The Bible is More than Just Words from Human Beings

1 Thessalonians 2:13-16

• The Gospel is More than Human Words
• Sufferings of Believers.
• Contrary to all Human Beings.
• Silencing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of the Red Cross or of Jesus Christ?
The Bible seems like a book that might be found under the counter at a Goodwill or Red Cross. At its best secular evaluation, it’s credited for helping people through rough patches or for inspiring humanitarian efforts. Except the Gospel of Christ is not a part of their mission statement. They probably haven’t a clue that the inner presence is the mark of the beast that is written about in the New and Old Testament. The Bible is much more than just the word of human beings, it is the Word of God. I live my life according to the Bible through the Spirit of Jesus Christ. God’s Word helps me tremendously to navigate through these days of affliction and turmoil. The Gospel of Christ works in me effectually.

“For this cause also thank we God without ceasing,
because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us,
you received it not as the word of men,
but as it is in truth, the word of God,
which effectually works also in you that believe.”
1 Thessalonians 2:13

Sufferings of Believers.
Those of us who live for Jesus Christ know the Bible is the Word of God, and suffering comes because of that. Christians are despised because Jesus Christ is chosen over the inner presence of the mark of the beast. Christians separate themselves from the society that is dominated by those who live for the mark. It makes us despised everywhere we go because the inner government dominates in every city around the world. It’s easy to see how Christians and the Bible are marginalized, and even persecuted by the psychotic “lamb.”

“For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God
which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus:
for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen,
even as they have of the Jews:”
1 Thessalonians 2:14

Contrary to all Human Beings.
When Thessalonians was written, the Jews were persecuting those who came to God through Jesus Christ. Not only did they kill their own Prophets who spoke against them, but they are the ones who killed the Lord Jesus Christ. But death wasn’t the end, He got up out of the grave after three days and now is with God eternally. Today, the Spirit of Christ is marked for death and anyone who publicly speaks the message of the Cross is silenced. Christians are being persecuted.

Those who govern by the mark of the beast are contrary to human beings, they do not want human sentimentalities to exist. If people felt emotional about the atrocities in the world today, the Holy Spirit would turn them to Jesus Christ. That is why the inner government is against humanness and the Spirit of Jesus. Instead, they govern by forming thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to prevent conversions that are against them. When they dominate what a person thinks, feels, or does, it eliminates the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and Christianity.

“Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets,
and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:”
1 Thessalonians 2:15

Silencing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
The silencing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is for obvious reasons, it brings Salvation and interferes with the inner presence of the mark of the beast. The Holy Spirit works within the human spirit and emotions to bring people to God through Jesus Christ. Humans receive Salvation through Jesus Christ, those who live by the inner presence of the mark of the beast do not. The silencing of the Gospel of Christ is obvious; there are no social media sites that provides personal categories for “Jesus Christ,” “Christians, ” etc. There are no apartment complexes around where I live that allows door-to-door evangelism. Where I live, the city does not provide for street preaching or any other type of public evangelism, etc. The Word of God is being contained and it’s spread is being eliminated. I miss home Bible fellowship.

Jesus Christ will return, and the wrath of God will be on this earth. There is eternal life for those whose sin is atoned for through Jesus Christ, but eternal torment for those who reject Him.

“Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved,
to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.”
1 Thessalonians 2:16
