But Ye Are Not In The Flesh

 But Ye Are Not In The Flesh

Men In The Old Testament Tried To Be Close To God By The Works Of The Law. 

Philippians 3:3

For We Are The Circumcision, Which Worship God In The Spirit, And Rejoice In Christ Jesus, And Have No Confidence In The Flesh.

John 4:23-24 

But The Hour Cometh, And Now Is, When The True Worshippers Shall Worship The Father In Spirit And In Truth: For The Father Seeketh Such To Worship Him. God Is A Spirit: And They That Worship Him Must Worship Him In Spirit And In Truth.

John 14:17 

Even The Spirit Of Truth; Whom The World Cannot Receive, Because It Seeth Him Not, Neither Knoweth Him: But Ye Know Him; For He Dwelleth With You, And Shall Be In You.

Romans 8:9 

But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His.

John 3:6

That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh; And THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT.

Don't Ever Let Anyone Tell You That You Are, Flesh And Spirit, When The Lord, Tells Us Himself, We Are Spirit!

SWEETSMELLING SAVOUR

 SWEETSMELLING SAVOUR

Colossians 3:12-17 

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And Let The Peace Of God Rule In Your Hearts, To The Which Also Ye Are Called In One Body; And Be Ye Thankful. Let The Word Of Christ Dwell In You Richly In All Wisdom; Teaching And Admonishing One Another In Psalms And Hymns And Spiritual Songs, Singing With Grace In Your Hearts To The Lord. And Whatsoever Ye Do In Word Or Deed, Do All In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, Giving Thanks To God And The Father By Him.

Singing With Grace In Your Hearts To The Lord! 

When You Are Saved, Then You Know What Grace Is. When You Sing, Always Remember His Grace! Remember His Perfect Sacrifice, Remember His Death, Remember His Burial, Remember His Time In Hell, Remember His Resurrection,  Remember His Ascension, Remember His Return, Remember Eternal Life!  

REMEMBER JESUS CHRIST!!! 

Your Song Is A Sweet Savour!!! 

2 Corinthians 2:15 

For We Are Unto God A Sweet Savour Of Christ, In Them That Are Saved, and in them that perish:

Ephesians 5:1-2 

Be Ye Therefore Followers Of God, As Dear Children; And Walk In Love, As Christ Also Hath Loved Us, And Hath Given Himself For Us An Offering And A Sacrifice To God For A Sweetsmelling Savour.

Look Up, And Lift Up Your Heads!!!

Look Up, And Lift Up Your Heads!!!

First, I am not trying to cause fear or anxiety at all. I just want everyone to know that we all need to be praying. The decisions that our and other governments are making are huge. The Biden government has vowed not to open old, or create new ways, to produce more oil, coal, or natural gas, which we all know, are all used for heating and transportation. Farmers' tractors,  diesel trucks, trains, ships, and barges are not going to be able to run. As we all know, this means that our food and wares are not going to be produced, so, nothing to put on the store shelves. Diesel is the most important commodity that the world has for production and transport. Without diesel, everything shuts down. For me, I know GOD HAS THIS, and I don't fear it, but I see the evil that is coming on all of the people. The Bible Talks About It, It Has To Happen. God Spoke It To His Prophets, It All Is Prophesied. Total change is coming. Chaos brings in destruction, which ushers in the false prophet and the mark of the beast. I would be remiss if I had not warned you. God warned us beforehand so that we would not be afraid, but Faithful. KEEP THE FAITH OUR REDEMPTION IS DRAWING NIGH! 

So Pray. Do Not Fear. Just Be Ready. PREACH THE GOSPEL!!! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO NEED THE LORD, SHOW HIM IN ALL THAT WE DO!!! 

Revelation 13:15-17 

And He Had Power To Give Life Unto The Image Of The Beast, That The Image Of The Beast Should Both Speak, And Cause That As Many As Would Not Worship The Image Of The Beast Should Be Killed.  And He Causeth All, Both Small And Great, Rich And Poor, Free And Bond, To Receive A Mark In Their Right Hand, Or In Their Foreheads: And That No Man Might Buy Or Sell, Save He That Had The Mark, Or The Name Of The Beast, Or The Number Of His Name.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 

I Charge Thee Therefore Before God, And The Lord Jesus Christ, Who Shall Judge The Quick And The Dead At His Appearing And His Kingdom; Preach The Word; Be Instant In Season, Out Of Season; Reprove, Rebuke, Exhort With All Longsuffering And Doctrine. For The Time Will Come When They Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine; But After Their Own Lusts Shall They Heap To Themselves Teachers, Having Itching Ears; And They Shall Turn Away Their Ears From The Truth, And Shall Be Turned Unto Fables. But Watch Thou In All Things, Endure Afflictions, Do The Work Of An Evangelist, Make Full Proof Of Thy Ministry.

Luke 21:26-31 

Men's Hearts Failing Them For Fear, And For Looking After Those Things Which Are Coming On The Earth: For The Powers Of Heaven Shall Be Shaken. And Then Shall They See The Son Of Man Coming In A Cloud With Power And Great Glory. And When These Things Begin To Come To Pass, Then Look Up, And Lift Up Your Heads; For YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH. And He Spake To Them A Parable; Behold The Fig Tree, And All The Trees; When They Now Shoot Forth, Ye See And Know Of Your Own Selves That Summer Is Now Nigh At Hand. So Likewise Ye, When Ye See These Things Come To Pass, Know Ye That The Kingdom Of God Is Nigh At Hand.

2 Timothy 1:7 

For God Hath Not Given Us The Spirit Of Fear; But Of Power, And Of Love, And A Sound Mind.

With much love,

Sacrifice For Sins

 Sacrifice For Sins

Romans 8:3-4 

For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit.

LAW, FLESH, AND SIN 

The Law could not make the flesh strong enough to fulfill the Righteousness of the law, which is required to come before a Holy God. Because every time a man broke The Law, it made him a sinner. A man, who has broken The Law, stays a sinner until he offers a sacrifice for his sin. That is why God sent His Son to live in the flesh as a man so He could live the law to the fullest. Jesus kept The Law perfectly. Our Faith in Christ Jesus and His Sacrifice makes us Righteous. The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ with His flesh has fulfilled The Righteousness Of The Law for us. After Salvation, we don't have to worry, about doing the works of The Law, anymore because Jesus Christ did all of the work for us. The Law, Sin, And Sacrifice, All Go Hand In Hand, You Can Not Have One Without The Other. The Law always requires a sacrifice worthy of the sin committed. 

Those Christians who strive to live under The Law after Salvation should be aware that they are required, by The Law, to offer a sacrifice God will consider worthy to cover sins that they committed because their belief is the Blood of Jesus Christ is not enough to wash and keep them clean. Those Christians are frustrating the Grace of God. Those Christians have done despite Unto The Spirit Of Grace And Unto The Blood Of Jesus Christ. 

Hebrews 10:26,29 

For If We Sin Wilfully After That We Have Received The Knowledge Of The Truth, There Remaineth No More Sacrifice For Sins, 

[29] Of How Much Sorer Punishment, Suppose Ye, Shall He Be Thought Worthy, Who Hath Trodden Under Foot The Son Of God, And Hath Counted The Blood Of The Covenant, Wherewith He Was Sanctified, An Unholy Thing, And Hath Done Despite Unto The Spirit Of Grace?

THE SEED

THE SEED

Galatians 3:19 

Wherefore Then Serveth The Law? It Was Added Because Of Transgressions, TILL THE SEED SHOULD COME To Whom The Promise Was Made; And It Was Ordained By Angels In The Hand Of A Mediator.

1 John 3:1-9 

Behold, What Manner Of Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us, That We Should Be Called The Sons Of God: Therefore The World Knoweth Us Not Because It Knew Him Not. Beloved, Now Are We The Sons Of God, And It Doth Not Yet Appear What We Shall Be: But We Know That, When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him; For We Shall See Him As He Is. AND EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIETH HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE. Whosoever Committeth Sin Transgresseth Also The Law: For Sin Is The Transgression Of The Law. AND YE KNOW THAT HE WAS MANIFESTED TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS, AND IN HIM IS NO SIN. WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, Neither Known Him. Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose, The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM: AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD.

Re-read these Scriptures but, 

Replace The Word Seed With Jesus. 

Hebrews 2:16 

For Verily HE Took Not On HIM The Nature Of Angels, But HE Took On HIM The SEED Of Abraham.

The Promise Of God In The Scriptures Above Are Talking About The Promise God Made To Abraham. 

Galatians 3:16 

Now To Abraham And His Seed Were The Promises Made. He Saith Not, And To Seeds, As Of Many; But As Of One, And To Thy SEED, Which Is Christ.

Galatians 3:26-29 

For Ye Are All The Children Of God By Faith In Christ Jesus. For As Many Of You As Have Been Baptized Into Christ Have Put On Christ. There Is Neither Jew Nor Greek, There Is Neither Bond Nor Free, There Is Neither Male Nor Female: For Ye Are All One In Christ Jesus. AND IF YE BE CHRIST'S, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE.

Now answer these questions, 

Do you abide in Jesus? Are You Saved?

Was The Righteousness of Jesus Christ imputed to you?  If You Answered Yes To These Questions, Then You Can Not Sin Because Jesus, The Seed, Is In You. You Are Born Of God!

NOW YE ARE

 NOW YE ARE 

Does Your Perception Of Yourself Match The Way The Lord Sees You? 

What mean is, when you read your Bible, do you concentrate on the words?

 Here are a few examples Redeemed, Washed, Justified, and Sanctified are all used in the past tense. Words, ye are and now, are in the present tense. God uses words like these to show us how He sees us. At Salvation, this is who we are in the eyes of God, not who we will be one day. Some believe that God sees them as still wretched fleshy sinners. But the Bible does not say that at all. The Bible says we are now children of God. How does God see His Son, Jesus? He sees us exactly the same way as He does Him. God Love Jesus and God Loves Us! Just as Jesus was raised from the dead and is now with God, we will be with God when He raises us from the dead. Just as Jesus is Holy Sanctified, we are too. Just as Jesus was Glorified, we will be too. All because of His Grace! If I die today, I will be with The Lord. If I die twenty years from now, I will be with The Lord all because of His Grace. The same Grace that is on me today will be on me to take me home. Yes, There Is indeed So Much More To Come. But Stop Waiting To One Day Be, And Live In The Grace Today! 

1 Peter 1:18 

Forasmuch As Ye Know That Ye Were Not REDEEMED With Corruptible Things, As Silver And Gold, From Your Vain Conversation Received By Tradition From Your Fathers;

1 Corinthians 6:11 

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.

1 Corinthians 12:27 

NOW YE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, And Members In Particular.

Ephesians 5:8 

For Ye Were Sometimes Darkness, BUT NOW ARE YE Light In The Lord: Walk As Children Of Light:

Galatians 3:26 

FOR YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.

The Glorious Life

The Glorious Life

Some Christians say things like, If you woke up this morning, then thank The Lord, or If the Lord has Blessed you with another day, then thank The Lord. 

I know what they are saying, but I wonder why they would say it. I know they think of being alive as a blessing. Believing they are blessed because they have another day to live on earth. Happy to have more time with their family and friends. 

But if you break it down, the sting of death, which is the curse of death, is not on Christians. Death is where our Glorified Life begins. Glorified bodies of immortality. Only after our lives on earth are over will we fully know, The Glorious Life. Our lives on earth are a blessing, but when we step into The Glorious Life is where we see our God in His Glory, we see His Glorified Son that died to give us Eternal Life. The carnal mind thinks of things of the earth, but The Spiritual mind thinks of the Spiritual. 

Philippians 3:13-21 

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:  Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) FOR OUR CONVERSATION IS IN HEAVEN; FROM WHENCE ALSO WE LOOK FOR THE SAVIOUR, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: WHO SHALL CHANGE OUR VILE BODY, THAT IT MAY BE FASHIONED LIKE UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY, ACCORDING TO THE WORKING WHEREBY HE IS ABLE EVEN TO SUBDUE ALL THINGS UNTO HIMSELF.

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 

SO WHEN THIS CORRUPTIBLE SHALL HAVE PUT ON INCORRUPTION, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.  BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Let's all think before we say. Let us know and speak The Glorious Life.

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD

 THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD 

Ephesians 4:30 

And Grieve Not THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION.

1 Thessalonians 4:7-9 

For God Hath Not Called Us Unto Uncleanness, BUT UNTO HOLINESS. He Therefore That Despiseth, Despiseth Not Man, But God, WHO HATH ALSO GIVEN UNTO US HIS HOLY SPIRIT.

But As Touching Brotherly Love Ye Need Not That I Write Unto You: For Ye, Yourselves Are Taught Of God To Love One Another.

Ephesians 1:5-7,13-14 

Having Predestinated Us Unto The Adoption Of Children By Jesus Christ To Himself, According To The Good Pleasure Of His Will,  To The Praise Of The Glory Of His Grace, Wherein He Hath Made Us Accepted In The Beloved. In Whom We Have Redemption Through His Blood, The Forgiveness Of Sins, According To The Riches Of His Grace;

[13] In Whom Ye Also Trusted, After That Ye Heard The Word Of Truth, The Gospel Of Your Salvation: In Whom Also AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED, YE WERE SEALED WITH That Holy Spirit Of Promise, Which Is The Earnest Of Our Inheritance Until The Redemption Of The Purchased Possession, Unto The Praise Of His Glory.

John 3:5 

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.

Galatians 5:24-25 

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In THE SPIRIT, Let Us Also Walk In THE SPIRIT.

John 3:6 

That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh, And THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT.

WE ARE BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD!!! 

WHICH MEANS, 

WE ARE SPIRIT!!! WE ARE HOLY!!! 

Stop Grieving The Holy Spirit Of God By Saying, That You Are Flesh Or That You Are Still A Sinner. That Is Saying That You Are Still That Old Wretched Man. You are not anymore wretched, you were, but you are not now. 

1 Corinthians 6:11

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.

2 Corinthians 5:17,21 

THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. 

[21] For He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, Who Knew No Sin; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.

WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WHICH MAKES US HOLY!!! 

WE HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS! 

WE ARE WASHED! WE ARE SAVED! PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD!!!

PRIDE GOETH BEFORE DESTRUCTION, AND AN HAUGHTY SPIRIT BEFORE A FALL

 Proverbs 16:18 

PRIDE GOETH BEFORE DESTRUCTION, AND AN HAUGHTY SPIRIT BEFORE A FALL.

Ezekiel 28:12-19 

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God ; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so : thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Isaiah 14:12-15

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

2 Peter 2:4 

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Jude 1:6 

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 

Revelation 20:10

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Romans 12:1-3 

I Beseech You, Therefore, Brethren, By The Mercies Of God, That Ye Present Your Bodies A Living Sacrifice, Holy, Acceptable Unto God, Which Is Your Reasonable Service. And Be Not Conformed To This World: But Be Ye Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind, That Ye May Prove What Is That Good, And Acceptable, And Perfect, Will Of God. For I Say, Through The Grace Given Unto Me, To Every Man That Is Among You, Not To Think Of Himself More Highly Than He Ought To Think; But To Think Soberly, According As God Hath Dealt To Every Man The Measure Of Faith.

ETERNAL

ETERNAL

Matthew 13:41-42 

The Son Of Man Shall Send Forth His Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13:40 

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Matthew 25:33,41 

And He Shall Set The Sheep On His Right Hand, But The Goats On The Left.

[41] Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Revelation 20:13-15 

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.  And Whosoever Was Not Found Written In The Book Of Life Was Cast Into The Lake Of Fire.

Don't ever think that the lake of fire is not eternal punishment. The lake of fire is a real place, and has a real fire, with eternal torments. 

Matthew 25:46 

AND THESE SHALL GO AWAY INTO EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT: BUT THE RIGHTEOUS INTO LIFE ETERNAL.

Titus 3:5-7 

NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED US, BY THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST; WHICH HE SHED ON US ABUNDANTLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR; THAT BEING JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE, WE SHOULD BE MADE HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE.

Acts 4:12 

NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.

Philippians 2:9-11

WHEREFORE GOD ALSO HATH HIGHLY EXALTED HIM, AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME:  THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, OF THINGS IN HEAVEN, AND THINGS IN EARTH, AND THINGS UNDER THE EARTH; AND THAT EVERY TONGUE SHOULD CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.

WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE

WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE 

CHRISTIAN BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD! 

CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY OF SALVATION! 

Christians Believe Christ Jesus Is The Sacrifice Sent From God To Pay For Our Sins. 

Christians Believe that Jesus  Paid In Full The Cost Of The Curse Of The Law.

Christians Believe That Jesus Redeemed Us From The Curse Of The Law. 

Christians Believe That Our Faith, Is Counted To Us For Righteousness. 

Christians Believe That We Become Righteous Because Of Our Faith In The Sacrifice Of Christ Jesus. 

Christians Believe That Jesus Took All Of Our Sins Upon Himself. 

Christians Believe That When Jesus Was On His Cross, He Felt The Pains Of Death.  

Christians believe that God Raised Jesus From The Dead. 

Through Faith, Christians Believe That The Blessings Of God Are Upon Us At Salvation.

Christians believe that ALL Of The Law Is Fulfilled, In Christ Jesus. 

Christians Believe We Are No Longer Under The Law, Because, The Law Is Fulfilled, By Christ Jesus. 

Christians believe for Salvation, To Be By Faith, Jesus had to be manifested as a man, in the likeness, of sinful flesh, yet, He was without sin. 

Christians believe that Salvation, Through Faith, is the reason Jesus came to live and to die.

Christians believe the reason Jesus was raised again from the dead was to be victorious over the curse of The Law of death and hell. 

Christians believe the reason Jesus Christ was raised, again from the dead, is so that our Faith In Him would set us free of our sins! 

Christians believe that all of our sins were placed on Jesus forever.

Christians believe that the debt of our sins was paid in full by The Lord when He went into hell. 

Christians Believe That Jesus Went Into Hell To Pay For all of the sins ever committed. 

(Some Christians don't believe Jesus became sin and went to hell, I have to ask, why do you think Jesus went into hell if it wasn't to pay for our sins.) There was a dual exchange, made on the cross of Christ, the first part of the exchange is that Jesus took our sins, and the second is we receive, His Righteousness at Salvation. 

When You Say, That You Are Still A Sinner After Your Salvation, You Do Not Believe, That Jesus Took All Of Your Sins On Himself. When You Say, That You Are Still A Sinner after salvation, you Believe that You still Owe the debt of sin and need to pay for it, Yourself. When You Say, That You Are A Sinner, Then You Don't Believe That You Are The Righteousness Of God, In Him. 

Hebrews 10:12 

But This Man, After He Had Offered One Sacrifice For Sins For Ever, Sat Down On The Right Hand Of God;

Galatians 3:13 

Christ Hath Redeemed Us From The Curse Of The Law, Being Made A Curse For Us: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Hangeth On A Tree:

Romans 4:5 

But To Him That Worketh Not, But Believeth On Him That Justifieth The Ungodly, His Faith Is Counted For Righteousness.

1 John 2:2 

And He Is The Propitiation For Our Sins: And Not For Ours Only, But Also For The Sins Of The Whole World.

Acts 2:24 

Whom God Hath Raised Up, Having Loosed The Pains Of Death: Because It Was Not Possible That He Should Be Holden Of It.

Acts 2:31 

He Seeing This Before Spake Of The Resurrection Of Christ, That His Soul Was Not Left In Hell, Neither His Flesh Did See Corruption.

Acts 2:32 

This Jesus Hath God Raised Up, Whereof We All Are Witnesses.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, Who Knew No Sin; That We Might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him.

LIVE IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT CHRIST JESUS DIED TO GIVE YOU!!! LIVE IN THE VICTORY OF HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE!!!

What The World Needs Today

 What The World Needs Today

Isaiah 61:1-2 

The Spirit Of The Lord God Is Upon Me; Because The Lord Hath Anointed Me To Preach Good Tidings Unto The Meek; He Hath Sent Me To Bind Up The Brokenhearted, To Proclaim Liberty To The Captives, And The Opening Of The Prison To Them That Are Bound; To Proclaim The Acceptable Year Of The Lord, And The Day Of Vengeance Of Our God; To Comfort All That Mourn;

JESUS SAID, 

Luke 4:18-21 

The Spirit Of The Lord Is Upon Me Because He Hath Anointed Me To Preach The Gospel To The Poor; He Hath Sent Me To Heal The Brokenhearted, To Preach Deliverance To The Captives, And Recovering Of Sight To The Blind, To Set At Liberty Them That Are Bruised, To Preach The Acceptable Year Of The Lord. And He Closed The Book, And He Gave It Again To The Minister And Sat Down. And The Eyes Of All Them That Were In The Synagogue Were Fastened On Him. And He Began To Say Unto Them, This Day Is This Scripture Fulfilled In Your Ears.

Isaiah 53:4-5 

Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs And Carried Our Sorrows: Yet We Did Esteem Him Stricken, Smitten Of God, And Afflicted. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES: THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM; AND WITH HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED.

1 Peter 2:24

WHO HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BODY ON THE TREE, THAT WE, BEING DEAD TO SINS, SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED.

Isn't This Truly What The World Needs Today? 

2 Timothy 4:1-5 

I Charge Thee Therefore Before God, And The Lord Jesus Christ, Who Shall Judge The Quick And The Dead At His Appearing And His Kingdom; Preach The Word; Be Instant In Season, Out Of Season; Reprove, Rebuke, Exhort With All Longsuffering And Doctrine. For The Time Will Come When They Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine; But After Their Own Lusts Shall They Heap To Themselves Teachers, Having Itching Ears; And They Shall Turn Away Their Ears From The Truth, And Shall Be Turned Unto Fables. But Watch Thou In All Things, Endure Afflictions, Do The Work Of An Evangelist, Make Full Proof Of Thy Ministry.

Our Job As New Testament, Blood Washed, Born Again, Holy Spirit Sealed, New Covenant, Christians, Is To PREACH JESUS!!! 

Hebrews 9:15 

And For This Cause He Is The Mediator Of THE NEW TESTAMENT, That By Means Of Death, For The Redemption Of The Transgressions That Were Under The First Testament, They Which Are Called Might Receive The Promise Of Eternal Inheritance.

And From Jesus Christ, Who Is The Faithful Witness, And The First Begotten Of The Dead, And The Prince Of The Kings Of The Earth. Unto Him, That Loved Us, And WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD,

John 3:3 

Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be BORN AGAIN, He Cannot See The Kingdom Of God.

Ephesians 4:30 

And Grieve Not THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION.

Acts 11:26 

And When He Had Found Him, He Brought Him Unto Antioch. And It Came To Pass, That A Whole Year They Assembled Themselves With The Church, And Taught Much People. And The Disciples Were Called CHRISTIANS First In Antioch.

 Isaiah 53:5 

But He Was Wounded For Our Transgressions, He Was Bruised For Our Iniquities: THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM; And With His Stripes, We Are Healed.

THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM; AND WITH HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED.

1 Peter 2:24 

WHO HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BODY ON THE TREE, THAT WE, BEING DEAD TO SINS, SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED.

1 John 3:5-7 

AND YE KNOW THAT HE WAS MANIFESTED TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS, AND IN HIM IS NO SIN. WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT: WHOSOEVER SINNETH HATH NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWN HIM. LITTLE CHILDREN, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU: HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS.

Romans 5:1 

THEREFORE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST:

Romans 5:9-11 

Much More Then, Being Now Justified By His Blood, We Shall Be Saved From Wrath Through Him. For If, When WE WERE ENEMIES, We Were Reconciled To God By The Death Of His Son, Much More, Being Reconciled, We Shall Be Saved By His Life. And Not Only So, But We Also Joy In God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, By Whom We Have Now Received The Atonement.

John 3:36 

HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE: And He That Believeth Not The Son Shall Not See Life; But The Wrath Of God Abideth On Him.

WHEREOF THE HOLY GHOST ALSO IS A WITNESS TO US.

 WHEREOF THE HOLY GHOST ALSO IS A WITNESS TO US.

Hebrews 10:1-39 

For The Law Having A Shadow Of Good Things To Come, And Not The Very Image Of The Things, Can Never With Those Sacrifices Which They Offered Year By Year Continually Make The Comers Thereunto Perfect. For Then Would They Not Have Ceased To Be Offered? BECAUSE THAT THE WORSHIPPERS ONCE PURGED SHOULD HAVE HAD NO MORE CONSCIENCE OF SINS. But In Those Sacrifices, There Is A Remembrance Again Made Of Sins Every Year. For It Is Not Possible That The Blood Of Bulls And Of Goats Should Take Away Sins. Wherefore When He Cometh Into The World, He Saith, Sacrifice And Offering Thou Wouldest Not, BUT A BODY HAST THOU PREPARED ME: In Burnt Offerings And Sacrifices For Sin Thou Hast Had No Pleasure. Then Said I, Lo, I Come (In The Volume Of The Book It Is Written Of Me,) To Do Thy Will, O God. Above When He Said, Sacrifice And Offering And Burnt Offerings And Offering For Sin Thou Wouldest Not, Neither Hadst Pleasure Therein; Which Are Offered By The Law; Then Said He, Lo, I Come To Do Thy Will, O God. HE TAKETH AWAY THE FIRST, THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND. BY THE WHICH WILL WE ARE SANCTIFIED THROUGH THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST ONCE FOR ALL. And Every Priest Standeth Daily Ministering And Offering Oftentimes The Same Sacrifices, Which Can Never Take Away Sins: But This Man, AFTER HE, HAD OFFERED ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOR EVER, Sat Down On The Right Hand Of God; From Henceforth Expecting Till His Enemies Be Made His Footstool. FOR BY ONE OFFERING HE HATH PERFECTED FOR EVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED. WHEREOF THE HOLY GHOST ALSO IS A WITNESS TO US: For After That He Had Said Before, This Is The Covenant That I Will Make With Them After Those Days, Saith The Lord, I Will Put My Laws Into Their Hearts, And In Their Minds Will I Write Them; And Their Sins And Iniquities Will I Remember No More. NOW WHERE REMISSION OF THESE IS, THERE IS NO MORE OFFERING FOR SIN. HAVING, THEREFORE, BRETHREN, BOLDNESS TO ENTER INTO THE HOLIEST BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS, BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY, WHICH HE HATH CONSECRATED FOR US, Through The Veil, That Is To Say, His Flesh; And Having An High Priest Over The House Of God; 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. LET US HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING; (For He Is Faithful That Promised;) And Let Us Consider One Another To Provoke Unto Love And To Good Works: Not Forsaking The Assembling Of Ourselves Together, As The Manner Of Some Is; But Exhorting One Another: And So Much The More, As Ye See The Day Approaching. For If We Sin Wilfully After That We Have Received The Knowledge Of The Truth, There Remaineth No More Sacrifice For Sins, But A Certain Fearful Looking For Of Judgment And Fiery Indignation, Which Shall Devour The Adversaries. He That Despised Moses' Law Died Without Mercy Under Two Or Three Witnesses: Of How Much Sorer Punishment, Suppose Ye, Shall He Be Thought Worthy, Who Hath Trodden Under Foot The Son Of God, And Hath Counted The Blood Of The Covenant, Wherewith He Was Sanctified, An Unholy Thing, And Hath Done Despite Unto The Spirit Of Grace? For We Know Him That Hath Said, Vengeance Belongeth Unto Me, I Will Recompense, Saith The Lord. And Again, The Lord Shall Judge His People. It Is A Fearful Thing To Fall Into The Hands Of The Living God. But Call To Remembrance The Former Days, In Which, After Ye Were Illuminated, Ye Endured A Great Fight Of Afflictions; Partly, Whilst Ye Were Made A Gazingstock Both By Reproaches And Afflictions; And Partly, Whilst Ye Became Companions Of Them That Were So Used. For Ye Had Compassion Of Me In My Bonds, And Took Joyfully The Spoiling Of Your Goods, Knowing In Yourselves That Ye Have In Heaven A Better And An Enduring Substance. Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence, Which Hath Great Recompence Of Reward. For Ye Have Need Of Patience, That, After Ye Have Done The Will Of God, Ye Might Receive The Promise. For Yet A Little While, And He That Shall Come Will Come, And Will Not Tarry. Now THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH: BUT IF ANY MAN DRAW BACK, MY SOUL SHALL HAVE NO PLEASURE IN HIM. BUT WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION, BUT OF THEM THAT BELIEVE TO THE SAVING OF THE SOUL

People don't understand this part of the Scriptures,

For If We Sin Wilfully After That We Have Received The Knowledge Of The Truth, There Remaineth No More Sacrifice For Sins

Of How Much Sorer Punishment, Suppose Ye, Shall He Be Thought Worthy, Who Hath Trodden Under Foot The Son Of God, And Hath Counted The Blood Of The Covenant, Wherewith He Was Sanctified, An Unholy Thing, And Hath Done Despite Unto The Spirit Of Grace.

What we need to read in these verses is that God thought you worthy to be Saved. Another part of this Scripture is, that you counted the Holy Sacrifice an unholy thing and have trodden under your feet His Blood, that was shed for your sins. 

You Will Have To Stop Believing That Jesus Is The Christ. You will have to deny Him that bought you! But, If you ever do that, you can never be saved, ever again, because JESUS IS THE ONLY ATONEMENT OF SINS. 

When You Are Truly Saved, The Holy Spirit Moves Into Us And Seals Us Until The Day Of Redemption. 

WHEREOF THE HOLY GHOST ALSO IS A WITNESS TO US.

Romans 8:9-10 

BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His. And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; BUT THE SPIRIT IS LIFE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Ephesians 4:30 

AND GRIEVE NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION.

LIVE IN THE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST JESUS AND HIS GRACE!!!

5• Acts 4:12 

Neither Is There SALVATION In Any Other: For There Is None Other Name Under Heaven Given Among Men, Whereby We Must Be Saved.

6• John 1:14 

AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH And Dwelt Among Us, (And We Beheld His Glory, The Glory As Of The Only Begotten Of The Father,) Full Of Grace And Truth.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:57-58

BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THEREFORE, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, BE YE STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE LORD, FORASMUCH AS YE KNOW THAT YOUR LABOUR IS NOT IN VAIN IN THE LORD.

THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!!! 

Romans 5:8-14

But God Commendeth His Love Toward Us, In That, While We Were Yet Sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US. MUCH MORE THEN, BEING NOW JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM. For If, When We Were Enemies, We Were Reconciled To God By The Death Of His Son, MUCH MORE, BEING RECONCILED, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE. And Not Only So, But We Also Joy In God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, BY WHOM WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE ATONEMENT. Wherefore, As By One Man Sin Entered Into The World, And Death By Sin; And So Death Passed Upon All Men, For That, All Have Sinned: 

(For Until The Law Sin Was In The World: But Sin Is Not Imputed When There Is No Law. Nevertheless, Death Reigned From Adam To Moses, Even Over Them That Had Not Sinned After The Similitude Of Adam's Transgression, Who Is The Figure Of Him That Was To Come.

John 3:36 

HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE: And He That Believeth Not The Son Shall Not See Life; But The Wrath Of God Abideth On Him.

Let No Man Deceive You With Vain Words: For Because Of These Things Cometh The Wrath Of God Upon The Children Of Disobedience.

[7] And One Of The Four Beasts Gave Unto The Seven Angels Seven Golden Vials Full Of The Wrath Of God, Who Liveth For Ever And Ever.

The New Testament uses words like, Fruits Of The Spirit, do you know why?

 The New Testament uses words like, Fruits Of The Spirit, do you know why? 

Because in The Old Testament, the first sin was the eating of the fruit forbidden by God, fruit of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil. That fruit brought knowledge of evil and death, but The Fruits Of The Spirit, Brings Forth Knowledge Of Christ Jesus.

Genesis 2:9 

And Out Of The Ground Made The Lord God To Grow Every Tree That Is Pleasant To The Sight, And Good For Food; The Tree Of Life Also In The Midst Of The Garden, And The Tree Of Knowledge Of Good And Evil.

Genesis 3:2-3 

And The Woman Said Unto The Serpent, We May Eat Of The Fruit Of The Trees Of The Garden: [3] But Of The Fruit Of The Tree Which Is In The Midst Of The Garden, God Hath Said, Ye Shall Not Eat Of It, Neither Shall Ye Touch It, Lest Ye Die.

Genesis 3:12 

And The Man Said, The Woman Whom Thou Gavest To Be With Me, She Gave Me Of The Tree, And I Did Eat.

Genesis 2:17 

But Of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil, Thou Shalt Not Eat Of It: For In The Day That Thou Eatest Thereof Thou Shalt Surely Die.

THE FRUITS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOODNESS!!!  

Ephesians 5:9-10 

(FOR THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) PROVING WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE UNTO THE LORD.

Galatians 5:22-25 

BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE: AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW. AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS. IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

2 Peter 1:2-9 

Grace And Peace Be Multiplied Unto You Through The Knowledge Of God, And Of Jesus Our Lord, According As His Divine Power Hath Given Unto Us All Things That Pertain Unto Life And Godliness, Through The Knowledge Of Him That Hath Called Us To Glory And Virtue: Whereby Are Given Unto Us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: That By These Ye Might Be Partakers Of The Divine Nature, Having Escaped The Corruption That Is In The World Through Lust.  And Beside This, Giving All Diligence, Add To Your Faith, Virtue; And To Virtue, Knowledge; And To Knowledge, Temperance; And To Temperance, Patience; And To Patience, Godliness; And To Godliness, Brotherly Kindness; And To Brotherly Kindness, Charity. For If These Things Be In You, And Abound, THEY MAKE YOU THAT YE SHALL NEITHER BE BARREN NOR UNFRUITFUL IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. But He That Lacketh These Things Is Blind, And Cannot See Afar Off, And Hath Forgotten That He Was Purged From His Old Sins.

LIVE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT!!! LIVE IN GRACE!!! LIVE IN THE VICTORY THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU TO HAVE!!! 

LIVE IN THE FRUIT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD JESUS!!!

IS YOUR FRUIT STILL THE FRUIT OF DEATH, OR IS YOUR FRUIT UNTO HOLINESS IN CHRIST JESUS?

 IS YOUR FRUIT STILL THE FRUIT OF DEATH, 

OR IS YOUR FRUIT UNTO HOLINESS IN CHRIST JESUS? 

Genesis 2:16-17 

And The Lord God Commanded The Man, Saying, Of Every Tree Of The Garden Thou Mayest Freely Eat: But Of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil, Thou Shalt Not Eat Of It: For In The Day That Thou Eatest Thereof Thou Shalt Surely Die.

Genesis 3:6 

And When The Woman Saw That The Tree Was Good For Food And That It Was Pleasant To The Eyes, And A Tree To Be Desired To Make One Wise, She Took Of The FRUIT Thereof, And Did Eat, And Gave Also Unto Her Husband With Her; And He Did Eat.

GOD DID NOT GIVE UP ON MAN AFTER ADAM. 

GOD RESTORED a new friendship between man and Himself with Abraham. 

God spoke a Blessing over a man called Abraham.

Genesis 22:17-18 

That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

James 2:23 

And The Scripture Was Fulfilled Which Saith, Abraham Believed God, And It Was Imputed Unto Him For Righteousness: And He Was Called The Friend Of God.

Romans 4:20-25 

He Staggered Not At The Promise Of God Through Unbelief; But Was Strong In Faith, Giving Glory To God;  And Being Fully Persuaded That, What He Had Promised, He Was Able Also To Perform. And Therefore It Was Imputed To Him For Righteousness. Now It Was Not Written For His Sake Alone, That It Was Imputed To Him; But For Us Also, To Whom It Shall Be Imputed If We Believe On Him That Raised Up Jesus Our Lord From The Dead; Who Was Delivered For Our Offences, And Was Raised Again For Our Justification.

THE LAW OF GOD IS GIVEN TO ISRAEL. 

The Law Of God Is a list of  Commandments From God. The Law is Holy, created by A Holy God. Through The Law God tells men how to live.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28 

Behold, I Set Before You This Day A Blessing And A Curse; A Blessing, If Ye Obey The Commandments Of The Lord Your God, Which I Command You This Day: And A Curse, If Ye Will Not Obey The Commandments Of The Lord Your God, But Turn Aside Out Of The Way Which I Command You This Day, To Go After Other Gods, Which Ye Have Not Known.

God gave Moses The Law, written on stones for His chosen nation of Israel to be governed by. as His chosen nation. The Law that was written on the stones is The Ten Commandments that we have today. 

ISRAEL DID NOT KEEP THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS AND THEY DID EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. 

GOD STILL MADE A WAY FOR MAN TO BE RIGHTEOUS. GOD PROVIDED THE PERFECT SACRIFICE FOR MAN TO HAVE AN ETERNAL FRIENDSHIP WITH HIM. JESUS FULFILLED THE WHOLE LAW. GRACE! 

Romans 6:14 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: FOR YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER GRACE.

Romans 3:24 

Being Justified Freely By His GRACE Through The Redemption That Is In Christ Jesus:

2 Corinthians 5:21 

FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM 

Hebrews 10:2b. 

BECAUSE THAT THE WORSHIPPERS ONCE PURGED SHOULD HAVE HAD NO MORE CONSCIENCE OF SINS.

Romans 6:10-11 

FOR IN THAT HE DIED, HE DIED UNTO SIN ONCE: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. LIKEWISE, RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Galatians 3:13 

CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, BEING MADE A CURSE FOR US: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Hangeth On A Tree. 

Galatians 3:12 

AND THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH: BUT, THE MAN THAT DOETH THEM SHALL LIVE IN THEM.

Philippians 3:9 

AND BE FOUND IN HIM, NOT HAVING MINE OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH IS OF THE LAW, BUT THAT WHICH IS THROUGH THE FAITH OF CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF GOD BY FAITH:

Romans 6:22-23 

BUT NOW BEING MADE FREE FROM SIN, AND BECOME SERVANTS TO GOD, YE HAVE YOUR FRUIT UNTO HOLINESS, AND THE END EVERLASTING LIFE. For The Wages Of Sin Is Death, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Grow Up In The Fruit.

Grow Up In The Fruit

2 Peter 1:3-9 

According As His Divine Power Hath Given Unto Us All Things That Pertain Unto Life And Godliness, Through The Knowledge Of Him That Hath Called Us To Glory And Virtue: Whereby Are Given Unto Us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: That By These Ye Might Be Partakers Of The Divine Nature, Having Escaped The Corruption That Is In The World Through Lust.

And Beside This, Giving All Diligence, Add To Your Faith Virtue; And To Virtue, Knowledge; And To Knowledge, Temperance; And To Temperance, Patience; And To Patience, Godliness; And To Godliness, Brotherly Kindness; And To Brotherly Kindness, Charity. For If These Things Be In You, And Abound, They Make You That Ye Shall Neither Be Barren Nor Unfruitful In The Knowledge Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But He That Lacketh These Things Is Blind, And Cannot See Afar Off, And Hath Forgotten That He Was Purged From His Old Sins.

Galatians 5:22-25 

But The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: Against Such, There Is No Law. And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit.

1 Corinthians 3:1 

And I, Brethren, Could Not Speak Unto You As Unto Spiritual, But As Unto Carnal, Even As Unto Babes In Christ.

So many people received Gifts Of The Holy Spirit when they get Saved and immediately start believing they are more Spiritual than others. Speaking in tongues is a Gift, but we are not to use it to show others, we are to use our Spiritual Gifts to help others, to help them grow up in Christ Jesus. The Fruits Of The Spirit are for us to grow up personally, and the Gifts are for us to help others grow in the knowledge of Christ Jesus. Babes in Christ can use their Gifts in ignorance, and use them in error. Babes have milk knowledge and are using their Gifts without growing in the Fruit. Read Your Bible And Grow Up In The Fruit And The Knowledge Of Christ Jesus Then You Can Use Your Spiritual Gift To Edify Others.

BUT YE ARE

 BUT YE ARE

1 Timothy 1:9-10 

KNOWING THIS, THAT THE LAW IS NOT MADE FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN, But For The Lawless And Disobedient, For The Ungodly And For Sinners, For Unholy And Profane, For Murderers Of Fathers And Murderers Of Mothers, For Manslayers, For Whoremongers, For Them That Defile Themselves With Mankind, For Menstealers, For Liars, For Perjured Persons, And If There Be Any Other Thing That Is Contrary To Sound Doctrine;

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 

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, Nor Thieves, Nor Covetous, Nor Drunkards, Nor Revilers, Nor Extortioners, Shall Inherit The Kingdom Of God. 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.

Galatians 3:11-12 

But That No Man Is Justified By The Law In The Sight Of God, It Is Evident: For, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. AND THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH: But, The Man That Doeth Them Shall Live In Them.

Galatians 3:24-26 

Wherefore The Law WAS Our Schoolmaster To Bring Us Unto Christ, That We Might Be Justified By Faith. BUT AFTER THAT FAITH IS COME, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER. For YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.

Romans 6:14 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: FOR YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, But Under Grace.

Romans 3:20 

Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN.

Hebrews 10:2b.

BECAUSE THAT THE WORSHIPPERS ONCE PURGED SHOULD HAVE HAD NO MORE CONSCIENCE OF SINS.

1 John 3:4-9 

WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN TRANSGRESSETH ALSO THE LAW: FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. And Ye Know That He Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sins; AND IN HIM IS NO SIN. WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT: WHOSOEVER SINNETH HATH NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWN HIM. Little Children, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU: HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM: AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD.

Romans 5:12

Wherefore, As By One Man Sin Entered Into The World, And Death By Sin; And So Death Passed Upon All Men, For That All Have Sinned:

Romans 3:19-20 

Now We Know That What Things Soever The Law Saith, It Saith To Them Who Are Under The Law: That Every Mouth May Be Stopped, And All The World May Become Guilty Before God. Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: For By The Law Is The Knowledge Of Sin.

Romans 6:18,20,22 

Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. 

[20] For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness. 

[22] But Now Being Made Free From Sin, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life.

Romans 6:14 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace.

Romans 8:2 

FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.

1 Corinthians 15:56-57

The Sting Of Death Is Sin; And The Strength Of Sin Is The Law. But THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

WHEN GOD WINS THE VICTORY, GOD GETS ALL OF THE GLORY!!!

 IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

For Though We Walk In The Flesh, We Do Not War After The Flesh: (For The Weapons Of Our Warfare Are Not Carnal, BUT MIGHTY THROUGH GOD To The Pulling Down Of Strong Holds;) Casting Down Imaginations, And Every High Thing That Exalteth Itself Against The Knowledge Of God, And Bringing Into Captivity Every Thought To The Obedience Of Christ;

Ephesians 2:4-10 

But God, Who Is Rich In Mercy, For His Great Love Wherewith He Loved Us, Even When We Were Dead In Sins, Hath Quickened Us Together With Christ, (By Grace Ye Are Saved;) And Hath Raised Us Up Together, And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus: That In The Ages To Come He Might Shew The Exceeding Riches Of His Grace In His Kindness Toward Us Through Christ Jesus. For By Grace Are Ye Saved Through Faith; And That Not Of Yourselves: It Is The Gift Of God: Not Of Works, Lest Any Man Should Boast. FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.

Ephesians 6:10-13

FINALLY, MY BRETHREN, BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. Put On The Whole Armour Of God, That Ye May Be Able To Stand Against The Wiles Of The Devil. For We Wrestle Not Against Flesh And Blood, But Against Principalities, Against Powers, Against The Rulers Of The Darkness Of This World, Against Spiritual Wickedness In High Places. 

Wherefore Take Unto You The Whole Armour Of God, That Ye May Be Able To Withstand In The Evil Day, And Having Done All, To Stand.

THE WHOLE ARMOR IN EPHESIANS 6:14-17 IS JESUS!!!

Our Faith In Jesus Christ Is Knowing That He Overcame Every Evil Spirit That Will Ever Come Against Us. We Have The Victory In Him!

Don't think that you have to war on your own, God Is The Power In Us And Over All! Trust in God to be your strength. His Holy Spirit is within us working His Work, He Will Lead Us Into All Truth. 

The Holy Spirit will lead us in the path of Righteousness, For His Names Sake.

PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE OF FAITH AND LOVE; AND FOR AN HELMET, THE HOPE OF SALVATION.

PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE OF FAITH AND LOVE; AND FOR AN HELMET, THE HOPE OF SALVATION.

1 Thessalonians 5:5-10 

Ye Are All The Children Of Light, And The Children Of The Day: We Are Not Of The Night, Nor Of Darkness. Therefore Let Us Not Sleep, As Do Others; But Let Us Watch And Be Sober. For They That Sleep Sleep In The Night; And They That Be Drunken Are Drunken In The Night. But Let Us, Who Are Of The Day, Be Sober, Putting On The Breastplate Of Faith And Love; And For An Helmet, The Hope Of Salvation. For God Hath Not Appointed Us To Wrath, But To Obtain Salvation By Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Died For Us, That, Whether We Wake Or Sleep, We Should Live Together With Him.

1 Corinthians 15:34 

Awake To Righteousness, And Sin Not; For Some Have Not The Knowledge Of God: I Speak This To Your Shame.

Some Christian people live their Spiritual Life in a sleepy haze. Christian people are still in the mindset of repentance. They keep laying the foundation of repentance from dead works. They never wake up to Righteousness. They are still of the mind that they are still the old wretched fleshly sinful carnal man. They have never been set free of the captivity in their minds that Christ Jesus died for them to have. Christ Jesus came to set captives free. What is that captivity? SIN! SIN had us bound because of our flesh. But at Salvation, our flesh is crucified with Christ Jesus. The Law is the strength of sin. By The Law is the knowledge of sin. Where there is no Law there is no sin. Those that have crucified their flesh with Christ Jesus, are dead to their flesh. At Salvation, Christians are no longer under The Law, because Under The Blood Means, Under Grace. Grace through Faith, not The Law Of Works. The Law is not of Faith. We were of the flesh and under The Law, but when we died, we became  Righteous. When we died to our sinful flesh, The Righteousness Of Christ Jesus was imputed unto us. If you think that you are still sinful and fleshly, then you need to check to see if you are in the Faith or not. It is time for Christians to Wake Up To Righteousness and know who we are in Christ Jesus! If you are still believing the old self is still who you are, then what exactly did Christ Jesus do for you? If you are still bound by sin and flesh, how will you tell the lost people that Jesus can set them free of their sins? If you are still flesh, how are you Spirit? By saying that you are still the same old man as you were before Salvation, how did Jesus change you? If you say that you are still the sinner man, where is the new man? When you say those things, you are claiming defeat. Where is your victory in the blood of Christ Jesus? When you say that you are still a sinner, you are saying, The Blood Of Jesus is not enough to cleanse, cover, and keep you. Think before you speak. Read Your Bible To Know Who And What Jesus And His Perfect Sacrifice Are All About. Jesus Did Not Go Through All That He Did And Go Through All That He Did To Leave You Like You Were Before Salvation. The devil has some people believing that they are just barely saved, but in Christ Jesus, You Have Been Born Again!!! You Are A New Creation In Christ Jesus!!! You Are Now A Child Of God!!! You Now Have Eternal Life, Because Of His Death!!! You Now Have An Eternal Home In Heaven, With God!!! GLORY TO HIS NAME!!!

THAT BEING DEAD WHEREIN WE WERE HELD

 THAT BEING DEAD WHEREIN WE WERE HELD

ROMANS 8:2 

FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.

1 Corinthians 15:55-56 

O Death, Where Is Thy Sting? O Grave, Where Is Thy Victory? The Sting Of Death Is Sin; And THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW.

Romans 6:7 

FOR HE THAT IS DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN.

Romans 6:18,20,22-23 

BEING THEN MADE FREE FROM SIN, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. 

[20] FOR WHEN YE WERE THE SERVANTS OF SIN, Ye Were Free From Righteousness. 

[22] BUT NOW BEING MADE FREE FROM SIN, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life. FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Galatians 2:19-21 

For I Through The Law Am Dead To The Law, That I Might Live Unto God. I Am Crucified With Christ: Nevertheless I Live; Yet Not I, But Christ Liveth In Me: And The Life Which I Now Live In The Flesh I Live By The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who Loved Me, And Gave Himself For Me. I DO NOT FRUSTRATE THE GRACE OF GOD: FOR IF RIGHTEOUSNESS COME BY THE LAW, THEN CHRIST IS DEAD IN VAIN.

GALATIANS 5:24 

AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS.

Romans 7:4-6

Wherefore, My Brethren, YE ALSO ARE BECOME DEAD TO THE LAW BY THE BODY OF CHRIST; That Ye Should Be Married To Another, Even To Him Who Is Raised From The Dead, That We Should Bring Forth Fruit Unto God. For WHEN WE WERE IN THE FLESH, THE MOTIONS OF SINS, WHICH WERE BY THE LAW, DID WORK IN OUR MEMBERS TO BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO DEATH. BUT NOW WE ARE DELIVERED FROM THE LAW, THAT BEING DEAD WHEREIN WE WERE HELD; That We Should Serve In Newness Of Spirit, And NOT IN THE OLDNESS OF THE LETTER.

Romans 6:14,17 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: FOR YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, But Under Grace. 

[17] BUT GOD BE THANKED, THAT YE WERE THE SERVANTS OF SIN, But Ye Have Obeyed From The Heart That Form Of Doctrine Which Was Delivered You.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:57 BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

THERE ARE TWO CHOICES, THE LAW OR GRACE.IT IS EITHER, OR, YOU CAN NOT CHOOSE BOTH.

THERE ARE TWO CHOICES, THE LAW OR GRACE.

IT IS EITHER, OR, YOU CAN NOT CHOOSE BOTH.

We either trust in The Law as our way to God, or we trust in Jesus Christ. We have to understand that we can not use both, we will choose one or the other. Before we choose The Law, we need to understand that God requires not only The Law itself to be fulfilled but also, The Righteousness Of The Law must be fulfilled. RIGHTEOUSNESS is the only requisite for man to have a relationship with God. God Is RIGHTEOUS. Our being Righteous is the only way for us to be able to come before Him with our petitions. For us to ascertain Righteousness ourselves we have to keep the Whole Law with absolute perfection. Those of us who desire to be under The Law are putting our trust in the sin offering that we can offer to fulfill The Righteousness of The Law. Those of us that desire to be under The Law are not realizing that we will be responsible for every sin that has not been atoned for by the appropriate blood sacrifice. To be under The Law is to be under the requirements to fulfill the atonement of The Law. When you try to live under The Law you are saying that you do not need the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. When we desire to be under The Law, we miss the need and the whole point of the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. God knew that we could never reach the Righteousness that He requires, so He sent Jesus to fulfill His requirements, for us. Are you sure that you want to be the one responsible for making your eternity secure? The Law Is Holy, Just, And Good, do you think that you can live under such pressure for the rest of your life? I would never want to be in charge of my eternal life because I know me, no one knows me as I do. I would never make it past The First Commandment of Deuteronomy 5:7 

Thou Shalt Have None Other Gods Before Me. 

Do you want to be under the curse when you break one of The Commandments Of God? Do you want to be a Jew? Do you want to eat kosher? Do you want to have a temple instead of, Being  The Temple? Do you want to have someone else beseech God for you? Do you want to have a veil between you and God? Did you know that the veil was torn when Jesus was Sacrificed? Why would want to put it back up?  

(Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, Behold, The Veil Of The Temple Was Rent In Twain From The Top To The Bottom; And The Earth Did Quake, And The Rocks Rent; Matthew 27:50-51)

I just have to ask why? Why would anyone ever want to do that? Jesus died so we could be at Peace with God and become His children, do you really want something else? Do you want The Law of sin and death or Grace, With Peace And Eternal Life? If you want to be the old wretched sinner fleshly man, go ahead, but I would rather be the new creature in Christ Jesus! I Would Rather Be Born Again Of The Holy Spirit. I Would Rather Live In Freedom. You can go ahead and live under The Law if you want to, BUT PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, I LIVE UNDER GRACE!!! 

ROMANS 6:14 

FOR SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: FOR YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE.

GLORY TO GOD!!!

JESUS IS BETTER!!!

 JESUS IS BETTER!!!

Hebrews 7:19 

For The Law Made Nothing Perfect, But The Bringing In Of A BETTER HOPE DID; By The Which We Draw Nigh Unto God.

Romans 3:20 

Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: For By The Law Is The Knowledge Of Sin.

Galatians 2:16 

Knowing That A Man Is Not Justified By The Works Of The Law, BUT BY THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, EVEN WE HAVE BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST, THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH OF CHRIST, And Not By The Works Of The Law: For By The Works Of The Law Shall No Flesh Be Justified.

2 Corinthians 3:14 

But Their Minds Were Blinded: For Until This Day Remaineth The Same Vail Untaken Away In The Reading Of THE OLD TESTAMENT; Which Vail Is Done Away In Christ.

Hebrews 9:15 

And For This Cause He Is The Mediator Of THE NEW TESTAMENT, That By Means Of Death, For The Redemption Of The Transgressions That Were Under THE FIRST TESTAMENT, They Which Are Called Might Receive THE PROMISE OF ETERNAL INHERITANCE.

2 Corinthians 3:6-8 

Who Also Hath Made Us Able Ministers Of THE NEW TESTAMENT; Not Of The Letter, BUT OF THE SPIRIT: For The Letter Killeth, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVETH LIFE. But If The Ministration Of Death, Written And Engraven In Stones, Was Glorious, So That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Behold The Face Of Moses For The Glory Of His Countenance; Which Glory Was To Be Done Away: How Shall Not The Ministration Of The Spirit Be Rather Glorious?

Hebrews 7:22

By So Much Was Jesus Made A Surety Of A BETTER TESTAMENT

Romans 3:24-28 

Being Justified Freely By His Grace Through The Redemption That Is In Christ Jesus: Whom God Hath Set Forth To Be A Propitiation Through Faith In His Blood, To Declare His Righteousness For The Remission Of Sins That Are Past, Through The Forbearance Of God; To Declare, I Say, At This Time His Righteousness: That He Might Be Just, And The Justifier Of Him Which Believeth In Jesus. Where Is Boasting Then? It Is Excluded. By What Law? Of Works? Nay: BUT BY THE LAW OF FAITH. THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW.

Galatians 3:10-13 

For As Many As Are Of The Works Of The Law Are Under The Curse: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Continueth Not In All Things Which Are Written In The Book Of The Law To Do Them. But That No Man Is Justified By The Law In The Sight Of God, It Is Evident: For, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. And The Law Is Not Of Faith: But, The Man That Doeth Them Shall Live In Them. CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, BEING MADE A CURSE FOR US: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, CURSED IS EVERY ONE THAT HANGETH ON A TREE:

Hebrews 8:13 

In That He Saith, A New Covenant, He Hath Made The First Old. Now That Which Decayeth And Waxeth Old Is Ready To Vanish Away.

Romans 6:14 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, BUT UNDER GRACE.

THERE ARE TWO ADAMS, TWO COVENANTS, TWO TESTAMENTS, TWO OFFERINGS OF BLOOD, THERE IS DEATH AND THERE IS LIFE. THERE IS LAW OR GRACE.

JESUS IS BETTER THE BETTER HOPE!!! ETERNAL LIFE IS BETTER!!! THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS IS BETTER!!! GRACE IS BETTER!!! JESUS IS THE NEW!!!

ALL MEMBERS HAVE NOT THE SAME OFFICE

 FOR AS WE HAVE MANY MEMBERS IN ONE BODY, AND ALL MEMBERS HAVE NOT THE SAME OFFICE.

Romans 12:3-9 

For I Say, THROUGH THE GRACE GIVEN UNTO ME, To Every Man That Is Among You, Not To Think Of Himself More Highly Than He Ought To Think; But To Think Soberly, ACCORDING AS GOD HATH DEALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH. For As We Have Many Members In One Body, And ALL MEMBERS HAVE NOT THE SAME OFFICE: So We, Being Many, Are One Body In Christ, And EVERY ONE MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER. HAVING THEN GIFTS DIFFERING ACCORDING TO THE GRACE THAT IS GIVEN TO US, Whether Prophecy, LET US PROPHESY ACCORDING TO THE PROPORTION OF FAITH;  Or Ministry, Let Us Wait On Our Ministering: Or He That Teacheth, On Teaching; Or He That Exhorteth, On Exhortation: He That Giveth, Let Him Do It With Simplicity; He That Ruleth, With Diligence; He That Sheweth Mercy, With Cheerfulness. Let Love Be Without Dissimulation. Abhor That Which Is Evil; Cleave To That Which Is Good.

Ephesians 4:7-8,11-16 

BUT UNTO EVERY ONE OF US IS GIVEN GRACE ACCORDING TO THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST. Wherefore He Saith, When He Ascended Up On High, He Led Captivity Captive, And Gave Gifts Unto Men. 

[11] AND HE GAVE SOME, Apostles; And Some, Prophets; And Some, Evangelists; And Some, Pastors And Teachers; FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, FOR THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST: TILL WE ALL COME IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH, AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, UNTO A PERFECT MAN, UNTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULNESS OF CHRIST: That We Henceforth Be No More Children, Tossed To And Fro, And Carried About With Every Wind Of Doctrine, By The Sleight Of Men, And Cunning Craftiness, Whereby They Lie In Wait To Deceive; But Speaking The Truth In Love, May Grow Up Into Him In All Things, Which Is The Head, Even Christ: From Whom The Whole Body Fitly Joined Together And Compacted By That Which Every Joint Supplieth, ACCORDING TO THE EFFECTUAL WORKING IN THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART, MAKETH INCREASE OF THE BODY UNTO THE EDIFYING OF ITSELF IN LOVE.

We all have a job in particular, but we all work together to fulfill The One Work Of God. We work our ministries within THE PROPORTION OF FAITH THAT IS GIVEN. Everything we do is to be done for The Honor And Glory Of God. Grace and Faith are given to us by God, so we shouldn't think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think. We all have a measure of Faith. We do not all have the same measure, but we all have the amount that God has given to us in particular to fulfill His Purpose. Our Measure Is Given To Us, To Help Others Grow In The Body Of Christ Jesus. Our Measure Is Given To Perfect THE LOVE, In The Body Of Christ Jesus. Faith And Grace, Are Not Of Ourselves They Are A Gift From God To Grow In The Knowledge Of Christ Jesus And In Godly Love.

Hebrews 13:20-21 

Now The God Of Peace, That Brought Again From The Dead Our Lord Jesus, That Great Shepherd Of The Sheep, Through The Blood Of The Everlasting Covenant, Make You Perfect In Every Good Work To Do His Will, Working In You That Which Is Wellpleasing In His Sight, Through Jesus Christ; To Whom Be Glory For Ever And Ever. Amen.
