WE ARE JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITHFUL ATTORNEY JESUS CHRIST...LETS LEAVE SIN THEREFORE!

 JESUS, OUR FAIR & FAITHFUL ATTORNEY

Please read below and see how harmful the sin we have committed is...

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23

Everyone who practices sin transgresses the Law; indeed, sin is the transgression of the Law.

1 John 3:4

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

John 8:34

He who practices sin is of the Devil, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this the Son of God appeared: to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9

Who hides their sins

does not prosper,

but whoever confesses and abandons them

find mercy.

Proverbs 28:13

Then I recognized before you my sin

and I did not cover up my faults.

I said, "I will confess my transgressions",

to the Lord,

and you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Psalms 32:5

For your name's sake, Lord,

forgive my sin, which is so great!

Psalms 25:11

How happy is that

who have their transgressions forgiven

and your sins blotted out!

Psalms 32:1

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life has set me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:1-2

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21

"If your brother sins against you, go and show him his error, alone with him. If he listens to you, you have won your brother. Matthew 18:15

Therefore, do not allow sin to continue to dominate your mortal body, causing you to obey its desires. Do not offer the members of your body to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness; rather, offer yourselves to God as one who has returned from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin will not dominate you, because you are not under the law, but under grace. And then? Are we going to sin because we are not under the Law, but under grace? In no way! Don't you know that when you offer yourself to someone to obey him as a slave, you become slaves to the one you obey: slaves of sin that leads to death, or of obedience that leads to righteousness? But, thank God, that even though you were slaves of sin, you began to obey from your heart the form of teaching that was transmitted to you. You were freed from sin and became slaves of righteousness.

Romans 6:12-18

Brethren, if anyone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him in meekness. But let each one take care that he too is not tempted. Bear one another's heavy burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:1-2

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another to be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.James 5:16

We know that whoever is born of God is not in sin; he who was born of God protects him, and the Evil One does not reach him. 1 John 5:18

If you forgive someone's sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, you are not forgiven." John 20:23

Therefore, let us leave the sin that tenaciously besets us and we can count on Jesus Christ, Our Just & Faithful Advocate:

1 John 2 :1-39

1 My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin; and if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world's.

3 And by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whosoever keepeth his word, the love of God is in him truly perfected; by this we know that we are in it.

6 He who says he is in him must also walk as he walked.

7 Brethren, I do not write to you a new commandment, but the old commandment, which you had from the beginning. This ancient commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

8 Again I write to you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness passes, and now the true light shines.

9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, has been in darkness until now.

10 He who loves his brother is in the light, and there is no offense in him.

11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he should go; because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

12 Little children, I am writing to you, because in his name your sins are forgiven.

13 Now no one has ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up;

15 That whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

17 For God sent his Son into the world, not that he should condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

18 Whoever believes in 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.

19 And this is the condemnation: that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his works be disapproved.

21 But whoever does the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be manifested, because they are done in God.

SIN BRINGS SUFFERING TO EARTH AND PEOPLE...

 WHY IS THE EARTH IN BIRTH PAINS?

And Jesus answering said to them: Take heed that no man deceive you;

For many will come in my name, saying: I am the Christ; and will deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; Look, do not be frightened, because all this must happen, but the end is not yet.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, and pestilence, and earthquakes, in various places.

But all these things are the beginning of pain.

Then they will deliver you up to be tormented, and they will kill you; and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.

At that time many will be offended, and they will betray one another, and they will hate one another.

And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many.

And because iniquity abounds, the love of many will grow cold.

But he who endures to the end, he will be saved.

Matthew 24:4-13

Jeremiah 10:01-25

1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.

2 Thus saith the LORD: Learn not the way of the nations, neither be dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are terrified of them,

3 for the customs of the people are vanity; A wood is cut from the forest and plowed with an ax by the hand of the craftsman.

4 They adorn it with silver and gold, they fasten it with nails and hammers, so that it cannot move.

5 They are like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, and cannot speak; they need someone to carry them, because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor do they have the power to do good.

6 There is none like you, O Lord; you are great, and great is your name in power.

7 Who would not fear you, O King of nations? for fear is owed to you; for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like you.

8 But they are all brutish and mad; the instruction of idols is like a tree.

9 They bring silver plated from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman, and the hand of the smelter; their dresses are blue and purple; expert work are all of them.

10 But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King, at his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot bear his indignation.

11 Thus shall ye say unto them: The gods which did not make heaven and earth, these shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.

12 He made the earth by his power; he established the world by his wisdom and by his intelligence he stretched out the heavens.

13 When he makes his voice sound, immediately there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain, and out of his treasures he makes the wind come out.

14 Every man is brutish and has no knowledge; of the carved image of him every smelter is ashamed; for the fused images of him are false, and in them there is no breath.

15 They are vanity, the work of deceit; at the time of their visitation they will perish.

16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. Lord of hosts is his name.

17 Take your bundle off the ground, you who dwell in a besieged place.

18 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will sling the inhabitants of the earth this time, and I will distress them, that they may come to feel it.

19 Woe is me because of my brokenness! my wound causes me great pain; but I had said: Surely this is my infirmity, and I must bear it.

20 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are torn; my children are gone from me, and they do not exist; there is none else to spread out my tent, and to lift up my curtains.

21 For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not sought the Lord; therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

22 Behold, a voice of rumor comes, a great tumult from the land of the north, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place for jackals.

23 I know, O Lord, that his way is not in man; nor is it of the man who walks to direct his steps.

24 Correct me, O Lord, but with just measure; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.

25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the families that do not call on your name; because they have devoured Jacob; yea, they devoured him, and consumed him, and laid waste his dwelling place.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

1 John 5:21

"Thou shalt have no other gods besides me. "Thou shalt not make for thyself any idol, nor any image of anything in heaven, or on earth, or in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing children for the sins of their fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who despise me, but dealing kindly. to a thousand generations to those who love me and keep my commandments. Exodus 20:3-6

"Do not turn to idols or make gods of metal for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 19:4

Their idols, of silver and gold,

are made by human hands. They have a mouth but cannot speak;

eyes, but cannot see; they have ears but cannot hear;

nose, but cannot smell; they have hands, but cannot feel anything;

feet, but cannot walk;

and they make no sound in their throats. Let those who make them become like them

and all who trust in them.

Psalms 115:4-8

Claiming to be wise, they became mad and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made after the likeness of mortal man, as well as birds, quadrupeds, and reptiles.

Romans 1:22-23

"Cursed is anyone who carves an image or makes a cast idol, the work of craftsmen, detestable to the Lord, and raises it up secretly."

All the people will say, 'Amen!'

Deuteronomy 27:15

half of the wood

he burns in the fire;

on it he prepares his meal,

he roasts the meat and eats his portion.

He also warms up and says:

"Ah! I'm warm;

I see fire.” Of the rest he makes a god, his idol;

bow down to him and worship him.

He prays to him and says, "Save me;

you are my god.” They know nothing, understand nothing;

your eyes are covered,

can't see,

and their minds are closed,

can't understand. To think no one stops,

no one has the knowledge

or understanding to say:

"Half of it I used as fuel;

I even baked bread over its coals,

I roasted meat and ate.

would I do something disgusting

with what's left?

would I kneel before

from a piece of wood?" It feeds on ash,

a deluded heart leads it astray;

he is unable to save himself

or to say:

"This thing in my right hand

isn't it a lie?"

Isaiah 44:16-20

"Do not make idols or images or sacred pillars for yourselves, and do not place any carved stone in your land to bow down to it. I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 26:1

The religious customs of nations are useless:

a tree is cut down in the forest,

a craftsman shapes it with his chisel; adorn it with silver and gold,

holding everything with hammer and nails

so that it doesn't wobble. like a scarecrow

in a cucumber field,

idols are unable to speak

and have to be transported

because they can't walk.

Don't be afraid of them,

because they can't do

neither bad nor good".

Jeremiah 10:3-5

all these men

they are stupid and ignorant;

every goldsmith is ashamed

for the image he carved.

Your carved images

are a fraud

they have no breath of life. are useless,

are objects of mockery.

When their judgment comes,

will perish.

Jeremiah 10:14-15

"What's the use of an image made

by a sculptor?

Or a metal idol

who teaches lies?

For the one who does

trust your own creation,

making idols unable to speak. Woe to him who says to wood:

'Awake!'

Or to the lifeless stone: 'Wake up!'

Can the idol give guidance?

It's covered in gold and silver,

but don't breathe. The Lord, however,

he is in his holy temple;

before him be silent

all the earth".

Habakkuk 2:18-20

I will destroy your carved images

and its sacred pillars;

you won't bow anymore

before the work of his hands.

Micah 5:13

So what am I saying? Is the sacrifice offered to an idol anything? Or is the idol something? No! I mean that what pagans sacrifice is offered to demons and not to God, and I don't want you to have fellowship with demons.

1 Corinthians 10:19-20

"So, since we are the offspring of God, we should not think that the Godhead is like a sculpture of gold, silver, or stone, made by the art and imagination of man. In the past God did not take account of this ignorance, but now commands that everyone, everywhere, repent. Acts 17:29-30

IS YOUR BRANCH LINKED TO THE VINE?

BE CONNECTED TO THE VINE TO GIVE GOOD FRUIT... OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE THROWN OUT IN THE DARKNESS...

JOHN 15:1-27

Continuation of the last instructions to the disciples - Intimate union between Jesus and the believers

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that bears no fruit, take it away; and cleanse all that bear fruit, that she may bear more fruit.

3 You are already clean by the word that I have spoken to you.

4 Be in me, and I in you; as the rod of itself cannot bear fruit if it is not in the vine, so also you if you are not in me.

5 I am the vine, you the branches; whoever is in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; because without me you can do nothing.

6 If anyone is not in me, he will be cast out, like a rod, and wither; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they burn.

7 If you are in me, and my words are in you, you will ask for anything you want, and it will be done for you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so will you be my disciples.

9 As the Father loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.

10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11 I have told you this, that my joy may abide in you, and your joy may be full.

12 My commandment is this: That you love one another, as I have loved you.

13 No one has a greater love than this, to give someone their life for their friends.

14 You will be my friends if you do what I command you.

15 I will no longer call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you, and named you, that you might go and bear fruit, and your fruit abiding; so that whatever in my name you ask the Father he may grant you.

17 This I command you: Love one another.

18 If the world hates you, know that it hated me first than you.

19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own, but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, that is why the world hates you.

20 Remember the word that he said unto you, The servant is not greater than his LORD. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

21 But all this they will do to you because of my name, because they don't know the one who sent me.

22 If I had not come, nor had I spoken to them, they would not have sinned, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23 He who hates me hates my Father also.

24 If I had not done among them such works, which no one else has done, they would not have sin; but now they saw them and hated me and my Father.

25 But it is that the word which is written in their law may be fulfilled: They hated me without a cause.

26 But when the Comforter comes, whom I from the Father will send to you, that Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me.

27 And ye shall also testify, for ye have been with me from the beginning.

ARE YOU SERVANT OF THE ETERNAL?

 THE ETERNAL HAS NOT CALLED US TO IMPURITY... BEWARE OF SENSUALITY!

                       I THESSALONIANS 4:1-12

Exhortation to holiness, brotherly love and work

1 FINALLY, brethren, we beseech you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that just as you have received from us, in what way should you walk and please God, so walk, that you may progress more and more.

2 For you know well what commandments we have given you through the Lord Jesus.

3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; to abstain from prostitution;

4 May each of you know that he possesses his vessel in sanctification and honor;

5 Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles, who do not know God.

6 Let no one oppress or deceive his brother in any business, for the LORD is the avenger of all these things, as we also told you and testified before.

7 For God called us not to uncleanness, but to sanctification.

8 Therefore, whoever despises this does not despise man, but God, who also gave us his Holy Spirit.

9 But as for brotherly love, you do not need me to write to you, since you yourselves are instructed by God to love one another;

10 For even thus ye do it unto all the brethren that are throughout all Macedonia. We urge you, however, to increase in this still more and more.

11 And try to live quietly, and mind your own affairs, and work with your own hands, as we have commanded you;

12 That you may walk honestly with outsiders, and need nothing.

THE BIBLE CLARIFIES...

 JESUS ​​DOES NOT HAVE COMMUNION WITH DEMONS...

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

John 8:12

1 John 1

1 What was from the beginning, what we heard, what we saw with our eyes, what we have beheld, and our hands have touched the Word of life

2 (For life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testified of it, and proclaimed unto you eternal life, which was with the Father, and was made manifest to us);

3 What we have seen and heard, we tell you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

4 These things we write to you, that your joy may be fulfilled.

5 And this is the message that we hear from him, and tell you, that God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practice the truth.

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 5:

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and whoever loves him who begat him also loves him who is born of him.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome.

4 For everyone who is born of God conquers the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.

5 Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is the one who came by water and blood, that is, Jesus Christ; not just by water, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is what testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7 For there are three that testify in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one.

8 And three are they that testify on earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one.

9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that of his Son he testified.

10 Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of his Son.

11 And the testimony is this: that God has given us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.

12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe in the name of the Son of God.

14 And this is the confidence we have in him, that if we ask anything, according to his will, he hears us.

15 And if we know that he hears us in all that we ask, we know that we have reached the requests we asked of him.

16 If anyone sees his brother sin, a sin that is not unto death, he will pray, and God will give life to those who do not sin unto death. There is sin unto death, and for that I do not say that you pray.

17 All iniquity is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

18 We know that everyone who is born of God does not sin; but what is begotten of God retains itself, and the evil one does not touch it.

19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is in the evil one.

20 And we know that the Son of God is already come, and has given us understanding that we may know the True One; and in what is true we are, that is, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

21 Little children, beware of idols. Amen.

JESUS ​​IS LIGHT AND HE DOES NOT HAVE COMMUNION WITH DARKNESS. WHEN JESUS ​​ARRIVES, HIS LIGHT MAKES THE DARKNESS REVEAL. THE LIGHT DISPASSES THE DARKNESS AND THE DARKNESS CANNOT RESIST IT...THE PROOF OF THAT ARE IN THE PASSAGES BELOW:

Mark 5:1-24

1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the province of the Gadarenes.

2 And when he came out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit met him straightway out of the tombs;

3 Who had his abode in the sepulchres, and even with chains could no one bind him;

4 For, having been bound many times with fetters and chains, the chains were torn in pieces by him, and the fetters in crumbs, and no one could tame him.

5 And he walked always, day and night, crying in the mountains and in the sepulchres, and smiting himself with stones.

6 And when he saw Jesus in the distance, he ran and worshiped him.

7 And crying with a loud voice, he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God not to torment me.

8 (Because he said to him, Come out of this man, you unclean spirit.)

9 And he asked him, What is your name? And he answered him, saying, Legion is my name, because we are many.

10 And he begged him very much that he would not send them out of that province.

11 And a great herd of swine was there grazing in the mountain.

12 And all those demons besought him, saying, Send us to those swine, that we may enter them.

13 And Jesus soon permitted him. And when those unclean spirits came out, they entered the swine; and the herd rushed over a cliff into the sea (there were nearly two thousand), and they drowned in the sea.

14 And they that grazed the swine fled, and preached it in the city and in the fields; and many went out to see what had happened.

15 And they went to Jesus, and saw the demon-possessed, the one who had the legion, sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, and they feared.

16 And those who had seen it told them what had happened to the demoniac, and concerning the swine.

17 And they began to plead with him to leave his terms.

18 And when he got into the boat, he besought the one who had been demonized to let him be with him.

19 But Jesus would not permit him, but said unto him, Go home to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.

20 And he went, and began to declare in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone marveled.

21 And as Jesus passed over again in a boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

22 And, behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus, came, and when he saw him, he fell down at his feet,

23 And he pleaded with her much, saying, My daughter is at death; I beg you to come and lay your hands on her so that she may heal and live.

24 And a great multitude went with him, and a great multitude followed him.

And when evening had come, many demon-possessed were brought to him, and he at his word cast out the spirits from them, and healed all that were sick;

So that what had been said by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, which says: He took our infirmities upon Himself, and took our sicknesses away.

And Jesus, seeing a great multitude around him, bade them pass over to the other side;

And a scribe approached him and said to him, Master, wherever you go, I will follow you.

And Jesus said, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.

And another one of his disciples said to him: Lord, let me first go and bury my father.

But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him;

And behold, there arose a storm upon the sea, so great that the ship was covered with waves; he, however, was sleeping.

And his disciples, approaching, awakened him, saying: Lord, save us! that we perish.

And he said to them, Why fear ye, you of little faith? Then, rising, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm ensued.

And those men marveled, saying, What man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

And when he reached the other side, into the province of the Gergesenes, two demon-possessed people from the tombs met him; so fierce were they that no one could pass that way.

And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God? Did you come here to torment us before our time?

And a herd of many pigs was grazing away from them.

And the demons besought him, saying, If you cast us out, let us enter that herd of swine.

And he said to them: Go. And as they left, they introduced themselves into the herd of swine; and behold, all that herd of swine rushed over a cliff into the sea, and died in the waters.

The pigsmen fled and, arriving in the city, disclosed everything that had happened to the demon-possessed.

And behold, all that city went out to meet Jesus, and seeing him, they begged him to depart from their borders.

Matthew 8:16-34

And they sailed to the land of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

And when he went down to earth, there came out to meet him, from the city, a man who had long been possessed of demons, and who was not clothed, nor dwelt in any house, but in tombs.

And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him, crying out, and saying with a loud voice, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I ask you not to torment me.

Because he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of that man; for a long time it had snatched him. And they kept him bound, with fetters and chains; but, breaking the prisons, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said: Legion; because many demons had entered him.

And they begged him not to send them into the abyss.

And a herd of many pigs was there grazing on the hill; and they begged him to let them enter them; and he granted it to him.

And when the demons of man had gone out, they entered the swine, and the herd rushed from a cliff into the lake, and was drowned.

And those who guarded them, seeing what had happened, fled, and went to announce it in the city and in the fields.

And they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus. Then they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, clothed, and in his judgment, sitting at the feet of Jesus; and feared.

And those who had seen told them also how the demon-possessed had been saved.

And all the multitude of the land of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; because they were possessed with great fear. And getting into the boat, he came back.

And that man, from whom the demons had come, begged him to let him be with him; but Jesus dismissed him, saying:

Return to your house, and tell what great things God has done for you. And he went on proclaiming throughout the city how great things Jesus had done for him.

And it so happened that when Jesus returned, the crowd received him, because everyone was waiting for him.

DON'T DO YOURSELF ANY EVIL!

 SAY NO TO THE DEVIL'S SUGGESTIONS

There are moments in life that, even believing in God and His Word, we are taken by moments of darkness, where fear and despair knock at the door of our souls, death anguish surround us, suggesting as a solution: death, that is, , or suicide. Where it seems that your experiences with God and what you know from the Word seems to be of no use. Feelings of discouragement, boredom, anguish, take the heart! The person sees no way out, except for suicide. This is a devil's mistake! It's an ordeal! For God, suicide is a sin, as it interferes with His plan in the person's life, and we know that murderers or, in this case, suicides will not inherit the kingdom of God. We shouldn't try to solve our problems that way. And yes, with the help of God in Christ Jesus. We need to understand that men and women of God, Christians can go through these times too. Elijah even asked for death as well as Jonah. The psalmist David, also went through the pangs of death in his soul despite being a man after God's own heart. we must resist the devil

(James 4:07), that he will flee from you. It is necessary to say no! to evil suggestions and trust in God who is mighty to sustain you, free you and remove the chains that bind your soul. The Acts 16 jailer went through this. Seeing that the prison doors were open, he feared that he would be killed as a punishment, in a thoughtless act, he would commit suicide until the apostle Paul says: Don't do yourself any harm! He preached to the jailer and his family, they were baptized and there was restoration! God has the ability to turn adverse situations into a blessing!

Acts 16:12-40

12 And thence to Philippi, which is the first city in this part of Macedonia, and is a colony; and we were in this city for a few days.

13 And on the sabbath day we went out of the gates, to the bank of the river, where they used to pray; and, sitting down, we spoke to the women who were gathered there.

14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, from the city of Thyatira, and who was serving God, listened to us, and the Lord opened her heart so that she would pay attention to what Paul was saying.

15 And after she was baptized, she and her house pleaded with us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay there. And she constrained us to that.

16 And it came to pass, as we were going to prayer, that there met us a young woman, having a spirit of divination, who, by guessing, brought her masters great profit.

17 She, following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men, who tell us the way of salvation, are servants of the Most High God.

18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, troubled, turned and said to the spirit: In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to come out of her. And right away she left.

19 And when his lords saw that the hope of their gain was lost, they seized Paul and Silas, and brought them into the square before the magistrates.

20 And presenting them to the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, have disturbed our city,

21 And they expose us to customs which it is not lawful for us to receive or practice, since we are Romans.

22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing their garments, had them scourged with rods.

23 And having given them many scourges, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them safely.

24 Who, having received this command, threw them into the inner prison, and held their feet in the stocks.

25 And about midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang hymns to God, and the other prisoners listened to them.

26 And suddenly there came such a great earthquake, that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the gates were opened, and the prisons of all were released.

27 And when the jailer awoke, and saw the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and wanted to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had already fled.

28 But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, Don't do yourself any harm, for we are all here.

29 And asking for light, he jumped in and, all trembling, prostrated himself before Paul and Silas.

30 And taking them out, he said, Gentlemen, what must I do to save myself?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

32 And they preached the word of the Lord to him, and to all that were in his house.

33 And when he took them with him at that very hour of the night, he washed their welts; and soon he was baptized, he and all his.

34 And taking them to his house, he set their table for them; and, in his belief in God, he rejoiced in his whole house.

35 And when it was daylight, the magistrates sent bandits, saying, Release those men.

36 And the jailer announced these words to Paul, saying, The magistrates have commanded that I should release you; now therefore go out and go in peace.

37 But Paul replied, Have they publicly scourged us, and without being condemned, being Roman men, have thrown us into prison, and now covertly cast us out? It won't be like that; but come yourselves and take them out.

38 And the gangsters went to tell the magistrates these words; and they feared, hearing that they were Romans.

39 And when they came, they addressed supplications to them; and taking them out, they asked them to leave the city.

40 And coming out of prison, they went into Lydia's house, and seeing the brothers, they comforted them, and then they left.

Psalm 116:01-19

1 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplication.

2 For he inclined his ear to me; therefore, I will invoke him as long as I live.

3 The cords of death encircled me, and the anguish of hell seized me; I found tightness and sadness.

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord, saying, O Lord, deliver my soul.

5 The Lord is pious and righteous; our God has mercy.

6 The Lord keeps the simple; I was shot down, but he delivered me.

7 Return, my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has done you good.

8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from the fall.

9 I will walk before the face of the LORD in the land of the living.

10 Cri, that's why I said it. I was very upset.

11 I said in my haste: All men are liars.

12 What shall I give the Lord for all the benefits He has done me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.

14 I will pay my vows to the Lord now, in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16 O LORD, I am indeed your servant; I am thy servant, son of thy handmaid; you loosened my bandages.

17 I will offer you sacrifices of praise, and call on the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all my people,

19 In the courts of the house of the LORD, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the lord.

SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO THE CREATOR YHWH IN THE NAME OF YOUR SON JESUS...

 EVERYTHING IS VANITY AND RUNNING BEHIND THE WIND...

the shortness of life

1 John 2:17

17 The world and its covetousness pass away, but he who does God's will remains forever.

If we wait on Christ only in this life, we are the most miserable of all men.

But in fact Christ rose from the dead, and was made the firstfruits of them that sleep.

Because just as death came by a man, so the resurrection of the dead came by a man.

For just as all die in Adam, so also all will be made alive in Christ.

But each by his order: Christ the firstfruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.

1 Corinthians 15:19-23

ECCLESIASTES 1:1-18

the vanity of all things earthly

1 WORDS of the preacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem.

2 Vanity of vanities, says the preacher, vanity of vanities! Everything is vanity.

3 What profit does a man have out of all his work that he does under the sun?

4 One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.

5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and he hastens and returns to his place where he was born.

6 The wind goes to the south, and turns to the north; the wind continually rotates, and returns making its circuits.

7 All rivers go to the sea, and yet the sea is not filled; to the place where the rivers go, there they run again.

8 All things are laborious; man cannot express it; the eyes are not filled with seeing, nor the ears filled with hearing.

9 What was, that is what will be; and what has been done, that will be done; so that there is nothing new under the sun.

10 Is there anything that can be said: See, is this new? It was centuries past, which were before us.

11 There is no longer any remembrance of the things that went before, and of the things that shall be of them, there shall be no remembrance of them among those that shall come after.

12 I, the preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

13 And I set my heart to search, and to inform myself in wisdom, of all that goes on under heaven; this tedious occupation God gave to the children of men, to exercise them in it.

14 I saw all the works that are done under the sun, and, behold, it was all vanity and a distress of spirit.

15 That which is crooked cannot be straightened out; what is missing cannot be calculated.

16 I spoke with my heart, saying, Behold, I have magnified myself, and surpassed in wisdom all that were before me in Jerusalem; and my heart abundantly beheld wisdom and knowledge.

17 And I set my heart to know wisdom, and to know folly and folly, and I came to know that this also was a tribulation of spirit.

18 For in great wisdom there is much weariness; and what increases in knowledge, increases in pain.

ECCLESIASTES 2:10-26

10 And all that mine eyes desired I did not deny them, nor deprive my heart of any joy; but my heart was glad for all my work, and this was my portion of all my work.

11 And I looked upon all the works that my hands had done, and also upon the work which I, laboring, had done, and behold, it was all vanity and affliction of spirit, and what profit was none under the sun.

12 Then I proceeded to behold wisdom, and folly, and folly. For what will the man who follows the king do? The same thing others have done.

13 Then I saw that wisdom is more excellent than folly, as light is more excellent than darkness.

14 A wise man's eyes are in his head, but a fool walks in darkness; then I also understood that the same thing happens to them both.

15 So I said in my heart, As it happens to a fool, so it will happen to me; why then did I seek more wisdom? Then I said in my heart that this too was vanity.

16 For there will never be more remembrance of the wise than of the fool; because of everything, in the days to come, there will be total oblivion. And as the wise dies, so dies the fool!

17 Therefore I hated this life, for the work that is done under the sun was painful to me; yes, everything is vanity and affliction of spirit.

18 Also I hated all my work, which I did under the sun, inasmuch as I was to leave it to the man who came after me.

19 And who knows whether he will be wise or foolish? However, he will master all my work that I have done and in which I have been wisely under the sun; this too is vanity.

20 So I turned and gave my heart to despair over the work, which I did under the sun.

21 For there is a man whose work is done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he will leave his work as a portion of those who did not work in it; this too is vanity and great evil.

22 For what else has a man of all his labor, and the affliction of his heart, in which he is laboring under the sun?

23 For all his days are pains, and his occupation is affliction; even at night his heart does not rest; this too is vanity.

24 There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy the good of his work. I also saw that this comes from the hand of God.

25 For who can eat, or who can enjoy better than I?

26 For to a man that is good before him God giveth wisdom and knowledge and joy; but give the sinner work, that he may gather, and heap up, to give it to what is good before God. This too is vanity and affliction of spirit.

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-22

There is for all things a time determined by God

1 EVERYTHING has its appointed time, and there is a time for every purpose under heaven.

2 There is a time to be born, and a time to die; time to plant, and time to pull out what was planted;

3 Kill time, and heal time; a time to tear down, and a time to build;

4 A time to cry, and a time to laugh; time to mourn, and time to dance;

5 A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather stones; time to embrace, and time to withdraw from embrace;

6 Time to seek, and time to lose; a time to save, and a time to cast away;

7 Time to tear, and time to sew; time to be silent, and time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; wartime, and peacetime.

9 What profit does the worker have in what he works for?

10 I have seen the work that God has given the children of men, to exercise them with.

11 Everything made him beautiful in his time; he also put the world in man's heart, without man's being able to discover the work that God has done from the beginning to the end.

12 I have come to understand that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do well in their lives;

13 And also, let every man eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his work; this is a gift from God.

14 I know that whatever God does will last forever; nothing should be added to it, and nothing taken from it; and this does God that there might be fear before him.

15 What is, is gone; and what has to be, has already been; and God asks for an account of what happened.

16 I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there was iniquity.

17 I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; because there is a time for every purpose and for every work.

18 I said in my heart, as to the condition of the children of men, that God would try them, that they might thus see that they are in themselves like beasts.

19 For what happens to the children of men, this also happens to the beasts, and the same thing happens to them; as one dies, so dies the other; and all have the same breath, and the advantage of men over animals is none, because all are vanity.

20 Everyone goes to one place; all were made of dust, and all will return to dust.

21 Who knows that the breath of man goes up, and the breath of beasts goes down to the earth?

22 So I have seen that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his works, for that is his portion; for who will turn him back to see what will be after him?

ECCLESIASTES 4:1-6

The evils and tribulations of life

1 THEN I turned, and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun; and behold, I saw the tears of them that were oppressed, and of them that had no comforter, and strength was on the side of their oppressors; but they had no comforter.

2 Therefore I praised those who have died more than those who are still alive.

3 And better than either is he who is not yet; that he has not seen the evil works that are done under the sun.

4 Also I saw that all work, and all skill in works, make a man to envy his neighbor. This too is vanity and affliction of spirit.

5 A fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh.

6 Better is the hand full with rest than both hands full with toil, and affliction of spirit.

ECCLESIASTES 5:7-20

7 For as in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, so also in many words; but you fear God.

8 If you see in any province the oppression of the poor, and the violence of law and justice, do not marvel at such a course; for he who is highly placed has a superior who watches over him; and there are taller than them.

9 The benefit of the land is for everyone; even the king uses the field.

10 Whoever loves money will never be satisfied with it; and whoever loves abundance will never be satisfied with income; this too is vanity.

11 Where goods are increased, there are also increased those who eat of them; what more profit then have their masters than seeing them with their eyes?

12 Sweet is the sleep of the worker, whether he eats little or much; but the richness of the rich does not let him sleep.

13 There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun, and it attracts sickness: the riches that their owners keep for their own harm;

14 For the same riches are lost by any bad luck, and if there is a son, nothing remains in his hand.

15 As he came out of his mother's womb, so shall he return naked, going as he came; and you will take nothing of his work, which you can take in his hand.

16 So this also is a grievous evil, which, just as it came, so shall it go; and what good is it to you from working for the wind,

17 And of having eaten all his days in darkness, and of having suffered much weary, and infirmity, and fury?

18 Here is what I saw, a good and beautiful thing: to eat and drink, and to enjoy each one of the good of all his work, in which he labored under the sun, all the days of life that God gave him, because this is your portion.

19 And to every man, to whom God has given riches and goods, and given him power to eat of them, and to take his portion, and to enjoy his labor, this is the gift of God.

20 For he will not remember much of the days of his life; for God fills his heart with joy.

ECCLESIASTES 6:1-12

It is lawful to enjoy the goods that God has given, but these cannot satisfy the soul

1 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is very frequent among men:

2 A man to whom God has given riches, wealth, and honor, and lacks nothing of all that his soul desires, and God does not give him power to eat thence, but a stranger eats of him; this too is vanity and evil infirmity.

3 If a man begets a hundred children, and lives many years, and the days of his years are many, and if his soul is not satisfied with good, and besides he has no grave, I say that an abortion is better than he.

4 For he came in vain, and in darkness he departs, and his name is covered by darkness.

5 And though he never saw the sun, nor knew anything, more rest has this than that.

6 And though he lived twice a thousand years and did not enjoy good, do they not all go to one place?

7 All a man's work is for his mouth, and yet his spirit is never satisfied.

8 For what more has a wise man than a fool? And what else has the poor man who knows how to walk before the living?

9 Better is the sight of the eye than the wandering of covetousness; this too is vanity and affliction of spirit.

10 Whatever it is, his name has already been named, and it is known that he is a man, and that he cannot contend with that which is stronger than he.

11 Truly, there are many things that multiply vanity; what else does the best man have?

12 For who knows what is good for a man in this life, for all the days of his life of vanity, which he spends as a shadow? Who will declare to man what will be after him under the sun?

ECCLESIASTES 7:1-13

The advantages of suffering, patience and moderation

1 BETTER is good reputation than better ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

2 Better to go to the house where there is mourning than to go to the house where there is a banquet, for in that is the end of all men, and the living apply it to their hearts.

3 Sorrow is better than laughter, because the sadness of the face makes the heart better.

4 The hearts of the wise are in the house of mourning, but the hearts of fools in the house of joy.

5 Better to hear a wise man's rebuke than to hear someone else's song.

6 For like the crackling of thorns under a pot, such is the laugh of a fool; this too is vanity.

7 Truly oppression would drive even the wise man mad, and bribery corrupts the heart.

8 Better is the end of things than their beginning; better is the patient of mind than the haughty of mind.

9 Do not be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the depths of fools.

10 Never say: Why were the days gone by better than these? Because this question does not come from wisdom.

11 Wisdom is as good as the inheritance, and those who see the sun benefit from it.

12 For wisdom is a defense, as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to its possessor.

13 Attentive to the work of God; because who can straighten out what he made crooked?

ECCLESIASTES 8:1-17

the obedience due to the king

1 WHO is like the sage? And who knows the interpretation of things? The man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face changes.

2 I say: Observe the commandment of the king, and this in consideration of the oath which thou hast sworn to God.

3 Do not be hasty out of his presence, nor persist in anything bad, for he does all he will.

4 For the king's word has power; and who will say to him: What are you doing?

5 Whoever keeps the commandment will experience no harm; and the heart of the wise will discern the time and the judgment.

6 For for every purpose there is its time and judgment; because man's misery weighs on him.

7 For he does not know what will happen, and when it will be, who will tell him?

8 There is no man who has dominion over the spirit, to retain it; nor does he have power over the day of death; as there is no license in this battle either; nor will wickedness deliver the wicked.

9 All this I saw when I applied my heart to all the work that is done under the sun; there is a time when a man has dominion over another man, to his disgrace.

10 So also I saw the wicked, when they were buried; and they went in, and out of the holy place; and were forgotten in the city, where they did so; that too is vanity.

The sinner is not punished right away. the righteous often find themselves in adversity

11 Because judgment is not immediately carried out on an evil work, therefore the hearts of the children of men are wholly disposed to do evil.

12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are long, yet I know for a certainty, that it is good for them that fear God, to them that fear before him.

13 But the wicked will not do well, and he will not prolong his days, which are like a shadow; because he does not fear before God.

14 There is yet another vanity that is done on the earth: that there are righteous whom succeed according to the works of the ungodly, and there are wicked whom succeed according to the works of the righteous. I say that this too is vanity.

15 Then I praised joy, because for a man there is nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and rejoice; for that will accompany him in his work in the days of his life that God gives him under the sun.

16 As I apply my heart to know wisdom, and to see the work that is on earth (which neither by day nor by night does a man see sleep in his eyes);

17 Then I saw all the work of God, which man cannot perceive, the work that is done under the sun, however much a man labors to discover it, he will not find it; and even if the sage says that he knows it, he will not be able to understand it.

ECCLESIASTES 9:1-18

The same things happen to the just and the unjust - Let us enjoy the goods that God gives us

1 MUST all these things I have considered in my heart, to declare all these: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God, and man also knows neither love nor hate; everything passes before him.

2 Everything happens equally to everyone; so with the righteous and the wicked, with the good and the pure, as with the unclean; so to the one who sacrifices and to the one who does not sacrifice; both the good and the sinner; to the one who swears as to the one who fears the oath.

3 This is the evil that is in all that is done under the sun; the same thing happens to everyone; and that also the hearts of the children of men are full of iniquity, and that their hearts are wild while they live, and afterward they go to the dead.

4 Now to him that is among the living there is hope (because a live dog is better than a dead lion).

5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, neither will they have any reward, but their memory is left to be forgotten.

6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have perished, and they have no part for ever, in anything that is done under the sun.

7 Go, eat your bread with gladness, and drink your wine with a glad heart, for now God is pleased with your works.

8 Let your clothes be white at all times, and your head never lack oil.

9 Enjoy life with the woman whom you love, all the days of your vain life, which God gave you under the sun, all the days of your vanity; for this is your portion in this life, and in your work, which you have done under the sun.

10 Whatever you find at hand to do, do it according to your strength, for in the grave, whither you go, there is no work, no plan, no knowledge, no wisdom.

Wisdom is often more useful to others than to the one who has it.

11 I turned, and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the wise, nor favor to the learned, but that time and opportunity occur to everyone.

12 That man also does not know his time; just as the fish that are caught with the evil net, and like the little birds that are caught with the snare, so also the children of men are snared in bad weather, when it suddenly falls upon them.

13 I also saw this wisdom under the sun, which was great for me:

14 There was a small city in which there were few men, and a great king came against it, and besieged it, and raised great bulwarks against it;

15 And there was found in her a poor wise man, who delivered that city by his wisdom, and no one remembered that poor man.

16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength, though the poor man's wisdom was despised, and his words were not heeded.

17 The words of the wise are to be silently heard, rather than the cry of the ruler among fools.

18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys many goods.

ECCLESIASTES 11:7-10

7 Surely the light is gentle, and it is pleasing to the eye to see the sun.

8 But if a man lives many years, and rejoices in all of them, he must also remember the days of darkness, for there will be many. Everything that happens is vanity.

9 Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart be refreshed in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.

10 Turn away therefore the wrath of your heart, and remove evil from your flesh, for adolescence and youth are vanity.

ECCLESIASTES 12:1-14

The youth must prepare for old age and for death

1 REMEMBER thy Creator also in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years come in which thou shalt say, I am not content in them;

2 Before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds come again after the rain;

3 In the day when the guards of the house tremble, and the strong men bow down, and the grinders cease, because they are few, and those who look in the windows are dark;

4 And the street doors are closed because of the low noise of grinding, and the voice of the birds rises, and all the daughters of music are slain.

5 As also when they fear what is high, and there is terror in the way, and the almond tree blossoms, and the locust is a burden, and the appetite perishes; for a man goes to his eternal house, and mourners go round about the square;

6 Before the silver cord is broken, and the golden cup be broken, and the pitcher by the fountain broken, and the wheel by the well be broken,

7 And the dust returns to the earth, as it was, and the spirit returns to God, who gave it.

8 Vanity of vanities, says the preacher, everything is vanity.

9 And the wiser the preacher was, the more he taught the people wisdom; and heeding, and scrutinizing, he composed many proverbs.

The whole duty of man is to fear God and keep his commandments

10 The preacher sought to find pleasant words; and he wrote them with righteousness, words of truth.

11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails, well fixed by the masters of the assemblies, given to us by the one Shepherd.

12 And, too much of this, my son, beware: there is no limit to making books, and hard studying is a weariness of the flesh.

13 From all that has been heard, the end is: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is every man's duty.

14 For God will bring every work to judgment, and even all that is hidden, whether it be good or whether it be bad.
