Responding to Jay-Z: Kingdom State of Mind

When I heard Jay-Z line, “Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends”, I was shocked! I felt angry because I’m from New York, so of course I was a huge Jay supporter at one time then I was falling back from supporting Jay so much because I was falling more in love with Jesus but when I heard this I was like, “Yo Jay!! Son, you went too far now!” So my response to Jay-Z and for those who don’t know my Christ, here is my response:
JESUS CAN SAVE!!! John 3:16-17 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life (salvation). For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.” Colossians 1:13-14 says, “For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 2:13-14, “When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive tighter with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” Ephesians 5:2:4-10, “But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Romans 5:8-9 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.”
Jigga, I can go on and on but the greatest verse or biblical translation is a living translation which is my own life. I was in sin and God saved me through His Son Jesus who is the living Christ, Son of the living God, the true God! Everyday no matter what I face, Jesus walks with me, Jesus keeps me and after all I have gone through having been from the streets of Brooklyn NY, I conclude that I am here today, enjoying life because of Jesus Christ and I am glad though from the Empire State, Jesus saved me from the corrupt Empire State of Mind and filled me with a Kingdom State of Mind!! Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you!” My Jesus has saved, is saving and will continue to save!
1 John 5:5 "Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? " Don't be deceived, Jesus saves!! Get your mind right before you get left!
The Streets are talking, and the Church is too!!
Holla back! Rev. Max Out! 1!
