Christians without borders

In this activity we are not – Lutheran – Pentecostal – Baptist – Adventist – etc.,
We are just Christians, Children of God bought with the blood of Jesus. That is why we do not advertise or recommend denominations.
We are building up the congregation founded on the cross of Calvary, which was completed at the end of the apostolic age around 100 AD. We are continuing the same work that the first Christians began. We are not co-Christian ecumenists, etc., building fellowship ”over the congregation boundaries”.
We are building up the congregation WITHOUT congregation boundaries.

Welcome to the events:
Sunday at four o’clock pm,
and Wed and Sat at two o’clock pm.
Address:
Maariankatu 2. 20100 Turku. Finland


BIBLE TEACHING ABOUT THE CHURCH

God continues to speak to people by the Word in the Bible in order to open our understanding to comprehend His will. Luke 24:45. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed. Isa 50:4.

One of the things, that those who pray come to understand, is the truth about Bible teaching on the church. This includes the message of Heb 12:26-27. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. The content of this Scripture shakes religious constructs.

A church in accordance with the original plan is the worst threat to the devil. That’s why he resists the restoration of the church to God’s original plan with all his fury. 1 Jn. 2:24-25. But God will give us the mindset that Caleb had: We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it. Numbers 13:30.

Read this whole text. It’s the only way for you to understand the teaching in it. I repeat myself in order to ensure that that the teaching will be down pat. After all, God’s vision of His church is in question here.

THE WAY TO THE BLESSINGS THAT WERE AT THE BEGINNING

God wants to restore His church to a clear, living fellowship with the Lord of the church, Jesus. The Holy Spirit leads those living Christians to a fellowship and work where Jesus is saving, healing and filling people with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2. He sends the believers to preach the gospel, help those who are suffering and to heal the sick etc. Mark 16:15-20.

The most important thing in human life is to have one’s sins forgiven and so become a child of the God of the new covenant. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins, Rom 11:27. This must not become overshadowed by other important Bible teachings.

Thanks be to the Lord! To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom… Rev 1:5-6. Thank you, Jesus! With your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom. Rev 5:9-10. So the church is a group of people who have been bought by Jesus’ blood; His kindom, whose purpose is spiritual only. Anyone who reads the Bible can understand what the true church is. The asnwer that the Bible gives is very simple: those who have become believers are God’s church. Religions, religious sects, denominations, chariteis and so on are not churches. The born again people in each local area form the local church of where they live. Thus the Bible mentions churches in the plural only based on the fact that there are believers in many local areas. = one city, one church. Tit 1:5. Two cities, two churches. Seven cities, seven churches. Rev. 1:11. But in the Bible, the church as a whole is remains mentioned in the singular, the body of Christ (1 Cor 12:27) because Jesus is the only founder of the church.

The teaching on the being of the church is a subject that has become badly distorted among all of the human race. The majority have swallowed the lie that leads them astray, that the church is some institution established by man. That teaching has led people outside of original Christianity. And even though the matter of the church is not a question of salvation, its destruction is a serious fall. The Biblical fellowship (oneness) and love of believers has been broken by the establishment of denominations. This is why, Thus saith the Lord, Return, faithless people, I will cure you of backsliding. Jer. 3:22. Thus God calls his own back to all things good and right, such as the original ways of the church.

The teaching mentioned in John 17:21-23 that concerns us will happen: that all of them may be one. So we will all be perfectly one. We can’t see it yet but it will happen in this age. Otherwise Jesus’ prayer would ahve been mere empty words. But waking to reality and to fellowship will CERTAINLY happen! Mathew 25:7-12. It will happen by returning to the way of the Bible teaching talked of in this text. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. Jn 17:7. The church is going to be set back into the faith and truth of the apostolic time before Jesus comes back. Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. Acts 3:21. Heb. 12:7-14.

Genuine repentance includes the cleansing of the church of so-called ”great men” who raise themselves above others (e.g. church clergy, the bishopry etc.). There is only one great person in the church. He is Jesus, the supreme shephard. The time of the great prophets ended with John the Baptist. Math 11:17-14.

WHO BELONGS TO THE CHURCH

Only those who have been genuinely born again belong to the church, those who have been baptised by immersion in the name of Jesus after they believed. Acts 2:41. Genuine coming to faith is that you begin to live with Jesus. That’s when the truth of the church begins to open up. God wants to lead us to experience this way of blessings that they had at the beginning. So we understand that everyone who has come to believe belongs together in the same flock of God, ergo the church. No other way is possible because belonging to Jesus is the same as belonging to His church. Having ones’s name on a church register does not mean the person belongs to God’s church.

Joining Jesus is joining the church. The Bible knows no other way of joining God’s church. It has no concept of someone genuinely being a believer and then supposedly not belonging to the church. Acts 2:38, 41, 42. You belong to the church if you live with Jesus, i.e. you are in Christ, not Adam. Being in fellowship with believers is another matter. And God wants all of his own to congregate and work together. Heb. 10:25/Acts 2:41-42.

A Biblical fellowship is God’s will!

Every locality has just one group of born again people (John 3:3, 1 Pet 1:23, 2:9/Tit 1:5), which has been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 1 Pet. 1:19. This church that has been established by the cross, we can start to build in each local area, continuing from where the apostles left off! Everyone can begin to carry out the tasks and dreams that they have recieved from God as long as they have been checked against the Bible. All forms of service that God has given us can and must be carried out in this fellowship.

It is therefore good to take to heart His basic truth that THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN REDEEMED BY JESUS’ BLOOD ARE GOD’S ONLY CHURCH. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Pet 2:9-10. This was written concerning all of us, who have been have been born again. 1 Pet 1:23. Thus WE belong to this ONE people of God, to the same congregation with all those who have been saved through all ages, for example, Peter, James, John and Paul etc; the first Christians. Acts 20:28, 26:18. One body! Eph 4:1-16, 1 Cor 12:27.

No one has been given permission to divide the one host of saints by founding new denominations etc; sects with membership registers, ”name plaquard churches”. Math 24:35. Heb. 13:8. Reve 22:18,19. That is why we don’t accept denominations/sects and don’t participate in their functions. We know that not one ”church” founded by people is a church at all. Albeit individual believers in them, as well, belong to the same God’s church with us and work with us to gather people to God. In that respect, we work together with all believers. But we mustn’t accept the deceptive teaching that institutions established by humans would be churches and that we would belong to different churches based on that. So called ecumenicalism is, in reality, acceptance of dispersion; an ecumenical mix of Babel religion.

HOW CAN YOU JOIN THIS CHURCH?

Joining Jesus is the same as joining His church, the body of Christ. 1 Cor 12:27. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Gal 3:26, 27. Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:41-42. So it isn’t possible to join this church like joining a worldly charity organisation or religion by puttin your name down in the register and then you belong to the church, take your name off and you no longer do.” This is not how the Bible teaches it. Man cannot join another to God’s church. And neither can man excommunicate another from the church. Separating someone from the fellowship (because of sin) is another matter. With regard to that, the Bible teaches: Expel the wicked person from among you. 1 Cor 5:13. But either excommunicating or joining someone to the church is exclusively God’s work. Now that we understand the being of the chruch, we can understand this, too. Having your name in a church register or removing it does not relate to belonging to God’s church. Rejoice that your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:20. The next step for people who have united with Jesus, who have been baptised by immersion in His name, is to enter church fellowship and be blessed into it. According to Bible teaching, only people who already belong to God’s church, who have become believers and are Biblically baptised, can be blessed to join the fellowship of a local church! So we understand that the fellowship and belonging to the church are two different things. There is no such thing as a Christian without a church. Those erraneous concepts must be dispelled from our minds.

NO NEW CHURCH

The Bible contains no example of or teaching that any new churches with new names had been established in the apostolic time. It is an error to believe that Paul supposedly went from one local area to antoher establishin new churches. Paul did not establish a single new church but the congregation that was founded on the cross spread to new areas. Note the word, ”spread”. It is the key to this. One, eternally indivisible congregation of God spread to new areas by Christians preaching the message of salvation, the sacrifice on the cross on our behalf and about the risen Jesus. People became believers, repented of their sins and got baptised and so they became the church in their own area. Acts 2:38, 41. They began to meet as the church of their locality. And every local chruch confessed with the mouth of all their believers that we are a part of the ONE church of God that Jesus founded on the cross. John 2:19-22. We do well to repeatedly emphasise this. So the apostles didn’t establish new churches. People who were led by the Holy Spirit were chosen for different roles from among the believers, eg. Tit 1:5, Rom. 12:4-8, Eph. 4:11-16. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” 2 Tim. 2:19, 1Cor. 3:11. They didn’t accept that any locality should have two or more churches even though there were multiple meeting places according to need. 1 Cor 1:10-13 and 3:4-5. We should be doing things the same way; Helsinki has the Helsinki church, Turku has the Turku church, Tampere has the Tampere church etc. Rev. 1:11-20. So the question here is not about advocating a new church, on the contrary: the point is getting out of the new ones and back into the oldest one.

Paul’s missionary calling

Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me. I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me. Acts 26:16-18.

This was the missionary calling that Jesus gave Paul and, at the same time, to all of us. Math. 28:19,20, Mark 16:15-20. It means that a person who has become a believer and been Biblically baptised has come out of Satan’s power into God’s church and from Adam into Christ and has thus come into the church. Rev 1:5,6, 5:9,10, John 3:3, Acts 2:38,41, Gal. 3:26-28, Rom. 8:9. Missionary work is the church’s main task.

BAPTISM

In the beginning of the church, everyone who became a believer and had had their sins forgiven, was baptised by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ…” Acts 2:38,41, ”So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.” Acts 10:48, 22:16, Col 3:17. In the beginning of our church, no one was left unbaptised. That is how it should still be.

Baptism is something that God blesses. We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. Rom. 6:45,5,11. The old life of sin was buried in the grave of baptism and we began to live in Jesus’ resurrection.

THE LOCAL CHURCH

Those who have been baptised after becoming believers, form the local church in each locality. It was set in order (not established) to function on the basis of the apostles’ teaching. Acts 2:42,42, Eph. 2:19-22, 4:11-16. The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. Tit. 1:5. Notice? First there was a chruch and then it was set in order. And the borders of the local area were the borders of the church. eg. Rev. 1:11-30. And Bible teachings have been set for the spiritual boundaries of the church. ”Those who accepted his message were baptized, and (so)… were added to their number that day…” Apt 2:41.

May this be repeated as many times as it takes for it to be understood: all gentuine Christians within a particular local area, who have been baptised, belong to their local church on the basis that they belong to Jesus. A practical fellowship and coming together as a Biblical church can only begin with confessing this. The Bible does not teach ”ecumenicalism” in the sense of a fellowship of believers ”across church borders”. The Bible teaches us to build the fellowship without church borders. This is what we do.

THE CHURCH IS ONE

Jerusalem had ONE church with tens of thousands of members. Acts 21:20, 2:41, 4:4,32, 5:13-16. Even so, the one church in Jerusalem only had one body of elders. Acts 15:4, 21:18. But this one church already then had multiple meeting places where the ONE and same apostolic teachhing was received. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship. Acts 2:42, 1:13-15, 12:12, 1 Cor. 1:10, etc. The same principles should apply to the end: one church, one city. Two churches, two cities. Seven churches, seven cities. Rev. 1:11-20. etc. Tit. 1:5, etc. And one local church can have multiple meeting places according to need but the meeting places are not churches. In the beginning, the church met a lot in private homes. It was a good system. But they didn’t consider the homes as churches, only meeting places. So it isn’t Biblical to establish, for example, ”home church movements” or a ”home church”. May God protect His own from doing that, which is what every other divisive movement has done. 1 Cor 1:10-13, 3.3-11.

THE FOUNDATION

Paul preached the gospel, thus laying a foundation in people’s lives. I laid a foundation as a wise builder… For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.1 Cor 3:10,11. That’s how the ”church of the living God” was born in Corinth, amongst other places, formed from people who had become believers. It happened when ”the Corinthians, who were listening, believed and were baptised.” Acts 18:8, 1 Cor 1:2, Acts 2:41, !thes 2:14. They were placed on the foundation, Jesus.

The group of people who are saved is the new covenant temple, the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:27), whose degradation has always been a serious sin. Don’t you know that YOU yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.1Cor 3:16,17, Eph 2:19-22, heb 3:6. So we are the ”living stones” mentioned here. 1 Pet 2:5. Every living stone sings eternal thanks to the Lamb. In Rev. 21, we are told the angel promised to show John ”the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” Rev. 21:19. And he showed John ”the holy city, Jerusalem”. So ”the bride” is the same as the Lamb’s wife, i.e. the church, the new Jerusalem built from living stones, a city that sings eternal thanks.

JESUS IS THE ONLY FOUNDER OF THE CHURCH.

By His work of salvation, He established his own church in three days. ”Jesus answered them, Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days. They replied, It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days? But the temple he had spoken of was his body.” Jn 2:19-22.

THE FINISHED CHURCH

The church was finished by the end of the apostolic period, about 100 AD. All the Bible Scriptures had been put together by then and were at the disposal of the church, 66 books. Also, all the doctrines concerning church practices, teachings, ministries (so-called church offices) etc. were done. But most importantly, everyone understood the being of the church as ONE body of Christ. 1 Cor 12:27. ”One body”. Eph 4:4.

No one has been comissioned by God to establish new churches. The Bible does not teach that. That is why we cannot participate in man-made religions. It is written into the form of the ”one church”: …not giving up meeting together…Heb 10:25. The teaching means tha we must have A PLACE FOR GROWING in a local church fellowship, from where we can go into action in accordance with the Holy Spirit’s lead and the support of the church’s prayer. This is the God given teaching that prevents division and is for our best. It must now be applied. And it doesn’t necessarily mean just one meeting place but the local church can meet in as many places as the number of members requires, as long as none of the meeting places separates itself from other believers in the area to become a seperate sect.

The church as it was at the beginning is given to be an example to all Christians in all ages all over the world. 1 Cor 1:10.13, 3:1-11, Heb. 13:8,9,13, etc.

The Biblical Christian fellowship and work on the principle of one church is the absolute will of God! If anyone teaches otherwise, they have not yet understood Bible teaching.

EVERYONE IS CALLED TO JOIN

In additon to individual believers, all the denominations founded by men can join the church system laid out in this text. HOW? They must stop their solo act and all the teaching that separates believers from each other and renounce the principles of division. For example, all name plaquards and membership registers must be removed and then they should confess that their work is to be within the fellowship of the ONE church of God. They went out from us, 1 Jn 2:19. Should those who have left not return? So When they have decided to do God’s will, they can make a public announcement something like this:

”We now commit ourselves to seeing things the way God sees them, that there is only ONE church in our local area that has been redeemed by Jesus’ blood, meaning all of us who have become believers in this locality and who have been Biblically baptised. You are welcome to the fellowship of your own church. Heb 10:25.

We no longer agree to use unbiblical names for the church, because the church belongs to God. Notice the ownership:

– ”To the church of God in Corinth” 1 Cor 1:2, 2 Cor 1:1.
– ”Do not cause anyone to stumble… or the church of God”. 1Cor 10:32, 11:16, 15:9.
”nor do the churches of God.” 1 Cor 11:16.
– ”Or do you despise the church of God?” 1 Cor 11:22.
”how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.” Gal. 1:13.
-”For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus.” 1 Tess. 2:14.
”you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God. ” 1 Tim. 3:15.

It is Biblical to call a church according to its local area, for example, 1 Thes 1:1. But humanly invented name plaquards on meeting places are elements of division that every believer must remove from their lives so that they would no longer work in subjection to them.

We are not Lutheran, Pentecostal, Baptist, Adventist, Free Church, Ecumenical etc. -ists or from those. We are not Catholic or Protestant. We are just God’s children redeemed with Jesus’ blood.

We have come out of sects and all membership register religions.

In every local area in Finland, as well, we should initiate the church function and work in accordance with the apostolic model laid out here. We must procure a meeting place that is for all the believers in the area. And when Biblical church functioning has been started, no new ”chuch” can be established in that area. It would be the beginning of division all over again. 1 Cor 1:10-13, 34-37.

Each and every one must confess and seek the church fellowship depicted in this text. It is God’s will!

Our common task is to bring people together into the faith and doctrine that the first Christians were i;, into Bible teaching. Acts 2:41,42. “Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” Ps 50:5. That is the end time message. Joel 2:16.

This is God’s vision of His own Church.

It is not religion you need

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born as a man about 2,000 years ago. He died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for you to free you from sin and the bondage of religion. Only Jesus has redeemed for us access to the fellowship of God : ”I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” John 10:9.

God is looking for you, his prodigal son. And if you seek Him and want to turn to Him, you will surely become a child of God. ”The seeker will find!” God is waiting to show you mercy. ”Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18 ”But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 

God’s will for you is good! He wants you to be in Heaven with Him.

Jesus is a living person, He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords! He is not a religious ideology or just a biblical doctrine. Religions cannot lead you to salvation and gain God’s favor. God has prepared a different way for us – ”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. Only the blood of Jesus washes away your sins! He never told his followers to start churches or other religions. The difference between religion and living faith is that religions are man-made and man-sustained; the Holy Spirit of God is the creator and sustainer of living faith!

The devil accepts different religions. The devil even uses them to achieve his goals for mankind, which are ultimately to keep people away from Jesus. Religion is often placed in the human heart in a place that should belong to Jesus! Religions are a substitute for living faith.
The moment living faith in Jesus is accepted, the human spirit, the centre of the human person, is given new life in the Holy Spirit: ”…Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:3-5.
”Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17.

A new man is born to replace the old. Such a person is converted to a living faith, his sins are forgiven, he has repented and is saved, in other words he is born again of the Holy Spirit. This is a very different process from choosing a religion or church. John 1:12

With the eyes of your heart you can look at the scourged and suffering Christ on the cross of Golgotha. You can repent and ask forgiveness for your sins. Jesus has paid for you the penalty that should have been yours, and He wants to forgive you. Accept Jesus as your Saviour and give your life to Him! ”For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18
Mankind is divided into only two groups:
Those who believe in Jesus, who are on their way to Heaven and those who have no part in faith in Jesus, who are still in a state of sin and on their way to damnation.

Belonging to a religion does not change this definition. Being born in the faith is a change of direction that leads to heaven. People who believe in Jesus are the congregation of God. Without a living faith, one does not belong to this congregation , even if one is a subscribing member of any religion.
”He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark. 16:16.
”Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:41.

You don’t need religion, you need Jesus in your life.

How do you get to Heaven and eternal life?

God is waiting to be merciful to you. He has good will towards you. Jesus is our Good Shepherd. John 14:6: ”Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”He atoned for our sins on the cross, thus opening the right way for us to Heaven. ”It is finished!”At the end of our temporal life, an eternal kingdom of glory awaits us:Romans 6:23: ”For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Acts 4:23: ”Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”John 1:12. ”But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”

Jesus is the Only Savior and the Atoner for our sins! There is no other way to get to Heaven. Neither man’s own goodness nor religions, ideologies, etc. can save man. No matter how good a person you are, how many charities you belong to, how many of the best religions you belong to, but if Jesus is not in your life, you cannot get there. There is no man so good that he does not need the salvation that comes through the substitutionary sacrifice of the cross; and there is no man so bad that Jesus cannot have mercy on. The blood of Jesus cleanses from sins for every repentant sinner who humbles himself and repents.  His substitutionary sacrifice is our only chance. And the next step is to be baptized. Acts 2:41.

Only those who have come to faith will go to Heaven. The best thing in life is to become a child of God. And in this life, it is enough for us to have our name in the book of life in Heaven. Luke 10:20: ”Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

A simple prayer:
”Lord Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross and rose from the dead to Heaven as the Bible teaches. I receive you as my Lord and Saviour. Have mercy on me, help me to repent and turn to you, forgive my sins and lead me on the right path. Help me to believe in You. Amen. ”

Do you know God loves you?

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.

But man is sinful and separated from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Romans 3:23 & Isaiah 59:2.

Jesus Christ is the only way to God.
Jesus died on the cross for you.
Jesus said, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” John 14:6 & Romans 5:8.

You can receive Christ by faith through prayer:
“Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God and You
died on the cross and rose from the dead. I receive
You as my Lord and Savior. Forgive me for my
sins and take control of my life. Help me to believe in you.”

Has anybody told You, how much God loves you and how important person you are to God? Have You ever taught, that God might have brought You to Finland, that You could hear the message of the Christian faith and the message of Jesus, who atoned Your sins on the cross of Golgatha.
He took the curse of Your sins and died in the midst of great pain for You! He suffered for You and took on himself all the punishment that belongs to You.
“It is finished!”
Jesus brought sins of all mankind on the cross. Now all the sins of every person, who receives Jesus as his or her own Savior, will be forgiven. Every person, who believes in Jesus as his or her own Savior will be free of punishment! “There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus!” Rom. 8:1

Also You may receive God´s mercy and freedom from Your sins by receiving Jesus as your Savior and Lord. This message You might not be able to hear in Your muslim country.

So, what are You going to do about Your sins?
Nobody can be a child of God or get in to Paradise without Jesus.
Jesus opened the way to the Heavens by His blood. He said: “I am the way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by Me.” Joh 14:6.
Religions are, therefore, unnecessary.

God was in Christ and reconciling the world to Himself.” 2. Kor. 5:19.
Jesus sacrificed Himself for Your and atoned Your sins by His suffering and death! Jesus is not a religion or a religious ideology. He has risen up from the death and is now the King of Heaven, the Son of God, the Lord, who has all the power in Heaven and on the earth.

Get a Bible and begin to read it from the New Testament. If You understand Finnish, get “Raamattu Kansalle” – Bible, it is a good translation. When You read, pray that the Holy Spirit would help You to understand what You read. When You pray in the name of Jesus, God will hear You. He is waiting for You. He is willing to do good for You, to save you, to forgive Your sins, to be Your friend. You can tell Him all Your concerns.

When You have received Jesus as Your Savior and Lord, contact us. We will arrange a baptism for You where You will be baptised in full-immersion baptism in the name of Your new Lord Jesus Christ. In this way You will become a Cristian, a child of God.
Only this way You will get in to Paradise after this life.

This is for you

Jesus died on the cross for your sins. The punisment for your sins was laid upon Him.
But he rose from the dead. He ascended up to Heaven and from there He will return.

He says:
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE WILL COME TO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME.” John. 14:6.

a Message to the Offspring of Abraham

GOD HAS CHOSEN THE OFFSPRING OF ABRAHAM, ISAC AND JACOB TO BE HIS OWN PEOPLE ABOVE OTHER NATIONS. AS FAR AS GOD´S PLAN IS CONCERNED, THIS CHOICE IS STILL ESTABLISHED.
NOW THEREFORE, IF YE OBEY MY VOICE INDEED, AND KEEP THE COVENANT, THEN YE SHALL BE A PECULIAR TREASURE UNTO ME ABOVE ALL THE PEOPLE, FOR ALL THE EARTH IS MINE. (Exodus 19:5)

(Jeremiah 31:35-37 ) THUS SAITH THE LORD, WHICH GIVETH THE SUN FOR A LIGHT BY DAY, AND THE ORDINANCES FOR THE MOON AND THE STARS BY NIGHT; WHICH DIVIDETH THE SEA WHEN THE WAWES THEREOF ROAR; THE LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME: IF THOSE ORDINANCES DEPART FROM ME, SAITH THE LORD, THEN THE SEED OF ISRAEL SHALL CEASE FROM BEING A NATION FOR ME FOR EVER. THUS SAITH THE LORD; IF THE HEAVEN CAN BE MEASURED, AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH SEARCHED OUT BENEATH, I WILL ALSO CAST OFF ALL THE SEED OF ISRAEL FOR ALL THAT THEY HAVE DONE, SAITH THE LORD.
God is now calling His people to get out of the way of apostasy, like so many more times before.
The return of the Jews to their own land is a today-happening phase as God is renewing the promises of the covenant given to Abraham : Genesis 12:1-7.
A nowadays-Exodus is turning to a spiritual awakening in the land of Israel, as prophet Ezekiel predicts: chapters 37-39.
The ultimate solution is: AND SO ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED. (Romans 11:26. )
The Holy Spirit is blowing the wind of The Life upon Israel.
The Jews and the existence of being spiritually Jewish is still firmly connected to the revelation of the Bible and to the OBEDIENCE to the voice of Lord ( Matthew 21: 43-46.).

Moses teaches five things: (Deuterenomy 30:2-6)
1. (THOU) SHALT RETURN TO THE LORD, THY GOD, AND SHALT OBEY HIS VOICE ACCORDING TO ALL THAT I COMMAND TO THEE THIS DAY, THOU AND THY CHILDREN, WITH ALL THINE HEART AND ALL THY SOUL
2. THEN THE LORD WILL TURN AWAY THE CAPTIVITY, AND HAVE COMPASSION UNTO THEE.
3. AND (THE LORD) WILL RETURN AND GATHER THEE FROM ALL THE NATIONS, WITHER THE LORD HAVE SCATTERED THEE.
4. AND THE LORD WILL BRING THEE INTO THE LAND WHICH THY FATHERS POSSESSED.AND.
5. THE LORD WILL CIRCUMCISE THY HEART.

The God of Israel have given His promise. There is nothing that can change it. But, from the times of Abraham there has existed the enemies of Israel. Inspired by satan those, who have been led astray, want to destroy Israel and at the same time try to annihilate the plan of God. The powers of darkness and those who are under their (demons´) power, hate the people of God. Then again, the righteous-minded Christians love the Jews with the love of God, the converted and the unconverted israelites. And, just because the Lord is willing to save every Jew, we want that, too.
The false Christians are also the enemies of God and they pretend to be friends of Israel. They are against the preaching on the Gospel Of Jesus Christ to the Jews and attempt to teach tem the message and the heresy of their own churches.
So called christian churches with their images of the saints and virgin Mary-teaching are also the really the biggest obstacle against the plan of God. But also the orthodox-Jews are resisters of preaching the Gospel, they are religious fanatics.
Compare this thought to the following scripture.
1.Thessalonians 2:14-16:
FOR YE, MY BRETHERN, BECAME FOLLOWERS OF THE CHURCHES OF GOD, WHICH ARE IN JUDAEA AND ARE IN JESUS CHRIST: FOR YE ALSO SUFFERED OF YOUR OWN COUNTRYMEN, EVEN AS THEY HAVE THE JEWS, WHO BOTH KILLED THE LORD JESUS, AND THEIR OWN PROPHETS, AND HAVE PERSECUTED US; AND THEY PLEASE NOT GOD, AND ARE CONTRARY TO ALL MEN, FORBIDDING US TO SPEAK TO THE GENTILES THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED, TO FILL UP THEIR SINS ALWAYS: FOR THE WRATH IS COME UPON THEM TO THE UTTERMOST.All the things that resist the preaching the Gospel to Israel and to the Jews, are from the sources of the darkness.
Matthew 23:13: FOR YE (PHARISEES) NEITHER GO IN YOURSELVES, NEITHER SUFFER YE THEM, THAT ARE ENTERING TO GO IN.
The true friend of Israel´s and of God´s does the best he or she can, that every Jew in the world hears the message of Yeshua Ha´Mashia, who suffered and gave His blood on the cross of Golgotha in Jerusalem. There Jesus (Yeshua Ha´Mashia) died as an offer in order to atone the sins of His own people as the Sacrificed Lamb.
Acts 10:43, 3:24: to him (Jesus Christ) give all the prophets witness, that whoever through his name, believeth in Him, shall receive remission of sins.”
John 1:11-12: ”HE (YESHUA) CAME TO HIS OWN, AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT. BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM HE (GOD GAVE) THE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE TO HIS NAME ( YESHUA HA`MASHIA).
Jesus rose up from the dead. He is right now on the right side of the Father God doing his mission of the Highest Priest. (Hebrews, capter 7).
He is coming back from the Heaven to bring His own people to Him ( by the rapture), those, who have received the Word of God. Their fate has turned. They have experienced the spiritual awakening, been born-again, which is the circumcision of the heart, when they turned to the Lord.

Jesus says in Luke 13:34: ”O JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM, WHICH KILLEST THE PROPHETS AND STONEST THEM THAT ARE SENT UNTO THEE : HOW OFTEN WOUD I HAVE GATHERED THY CHILDREN TOGETHER, AS A HEN DOTH GATHER HER BROOD UNDER HER WINGS, AND YE WUOLD NOT!
These words from the heart of Jesus cannot leave anybody untouched or cold.
John 8:47: HE THAT IS OF GOD , HEARETH GOD´S WORDS.
John 5:43: .I HAVE COME IN MY FATHERS´S NAME
John 8:24 : . YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS IF YE BELIEVE NOT THAT I AM HE (THE MESSIAH, THE ANOINTED ONE)..
Jesus is, besides everything else. the fulfillment of the prophesies according to the book of Isaiah, which tells about the Messiah to come.
Isaiah 53:5: THE CHASTIMENT OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.
In the same way the prophesy of Jeremiah concerning the New Covenant was fulfilled in Yeshua Ha´Mashia:
Behold , the days shall come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the tribe of Israel and with the tribe of Judah; not the kind of the covenant that I made with their fathers at the time as I took them by their hands and brought them out of the land of Egypt , which covenant of mine they have broken, although I had made them my own people, saith the Lord Instead, this is the covenant, that I shall make with the tribe of Israel, when the days will come: I will put my law into their innermost and write it into their hearts; and so I will be their God and they will be my people. The time will come, that no-one will teach each other , nor a brother teaches his brother: ´ Know the Lord´. For they all know me, the young and the old, the small and the great, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their transgressions, nor will I recall their sins anymore. (Jeremiah 31: 31-34).
Acts 4:12: NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER, FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.John 14:6: JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM:´I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE; NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME.
Deuterenomy 6:4 : HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE LORD, OUR GOD, IS ONE LORD.
There is only One Way to Him: Yeshua Ha´Mashia, Jesus Christ, whom the Father God Himself sent to atone the sins of His people.

YOU, DEAR FRIEND, WHO ARE JEWISH!
The atonement by Jesus Christ, Yeshua, opened the door of salvation also for us, the gentiles. By the sacrifice of the cross of Golgotha also the departing wall was torn down. (Ephesians 2:14.22).
The gentiles have also become branches to the real Olive tree (spiritual Israel) receiving The Messiah of Israel as the atoner of their sins and the Lord of their lives. (Romans 11:17-24). Anyhow, the messianic Jews , the believers in Jesus, are the true, real, natural branches. We, who have turned away from being a gentile, are told in the Bible:
(Romans 11.17) : AND THOU, BEING A WILD OLIVE TREE, WERT CRAFFED AMONG THEM, AND WITH THEM PARTAKEST OF THE ROOT AND THE FATNESS OF THE OLIVE TREE.
Praise the God of Israel, for His mercy to make us to be a part-taker of the fat (fruitful) root of tree of Israel! Our prayer is now is, that we will see the real branches, the Jews to come to believe in Jesus Christ.
The church of God is lacking something extremely relevant without the right, real branches.
The right Christian, being a Jew or a gentile, should not be a part of the churches of apostasy. Roman-catholic Virgin Mary-worship- church, the Lutheran church or orthodox-catholic church ,which is occult-oriented and the other institutional churches are shameful perversions of the original Christian faith. The perverted teaching of the churches have given a bad name to Christian faith.
The worshipping in churches is not the Christianity , that The New testament in the Bible teaches The right Christian faith has its jewish origins, in Jerusalem. It started from the happenings of Jesus suffering on the cross of Calvary, by the works of God.
Luke22.20: A NEW TESTAMENT IN MY BLOOD, WHICH IS SHED FOR YOU.
Israel is nowadays again in a great danger again. The thoughts of Hitler and nazi-like anti-semitic demonic powers have rose up to display. The media all around the world is stirring up hostility against the Jewish people and Israel .The Holocaust was fulfilled according to the following scripture:
Deuternomy 31:29:
FOR I KNOW THAT AFTER (MOSES´) MY DEATH , YE SHALL UTTERLY CORRUPT YOURSELVES, AND TURN ASIDE FROM THE WAY WHICH I HAVE COMMANDED YOU, AND THE EVIL WILL BEFALL YOU IN THE LATTER DAYS, BECAUSE YOU WILL DO EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, TO PROVOKE TO ANGER THROUGH THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS.
Is this the way it must continue? NO!!! Praise the Lord! Israel wants now understand and receive the Truth, because God is calling them to His mercy and love. Israel will no more forsake Jesus. As it is written: Zechariah 12:10: AND THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED.
Please, turn your eyes to Golgotha, where the Perfect Sacrificed Lamb took our sins upon Himsef!

THE GOD OF ISRAEL WANTS ONLY GOOD THINGS FOR YOU!

THERE´S MORE:
For all the Jews and Israel to know: God has chosen a nation for Himself. He has also promised to bless and help His people. But: he has set the conditions concerning His help and blessings. These conditions have not been fulfilled. That is why the mercy of God is waiting , kind of like just behind the door to come in. Now the Holy Spirit is asking a question: Will you open your door? He asks the same question to every individual among the jewish people, so it is asked You, too!
Everywhere around the world we have, with deepest interest and hearts trembling, followed the history and phases of the Jewish people. People, who know their bible , have seen, how the holy prophesies and scriptures are just now getting their fulfilling.
The prophet of God, Ezekiel prophesied in his time a prophesy concerning our times. He wrote about things that had partly happened, but he told also about the things to come in our future. In his book in chapters 36-39 Ezekiel prophesies the diaspora that happened 70 A.D., nearly 2000 years ago, but he also told about the gathering of the Jewish people and that the state of Israel will be established and formed again.
But at the highlight of his prophesy he predicts the spiritual awakening of the Jewish people: The Spirit enered in them, and they came alive and stood upon their feet, a geat amount (of Jewish people) (Ezekiel 37:10).
The subject was about the prophesy of the dry, dead bones.
Man, these bones are the entire tribe of Israel. Behold, they say: ´Our bones are dry, the hope is gone, we are lost. (Ezekiel 37:11).
But the Messiah of the Jews, Yeshua Ha´Mashia, The Son of God, is now calling His own people to his salvation and mercy.
The spiritual awakening of the latter days in right now happening.
The remnant of the holy people is going to receive the Sacrificed lamb of God :Yeshua, who took our sins upon Himself in Jerusalem, at the cross of Golgotha.
THE CHASTIMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM (Isaiah 53.)

Jesus is now sitting on the Throne with Father God, AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE POWER ..(Mark. 14:62).
The One God of Israel is that Power, and Yeshua is sitting on the right side of Him!
Nobody will come to the Father, but by Jesus. (John 14:6). A person, who is living in sin, cannot live in the Light of the Holy God. The sin departs you and keeps you away from God!
Behold, the hand of the Lord is not too short to help you, nor is His ear too deaf to hear ; but your evil deeds depart you from God, and your sins cover up His face from you, so He cannot hear you. For your hands are stained with blood and your fingers with falseness ; your mouths lie, your tongues deceive. (Isaiah 59:1-3.)

THOSE TIMES OF MADNESS HAS GOD SUFFERED, BUT NOW HE WANTS TO MAKE KNOWN, THAT EVERY MAN EVERYWHERE MUST REPENT. FOR HE HAS ESTABLISHED THE DAY, WHEN HE WILL JUDGE THE WHOLE EARTH IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, BY THE MAN (YESHUA), THAT HE HAS GIVEN THE POWER TO, AND HE HAS GIVEN THE ASSURANCE THEREOF TO EVERY MAN, BY WAKING HIM UP FROM THE DEAD. (Acts 17:30-31)

Now is the time for You to turn with steadiness to God and repent from all your sins. BUT, AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM (Yeshua Ha´Mashia) TO THEM HE (GOD) GAVE THE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS (AND DAUGHTERS) OF GOD. (John 1:12)

.

It is fulfilled!

A cry that changed the whole world came from the cross, out of the lips of the bleeding and tormented Christ. It was a joyful cry of triumph. Jesus had fulfilled the task of His life, given to Him by His Father. He had been born to a body of flesh, and now he was leaving the body of flesh. He had made up for the sins of Adams family by his offer. The power of sin had been broken. The power of Satan was defeated He had bought people with his own blood to be His. The way to Gods mercy and love was opened to everyone. Even the worse sinner may now reach grace by faith in the power of his blood.

The resurrection of Jesus from the tomb open the way to holy life for all those who receive Him.

It has been written to those who believe: ”We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all … for by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (Hebr. 10:10,14).

Sin, Satan and Hell were defeated at Golgata. The way to Heaven is open for us. – Jesus Christ is the Lord! He is: ”the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6).
