Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

The Lamb's Book of Life and the Lake of Fire

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie:
but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life”



The One and Only Basis of a man's Entry into Heaven, and his Deliverance from the Lake of Fire.
Take careful note; mark it well.
Everything else are just plain lies.

=============================

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life” (Rev 21:27).

This verse is about getting into heaven.

If you have ever done anything that was not holy ... anything that defiles ... any sin of any kind ... you are not getting in.

Can you understand the Holy Spirit’s words? ... in no wise ... will you get in. Do you understand the certainty of your rejection?

Have you ever told a lie? ... implied a lie? ... exaggerated a lie? ... you are not getting in ... it is that simple ... and it is final!

Sin has ruined you!

Adam’s sin in Eden ... your sins ... yesterday’s sins ... tomorrow’s sins.

Sin has ruined you!

Do you understand the damning consequences of sin?

Sin has ruined you!

You must go to hell ... you cannot be allowed in heaven ... for it is the holy presence of God.

But there is a glimmer of hope ... those found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will get in!

What does the Book of Life mean? ... It is the list of all those God has elected to eternal life.

What does Lamb mean? ... It is the name of Jesus Christ used by John the Baptist to describe His sacrifice for sin.

John the Baptist declared ... Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Two thousand years ago a Man came to undo Adam’s sin and your sins ... so you can get into heaven.

You can know you will get into heaven by believing on Him and keeping His commandments for your life.

Hallelujah! ... What a Saviour! ... O Happy Day! ... Jesus took our sins away!

Rev 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The one and only basis of your deliverance from the lake of fire is that your name was found written in the Lamb's book of life. He ALONE did everything necessary to qualify you for heaven.

And the names were written from the foundation of the world, and not when you believe!

Rev 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
("from the foundation of the world" qualifies the word "written" and not slain. The latter is a popular fable.)
