Except you die, you can not live again

by Evangelist Idaline Joelle.

UNLESS YOU DIE, YOU CANNOT LIVE!!!


Words of Jesus Christ: Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
John: 12:24: 25

This is what Jesus Christ meant: Unless you die to the mundane things i.e. fornication, adultery, idolatry, lying, stealing, hatred, lust, envy, pride, uncleanness and iniquity you cannot bear fruit, nor enter His Kingdom. Selah

If you love your life more than God, you will lose it, but if you hate your life to live according to God’s will and way, you will have eternal life. (See: 1 John: 2:15:17, Galatians: 5:24)

HERE IS THE BACKGROUND.

WHAT YOU SOW IS NOT MADE ALIVE UNLESS IT DIES.
(1Corinthians:15:36)

You can do an experiment: take a sweet corn seed, pumpkin seed, or peanut then sow it, it will not grow immediately unless it dies, and it takes exactly 3 days to grow.

The Bible says in
Romans: 6:3:8: Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin.

In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses. Colossians: 2:11:13

Brethren as Jesus Christ died and were resurrected on the 3rd day; we too died with Him, were buried with Him and resurrected with Him. Selah

Ephesians: 4: 22:24 says: That you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Selah

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Romans: 8:12:13.

Underline in your Bible: For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

HAVE YOU DIED TO THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD? IS CHRIST JESUS IN YOU?

Jesus Christ said: I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Romans: 8:10

2 Corinthians:5:17 says: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

You have many and many more of those who call themselves Christians, but still live their old lives…. They still do the evil things they did when they were in the world, while in Christ Jesus; you cannot tell the difference between unbelievers and these Christians, they are spiritually barren. They are neither growing nor bearing fruits worthy of repentance. Selah

They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. Titus: 1:16. Selah!

Therefore Bear Fruits Worthy of Repentance! Matthew: 3: 8

ARE YOU BEARING FRUITS WORTHY OF REPENTANCE?

And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Matthew: 3:10. Selah

Colossians: 3:1: 5 says: If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Therefore "PUT TO DEATH" your members which are on the earth: Fornication, Uncleanness, Passion, Evil Desire, and Covetousness, which is Idolatry.

Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them."

WERE YOU RAISED WITH CHRIST JESUS CHRIST?

PUT ON the New Man who is Renewed in Knowledge according to the Image of Him who created Him. Colossians: 3:10. Selah

Apostle Paul puts it this way :
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ Lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians: 2 : 20.

HAVE YOU BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST JESUS CHRIST?

The saying is sure and worthy of confidence: If we have died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.

If we deny and disown and reject Him, He will also deny and disown and reject us. 2 Timothy: 2:11:12.

Underline in your Bible: If we have died with Him, we shall also live with Him. Selah

HAVE YOU DIED WITH CHRIST JESUS?

If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Selah

In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses. Colossians: 2:11:13.

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are Above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things Above, Not on things on the Earth. Selah

PUT ON the New Man which was created according to God, in True Righteousness and Holiness; and WALK in NEWNESS OF LIFE. Selah!

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

And do not be Conformed to this world, but be Transformed by the Renewing of your Mind, that you may prove what is that Good and Acceptable and Perfect Will of God. Romans: 12:1:2. Selah.

Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, unless you die to the things of this world, fornication, adultery, idolatry, lying, stealing, hatred, lust, uncleanness and iniquity etc…You cannot bear fruit, nor enter God’s kingdom. Selah

PUT ON THE NEW MAN by praying this prayer with meaning in your heart:

Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I thank you because you love me. Jesus Christ, I believe in my heart that you are the son of God and that you died for me, so that my sins can be forgiven. And I believe that you were raised from the dead, so that I may be justified. Right now, I ask you to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I confess you now as my Lord. Thank you because I am NOW born again and a brand new person and that I will one day be with you in heaven. In Jesus’ name I pray Amen!

If you meant this prayer in your heart congratulations, you're now a child of God, and your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. Alleluia!

(See John: 1:12:13, Luke: 10: 20, Revelation: 20:15, Galatians:3:26; Galatians:4:7)

Remember having a personal relationship with Jesus means you will need to spend time with Him in prayer and regular Bible study. To know more about your new friend Jesus Christ, you need to plug into a good Bible believing Church. A Bible believing Church is one that believes in the truth of the Bible and practices the teachings of Jesus Christ in our daily walk. Be baptized and tell others about Jesus Christ.

Meditate on these scriptures (Philippians: 3:7:11; 1 Peter: 2:11:12; James: 4:4:5, 1 John: 2:15:17; Hebrews: 12:1:2; Luke: 13:6:9; Romans: 12:1:2), and Pray accordingly.

Brothers, sisters, men and women of God remember this: Jesus Christ is ONLY coming for those who have been Crucified with Him; those who died with Him; those who were buried and Raised with Him, and those who are Bearing Fruits Worthy of Repentance. SELAH!!!

FOR MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN Matthew: 22:14.

(See Bible ref: Galatians: 2:20; 5:24, 1 Corinthians:15: 53, Romans: 8; 10; 8:13, Matthew: 3:8; 3:10; 7:16:17; 12:33, Luke: 6:44, 2 Corinthians:5:17)

Words of Jesus Christ: If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. John: 15:22. Selah.

Always remember to share God’s word, and to win souls into Marvellous Kingdom.

Everyone you meet with today on your way out, greet him or her, and say to him or her: JESUS LOVES YOU.

Make it your aim to win ONE SOUL every Month into God's marvelous Kingdom.

James: 1:22 says: But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

THE WISEST CHRISTIANS ON PLANET EARTH ARE SOUL WINNERS. Selah (See: Proverbs: 11:30, Daniel: 12:3)

Have a marvellous day. You are blessed and loved.
