The Flag for which we stand!!

1/24/2021

Flags have represented nations, kingdoms, and even companies forever for a long time. They tell what the nation, kingdom or company stand for; by using colors, symbols, and or wording.

            Let me give you an example. Our American flag consists of three colors. Red, which says that we are hearty, & have valor. Blue represents vigilance, justice, and endurance.

            The way a lot of our people have lost their respect for Old Glory. They burn the flags, dishonor what we stand for, and fight against its principles by destroying property, and disrespecting its churches, government and those who believe in them.

The things that we, the people, have suffered because of those who are against the American way of life. We have seen where they have blown up businesses, looting, burning our property, and murdering those who hold fast to America’s principles.

            America was built on biblical principles; we were given unalienable rights as citizens of the United States of America. The Bill of Rights. We hold these truths.... They have tried to change them, remove them & even tried to annul parts of them. Millions have given their lives to keep these truths.

            There is another flag, or banner, if you will, that they are trying to get rid of it and it's influence and that is the banner of the cross on which Jesus gave his life for the ransom of all sinners who will receive his free gift, salvation, to those who sincerely ask and believe.

            John 3:16 states; For God so loved the world (cosmos - mankind) that he gave his only begotten son and whosoever believeth shall not perish, but have everlasting life.

            God gave man a free will. If you choose to serve him or not, it is your choice. But, you will pay the piper, so to speak. At the end, if you have not made it right you will pay for you final choice. Do not wait until it is too lateto pray. Romans 6:23 states; For the wages of sin is death (eternal separation from God, in hell.); but the gift of God is eternal life (in heaven with him) through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

          When God created humans there was only one commandment. In Genesis 2:17 the Bible states: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. In the end, without Jesus, you will be eternally separated from God, in hell. John 3:17-18. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saves. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

            Today, there is still only one commandment that will, by your choice, send you to hell. If you do not believe and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. While if you believe as a fact that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and accept him as your personal Savior, then live by his word, as found in the Bible, and rely on the promises that are found in the Bible.

Older Websters dictionary. {Believe that Jesus is virgin born, he is the Son of God, that will help you with every aspect of your life and he came and lived as a man, suffered and died on the cross of Calvary to pay the ransom to redeem sinners who believe.} Acts 3:19, 4:13, Repent & be converted (be saved)

            Remember that Jesus paid the price, not only for salvation of man, but that included the Spirit of God, which will help you in every aspect of your life, if you will ask him and let him. This is not the Baptism; however, he is the same Spirit. The Baptism is the fulness. That is a different teaching.
