Welcome To BARAH MINISTRIES
a Christian Church
Then I (the apostle John) saw a great white throne and Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) who sat upon it, from whose presence (the) earth and (the) heaven(s) fled away (have vanished), and no place was found for them (to live).
And I (the apostle John) saw the dead (unbelievers), the (ones with) great (influence) and the (ones with) small (influence), standing before the (great white) throne, and books were opened; and (among them) another book was opened, which is (called) the book of life; and the dead (unbelievers) were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds (actions).
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds (actions).
Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
The Lord (Jesus Christ) is not slow about His promise (of salvation), as some count slowness (as many accuse Him of being), but is patient toward you (unbelievers), not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance (a change of mind about Christ).
“Then the King will say to those on His right, “Come, you who are blessed of My Father (believers in Christ), inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
“‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in…”
“‘…(I was) naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’”
“Then the righteous (believers in Christ) will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or (when did we see You) thirsty, and give You something to drink?’”
“‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or (when did we see You) naked, and clothe You?’”
“‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’”
“The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’”
“Then He (the Lord Jesus Christ) will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels…’”
“‘…for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink…’”
“‘I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’”
“Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’”
“Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’”
“These (the ones on the left) will go away into eternal punishment (in the Lake of Fire), but the righteous (believers in Christ) into (the) eternal (Zoe) life (which they got at the moment of salvation).”

3. Bond Servant of Christ
BOND SERVANT
The Greek word is doulos…a slave…a person who is bound to the master for life…one who freely serves…a person owned by another person.
“…whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant…”
“…and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave (doulos) of all.”
“For even the Son of Man (the Lord Jesus Christ) did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
“For God (the Father) did not send (God) the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.”

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers…
…for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ…
…until we (believers in Christ) all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
PAUL’S RESUME
5. The Least of the Apostles
For I (Paul) am the least of the apostles, and (I am) not fit (qualified) to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
But by the grace of God I am (and always will be) what I am (by means of His grace), and His grace toward me did not prove vain (a bad decision); but I labored even more than all of them (the other apostles), yet not I (in the energy of the flesh doing the labor), but the grace of God with(in) me (doing the work).
