in the ekklesia(assembly/body of born again set apart righteous believers right with God), we overcome by the word of their testimony and the blood of the lamb.
and our testimony its true.
and rare.
like the title says "everyone".... not many are saved.... "everyone does what is right in their own eyes".
the testimony that overcomes, by sheer grace, for each one of us in the body of Christ Jesus,
is that the world knows us not any longer - we were once of the world, and the world knew us and had us.
many of us were in 'religion' , many in 'christendom' religiously or in other religion(s); not in christ.
many of us were just out there, not in any group.
then someone alive prayed for us. (not someone dead - that is great deception and totally requires repentance for those who think the dead can pray or intercede for them; it is a doctrine of demons).
and yahweh answered the prayer, and drew us to himself in yahshua hamashiach, by his plan, his purpose
and his good pleasure - to have the lamb of yahweh die for us and be raised again, and deliver us from our sin.
religious leaders now, still,
increase their wickedness every day,
their sin growing more and more, purposefully hindering those
who are seeking the kingdom of heaven.
those who find the kingdom of heaven, are born again through jesus christ, set apart for his purpose in
the gospel, called and chosen by yahweh since before the creation of the world and all in it;
and they are , and we are, persecuted just as yahweh's WORD says , because the world hates us, and
cannot comprehend us, just as it could not comprehend JESUS nor recognize HIM.
