So, JESUS WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN: The Truth Revealed!

JESUS WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN; The Truth Revealed!

This is an amazing exposition on the true personality of Jesus Christ that reveals who He was and the purpose for which He came to this world.

Let's begin by considering the following unusual questions which we'd end up discovering the true answers to.

Did you know that:

  1. Jesus did not come to establish any religion?
  2. Jesus was not a religious leader?
  3. Jesus’ mission was not after having members in the church?

Permit me to explain THIS TRUTH briefly.

  • God Almighty created a beautiful world and formed ‘man’ from the dust in His own image (configuration) and likeness (components) through His divine breath. He made man to oversee and dominate the created world (read Psalms 8:4-7) compare to Genesis 1&2. Man was made to be sinless, blameless, pure, holy and full of wisdom (in the likeness of God) from the beginning.
  • The Lucifer (Ezekiel 28:1-19) witnessed the creation of man but felt cheated and jealous when God gave power for dominion to man over every works of His hand – to include Lucifer and other Angels (Psalms 8:6). He proudly rebelled against God and plotted riot to displace the throne of God and place his own throne above God’s throne (Isaiah 14:12-17)
  • The Lucifer or Satan’s ambition resulted into war in heaven (Revelation 12:7-12) and God hauled him and his supporting angels out of heaven down to the earth (Ezekiel 28:18, Isaiah 14:12). And from Revelation 12:12, the Angels announced the doom and calamity of humanity.

"Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

  • Satan or the Devil landed on earth and set up a “Dark mission” to take over the power from man and make humanity to be in gross darkness of ignorance, calamity and fear and the prophesy says he’s going to succeed (Isaiah 60:2).
  • In order to achieve this ‘dark mission’, devil introduced:
    • SIN (Satan Identification Number) 1 John 3:8; He who commits sin is of the devil… (Divine DNA e. having sin in your gene and bloodline (cp. 1 John 3:5,6,9 &10)
  • He then converted human mind to be ‘reprobate’ (confused and converted memory) (Romans 1:28; 12:2). Proverbs 16:25 confirmed it that; There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. He so much destroyed and confused man’s mind from seeing the ONLY way of freedom in Christ Jesus (John 3:16; Al Quran 3:55-57)
  • God lost humanity to Satan to the extent of destroying almost all of them in the day of Noah, simply because He cannot behold sin. Satan introduced sin to separate man from his creator. Isaiah 59:1,2 put it right; Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.

Know this: Sin turns man to Satan in God’s view. Devil succeeded with his sin-device, and took over power from man. Will man end it up like this? Will the devil put man in bondage forever? Is there any help or way out for man? Yes! God sent help!

  • In a bid to rescue and restore man fully back to the original god-like nature, God sent Jesus Christ on the ‘Rescue Mission’. Jesus came, knowing fully well that He was going to DIE (to pay the death penalty required for man’s freedom) before he can save humanity from the stronghold of Satan and Sin (Hebrews 9:22; …and without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. cp Leviticus 17:11). It is so clear that God sent Jesus Christ to die on behalf and for humanity in order to take away sins. Read Matthew 1:21; 20:28; 26:28; Mark 14:24; Galatians 4:4-6; Hebrews 9:12; Isaiah 53:10 had the prophesy; Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. Cp Hebrew 10:11-13

Also, Al Quran 3:55 had the prophesy:  Allah said, "O Jesus, I am terminating your life (The Turkish translation says "I will cause your death" or "I will kill you") and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.

WHAT JESUS CAME TO DO?

Against popular misconceptions, Jesus was not here primarily to make people rich, or heal the sick or solve people problems or campaign for crowd as followers as many churches claim today. He came to primarily save humanity from Sin, then other benefits in the redemptive package can follow. 

  1. He came to take away our sins. 1 John 3:5,6 stated it clearly; You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him. Does this agree with what is going on in our church today?
  2. He paid the price (death penalty) for our redemption by His blood. Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 7:23-24; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13. 1 Peter 1:18,19 reads; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
  3. He came to destroy and undo every evil investment of Satan in the life of anyone that receives Him. 1 John 3:8; He that committed sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Jesus is the only approved Saviour of humanity (Acts 4:12; Al Quran 3:56,57). Remember that Prophet Mohammed (SAW) confirmed that he was not sure of his own future less his followers. Al Quran 46:9. (قُل ما كُنتُ بِدعًا مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَما أَدري ما يُفعَلُ بي وَلا بِكُم ۖ إِن أَتَّبِعُ إِلّا ما يوحىٰ إِلَيَّ وَما أَنا إِلّا نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ

Say, "I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know (have a glimpse of) what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a plain warner

  1. Jesus is the Light of the world (also making His followers to become the Light) as the solution to the world of darkness launched and ruled by Satan (read Isaiah 60:1-3; Matthew 5:14; Eph. 5:14; Philip. 2:15; Revelation 21:24). John 8:12; Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
  2. Jesus manifested to take ‘all power’ back from the devil and restore it back to man (His disciples). Matthew.28:18; And Jesus came and said to them, "All the power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. John 3:35, Romans 14:9; Ephesians 1:10, 18-23; Philippians 2:9-10; Hebrew 1:2; 2:8; 1Peter 3:22, 1 Corinthians 15:27 cp Luke 10:17. "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents (devil) and scorpions (principalities), and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
  3. He came to restore “Life” back to man. John 10:10 says; "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Also, to bring back god-like nature of Dominion as it was in Genesis 1:28 cp 1 Peter 2:5; Revelation 1:6; 5:10-12. Vs 10 says and have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth."

WHAT MAN MUST DO TO ENJOY THIS GRACE OF GOD?

  1. Must believe that Jesus is the Saviour and accept Him as Lord over his life. Matthew 11:28, 29. (This is an enrolment into the School of Christ through redemption)
  2. Then get ready to follow after Christ through effective discipleship (to be born of God without sin). This is the great commission that the devil blindfolds the church from seeing. Jesus is not after raising church members (Matthew 7:21) but Disciples: followers of Christ indeed (Matt. 11:29; John 8:31,32, Luke 6:39,40; Galatians 1:13-19; 4:1-6, Ephesians 4:20-27).
  3. Walk in the light (1 John 1:7), walk in the Truth (John 17:17, 8:32) and walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). These are the 3 cardinal ways to walk with God (Back to Eden experience). The only few sets of people Jesus is preparing for the Rapture – living without sin, wrinkle and blemish but pure and holy for the seed of Christ is in them. I John 3:9, Ephesian 5:25-27, Col 1:26-28.

GOD’S EXPECTATION OR GOAL FROM THE WHOLE LABOUR (THE WILL OF THE FATHER):

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' (church members) shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. (Matthew 7:21) Then, what is the Will of the Father? Only few Christians know it. This is synonymous to the narrow way that Jesus described in verse 14 "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. May God help you to get it now. Amen.

The Truth: God is expecting the sinless man He created back in His image. Romans 8:29: For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Once you are conformed to the image of Christ, He is satisfied. 1 John 3:9; Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him (Divine Nature); and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. (the picture of True Christian made to be Christ like). Ephesians 4:10-13, I John 3:6, 5:18. Satan was cast down from heaven because sin was found in him (Ezekiel 28:15), do you think God can rapture sin back to heaven. God forbids! 1John 3:7; Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. Jesus said the same in Matthew 5:48; "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Not Negotiable! Just follow the Truth.

NOTE: it is man that can become like Christ (Christian). Jesus is the Christ that we follow and look forward to become like Him (…unto a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:13) Jesus was not a Christian as the topic implies, He is the Christ. Moreover, Christianity is not a religion but the only solution to the eternal problems of man. It is way to eternal life if we diligently follow the path.

IN CONCLUSION:

Dear reader, Now the choice is yours!

It is either you accept the offer of God’s Grace in Christ Jesus for your redemption, freedom, salvation and adoption as a child of God through effective discipleship

OR

You remain reprobate and rebellious in your mind and die in your sin to face the wrath of God and danger of Hell fire prepared for every soul that fails to belief and follow Jesus.

John 3:35,36:  "The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

Also confirmed in the Al Quran 3:56,57; As for those who disbelieved, I shall punish them with a terrible chastisement in this world and in the Next; and they shall find none to help them.  But those who believe and do righteous deeds, He will reward them in full. Allah does not love the unjust.

Decide now!

If you have positive mindset to accept and follow Jesus, kindly confess these words of prayer: Say

LORD JESUS, I THANK YOU FOR PAYING MY DEBT OF DEATH

I AM SORRY FOR MY SIN AND IDENTIFICATION WITH THE DEVIL

I RENOUNCE SATAN, SIN AND EVERY WORKS OF DARKNESS

I SURRENDER MY LIFE AND WILL TO JESUS TODAY

I ACCEPT JESUS AS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR.

I RECEIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE PURCHASED FO ME BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS

THANK YOU JESUS, FOR SAVING ME

IN JESUS NAME I PRAY. AMEN.
