JESUS* The [only] Messiah, told us how to live to have peace, joy and blessings:
"And He [JESUS] opened His mouth and taught them,saying,''blessed are the poor in Spirit; for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven, blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted,blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth,blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled, blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy,blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see GOD,blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the Children of GOD. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness's sake; for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven;blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake; rejoice! and be exceeding glad:for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. " Matthew 5:2-12
"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:19
'Our FATHER, which art in heaven, Hallowed [holy, sacred] be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts [ and sins] as we forgive our debtors [those who sin against us].
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen."
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly FATHER will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your FATHER forgive your trespasses. ." Matthew 5:6-15

For GOD sent not HIS SON** into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through HIM, might be saved.

III. Confessing your sins, repenting (turning away from) of evil and acknowledging that JESUS's sacrifice on the Cross set you free of sin:
"JESUS answered and said unto him,'Verily, verily, I say unto you,unless a man be born again, he cannot see The Kingdom of God." John 3:3 ,
"And behold a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him saying, MASTER, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He (JESUS) said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou? And he (the lawyer) answering said, Thou shalt love THE LORD thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might (strength) , and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. And He (JESUS) said unto him, thou hast answered right; this do, and thou shalt live."

IV Be Baptised as a public acknowledgement of being raised from the dead, old man to the new life, eternal.
John the Baptist said, " I indeed baptise you wth water unto repentance; but HE that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; HE shall baptise you with The Holy Ghost [Spirit of GOD] and with fire; whose fan is in HIS hand; and HE will thoroughly purge HIS floor, and gather HIS wheat, into the garner; but HE will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." Matthew 3: 11-12
"But JESUS answered and said, 'ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of? and to be baptised with the baptism I AM baptised with?" And they said unto HIM, "we are able." And HE saith unto them, 'ye shall drink indeed of MY cup and be baptized with the baptism I AM baptised with, but to sit on MY right hand,and on MY left, is not Mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of MY FATHER." Matthew 20: 22-23
"Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death, that like as CHRIST was raised up from the dead by the glory of THE FATHER, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of HIS resurrection." Romans 6:4-5
"Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto GOD through JESUS CHRIST our LORD." Romans 6:11
V. Follow JESUS's teachings and example:
"And HE (JESUS) said to them all, If any man will come after ME, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow ME." Luke 9:23
JESUS said,"But whosoever shall be ashamed of ME and of My words, of him shall The Son of Man, be ashamed, when He shall come in His Own Glory, and in HIS FATHER's ;and of the angels." Luke 9:26
JESUS said,"let your light so shine before men,that they may see your good works and glorify your FATHER which is in heaven.Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets, I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. For verily, I say unto you,till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore, shall break one of these commandments,and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in The Kingdom of Heaven." Matthew 5:16-17
JESUS said, "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.That ye may be children of your FATHER, which is in heaven; for HE maketh the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain to the just and the unjust. For if you love them, which love ye, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same? " Matthew 5:44-45
JESUS said, "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light; and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops." Matthew 10:27
JESUS said,"For by thy words that shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Matthew 12:37
"JESUS said unto him, Thou shalt love THE LORD thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the First and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22:37-40
JESUS said,"And be not called Rabbi, for one is your MASTER, even CHRIST; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father, upon the earth; for one is your FATHER, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called Masters: for one is your MASTER, even CHRIST. But he that is greatest among you, shall be your servant.And whosoever shall exalt himself,
shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted." Matthew 23:8-12
"And JESUS came and spake unto them, saying,' all power is given unto ME in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of THE FATHER, and of THE SON, and of The HOLY GHOST; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always,even to the end of the world.Amen." Matthew 28:18-20
VI. Receive the Holy Ghost Power to live life and overcome!
"JESUS answered, verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into The Kingdom of GOD." John 3:5
JESUS said, "But The Comforter,which is The HOLY GHOST, whom THE FATHER will send in MY Name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace, I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,neither let it be afraid."
John 14:26-27
"For we have not received the Spirit of Bondage again to fear; but ye have received The Spirit of Adoption, whereby we cry, ABBA, FATHER. THE SPIRIT Itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God." Romans 8:15-16
JESUS said, "God is a Spirit and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth." John 4:24

And he (the lawyer) answering said, Thou shalt love THE LORD thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might (strength) , and with all thy mind and thy neighbor as thyself. And He (JESUS) said unto him, thou hast answered right; this do, and thou shalt live."
Luke 10: 27-28
VII. Eternal Life
JESUS said, " and no man hath ascended up to heaven, but HE that came down from heaven, even The Son of Man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son of Man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth on HIM should not perish but have everlasting life. For God so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believeth on HIM should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3: 13-16
"Then Simon Peter answered, "LORD, to whom shall we go? THOU hast the words of eternal life." John 6: 68
JESUS said, " MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME; and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of MY hand. MY FATHER which gave them ME, is greater than all,and no man is able to pluck them out of MY FATHER's hand. I and MY FATHER are ONE. " John 10: 27-30
"Then spake JESUS and lifted up HIS eyes to heaven, and said, "FATHER, the hour is come; glorify THY SON, that THY SON also may glorify THEE; as THOU hast given HIM power over all flesh, that HE should give eternal life to as many as THOU hast given HIM. And this is life eternal, that they might know THEE, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and JESUS CHRIST, whom THOU hast sent. I have glorified THEE on the earth; I have finished the work which THOU gavest ME to do. And now, O FATHER, glorify THOU ME, with THINE OWN SELF, with the glory which I had with THEE, before the world was. .I have manifested THY NAME, unto the men which THOU gavest ME out of the world, THINE they were and THOU gavest them ME; and they have kept THY word. Now they have known that things whatsoever THOU hast given ME are of THEE. For I have given unto them the words which THOU gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from THEE and they have believed that THOU didst send ME. I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them which THOU hast given ME, for they are THINE.' ." John 17: 1-9
* Generally, I capitalize the Name of GOD, or Names of Honor given to GOD, to distinguish it from the human's names.
** THE SON OF GOD refers to JESUS, who was born of the HOLY SPIRIT, the BREATH, LIFE FORCE OF GOD HIMSELF by the SPIRIT "hovering" over Mary, according to Scripture and not through human s*x. JESUS referred to himself as The Son of Man, and I put those words in italics. I also put into italics those words that refer specifically to some characteristic of GOD or some place of GOD, e.g The Kingdom of Heaven, or The Kingdom of GOD. JESUS always deferred to GOD THE FATHER in heaven and HE always pointed people back to GOD. HE specifically told the humans not to worship HIM but to worship GOD THE FATHER. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND HE IS MANIFESTED IN SPIRIT AND FLESH [WHEN ON THE EARTH] so that humans could perceive, see and clearly hear HIM.
