We as Christians Are No Better Than Anyone Else

Romans 3:23

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” 

Mark 2:17

“When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” 

Praise God that Jesus died for all who will repent and follow Him.

I wanted to share a witnessing experience I had at a rest area in Nebraska. This rest area had a trail on a hilltop and when I came down I was taken back when I saw a transgender walking around with very little clothing on. It really shocked me the way this person looked and I thought it was disgusting. I went to my truck and thought that I am no better than this man in that I was a sinner and needed a saviour and so does he. I prayed and asked God to give me an oppurtunity to witness the gospel to him and give him a tract. After a while I started to head to the restroom and he was on his way to his car and unbelievably he started to walk towards me and ask me if I knew of a town he was looking for. So then I gave him a gospel tract and told him to read about the good news of salvation and he said he was a practicing Jew, but that he would read it. I then went to the restroom and when I came out he was sitting in his car and opened his door and yelled thank you for the gospel tract. I was really happy that I had this oppurtunity to witness to this transgender and who knows, maybe one day he will repent of his sins and live for Jesus. So the moral of this story is that when we are disgusted with such a vile man just  remember Jesus died for him also. And yes, we should hate the wickedness of this unnatural affection. Of course we must use wisdom when we are witnessing but when God gives us an oppurtunity we should'nt ignore it. So christians, just remember even though there are sins that are more severe or have more consequences than others ANY sins can send people to hell if they are not confessed and forsaked. 

Proverbs 28:13

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” 

Psalms 14:3

“They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there isnone that doeth good, no, not one.” 

Romans 3:9

“What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;” 

1 John 3:8

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 


Romans 6:17

“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.”


May we be willing to witness to whoever God sends our way and not show partiality.

Acts 10:34 - 10:35



Romans 2:11

“For there is no respect of persons with God.” 

1 Timothy 5:21

“I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.” 

Romans 1:16

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” 

So christians, let it not be so among us to show partiality, but instead be a witness and preach the gospel  to the lost and dying world. 

May God be praised!!!!

The Bible says, "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).  It also says, "And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."(Hebrews 4:13).  
You see, sin separates us from God and it will lead one to hell not heaven! God's Word is so very clear...."the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23)

First, you will die physically due to sin and then you will be judged and die spiritually in hell eternally without Christ as your Lord and Savior. God will judge all those who are NOT His holy people and send them into outer darkness. We love you and want better for you. So that is the bad news ... God's wrath is hanging over you, due to your sins. But let us rejoice.......we have the GOOD NEWS GOSPEL!!!

Jesus Christ is the Son of God (fully man /  fully God) who came to earth to die on the cross for your sins and to defeat death.  Because of man’s sinfulness, Christ was sent to the cross (shed His blood for forgiveness of sins) put to death (God's will), buried and then rose again to defeat death!  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16He showed us God's Kingdom to come and how to love God. love each other and our neighbor. He alone could over come the world / satan and gain eternal life for those who will seek after Him.
God in His love ( a one time act through Christ ) has made a way for you to be forgiven of your sins and gain eternal life with Him. Please know it is NOT just believing, doing some religion and going to heaven. That is all a lie!!!
In order to find that eternal life per God's Word you MUST have these 5 biblical gospel principles act work in your life:

1) Faith... in the finished work of Christ ( fully man, fully God ) and His perfect sacrifice for sins ( John 3:16 )

2) Repentance ... turning from your fallen mind and ways to God's Holy ways.  ( Luke 13:3 )

3) Born again... you must be born of God's spirit to ever see eternal life. In this new life, He gives you a new heart and mind to then serve Him. ( John 3 )

4 ) Holiness with obedience.... if your changed by God you WILL, as fruit, strive to leave all sin, worldliness, carnality and false ways ( like man made religion ) and obey His commands and be holy in all your ways. ( 1 Peter 1:15 / Heb 5:9 / Heb 12:14)

5) Endure in your faith.... You MUST keep clinging to Christ via this saving faith to the end of your life, lest you fall away and have believed in vain. ( Matt 10 and 1 Corinthians 15 ) 

The gospel is not just a religious action. No, it changes your entire life and you NO LONGER live for yourself but live to serve God alone. Jesus said you MUST worship God in spirit and truth. John 4:24

So you must be BORN of His spirit and you must seek Him in truth, not false religious ways of man that MOST today are doing each Sunday in ritual false man made ways.
Do you have His truth (the good news gospel) or do you have your own faith or a man-made tradition that has deceived you?  ( Colossians 2:8 ) Religion cannot save you nor can being good. God's wrath is upon all those (NOT born of Him) at their death. The worlds religions and denominations are full of the false gospels of man. Test your own faith and gospel to God's Word lest you be turned away in eternity as Matt 7.21 speaks of.

Those truly in Christ are changed people who live holy (1 Peter 1:15) and no longer conform to this fallen worlds ways. They avoid partaking of the carnal (sinful) culture ( sports, TV, movies, feminism, man made denominational religion etc ) but they will GO and proclaim the gospel into the world and call others out of it.   

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind  (Romans 12:2) 
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.   (1 John 2:15)  

Knowing Christ is about seeking and serving Him in truth, holiness, obedience by God’s Word (the bible) not practicing man made religion or relying on your good works.

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him (Hebrews 5:9)
Warning: Jesus speaks of a NARROW road that FEW will find. Matthew 7. Are you on it? Or are you on the broad road to destruction?

Christ will return to redeem those who are born of Him (Hebrews 9) per His gospel (His love )  and the rest will be judged and will suffer in hell. ( His wrath )  2 Thessalonians 1:8

Please consider your sin problem and the good news, God's offer to you and act upon it today; while you still have time!
BELIEVE, REPENT, BE MADE NEW, OBEY THE GOSPEL IN HOLINESS and ENDURE until THE END!
