Three Important Things

For these are the days of Christ' return. There are certain things that are to be followed by every believer.

CONSISTENT FAITH - The Word of God says that everybody is fallen short because of sin, Romans.3:9,23. But we were been provided by grace, the Son of God Jesus Christ who for our sake has been our Salvation and Redemption. But it is our duty that we should call upon His name by faith. Romans.10:13, For whosoever call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. This is an act of faith. Jesus after his resurrection, after showing himself to his disciples, speaking to Thomas, Jesus speaks concerning the doubt of Thomas in John.20:29, Jesus saith unto him, Thomas because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed; this is faith. This faith is to be kept strong until the time of the Lord' return.

ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE SCRIPTURES - This is no new thing in this world. People who call themselves Priests, Evangelists, Teachers of the Word of God, Theologians, Christian Organisations, Seminaries etc.,  what not, everyone has his own interpretation of the Word of God. The world around a Christian Believer is in chaos. Jesus in Matthew.24:4,5, Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. This is why Apostle Paul urges Thessalonians to believe in Jesus using Scriptures available for reason, Acts.17:2. The people of Berea with all the readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so, Acts.17:11. Let no one device you, always check with the Scriptures with readiness as people of Berea.

LOVE EVERYONE - 1John.4:8, for God is love. For it is out of this love, God gave his only begotten Son to be the propitiation for the remission of our sins, John.3:16 and Romans.3:25. The Epistle of 1st John, Chapter 3 and 4 is completely speaking on Love. 4:10, Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Jesus after speaking about his suffering, says in John.13:34, A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Yes, inspite of we be handed over to the suffering (Matthew.24:9-13, Luke.21:12,13), we should love. When we love we are expressing that, Ye are of God ... because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world, 1John.4:4. We should love and this love expresses, .... God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so we are in this world, 1John.4:16,17.

These are the three important things that every Christian has to follow and all the other will follow these.
