| Consequences Of Sin And Forgiveness: Lesson 13: Completely Whole 1/11/2014 by turtle John 5:6-29 KJV (6) When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? (7) The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. (8) Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. (9) And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. (10) The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. (11) He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. (12) Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? (13) And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. (14) Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. (15) The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. (16) And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. (17) But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. (18) Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. (19) Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. (20) For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. (21) For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. (22) For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: (23) That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. (24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (25) Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (26) For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; (27) And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. (28) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, (29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. Are you made whole? How many sick people receive Christ without physical healing. There limbs gone, back aches, or some strange rare illness takes over their body. Yet people are still spiritually healed despite their ailments. Others are healed physically and spiritually upon belief. Have we given up sinning upon receiving Christ as Lord and Savior or are we continuing in sin. Paul tells us to walk by the Spirit in Romans 8, but few people when just saved truly understand about walking by the Spirit of God. It something learned by the Holy Spirit upon salvation through belief in Jesus. God commanded us to believe to have faith in his Word. Jesus came in the flesh so that the Word of God could be fully seen. The man in the story upon receiving his healing went into the temple to worship God, to show himself to the elders in accordance with the religious law. Yet the leaders and elders understood not who healed him. I sometimes wonder how dumb religious leaders can be. Either they are believers or they are not. In this case it appears they had unbelief. Yet the man was whole and they could not tell who the author of the healing was. Today we have religious zealots questioning healings, and one has to ask are they religious or the antichrist. God heals today like he did back then. The antichrist wonders and miracles are all down with fakery, not with power from God, but power through deception. Deception being one of the hardest things for most to grasp as not being God, because it mimics or looks like the real deal. Yet with careful evaluation it can and will be disproved if not over time. God’s healing power is real. It not fake, and it last unless sin returns in the area that caused the lack of healing in the first place. If it reoccurs and worse should befall you, then you better repent and turn away from the sin in your life. If you not aware of what you were doing you better find out, before it is to late. God does not save us to keep one sinning. God saves us to set us free from sin and corruption in our life. No the priest knew not who healed this man, Jesus confronts the man with his unbelief and then the priest The man and priest then was given a warning. A warning that is for all of God’s children that receives Jesus as Lord. This was a warning also in the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament. Sin in a believers life is dangerous to a believer earthly situation. Not to their eternal security of going to heaven. Our disobedience to God can cost us. Those that escaped from 911 building were they believers with their purpose not finished in life. Were those that were suppose to be in New York but else where did they escape by the will of God, or because of knowledge of a terrorist attack. My question how are these people living today after surviving. Did those that die was it their time to die, or was it sin of disobedience that caused their injuries and even death? Do we know the answer, the answer is no. What we do know is the devils attack our soil on that day. Yet the battle was already being raged in cell groups across our land and stealing even the souls of our children. There many that believe in God but receive not the word of God, the devil even believes and trembles. The consequences for sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life with Jesus Christ our Lord. Even the devil believes God’s word, but does not obey it or receive it. If we all are in disbelief at one time or another, then we have to ask ourselves how important is that cross of Jesus for eternal salvation, very important. He promises us a home in heaven. Our job is to obey His Spirit, to follow His word. The man that was crippled sin was unbelief, why because he knew not who had healed him, but that he was healed. Truth you got to decide is your healing going to come through Jesus or are you going to try and make it on your own. I know which path will fail, do you? God ways is best allowing his salvation to protect you. Dear Heavenly Father may you guide our footsteps as we understand how important your salvation is through belief in Christ Jesus our Lord. In Jesus precious name, Amen. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
