To be BLAMELESS


 1 Corinthians 1:2

King James Version

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, 

to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, 

called to be saints, 

with all that in every place 

call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, 

both their's and our's:


What does it mean to be "blameless"?

Why the need for it?

What happens to the wicked?

What does the Bible say?

A born again workman has great responsibility.

I have to tell you we must walk with the HOLY SPIRIT.

Galatians 5:16-17

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit,

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.


Only GOD's born again children could really understand.

And accept, as well as embrace, His laws.

SPIRIT teaches us how.

Through the teachings JESUS gave us in His ministry.

Until you're born again, you won't know the power of SPIRIT.

Only through SPIRIT can we know GOD's laws.

Only through SPIRIT can we know JESUS.

Only through SPIRIT can we be perfect.

He will teach us everything.

JESUS confirms this:

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.


John 15:26

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:


John 16:8

King James Version

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:


John 16:13-15

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.


JESUS also alerted me to the imminence of the Rapture.

This, I was taught on 14 January 2020.

Four months after GOD made me born again.

Obviously, GOD doesn't want me to perish.

He knew I'd been searching for ABSOLUTE truth.

For the longest time.

Likewise, the LORD knew I'd be excited to share with you.

Everything about Him.

Whether it be the good news of eternal life, or salvation.

Wherein GOD shows His love for all.

And so it has been.

Every blog SPIRIT and I have created includes this verse:

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


This need to be holy, perfect, and blameless is important.

Philippians 2:15

King James Version

15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, 

the sons of God, 

without rebuke, 

in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, 

among whom ye shine as lights in the world;


It is vital we be acceptable to the LORD.

All our efforts must be for GOD alone.

2 Corinthians 5:9

King James Version

9 Wherefore we labour, 

that, whether present or absent, 

we may be accepted of him.


Why?

This verse answer it perfectly:

2 Corinthians 5:10

King James Version

10 For we must all appear 

before the judgment seat of Christ; 

that every one may receive the things done in his body, 

according to that he hath done, 

whether it be good or bad.


JESUS did say the time is "at hand".

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.


Why, then, are we taking our time?

Why haven't we sought GOD?

Why haven't we believed in JESUS?

Why haven't we repented?

Why haven't we reconciled to GOD?

Every day we're still on earth is PURE GRACE.

At any given moment, JESUS can come for His faithful.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


Wht happens to unbelievers?

Or those who remain wicked?

And the unrepentant?

What happens to them?

Know here.

Lastly, a beautiful promise.

Which JESUS gave:

Matthew 5:8

King James Version

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: 

for they shall see God.
