Is It Worth It

Is It Worth It
Author: Mark V. Markov

You, you give yourself away
By everything you do
By everything you say
And as the world sees
As the world observes

The world and its desires
It fades away
It passes away
But the word of God
The word of God
Abides forever

If you put your trust in the world.
One day will come
And you will lose it all
Yet, if you put your trust in God
In Elohim our Creator
Then in eternal happiness
You will be forever

Is it worth it?
To attain the world
To deny the teaching of Jesus Christ
And in the end of it
To lose your own soul?

To burn forever
To never come back
To never return.
Once you are gone,
You are gone forever.

In this world
In this time
We all have an opportunity
To believe
To realize

That we are nothing,
Without our Redeemer Lord Jesus Christ.
We are nothing,
Without Heavenly Father, only Begotten Son, Holy Spirit.
We are nothing,
Without Elohim our Creator.

Is it worth it?

We all have an opportunity

That we are nothing,
Without our Redeemer Lord Jesus Christ.
We are nothing,

We are nothing,
Without the Holy Trinity.
We are nothing,
Without our Triune God.
We are nothing,
Without Elohim our Creator...


Matthew 16:26 (ESV)

26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world
and forfeits his soul?
Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?


Mark 8:36-38 (ESV)

36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

37 For what can a man give in return for his soul?

38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous
and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed
when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

         1 John 2:15-17 (ESV)


         Do Not Love the World

         15 Do not love the world or the things in the world.
         If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

         16 For all that is in the world the desires of the flesh
         and the desires of the eyes
         and pride of life is not from the Father but is from the world.

         17 And the world is passing away along with its desires,
         but whoever does the will of God abides forever.




         1 John 2 (ESV)

         Christ Our Advocate

         1 My little children,
         I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.
         But if anyone does sin,
         we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

         2 He is the propitiation for our sins,
         and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

         3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.

         4 Whoever says I know him but does not keep his commandments is a liar,
         and the truth is not in him,

         5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected.
         By this we may know that we are in him:

         6 whoever says he abides
         in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

         The New Commandment

         7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment,
         but an old commandment that you had from the beginning.
         The old commandment is the word that you have heard.

         8 At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you,
         which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away
         and the true light is already shining.

         9 Whoever says he is in the light
         and hates his brother is still in darkness.

         10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light,
         and in him there is no cause for stumbling.

         11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness
         and walks in the darkness,
         and does not know where he is going,
         because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

         12 I am writing to you, little children,
         because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.

         13 I am writing to you, fathers,
         because you know him who is from the beginning.
         I am writing to you, young men,
         because you have overcome the evil one.
         I write to you, children,
         because you know the Father.

         14 I write to you, fathers,
         because you know him who is from the beginning.
         I write to you, young men,
         because you are strong,
         and the word of God abides in you,
         and you have overcome the evil one.


         Do Not Love the World

         15 Do not love the world or the things in the world.
         If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

         16 For all that is in the world the desires of the flesh
         and the desires of the eyes
         and pride of life is not from the Father but is from the world.

         17 And the world is passing away along with its desires,
         but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
         Warning Concerning Antichrists

         18 Children, it is the last hour,
         and as you have heard that antichrist is coming,
         so now many antichrists have come.
         Therefore we know that it is the last hour.

         19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us,
         they would have continued with us.
         But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.

         20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.

         21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth,
         but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

         22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?
         This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

         23 No one who denies the Son has the Father.
         Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.

         24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you.
         If what you heard from the beginning abides in you,
         then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father.

         25 And this is the promise that he made to us eternal life.

         26 I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.

         27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you,
         and you have no need that anyone should teach you.
         But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true,
         and is no lie”just as it has taught you, abide in him.
         
         Children of God

         28 And now, little children, abide in him,
         so that when he appears we may have confidence
         and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.

         29 If you know that he is righteous,
         you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
