Is it true that the End Justifies the Means or is it the Other Way Around?

I have a difference of opinion of Machiavelli’s assertion. I think that absolutely everything is justified by the good perception of the perpetrator, unless he was being sarcastic, because all the bad intentioned people think that what they are doing is right and justifiable to perceive what they want whether it’s a terminal sentence or not. As creatures of a loving God we are nobody to dictate the end of people, and the Bible says that in the “last days” all the good will be considered bad and all the bad will be “rewarded” but that’s only by the friends and followers of Satan. Christ asks us to even pray for our enemies, not to eliminate them. If we study the Word of God we come to the conclusion that God created everything and everything WAS GOOD. (Read Genesis chapter 1) If we (humanity) would have been obedient to His commandments (read chapter 3) everything would have been perfect but in our free will our predecessors decided to disobey and made us all guilty: For ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. (Romans 3.23) That is why it all changed suddenly and only the ones who convert, really are the ones who will live forever (being justified as a gift by His GRACE through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through FAITH to demonstrate His Justice. Romans 3.24-25a) Jesus came to cleanse us for the bad choice our predecessors took. That is why whoever believes in Him will NOT perish (John 3.16) And it was done for LOVE to us. Jesus was crucified so we could live in peace, in love and happy, not afraid of what Satan’s followers might do to us, because we know the Truth (Jesus) and His followers will be free forever. If we ask Him forgiveness and as a consequence show in our MEANS that we love one another and obey all His commandments we will live, for He promised it, and all His promises have been accomplished so far and all the bad people who believe and start doing good as a consequence,shall be saved. Please STOP believing in the “gods” that teach you to kill which is NOT the real GOD that commands you to LOVE. That one was crucified BUT as His human body collapsed, He told His Heavenly Father: “It is finished” (John 19.30) for He had obeyed His deed and therefore He was risen at the third day, and all the prophets had announced it despite what the Satan’s followers say. The Bible teaches us we don’t depend on our doings to be saved but if we convert our means don’t have to be justified because they are good. Those who need their “means” justified, end up destroying themselves. One who was once a Satan follower without knowing it, and converted said it: Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of GOD. (Colossians 3.1) Alleluia Jesus Christ LIVES forever!!!

Is God really in Control?

Of course. Some people might not think so and are always doubting and asking, but I know HE is in control of everything, and I will tell you how I know. Jesus came to this world to sacrifice Himself to save us, (the people who are willing to accept him freely and humbly). Like the old prophets wrote, He was born from a human virgin who conceived from the Holy Spirit which is why HE is 100% human and 100% God. She could not be conceived the natural way so HE would not be born with the sin contaminated genes a man would have transmitted Him, which is why we know He is a divinity, completely sinless. And His disciples, the ones who witnessed everything about Him, especially the only one who was not scared to see Him suffer the horrible death wrote: In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word was with God, and the Word was GOD. (John 1.1) All things came into being through HIM, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. (John 1.3) The gospel of John is the only one which is NOT considered a synoptic one, because it’s different and contains other happenings that the other three do not. According to the theological professor Dr. Michael J. Kruger, it is the Last one, most personal, most theological, most “Old Testament” one, most beloved, and most plain. It was signed by the apostle himself, see John 21.24 Despite of the many scholars who have acknowledged it, there are people who do not recognize the attributes of God –Eternal, Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Unchanging. And some of them even curse Him. I have seen it in movies and personally too. They might think God is supposed to approve our human desires whether we accept Him or not, or else they wouldn’t respect Him, even when He came to this world to die for us to make us clean to be His heirs. Some have asked “How can you trust someone who lets you fall into trouble so you could even die?” There are many real stories in the Bible of real people whose “bad” circumstances brought them glory, riches, and all kind of blessings just because they rendered themselves to our Creator Who rewarded them in life. Now a day’s we’ve seen people with no arms who are writers, guitar players, and many other things that seem impossible with a certain impediment. With God anything is possible and DEATH is NOT the end for the believer. We can do nothing to enter His kingdom except believe in Him and His promises, trust and accept He is in control of everything because He said: “Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways.” Declares the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55. 7-9)

Did you know?

Many people do not know. Why? Because, perhaps the ones who were supposed to let them know, either did not know themselves, or were too busy with other problems which they deemed “more important” than what they thought it was something insignificant to be wasting their time on; but it so happens that what might seem a “waste of time,” like our Creator’s, costs nothing and saves your life. Not the life in this broken world that is ephemeral due to sin, but the eternal one that doesn’t end. We were created with eternal souls, for good or for bad. Can you imagine an eternity being sentenced to death constantly for having lived in contempt of our Creator? Many people make mistakes on earth and take their own lives afraid of the consequences here, not knowing that death is NOT a final status, and they would have to confront their Creator whom they won’t be able to look at to ask for forgiveness. People, God is NOT a fairy tale like the followers of Satan insist in letting you know. They are only created beings just like Satan and all of us too. The difference is that the ones who have believed in Jesus Christ (the Son) and read of Him (learning about the truth) know Him. We know Him and speak to Him all the time, and He speaks to us through the Son into Scriptures. So for your own good, please, don’t wait till is too late to get to know Him and trust Him; like He told Joshua: I will NOT fail you or forsake you. (Joshua 1.5) What a great promise! If you don’t know how things are going to end, start preparing yourself NOW when we are still in this world, in the Grace of God, "For God did not sent the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him." (John 3. 17) We are the ones who judge others. That is why we must ask for forgiveness every day and follow His instructions;to love and not hate, to respect others, to do unto others as you would like them to do unto you (The Golden Rule), and if you have something against somebody, forgive them just like Christ forgave you when He came to this world to pay for our debt with the Father for not obeying. He is the author and designer of LOVE. For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on HIM does not perish But has ETERNAL LIFE. (John 3.16) HOW? Just ask Him to reveal Himself to you and He will: “Come now, and let us reason together,“ Says the Lord, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they will be as wool. If you consent and obey, you will eat the best of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” Truly the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 1. 18-20)

Are We Street Smart?

I remember this term: “Street Smart” as the name of a TV program about 30 or 40 years ago which taught our younger students how to behave outside their homes, to not be prey of who wanted to endanger them; a predator who for unhealthy interest could make them lethal victims. A neighbor and mother of my children’s classmate who walked together to and from school, recommended it to us, and I started watching it too. It taught us what NOT to do to provoke an assault. It is horrible how evil smart people take advantage of children, older persons, and anyone who’s kind hearted enough to listen to them. That could even end up with the death of the targeted ones in case they could testify against them. In those cases, many of us don’t have any problem getting hurt, because we pray every day to God to deliver us from evil. (Matthew 6.13) Others, who might not trust God enough, might not be so lucky, reason for which I make it my New Year Resolution to trust in The Lord with all my heart because I know He’s faithful to His children to keep them company and be safe for eternity. In the case a stronger predator can end our life here on earth, he won’t be able to take away our eternal life, something I cannot guarantee to those who are not humble enough to ask God for forgiveness at harming His dear children. Jesus said about the people who did not do good to his children: These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. (Matthew 25.46) Please, make sure you don’t harm others. I pray for all the ones who do not know our redeemer who came to pay for our sins and cleanse us. I am not a super smart woman, but I know that my heavenly father created me wise enough to ask Him for wisdom and He has provided many means, Christian books, wise preachers, angels who advise us, even incidents with a lesson for us to become skilled at how to detect the “enemy lovers” who deceive and trick us into making us feel stupid if we don’t believe the “great” offer they are making to us for the “little” $ they are asking in return. The issue is they are running out of ideas to fool people for many already know their stories. Someone tried to cheat me the other day and God gave me the correct answer and the guy fled real fast. Someone told me: just do not talk to strangers, but I felt bad I could not give him the good news of being saved and I wouldn’t have charged him anything for it. God’s promises are enough. My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; for they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt. (Psalm 71.24) To all who trust in the Lord, will be Street Smart. To all who want to keep on cheating others for the miserable price of becoming a predator with its fleshy results should know: All Flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers and the flower falls off, but THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.” (I Peter 1,24,25) If the predators would like to be forgiven they can follow the Scripture: Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit, and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like New Born babies, long for the pure milk of the WORD so that by it you may grow in respect to Salvation. (1 Peter 2. 1,2) NOBODY IS EXEMPTED FROM THE LORD’S FORGIVENESS IF REPENTED BY HEART!!!

O Death Where is Your Victory, O Death Where is Your Sting? (I Corinth. 15.55)

Evildoers think that DEATH is the END of their problems and they do not know it is really the beginning, because they don’t realize that killing a good man will not end his goodness but will multiply his followers. Remember what happened with Jesus in the times when technology did not count at all. Professional killers charge quite a bit to end with the life of someone that is making somebody else very mad because of the message they are sharing with the people. It is all because their message is interfering with the payer’s interests or the hitter’s own, if no one paid him. Like I said last month, it is very foolish to insist in staying “SICK” if somebody is giving you the cure to your cancer for free. But pride, sometimes is stronger than the desire to be clean. Evildoers rather stir up masses for struggle creating war between the people to justify their wrong ways which makes us fail following their mean ideas and ideals to destroy humanity. What they do not know, though, is that the Owner of everything created is NOT going to permit that the people He made to His image and are faithful to Him be destroyed like the ideals of the evildoers which will vanish for lack of truth. See, the good message will prevail despite the danger, and the righteous will triumph because DEATH is not the end. Death is NOT the end for the faithful. Death is the end of sickness provoked by a fallen world, and a rest to the ones who suffer the difficulties of the “sinful old age”. Paul, the apostle said: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is GAIN. (Philippians 1.21) For he knew, first hand, that if he died he would have gone to be with Christ and if he lived he would keep on preaching Him so the people would learn to know Him and be free of the future wrath. All the wrongdoers who do not repent will eventually fail and not by our doing because it’s a divine will and like Jesus said to Satan: “It is written,” so it is in God’s Word when it says: Do not fret because of evildoers, be not envious toward wrongdoers for they will wither quickly like grass and fade like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness….Commit your way to the Lord. . .He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noon day. (Psalms 37.1-6) Let us give thanks to GOD for His love and His promises to keep us in His kingdom when we die!!!

Are You Satisfied With What You’re Doing?

Some might be, when it provides joy or they might think it’s the “correct” thing to do if they have been taught that. But, What if you’re wrong and your behavior condemns you? Would you be sorry when higher authorities accuse you, especially when there is NO way out? That is very sad that having the possibility of being healthy, as many proclaim today, you insist on staying unhealthy and “DIE.” Actually, that’s the rule for everything in life. If we do not do what our parents teach us, we never learn to eat, walk, talk and everything feasible to make us adults. Our teachers tell us that if we do not study, we won’t graduate. Our doctors keep us healthy. The Authority keeps us safe; the law, secure. It all works so we learn to live sensibly. We could’ve lived sensibly in a good World. But this is NOT it. This is a fallen one since our disobedience of not keeping the rules of our Creator. But some people do not care about that. They keep on thinking what the nonbelievers tell them: that there’s no God, that man came from the apes, and that a big explosion made possible all the things around us; instead of having a smarter than us Being who created smart people and a perfect world if we had followed the rules to keep it so. Yet, the desire to be “like a god” was bigger. The first man, Adam, gave the name to all the animals God created (Genesis 2.19-20) and together with the first woman Eve, they lived fine until they fell disobedient. (Read Genesis chapter 3). If it wasn’t for that we wouldn’t have inherited that syndrome of sin, which is why there are so many nonbelievers who prefer to obey Satan whose ideals are to destroy God’s creation by deceiving us, treacherously. The great thing is that for that reason God sent his Son Jesus to pay the price for our sin and cleanse us, redeeming us so our doings do not incriminate us. ver believes iFor God SO loved the world that he sent His only begotten Son so whosoen Him DO NOT PERISH but have Eternal Life. (John 3.16) God is the Creator of LOVE for ALL. If you are not convinced that what you do is the result of loving one another as Jesus commanded, you still have time to ask Jesus to redeem you ‘cause He said: “No one comes to the Father (God) but through Me”(John 14.6) And the one who was once a persecutor of Christians also said: Therefore there is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8.1)

Would You Like to know...? A testimony

I am a 73 years old woman who was born to a great and functional Christian family. My father was a medical Doctor by the Grace of God, because coming from a very poor family, God made that possible through all the “bad moments” that led him to know Him since his youth and got to meet up the right people who helped him make that dream come true. Since he met the Lord at 14, he let Him guide him and prayed also for his future descendants to have that care too. Thus I was taught in the correct way, as a child I did not realize the good that meant. I was involved in situations that for a young girl it was dangerous since my younger brother and I had to flee our home by ourselves, which made my mother scared. We went to Europe where we did not know anybody but God made it possible to encounter the right people who helped us too. Now that I have lived my life, in the faith, caring for children and grandchildren, I can proudly say the many times God saved me from all the troubles I encountered because I also pleaded Him for safety. From all I have learned through my life and the choosing of the right way despite the hesitation, I know that He has kept me safe which is why in His word he advices us not to be afraid because He won’t ever let us down. People can let you down but God is faithful. I have told you that because we know things that could help you make great choices based on truths that people have lived, starting with me and others I’ve read about. I have listened to many testimonies from the real family of God which are true. The ones that are not true usually are the ones interested in taking advantage of something for their “goodness” and you know what happens to those wicked ones; and we know their disguised father who our Heavenly Father has promised to eliminate for us when He comes back. The ones who have believed on GOD, His commandments, and have HOPE, not only live happier knowing He cares for us despite the “bad times,” but try that others have the goodness we enjoy. We are NOT happy when people perish without being saved. When Jesus was about to be arrested, he told his disciples what would happen for He knew: “These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (John 16.33) No matter how much unbelievers mock you, do not worry, they do not care for the truth. Jesus tells us: Be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of LIFE. (Revelation 2.10d) What a great Promise!
