Ministries coming up next on changing
your
world hello everybody and welcome to
this special Christmas edition of
changing your world I’m K Lo doala and
all week we have been dealing with the
Practical side of our Christmas
celebration and today we’re going to ask
a very interesting
question is Jesus
enough for our
Salvation or should we add something to
Jesus this is going to bless your life
stay tuned and I’ll see you right after
the
message this is your world so let’s vow
to make it a better
place let every heart that me to
know you love is here say oh it’s time
we live a new life oh let us Sun sh R in
you we saved by his grace so we Embrace
Your Love
today we are
[Music]
Chang if you have your Bibles go with me
to the book of Acts chap
4: 10-2 we’re going to read it in the
King James and then read verse
12 in the
NLT I want to talk to you for for today
this is so very important I keep hearing
people saying they make these long list
about all the things you have to do to
be saved and and if you don’t do that
then you know you’re going to go to hell
and if you don’t do this then you’re not
really saved uh but I thought I got
saved the day I got saved now well no
that was you just really and um and and
I’m wondering is Jesus enough for our
Salvation so I want to talk about that
today is Jesus enough to keep our
Salvation
or are we going to continue to be
instructed to keep adding stuff to it is
he
enough to keep our Salvation cuz that’s
pretty important right now you need to
know it and you need to be very secure
in what the word word of God says about
your
salvation because if you leave it up to
some people you if you breathe wrong you
you you ain’t say come on you’re going
to be in Hell by 12:00 you know it’s
like do it’s like we have this thing
about loving to send people to hell and
using fear as a mechanism to try to keep
people
saved look at this acts
4: 10-2 he said be it known unto you all
and to all the people of Israel that by
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
whom you
crucified whom God raised from the dead
that same Jesus even by him doth this
man stand here before you
whole verse
11 he said now Jesus now is the stone
which was set at not of you of you
Builders which is become he’s he’s
become the head of the Cornerstone
so Jesus is the head of the Cornerstone
he said this Stone but Jesus is the head
of the
Cornerstone neither is there salvation
in any
other for there is none other name under
Heaven given among
men whereby we must be
saved nobody
else but
Jesus and then look at the look at verse
12 in the
NLT he said there is salvation in no one
else God has given no other name under
Heaven by which we must be saved there
is salvation in no one else there is no
salvation in nobody else but
Jesus and then in John St John chapter
14 and verse 6 and the King
James St John 14 and verse 6 and the
King James he says Jesus saith unto
him I am the
way the
truth the
life no
man how many is no man no
man cometh unto the
father but By
Me Nobody nobody’s coming to Father
nobody’s getting into heaven nobody’s
coming to the father’s Throne except by
Jesus Christ well I don’t agree I
believe there are many ways to God Ain
but one way to
God
now traditionally
speaking what about the grounds for
keeping our
Salvation what about sinning willfully
after having known the
truth that if I if if I want to stay
saved I got to make sure I don’t sin
willfully what about bearing fruit and
if I don’t bear fruit I’ll be cut off
and somebody says you go to
hell what about being hot
you can’t be hot or cold but you got to
be
lukewarm and if you Loew that ain’t
going to get it cuz God say he going to
spit you out his
mouth and that mean you ain’t save no
more what about not having enough oil in
the lamp when Jesus returns what about
forgetting to confess your
sins well the Bible says you got to
confess your sins well what if you get
what if you forgive get
one what if you can forget the sin that
you went to the restaurant and you just
had a bad attitude that’s sin anything
that fall falls short of Love is sin
what you seriously seriously think calm
down C you seriously
think that God is going to you know
you’re going to lose your salvation
because you forgot to confess something
he’s already taken care
of
uh go to Hebrews chapter 10:28 in the
New Living Translation I I think that’s
it Hebrews chapter I think it’s 928 in
the in the Hebrew in the U
NLT what about the unforgivable
sin oh the unforg the unforgivable sin
if you if you commit the unforgivable
sin you lose your salvation we spent
more time trying to find reasons for
people to to lose their salvation and
this morning I just want to set the
record straight we believe in the word
of God I I have to set the record
straight uh Hebrews chapter 9:28 before
I start this he says so also Christ was
offered once for all times as a
sacrifice to do what take away the sins
of many
people he will come
again not to deal with our sins
what he’s coming again but not not to
deal with your sins why is he not coming
again to deal with your
sins cuz he’s already dealt with it sin
is something that’s dealt with it’s it’s
a it’s a done deal he’s already handled
that and if you’re still struggling
trying to figure out how to handle it
yourself he says I’m not coming back to
deal with your sins I’ve already handled
your sins but I’m coming back but to to
bring Salvation to all who are eager
waiting for him and that’s the salvation
of your your your your your new body
that’s going to be put on your glorified
body now let’s get into this let’s study
the scriptures carefully and find out is
Jesus enough or do we need to add
something else to him is he enough
because some Christians are convinced
that Jesus is enough
let’s begin in John chapter
15 verse 2 in the King James let’s look
at
Jesus plus bearing fruit what’s the deal
there is there see I believe that it’s
Jesus plus nothing but let’s let’s for
this lesson today look at Jesus and say
all right well you got to you got to
handle that issue with bearing fruit
okay well let’s look at just what he
says about this bearing fruit issue he
says every
branch in me that beareth not fruit he
taketh away and every branch that
beareth fruit he purges it that it may
bring forth more fruit now how many of
you know the Bible makes it clear that
he is the vine we are the branch say out
loud I’m a branch I’m a branch okay and
notice that the fruit appears through
the branch but if the branch is no
longer attached to the
Vine it it Withers away and it dies
right so you you can see where people
are going with this they’re they’re
saying well you know every branch in me
that beareth not fruit he taketh
away so if he takes the branch away cuz
you’re not bearing fruit then you no
longer
saved Branch can’t be living because
it’s detached from the vine now think
think about your God whose nature is
love does that sound like something God
would
do does that sound like something God
would do some of you still not sure are
you cuz you’ve been camped out there for
so long you’re like well that’s what I
heard all my life but there’s one
problem with that and this is the thing
when we don’t rightly divide the word
and study it we we we we we we look at
this at first glance this scripture
seems to say that unless you bear fruit
you will be cut off from Jesus and if
we’re cut off from Jesus then when’re no
longer saved so what does this really
mean now follow me
carefully you see the phrase every
branch in me that beareth not fruit that
phrase underline it taketh
away taketh
away or another translation may say cut
off that originates from a a a Greek
word and you can look it up for yourself
strongs I think I wrote it down strongs
number one 142 and it’s the Greek word
Arrow a i r
o we translated it in English with two
words taketh away or cut
off this Greek word means this it means
to lift from the ground or to take up
you see a Vine dresser who understands
that if the branch is not getting enough
sunlight it needs to be Beed up or
lifted up or adjusted up here’s what
he’s saying every branch in me that
beareth not
fruit God’s going to Bear you up or lift
you
up he going to lift you up until you’re
able to bear fruit he not going to cut
you off or take you away he’s going to
prop you Up Lift You Up straighten you
up so you can bear oh my
[Applause]
goodness
if a person Bears no fruit at all we
don’t send that person from the church
we put him in a fellowship group so
somebody can bear him up until he’s able
to do what he needs to do this is
similar to The Vine
dresser how is it that our theology can
convince people and and and and what
kind of fruit we looking for anyway do
you think bearing fruit means money no
bearing fruit what fruit the fruit of
the spirit if this person who is now a
part of the vine is not bearing the
fruit of love and joy and longsuffering
and he’s not bearing the fruit of the
spirit let’s get him let’s hold him up
let’s bear him up though here’s the
context those those who who are strong
bear the infirmities of the
weak so you don’t need to add this to
Jesus we are connected to Jesus tree and
our fruit will be Jesus fruit glory to
God so we need we don’t need to connect
we Jesus still enough because Jesus is
the one that’s bearing you
up all right well what about the other
part and every branch that beareth
fruit he purges it that it may bring
forth more fruit now this is interesting
the second part of John 15:2 says and
every branch that bears fruit like uh
fruit he prunes that’s the word for it
he prunes that that that that that
branch that it may bear more fruit I’m
getting ready to prune some trees on my
property because it hadn’t been pruned
in it needs to Bear better fruit it’s
going to I I pruned some a rose bush and
I thought oh my God it’s destroyed
forever but when it came back the Roses
were bigger and and more red and it it
was just beautiful and here’s what he
says is he I believe that much of this
pruning is to remove religion and
mixture from our
lives yeah he’s getting ready to pre
self-effort
self-dependence he’s he’s getting ready
to PR see whatever you thought about the
scripture before you got here today and
you hear and gain an understanding of
what I’m showing you right now you being
pruned baby and whatever you might be
going through in your life God may allow
some stuff to happen in your life but as
you trust him and depend on him and you
didn’t see it coming you didn’t see your
deliverance coming you didn’t see the
money coming you didn’t see the
promotion coming but all God’s trying to
do is prune you away from religion prune
you away from self- dependence get you
to a place where you say I can depend on
God that’s Jesus so it’s not Jesus plus
you got to Bear some fruit it’s Jesus
who going to help you bear the fruit
it’s Jesus who’s going to help prop you
up Jesus is enough to keep your
salvation oh come on somebody Jesus is
enough to keep your your
salvation number
two should we add the caution
of not sinning
willfully is Jesus enough to keep my
salvation or I mean sinning willfully
that that’s so strange to me since all
sin is an act of your
will when you say when you create a
category like willful sin it’s almost
like you’re saying and then there’s the
sin that you call I made a
mistake oh excuse me I cuss you I I
ain’t mean
to now I I I want to I want to walk you
through this one go go to the book of uh
Hebrews chapter
10:26 Hebrews chapter
10:26 it’s time to get it
now the end of the end has begun I don’t
I don’t know how many you know 20 30 40
50 more years I don’t know but I know it
started and what’s happening now I can
find it to you right in chapter and
verse and I can tell you what’s getting
ready to happen next I don’t have to
watch the news on this one baby it’s
already been prophesized before the
time all right now watch this carefully
so we we we got to we got to get out of
this self dependence and this religion
that’s keeping us in bondage to bad
Doctrine and bad teaching Hebrews
chapter 10 verse
26 Now read verse 26 out loud with me
the King James he says for if we sin
willfully after that we have received
the knowledge of the truth there
remaineth no more sacrifice of sin so
here’s what he’s saying here here’s what
I heard
it if you sin
willfully then there’s no more sacrifice
for you and and I I took it as okay if I
sin willfully in other words I know what
I’m doing and I did it yes God I did it
well there ain’t no more sacrifice for
you boy you going to
hell they didn’t have to tell me I
assumed that they were saying there’s no
sacrifice no more sacrifices left for
you because you sin willfully therefore
you don’t you you have lost your
salvation because you have sinned
willfully that’s not at all what it
means context is
king So sometimes in order to get the
context you got to back up several
verses of scripture I mean if we going
if we’re going to quote the Bible we
might as well know what it
mean don’t get don’t park in bad
tradition and not understand you you you
got to get the context in order to know
what it means like Malachi 3 what’s the
one that say you curs with a curse and
and I don’t even read it no more you
cursed with a curse and and uh you have
robbed God and you you you robbed the
whole nation and you done curse with the
curse you know yes that’s a horrible
scripture and we use it today to to to
get people to to to tithe but I’m
telling you if you back up about two
chapters the whole
thing was a conversation to the
levitical
priesthood he says you guys are cheating
me on what you giv me you give me the
worst of what you can give me
and then he said you know what you are
cursed with a curse we it couldn’t be
talking about us because we’re born
again and Jesus took away the curse so
is Jesus somebody that’s going to take
away the curse and then put it back on
you then take away a curse and then put
it back on you sound a little double
minded to
me that’s not even for us and we are
quoting it like it’s for
us wow man you know when you start
looking at you know is Jesus enough to
to back us up so we can bear fruit or is
he going to is he going to you know
destroy the branch and then we die and
go to hell and and you find out that’s
not it he’s he’s got our back or or when
you when you look at the the issues of
blasphemy and you realize that this is
an issue of
unbelief thank God for the birth of
Jesus Christ thank God God that he is
enough and I want you to know that I
want you to know that through your
celebration this Christmas Jesus is
enough he’s enough to be your peace he’s
enough to be your joy he’s enough to be
your provision and I am thanking God for
that so have a Merry Christmas celebrate
