Colossians 1:13) Let us give thanks unto the Father. For He has
delivered us from the power of darkness and has TRANSLATED US into the
kingdom of His dear Son. Have you yet realized that God Himself thru
Jesus Christ has TRANSLATED you in your spirit within you into His Sons
Spiritual kingdom. In Christ, in the inner man, we are THE TRANSLATED
WITH CHRIST. John 5:24 helps us see MORE of this truth. John 5:24 are
words only true to those who believe and belong to Christ. Jesus said.
The person that hears my words (Of course that person believes them and
obeys them, THOSE WORDS. Jesus said it is not the hears of the Word that
are justified, but only those who BELIEVE THEM AND DO THEM. We believe what He tells us to believe
and we do what His Word tells us to do. That is REAL HEARING). Jesus said," THE
PERSON THAT HEARS MY WORDS, and believes that I was sent from the
Father, HAS EVERLASTING LIFE, and THAT PERSON shall not come into
condemnation (at the judgement) but is passed from death unto life". .
Ephesians 2:1-10) Reveals more information about THE TRANSLATED ONES AND
THEIR TRANSLATION.
In John 17 Jesus said. that we are not of this world, EVEN AS
HE is not of this world. That is our translation fully defined by JESUS
HIMSELF. We are Aliens to this world. Visitors from another planet and world that is far above and greater than this one. Gods SPIRIT world. We are the sons and daughters of the Mighty God. Let us fulfill the Missions we were sent here for by Jesus Christ......deno

John 5:1,4-5) Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is BORN OF
GOD....AND whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world; and THIS IS
THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMES THE WORLD, even OUR FAITH....vs 5) Who is he
that OVERCOMES THE WORLD....It is he that believes that Jesus is the Son
of God.......John 20:30-31) And many other signs Jesus did in the
presence of His followers, which are not written
in this book. vs 31) But these are written for this reason, that you
would be convinced to believe that Jesus is the TRUE CHRIST, THE SON OF
GOD......John 1:10-12) Jesus was in the world, and the world was made
by Him, but the world knew Him not. vs 11) Jesus came to His own (The
Jews), but His own rejected Him and received Him not. vs 12) BUT TO AS
MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GOD GAVE THE RIGHT AND THE POWER TO BE THE
SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME....Romans 10:11,13)
For the scriptures say that whosoever believes on Him shall not be
ashamed. 13) For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord (In
Faith) shall be saved.....
The thief on the cross next to Jesus was a
WHOSOEVER, and so was the other man on the other side of Jesus. Both had
the same opportunity. Both were sinful, sin filled condemned men dying in their
trespasses and sins like all the world is (John 8:19-24). Neither one had any possible
way or hope in saving themselves from death, or from the grave, or from hell. They both were helpless.
They both were without strength. Nonetheless as Jesus taught all are invited. These two were
both INVITED freely by the grace and love of God. Jesus taught that
the grace and mercy of God is for WHOSOEVER as the scriptures reveal
Romans 10:9-13 and Matthew 22:1-14 and John 3:16-17)...... These two thieves both had the same beginning as all the world born in trespasses and sins as so is all. But their ending sure was forever different. Lets look into this difference.....
And the wise
penitent thief on the Cross said to Jesus, Lord, will you remember me
(EVEN A MAN LIKE ME. A CONDEMNED GUILTY SINFUL MAN) when you come into
your kingdom ????.....Lets look and see how Jesus answered and handled this helpless thief....Jesus said back to him. Truly I say to you, Today
you will be with me in paradise. Did you notice that Jesus did not start talking to the thief about all his life's many awful terrible sins?????? If such was of legal necessity to do so by LAW for this man to be saved then Jesus most certainly would have went there with the thief in order to fulfill all requirements and all righteousness (Matthew 3:13-15). BUT HE DID NOT......JESUS RESPONDED TO THE THIEF ON THE BASIS OF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH AND NOT BY WORKS..... Ephesians 2:8-10) For by Gods love and grace you have been saved thru faith and that not of your self. It is THE GIFT OF GOD..ROMANS 5:1) Therefore BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD ..Romans 3:19-28). THIS WAS CERTAINLY WORDS OF TRUTH IN THE THIEF"S LIFE. The thief called upon the Name of the
Lord in faith and the Lord did not disappoint the thief. Jesus Himself Justified him....Just as the Lord
promised, all that call upon His name shall not be ashamed or
disappointed.........
The other thief on the other side of Jesus had the
same invite and opportunity. But all he did was gripe and complain his
way into hell instead of receiving the free gift of God in Christ... He was
so close but yet so far away. Satan blinded him as he does the
world. His spirit/soul was lost forevere......
But what a merciful and faithful Savior and High Priest we
have in Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. If we with a penitent heart,
repent and call upon His Name, the power of His Cross and Blood will
prosper and prevail on our souls behalf and we WILL OVERCOME SATAN AND
THE WORLD AS THE THIEF THAT GOT SAVED DID.....Such Good
News.......deno......please share freely.
