Hebrews 10:22-24
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
The Omega Team has five members:
[1] General Ax
I Corinthians 6:9-11
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
In these last days, there is the subtle merging and the lowering of moral and spiritual values. These agendas are being championed by some celebrities (singers and actors), well known sporting personalities and politicians.
The Ax needs to laid at the root of all appearances of evil, even if they are nicely dressed in terms such as: gender-fluidity, trans, gay, and alternative lifestyles. Those that are godly need to talk plainly and call ungodly behavior for what it really is, sin.
[2] Faith
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 11:1-2
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Faith is that which helps us to operate beyond the limitations of our fives senses. In order to operate in the things of the Spiritual Realm, faith is required.
By faith in the Lord Jesus Christ we received our salvation, by believing in our hearts and confessing with our mouth. (Romans 10:10)
Also in Romans 1:17, we also know that the just shall live by faith. Living by faith involves maintaining a trust and a belief that the LORD is well able to keep unto that day, what has been committed unto Him.
[3] Hope
Romans 8:24-25
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Hope is the driving force behind our belief. At present there is no physical difference in the body of the believer as opposed to that of the unsaved person. The great blessed Hope that we have in Christ is captured within the following verses of scripture:
I Corinthians 15:51-53
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[4] Grace
Romans 5:15-17
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
Grace is the driving force that empowers us to endure trials and tribulations. The Apostle Paul, who wrote 14 of the 27 books that comprise the New Testament, which is just over 30% of the text, was no stranger to severe hardships. When he prayed for deliverance, the following verse captures the Lord’s response:
II Corinthians 12:9
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
[5] Professor Cross
I Corinthians 1:17-18
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
The most pivotal point in the history of mankind, was the day that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to redeem mankind and to reconcile us unto God the Father through repentance.
His death, burial and resurrection are events that we must never forget or take lightly. It is this work that cleared the way for us to have eternal life.
Hebrews 12:2
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
