In U.S. Courts At The Conclusion Of A Trial, The Verdict Is Either Guilty Or Not Guilty. Note That It

In U.S. courts at the conclusion of a trial, the verdict is either ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty.’ Note that it is not GUILTY or INNOCENT, but that does not mean that they are the same! Here’s why.

At the end of the famous O.J. Simpson trial, he was found Not Guilty, but was he Innocent? Personally (and this is NOT a political comment!) I agreed with the verdict because there were both no eye-witnesses to the crime, and from my perspective and the evidence presented he was (in my thought, right or wrong) not found to be guilty ‘beyond a shadow of doubt.’ Therefore, it is possible to be found “Not Guilty” but not wholly “Innocent.”

At the end of your life, you will stand before the Supreme Judge in the Heavenly Court, and because God is Holy and cannot have any sin in his presence, his eye-witness evidence of every one of your crimes (“secret sins”, Psalm 19:13) will be presented fully and your verdict will be beyond a shadow of doubt - ‘GUILTY!’ But here is the good news…there IS a way to be found INNOCENT!

“While we were still sinners Christ died for us, and we have been justified by his blood sacrifice and saved by that through him.” Romans 5:8-9 (paraphrased)

This scripture says that because what Christ did on the cross for you, all your sins have been completely exonerated and paid for. His blood wipes your record clean, and you will not just be 'not guilty,' but marked as INNOCENT.

Friend, if you have not accepted this pardon by the Eternal Judge, why would you not want to?? Do not delay – there is no guarantee you will have another chance before the judge puts down his gavel. Ask God to forgive you today and let the saving edict of his merciful judgement pay for the crime of all your sins and declare you INNOCENT.

The Book of Revelation is not a 2,000 year old book. Rather, for those that compare it to the growing chaos in the world it’s instead a 21st century news ticker that explains exactly what is going on and WHY — but only for those looking at it.

Just as the Bible predicted, in these end times instead of people looking at reality, just as George Orwell said in his infamous book 1984, “They will be too busy looking at their screens” and being programmed to believe every misleading lie that is repeatedy being broadcast. As a result, the masses are being tricking into thinking that what they see is a 'warming' TrutH.

You see, the problem is that most people don’t want TRUTH — they just want constant reassurance that what they Believe IS TRUE. Just as a fireplace burning on a TV screen cannot keep you warm, you likewise can’t get truth from it either.

Friend, the only realiable source of truth and light is found from both the creator of truth and light and that is Jesus Christ and God’s 100% reliable guiding truth, the Bible.

What do you believe is the source of truth?

Whenever something is repeated in the Bible, God is asking us to Pay Attention!

Twenty-Five times Jesus used the phrase “Truly, Truly” and when all these verses are aggregated, it reads in the paraphrase that follows:

Verily, Verily I say unto you…

When you were young you thought yourself strong, you went and did whatever you wanted, but as you moved towards the end of your life you realized you needed help and reached out your hands to take you to a place you could not go on your own.

But those that have been deaf will now hear my voice, and those that do and believe in God and believe in me will not be condemned, but will pass beyond that place of death and go unto eternal life.

Before Abraham was, I AM, and in ancient days manna sustained people seeking after God, but your Heavenly Father is now offering you THE TRUE BREAD FROM HEAVEN. Now is the time to eat and drink from me as THE BREAD OF LIFE, but those that do not will not have my life in you.

All those that do not are in sin, and are the servants of sin. Although there are some that seek me, and have been filled with the good food of my sayings many still do not receive my testimony.

Instead, those that do not enter into my sheepfold but try entering into eternity by their own way are trying to steal their way in like a thief and a robber.

But I am the door of the sheep, and UNLESS YOU ARE BORN AGAIN of water and of the Spirit, you cannot enter into the kingdom of God. All those that keep my sayings will never see death.

On earth I did nothing of my own but I did what I saw the Father do. Likewise for all that believe in me, the works that I do you will also do - and even greater! Because I have gone unto my Father, you do not have to ask me anything because whatever ye will ask the Father in my name, He will give it to you. The servant is not greater than his lord, neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

All those that receive those that I have sent receive me, and all those that receive me receive God who sent me.

There was once one that betrayed me… And another that denied me three times.

When a seed goes into the ground it has to die, but afterwards springs forth and bears much fruit. (I shall also go into the ground and die) and you will be sorrowful while those against me will rejoice, but your sorrow will be turned into joy, especially when you see the time that heaven opens and the angels of God will be ascending and descending upon me.

'VERILY,' & 'TRULY' in the Greek New Testament is the word we know as 'AMEN' and truly these are the words and teachings that he wants us to have utmost in our minds.

Friend, as Jesus has said all these things to us, let us also respond saying 'AMEN!'

AMEN VERSES (all and only found in the Gospel of John): John 1:51, 3:03, 3:05, 3:11, 5:19, 5:24, 5:25, 6:26, 6:32, 6:47, 6:53, 8:34, 8:51, 8:58, 10:01, 10:07, 12:24, 13:16, 13:20, 13:21, 13:38, 14:12, 16:20, 16:23, 21:18

In a pounding rain storm a worker stood frantically waving a flag to oncoming motorists to divert them from danger on the road ahead that was rapidly being overcome by an overflowing river. All turned away except one driver that did not heed the warning and proceeded down the road only to suddenly be overcome by a deathly wall of water and was lost.

The message of the Bible is no different than that road worker. God has given us both an urgent warning and a road map on how to navigate the road of life such that we do not go past the sign this says DEAD END that leads to ETERNAL LOSS.

As today’s scripture verse says, those that are wise will seek the place of safe cover that God is offering in the Gospel, but those that do not care or are not thinking of where the life road ends will suffer a loss far greater than they could possibly imagine.

Friend, what does your heart tell you when seeing this sign? Will you heed the message to eternal blessing, or proceed forward to eternal sorrow?

f you ask some church members, “What does the Bible say about being saved?” they may say something like, 'Well, I guess it means following the Bible, going to church, being a good person, and saying Jesus is Lord.' Sadly there are people that call themselves 'christians' that feel that being or doing certain things that are good is all that is required to being accepted by God and that they will go to heaven. However, that is not what the Bible says.

As today’s scripture says we must KNOW CHRIST, not just KNOW ABOUT CHRIST, so even though these folks may know the PLAN, they do not know the MAN.

Jesus likewise will sadly tell those, when they stand before Him at the door of eternity…

“And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:23

Being a Christian and Christianity is not about knowing doctrine, theology, belonging to a good church, behaving well or doing good works. Instead, being a Christian is having a personal relationship with God, much like a child has with their father, and that is why we refer to him as “Our Heavenly Father.”

Friend, if this message strikes a nerve about where you are with God, look carefully at yourself and honestly ask, “Do I truly know Christ - and when I see Him - will he tell me that HE KNOWS ME??”

When we see symbols we usually have a good idea what they mean.

For example the barbershop pole means haircuts, the power button starts electronics, and the radiation symbol indicates danger ahead. Although the cross is the oldest and most recognizable of all symbols, few UNDERSTAND what IT means — and the significance and power behind it.

Today crosses are commonly worn as just another piece of jewelry or seen afixed to church buildings and when seen, most people give little or no thought to it, but if they came to understand the power behind it, they would realize that it is THE single most significant of all symbols!

You see, the cross is a powerful parable in wood of a true story that happened over two thousand years ago where an innocent man died —not for HIS crimes — but for the crimes of all people in all times - past, present and future, and that was Jesus Christ.

If you have never seriously considered who Christ is, why he died, and the power of the cross, today is the day you ought look seriously at understanding this mystery, and come to the “...full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.” (Colossians 2:2)

Friend, if there is ANY One Symbol that essential to understand, it is this one.
