SPELLING EDITED E-6. For NEW BELIEVERS in Jesus! This is Part 2 of the study called “THE SIMPLICITY OF THE GOSPEL!” In Part 1 of the simplicity of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ, you will learn how to be saved. And in Part 2, I will explain many of the Christian TERMS that could take decades to learn in some church denominations which you can learn from this one study in God’s word. Let us begin this study in God’s word by reading 1 Thessalonians 5:12-24 from the Common English Bible that I will abbreviate as CEB. I will also be quoting some verses from the King James Version translation of the Bible which I will abbreviate as KJV. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-24 from the CEB. “Brothers and sisters, we ask you to respect those who are working with you, leading you, and instructing you. 13. Think of them highly with love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14. Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are disorderly. Comfort the discouraged. Help the weak. Be patient with everyone. 15. Make sure no one repays a wrong with a wrong, but always pursue the good for each other and everyone else. 16. Rejoice always. 17. Pray continually. 18. Give thanks in every situation because this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 19. Don't suppress the Spirit. 20. Don't brush off Spirit-inspired messages, 21. but examine everything carefully and hang on to what is good. 22. Avoid every kind of evil. 23. Now, may the God of peace himself cause you to be completely dedicated to him; and may your spirit, soul, and body be kept intact and blameless at our Lord Jesus Christ's coming. 24. The one who is calling you is faithful and will do this.” Now that you have read all that way through this passage of Scripture I will take one verse at a time to explain some of the Christian terms used in the Bible and by Christians. I will place my comments in parenthesis. I always quote the Scriptures in ITALICS and my comments will never be in ITALICS. And if my comments are within the Scriptures they will always be in parenthesis and NOT in italics. For you see, some Bibles place words in parenthesis as well but I will always quote the Bible in ITALICS. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-14. “Brothers and sisters, (The Bible refers to BELIEVERS in Jesus Christ as being brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is also called our BROTHER. I cover those verses in the study called “JESUS OUR FELLOW SERVANT”) we ask you to respect those who are working with you, leading you, and instructing you. 13. Think of them highly with love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14. Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are disorderly. Comfort the discouraged. Help the weak. Be patient with everyone.” It is important for us to love our brothers and sisters in the Lord enough to WARN them when they are straying away from doing the WILL of Almighty God that could cause them to lose their salvation. But we also must remember to be PATIENT with them because we all grow and mature at different rates of speed depending on how much effort we put into reading and studying the Bible and praying to God asking him what verses in the Bible mean. 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18. “Make sure no one repays a wrong with a wrong, but ALWAYS pursue the good for each other and everyone else. (This is another explanation of the commandment that Jesus gave to us to walk in LOVE toward one another to do unto them as we would have them do unto us. And by walking in love we fulfill or keep all the MORAL laws of God. This is to be our WALK of faith after we have first BELIEVED the simplicity of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ to be saved, as in, being forgiven of all our past sins to be made PERFECT in the eyes of God. Being perfect in the eyes of God simply means that God has CLEANSED you of all your sins and from all your unrighteousness by your FAITH in what Jesus did FOR you on the cross to become the ATONEMENT or the PROPITIATION of ALL of our sins.) 16. Rejoice always. (If you ever feel sad or depressed simply THINK and meditate on what Jesus did on the cross and REJOICE in the fact that God LOVES you and that his Son Jesus suffered and died for YOU so that you can receive eternal life in the world to come) 17. Pray continually. (This means to never give up in your praying. It also means to pray or talk with God and his Son Jesus every day and throughout each day. Not constantly but consistently. In other words, try not to pray faithfully for two or three days and then stop praying for six months before you start praying again) 8. Give thanks in every situation because this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Verse 8 means to always know and understand that with every trial God has made a way of escape or getting THROUGH those trials. We are to COUNT or to CONSIDER those trails as JOY knowing that we will be VICTORIOUS over them. For you see, even if we FALL we have an ADVOCATE with the Father. And IF we confess our sins we can always be ASSURED that God is always faithful and just to forgive us of all sin and cleanse us of all our unrighteousness. Let us read that verse before we finish with the rest of 1 Thessalonians 5: 9-24. Please read 1 John 1:5-10 from the KJV. “This then is the message which we have heard of him (Or this is part of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ), and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (Meaning that if we are TRULY IN God by being truly IN his Son, Jesus, then WE will do our best to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit to not have any sin or darkness in our lives) 6. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and we walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth: (In other words, if we say that we are Christians but we live in sin then we are deceiving our own selves. We are NOT obeying the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ when we live in sin) 7. But if we walk in the light, as he (Jesus) is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (This means as long as we do NOT sin after we first believe then our faith in the shed blood of Jesus as the atonement for our sins KEEPS us PERFECT in the eyes of God. So each time that we CONFESS our sins after we first believe, God RESTORES us to that same perfection just as if we have never sinned each and every time we ONEY the leading of the Holy Spirit to CONFESS and repent of our sins. This is one of the ways that we remain PERFECT in the eyes of God. The other way to remain perfect is to NOT sin. But if the Holy Spirit is leading you to confess a sin then do not resist the leading of the Holy Spirit) 8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (In other words, before we were saved, IF we would have said that our own righteousness was good enough to get us to heaven then the TRUTH of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ was never truly in us) 9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (This means that before we were saved, as in, the FIRST time that we confessed our sins. And it also means every time AFTER we are saved that we confess of sins God is always faithful to forgive us of ALL our sins AND to CLEANSE us from ALL our unrighteousness to make us PERFECT in his eyes. And you can NOT get any more PERFECT than what God makes us. And that is WHY it is like a slap in the face of God when church denominations ADD ceremonial WORKS that are required to be done in order to be saved. It is like those Christians are saying to God and His Son, Jesus, that your way, O God, of saving me is NOT GOOD enough so I must finish what you, O God, are not capable of doing. That is what church denominations are doing when they ADD their own made-made church doctrine to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. They PERVERT the true Gospel by ADDING things that are NOT taught in the NEW TESTAMENT. And that is why I implore my readers to stay in the New Testament until they are rooted and grounded in the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ so that they will never be deceived by false teaching) 10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” And verse 10 is warning us to NOT argue with the Holy Spirit when he convicts us of sin by trying to reason away our sin as if it is not a sin or as if it is just such a small sin which everyone commits so I really do not need to confess such a small sin. That is Satan LYING to you so that he can gain a foothold in your life to oppress you. So never run away from God and always run to him QUICKLY whenever you stumble and fall into sin. Let us continue with 1 Thessalonians 5:19-24. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-24 from the CEB. “Don't suppress the Spirit. (Or do not grieve or quench the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. We already talked about one way that we can avoid the leading of the Holy Spirit and that is by trying to reason away the leading of the Holy Spirit when we sin. We also grieve the Holy Spirit when we do not obey him to do GOOD things that he is leading us to do) 20. Don't brush off Spirit-inspired messages, (This means not only the small still voice coming from within us from the Holy Spirit who is nudging us to do or to not do something. But it also means to NOT dismiss an anointed teaching by a brother or sister in the Lord who is obeying the Holy Spirit to teach you the truth of the whole word of Almighty God. I say the WHOLE word of God quite a bit in almost all of my studies because FALSE teachings only use selected verses of Scripture taken OUT of their context. And by using Scripture even FALSE teachings may SEEM to be Biblical when in TRUTH every false teaching CONTRADICTS other verses in the Bible. BUT if you do not read and study the Bible for YOURSELF then you will not know about those other verses that CONTRADICT what your church denomination is teaching you.) 21. but examine everything carefully and hang on to what is good. (This means that we are to TEST everything that we hear whether we hear it from within us as a thought in our mind or even as an audible voice. We are to TEST to see if that voice is truly the voice of the Holy Spirit or if it is the voice of our enemy, Satan. And, likewise, we are to TEST the teachings that we hear or read by reading the Bible for ourselves in order to see if what we are being taught by our church denomination is the truth of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. Or if those verses are being taken OUT of the context by our church denomination to teach us only PART of the Gospel of salvation that could cause us to lose our promise of eternal life) 22. Avoid every kind of evil. (Meaning that we are to OBEY the commandment of Jesus to walk in LOVE and thus we fulfill all of the MORAL law of God because love works no evil) 23. Now, may the God of peace Himself cause you to be completely dedicated to Him; (And NOT to some church DENOMINATION) and may your spirit, soul, and body be kept intact and blameless at our Lord Jesus Christ's coming. 24. The one who is calling you is faithful and will do this.” In verse 23, we learn that every person is made up of three parts called your spirit, your soul, and your body. This is important to know because the Bible uses TERMS like your HEART, your INNER man, and your SPIRIT that are interchangeable in some verses of Scripture. In other verses of Scripture found in Hebrews 4:12 and in Matthew 10:28 teach us that our spirit and soul are CONNECTED together by God and that ONLY God can destroy both the BODY and the SOUL. Hebrews 4:12 from the CEB. “Because God's word is living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. It penetrates to the point that it separates the soul from the spirit and the joints from the marrow. It's able to judge the heart's thoughts and intentions.” This passage of Scripture is about being JUDGED by the word of God. And for those who are NOT found worthy on the Day of Judgment to receive ETERNAL LIFE will be cast alive, SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY into the lake of fire to destroy BOTH the BODY and the SOUL. And after both the body and the soul of the wicked are destroyed in the lake of fire then God’s SPIRIT of life will return to Him. For you see, without God's Spirit to give LIFE to the soul and the body then the soul and body would NOT be ALIVE. Now let us read Matthew 10:28 from the CEB. “Don't be afraid of those who kill the BODY but can't kill the SOUL. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy BOTH BODY and SOUL in hell.” In other words, do NOT fear persecution for your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior because this present life is but a vapor that passes away in a brief moment of time compared to your reward of ETERNAL LIFE in the worlds to come where all your tears and sorrows will be wiped away forever. Please read Revelation 7:14-17 and Revelation 21:1-8. Revelation 7:14-19=7. “I said to him, “Sir, you know.” Then he said to me, “These people have come out of great hardship. They have washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb's blood. (Or they have endured unto the end to be saved) 15. This is the reason they are before God's throne. They worship him day and night in his temple, and the one seated on the throne will shelter them. 16. They won't hunger or thirst anymore. No sun or scorching heat will beat down on them, 17. because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them. He will lead them to the springs of life-giving water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” Revelation 21:1-8 from the CEB. “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. (This will take place after the 1000 year reign of Jesus and after the final Day of Judgment when all the wicked will be destroyed in the lake of fire. The word “sea” is used in some verses to mean the wicked people. So in the new earth, there will be no more sin. There will be no more wicked people who disobey God’s moral commandments) 2. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3. I heard a loud voice from the throne say, ‘Look! God's dwelling is here with humankind. He will dwell with them, and they will be his peoples. God himself will be with them as their God. 4. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more. There will be no mourning, crying, or pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.’ 5. Then the one seated on the throne said, ‘Look! I'm making all things new.‘ He also said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.‘ 6. Then he said to me, ‘All is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.’ To the thirsty, I will freely give water from the life-giving spring. 7. Those who emerge victoriously will inherit these things. I will be their God, and they will be my sons and daughters. 8. But for the cowardly, the faithless, the vile, the murderers, those who commit sexual immorality, those who use drugs and cast spells, the idolaters, and all liars—their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.” And WHO is a LIAR that we learned in Part 1 of this study called “THE SIMPLICITY OF THE GOSPEL!”? It is those who SAY that they are Christians but they do NOT OBEY the teachings of Jesus under the NEW COVENANT written down for them to read in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. Please read the following verses. 1 John 1:6 from the CEB. “If we claim, ‘We have fellowship with him,’ and live in the darkness, we are lying and do not act truthfully.” In other words, you can say that you are a Baptist, a Presbyterian, a Methodist, or a Catholic, but if you are NOT OBEYING the teachings of Jesus under the New Covenant written in the New Testament then you are a LIAR and all LIARS will be cast into the lake of fire on the final Day of Judgment. For you see ONLY those who emerge VICTORIOUSLY will inherit eternal life in the world to come. 1 John 4:20,21. “If anyone SAYS, I love God, and hates a brother or sister, he is a LIAR, because the person who doesn't love a brother or sister who can be seen can't love God, who can't be seen. 21. This commandment we have from him: Those who claim to love God ought to love their brother and sister also.” 1 John 2:3-6. “This is HOW we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments. (Or this is HOW you can KNOW that you are TRULY saved. IF you are keeping his commandments under the New Covenant written in the New Testament) 4. The one who claims, “I know him,” while NOT keeping his commandments, is a LIAR, and the TRUTH is NOT in this person. 5. But the love of God is truly perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know we are in him. 6. The one who claims to remain in him ought to live in the same way as he lived.” In other words, the REST of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ is that we are to OVERCOME sin in our lives to live without sin even as Jesus lived without sin. Now some Christians will say that it is impossible to live without sin or to walk even as Jesus walked and THEY are making God out to be a LIAR. For why would God command us to keep His MORAL commandments if it was impossible to do so? What those Christians have failed to see is that Jesus overcame sin THROUGH the power of the Holy Spirit DWELLING IN him. And the same Holy Spirit who dwelt in Jesus NOW dwells in every TRUE born-again Christian. The simplest way to explain what the term “born-again” means is to read 2 Corinthians 5:15-21 where we become a new creation of God the very moment that we BELIEVE the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are born-again to a new life that we live FOR Jesus and NOT for ourselves to continue to live after the old lusts of our flesh. 2 Corinthians 5:15-21 from the CEB. “He (The Son of man, Jesus) died for the sake of all so that those who are alive should live not for themselves but for the one who died for them and was raised. 16. So then, from this point on we won't recognize people by human standards. Even though we used to know Christ by human standards, that isn't how we know him now. 17. So then, if anyone is in Christ, that person is part of the new creation. The old things have gone away, and look, new things have arrived! 18. All of these new things are from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and who gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 19. In other words, God was reconciling the world to himself through Christ, by not counting people's sins against them. He has trusted us with this message of reconciliation. 20. So we are ambassadors who represent Christ. God is negotiating with you through us. We beg you as Christ's representatives, ‘Be reconciled to God!’ 21. God caused the one who didn't know sin to be sin for our sake so that through him we could become the righteousness of God.” In other words, the very moment that a person accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior they become a NEW CREATURE that is created IN Jesus Christ. And at that very moment, they become as RIGHTEOUS as righteousness can possibly be. We are made PERFECT in the eyes of God. And each time we repent and confess our sins we are made PERFECT once again. Jesus said be you PERFECT even as your Father in heaven is PERFECT. And that righteousness is God’s GIFT to us by His GRACE through FAITH in His SON and what the Son of man did for us on the cross and the stripes that he bore for our physical healing right before he was crucified as the atonement for our sins. But yet some church denominations WRONGLY teach that you are still a SINNER and thus you must EARN your salvation by all the WORKS that they ADD to the Gospel of Jesus Christ which PERVERTS the TRUE Gospel of Jesus to become ANOTHER or a DIFFERENT gospel other than what Jesus taught his Apostles under the NEW COVENANT written in the New Testament. So that is why I teach my readers to STAY in the New Testament until they are thoroughly rooted and grounded in the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now what happens when we are born-again by the word of God is that God creates in us a new HEART. Another way to say this is that our SPIRIT is reborn. Remember that our spirit is basically on LOAN to us so to speak. As IF we are found worthy to receive eternal life then we get to keep the spirit of life that God breathed into our SOUL and BODY to become a living soul or a living human being. So again, our spirit and soul are also called our heart and our INNER MAN or our inner being that lives in a physical body in the present world. But when we are found to be those good and faithful servants, when Jesus returns, we will be given NEW IMMORTAL bodies of flesh and bone like Jesus was given after God raised him from the dead. That brings us to the WAR between our inner man and our outer man which is also called our flesh and the carnal man. For you see, it is only the INNER man who has been created as a new creature. And now, it is our job to RENEW our minds to the word of God and to hide God’s word in our HEART that the TREASURE of ur HEART will become so full of God’s word that we will not sin against God or against our fellow man. There is an old Indian story about two wolfs fighting on the inside of us. There is a good wolf and a bad wolf. And the wolf that will win is the wolf that YOU feed. So if you always continue to feed the lusts of your flesh then your flesh will always win. But if you feed your inner man with the good treasure of God’s word then your inner man will become strong to defeat your flesh each and every time that your flesh is tempted by Satan to sin. Please read the study “HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT SIN!” But for now, I would like to take a brief moment and explain just a little about the “timeline” from the cross to the time when God will create a new heaven and a new earth. I will not take the time to give you all the verses because I have already done that in other studies that I have on the end times and the second coming of Jesus. So then, the New Covenant BEGAN with the shedding of the blood of the Son of man, Jesus, the cross. Then after God raised Jesus from the dead Jesus ascended into heaven and that same evening Jesus returned to the earth with his new glorified immortal body. Jesus remained on the earth for forty days showing himself ALIVE forevermore never to die again. This was the proof that God made him Lord of the Sabbath which means that Jesus will rule FOR Yahweh the Father for 1000 years in the world to come. Then after those forty days, Jesus ascended into heaven where he MUST remain until it is time to restore the kingdom to Israel which will begin AT the second coming of Jesus. After the ascension of Jesus into heaven the second time he sat down at the right hand of the Father on his Father’s throne. Jesus is called our prince right now, but when he returns he will be crowned as the King of kings and the Lord of Lords to be called the God of the WHOLE earth for 1000 years in the world to come. Also, after his ascension, came the Day of Pentecost which was the beginning of the age of the church. The age of the church is also called this PRESENT world. The first believers in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ to become new creatures created in Jesus Christ were all Jews because Jesus told his Apostles to preach the Gospel to the Jews FIRST. Then after about 3 1/2 years of preaching the Gospel to the Jews ONLY then God turned to the Gentiles to provoke those of Israel to jealousy. And right now we are still in the TIME of the Gentiles where mostly only Gentiles will be saved. But this does not mean that Jews cannot be saved during the time of the Gentiles. Then toward the end of the Gentile church age, there will be a 3 1/2 year time of GREAT tribulation. And during this time there will be a great DECEPTION that is so great that if it were possible EVEN the very elect might be deceived. The term ELECT simply means those who have CHOSEN to BELIEVE the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. For you see, God chose EVERYONE to be saved while we were all yet sinners. And then as we choose him then we become his CHOSEN ones who BELIEVE. But also during the great tribulation, I personally believe that there will be many people being saved from all nations including the nation of Israel and the nations of the seed of Ishmael and Esau. Then IMMEDIATELY AFTER the 1260 days of great tribulation will be the rapture of the church. The rapture of the church is also called the JUDGMENT seat of Jesus Christ. It is called the judgment seat of Christ because ONLY those who are found to be faithful IN Jesus Christ will take part in the Rapture of the church to be caught up into the air to meet Jesus in the air over the place called Armageddon to help Jesus execute the WRATH of God on all those who rejected Jesus. And also, God's wrath will be poured out on those Christians who are found unworthy because they disobeyed the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ under the New Covenant written in the New Testament. And also upon the wicked who are making war with God’s people the children of Israel and the Christians. And upon those who are following FALSE gods of the many different religions of the world. And upon those who say that there is NO God. Then during the wrath of God, a REMNANT of the children of Israel will recognize that the armies of angels in the skies over Jerusalem and the one leading those armies in their Messiah Jesus. And when they call upon the name of Jesus to be delivered from their enemies then God will save them ALIVE in their mortal bodies to go into the Millennium or the 1000 year reign of Jesus to be taught the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ and how to be saved by the ONLY NAME given among men whereby we ALL MUST be saved. And at that time God will LIFT his wrath for 1000 years. And those left alive after the first half of God’s wrath will also go into the Millennium to be taught the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ. And ONLY those who were ALREADY IN Jesus Christ BEFORE the rapture will have occurred will be granted the right to eat of the tree of eternal life to rule and reign WITH Jesus over the mortals down on the surface of the earth during the 1000 year reign of Jesus. And during the Millennium Satan will be bound in the bottomless pit for 1000 years so that he can not tempt man during that 1000 year long day of the Lord. Also, during the Millennium the mortals will rebuild the waste cities that will be destroyed during the 3 1/2 years of great tribulation and during the battle of Armageddon. The lifespan of the mortals down on the surface of the earth will be 100 years of age. There will be no sickness, and no diseases, and no premature deaths. All the instruments of WAR will be destroyed and people will not learn war anymore. Farming seems to be the main way of life. The lion will eat hay like the ox and the wolf will lay down with the lambs. And small babies will be able to play with snakes that are deadly in this present world. But in the world to come no animal will harm a human being or another animal. The Millennium will be 1000 years of peace in the kingdom of God’s Son. Then after the 1000 year reign of Jesus, Satan will be let loose out of the bottomless pit. And Satan will go about one final time to DECEIVE the nations to make WAR against the people of God who became Christians DURING the Millennium. Then the second half of God’s wrath will come down from heaven to devour the wicked people who will be obeying Satan’s temptation to learn to make WAR one final time. And after the second half of God’s wrath is poured out at the end of the Millennium then the second and final resurrection will take place. And the REST of the dead all the way from Adam to those who will have died during the FINAL war will be resurrected who did NOT take part in the FIRST resurrection that will have taken place at the time of the rapture of the Church right BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus. And during this second and final resurrection, ANOTHER book of life will be opened. And whosoever is NOT found written in THAT book of life will be cast alive, SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY into the lake of fire to be destroyed. And there will be WEEPING and GNASHING of teeth by those who will KNOW that they could have had ETERNAL LIFE if only they would have BELIEVED in the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then after the final Day of Judgment, the city of God called the New Jerusalem will come down from the sky where it will be during the 1000 year reign of Jesus. And God himself will come down with his city to dwell with his RIGHTEOUS new creation. God will create a new heaven and the new earth because the old heaven and the old earth will pass away with great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat. There will be a flaming fire at the COMING of Jesus during the first half of God’s wrath but heaven and earth will not pass away until ALL is fulfilled at the END of the Millennium during the second half of God’s wrath. Now, all the Christians will be safe in the city of God, the New Jerusalem, when both halves of God’s wrath are poured out. We are not specifically told as a fact without any need of interpretation that there will be another rapture at the END of the Millennium but I believe that if Revelation chapter 11 is interpreted correctly, then it teaches us of a second rapture at the end of the Millennium for those who will be saved DURING the Millennium.
