So, we know it's a
simple phrase
children can easily do, but,
Scripturally, are
we
telling them
The Truth? Jesus Did Say "let the little children come to Me,"
so just wondering, IF:
A) Jer 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:
who can know it?"
Should we "ask Jesus to come into that"?
YES. He is the One who CHANGES our hearts and minds. He renews our mind, and
Psalm 34:18
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” The Good News: Though you may feel defeated, God is closer than you realize. He is always with you and can heal your heart.
B) Mat 15:19 "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies" (cp Mar 7:21-22)
Why would "
God,
The HOLY One, The LORD Jesus Christ, Want to come into such
evil and
filth"?
So he can SAVE US. Jesus DIED for our sins and wants to come into our heart to get rid of the "evil and filth."
1) Repent (change mind about sin/agree With God "it is
Wrong!") or perish
(Luk 13:3,5 Mar 1:4 Luk_3:3, 24:47}
+
2) believe the gospel of the kingdom (Mat 4:23, 9:35, 24:14; Mar 1:14,15)
+
3) be baptized
"For the remission of sin" (Mar 1:4 Luk_3:3,
7:29:30 24:47;
Act 2:38)
What about the people that don't have time to be baptized before death? Many people don't get saved until they are dying. You can't expect them to do all of this before death, if they are in their last moments.
+
4) "show works meet for repentance" (Mat 3:8),
because,
+
5) "to the twelve tribes of Israel," "faith
Without works is dead"
GOD wrote the Bible thru others, HE made the words and put them together, placing them into their minds.. It seems as if you are trying to change the meaning of the Bible?
It says Ephesians 2: 8-9 [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
VERSE 10 MEANING I FOUND: However, this important statement offers tremendous insight into what God desires after salvation. God calls us His workmanship or His artwork, from the Greek word poiēma. We are something crafted, with skill and a purpose, by God, for His purposes. Specifically, we are "created in Christ Jesus for good works." Good works do not give us salvation, but they are absolutely meant to be the result of salvation.
Salvation, bringing Jesus into your heart, CHANGES YOU. It makes people want to do works, in order to GLORIFY God. It is saying we were created to do good works. It doesn't say we have to do good works in order to be saved.
These are God's words, in my opinion, we shouldn't try changing them or think about how they could be improved, because they actually cannot. God is the highest. He is perfection. You don't need to change something that is PERFECT ALREADY.
(Jam 1:1, 2:17,26)
+
6) "keep the commandments" to "enter life" (Mat 19:17)
Humans are sinful by nature. It is impossible for anyone, other than Jesus, to be perfect. Maybe add "try to" in the front of your number 6.

7) "one thing thou lackest...sell ALL/take up cross/follow Jesus"
(Mar 10:17-23):
earthly prophecy/LAW/covenants (
Previous dispensation of God... )
Rightly Divided (
2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That
Differ” (
online)
Glorified Christ, From Heaven, To ONE
apostle and
His 'ONE Body,' Under Grace /
Mystery (
Current Dispensation of God ):
1) Repent (
change mind about sin/agree With God "it is
Wrong!"):
"Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, ↑ repentance toward God,
and ↓ faith toward our LORD Jesus Christ." (
Acts 20:21)
2) believe (with ALL the
heart, trust, place 100% faith in)
The Gospel Of The
Grace Of God:
"For I delivered unto you first of all That Which I also received, how That
Christ
Died for our sins According To The Scriptures; And That He Was Buried,
and that He Rose Again the third day According To The Scriptures"
3) "
By Grace Are ye
Saved Through faith..."

works, but According To His Own Purpose And Grace, Which Was Given us

The LORD ( With Grace And Mercy!!! ) Is All we need
Today to
Be Saved!! Amen!
Also Three Tenses Of God's
Deliverance (Salvation) + good works for
rewards:
Grace, Peace, And JOY In Christ, And In His Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided (+
