A day blog which will be filled with a collection of spring flowers since winter has totay bid goodbye(?). :D
Gate To Heaven
Ephesians 2:8-9
King James Version (KJV)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:Not of works, lest any man should boast.
JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY way to Heaven!!!
“I am the way, the truth, and the life; NO MAN cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME.” — Jesus Christ (John 14:6)
Question: "Is Jesus the only way to Heaven?"
Answer:"I'm basically a good person, so I'll go to heaven." "OK, so I do some bad things, but I do more good things, so I'll go to heaven." "God won't send me to hell just because I don't live by the Bible. Times have changed!" "Only really bad people like child molesters and murderers go to hell."
These are all common rationalizations, but the truth is that they are all lies. Satan, the ruler of the world, plants these thoughts in our heads. He, and anyone who follows his ways, is an enemy of God (1Peter 5:8). Satan is a deceiver and often disguises himself as someone good (2 Corinthians 11:14), but he has control over all the minds that do not belong to God. "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God" (2 Corinthians 4:4).
It is a lie to believe that God doesn't care about small sins or that hell is reserved for "bad people." All sin separates us from God, even a “little white lie.” Everyone has sinned, and no one is good enough to get to heaven on their own (Romans 3:23). Getting into heaven is not based on whether our good outweighs our bad; we will all lose out if that is the case. "And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace" (Romans 11:6). We can do nothing good to earn our way to heaven (Titus 3:5).
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it" (Matthew 7:13). Even if everyone else is living a life of sin in a culture where trusting in God is not popular, God will not excuse it. "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient" (Ephesians 2:1-2).
When God created the world, it was perfect and good. Then he made Adam and Eve and gave them their own free will, so they would have a choice whether to follow and obey God. But they were tempted by Satan to disobey God, and they sinned. This separated them (and everyone that came after them, including us) from being able to have acloserelationship with God. He is perfect and holy and must judge sin. As sinners, we couldn't reconcile ourselves to God on our own. So God made a way that we could be united with Him in heaven. "For 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" (John 3:16). "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Jesus was born to die for our sins so that we would not have to. Three days after His death, He rose from the grave (Romans 4:25), proving Himself victorious over death. He bridged the gap between God and man so that we may have a personal relationship with Him if we only believe.
"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, andJesus Christ, whom you have sent" (John 17:3). Most people believe in God, even Satan does. But to receive salvation, we must turn to God, form a personal relationship, turn away from our sins, and follow Him. We must trust in Jesus with everything we have and everything we do. "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference" (Romans 3:22). The Bible teaches that there is no other way to salvation than through Christ. Jesus says inJohn 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Jesus is the only way of salvation because He is the only One who can pay our sin penalty (Romans 6:23). No other religion teaches the depth or seriousness of sin and its consequences. No other religion offers the infinite payment of sin that only Jesus Christ could provide. No other “religious founder” was God become man (John 1:1,14) – the only way an infinite debt could be paid. Jesus had to be God so that He could pay our debt. Jesus had to be man so He could die. Salvation is available only through faith in Jesus Christ! “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Prayer of Protection
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my GOD, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” (Psalm 91:1-16)
This video is indeed a must-see. Thank you LORD JESUS CHRIST.
LORD JESUS: can't you confess your love to me? ^__^

They Will Inherit The Land
I was doing my normal Youtube browsing for songs and documentaries to understand how people around me live their everyday lives and bumped into this video clip. I wanted to know how they feel about life and how they are going through it. I come across this Korean documentary of a Korean man who I believe is a Christian. It’s an hour -length clip and the hardest part of me being foreign with the language is I could not fully understand what the main character is going through. I could see from the video that he is alone, wandering on the streets, making a living of his own. He is disabled and living life as it goes by. I hope I could understand what the narrator is speaking and what this main man has in his heart.
Many people are like him. No one to lift them up and no one to turn to when times like this happen. Does he have a family? Did they abandon him? Is he married? Does he have children? How old is he? Is he in a city wandering, begging for food? Is someone helping him? I saw the main man is with another disabled man. They both make ends meet .
I can see that he is writing notes everywhere. I just could not understand if that’s what his heart feels. It could be a chaos inside telling “what’s going on with life?” Is he asking, “Why me, LORD?”. Too saddening I could not really comprehend.
I hope someone is looking at him, taking care of him, bringing him closer to JESUS CHRIST. In this scenario, his heart is what GOD wants. It does not matter what his situation in life is. What attitude he has. It is his dedication, sincerity, loyalty, and humility/meeknes which GOD’s wants a lot.
I cannot understand his longings, his cries, and summons a lot because the video is in his native tongue but I believe his heart is pure for the LORD. Hope he will fully transform into what GOD dreams of His children. The video was posted almost 2 years ago and I prayed that this man is living a better life right now. Him and the other man he was going through life with.
Somewhere at the end of the video, they were standing in front of a congregation. I can interpret that they were singing a song I remember I am singing too when I was a little kid. It is based on the tune and lyrics;
“Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes… Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus Loves me,
The Bible tells me so..”
Amen!
온유한 자는 복이 있나니.. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5)
온유한 자는 복이 있나니 저희가 땅을 기업으로 받을 것임이요. (마태복음 5:5)
Lord Jesus, this is our world. “So many people do not have an understanding of the WORD. But he has that comprehension and faith.” Indeed, 온유한 자는 복이 있나니 저희가 땅을 기업으로 받을 것임이요~
This is so inspiring documentary. Indeed it touched so many hearts which can understand and whose ears could listen the deepest of hearts utterance. Praise the Holy Name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST!!
Be Vigilant!!
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. (1 John 4:1-3 NIV)
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (1 John 4:1-3 KJV)
사랑하는 자들아 영을 다 믿지 말고 오직 영들이 하나님께 속하였나 시험하라 많은 거짓 선지자가 세상에 나왔음이니라 하나님의 영은 이것으로 알찌니 곧 예수 그리스도께서 육체로 오신 것을 시인하는 영마다 하나님께 속한 것이요 예수를 시인하지 아니하는 영마다 하나님께 속한 것이 아니니 이것이 곧 적그리스도의 영이니라 오리라 한 말을 너희가 들었거니와 이제 벌써 세상에 있느니라 (요한일서 4:1-3)
Mga minamahal, huwag ninyong paniniwalaan kaagad ang bawat nagsasabing nasa kanila ang Espiritu. Sa halip, subukin muna ninyo sila upang malaman kung talagang mula sa Diyos ang espiritung nasa kanila, sapagkat marami nang huwad na propeta sa mundong ito. Ito ang palatandaan na ang Espiritu ng Diyos nga ang nasa kanila: kung ipinapahayag nila na si Jesu-Cristo ay naging tao. Kung hindi gayon ang kanilang ipinapahayag tungkol kay Jesus, hindi mula sa Diyos ang espiritung nasa kanila. Ang espiritu ng anti-Cristo ang nasa kanila. Nasabi na sa inyong ito'y darating at ngayon nga'y nasa daigdig na. (1 Juan 4:1-3 TAGALOG)

Wicked & Righteous
Psalm 37:1-40 NIV
"Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity. The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright. But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous. The blameless spend their days under the Lord ’s care, and their inheritance will endure forever. In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty. But the wicked will perish: Though the Lord ’s enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke. The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously; those the Lord blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be destroyed. The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing. Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever. For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish. The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever. The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just. The law of their God is in their hearts; their feet do not slip. The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, intent on putting them to death; but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked or let them be condemned when brought to trial. Hope in the Lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it. I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a luxuriant native tree, but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found. Consider the blameless, observe the upright; a future awaits those who seek peace. But all sinners will be destroyed; there will be no future for the wicked. The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him."

"행악자를 인하여 불평하여 하지 말며 불의를 행하는 자를 투기하지 말지어다 저희는 풀과 같이 속히 베임을 볼 것이며 푸른 채소 같이 쇠잔할 것임이로다 여호와를 의뢰하여 선을 행하라 땅에 거하여 그의 성실로 식물을 삼을지어다 또 여호와를 기뻐하라 저가 네 마음의 소원을 이루어 주시리로다 너의 길을 여호와께 맡기라 저를 의지하면 저가 이루시고 네 의를 빛같이 나타내시며 네 공의를 정오의 빛같이 하시리로다 여호와 앞에 잠잠하고 참아 기다리라 자기 길이 형통하며 악한 꾀를 이루는 자를 인하여 불평하여 말지어다 분을 그치고 노를 버리라 불평하여 말라 행악에 치우칠 뿐이라 대저 행악하는 자는 끊어질 것이나 여호와를 기대하는 자는 땅을 차지하리로다 잠시 후에 악인이 없어지리니 네가 그곳을 자세히 살필지라도 없으리로다 오직 온유한 자는 땅을 차지하며 풍부한 화평으로 즐기리로다 악인이 의인 치기를 꾀하고 향하여 그 이를 가는도다 주께서 저를 웃으시리니 그 날의 이름을 보심이로다 악인이 칼을 빼고 활을 당기어 가난하고 궁핍한 자를 엎드러뜨리며 행위가 정직한 자를 죽이고자 하나 그 칼은 자기의 마음을 찌르고 그 활은 부러지리로다 의인의 적은 소유가 많은 악인의 풍부함보다 승하도다 악인의 팔은 부러지나 의인은 여호와께서 붙드시는도다 여호와께서 완전한 자의 날을 아시니 저희 기업은 영원하리로다 저희는 환난 때에 부끄럽지 아니하며 기근의 날에도 풍족하려니와 악인은 멸망하고 여호와의 원수는 어린 양의 기름 같이 타서 연기 되어 없어지리로다 악인은 꾸고 갚지 아니하나 의인은 은혜를 베풀고 주는도다 주의 복을 받은 자는 땅을 차지하고 주의 저주를 받은 자는 끊어지리로다 여호와께서 사람의 걸음을 정하시고 그 길을 기뻐하시나니 저는 넘어지나 아주 엎드러지지 아니함은 여호와께서 손으로 붙드심이로다 내가 어려서부터 늙기까지 의인이 버림을 당하거나 그 자손이 걸식함을 보지 못하였도다 저는 종일토록 은혜를 베풀고 꾸어주니 그 자손이 복을 받는도다 악에서 떠나 선을 행하라 그리하면 영영히 거하리니 여호와께서 공의를 사랑하시고 그 성도를 버리지 아니하심이로다 저희는 영영히 보호를 받으나 악인의 자손은 끊어지리로다 의인이 땅을 차지함이여 거기 영영히 거하리로다 의인의 입은 지혜를 말하고 그 혀는 공의를 이르며 그 마음에는 하나님의 법이 있으니 그 걸음에 실족함이 없으리로다 악인이 의인을 엿보아 살해할 기회를 찾으나 여호와는 저를 그 손에 버려두지 아니하시고 재판 때에도 정죄치 아니하시리로다 여호와를 바라고 그 도를 지키라 그리하면 너를 들어 땅을 차지하게 하실 것이라 악인이 끊어질 때에 네가 목도하리로다 내가 악인의 큰 세력을 본즉 그 본토에 선 푸른 나무의 무성함 같으나 사람이 지날 때에 저가 없어졌으니 내가 찾아도 발견치 못하였도다 완전한 사람을 살피고 정직한 자를 볼찌어다 화평한 자의 결국은 평안이로다 범죄자들은 함께 멸망하리니 악인의 결국은 끊어질 것이나 의인의 구원은 여호와께 있으니 그는 환난 때에 저희 산성이시로다 여호와께서 저희를 도와 건지시되 악인에게서 건져 구원하심은 그를 의지한 연고로다"
