A Blood-less Gospel is a False Gospel
Cain offered what he chose to offer God. Abel humbly offered God what God desired.
Cain had a self-styled religion emanating out of his self-serving pride-filled heart while Abel had a Savior-centered relationship with the LORD.
“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.” Revelation 13:8-9
From Genesis to Revelation, into eternity, we see the scarlet thread, the divine instituting, establishing, and proclaiming of the blood of the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world. If we miss this divine revelation, we missed all. It seems apparent that Bible truths, words such as the blood, the cross, faith, repentance, grace, justification, righteousness, worship, and holiness are all interconnected and inseparable. As you are going to behold in the following moments, everything pertaining to heavenly worship, all that is in the divine economy, in Christ’s eternal kingdom, is predicated upon the precious blood He shed for us.
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” 1 Peter 1:18-19
Beloved of God, when’s the last time you heard a preached message on the blood of Jesus Christ? A gospel that does not center around the cross and blood of Jesus Christ – “the blood of His cross,” is “another gospel,” a false gospel (2 Corinthians 11:2-5, 11-15; Galatians 1:6-9; Colossians 1:20).
“Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (atoning sacrifice) through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;” Romans 3:25
Are we trusting our own good works, our own “filthy rags” righteousness, or are we trusting the crimson red blood of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ – that it not only initially, but also continually washes us clean of our sins in the eyes of the “Holy, holy, holy” God with whom we have to do? See Isaiah 6:3; 64:6; Revelation 4:8 and 1 John 1:7.
“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:4-5
Those who seek to work for, to earn, to merit their own justification, instead of surrendering in repentance and faith in the blood of the Lamb of God, the only perfect sacrifice, will perish in the flames of eternal damnation.
“How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation…” Hebrews 2:3
It’s “the blood of Christ” alone that justifies us. We appropriate it, we connect to God by faith in Christ, in His perfect blood sacrifice (John 19:30). It’s by His blood alone that we are “justified” – that we “shall be saved from wrath.”
“Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:9
May God be praised, afresh, right this very moment and forevermore for “The blood Christ” which exclusively cleanses us of our sin and brings us to Him.
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:14
“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” Hebrews 9:22
Revelation 5 informs us that we shall in Heaven forever declare in worship, in song the glories of the precious blood of the Lamb of God. All heavenly praise to God will be due to and centered on the blood of the Lamb of God by which we are redeemed, bought back to our God. Read Revelation. Here’s a taste:
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.” Revelation 5:9-14
- What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.- Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
- Refrain:
- For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. - Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. - This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. - Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. - Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

WHY DID CAIN KILL ABEL?
“Hell is full of people who think they deserve heaven. Heaven is full of people who know they deserve Hell.” Unknown
Cain is the father of all those who do things their own way and not God’s. They are wise in their own conceit (Proverbs 3:5-7).
Cain, a self-righteous, self-willed, religious hypocrite, is the father of the many “false brethren” we have among us today (2 Corinthians 11:26; Galatians 2:4). They worship and yet it’s not according to the stated will and desire of the God they claim to serve and worship. These are the Judases, the betrayers, the traitors who are still slanderously character-assassinating the true worshippers, the children of Christ. They are of their father, the devil as were the God-less pharisees of Christ’s day (John 8:44).
It was because Cain’s own heart was dark and evil, because he was unrepentant and refused to turn to the LORD and do things HIS way, that he slew his brother Abel.
“Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.” 1 John 3:12
Cain and Abel’s parents were Adam and Eve. Read Genesis 4. Cain murdered Abel due to his religious jealousy. Abel obeyed God by simply offering the Messianic type blood sacrifice. God rewarded Abel for doing things HIS way (Hebrews 11:4). Abel represents those who truly trust God by faith, doing things HIS prescribed way – which is blood sacrifice and faith (Hebrews 9:22). The shedding of the animal blood to clothe Adam and Eve after they sinned prefigured the perfect sacrifice which was to be offered by our LORD Jesus Christ on the cross (Genesis 3:21; Matthew 26:28; John 19:30, etc.). In contrast to his brother Abel, Cain is like those today who serve their religion, vainly thinking they are serving the LORD. See Proverbs 14:12. Following Christ means repenting and believing on Him, obeying and worshipping the LORD Himself. Getting right with God will always lead to ditching religion. If not, those who insist upon clinging to their religion, will perish in the flames of eternal damnation. Jesus Christ is the only way to God, to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am THE way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
Any man who refuses to give up his religion to follow Jesus is a hell bound antichrist idolater (Matthew 23; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, etc.).
“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.” Hebrews 11:4
Do we offer faith in the perfect blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ? If not, we offer the sacrifice of Cain and are possessed with a wicked heart and are in need of repentance.
Do you trust God on the basis of Christ’s perfect blood sacrifice OR is your approach based on your own religious good works? Is your heart engaged, is it in love with Jesus? Is He truly your “first love”? (Read Revelation 2:4-5.) Are you murderously wielding a rusty sword? Are you more like Cain or Abel?
As it was then, so it is now (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Jesus was delivered to be crucified by the envious false religionists of His day (Matthew 27:18). There are those who will jealously attack believers and they do so due to their own envy of God’s blessings on His disciples, who do things HIS way and not their own way. Cain was jealous of Abel his brother and murdered him (Genesis 4). Why? Abel offered the correct sacrifice, the way the LORD ordained them both to offer. Cain did things his way instead and was not blessed as was Abel. So it is today when the wicked become jealous at God’s blessing on the just – the just being those who simply, humbly do things God’s way and not their own way. Isn’t this the same thing that happened to Saul who became enraged and furious with David, so much so that he set out to murder David? Saul was rebellious as he did things his own way instead of God’s (1 Samuel 15:22-23). In contrast the LORD blessed David for being a man after His own heart (Acts 13:22).
Are you saved by grace and operating by grace, or law keeping? | Law vs Grace!
Ever been attacked viciously by those who refused to serve God the way He requires He be worshipped? And they became enraged at you as you humbly served the LORD as He prescribes? Abel and Jesus were both victims of this type evil envy.
“And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased.” Matthew 21:15
As opposed to counterfeit religionists, those who truly serve the LORD, do so on the basis of blood sacrifice, culminating in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the altar of the cross.
Abel’s sacrifice was a BLOOD sacrifice, depicting Christ to come, but Cain chose to make an offering from the earth, which was cursed. Abel did things God’s way. Cain did things his own way. David declared that he “hated every false way” (Psalms 119:104, 128).
Cain and Abel Compared and Contrasted
“In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. 13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” 1 John 3:10-15
The Engaged Heart
” …for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? … “And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for WHO IS THIS THAT ENGAGED HIS HEART to approach unto me? saith the LORD. 22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.” Jeremiah 30:21-22

Modern Day Cult of Personality Exposed [podcast]

What is the Cult of Personality?
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
Beware when you see any mere man enshrined, basically worshipped by his followers. This is all too common in today’s church world and sometimes it’s very subtle. When people begin putting what a mere man says above what God says in His Word, when they quote him instead of the Bible, you know you have a cult.
One source notes:
“A cult of personality, or a cult of the leader, is the result of an effort to create an idealized and heroic image of an admirable leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.”‘
CS Lewis has a cult following today, 100%. I’ve encountered it first hand. These people don’t care what you show them as far as the blatant falsehoods he spoke, and have soul tied their affections to him and will defend him no matter what.
A quick search on “what CS Lewis said about the Catholic church”…
“As an Anglican, C.S. Lewis shared many beliefs with the Catholic Church, including the Real Presence in the Eucharist, the necessity of confession, and a belief in Purgatory. However, he explicitly rejected papal authority, the concept of papal infallibility, and certain Marian doctrines.
Shared Beliefs
Lewis held a deeply sacramental and traditional view of Christianity, which aligned closely with Catholic theology:
The Sacraments: He regularly went to confession to a priest and viewed the Eucharist as central to the faith.
The Afterlife: He famously argued that “our souls demand Purgatory”, writing that we would naturally want to be cleansed of our sins before standing in God’s presence.
Devotion: He had a high view of saints and appreciated traditional liturgical practices.”
The same is true for modern day celebrities such as Candace Owens. On a recent live broadcast where she interviewed a man, he showed her live on air, that she was wrong about several things and kindly asked her to apologize several times. Regrettably, Candace was unwilling to apologize, and most of her cult followers backed her up, cheered her on.
She was called to account for false info and didn’t apologize when asked to.
Her followers cheered her on, never stopping to question things.
Their hearts are set on her not Christ (Colossians 3:1-4).
No matter WHAT she says, they believe it.
Wow.
Jesus says:
“I receive not honour from men. … 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?” John 5:41, 44
By saying this, Jesus condemns putting trust in any mere man.
Jesus makes it clear here that anyone who puts their heart affections in a mere man or woman, is unable to believe on the LORD Jesus Christ for eternal life.
“And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. 7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?” 1 Corinthians 4:6-7
“4:6 He first explains that in speaking about the Christian ministry and the tendency to follow human leaders (3:5-4:5), he used himself and Apollos as the examples. The Corinthians were not forming parties around Paul and Apollos alone, but also around other men who were then in their church. However, out of a sense of Christian courtesy and delicacy, Paul transferred the entire matter to himself and Apollos so that by their example the saints would learn not to have exaggerated opinions of their leaders or to gratify their pride by the formation of parties. He wanted the saints to evaluate everything and everyone by the Scriptures.
4:7 If one Christian teacher is more gifted than another, it is because God made him so. Everything he has, he received from the Lord. In fact it is true of all of us that everything we have has been given to us by God. That being the case, why should we be proud or puffed up? Our talents and gifts are not the result of our own cleverness.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.” John 8:37
“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” Proverbs 29:25
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5
“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22
“LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. 5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.” Psalms 139:4-5
“A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.” Jeremiah 17:12
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16
1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5
“that no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
“2:5 Paul knew that there was the utmost danger that his hearers might be interested in himself or in his own personality rather than in the living Lord. Conscious of his own inability to bless or to save, he determined that he would lead men to trust in God alone rather than in the wisdom of men. All who proclaim the gospel message or teach the word of God should make this their constant aim.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.” Psalms 17:2
“Sentence” here means verdict.
Prayer of Repentance to be Restored to the LORD: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus Christ and by His precious blood He shed to make me one with You, I come to you—in my sinful state. LORD, I openly acknowledge that I have departed from You and sinfully rebelled against You in the sin of idolatry. Right this moment, if never before, I call upon You, Holy Father, asking You to forgive my sins, to change my life, to break me to the core of my being. I fully believe that Jesus Christ is God Almighty, that He came in the flesh, lived a sinless life as the very only begotten Son of God, died on the cross for the sins of mankind, was buried, rose again from the dead, and is soon going to return! I love You my LORD Jesus and from this moment forward, I am all Yours! I will follow You according to Your Word and Holy Spirit. Please fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me every day of my life that You grant! In Jesus’ name, amen!

The Cross and the Throne of Grace [podcast]

“Hid with Christ in God”
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4
The safest place in the universe is in the cross of Christ: “your life is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3).
Our place of protection is in the love walk with the LORD where we express our love for Him in obedience to Him. Jesus commanded that we deny self, take up the cross daily and follow Him. We are full of troubles and so it should be easy to relinquish all to Him!
“Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” Job 14:1
In Christ alone is our rest from the toil of this life.
“Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Psalms 17:4
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16
“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25
Prayer: Father, in Jesus’ name, please bring me to the end of sinful self. Rebuke and remove the foolishness of this heart! I love You LORD and thank You that I am crucified with You today and that You are raising up this life for Your glory alone. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“I Will Uphold Thee with the Right Hand of My Righteousness” [podcast]

One source notes:
“‘I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness’ is a famous promise from the Bible found in Isaiah 41:10 (KJB). It is a comforting verse offering reassurance against fear, with ‘the right hand of my righteousness’ symbolizing God’s divine power, justice, and support.”
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
Help Me Jesus!
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. … For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” Isaiah 41:10, 13
“When we are in the fire of affliction it’s easy to feel afraid and wonder if God is there. Many of the great men of the Bible became discouraged and broken. But the secret was they took it to God in all honesty! In Job 3 he expressed a desire to die. But yet he said in Job 19:25 ‘For I know my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:’ David said in Psalm 56:9 ‘When I cry into thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.’ And we know Jeremiah, Jonah, Elijah, etc. all had moments of despair and suffering, but the Lord continued to uphold and encourage them. Their faith did not waver even in the midst of doubt and confusion!” Karen Cochran
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:31-39
“in thy presence is fulness of joy”
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalms 16:11
