Jesus Christ is our sabbath! Rest!

Jesus Christ is and gives us the True Sabbath!


““Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NASB1995


“Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me, And saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was angry with this generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they did not know My ways’; As I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ” 


Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. 


But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, while it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”


 For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬-‭19‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬


“For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, “As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest,” although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. 


For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; and again in this passage, “They shall not enter My rest.” Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, He again fixes a certain day, “Today,” saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.” For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬-‭11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬


““Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬



“Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.””

‭‭Mark‬ ‭2‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬


“Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day— things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Eternal security: Truth or a Lie

  Eternal security, aTruth or a Lie   Why is it an important doctrine, as it can lead to someone taking lightly biblical warnings about sin and the devil. If one is an overcomer and one believes in eternal security, it is not dangerous to him because he is having a genuine faith. It however matters what you believe if you are teaching others which can cause them to take salvation for granted by practicing a sinful lifestyle.  Many who believe in eternal security quote the following verse Romans 8: 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love . Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.   Response:  Nothing can separate us from the love of God except our own will and sin ! Our own will chose salvation. Our own will, will lead to separation and rejection .  2 Timothy 2: 11-13  11 It is a trustworth...

Truth Vs Lie is it ok to lie for a good purpose, if it does not harm anyone? Lets look at what the word of God says about lies.

Truth Vs Lie   I have noticed over the last 38 years especially amongst  Christians  there is a lot of “ white” lies and half truths . To understand how living in Truth or living in lies impacts one’s life and destiny we will have to dive in to the word. To understand something we need to have clear definition, Clarity is the key.   Let’s look at what the  word of God  calls as Truth.   1)    Jesus is the Truth   John 14:6 6  Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Conclusion:  Jesus is the Truth  2)    The Word of God is the Truth John 17:17 17  Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.  3)   Jesus is the Word John 1:14 14  And the Word became flesh, and  [ a ] dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of  [ b ] the only begotten from the Father, full of grace a...

Biblical marriage.

Many churches have conformed to the world’s perspective on marriage and divorce. In today’s culture marriage is not a covenant until death do us apart. People try to find “just causes” and “reasons” to divorce their spouses. In the scripture divorce is unacceptable to God. He in fact hates it. Marriage is for life. It’s not easy to be married to a difficult person which is why we have to be careful who we choose to marry. But once we are married to that person it’s a relationship for life. Until death separates us. Here are some scriptures that make this very clear. We can choose to ignore it; find people who agree with us, go to churches that turn a blind eye to our disobedience but one day we will stand before God and answer him for the lives we have lived. Marriage a union established by God. “And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be jo...
