Colossians 2:6-23
As YOU (Believers) therefore HAVE RECEIVED Christ Jesus The LORD, so WALK IN Him (Jesus Christ), ROOTED and BUILT UP IN Him (Jesus Christ) and ESTABLISHED IN The Faith, as YOU (Believers) HAVE BEEN TAUGHT, ABOUNDING IN IT (The Faith) WITH Thanksgiving. BEWARE Lest ANYONE CHEAT YOU (Believers) THROUGH Philosophy and EMPTY DECEIT, according to The Tradition of Men, according to The Basic Principles of The World (Satan’s World), and NOT ACCORDING TO Christ. For IN Him (Jesus Christ), DWELLS All The FULLNESS OF The GODHEAD (GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit) BODILY; and YOU (Believers) ARE COMPLETE IN Him (Jesus Christ), Who IS The Head of All Principality and Power.
IN Him (Jesus Christ), YOU (Believers) were also Circumcised WITH The Circumcision MADE WITHOUT Hands, BY PUTTING OFF The Body of The sins of The Flesh (THROUGH Satan), BY The CIRCUMCISION OF Christ, BURIED WITH Him (Jesus Christ) IN Baptism, IN Which YOU (Believers) ALSO WERE RAISED WITH Him (Jesus Christ) THROUGH Faith IN The WORKING OF GOD (GOD Almighty), Who RAISED Him (Jesus Christ) FROM The Dead. And YOU (Believers), Being Dead IN Your Trespasses (THROUGH Satan) and The Uncircumcision of Your Flesh (THROUGH Satan), He (Jesus Christ) HAS MADE ALIVE TOGETHER WITH Him (Jesus Christ), HAVING FORGIVEN YOU All Trespasses (All sins, past, present, and future), HAVING WIPED OUT The Handwriting of Requirements (The Old Covenant) that WAS AGAINST Us (Believers), Which WAS CONTRARY TO Us (Believers). And He (Jesus Christ) HAS TAKEN IT (The Old Covenant) OUT of The Way (Out of Our Way), HAVING NAILED IT (The Old Covenant) TO The Cross. Having DISARMED Principalities AND Powers, He (Jesus Christ) MADE A Public Spectacle of Them (Principalities and Powers), TRIUMPHING OVER Them (Principalities and Powers) IN IT.
So, Let NO ONE (FALSE Believers, Unbelievers, and Believers) Judge YOU (Believers) IN Food OR IN Drink, OR REGARDING A Festival OR A New Moon OR Sabbaths, Which ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME, BUT The SUBSTANCE IS OF Christ. Let NO ONE (FALSE Believers, Unbelievers, and Believers) Cheat YOU (Believers) OF Your Reward, Taking Delight IN FALSE Humility and Worship of Angels, Intruding INTO Those Things which He (FALSE Believers, Unbelievers, and Believers) HAS NOT SEEN, Vainly Puffed Up by His (FALSE Believers, Unbelievers, and Believers) Fleshly Mind (THROUGH Satan), and NOT HOLDING FAST TO The Head (Jesus Christ), FROM Whom All The Body (Believers), NOURISHED and KNIT TOGETHER BY Joints and Ligaments, GROWS WITH The INCREASE THAT IS FROM GOD (GOD Almighty).
Therefore, IF YOU (Believers) DIED WITH Christ, FROM The Basic Principles of The World (Satan’s World), WHY, as though living IN The World (Satan’s World), DO YOU (Believers) SUBJECT Yourselves (Believers) TO Regulations (The Old Covenant OR Man’s Law) “DO NOT TOUCH, DO NOT TASTE, DO NOT HANDLE,” which All Concern Things, which PERISH with the using, according to The Commandments AND Doctrines of Men (The Old Covenant OR Man’s Law)? These Things indeed have an APPEARANCE OF Wisdom, IN Self-Imposed Religion (FALSE Religion), FALSE Humility, and Neglect of The Body, BUT ARE OF NO VALUE AGAINST The Indulgence of The Flesh (THROUGH Satan).
Fellow Believers, IN These Scriptures, Jesus Christ IS GIVING Us ENCOURAGEMENT, by pointing out, that BY Our Faith IN Jesus Christ, We ARE COMPLETE! And THROUGH The GODHEAD AND GOD Almighty’s WORD (The Holy Bible), We have EVERYTHING We need to succeed as Disciples OF Jesus Christ! He points out that We ARE NO longer BOUND by The Old Covenant (The Laws of Moses), because The Requirement of Following The Old Covenant ENDED, When IT (The Old Covenant) WAS NAILED TO The CROSS, THROUGH Jesus Christ!
Does this mean Believers are FREE to sin, ABSOLUTELY NOT! It means We FOLLOW The Gospel OF Jesus Christ, as close as humanly possible! Will We STILL sin, YES, it would be naïve and an Outright LIE, to say We will NOT sin again, BUT The Difference IS, We KNOW when We are committing a sin, We REPENT and ASK for Forgiveness, FROM GOD Almighty, for committing the sin, and strive NOT to commit the sin again. We TRULY do NOT wish to sin, but unfortunately by Our sinful Nature (THROUGH Satan), We can NOT stop sinning completely.
We KNOW, by GOD Almighty’s Unconditional LOVE for Us (Mankind), that even though He (GOD Almighty) KNOWS, We Can NOT, NOT Sin, He Still Yearns to have a Personal Relationship with each of Us, which can ONLY happen, IF We Acknowledge GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving Grace AND IF We Accept GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF Salvation, Which COMES ONLY, THROUGH Jesus Christ!
Therefore, by Our Reading GOD Almighty’s WORD (The Holy Bible), We LEARN what is EXPECTED of Us, THROUGH The WORDS We read, but also by GOD Almighty SPEAKING TO Our Heart, as We read, Awesome huh? Think of it this way, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit Teaches, Counsels, and Guides Us, All while GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us!
Satan TOSSES Many Obstacles INTO Our (Believers) Paths: FALSE Prophets, FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, and FALSE Doctrine (FALSE Teachings), not to mention Satan Himself, fallen angels, and demons! Unfortunately, this does include Fellow Believers OR FALSE Believers who question things We do, as Believers. They question which Translation of The Holy Bible, YOU choose to read and use, even though, as We read The Holy Bible, GOD Almighty SPEAKS TO Our Heart, as We read it. They question whether or NOT to Worship GOD Almighty ON Sunday OR on Saturday. They question how, when, where, and why, We Pray to GOD Almighty, THROUGH Jesus Christ. They question what is the proper method of Baptism, even though We KNOW that Baptism, IS BY The Holy Spirit, meaning Jesus Christ Coming TO Abide WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit. Now, Baptism by Water is actually Full Immersion and it’s an Act of Obedience, by FOLLOWING Jesus Christ INTO Believer’s Baptism, which is Our Outward Expression of Our Inward Decision TO Follow Jesus Christ.
They question The End Times (The Last Days) Prophecies, The Time Lines, Chronology of Order, Sequence of Events, etc. They question The Being Caught Up Together, The BEAST (The Antichrist), The FALSE Prophet, The IMAGE OF The BEAST (The Antichrist), The MARK OF The BEAST (The Antichrist), The Tribulation OR The Great Tribulation, The Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ’s Return UPON The White Horse), The Demise of The BEAST (The Antichrist), The FALSE Prophet, Satan, and Unbelievers, and so much more. And speaking of The Being Caught Up Together, They question WHEN and IF it will occur, when We KNOW it can ONLY Occur BEFORE Anything Else, meaning IT IS Imminent!
Fellow Believers, GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Children OF GOD Almighty, Stand WITH YOU !!!!!!!
Remember These FACTS:
We KNOW, We Will BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children of GOD Almighty, for Eternity, Forever.
Revelation 3:10
Because YOU (Believers) have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND TO Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) ALSO Will KEEP YOU (Believers) FROM The HOUR OF TRIAL, which shall COME UPON The Whole World (Satan’s World), TO TEST Those (Unbelievers) who dwell on The Earth.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For The LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, Will DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The Voice of an Archangel, and WITH The TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty). And The Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) Will RISE First. THEN We (Living Believers) Who ARE ALIVE and REMAIN, Shall BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN Christ), IN The Clouds, TO MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR. And Thus We (Believers) Shall ALWAYS BE WITH The LORD (Jesus Christ).
Keep IN Mind, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, Please, Spread The WORD (The Gospel of Jesus Christ)!

Stand with GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, Always, and They will Always, Stand with YOU !!!!!!!
