Are you the family of God. Gods family loves all men and all peoples. Even the enemy of God those who are outside of the knowedge of God. Are you willing to obey God that people can be saved. That muslims can enter into a relationship with God and know his love. That JWs can come to know who Christ is. That mormons can come to know the Love of God. Jesus said If you love me take up my cross and follow me. Are you willing to pray for the lost and show his mercy to a dieing world. Are you willing to show his love and mercy in your lives. Are you willing to be his brother his sister and his mother. Jesus said he came to restore all men to the Father. If he is lifed up he will draw all men to himself. Lifting Jesus up is our Job? Are you willing to lift Jesus up?

A mother ministers love to her children. That is what jesus is speaking of. We are to minister to Him and to our family as mothers do. It means to give of one self.
A brother walks beside Jesus as a friend and serves the kingdoms as does a sister.

Yes I am willing. I love Jesus and I am proud of that fact. We should all strive to live like Him everyday. God Bless you for posting this. We need more of it!

By the Holy Ghost I'm learned as I read there are times when Jesus is talking and there are times when the Father is talking. Like Jesus said, "I hear I say and what I'm told I speak." You must understand whom is actually talking to at the time. For the Israel people to become a christian they would had to leave their Mother, Father (home), brother and sisters and even their children to follow Jesus and follow his Gospel. But the word "Fail" is not in the Scripture. It said, "But he Shall recieve a hundred fold." Then he said to do so you will gain so much more back as when you are Born Again in the Holy Ghost makes everyone that is also Born Again your brother and sister for we are then have but one Father and eternal life together.

I do, however when sinners come to know the LORD and accept His salvation they are no longer their former designations. If they are truly repentant, and truly believe then they have died in the LORD through baptism into His death and are raised to new life by His resurrection, the former status in life is gone. That is why in early Christianity they were given a new set of clothes! Hence the tradition of getting new clothes at Easter. They are now new creatures in Christ Jesus where there is neither male nor female, Jew or Greek, slave or free, for they are all one in Christ - therefore those in Christ are apart of His body there is no JW's, no baptists, no pentecostals, no nazarenes, no muslims, no Jews, none all those distinctions are gone done away with! There is only one classification for those who are in Christ Jesus - Christians - doulos - bondslaves to the LORD!

Yes. I am a member of the great spiritual family of God. And yes, I am ready to help lift Jesus up. My job is to do whatever God asks me to do. Yes, I agree that muslims, jews, buddhists and any men of any religion can be saved and given back to God. I am willing to help. Will anyone join me?

How very true, no one can disagree with what you have said. We really do need to pray for the world. You speak right that Jesus came for ALL mankind. He came for the whole world, not just a few people here and there. What a wonderful Savior and thanks for the reminder. God Bless

I was raised a Christian, but, I knew at a very early age that Jesus was not G-d. My G-d would never come to earth in human form. I am now a Jew. I feel it is blasphemy to call Jesus G-d. Islam and Judaism have much more knowledge of what G-d is------and is not.
I will let you believe your religion, but do not try to change mine. That is where all the troubles start.

Jehovah's Witnesses study the bible five hours a week at congregation meetings, in addition to personal bible reading and study. A typical Witness goes from house to house about ten hours each month to talk with his neighbors about the bible's "good news" of Christ's Kingdom.
Jehovah's Witnesses already "know who Christ is". Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians; they teach that Christ was and is divine and of the same nature as God.
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe!
Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. However, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!
