The Only Kind Of Relationship With Jesus That Will Save Anyone by jesusjnr2020(op): 8:31am On Aug 09
The Only Kind Of Relationship With Jesus That Will Save Anyone

It's only a relationship in which Jesus is Lord over the person's life, decisions and actions.

The kind of relationship that the person doesn't only call Jesus Lord with the mouth and lips, but also keeps His Word and Commandments.

That's the only kind of relationship Jesus recognizes and would commit Himself to.

John 14:23 (KJV)

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John 14:21 (KJV)

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 15:10 (KJV)

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Any other kind of relationship is null and void before Jesus and wouldn't be acknowledged by Him when His day comes.

God bless.

Therefore instead of telling people just to have a relationship with Jesus, tell them the kind of relationship with Jesus that will truly save them and make Him to acknowledge them at the end when it really matters.

Jesus, who is the True Vine, spoke about branches attached to Him that would be cut off because they don't bear fruit.

John 15:1-2 (KJV)

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.


The fruit is the obedience of the Word of God (Jesus), because that's how the (sown) Word bears fruit.

Luke 8:15 (KJV)

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Many have a relationship with Jesus, as Jesus Himself speaks to them, even appear to them in dreams and visions, some are even anointed and signs which Jesus said would follow His believers follow them.

However despite that, they don't keep His Word, hence are no different from the branches Jesus spake of which are in Him, but do not bear fruit, hence would taken away by the Father.

So it's important that the kind of relationship we have with Jesus isn't a fruitless one, but one which we bear fruit by keeping His Word.

That's the only kind of relationship with Jesus that will save anyone on that day.

God bless.
Re: The Only Kind Of Relationship With Jesus That Will Save Anyone by philiancoop(m):
Jesus said it is almost impossible for a rich man to enter heaven. Why are you working and attempting to acquire resources?

Modified:

Dtruthspeaker:
Since when did acquiring resources mean riches? Is it that you don't know the meaning of riches? If you don't know, go and learn
What makes someone rich? It's Money. If you keep working everything day on a job that pays you money. You keep improving, climbing up with pay ladder. What do you think you will get more of ? Money. And rich is in levels. You are closer to peller in wealth than peller is closer to Elon. To Elon, peller is poor like you. That means to some very poor people you are rich.

And you keep waking up to go to work or your business to acquire more money. You are Rich and heaven is far from you.


NB. This sounds ridiculous because it is. You people don't think with your brain. You've misinterpreted Jesus words. Because he speaks in riddles, parables, and figures of speech. That's why preachers will continue to eat on your head

NB2. Jesus was attaching the self sufficiency of the self righteous man. It was never about money. It was about the man who trusted in his own righteousness and not in the Grace of God.... Which is free and available to all.

My problem has always been the lack of relationship of Jesus with his parents.

Not a good role model at all.

Who were the bride and bridegroom in that wedding? Fake wedding!

Why didn't you talk about where he called his mum "woman" in the wedding reception?

And Jesus's relationship when he was 12 year old in Luke. And also in Mark where they called him out of his mind! Very poor relationship!

Why are you contradicting yourself

If there was no wedding, you shouldn't worry about him addressing his mum in a wedding reception grin

so do you believe that the love of God is conditionally and not unconditional

The condition being that you obey Him

A wedding in which His mother took Him to and showed her authority over Him, yet the dev said that He did not have a good relationship with His parents

Didn't he say that after telling a rich man to go give everything to the poor and come and follow him, Jesus

If e free, why Jesus give the man that harsh condition?
Re: The Only Kind Of Relationship With Jesus That Will Save Anyone by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:53am On Aug 09
Jesus encouraged his friends to cement their relationship with his own father not him {Matthew 6:6} but they can only do so through what he taught them. Matthew 17:5

That's the reason why he always pray in private to his father teaching us whom we need to have a relationship with. Matthew 14:23

He told Mary Magdalene:

“Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God." John 20:17

So Jesus is our brother with whom we worship the same God and Father!

Relationship with Jesus cannot take you to even except you stop worshipping Jesus

Only God is fit for worship and not Jesus who is a messenger and prophet like Abraham, Moses, David, Muhammad etc

Read your Bible and stop pastors from lying to you

Not yet.

Yes, it is foreseeable that he would make it if he continues so to the end.

Then, of course people do not want to understand why the rich man would never make it

Kai, see how your love for riches has made you insalt me.

Meanwhile, the statement that a camel will pass through a needles even before a rich man can has already told you everything you need to know, if you truly want to know, which those who heard it got and exclaimed "ah! that means no one can make it".

And for examples, how many rich men in your street, state, country or world follow God? Even your rich pastors have already missed it.

Its not love for riches...I am just the type that love say it the way scriputure put it.

Infact, the scripture didn't say money is the root of all evil

The camel and needle is a figure of speech called hyperbole

And yes, it's a figure of speech just like a stitch in time, which everyone gets. So, saying it's a figure of speech has no value if you refuse to accept it's message and lesson

The love of money

1st Tim 6:10

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Never said figure of speech has no value. You just exposed yourself not knowing the meaning of figure of speech despite the attachment
