How to Become a Bride of Jesus

How to Become a Bride of Jesus

Jesus is coming soon for his bride, a bride without spot, wrinkle or blemish.

To become a bride of Jesus Christ, the following are essential:

Spend a lot of time praying and having a daily relationship with Him. Let Jesus be the center of your life not just sometimes but always. You cannot please God without fearing Him.

You must place God above everyone and everything in your life (Luke 14:26-27). Live a holy life by the Word of God. Walk a narrow path (Matthew 7:14) and endure hardship as a soldier of the Lord (2 Timothy 2:3)

Great work for God alone will not qualify anyone for the Kingdom of God (Matthew 7:22-23). 

The most important qualification is our obedience and love (Matthew 5:19) (Mark 12:30-31) (John 14:23-24).

If we love Him, we must forgive others (1 John 2:11) and we must separate from the world (Romans 12:1-2) (2 Corinthians 6:14-18) (1 John 2:15-16). 

No unforgiving person will enter into the Kingdom of God (Matthew 6:14-15). Love others enough to witness to them to be saved.

Receiving Jesus into our life by faith is not enough. In addition to this a pure heart is required (Matthew 5:8) (Ephesians 5:27) and holiness (Hebrews 12:14)

Give up all worldly habits and the modern day idols such as worldly things on television and worldly music. 

We cannot love both God and the world together (James 4:4) (1 John 2:15-17)

Doing What Is Right Before God?

Message: Doing what is right before God? 

Texts: (Deuteronomy 6:18) (2 Chronicles 14:2)

Deuteronomy 6:18 says,

‘’And thou shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers.’’

Are you doing what is right and good in the sight of the Lord your God (Deuteronomy 6:18)

Are you focusing on the things that are eternal? (Colossians 3:2)

Are you a friend of the world or a friend of God? (James 4:4) (1 John 2:15-17)

Are you serving God and Mammon together? (Matthew 6:24)

Are you living for the flesh alone? (Romans 8:13)

Do you love your neighbor as yourself? (Matthew 22:36-37)

Are you pleasing men above God? (Matthew 10:28)

Do you seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness? (Matthew 6:33)

Do you study the Word of God? (Joshua 1:8)

Do you have a regular and effective prayer life? (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

Do you apply the teachings of the Holy Scriptures (Ecclesiastes 12:13)

Are the secret sins, the little sins, the besetting sins still dominating you? (Hebrews 12:1)

Are you polluting your relations with God with idols? (Exodus 20:5)

Do you place the things of the flesh above the things of the Spirit? (Romans 8:13) (Galatians 5:16-17)

Or do you despise the things of the Spirit? (Genesis 25:29-34)

Do you preach the gospel of salvation? (Mark 16:15)

Have you genuinely converted to Christ? (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Or are you playing church and playing religion? (Matthew 7:21) (Matthew 13:15)

Or do you repent without conversion? (Acts 3:19)

Or do you confess without forsaking the sins confessed? (Proverbs 28:13)

Do you please the World above God (Exodus 23:2) (Luke 16:15)

Remember, that the majority are doing a thing does not make it right. God is not a democrat and His Kingdom is not a democracy where the majority is always right. 

Once the Word of God something is wrong, it can never be right though millions and billions of people are indulging in it.

Remember the Broad Way to everlasting destruction in Matthew 7:13 where the overwhelming majority threads every day? 

Remember also the Narrow Way to everlasting life where a few thread? (Matthew 7:14)

Examine your life whether you are still in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:15)

God forces no one to follow Him and obey His Word. But every man will give an account of his freewill choices someday which will determine where he will spend his eternity, either in Heaven with Christ or in Eternal Hell with the Devil (2 Corinthians 5:10) (Hebrews 9:27)

Act now, because no one knows when the end will come (2 Corinthians 6:2). Remember that not all those who went to bed last night woke up alive today.

The choice is yours!
