What or who exactly is the Word? The Word is Jesus Christ Himself! He was with God from everlasting to everlasting because God the Father and Jesus the Son are one. They are both God! God created everything through Him and in Him (Jesus) is the light and the life. The light that shines for humanity. The Word became flesh and came to earth to live among men and to serve men and to experience being a human being. He humbled Himself and did everything for the glory and honor of God the Father. He also died for us on the cross to pay for our penalty and forgive us our sins by shedding His Holy and Righteous blood! This is because all people born after Adam and Eve are sinners due to their disobedience to God and eating from the forbidden fruit which God forbid them to eat. No one is excluded. We are all sinners and have fallen short of His glory. If you deny that you are a sinner then you say that God is a liar and God is not able to lie!1 John 1:8-108 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.Turn to God and admit you are a sinner. Ask Him for forgiveness and accept His Son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Believe in Him and trust Him that He died for your sins and was buried and rose again on the third day. Resurrected by God the Father. Because if you keep living in your sinful way then you will be eternally separated from God and will suffer eternally in Hell. God loves you and does not want this! He wants to save you. If you confess your sins God will forgive you and if you accept Jesus Christ He will not turn you away but accept you with open arms and grant you salvation. In Jesus name, Amen!https://www.biblestudytools.com/nlt/john/1.html

The following bible scriptures from Romans and Jude are very important! It shows us that there are false teachers among us who spread around lies and try to deceive you with their so called new "religion". Today in our world we see that this is happening around us. It is called progressive Christianity and it is all around us today. Be aware of this perverted "religion" that has all kinds of weird and twisted ideas about Christianity and about God and Jesus. Stay true to God, Jesus Christ and the truth and turn away from sin after being saved and do not believe the so called scoffers. God loves you all no matter what you did and He will forgive you if you repent and ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. God bless you! Amen!Romans 6:1-4. What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.Jude 11 This letter is from Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of James. I am writing to all who have been called by God the Father, who loves you and keeps you safe in the care of Jesus Christ.2 May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love.3 Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people.4 I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.5 So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful.6 And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great day of judgment.7 And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment.8 In the same way, these people—who claim authority from their dreams—live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at supernatural beings.9 But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses’ body.)10 But these people scoff at things they do not understand. Like unthinking animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and so they bring about their own destruction.11 What sorrow awaits them! For they follow in the footsteps of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they deceive people for money. And like Korah, they perish in their rebellion.12 When these people eat with you in your fellowship meals commemorating the Lord’s love, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you. They are like shameless shepherds who care only for themselves. They are like clouds blowing over the land without giving any rain. They are like trees in autumn that are doubly dead, for they bear no fruit and have been pulled up by the roots.13 They are like wild waves of the sea, churning up the foam of their shameful deeds. They are like wandering stars, doomed forever to blackest darkness.14 Enoch, who lived in the seventh generation after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said, “Listen! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of his holy ones15 to execute judgment on the people of the world. He will convict every person of all the ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”16 These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want.17 But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted.18 They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires.19 These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them.20 But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit,21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.22 And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.24 Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.25 All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

There are false teachers/apostles in the world right now who try to bring you the good news but their news is not the right news. It is false news. News that will not save you after you die. They claim you can be saved in various ways. We should be careful not to listen to such people but instead listen to the word of God in the bible. His words are truth. There is only one way to be saved. That is through faith in Jesus Christ our Savior who died for us on the cross to forgive us of our sins. Many of these false teachers exist today and try to deceive you.Jeremia 14:14Then the Lord said, these prophets are telling lies in My name. I did not send them or tell them to speak. I did not give them any messages. They prophesy of visions and revelations they have never seen or heard. They speak foolishness made up in their own lying hearts.Romans 16:17-18And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people's faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.1 Timothy 4:1Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.Galatians 1:6I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.

Here is some scripture of the gospel of Jesus Christ. (i could only upload 4 images so the last image is unfortunately missing). No matter what you did wrong, God loves you and wants to forgive you and save you. Confess your sins to Him, admit you are a sinner and ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. Believe in Jesus and that He died for you on the cross and was buried and rose again on the third day ressurected by God the Father. Also get baptized by immersion just like Jesus was baptized by John the baptist.Matthew 16:24-26Then Jesus said to his disciples: 'Whoever wants to belong to me should not consider himself important. He must take up his cross and follow me. Because whoever wants to save his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life because of Me will save it. What good is it to you to gain the whole world and lose your life? And what could you give in exchange for your life?(We should not follow the worldly pleasures but instead do what Christ did while He was on earth. Help other people, be humble, not taking honour for yourself for things but give glory to God, be generous to others, turn away from sin, spread the gospel etc)Romans 5:17For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ. (Because of Adam we are all sinners from the day we were born and therefore guilty in God's eyes but because of Jesus Christ we can be righteous again in God's eyes and be saved)1 Corinthians 15:21So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man. (The first man was Adam a physical being born from dust by God. The second Adam was a spiritual man (Jesus Christ/God) who came from heaven through the virgin Mary by whom we can be saved if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior and believe in Him)John 3:16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.Ephesians 1:13-14And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of His glory.

Do you feel like you are not worth saving by God? Do your thoughts tell you that you are worthless or too stained to be forgiven? As a Christian do your guilty thoughts from your sinful past block you from praying or believing and perhaps you think that God has given up on you or has not accepted you after you confessed and accepted Christ? It is all a lie from hell and satan. God loves you unconditionally and He will forgive you no matter what you did. After you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior you are saved. Turn to God, confess your sins, and accept Jesus Christ His Son as your Lord and Savior and God will forgive you. Turn to God before it is too late. Your life is in God's hands. He decides when your time will be. Tomorrow is not promised. Because after we die we will either spend eternity in heaven or hell according to the choice you made. You are either with God or against God. You accepted Him or you rejected Him. Only through Jesus Christ can we be saved from our sinful nature. He is the way, the truth and the life, the only way to the Father. Amen! John 3:16For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.1 John 1:9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.James 4:14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanisheshttps://youtu.be/vjRdnzg7OY0?feature=shared

Today i want to talk about doing good deeds or works. Will you go to heaven because you are a good person? Or because you do good deeds? Or do good works? No you will not!The only way is through accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and have faith in Jesus Christ!The bible it makes this crystal clear:Ephesians 2:8-9"For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast."Galatians 3:22"But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ."Titus 3:5“He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.”Galatians 2:16“Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.”John 14:6“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."Romans 11:6“But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.”2 Corinthians 5:21“For our sake he made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”1 John 5:13“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”In conclusion:Does this mean that we do not have to do any good deeds or works as a Christian? No it does not. Because of our faith in Jesus Christ and because we want to follow Him we automatically want to do good things for others. We want to help people. Do good works and deeds and be loving to each other because God loves us. The bible also tells us that without works our faith is dead. We have to be helpful and kind to people and we also want to thank God for saving us and giving us eternal life.James 2:17“So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”1 John 3:18“Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”Colossians 3:23-24“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”Ephesians 4:32“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

Today i want to post verses from Proverbs, and one from Romans. The verses say that you have to turn away from sin and admit to God you are a sinner and trust in Him and not yourself.Turn to God and be saved! Turn to the Lord and admit and repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior! We are all sinners in God's eyes. From the day we were born we are sinners. This is because of Adam and Eve not listening and trusting God and eating from the forbidden fruit in the beginning (Genesis 3:15).Because of this they were sinful to God and became eternally separated from God. All people born after Adam and Eve are automatically sinful in God's eyes. Even after our birth we also willingly commit sins (stealing, lying, murder, adultery etc). But God loves us so much and does not want us to be eternally separated from Him after we die (suffer eternally in hell).This is why He sent His only Son Jesus (John 1:14) as a human of flesh and blood to earth to die for us on the cross and to bear our sins and take on the punishment for Himself for all people in the world. He cleanses us with His blood that He shed on the cross. If we turn to God and admit our sins to Him and regret them and ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus His Son as our Lord and Savior you will be forgiven all your sins from the past, present and future. Believe that Jesus died for you and shed His blood for you in your place and that He was dead for 2 days and on the third day rose again (1 Corinthians 15:3) All people can be saved. Even if you think you are beyond saving, God can do the impossible! (Matthew 19:26)Proverbs 28:13"People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy."Proverbs 28:14"Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble."Proverbs 28:18"The blameless will be rescued from harm, but the crooked will be suddenly destroyed."Proverbs 28:26"Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe."Romans 6:23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

We celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ! He came to earth as a human of flesh and blood and was born of the virgin Mary. As a humble baby he laid in a manger in Bethlehem. But fully God and fully man also. He died for us on the cross for our sins and paid our penalty to make it right between us and God the Father and cleanses us with His Holy blood that He shed for us on the cross. Amen and Merry Christmas everyone and also blessings from God for 2026!Lucas 2:8-20That night an angel of God came to some shepherds who were staying overnight in the fields and keeping watch over their flock. The appearance of the angel lit up the surroundings with a bright light. The shepherds trembled with fear, but the angel reassured them. 'Do not be afraid,' he said, 'for I bring you the most wonderful news you have ever heard.' It is big news for all people. Today in Bethlehem the Savior is born: Christ, the Lord. I will tell you how to recognize Him: the child is lying in swaddling clothes in a manger. Suddenly, a multitude of other angels appeared with the angel, praising God. It was a heavenly host. 'Glory to God in the highest,' they sang. 'Peace on earth to people who live according to His will.' As soon as the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, 'Come! Let's go quickly to Bethlehem. Now that the Lord has told us this, we must see what has happened there.' They hurried to the town, found Mary and Joseph, and saw the child! He was lying in a manger. After they had seen it, the shepherds went everywhere telling what had happened and what the angel had said about the child. Everyone who heard their story was amazed. Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. Later, the shepherds returned to their flock in the field. They praised God for what they had heard and seen. It was exactly as the angel had said.
