I think, today, it's better to be in a denomination where we talk about Jesus Christ than in the world, and although it's certainly not obligatory to go through that, it can be a good start for a lot of people, who want to follow Jesus Christ.

I made my first Christian steps in a denomination, it was profitable to me in the beginning of my Christian walk, I do not regret anything, and if I left it, it is because the Lord had it to me request.
It will do, I think, a little over 15 years, that I live my faith outside of all denominations.

I have sometimes heard in the denominations: "do not leave your assembly, otherwise, like the log of wood coming out of the fireplace, you end up getting colder. And many other things as for example; you must to have spiritual cover etc.
There is nothing true in all that, the only thing true to 100%: that as long as we are faithful to the Lord, he takes care of us, his sheep.

Contrary to what was said, it is precisely because I left the denominations, that the Lord could open my eyes, as in the verses 2 to 4 of John 10. He led me outside and he walks in front of me, and I follow him.
Although, sometimes, my sight did not go further than a lamp at my feet, as written in Psalm 119 verse 105. Or as Jesus says in Matthew 6/34: " Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”. But that's what I can say with confidence, looking at my past life.

To go further in the faith, it will be necessary one day or another, at the request of the Lord, to leave denominations which hold the sheep under the law.

The end of Matthew 7 from verse 13, that you can read, if you want, and Romans 16 from verse 17 to 20 will be the focus of my study.

Math 7 verse 13 and 14

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”

Note that we must find the door and the path. Jesus says: “and those who find it are few”.

If we find the door and we do not take the path, where even fools cannot go astray, as said Isaiah in chapter 35, verse 8, that will not be enough.

This is consistent with what happened in Matthew 7, in verse 15 where Jesus speaks of the false prophets, who disguises himself as a sheep, therefore to seduce the sheep who have certainly found the door, but not yet the way.

In verse 16, Jesus tells us that false prophets are recognized by their fruits. And it is to the tree that we know the fruit, I quote:

“Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?” (Matt 7/16)
And in verse 18 Jesus says: “A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.” (End of quote)

I recently listened to a preacher, on youtube, who preached in a "denomination" he said truths, but finally he made deceptive shortcuts.

I think a majority of Christians are deceived by shortcuts. We sing our praises by biblical verses, while forgetting the basics, namely, to build his house on the Rock. (Mat 7/24)

We went through the narrow gate, but we did not find the way which leads to life.

For example, he quoted Romans 16/20: "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet"
It's a truth, but do we live it?

Let's examine the passage that speaks of it: Romans 16 verse 17 to 20

Romans 16/17 and 18:

“I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.”

In the beginning of the Christian era there was certainly the Church of Jesus Christ, with the teaching of the apostles and people who were causing divisions and scandals, which is causing harm to the teaching of the apostles.

Today, when we see all the denominations, the tendency seems to have reversed, there are only divisions and we do not see very well where the Church of Jesus Christ is, and the teaching of the apostles.

The word, denomination, as you know, means "who has a name". Each denomination, a church bearing a name, has its own interpretation of the Bible.

As the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 16:17, the church that bears a name is a division that causes damage to the teaching of the first Apostles.

My sister Sarah Allen, who lives in an area where there are mostly Christians, said in her video: "Jesus said to repent first," which can be seen on my or her Youtube channel:

"All these denominations, although they are divided, agree on a lie that is: Christians cannot stop sinning."

Finally the denominations agree among themselves on a confession of faith which is: all members of the denominations, will remain sinners, they cannot stop sinning. "

The bottom of the problem is there.

Their confession of faith is not the truth and will keep them enslaved by sin. They do not know the truth that liberates from sin.

Jesus said:
John 8/ 31 to 32
“Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

When we read the context of this verse is clear, the truth will set free you from sin.

It is obvious to everyone that: the liberation of sin is the most important point of the Gospel. Jesus came to deliver us from sin.
When it is written in Esaie 53/5
“and with his stripes we are healed.”

Even though sometimes the Lord heals us from our physical ailments, it is obvious that this is not the essence of Isaiah's message. What would be the use of being in full physical health to perish in Gehenna?

Jesus made us understand in Mat 5/30 that it is better to be crippled in the kingdom of God than entirely in hell.

Clearly, Isaiah's main message is that by the bruises of Jesus-Christ we are healed of sin. Verse 6 of Isaiah 53 tells us: All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

The first part of the verse is what denominations live.
And what brings all the children born of God together is the second part of the verse: “Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

The majority of Christians from denominations, of which I was a part, who call themselves "Born again," let us say we are free from sin while confessing that we are always sinners and that we will remain sinners throughout our life on earth.
It is nonsense, man, inspired by the devil, is full of resources to divert the truth of the Gospel.

When we are taught, that: we are more than conquerors, (Rom 8/37), that we are free from sin, (John 8/36), that we are sitting with Jesus Christ in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2/6 etc. How many times in the church in which was I, I cried out quoting verses, confessing victory to encourage me and maybe for encouraging each other.

Though these are veritable verses of truth, it was not the word of God. For never will the God of peace crush Satan under the feet of sinners, even if they are Christians.

As we continue to sin, it is obvious that we must find subterfuges, which may be: "I am sanctified in spirit, but my flesh, or my soul, is always sinful", or: I do not practice sin, I only sin from time to time, or I sin but less and less, etc. etc.
Or again: "Since we believe in Jesus, he will forgive us and transform us after our death, and will bring us into his kingdom. "

The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 6: 9-10: Do not deceive yourself, nor the immodest, idolaters, etc. in short, no sinner will enter the kingdom of God.
He will say in the following verse 11 of 1 Corinthians 6:
“And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.”

He does not say: that only the spirit is concerned, no, he says, "Washed, justified, sanctified. It's about the whole person.
A washed, justified and sanctified sinner is no longer a sinner, but a saint. And a saint does not sin.

In fact, in denominations, we always carry our iniquity, while God made it fall back on Jesus (Isaiah 53: 6).

All these drifts are a scandal inspired by the devil. Because after death, it will be too late.

The truth is: if we are not on earth, by faith, wholly, spirit, soul and body, pure, holy, blameless and in the kingdom of God, we will never be there.

The apostle John rightly wrote in 1Jan 3: 8-10
That We recognize the children of God from the children of the devil to sin (1John 3/10)

As Jesus said in Matthew 7 that I quoted at the beginning: It is with the fruit that one recognizes the false prophets and to the tree that one recognizes the fruits.
Mat 7/18
“A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit”

When you hear someone telling you that we will always remain sinners, you understand from which tree the fruit comes out.

And if we read a little further on Matthew 7, verse 23, we see that Jesus will separate from those who commit iniquity, which is sin.

It is the bad tree that commits iniquity. He may have found the door but did not find the right path. (Mat 7/14)

Sin is the key to allowing us to recognize where the Church of Jesus Christ is.

Our problem as denominational Christians is that we remain under the law, and with respect to sin, we walk by sight and not by faith.

Jesus was telling the Pharisees, under the law: John 9/41:

now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth”

If our life is like what the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 7 from verse 14, we are under the law.

And as long as we remain under the law, we will remain sinners.

All this is part of the prejudices, or damage to the teaching of the first apostles, brought by those who cause divisions and scandals. As explained the apostle Paul in Romans 16:17 and 18, advising those who want to obey the gospel to get away from these people.

This is why I said: To go further in the faith, it will be necessary one day or another, at the request of the Lord, to come out of the denominations which enclose the sheep under the law. "

The essential teaching of the first apostles was: that Jesus came to take away the sin, the body of sin, and that the children born of God are washed, sanctified, and justified once and for all.

We must believe and persevere until we receive the sanctification that the Lord gave us once for all.
Hebrews 10/10
“By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

And to receive the sanctification, by faith, for our entire being, we are an indivisible person, spirit, soul and body. Even if our body of flesh is destroyed day by day, it is still washed away from sin. (Hebrews 10/22)

It is once truly and fully crucified with Christ and sanctified by the faith that we enter the kingdom of God.

The disease can gradually gnaw a man until his death. But a minute before his death the patient is still alive.
Everyone knows that Death comes once and for all. One passes from life to death, one says.

Similarly, the sanctification that is the crucifixion in Christ, does not come gradually. It's once and for all.
One does not pass life to death, but one passes from life inherited from the sin nature of the first Adam to the new, sinless life, similar to that of Jesus Christ the last Adam, our elder brother, when he came on earth. (Romans 8/29 and 30)

It is a matter of faith in what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross.
Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen. (Hebrews 11/1)

In this new Life, as in all new lives we enter as a baby.

Jesus is the way he is also our example. He is the one we must imitate. He also started his life on this earth as a baby, and then grew up.

Jesus, born without sin in Him and having never sinned, sanctified himself, for us (John 17/19), learned obedience, although he was a son, by the things that he suffered. (Hebrews 5/8).
We too, born in a new Sinless Life, sanctify ourselves, learn obedience, throughout our growth,

and by remaining in faith, we do not sin.

Here is what Paul writes in the following Romans 16, verse 18.

“For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.”

Alas, this is what is happening today, even if the denominational preachers are not always aware of what they are doing and they still have the opportunity to repent. They do not serve the Church of Jesus Christ, but their church which bears another name.
The Church of Jesus Christ has no name.

Suite of Romans 16, verse 19 and 20

“For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore over you: but I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple unto that which is evil. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”

As it is written in verse 19, this verse 20 of Romans 16 is only for those who walk in obedience, that is to say, without sin. And not for people who confess to remain sinners all their life. and who, therefore, are sinners. (Job 3/25 and 26)

In conclusion

Jesus Christ accomplished everything on the cross, he delivered us from sin, and he can keep us from all falls without exception.

Jude 1/24

“Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy,”

Psalm 91 is a psalm that speaks to us in almost every verse that God can preserve us from every falls.
I quote verse 3:
“For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

And from the deadly pestilence.”

The fowler is the devil, the deadly pestilence is sin.

Verse 5 and 6:

“Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.”

The terror by night, the arrow, the pestilence in darkness, the destruction that wasteth at noonday, all these represents sin.

Verse 7: “A thousand shall fall at thy side,
And ten thousand at thy right hand;
But it shall not come nigh thee.”
As you see, even if a thousand fall by my side and ten thousand to my right, I would not be afflicted by sin. It is a little what Isaiah said: there will be a holy way, where no impure one will pass there and even the fools will not be able to go astray

I encourage you to read the rest of this Psalm 91 and see it as a poem dedicated to the deliverance of sin.
This is exactly what Jude 1/24 and 1 Thessalonians 5/23 to 25 say and the rest of the teaching of the apostles of the New Testament, when one's eyes are open.

Hebrews 12/14

“Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:”

Jesus will come to seek his wife who has already made herself ready. A glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing (Eph 5: 25-27) (Apo 19/7)

We must have donned the wedding garment. (Mat 22/11 and 12)
The wedding garment, I remember when I was young, when the groom had a white dress it was a sign of purity.

May the Lord illuminate the eyes of your hearts. Thank you for listening to me

Amen
