Standing For Jesus

Posted on June 3, 2025 by bibleteacherorg

Standing for Jesus will cost you something. And Beloved, you MUST stand for Jesus if you’re saved. Our Lord Jesus made that plain. He said:

Matthew 10:33 (ESV) whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

To deny Jesus is to lose the key to Heaven. To deny Jesus is to lose the blessing of His Presence when tried. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, the life. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME” (John 14:6). Peter denied Jesus three times (Matthew 26:70ff) when pressed by the crowd, but afterward “wept bitterly” (Matthew 26:75). Peter repented, and lived out his life standing up for Jesus. Peter was eventually crucified, giving his life for Jesus.

Beloved, if you’re saved, your faith may hiccup. BUT you will not deny Jesus and keep on denying Him no matter how hard pressed!

Polycarp, a disciple of the Apostle John was a Pastor in Smyrna. Roman authorities arrested him for preaching the Gospel of Christ, preaching that Jesus alone was Lord.

The Church is a precursor of Heaven, the Kingdom of God on earth. Saved by Grace through the sacrifice of His dear Son Jesus, we are called to live as citizens of His Kingdom. The Church is to be a place of life and light, hope and joy. Those who are in the Church are supernatural beings, born of God, indwelt by God, to the glory of God.

What we are looking at today is not the works you must do to be saved. These are the works that come from a saved life. These are to evidence that saving faith has occurred in a life.

Biblical Salvation is both a supernatural event and a supernatural process.

When you repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, then God applies the Blood of Jesus Christ to your spiritual account. We are saved because Jesus bore our penalty. We are saved because the Son of God became the Son of Man, and as the Son of Man died in our place. The Bible says:

Slide 3

Ephesians 1:7 (AP) {In Jesus} we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our sins, according to the riches of his grace

Coming to God with empty hands, we reach out in faith to Jesus. We are broken creatures, without hope save for Jesus. God applies the Blood of Jesus Christ to our lives, and changes our eternal status before Him. We are … Continue reading →
