GOOD NEWS for BELIEVERS

 

Matthew 18:1-5

King James Version

18 At the same time 

came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, 

Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, 

and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself 

as this little child, 

the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive 

one such little child in my name 

receiveth me.


What can believers look forward to?

What are the promises JESUS gave us?

First, who are believers?

JESUS explains it best:

John 17:2-3

King James Version

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, 

that he should give eternal life 

to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal, 

that they might know thee the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ, 

whom thou hast sent.


Many people resent the gospel.

Many people don't believe.

Many don't want to believe.

Many become fearful when they hear of GOD's wrath.

This verse applies to those who believe:

John 10:27

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, 

and they follow me:


GOD's wrath applies to the wicked.

And those who deliberately deceive others.

Believers can expect GOOD NEWS from CHRIST.

Here's what born agains have been promised:

Eternal life

The Rapture

Salvation

Resurrection

Citizenship in Heaven

Kingdom of Heaven

GOD's Holy Hill

The New Jerusalem
