"But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak. For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced." (Matthew 12:36-37)

"For the *grace of God has appeared to all human being*, bringing salvation for all people, this same grace trains/teaches us how to renounce/resist/reject ungodliness/sin/temptations and worldly passions/thoughts/desires/imaginations, and this same grace teaches/trains us how to live self-controlled, righteous, and holy lives in the present age(world/generation/country/marriage/job/business/talents/skills/offices/vocation/unmarried-state), this same grace teaches/trains how to wait for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you." (Titus 2:11-15)

Let all of us always pray for this grace and use this grace each moment of our lives then we shall remain without sin till our biological death or the second coming of Jesus Christ and become a vessel usable for the glory of God on this earth till eternity.

There is no level that you attain in your relationship with Jesus Christ Crucified that you do not need to humble yourself always to approach the throne of grace to obtain mercy and have grace to help in times of need (Hebrews 4:16) because each second that ticks on earth is a time of need whether you are in affluence or in physical lack, whether you are currently passing through unbearable situations in human calculations or happy moments.

When our words, thoughts, actions, fashion and deeds begin to arouse sexual immorality or begin to engage our minds or other parts of our bodies in different activities and decisions without seeking to know whether they are *pleasing to Jesus Christ Crucified; Our SAVIOUR* then we need to check whether we are still heading towards Heaven or Hell-fire ?

"But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations, and as for murderers and the sexual-immoral and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)—[all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death." (Revelation 21:8 )

"But nothing that defiles or profanes or is unwashed shall ever enter it(Heaven), nor anyone who commits abominations (unclean, detestable, morally repugnant things) or practices falsehood, but only those whose names are recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life." (Revelation 21:27)

"So then, brethren, we are debtors, but *not to the flesh [we are not obligated to our carnal nature/immoral-jokes- thoughts/words/fashion/business/relationships/activities/lifestyle], to live [a life ruled by the standards set up by the dictates] of the flesh.* For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die(eternal damnation in hell-fire). But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." (Romans 8:12-14)

"For if we searchingly examined ourselves [detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition], we should not be judged and penalty decreed [by the divine judgment]. But when we [fall short and] are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined and chastened, so that we may not [finally] be condemned [to eternal punishment along] with the world." (1 Corinthian 11:31-33)
Great Grace Brethren!!!

You do not worship God, with your free-will or in your own method like Adam because it will lead you to doing what Adam did (disobedience to God's instructions) but God has given us *His own free-will* through the LIFE of His Only begotten Son Jesus Christ who He offered to us on the Cross *as a replacement/exchange for our old-self* so that we can *have God's free-will to worship God as Jesus did when He was on earth* such that the Father gave this testimony at His baptism and transfiguration "This is my beloved Son in whom *I am well pleased, listen/follow HIM*" (Matthew 3:17, 17:5) hence anything that anybody is doing to impress himself or other human beings or even trying to impress God is *displeasing to God* as long as it is not *Jesus doing it through you* no matter how *spiritualised it appears to that person or to the whole world appreciating such things*

God is One Being with 3-different personality (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) yet One God not 3-Gods *united in one being* and this is called the *Christian doctrine of the Trinity*. This means the Father is God, Jesus Christ the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God but not 3-Gods rather One God. This is one bible passage that reflects the trinity "The grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God(the Father) and the presence and fellowship (the communion and sharing together, and participation) in the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen (so be it)." (2 Cor. 13:14)

Trinity -- Introduction
The historic teaching of the Church is that there is one God who exists in three Persons -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This teaching has come to be called the Trinity doctrine.

Shortly after the New Testament was completed, some began to think that it made more sense to believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are really three manifestations of the same Person appearing in different modes. This doctrine has come to be called Modalism. In the last century, a modern form of Modalism is often called the 'Oneness' or 'Jesus only' doctrine.
