There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. John 1:6-7
Now “Faith comes by Hearing…” Hearing who? Not just any man, …Butt, “A Man Sent From God, whose name was John!”
Why was he sent? John was sent as a witness… “To bear witness of The Light.”
What was his purpose? John was sent… “To prepare the way of the Lord, and to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
For whom was he sent? John was sent for Christ, and for all men (including you!)… “That ALL MEN through him might believe.”
How was he sent? John the Baptist was sent in “The power and spirit of Elijah.” Jesus ranked him greatest of all the prophets… “Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist!” Luke 7:28
You can read all of this for yourself in the Gospel of Luke!
The Gospel or “Good News” of the New Testament begins with John the Baptist! Before the people knew about Jesus, John started preparing “The Way of the Lord,” and “Preparing the People” to receive the Lord — Jesus Christ!
John gave his life for the cause of Christ and yet not one of these so-called “Ministers” even mentions his name! They keep “The Truth” well hidden…
Jesus plainly said, “Those who hear, believe, and are baptized will be saved.” Jesus did not come to save himself. His salvation was already secured; He came to save YOU!
John was a witness. Christ’s Words and Works were a witness. God’s own voice, heard at Christ’s Baptism, was a witness. Christ’s Death and Resurrection are an Eternal Witness…How many witnesses does a person need? In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 2nd Corinthians 13:1
Abraham believed God by looking at part of God’s Handiwork, the Stars! All of Creation; the Sun, Moon, and Stars, are a Testimony (a witness) to His Truth, and they are plain for everyone to see…
Do you think our Loving Father sent John and Jesus to bear witness to His Truth, and to die for His Truth, so these False Profits Pastors, Teachers, and Televangelists could teach “Doctrines of Demons” to make money?
Jesus said to His Father, “I have finished the work which you gave me to do.” John 17:4 So why would you pay some one else for the work John, Jesus, Paul, and all the other apostles did? What is it that these other men have done to earn your attention, your time, your talents, your money, your adoration, and your worship? For over 2000 years Satan and his “Ministers” have “Capitalized” on Christ’s “Finished Work” on the cross… Are you so heartless as to think it is OK for anyone to benefit financially from Christ’s Death? …The death of John the Baptist? …The deaths of the apostles?
Judas “Profited” from Christ’s death! You can read for yourself what it got him!… In Ezekiel 28 you can learn about Satan — Lucifer, Where he came from and where he will end. Then decide how far you are going to follow his “Ministers of Righteousness!”
God gave you a Book of Truth you can read for yourself! A sound mind to understand it! A Name you can call your own! And a place where He and His Son will reveal Themselves to you…In Your Own Home!!!
Truly it is as Jesus said, “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make our abode with him…“ Try this for yourself. You will discover you are the church, you are The Temple of Christ and God!
I’m so glad I found this
it helps to understand johns purpose for his preaching and teaching of the coming of christ why he got thrown in jail for his preaching how strong his faith and belief is in God our creator.
