24]; and to break in upon this sacramental union was at once a crime and a profanity; it is a sin against man and against God). 15 You shall not steal (as it regards our neighbor, we are to respect his property; we simply don’t take that which doesn’t belong to us). 16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour (false witness is of two kinds, public and private; we may either seek to damage our neighbor by giving false evidence against him in a court of justice, or simply culminate him to others in our social intercourse with them). 17 You shall not covet your neighbour’s house, you shall wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is your neighbour’s (covetousness addresses what causes the evil deed; this Commandment teaches men that there is One Who sees the heart; to Whose Eyes “all things are naked and open”; and Who cares far less for the outward act than the inward thought or motive from which the act proceeds).
Matthew 5:17-20
CHRIST AND THE LAW
Think not that I am come to destroy the Law (this was the Law of Moses), or the Prophets (the predictions of the Prophets of the Old Testament): I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill (Jesus fulfilled the Law by meeting its just demands with a Perfect Life, and satisfying its curse by dying on the Cross [Gal. 3:13]). 18 For verily I say unto you (proclaims the ultimate authority!), Till Heaven and Earth pass (means to be changed, or pass from one condition to another, which will take place in the coming Perfect Age [Rev., Chpts. 21-22]), one jot (smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet) or one tittle (a minute ornamental finish to ancient Hebrew letters) shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled (the Law was meant to be fulfilled in Christ, and was in fact, totally fulfilled by Christ, in His Life, Death, and Resurrection, with a New Testament or New Covenant being brought about [Acts 15:5-29; Rom. 10:4; II Cor. 3:6-15; Gal. 3:19-25; 4:21-31; 5:1-5, 18; Eph. 2:15; Col. 2:14-17]). 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven (those who are disloyal to the authority of the Word of God shall called the least,”means that he will not be in the Kingdom at all): but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven (the Lord sets the Bible as the Standard of all Righteousness, and He recognizes no other). 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees (which was self-righteousness), you shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (the absolute necessity of the New Birth is declared here as imperative in every case).
Ephsians 2:8 For by Grace (the Goodness of God) are you Saved through Faith (Faith in Christ, with the Cross ever as its Object); and that not of yourselves (none of this is of us, but all is of Him): it is the Gift of God (anytime the word “Gift”is used, God is speaking of His Son and His Substitutionary Work on the Cross, which makes all of this possible):
John 1:12 But as many as received Him (some did receive Him, and some do receive Him), to them gave He power to become the sons of God (constitutes one of the greatest Promises in the Word of God), even to them who believe on His Name (Faith in Christ and in what He has done for us at the Cross alone can make a person a “son or daughter of God”):
Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? (This is meant to direct attention to Rom. 5:20.) Shall we continue in sin, that Grace may abound? (Just because Grace is greater than sin doesn’t mean that the Believer has a license to sin.) 2 God forbid (presents Paul’s answer to the question, “Away with the thought, let not such a thing occur”). How shall we, who are dead to sin (dead to the sin nature), live any longer therein? (This portrays what the Believer is now in Christ.)
As you have just read for yourselves, from the True Word of God, of what He requires for you to be Saved and to make it to Heaven. The Ten Commandments is something that should be looked at as a model to live by, since no one can keep the Law of Moses, which God gave us, He came down to earth as Jesus Christ, to die at the Cross, for the atonement of sin. Now, that is where God's Grace comes in at, which is done through the following, Repentance at the Cross, Belief in the Cross and in Him Crucified, that is the Only means, for Salvation, meaning, being Saved through God's Grace. He who denies this Truth, will go to hell, when they die.

WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE IGORANT TO HIS HOLY WORD.
WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANT TO HIS HOLY WORD.
Proverbs 27:12 A prudent man foresees the evil, and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. (God calls “prudent”those who know, understand, and live by the Bible. God calls “simple”those who do not believe the Bible, or else do not take the time to study its contents.)
Ephsians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened (speaks of a process completed in the past [the Fall] but having results in the present), being alienated from the life of God (proclaims the only true life there is) through the ignorance that is in them (does not refer merely to intellect, but denotes an ignorance of Divine things), because of the blindness of their heart (it is a “willful ignorance”which brings about a “willful blindness,”i.e., “spiritual blindness”):
Hosea 4:6 My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no Priest to Me: seeing you have forgotten the Law of your God, I will also forget your children. (“My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge,”is the cause of all the problems in the church, and the world, for that matter! The “knowledge”spoken of is the Bible. This “lack of knowledge”was not ignorance, but rather a willful rejection of the Law of God. They didn’t know, but it was because they didn’t want to know!)
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at (does not reflect that such ignorance was Salvation, for it was not! before the Cross, there was very little Light in the world, so God withheld Judgment); but now where to repent (but since the Cross, the “Way”is open to all; it’s up to us Believers to make that “Way”known to all men):
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom (pertains to proper knowledge of the Word of God), let him ask of God, Who gives to all men liberally (the Lord gives to those who ask, providing they ask the right thing; a greater knowledge of the Word of God is always the right thing), and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (This means when we ask wisdom of Him, He will not reproach or chide us for our past conduct. He permits us to come in the freest manner, and meets us with a spirit of entire kindness, and with promptness in granting our requests.)
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit (behind every doctrine there is a “spirit”; if it’s true Doctrine, the Holy Spirit; if it’s false doctrine, evil spirits), but try the spirits whether they are of God (the criteria is, “is it Scriptural?”): because many false prophets are gone out into the world (and they continue unto this hour).
Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one who says unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (the repetition of the word “Lord”expresses astonishment, as if to say: “Are we to be disowned?”); but he who does the Will of My Father which is in Heaven (what is the Will of the Father? Verse 23 tells us). 22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not Prophesied in Your Name? and in Your Name have cast out devils? and in Your Name done many wonderful works? (These things are not the criteria, but rather Faith in Christ and what Christ has done for us at the Cross [Eph. 2:8-9, 13-18]. The Word of God alone is to be the judge of doctrine.) 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you (again we say, the criteria alone is Christ and Him Crucified [I Cor. 1:23]): depart from Me, you who work iniquity (we have access to God only through Christ, and access to Christ only through the Cross, and access to the Cross only through a denial of self [Lk. 9:23]; any other Message is Judged by God as “iniquity,”and cannot be a part of Christ [I Cor. 1:17]).
Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. (Two types of warnings are given in this Passage: the “warning”that should be given to the people by faithful watchmen; and the “warning”that should be given by the Holy Spirit to unfaithful watchmen.)
Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man foresees the evil, and hides himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. (The “prudent man”is the one who lives his life by the Bible and, therefore, “foresees evil.”He can, therefore, protect himself from its environment. The “simple”can be likened to those who do not know or believe the Bible and are, therefore, ignorant of the vicissitudes of the spirit world.)
James 1:6 But let him ask in Faith (some accuse James of denigrating Faith; however, he actually does the very opposite, things), nothing wavering (nothing doubting). For he who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. (He who continuously veers from one course to another only reveals his own instability and lack of a sense of being under Divine control.)
1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the Author of confusion, but of peace (the Holy Spirit will never contradict Himself), as in all Churches of the Saints. (These instructions given by Paul pertain to all Churches, and not merely the Church at Corinth.)
Luke 12:40 40 Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of Man comes at an hour when you think not (regrettably, most of the modern Church doesn’t think the Rapture will take place; this means that it will definitely take place, and very soon!).
Jesus Christ, God Almighty can and will come, with warning or without. Either way, if you get taken in your sins and you do not Repent and turn away from Satan's sinful nature, you will go to hell. The Word of God, that I have been sharing with your lost souls, are Warning letters from God and You better heed His Warnings, is being shared in hopes that you come to Jesus Christ and to the Cross, in Repentance and get Saved. If you are not Reborn Again, you then are hell bound and not Saved. If you are Reborn Again? You then have no license to sin no more. If you are a continuing to be Christian and living in sin, you then are not Saved. There is no such thing as sin, being allowed to enter into the Kingdom of God and if sin comes into Heaven, it will then will be burnt by Fire. You must Repent, turn away from Satan's Sin Nature, in order to be Saved. God is a Loving and forgiving God but, if you don't Repent and admit that God is right and you are wrong? It will be hell for your souls. May God be with you in your decisions on this side of the grave. God Bless

This goes back to idol worship and this lie of global warming is a lie from and of Satan. Anyone who believes in this lie, is in grave dangers of worshipping and believing in this lie, of going to hell. No one should Worship any other God except, Jesus Christ (whom God is), and believe in the Cross and in Him Crucified. I am going to prove to some of you who are that ignorant, through the Word of God that, global warming is straight from the pits of hell.
Geneses 8:22 While the Earth remained, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease (the Promise is given here that the seasons of the year will continue forever, because the Earth will remain forever).
Revelation 8:7 The first Angel sounded (the first Trumpet Judgment), and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth (this will be literal, and will be a fulfillment of the Prophecy of Joel [Joel 2:30-32]; this is similar to the seventh plague upon Egypt [Ex. 9:22]): and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up (probably refers to a third part of the Mediterranean area being affected; even though all of this will affect the entirety of the Earth, as would be obvious, the greatest concentration will be in the Middle East).
Deuteronomy 29:22-25 So that the generation to come of your children who shall rise up after you, and the stranger who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD has laid upon it; 23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger, and in His wrath: 24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore has the LORD done thus unto this land? what means the heat of this great anger? 25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the Covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
Jude 1:7 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner (the Greek Text introduces a comparison showing a likeness between the Angels of Verse 6 and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah; but the likeness between them lies deeper than the fact that both were guilty of committing sin; it extends to the fact that both were guilty of the same identical sin), giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh (the Angels cohabited with women; the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, was homosexuality [Rom. 1:27]), are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire (those who engage in the sin of homosexuality and refuse to repent will suffer the vengeance of the Lake of Fire).
Zephania 3:8 8 Therefore wait you upon Me, says the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for My Determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them My Indignation, even all My fierce Anger: for all the Earth shall be devoured with the fire of My Jealousy. (This Passage actually has to do with the coming Battle of Armageddon, which will precipitate the Second Coming [Rev. 16:13-17].)
2 Chronicles 7:14 If My People, who are called by My Name (Believers), shall humble themselves (humility), and pray, and seek My Face (the prayer of Repentance), and turn from their wicked ways (which proclaims the manner of true Repentance); then will I hear from Heaven (but not otherwise), and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (God’s Prescription for spiritual sickness).
Revelation 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat (as the next Verse states, this is done only in the geographical area of the Antichrist), and blas phemed the Name of God, which has power over these plagues (those in the geographical area of the Antichrist will know that God is doing this, but yet will continue to blaspheme His Name): and they repented not to give Him Glory. (This tells us something about the hearts of men. It is seldom that miracles bring men to Repentance. Repentance must come from the heart and stem from Faith, which must ever have Christ and the Cross as its Object.)
Satan
Revelation 20:7-9 And when the thousand years are expired (should have been translated, “finished”), Satan shall be loosed out of his prison (is not meant to infer a mere arbitrary act on the part of God; He has a very valid reason for doing this), 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the Earth, Gog and Magog (the main reason the Lord allows Satan this latitude is, it seems, to rid the Earth of all who oppose Christ; George Williams says: “The Creation Sabbath witnessed the first seduction, and the Millennial Sabbath will witness the last”; the “Gog and Magog”spoken of by John is a Hebrew term expressive of multitude and magnitude; here it embraces all nations, “the four quarters of the Earth”), to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea (proclaims the fact that virtually all of the population at that particular time, which did not accept Christ during the Kingdom Age, will throw in their lot with Satan). 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the Saints about, and the beloved city (pictures Satan coming against Jerusalem with his army, which will be the last attack against that city): and fire came down from God out of Heaven, and devoured them. (Stipulates that the Lord will make short work of this insurrection. In fact, very little information is given regarding this event, as is obvious.)
2 Peter 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow (tells us in no uncertain terms what God thinks of Sodomy), making them an example unto those who after should live ungodly (Sodom and Gomorrha were meant as a warning);
DESTRUCTION OF THE UNGODLY
Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day comes, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all who do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says the LORD of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. (“For, behold, the day comes,”has a double meaning: 1. It refers to the coming Battle of Armageddon, which will precipitate the Coming of the Lord, Who will come with flaming fire; and, 2. It refers to the “Great White Throne place after the Millennial Reign [Rev. 20:11-15]. The latter phrase refers to the coming day when the entirety of the Earth shall be cleansed by fire. It pertains to the coming New heavens and New Earth [II Pet. 3:12-13]. “Neither root nor branch,”means that not one vestige of sin nor rebellion against God will remain anywhere in the universe. Peter likened it to a “New Earth wherein dwells Righteousness.”)

TRUE VALENTINES DAY THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD
KING JAMES EXPOSITOR STUDY BIBLE
1 John 4:8 He who loves not knows not God; for God is love. (“As to His nature, God is love.”)
John 3:16 For God so loved the world (presents the God kind of love), that He gave His Only Begotten Son (gave Him up to the Cross, for that’s what it took to redeem humanity), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.
Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity (Love), which is the bond of perfectness (complete growth).
Galatians 5:22-23 FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT But the Fruit of the Spirit (are not “fruits” but rather “Fruit”; they are to be looked at as a “whole,” which means they grow equally) is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no Law. (Against such there doesn’t need to be a Law. But let the Reader understand that this “Fruit” is of the “Holy Spirit,” and not of man. It can only develop as we are “led of the Spirit.” And we can only be led by the Spirit by making the Cross the Object of our Faith.)
1 Corinthians CHAPTER 13:1-13 (A.D. 59) LOVE 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of Angels (actually says in the Greek, “If it were possible to speak with the tongues of men and of Angels”; as well, Paul is not denigrating speaking with Tongues, as some have claimed [I Cor. 14:18]), and have not charity (love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal (does not refer to our modern musical instrument which we call by that name, but that which made no more than a clattering sound). 2 And though I have the Gift of Prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all Faith, so that I could remove mountains (tells us that the Gifts of the Spirit can be had by less than perfect people, as should be obvious), and have not charity (love), I am nothing. (We now see the basis on which everything must be built — it is love. If not, we are nothing!) 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned (shifts from Gifts to “Works”), and have not charity (love), it profits me nothing. (As commendable as the acts may be, they bring a grade of zero unless God’s Love motivates them.) CHARACTERISTICS 4 Charity (love) suffers long (refers to patience), and is kind (represents the second side of the Divine attitude toward human kind); charity (the God kind of Love) envies not (does not want that which belongs to others); Love vaunts not itself (is never a braggart), is not puffed up (is not prideful), 5 Does not behave itself unseemly (is forgetful of self and thoughtful of others), seeks not her own (is unselfish), is not easily provoked (is not embittered by abuse, insult, or injury), thinks no evil (takes no account of evil); 6 Rejoices not in iniquity (never gossips about the misdeeds of others), but rejoices in the Truth (proclaims that which the Word of God identifies as Truth); 7 Bears all things (never complains), believes all things (takes the kindest views of all men), hopes all things (keeps believing for the best), endures all things (puts up with everything). ETERNAL 8 Love never fails (because love cannot fail): but whether there be Prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be Tongues, they shall cease; whether there be Knowledge, it shall vanish away. (This refers to the fact that the Gifts of the Spirit will not be needed in the coming Resurrection, as well as many other things we could name.) 9 For we know in part (pertains to the “Word of Knowledge,” which is just part Knowledge), and we Prophesy in part (falls into the same category). 10 But when that which is perfect is come (refers to the Rapture of the Church, i.e., the Resurrection), then that which is in part shall be done away (as should be obvious). 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. (The Apostle is comparing our present state, “as a child,” to that which is coming, symbolized by a mature adult. That is the difference between the present state and the coming Resurrection.) 12 For now (before the Resurrection) we see through a glass, darkly (can only see the dim outline); but then (after the Resurrection) face to face (we can look and see openly and clearly): now I know in part (have some knowledge); but then shall I know even as also I am known (then everything will be perfect and complete). 13 And now (before the Resurrection) abides Faith, Hope, Love, these three (all three will abide forever); but the greatest of these is Love (it is the greatest because Love alone makes us like God [I Jn. 4:7]).
Song of Solomon 3:5 I charge you, O you daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that you stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. (Truly, Israel will go through a dark night of Tribulation during the time of “Jacob’s Trouble” [Jer. 30:7]. Now that communion is restored and the heart brought into the joy, confidence, and rest of union with Christ, it is His Will that nothing should interrupt that rest.)

WHAT GOD SAY’S ABOUT THE HEART OF EVERY PERSON.
Message is produced by God and Presented by the Holy Ghost and through His Temple, Zach.
We will first, take a close look through scriptures, of the wicked heart and of a Good heart.
I will remind you before we get started, we are to judge one thing and that is bad fruit. Which would be your foul speeches, foul ways of living, foul activities and actions. this does not include the heart, which is God’s Job of Judging, which would be MOTIVES, speaking of the heart so, don’t ever get the two confused. If there is any wickedness, like wanting to be an alcoholic, druggy, tattoos and such, it then will end up on God’s temple, which is Blasphemous in the eyes of God and anyone who destroys their bodies in any way, God will then have to destroy that temple unless, you turn back to God in Repentance at the Cross, deny yourselves and walking away, not to but, away from doing it again, you will be Saved. Repentance and turning away, is the key point it not, your repentance is bogus and God will not recognize you has being Saved.
Lets get Started.
King James Expositor Study Bible.
THE WICKED HEART.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (God knows the hopeless corruption of the natural heart, and so He said to Nicodemus that no one, however cultured and moral, can either see or enter into the Kingdom of God. There must be a new birth.)
Mark 7:20-23 And He said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man (an evil heart produces evil actions). 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders (the necessity of the creation of a new heart, i.e., “a new man,” is here declared), 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness (this statement by Christ, destroys the belief that the natural heart is good, and makes foolish modern efforts to improve human nature): 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man (proclaims the result of the Fall, and the absolute necessity of the new birth).
James 1:22-25 But be ye doers of the Word (the “Word” has the potential to do great and mighty things within our lives), and not hearers only (while hearing the Word is definitely necessary, at the same time it must be heard properly, and that refers to a heart that wants to receive), deceiving your own selves. (It’s bad enough to be deceived by others, but worse yet to purposely deceive ourselves. If we think we can live this life without total Faith in Christ and the Cross, we are doing exactly what James said not to do, “deceiving ourselves.”) 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass (he sees only that which is external and, therefore, cannot make a proper evaluation): 24 For he beholds himself, and goes his way (which is not God’s Way), and straightway forgets what manner of man he was. (An evaluation of ourselves is necessary. However, it is God Alone Who knows the heart which the Word of God, properly presented, reveals.) 25 But whoso looks into the perfect Law of Liberty (defines the whole body of revealed truth concerning the Word of God), and continues therein (there must be a continuous abiding in the Word), he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (Obeying the Word of God brings great Blessing. However, the only way it can be obeyed is for the Believer to unequivocally place his Faith in Christ and the Cross.)
Romans 1:21-22 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God (if men do not understand God in the realm of Creation, they will not understand Him in anything else), neither were thankful (refusing to honor Him resulted in a lack of gratitude for His Gifts); but became vain in their imaginations (presents the only direction that fallen man can go, considering he has rejected God), and their foolish heart was darkened (speaks of the rejection of Light). 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools (lays waste to all so-called wisdom which is not of God),
James 1:5-8 If any of you lack wisdom (pertains to proper knowledge of the Word of God), let him ask of God, Who gives to all men liberally (the Lord gives to those who ask, providing they ask the right thing; a greater knowledge of the Word of God is always the right thing), and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (This means when we ask wisdom of Him, He will not reproach or chide us for our past conduct. He permits us to come in the freest manner, and meets us with a spirit of entire kindness, and with promptness in granting our requests.) 6 But let him ask in Faith (some accuse James of denigrating Faith; however, he actually does the very opposite, making Faith a criteria for all things), nothing wavering (nothing doubting). For he who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. (He who continuously veers from one course to another only reveals his own instability and lack of a sense of being under Divine control.) 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. (This points to a particular type of individual, one who has a “doubting heart.”) 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (One cannot place one’s Faith in the Cross and something else at the same time. Such produces instability, a type of Faith that will never be honored by the Lord.)
Hebrews 3:18-19 And to whom swore He that they should not enter into His rest, but to them who believed not? (They lost everything because of unbelief, and the modern Church is doing the same, which is the very reason that Paul wrote this Epistle.) 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief (and if the modern Believer registers unbelief toward Christ and the Cross, the results will be the same as it was with Israel of Old).
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a Great White Throne (proclaims the final Judgment of the unredeemed, which will take place at the end of the Kingdom Age), and Him Who sat on it (proclaims none other than God; however, we must understand that it is the Person of the Godhead, the Lord Jesus Christ [Mat. 25:31]; He is the Saviour today; He will be the Judge tomorrow), from Whose face the Earth and the Heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. (This means a New Heaven and New Earth are in the offing.)
Roman 3:10 As it is written (Ps. 14:1-3), There is none righteous, no, not one (addresses the complaint of the Jews and clinches the argument with the Scriptures, which the Jews could not deny):
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned (presents all men placed in the same category), and come short of the Glory of God (the Greek Text infers that even the most Righteous among us continue to come short of the Glory of God on a continuing basis);
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death (speaks of spiritual death, which is separation from God); but the Gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord (as stated, all of this, without exception, comes to us by the means of what Christ did at the Cross, which demands that the Cross ever be the Object of our Faith, thus giving the Holy Spirit latitude to work within our lives and bring forth His Fruit).
As we just read through the Word of God, any person who has an evil heart, will face death a second time, in hell. If you, swear and cuss with a lose tougnue and do evil to your body like, trashing it up with tattoos, which I call it, “Graffiti”. Doing drugs and such, murdering and anything else that is not of God, will face life in hell, after they die from this side of the grave which, is the second death and final torment place unless, he or she, turns back to God at the Cross in Repentance and turns away from that life of hell bound sin.
What does God have to say about a good heart? Lets take a close look, through the Word of God.
A GOOD HEART.
Luke 8:15 But that on the good ground (constitutes the fourth group which will bring forth “fruit to perfection,” i.e., “fruit to maturity”) are they, which in an honest and good heart (tells us that the problem is with the heart and not with circumstances), having heard the Word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience (merely hearing the Word is not enough; one must “keep it” as well).
Matthew 15:18-20 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man (not everything that comes out of the mouth of a man is defiling, but only that which proceeds from an evil heart). 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies (this proclaims the depravity of the unconverted human heart, which was the condition of the Pharisees, despite their religiosity): 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defile not a man (Satan is a master at placing the emphasis on the insignificant, instead of the real problem).
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things (the “good man” of this Verse is the same as the “good tree” of Verse 33; as the “good tree” will bring forth good fruit, likewise, the “good man” will bring forth “good treasure” out of his heart): and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things (an evil heart cannot do otherwise).
Revelation 21:7-8 He who overcomes shall inherit all things (the only way one can overcome is to place one’s Faith exclusively in the Cross of Christ, which gives the Holy Spirit latitude to work in one’s life, bringing about the Fruit of the Spirit); and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. (The overcomer is adopted into the Family of God and God treats him as a son, exactly as He does His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.) 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars (all of this corresponds with the “works of the flesh,” as outlined in Gal. 5:19-21), shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death (proclaims the Eternal destiny of Christ-rejecters).
Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers (Jesus called the Pharisees snakes, and did so to their face), how can you, being evil, speak good things? (Due to being evil, they could not produce good fruit.) for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (men’s words reveal their thoughts and character).
Acts 8:21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter (the word “matter” in the Greek, as it is used here, is “Logos,” and means “a word or speech”; Peter is referring to these Believers speaking with other tongues): for your heart is not right in the Sight of God (self-will is the cause of the evil heart).
THINK
Phillipians 4:8-9 Finally, Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (This can be done, providing the Cross is the Object of our Faith, which then gives the Holy Spirit latitude to help us.) 9 Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do (Paul had given them the Gospel of the Cross, and they had seen it work in his life; so they had the correct teaching, and they had the correct example): and the God of Peace shall be with you. (Sanctifying Peace will be ours, if our Faith is properly placed in the Cross and remains in the Cross.)
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore (applies to any and all who follow Christ, and in all ages), and teach all nations (should have been translated, “and preach to all nations”, for the word “teach” here refers to a proclamation of truth), baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (presents the only formula for Water Baptism given in the Word of God):
Galatians 3:26 For you are all the Children of God by Faith in Christ Jesus. (Every person who is saved, and every person who has ever been or ever will be saved, is saved only by “Faith in Christ Jesus,” which refers to what He did at the Cross.)
CLOSING SCRIPTURES
SIN
1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin (refers to “the sin nature”), we deceive ourselves (refers to self-deception), and the Truth is not in us. (This does not refer to all Truth as it regards Believers, but rather that the Truth of the indwelling sinful nature is not in us.) 9 If we confess our sins (pertains to acts of sin, whatever they might be; the sinner is to believe [Jn. 3:16]; the Saint is to confess), He (the Lord) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins (God will always be true to His Own Nature and Promises, keeping Faith with Himself and with man), and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (“All,” not some. All sin was remitted, paid for, and put away on the basis of the satisfaction offered for the demands of God’s Holy Law, which sinners broke, when the Lord Jesus died on the Cross.) 10 If we say that we have not sinned (here, John is denouncing the claims of sinless perfection; he is going back to Verse 8, speaking of Christians who claimed they had no sin nature), we make Him a liar (the person who makes such a claim makes God a liar, because the Word says the opposite), and His Word is not in us. (If we properly know the Word, we will properly know that perfection is not in us at present, and will not be until the Trump sounds.)
THINK AND PRAY UPON THESE THINGS.
MAY GOD BE WITH YOUR SOULS.
