YOU ARE CHILDREN OF LIGHT

Ephesians 5:8

For Ye Were Sometimes Darkness, But Now ARE YE LIGHT IN THE LORD: Walk As Children Of Light:

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 John 4:4

YE ARE OF GOD, Little Children, And Have Overcome Them: Because Greater Is He That Is In You, Than He That Is In The World.

1 John 3:2-9

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.

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:

1 Peter 1:18-19

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; But With The Precious Blood Of Christ, As Of A Lamb Without Blemish And Without Spot:

John 6:47

VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME HATH EVERLASTING LIFE.

WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD

Exodus 12:13

And The Blood Shall Be To You For A Token Upon The Houses Where Ye Are: And When I See The Blood, I Will Pass Over You, And The Plague Shall Not Be Upon You To Destroy You, When I Smite The Land Of Egypt.

Exodus 12:21-24

Then Moses Called For All The Elders Of Israel, And Said Unto Them, Draw Out And Take You A Lamb According To Your Families, And Kill The Passover. And Ye Shall Take A Bunch Of Hyssop, And Dip It In The Blood That Is In The Bason, And Strike The Lintel And The Two Side Posts With The Blood That Is In The Bason; And None Of You Shall Go Out At The Door Of His House Until The Morning. For The Lord Will Pass Through To Smite The Egyptians; And When He Seeth The Blood Upon The Lintel, And On The Two Side Posts, The Lord Will Pass Over The Door, And Will Not Suffer The Destroyer To Come In Unto Your Houses To Smite You. And Ye Shall Observe This Thing For An Ordinance To Thee And To Thy Sons For Ever.

Revelation 6:17

For The Great Day Of His Wrath Is Come; And Who Shall Be Able To Stand?

Revelation 20:15

And Whosoever Was Not Found Written In The Book Of Life Was Cast Into The Lake Of Fire.

Hebrews 3:5-6

And Moses Verily Was Faithful In All His House, As A Servant, For A Testimony Of Those Things Which Were To Be Spoken After; BUT CHRIST AS A SON OVER HIS OWN HOUSE; WHOSE HOUSE ARE WE, IF WE HOLD FAST THE CONFIDENCE AND THE REJOICING OF THE HOPE FIRM UNTO THE END.

1 Corinthians 5:7

Purge Out Therefore The Old Leaven, That Ye May Be A New Lump, As Ye Are Unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US:

1 THESSALONIANS 5:9

FOR GOD HATH NOT APPOINTED US TO WRATH, BUT TO OBTAIN SALVATION BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,

ROMANS 5:9

MUCH MORE THEN, BEING NOW JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM.

EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US.

I IN THEM, AND THOU IN ME

John 17:23

I IN THEM, AND THOU IN ME, THAT THEY MAY BE MADE PERFECT IN ONE; AND THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT THOU HAST SENT ME, AND HAST LOVED THEM, AS THOU HAST LOVED ME.

1 Corinthians 6:8-20

Nay, Ye Do Wrong, And Defraud, And That Your Brethren. 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. All Things Are Lawful Unto Me, But All Things Are Not Expedient: All Things Are Lawful For Me, But I Will Not Be Brought Under The Power Of Any. Meats For The Belly, And The Belly For Meats: But God Shall Destroy Both It And Them. Now The Body Is Not For Fornication, But For The Lord; And The Lord For The Body. And God Hath Both Raised Up The Lord, And Will Also Raise Up Us By His Own Power. Know Ye Not That Your Bodies Are The Members Of Christ? Shall I Then Take The Members Of Christ, And Make Them The Members Of An Harlot? God Forbid. What? Know Ye Not That He Which Is Joined To An Harlot Is One Body? For Two, Saith He, Shall Be One Flesh. But He That Is Joined Unto The Lord Is One Spirit. Flee Fornication. Every Sin That A Man Doeth Is Without The Body; But He That Committeth Fornication Sinneth Against His Own Body. What? KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE OF GOD, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN? FOR YE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE: THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY, AND IN YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD'S.

Ephesians 2:17-22

And Came And Preached Peace To You Which Were Afar Off, And To Them That Were Nigh. FOR THROUGH HIM WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS BY ONE SPIRIT UNTO THE FATHER. Now Therefore Ye Are No More Strangers And Foreigners, But Fellowcitizens With The Saints, And Of The Household Of God; And Are Built Upon The Foundation Of The Apostles And Prophets,

JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF CORNER STONE; IN WHOM ALL THE BUILDING FITLY FRAMED TOGETHER GROWETH UNTO AN HOLY TEMPLE IN THE LORD: IN WHOM YE ALSO ARE BUILDED TOGETHER FOR AN HABITATION OF GOD THROUGH THE SPIRIT.

John 17:21

THAT THEY ALL MAY BE ONE; AS THOU, FATHER, ART IN ME, AND I IN THEE, THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US: THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE THAT THOU HAST SENT ME.

WE ARE BUILDED TOGETHER TO BE AN HABITATION OF GOD THROUGH THE SPIRIT,

SO THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE THAT GOD

HAS SENT JESUS. WE ARE TO LET THE WORLD SEE THE IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH US, NOT MIRROR IMAGES OF THEMSELVES. IF WE ARE STILL LIVING LIKE THEM WHAT DIFFERENCE DID JESUS CHRIST MAKE IN US? HOW CAN THE WORLD SEE THE HOLY BUILDING, IF IT IS BUILT BY THE WORLD'S BLUEPRINT? WE ARE WASHED, BUT YE ARE SANCTIFIED, BUT WE ARE JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, AND BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD, LET US ALL LIVE LIKE IT!

SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT, KNOW THE TRUTH

I have not quite pinpointed the spiritual moving of late. I do know what God has satan has a counterfeit. 2 Corinthians 11:14

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

But what is bothering me is it is moving everywhere very strongly. I see kids and a lot of tv shows all being moved to talk about The Lord.

But some of the shows I see truly bother me. Spiritualism is everywhere and in every culture. But today religious practices are being overlapped with each other. I see Asian, Native Indian beliefs, and Catholicism all mixed in with Christianity. This bothers me because I know the One True God and The Faith He requires you to have in Christ Jesus. We see false practices on tv and think that that is the way to God. DO NOT BE RECEIVED! There is a spiritual movement like never before and not all is The Holy Spirit.

If you want to be of the Hindu religion, then be Hindu. But if you are a Christian then be a Christian. Don't let these false spirits with their practices infiltrate your Faith. Christians do not need to burn sage or any other herb to be cleansed of evil spirits or of our sins, Jesus Christ took care of you at Salvation. His Holy Spirit moved into you and moved the demons out. The demonic spirits are outside of you tempting you, but they are not in you. I know these things sound trivial but think about it, would you want to have your children practicing witchcraft? Then why would you support books and movies on the subject? Would you want your daughter practicing the things in the movies like fifty shades of grey? Why would you have the video or books laying around for them to see? Remember everything in your house and your life is what you condone. Your witness is what everyone sees, should not it be a good witness? Honor and Glorify God not only in your words but also in your deeds. Read Your Bible To Know What Is Of God And What Is Not. No one has gotten to the point to point fingers, but what we know to do we should.

Revelation 3:15-16

I Know Thy Works, That Thou Art Neither Cold Nor Hot: I Would Thou Wert Cold Or Hot. So Then Because Thou Art Lukewarm, And Neither Cold Nor Hot, I Will Spue Thee Out Of My Mouth.

PRAY, BECAUSE SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN FULL FORCE.

HOLY

Life is too short to waste time sugarcoating The Word Of God. We all seem to be afraid of hurting someone's feelings or making them mad. As I said Life is short and death is certain. I do not know what is truly going on in the world right now, but I do Pray it is a true revival of the dead coming alive in Christ Jesus. I know there are a lot of demonic spirits at work too. I hear so-called Christians telling the world that God is inclusive and loves us. Now if that is all they mean that statement is very true, but if they are insinuating that God does not want you to be changed after Salvation then that statement is a lie straight from satan. God forgives our sins at Salvation, but He also puts HIS HOLY SPIRIT inside of us starting us all over giving us HIS MIND, HIS HEART, AND HIS ACTIONS. God gives us the ability to read and understand HIS HOLY WORD. You can read and understand a newspaper, but reading The Bible is something you can not understand unless you have The Holy Spirit reading it to you. The Bible is Spiritually discerned.

1 Corinthians 2:12-14

Now We Have Received, Not The Spirit Of The World, But The Spirit Which Is Of God; That We Might Know The Things That Are Freely Given To Us Of God. Which Things Also We Speak, Not In The Words Which Man's Wisdom Teacheth, But Which The Holy Ghost Teacheth; Comparing Spiritual Things With Spiritual. But The Natural Man Receiveth Not The Things Of The Spirit Of God: For They Are Foolishness Unto Him: Neither Can He Know Them, Because They Are Spiritually Discerned.

If you believe what so-called Christians are telling you and it is against The Word Of God then you are being deceived by an evil spirit. If you believe the same way you did before Salvation, then you are not being transformed into The Image of Christ Jesus by The Power Of The Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:29

FOR WHOM HE DID FOREKNOW, HE ALSO DID PREDESTINATE TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, THAT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BRETHREN.

JESUS KEPT ALL OF THE COMMANDS OF HIS FATHER. JESUS KEPT ALL OF THE RULES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, JESUS DID NOT CHANGE THE RULES TO FIT HIM, HE CONFFORMED TO THEM.

JESUS IS HOLY JUST AND GOOD. HIS HOLY SPIRIT CHANGES YOU INTO HIS LIKENESS. THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT LEAVE YOU LIKE YOU WERE BEFORE SALVATION.

EVERYTHING SHOULD BE CHANGING IN YOU. YOU ARE NEW, ALL OF THE OLD IS GONE.

2 Corinthians 5:17

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

You are forgiven of your sins at Salvation, but your sins are still sins if you continue to commit them without a heart and mind change about what you are doing. After Salvation, you have a completely different view of everything, you start seeing things through The Eyes Of The Holy Spirit.

Through the guidance and leadership of The Holy Spirit, you are changed inside which changes your thoughts and actions.

1 Peter 1:13-16

WHEREFORE GIRD UP THE LOINS OF YOUR MIND, BE SOBER, AND HOPE TO THE END FOR THE GRACE THAT IS TO BE BROUGHT UNTO YOU AT THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST; AS OBEDIENT CHILDREN, NOT FASHIONING YOURSELVES ACCORDING TO THE FORMER LUSTS IN YOUR IGNORANCE: BUT AS HE WHICH HATH CALLED YOU IS HOLY, SO BE YE HOLY IN ALL MANNER OF CONVERSATION; BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN, BE YE HOLY; FOR I AM HOLY.

HOLY IS THE KEYWORD, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LAMB OF GOD!

BOUNDARIES FOR OUR GOOD

There are boundaries for everything God Created. The Heavens, Earth, rivers, sky, and men all have BOUNDARIES FOR OUR GOOD. If the sun gets too close to earth we will burn up. The tides are in concordance with the moon. Everything works hand in hand with each other.

The Church, men, women, and children all have an order to them. Just because we become Saved does not mean the order is voided.

The Church will always have an order, Christ will always be The Head Of The Church. Just as the husband will be the head of the wife. The children are to be in submission to their parents as long as they live under their roofs.

Yes, we all individually need Salvation for each of our souls, but the order will never change. Every Man, Woman, Boy, And Girl Needs Jesus Christ To Save Their Souls.

People will take these Scriptures out of context and try to change the order that God set.

Galatians 3:27-28

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.

Joel 2:28a.

And It Shall Come To Pass Afterward, That I Will Pour Out My Spirit Upon All Flesh; And Your Sons And Your Daughters Shall Prophesy,

Acts 2:17a.

And It Shall Come To Pass In The Last Days, Saith God, I Will Pour Out Of My Spirit Upon All Flesh: And Your Sons And Your Daughters Shall Prophesy,

Yes, women will receive the Holy Spirit at Salvation, and yes, we receive Spiritual Gifts, but they are to be used correctly.

Prophets and Pastors are different from each other.

Ephesians 4:11-12

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:

Apostles are those who are sent out,

Pastors stay in. A Pastor is a minister in charge of a Christian church or congregation. Women can go out and Prophecy, but not teach or usurp authority over a man. This is why my ministry is for women, I teach women Only. I do not accept friend requests from men on Facebook, because I teach The Scriptures.

Unmarried women have the same Spiritual Gifts as the married, but the order in The Church is still the same. Single women are to run their lives and homes that will Honor God, no doubt, but in The Assembly they are to be in submission to the Pastor. Married women are always in submission to their husbands everywhere and in everything,

BUT ALL WOMEN ARE ALWAYS UNDER THE SCRIPTURE ALL OF THE TIME.

The Bible says in The New Testament how The Church and family are to be.

Ephesians 5:23

For The Husband Is The Head Of The Wife, Even As Christ Is The Head Of The Church: And He Is The Saviour Of The Body.

1 Timothy 2:11-13

Let The Woman Learn In Silence With All Subjection. But I Suffer Not A Woman To Teach, Nor To Usurp Authority Over The Man, But To Be In Silence. For Adam Was First Formed, Then Eve.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Let Your Women Keep Silence In The Churches: For It Is Not Permitted Unto Them To Speak; But They Are Commanded To Be Under Obedience, As Also Saith The Law. And If They Will Learn Any Thing, Let Them Ask Their Husbands At Home: For It Is A Shame For Women To Speak In The Church.

Ephesians 5:24

THEREFORE AS THE CHURCH IS SUBJECT UNTO CHRIST, SO LET THE WIVES BE TO THEIR OWN HUSBANDS IN EVERY THING.

Women are to be entwined with their own husbands, one mind, one body, ONE BEING.

The more Spiritually mature women are to teach other women. These are key Scriptures for women.

Titus 2:3-5

The Aged Women Likewise, That They Be In Behaviour As Becometh Holiness, Not False Accusers, Not Given To Much Wine, Teachers Of Good Things; That They May Teach The Young Women To Be Sober, To Love Their Husbands, To Love Their Children, To Be Discreet, Chaste, Keepers At Home, Good, Obedient To Their Own Husbands, That The Word Of God Be Not Blasphemed.

Women are more emotional, and most men are logical. Women make decisions with their emotions, men think things through. That does not mean that men are smarter, they are just slower to act. Women are apt to make snap decisions, you mess with family or friends, women are ready to go, but most men have to ask questions and know all of the details before they act. There is a reason for everything. Eve was deceived, the serpent came to the woman and talked to her. Women see and feel differently from men. Most women talk more and are more open-minded, so we are more likely to errors.

Genesis 3:1,6

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? [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.

Remember what the Scripture says,

But I Suffer Not A Woman To TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN.

Women have a place, but their place will never be over a man.

TEACH: show or explain to (someone) how to do something.

USURP: To seize and hold the power or rights of another.

Women were created to help men, not guide them.

Genesis 2:18

And The Lord God Said, It Is Not Good That The Man Should Be Alone; I Will Make Him An Help Meet For Him.

WOMEN DO HAVE A PLACE AND A JOB IN CHRISTIANITY, BUT SO DO THE MEN. WOMEN DO YOUR JOB AND LET THE MEN DO THEIRS.

JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD WRAPPED IN FLESH

So many people think that they know what you are about to say and they stop listening to what you are actually saying.

When people hear me say that we are not under THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE, they think I believe that I can do what I want to such as steal, commit adultery, or lie and God will be okay with me doing it. Now to me, this just sounds plain foolish, but they do think that. They take what they hear and blow it way out of context. It sounds foolish to think a Christian would still want to do these things.

When I teach about The Law, first of all, I say, The

Law Is From God, Who Is Holy, So That Makes Everything Of Him Holy.

Romans 7:12

Wherefore The Law Is Holy, And The Commandment Holy, And Just, And Good.

The Law is impossible for a sinful man to keep,

Because Of The Flesh.

Romans 8:3

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:

There Is Where Jesus Christ Comes In. We Could Not Keep The Law So God Sent His Son In The Flesh To Live The Law, For Us. Instead of trying to keep The Law myself, I trust that Jesus Christ did it for me. He Is The Only One Born Of A Woman That Can. HE CAN BECAUSE HE IS ALSO BORN OF GOD, BECAUSE HE IS OF GOD, AND BECAUSE HE IS GOD. If Jesus were just born of Mary and another human man, Jesus would not have been Born Of Holy Blood. JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD WRAPPED IN FLESH. The Law must be kept, by your works, or by Faith in Christ Jesus, and His Finished Work.

I will tell you right now that you will never be able to keep The Law Perfectly, Faith Is The Only Sure Way To Be Saved from The Wrath Of God. I will also tell you The Law is something The Holy Spirit keeps in your heart through Faith In Christ Jesus And His Sacrifice. What I mean is, when you understand just a small amount of what Jesus Christ went through to Sacrifice Himself for your sins, you will also understand the last thing on your mind is to commit something He died to save you from. Jesus Christ Was Tortured, He Bled, He Died, And He Went Into Hell, for our lying, our adulteries, and our thieving. Why would we want to keep on doing these things after knowing this about our Lord? Because I believe Jesus kept The Law Perfectly for me does not mean I am desiring to continue living in the sinful flesh. I died to my flesh when I believed Jesus Christ died for me.

Galatians 2:20-21

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.

TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE {Part 2}

TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE

{Part 2}

This is a continuation of my study on 2/23/2023

Now as I stated in my study on the 23rd, when I was first Saved I was so completely joyous and happy.

But the more I went to Church the more guilty I would feel. I knew absolutely nothing about Christianity Of The Bible. I just watched people and I tried to copy them. But when I was at home things were so different. I would lose my temper and out would come the vilest of words. I could not understand how I could be Saved if I was so mad and cussing. So I tried my best to stop, but that just made it worse. Someone told me that a lady went down to the altar and left her anger, so I tried that, to no avail. I was NOTHING like those people in Church. This would keep on until I would go back down to the preacher to be Saved all over again, I did this two more times.

I have been Baptized three times.

But still, all I carried with me was guilt.

What changed? I am glad you asked.

I had a sister in law that had a Bible Trivia game, yes a game. It had easy questions for the beginner to harder questions for the more mature. As I said I knew nothing about The Bible. She would ask me the so-called easy question and I would get upset because I did not know the answer. She told me not to be upset, and that everyone has to start somewhere. So when she asked the question, we would read the story in The Bible. She also knew of a Bible study group and I started to go.

I started a Bible study. I did not know that you are actually supposed to read your Bible for yourself. I had been in Church for years by now and I was just starting to learn.

So if anyone of you remembers I have a bad back, which means that I am home a lot. I had nothing but time, so I started to read my Bible, a lot. As I grew in knowledge, I grew in Grace. What I mean is The knowledge of The Grace Of Jesus, As My Christ.

I read The Old Testament a lot and I would get so bogged down in guilt because I could never measure up. I Started To Pray" Lord Please Open The Word That You Want For Me To Read Today". The New Testament would fall open. I left it up to The Holy Spirit to show me where I needed to be reading. I found myself doing this more and more often. I started reading Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, then I moved into Romans and Hebrews. I always tried to read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John over and over so I could know Jesus. But now the other Epistles were where I was being led to read. So I did.

That is where I began to understand Grace.

I had already read about Jesus and His Sacrifice several times, but I did not understand why and how it helped me today. I knew I was going to Heaven when I died, but what about now, today? That is where the other Epistles I mentioned come in.

One of the questions I asked was,

Could Jesus Christ Save A Sinner Like Me?

I found this Scripture in, Romans 5:6-8

For When We Were Yet Without Strength, In Due Time Christ Died For The Ungodly. For Scarcely For A Righteous Man Will One Die: Yet Peradventure For A Good Man Some Would Even Dare To Die. BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.

One of my questions was,

Could Jesus Christ Keep Me Saved Or Did I Have To Do That Myself,

I found the Words that Jesus said in John 10:27-30

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.

So after that question was fully answered I went on to why I could not quit sinning, maybe I was not repenting right. Because I felt so much guilt all of the time.

This is where I found the Scriptures,

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. MAN, you talk about an eye-opening Scripture, this was it. This Scripture says EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIETH HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE,

WHOSOEVER SINNETH HATH NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWN HIM,

LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU: HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS,

WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT,

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,

FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.

What these Scriptures are saying is,

If Your Hope Is In Jesus Christ The You At Pure, EVEN AS HE IS PURE.

If Your Hope Is In Jesus Christ then You Are Righteous, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS.

If Your Hope Is In Christ Jesus Then You Do Not COMMIT SIN.

If Your Hope Is In Christ Jesus Then You, CAN NOT SIN, BECAUSE HIS SEED REMAINS IN YOU.

AND HIS SEED IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.

So I asked myself, Is My Hope In Christ Jesus? YES!

My anger has been taken away, and so have my guilty feelings, I HAVE BEEN TRULY SET FREE! I am TEMPTED, BUT I SING A SONG OF PRAISE OUT LOUD AND the devil flees and tries something else later.

James 4:7

SUBMIT YOURSELVES THEREFORE TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.

The Sum Of This Part Of This Study Is, GRACE.

You Are Born Again Of The Spirit Of God, So That Makes You Born Of God EVEN AS CHRIST JESUS IS.

If You Believe That Jesus Is The Son Of God, Then You ARE Saved.

And Because Your Hope Is In Him, Then You ARE A Child Of God Too, EVEN AS JESUS IS.

You ARE Pure, EVEN AS JESUS IS.

You ARE Righteous EVEN AS JESUS CHRIST IS. ALL BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES WITHIN YOU FOREVER AND YOU CAN NOT SIN!

The Bible says in 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.

You were a sinner, BUT NOW YOU ARE WASHED, SANCTIFIED, JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, AND BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD.

LIVE IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GRACE!

TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE

God Created Everything Righteous And Perfect In The Beginning.

God gave Adam One Commandment, but Adam broke The One Command and became a sinner.

When Adam sinned, sin came into the whole world, to every man after him.

God gave a list of Commandments to the Jewish people and The List of Commandments is called The Law Of God.

God told the Jewish people to keep every Word of The Law to be Righteous.

(RIGHTEOUS is acting in accord with Divine Law, Free From Guilt Or Sin)

When you break The Law Of God you become a sinner.

Keeping The Law of God makes you Righteous.

I know a lot of us, especially in the early stages of our Salvation The Law is at the forefront of our minds. What I mean is we try to keep it all so God will be happy with us. But do you remember the guilt that you had when you did not measure up? I sure do. I walked around guilty all of the time. I even thought I wasn't even Saved, so much so that I would go back down to the preacher to be Saved all over again. Guilt, guilt, guilt, that was all I carried inside of me. Then I started to read my Bible for myself. I started to read the Scriptures in

Romans 8:1-4

There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death. 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.

I wondered what these Scriptures meant. Then I started to really study, my studies brought me to other Scriptures like, John 3:17-18

For God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be Saved. He That Believeth On Him Is Not Condemned: But He That Believeth Not Is Condemned Already, Because He Hath Not Believed In The Name Of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

Look what these Scriptures say, You Are Not Condemned If You Believe In Jesus Christ.

So I started looking into Jesus and His Sacrifice.

Jesus said in John 3:3-6

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. Nicodemus Saith Unto Him, How Can A Man Be Born When He Is Old? Can He Enter The Second Time Into His Mother's Womb, And Be Born? 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. That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh; And THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. Then I found The Scriptures in Luke 16:16

THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN: SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, And Every Man Presseth Into It.

Romans 8:4-11

That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. For They That Are After The Flesh Do Mind The Things Of The Flesh; BUT THEY THAT ARE AFTER THE SPIRIT THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT. For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE. Because The Carnal Mind Is Enmity Against God: For It Is Not Subject To The Law Of God, Neither Indeed Can Be. So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God. 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. But If The Spirit Of Him That Raised Up Jesus From The Dead Dwell In You, He That Raised Up Christ From The Dead Shall Also Quicken Your Mortal Bodies By His Spirit That Dwelleth In You.

Now as you can see there is a difference between the flesh and the Spirit. Carnal and Spiritually minded. Life and death. There is not both, but you are either one or the other. Jesus said THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. So I asked myself do I believe that Jesus is The Son Of God, and the answer is Yes. So I asked myself do you have The Spirit Of Christ, and the answer is Yes. Then I asked myself for how long, when will I lose my Salvation? So I found more Scriptures in Ephesians 1:13-14

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.

Ephesians 4:30

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

So The Bible says that if I believe in Jesus as the son of God I receive The Holy Spirit and will be sealed by Him until The Lord takes me home to be with Him Eternally.

(Redemption means the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment, or clearing a debt). One day my new body will be combined with my spirit and I will live in Heaven Eternally. That is when my Faith shall become sight. There are so many more Scriptures that I can give, but for now, just know condemnation is not of God. Jesus became guilty so I can become Righteous.

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.

PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE

John 3:15-21

That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have ETERNAL LIFE. For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have EVERLASTING LIFE. For God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be Saved. He That Believeth On Him Is Not Condemned: But He That Believeth Not Is Condemned Already, Because He Hath Not Believed In The Name Of The Only Begotten Son Of God. And This Is The Condemnation, That Light Is Come Into The World, And Men Loved Darkness Rather Than Light, Because Their Deeds Were Evil. For Every One That Doeth Evil Hateth The Light, Neither Cometh To The Light, Lest His Deeds Should Be Reproved. But He That Doeth Truth Cometh To The Light, That His Deeds May Be Made Manifest, That They Are Wrought In God..

Ephesians 2:1-10

And You Hath He Quickened, WHO WERE DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS; Wherein In Time Past Ye Walked According To The Course Of This World, According To The Prince Of The Power Of The Air, The Spirit That Now Worketh In The Children Of Disobedience: Among Whom Also We All Had Our Conversation In Times Past In The Lusts Of Our Flesh, Fulfilling The Desires Of The Flesh And Of The Mind; And Were By Nature The Children Of Wrath, Even As Others. 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.

John 5:24

Verily, Verily, I Say Unto You, He That Heareth My Word, And Believeth On Him That Sent Me, Hath EVERLASTING LIFE, And Shall Not Come Into Condemnation;

BUT IS PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE

CONDEMNATION VS CHASTISEMENT ~ SINNER VS CHILD

CONDEMNATION VS CHASTISEMENT

SINNER VS CHILD

When you are under The Law and you lie, you are condemned.

CONDEMN: to express an unfavorable or adverse judgment on, a severe punishment, to condemn to death,

to pronounce to be guilty

When you are under Grace and you lie, you are chastened, Jesus did not lie, so His obedience is transferred to you. Because At Salvation You Become A Child Of God. The difference is of being Condemned and Chastened is all because of The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ.

GOD works within us removing the impurity at Salvation.

God Transfers The Righteousness Of Jesus Christ To Us And Seals Us Unto The Day Of Redemption.

Think about your small child, did you have to teach them to lie? No, but you did chasten them to let them know that you did not approve of their lie, you did not condemn them to death. We loved them and started molding and making them into who we thought they should be. That is what The Holy Spirit is doing to us when we become a child of God.

CHASTISEMENT: To purify, inflict suffering or punishment upon to humble or improve, restrain; subdue, to rid of excess; refine

Romans 7:12-14

Wherefore The Law Is Holy, And The Commandment Holy, And Just, And Good. Was Then That Which Is Good Made Death Unto Me? God Forbid. But Sin, That It Might Appear Sin, Working Death In Me By That Which Is Good; That Sin By The Commandment Might Become Exceeding Sinful. For We Know That The Law Is Spiritual: But I Am Carnal, Sold Under Sin.

Romans 8:1-4

1 Corinthians 11:32

But When We Are Judged, We Are Chastened Of The Lord, That We Should Not Be Condemned With The World.

Hebrews 12:6-9

For Whom The Lord Loveth He Chasteneth, And Scourgeth Every Son Whom He Receiveth. If Ye Endure Chastening, God Dealeth With You As With Sons; For What Son Is He Whom The Father Chasteneth Not? But If Ye Be Without Chastisement, Whereof All Are Partakers, Then Are Ye Bastards, And Not Sons. Furthermore We Have Had Fathers Of Our Flesh Which Corrected Us, And We Gave Them Reverence: Shall We Not Much Rather Be In Subjection Unto The Father Of Spirits, And Live?

John 3:18

HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.

HIGH CALLING OF GOD

Philippians 3:7-16

BUT WHAT THINGS WERE GAIN TO ME, THOSE I COUNTED LOSS FOR CHRIST. YEA DOUBTLESS, AND I COUNT ALL THINGS BUT LOSS FOR THE EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS MY LORD: FOR WHOM I HAVE SUFFERED THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS, AND DO COUNT THEM BUT DUNG, THAT I MAY WIN CHRIST, 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: THAT I MAY KNOW HIM, AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, BEING MADE CONFORMABLE UNTO HIS DEATH; IF BY ANY MEANS I MIGHT ATTAIN UNTO THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. NOT AS THOUGH I HAD ALREADY ATTAINED, EITHER WERE ALREADY PERFECT: BUT I FOLLOW AFTER, IF THAT I MAY APPREHEND THAT FOR WHICH ALSO I AM APPREHENDED OF CHRIST JESUS. 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.

When people hear me say that we are not sinners after Faith in Christ Jesus, they think that I am saying there is nothing else God can do for me. So I should be translated like Enoch was.

First of all, I am not a sinner only because of The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ. When He Saved me His Holy Spirit came to Live in me and sealed me.

The Holy Spirit molds and makes us into The Image of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18

NOW THE LORD IS THAT SPIRIT: AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY. BUT WE ALL, WITH OPEN FACE BEHOLDING AS IN A GLASS THE GLORY OF THE LORD, ARE CHANGED INTO THE SAME IMAGE FROM GLORY TO GLORY, EVEN AS BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD.

Romans 3:22-24

EVEN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHICH IS BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST UNTO ALL AND UPON ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE: FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE: FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD; BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS:

Ephesians 1:12-14

THAT WE SHOULD BE TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY, WHO FIRST TRUSTED IN CHRIST. 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.

PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS

HUNGER AND THIRST FOR JESUS CHRIST

Matthew 5:6

BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH DO HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS: FOR THEY SHALL BE FILLED.

JOHN 6:35

AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE: HE THAT COMETH TO ME SHALL NEVER HUNGER; AND HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME SHALL NEVER THIRST.

MATTHEW 6:33

BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.

The Law was given by God so that men could know what Righteousness is. If you keep all of The Law then you are Righteous before God. If you break The Law then you are a sinner.

Jesus kept The Law perfectly, so now we believe in Him for our Righteousness. Only if you keep whole The Law will you be able to come before God, but men can not keep The Law because we love to sin. We love to lie, steal, kill, murder, commit adultery, and covet. When we do any of these we are breaking The Law, We Even Break The First Commandment Because We Are Not

Loving The Lord As It Says in, Mark 12:30

AND THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH: THIS IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT.

If you would keep The First Commandment, then you would keep them all. We can not get passed The First Commandment to be Righteous. That's why God sent Jesus in the likeness of men so that He would keep The Law for us. We Believe In The Righteousness Of Jesus Christ As Our Righteousness.

When people hear me say that we are not sinners after Faith in Christ Jesus, they think that I am saying there is nothing else God can do for me. So I should be translated like Enoch was.

First of all, I am not a sinner only because of The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ. When He Saved me His Holy Spirit came to Live in me and sealed me.

The Holy Spirit molds and makes us into The Image of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18

Romans 3:22-24

Ephesians 1:12-14

So many people think that they have to be righteous themselves by keeping The Law when True Righteousness is by Faith In Christ Jesus. HAVE A ZEAL FOR JESUS CHRIST! HUNGER AND THIRST FOR JESUS CHRIST AND RECEIVE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!

Romans 10:2-4

For I Bear Them Record That They Have A Zeal Of God, But Not According To Knowledge. For They Being Ignorant Of God's Righteousness, And Going About To Establish Their Own Righteousness, Have Not Submitted Themselves Unto The Righteousness Of God. FOR CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH.

Romans 3:22-24

BURDENS

Matthew 23:2-7

SAYING, THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES SIT IN MOSES' SEAT: ALL THEREFORE WHATSOEVER THEY BID YOU OBSERVE, THAT OBSERVE AND DO; BUT DO NOT YE AFTER THEIR WORKS: FOR THEY SAY, AND DO NOT. FOR THEY BIND HEAVY BURDENS AND GRIEVOUS TO BE BORNE, AND LAY THEM ON MEN'S SHOULDERS; BUT THEY THEMSELVES WILL NOT MOVE THEM WITH ONE OF THEIR FINGERS. BUT ALL THEIR WORKS THEY DO FOR TO BE SEEN OF MEN: THEY MAKE BROAD THEIR PHYLACTERIES, AND ENLARGE THE BORDERS OF THEIR GARMENTS, AND LOVE THE UPPERMOST ROOMS AT FEASTS, AND THE CHIEF SEATS IN THE SYNAGOGUES, AND GREETINGS IN THE MARKETS, AND TO BE CALLED OF MEN, RABBI, RABBI.

Acts 15:1,5

AND CERTAIN MEN WHICH CAME DOWN FROM JUDAEA TAUGHT THE BRETHREN, AND SAID, EXCEPT YE BE CIRCUMCISED AFTER THE MANNER OF MOSES, YE CANNOT BE SAVED.

[5] BUT THERE ROSE UP CERTAIN OF THE SECT OF THE PHARISEES WHICH BELIEVED, SAYING, THAT IT WAS NEEDFUL TO CIRCUMCISE THEM, AND TO COMMAND THEM TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES.

ACTS 15:27-29

WE HAVE SENT THEREFORE JUDAS AND SILAS, WHO SHALL ALSO TELL YOU THE SAME THINGS BY MOUTH. FOR IT SEEMED GOOD TO THE HOLY GHOST, AND TO US, TO LAY UPON YOU NO GREATER BURDEN THAN THESE NECESSARY THINGS; THAT YE ABSTAIN FROM MEATS OFFERED TO IDOLS, AND FROM BLOOD, AND FROM THINGS STRANGLED, AND FROM FORNICATION: FROM WHICH IF YE KEEP YOURSELVES, YE SHALL DO WELL. FARE YE WELL.

JESUS SAID IN

MATTHEW 11:28-30

COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU, AND LEARN OF ME; FOR I AM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART: AND YE SHALL FIND REST UNTO YOUR SOULS. FOR MY YOKE IS EASY, AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT.

CAST: to throw or hurl; fling

BURDEN: Something that is carried. Something that is emotionally difficult to bear.

A source of great worry or stress; weight.

PHYLACTERIES: a small leather box containing Hebrew texts on vellum, worn by Jewish men at morning prayer as a reminder to keep the law.

When you feel overwhelmed, and you feel that you failed, and don't measure up you are carrying your burdens. Remember religion and religious leaders will put a burden on you if you will let them. Don't let them,

JESUS DIED TO TAKE THEM ALL UPON HIMSELF.

DO YOU NEED THE BIBLE? IS THE BIBLE ARCHAIC?

So many so-called Christians say that The Bible is not meant for us today and is outdated. Now I will be the first one to say that we are New Testament Christians. I have always said that The Old Testament is where The Law is and The New Testament is where Grace is.

John 1:17

FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN BY MOSES, BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME BY JESUS CHRIST.

But I will also be the first one to say that

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WORD OF GOD TODAY AND EVERY DAY. I don't understand why people don't want to read the most beautiful Book ever written. the Bible is a love letter straight to us from God Almighty. He loves us so much that He Sent His Only Begotten Son to give His life for us.

Through The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ, we are now made children of God. You wouldn't have known that if someone had not read what was written in The Bible. Because of The Word Of God, we know that we have the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus living In us. We Know That We Are Sealed With The Holy Spirit Until The Day Redemption.

Through learning The Word Of God we know that we are Victorious In Christ Jesus. ThroughThe Word Of God we know that our Home and Eternal Life are in Heaven.

Ephesians 6:17

And Take The Helmet Of Salvation, And The Sword Of The Spirit, Which Is The Word Of God:

The way to defeat satan is to know The Word Of God. If you do not know The Word Of God then you are on your own. The Sword Of The Holy Spirit Is The Word Of God.

READ YOUR BIBLE, IT IS STILL VERY IMPORTANT.

FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN

Romans 3:1-2

What Advantage Then Hath The Jew? Or What Profit Is There Of Circumcision? Much Every Way: Chiefly, Because That Unto Them Were Committed The Oracles Of God.

God chose the Jewish people as His people.

God chose the Jewish men to set up His Temple.

God gave His Law and Prophecies to the Jewish men.

Oracle: a person through whom a God speaks

Hebrews 8:8-10,13

For Finding Fault With Them, He Saith, Behold, The Days Come, Saith The Lord, When I Will Make A New Covenant With The House Of Israel And With The House Of Judah:

[9] Not According To The Covenant That I Made With Their Fathers In The Day When I Took Them By The Hand To Lead Them Out Of The Land Of Egypt; Because They Continued Not In My Covenant, And I Regarded Them Not, Saith The Lord. For This Is The Covenant That I Will Make With The House Of Israel After Those Days, Saith The Lord; I Will Put My Laws Into Their Mind, And Write Them In Their Hearts: And I Will Be To Them A God, And They Shall Be To Me A People:

[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.

Romans 3:20-21

Now in The New Testament as you read in Romans God told the Jewish men that there was a New Way, A New Covenant and they were no longer under The Law, But Grace.

What does that mean, well, under The Law was the knowledge of sin. Every time you broke The Law you sinned. Jesus kept The Law and paid the price of sinning, He went into Hell, and the wrath of God was satisfied. Our Faith In Jesus Christ and His payment for our sins makes us Righteous in the eyes of God. If you continue in The Law to be justified, then it is not Grace.

Romans 4:4-5

Now To Him That Worketh Is The Reward Not Reckoned Of Grace, But Of Debt. But To Him That Worketh Not, But Believeth On Him That Justifieth The Ungodly, His Faith Is Counted For Righteousness.

Romans 10:4

For Christ Is The End Of The Law For Righteousness To Every One That Believeth.

Galatians 2:11-21

But When Peter Was Come To Antioch, I Withstood Him To The Face, Because He Was To Be Blamed. For Before That Certain Came From James, He Did Eat With The Gentiles: But When They Were Come, He Withdrew And Separated Himself, Fearing Them Which Were Of The Circumcision. And The Other Jews Dissembled Likewise With Him; Insomuch That Barnabas Also Was Carried Away With Their Dissimulation.

But When I Saw That They Walked Not Uprightly According To The Truth Of The Gospel, I Said Unto Peter Before Them All, If Thou, Being A Jew, Livest After The Manner Of Gentiles, And Not As Do The Jews, Why Compellest Thou The Gentiles To Live As Do The Jews? We Who Are Jews By Nature, And Not Sinners Of The Gentiles, 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. But If, While We Seek To Be Justified By Christ, We Ourselves Also Are Found Sinners, Is Therefore Christ The Minister Of Sin? God Forbid. For If I Build Again The Things Which I Destroyed, I Make Myself A Transgressor. 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.

Even Peter felt pressure on him to keep The Law when the Jewish men came from James. Peter was confronted by Paul and told of his errors. Paul said that the Jews were the chosen Holy people of God, and the Gentiles were sinners under The Law Of God, but under The Grace Of God through Christ Jesus, we are all sinners and Jesus Christ Paid the Price for all of us. Jesus became sin for us all so He could pay for all.

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.

SOLD, BUT BOUGHT BACK

Have you ever heard of this saying that He would sell his soul to the devil for whatever he wants? Well, I am going to tell you where that came from.

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

Adam was commanded by God not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but satan seduced Adam with the possibility to be a god, so Adam ate against the Command of God. Adam and his wife Eve literally sold their souls to the devil.

Genesis 3:4-5

And The Serpent Said Unto The Woman, Ye Shall Not Surely Die: For God Doth Know That In The Day Ye Eat Thereof, Then Your Eyes Shall Be Opened, And Ye Shall Be As Gods, Knowing Good And Evil.

Now that was very bad indeed, but what was worse is Adam not only sold his soul to the devil but yours and mine too. Sin entered the whole world because of Adam. Sin was not the only thing that happened death came upon men. Adam was created with a living soul, but when he ate of the forbidden tree, his soul died. But Jesus Christ came and died for us, He took our place so that instead of death we can have Everlasting Life. He was raised from the dead to live forever more!

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 5:8-11

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.

Romans 5:17-21

For If By One Man's Offence Death Reigned By One; Much More They Which Receive Abundance Of Grace And Of The Gift Of Righteousness Shall Reign In Life By One, Jesus Christ.) Therefore As By The Offence Of One Judgment Came Upon All Men To Condemnation; EVEN SO BY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE THE FREE GIFT CAME UPON ALL MEN UNTO JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. For As By One Man's Disobedience Many Were Made Sinners, So By The Obedience Of One Shall Many Be Made Righteous. Moreover The Law Entered, That The Offence Might Abound. But Where Sin Abounded, Grace Did Much More Abound: That As Sin Hath Reigned Unto Death, EVEN SO MIGHT GRACE REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO ETERNAL LIFE BY JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Death comes because of the sin of disobedience, BUT ETERNAL LIFE COMES BY THE OBEDIENCE OF JESUS CHRIST.

OUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS MAKES US RIGHTEOUS AND ALIVE FOREVERMORE.

WE NEED A SAVIOR AND HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE, BECAUSE OF THE LAW

WE NEED A SAVIOR AND HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE, BECAUSE OF THE LAW.

Let us go back to the beginning and move forward. This is a study for babes in Christ Jesus and for the mature also. I believe that it will help everyone.

THIS IS A LONG STUDY BUT NEEDED TO EXPLAIN IN DETAIL WHY WE ALL NEED A SAVIOR

God created a garden in Eden. This garden was perfection, all Adam had to do was take care of it and enjoy Heaven on earth. God told Adam not to do one thing and that was about a tree. The tree was forbidden to eat from. Every other tree else was permitted to eat.

This one tree was called, The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil. Adam ate of The Tree and that was the first time men sinned. God cast Adam and Eve out of the garden in Eden and they had to start over from nothing and do all of the work themselves.

Genesis 2:15-17

And The Lord God Took The Man, And Put Him Into The Garden Of Eden To Dress It And To Keep It. 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 3:6-12,17-19,23-24

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. And The Eyes Of Them Both Were Opened, And They Knew That They Were Naked; And They Sewed Fig Leaves Together, And Made Themselves Aprons. And They Heard The Voice Of The Lord God Walking In The Garden In The Cool Of The Day: And Adam And His Wife Hid Themselves From The Presence Of The Lord God Amongst The Trees Of The Garden. And The Lord God Called Unto Adam, And Said Unto Him, Where Art Thou? And He Said, I Heard Thy Voice In The Garden, And I Was Afraid, Because I Was Naked; And I Hid Myself. And He Said, Who Told Thee That Thou Wast Naked? Hast Thou Eaten Of The Tree, Whereof I Commanded Thee That Thou Shouldest Not Eat? And The Man Said, The Woman Whom Thou Gavest To Be With Me, She Gave Me Of The Tree, And I Did Eat.

[17] And Unto Adam He Said, Because Thou Hast Hearkened Unto The Voice Of Thy Wife, And Hast Eaten Of The Tree, Of Which I Commanded Thee, Saying, Thou Shalt Not Eat Of It: Cursed Is The Ground For Thy Sake; In Sorrow Shalt Thou Eat Of It All The Days Of Thy Life; Thorns Also And Thistles Shall It Bring Forth To Thee; And Thou Shalt Eat The Herb Of The Field; In The Sweat Of Thy Face Shalt Thou Eat Bread, Till Thou Return Unto The Ground; For Out Of It Wast Thou Taken: For Dust Thou Art, And Unto Dust Shalt Thou Return.

[23] Therefore The Lord God Sent Him Forth From The Garden Of Eden, To Till The Ground From Whence He Was Taken. So He Drove Out The Man; And He Placed At The East Of The Garden Of Eden Cherubims, And A Flaming Sword Which Turned Every Way, To Keep The Way Of The Tree Of Life.

Now, this is the beginning of a pattern of how men would live for many, many years. God will create something perfect and men will break it.

God created The Law that He wrote in stone. Moses came down with The Law that God had written and dropped them and broke them. Moses got angry with the Jewish people and in his anger, he threw The Stone Tablets on the ground and broke them.

Exodus 31:18

And He Gave Unto Moses, When He Had Made An End Of Communing With Him Upon Mount Sinai, Two Tables Of Testimony, Tables Of Stone, Written With The Finger Of God.

Exodus 32:15-16

And Moses Turned, And Went Down From The Mount, And The Two Tables Of The Testimony Were In His Hand: The Tables Were Written On Both Their Sides; On The One Side And On The Other Were They Written. And The Tables Were The Work Of God, And The Writing Was The Writing Of God, Graven Upon The Tables.

Exodus 32:19

And It Came To Pass, As Soon As He Came Nigh Unto The Camp, That He Saw The Calf, And The Dancing: And Moses' Anger Waxed Hot, And He Cast The Tables Out Of His Hands, And Brake Them Beneath The Mount.

Moses saw the evil of the Jewish people and he went back up to God and asked Him to put their sins on him, God said no, that every person has to bear their own sins before Him.

Exodus 32:31-35

And Moses Returned Unto The Lord, And Said, Oh, This People Have Sinned A Great Sin, And Have Made Them Gods Of Gold. Yet Now, If Thou Wilt Forgive Their Sin--; And If Not, Blot Me, I Pray Thee, Out Of Thy Book Which Thou Hast Written. And The Lord Said Unto Moses, Whosoever Hath Sinned Against Me, Him Will I Blot Out Of My Book. Therefore Now Go, Lead The People Unto The Place Of Which I Have Spoken Unto Thee: Behold, Mine Angel Shall Go Before Thee: Nevertheless In The Day When I Visit I Will Visit Their Sin Upon Them. And The Lord Plagued The People Because They Made The Calf, Which Aaron Made.

When Moses went back up to see God, God told him to chisel out of stone two more tablets like the first ones. So Moses did. You can see the pattern here too. God created something and men breaks it, then he has to do the work himself.

Exodus 34:1,4

And The Lord Said Unto Moses, Hew Thee Two Tables Of Stone Like Unto The First: And I Will Write Upon These Tables The Words That Were In The First Tables, Which Thou Brakest.

[4] And He Hewed Two Tables Of Stone Like Unto The First; And Moses Rose Up Early In The Morning, And Went Up Unto Mount Sinai, As The Lord Had Commanded Him, And Took In His Hand The Two Tables Of Stone.

The Law was given by God to the Jewish people to live by.

The Law Is The Life And Death Of Not Only The Jewish People But The Whole World. The Law Is Blessings And Cursings. The Law Is A Very Big Deal, The Biggest. You break The Law and do not have an atonement for your sin the wrath of God is upon you. You have to pay for your own sins. The payment for sin is Death, Hell, And One Day The Lake Of Fire.

Back to Moses and The Jewish people.

EVERY COMMAND OF GOD HAS BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS. IF YOU KEEP THE WHOLE LAW YOU WILL BE BLESSED, IF YOU BREAK THE LAW YOU WILL BE CURSED.

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:

Moses read all of The Law to the people and they all said Amen to it. When the people said Amen to The Law that meant they were willing to live by it and keep every part of it. The Jewish people agreed to The terms of God.

Deuteronomy 27:26

CURSED BE HE THAT CONFIRMETH NOT ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LAW TO DO THEM. AND ALL THE PEOPLE SHALL SAY, AMEN.

One example of the Jewish people saying Amen is found in verse 15, there are many more. You can read 15 through 26 of Deuteronomy chapter 27.

Deuteronomy 27:1,11,15

And Moses With The Elders Of Israel Commanded The People, Saying, Keep All The Commandments Which I Command You This Day.

[11] And Moses Charged The People The Same Day, Saying,

[15] Cursed Be The Man That Maketh Any Graven Or Molten Image, An Abomination Unto The Lord, The Work Of The Hands Of The Craftsman, And Putteth It In A Secret Place. And All The People Shall Answer And Say, Amen.

Joshua 1:8

This Book Of The Law Shall Not Depart Out Of Thy Mouth; But Thou Shalt Meditate Therein Day And Night, That Thou Mayest Observe To Do According To All That Is Written Therein: For Then Thou Shalt Make Thy Way Prosperous, And Then Thou Shalt Have Good Success.

They were to teach The Law to their children, diligently. The Jewish people were to rise thinking about The Law when they sit down when they lay. The Law is to be in their minds at all times.

EVERY NEW LEADER OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE READ THE BOOK OF THE LAW TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE SO THEY WOULD ALL KNOW THE LAW AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO KEEP IT.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9

And These Words, Which I Command Thee This Day, Shall Be In Thine Heart: And Thou Shalt Teach Them Diligently Unto Thy Children, And Shalt Talk Of Them When Thou Sittest In Thine House, And When Thou Walkest By The Way, And When Thou Liest Down, And When Thou Risest Up. And Thou Shalt Bind Them For A Sign Upon Thine Hand, And They Shall Be As Frontlets Between Thine Eyes. And Thou Shalt Write Them Upon The Posts Of Thy House, And On Thy Gates.

Joshua 8:34-35

And Afterward He Read All The Words Of The Law, The Blessings And Cursings, According To All That Is Written In The Book Of The Law. There Was Not A Word Of All That Moses Commanded, Which Joshua Read Not Before All The Congregation Of Israel, With The Women, And The Little Ones, And The Strangers That Were Conversant Among Them.

As I stated before, the cost of sin means the wrath of God is against you, death, Hell is your punishment.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ATONEMENT!

If you don't then when time is over, death and hell will give up the dead that are in them and they all will be cast into the lake of fire. Every sinner will be judged and cast into The Lake Of Fire.

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.

NOW TO THE GOOD TIDINGS AND GREAT JOY!

Luke 2:10-11

And The Angel Said Unto Them, Fear Not: For, Behold, I Bring You Good Tidings Of Great Joy, Which Shall Be To All People. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD.

Matthew 1:21-23

And She Shall Bring Forth A Son, And Thou Shalt Call His Name Jesus: For He Shall Save His People From Their Sins. Now All This Was Done, That It Might Be Fulfilled Which Was Spoken Of The Lord By The Prophet, Saying, Behold, A Virgin Shall Be With Child, And Shall Bring Forth A Son, And They Shall Call His Name Emmanuel, Which Being Interpreted Is, God With Us.

John 1:29

The Next Day John Seeth Jesus Coming Unto Him, And Saith, Behold The Lamb Of God, Which Taketh Away The Sin Of The World.

Ephesians 1:6-7

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;

Colossians 1:12-14

Giving Thanks Unto The Father, Which Hath Made Us Meet To Be Partakers Of The Inheritance Of The Saints In Light: Who Hath Delivered Us From The Power Of Darkness, And Hath Translated Us Into The Kingdom Of His Dear Son: In Whom We Have Redemption Through His Blood, Even The Forgiveness Of Sins:

Matthew 5:17-18

Think Not That I Am Come To Destroy The Law, Or The Prophets: I Am Not Come To Destroy, But To Fulfil. For Verily I Say Unto You, Till Heaven And Earth Pass, One Jot Or One Tittle Shall In No Wise Pass From The Law, Till All Be Fulfilled.

Luke 24:44

And He Said Unto Them, These Are The Words Which I Spake Unto You, While I Was Yet With You, That ALL THINGS MUST BE FULFILLED, WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES, AND IN THE PROPHETS, AND IN THE PSALMS, CONCERNING ME.

1 Timothy 1:4-11

Neither Give Heed To Fables And Endless Genealogies, Which Minister Questions, RATHER THAN GODLY EDIFYING WHICH IS IN FAITH: So Do. Now The End Of The Commandment Is Charity Out Of A Pure Heart, And Of A Good Conscience, And Of FAITH UNFEIGNED: From Which Some Having Swerved Have Turned Aside Unto Vain Jangling; Desiring To Be Teachers Of The Law; Understanding Neither What They Say, Nor Whereof They Affirm. But We Know That The Law Is Good, If A Man Use It Lawfully; 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; ACCORDING TO THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF THE BLESSED GOD, Which Was Committed To My Trust.

1 Corinthians 6:9-20

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. All Things Are Lawful Unto Me, But All Things Are Not Expedient: All Things Are Lawful For Me, But I Will Not Be Brought Under The Power Of Any. Meats For The Belly, And The Belly For Meats: But God Shall Destroy Both It And Them. Now THE BODY IS NOT FOR FORNICATION, BUT FOR THE LORD; AND THE LORD FOR THE BODY. And God Hath Both Raised Up The Lord, And Will Also Raise Up Us By His Own Power. KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODIES ARE THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST? Shall I Then Take The Members Of Christ, And Make Them The Members Of An Harlot? God Forbid. What? Know Ye Not That He Which Is Joined To An Harlot Is One Body? For Two, Saith He, Shall Be One Flesh. BUT HE THAT IS JOINED UNTO THE LORD IS ONE SPIRIT. Flee Fornication. Every Sin That A Man Doeth Is Without The Body; But He That Committeth Fornication Sinneth Against His Own Body. What? KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE OF GOD, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN? FOR YE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE: THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY, AND IN YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD'S.

Colossians 3:5-10

Mortify Therefore Your Members Which Are Upon The Earth; FORNICATION, UNCLEANNESS, INORDINATE AFFECTION, EVIL CONCUPISCENCE, AND COVETOUSNESS, WHICH IS IDOLATRY: For Which Things' Sake THE WRATH OF GOD COMETH ON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE: In The Which Ye Also Walked Some Time, When Ye Lived In Them. BUT NOW YE ALSO PUT OFF ALL THESE; ANGER, WRATH, MALICE, BLASPHEMY, FILTHY COMMUNICATION OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. LIE NOT ONE TO ANOTHER, SEEING THAT YE HAVE PUT OFF THE OLD MAN WITH HIS DEEDS; AND HAVE PUT ON THE NEW MAN, WHICH IS RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE AFTER THE IMAGE OF HIM THAT CREATED HIM:

Titus 3:2-8

To Speak Evil Of No Man, To Be No Brawlers, But Gentle, Shewing All Meekness Unto All Men. For We Ourselves Also Were Sometimes Foolish, Disobedient, Deceived, Serving Divers Lusts And Pleasures, Living In Malice And Envy, Hateful, And Hating One Another. But After That The Kindness And Love Of God Our Saviour Toward Man Appeared, 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. This Is A Faithful Saying, And These Things I Will That Thou Affirm Constantly, That They Which Have Believed In God Might Be Careful To Maintain Good Works. These Things Are Good And Profitable Unto Men.

Colossians 3:3

FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD.

Let No Man Deceive You,

He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil,

HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS!

Romans 3:20-21

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. But Now The Righteousness Of God Without The Law Is Manifested, Being Witnessed By The Law And The Prophets;

Hebrews 10:2b.

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

Luke 16:16

THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN: SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, And Every Man Presseth Into It.

Romans 6:14

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

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 8:2-4

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

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.

John 3:3,5-6

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.

[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. THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT.

Romans 8:9-10,15

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.

[15] FOR YE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF BONDAGE AGAIN TO FEAR; BUT YE HAVE RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, WHEREBY WE CRY, ABBA, FATHER.

Colossians 3:3

FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD.

AS YOU CAN READ IN CHRIST JESUS THERE IS NO CURSE ONLY BLESSINGS! THROUGH FAITH IN HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE WE ARE AT PEACE WITH GOD!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

MADE FREE FROM SIN

Romans 3:20-28

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. But Now The Righteousness Of God Without The Law Is Manifested, Being Witnessed By The Law And The Prophets; EVEN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHICH IS BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST UNTO ALL AND UPON ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE: For There Is No Difference: For All Have Sinned, And Come Short Of The Glory Of God; 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 2:14-21

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. But If, While We Seek To Be Justified By Christ, We Ourselves Also Are Found Sinners, Is Therefore Christ The Minister Of Sin? God Forbid. For If I Build Again The Things Which I Destroyed, I Make Myself A Transgressor. 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.

Romans 6:14-23

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace. What Then? Shall We Sin, Because We Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace? God Forbid. Know Ye Not, That To Whom Ye Yield Yourselves Servants To Obey, His Servants Ye Are To Whom Ye Obey; Whether Of Sin Unto Death, Or Of Obedience Unto Righteousness? 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. Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. I Speak After The Manner Of Men Because Of The Infirmity Of Your Flesh: For As Ye Have Yielded Your Members Servants To Uncleanness And To Iniquity Unto Iniquity; Even So Now Yield Your Members Servants To Righteousness Unto Holiness. For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness. What Fruit Had Ye Then In Those Things Whereof Ye Are Now Ashamed? For The End Of Those Things Is Death. 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.

BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT

1 John 4:1-2

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

Matthew 24:5

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Matthew 24:11-12

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Acts 20:29-32

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

2 Peter 2:1

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

John 10:11-18

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

I write a lot of Scriptures because I want you to know The True Word of God, not just my opinion.

My Ministry is a Bible study, not a Donna study.

I give a lot of Scripture because it is so easy to manipulate babes in Christ Jesus. Just because you see someone open The Holy Bible and read a Scripture, does not mean they are telling you the Truth Of The Gospel. Any so-called preacher or teacher can take a verse and make a whole movement out of it.

For Example, let us take

JOHN 11:35

JESUS WEPT.

If a person takes this one scripture out of context, they could say that you have to cry when you are in the presence of the Lord. They could say Jesus Cried so you have to. They could say if you don't, then you haven't been moved by The Holy Spirit.

Always read the Scriptures above and below the one that you are being taught. So many Christians don't know why JESUS WEPT, they will just take the one teaching and preaching word for it. I see many people never open their Bibles in the assembly, they just listen to what is being said. It is The Word Of God that matters, not the person saying it. READING YOUR BIBLE, IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE SOMETHING THAT I WILL ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO. IT IS VITAL TO YOUR SPIRITUAL HEALTH. Always read the Scriptures with the people teaching and preaching. If you do not understand what they are saying, then go home, Pray, and reread those Scriptures in your own time. Don't be rushed into believing in something that you don't understand.

ASK HIM

Luke 11:9-13

And I Say Unto You, Ask, And It Shall Be Given You; Seek, And Ye Shall Find; Knock, And It Shall Be Opened Unto You. For Every One That Asketh Receiveth; And He That Seeketh Findeth; And To Him That Knocketh It Shall Be Opened. If A Son Shall Ask Bread Of Any Of You That Is A Father, Will He Give Him A Stone? Or If He Ask A Fish, Will He For A Fish Give Him A Serpent? Or If He Shall Ask An Egg, Will He Offer Him A Scorpion? If Ye Then, Being Evil, Know How To Give Good Gifts Unto Your Children: HOW MUCH MORE SHALL YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THEM THAT ASK HIM?

So many Christians take these Scriptures as name-it, claim-it promises. Ask and you will receive. This is the danger of only reading a few Scriptures, yes it says food, but it also says The Father will give you more of The Holy Spirit if you ask Him. The things we receive from God are both necessities and Spiritual. So many false preachers and teachers will turn the Holy Scriptures into the worldly and it always is about money. If you want a bigger house, ask. If you want a better new car, ask. If you want a jet ask. You think I joking, but I have heard a tv so-called evangelist say these very words. When you become Spiritual after Salvation your heart's desire changes. After Salvation, you start caring more about souls and witnessing to the lost. Yes, you need a place to live, food to eat, and the necessities to live. But your heart changes from material things to the Spiritual. That is why John says that God will give us what we ask for, but only if it is according to His Will. He does not say that He will give you everything you ask for.

Read what The Scriptures say in 1John and Matthew,

1 John 5:11-15

And This Is The Record, That God Hath Given To Us Eternal Life, And This Life Is In His Son. He That Hath The Son Hath Life; And He That Hath Not The Son Of God Hath Not Life. These Things Have I Written Unto You That Believe On The Name Of The Son Of God; That Ye May Know That Ye Have Eternal Life, And That Ye May Believe On The Name Of The Son Of God. And This Is The Confidence That We Have In Him, That, IF WE ASK ANY THING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARETH US: AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE HEAR US, WHATSOEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE PETITIONS THAT WE DESIRED OF HIM.

JESUS SAID IN

Matthew 7:7-23

ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU; SEEK, AND YE SHALL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU: FOR EVERY ONE THAT ASKETH RECEIVETH; AND HE THAT SEEKETH FINDETH; AND TO HIM THAT KNOCKETH IT SHALL BE OPENED. OR WHAT MAN IS THERE OF YOU, WHOM IF HIS SON ASK BREAD, WILL HE GIVE HIM A STONE? OR IF HE ASK A FISH, WILL HE GIVE HIM A SERPENT? IF YE THEN, BEING EVIL, KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS UNTO YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE SHALL YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN GIVE GOOD THINGS TO THEM THAT ASK HIM? THEREFORE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YE WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU, DO YE EVEN SO TO THEM: FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. ENTER YE IN AT THE STRAIT GATE: FOR WIDE IS THE GATE, AND BROAD IS THE WAY, THAT LEADETH TO DESTRUCTION, AND MANY THERE BE WHICH GO IN THEREAT: BECAUSE STRAIT IS THE GATE, AND NARROW IS THE WAY, WHICH LEADETH UNTO LIFE, AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT. BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS, WHICH COME TO YOU IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY THEY ARE RAVENING WOLVES. YE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. DO MEN GATHER GRAPES OF THORNS, OR FIGS OF THISTLES? EVEN SO EVERY GOOD TREE BRINGETH FORTH GOOD FRUIT; BUT A CORRUPT TREE BRINGETH FORTH EVIL FRUIT. A GOOD TREE CANNOT BRING FORTH EVIL FRUIT, NEITHER CAN A CORRUPT TREE BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT. EVERY TREE THAT BRINGETH NOT FORTH GOOD FRUIT IS HEWN DOWN, AND CAST INTO THE FIRE. WHEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. NOT EVERY ONE THAT SAITH UNTO ME, LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN; BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. MANY WILL SAY TO ME IN THAT DAY, LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED IN THY NAME? AND IN THY NAME HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS? AND IN THY NAME DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS? AND THEN WILL I PROFESS UNTO THEM, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

For Such Are False Apostles, Deceitful Workers, Transforming Themselves Into The Apostles Of Christ. And No Marvel; For Satan Himself Is Transformed Into An Angel Of Light. Therefore It Is No Great Thing If His Ministers Also Be Transformed As The Ministers Of Righteousness; Whose End Shall Be According To Their Works.

When so-called prophets and preachers tell you that you are going to get money, if you do such and such then they are false and INWARDLY THEY ARE RAVENING WOLVES. Be careful of who you listen to, and what you read. Read your Bible and it will make it harder for you to be deceived. That is why Jesus says in

John 3:6-7

That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh; And THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. MARVEL NOT THAT I SAID UNTO THEE, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.

YE ARE MY FRIENDS

John 15:8-27
Herein Is My Father Glorified, That Ye Bear Much Fruit; So Shall Ye Be My Disciples. As The Father Hath Loved Me, So Have I Loved You: Continue Ye In My Love. If Ye Keep My Commandments, Ye Shall Abide In My Love; Even As I Have Kept My Father's Commandments, And Abide In His Love. These Things Have I Spoken Unto You, That My Joy Might Remain In You, And That Your Joy Might Be Full. THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. YE ARE MY FRIENDS, If Ye Do Whatsoever I Command You. Henceforth I Call You Not Servants; For The Servant Knoweth Not What His Lord Doeth: BUT I HAVE CALLED YOU FRIENDS; For All Things That I Have Heard Of My Father I Have Made Known Unto You. YE HAVE NOT CHOSEN ME, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU, AND ORDAINED YOU, THAT YE SHOULD GO AND BRING FORTH FRUIT, AND THAT YOUR FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: THAT WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK OF THE FATHER IN MY NAME, HE MAY GIVE IT YOU. THESE THINGS I COMMAND YOU, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER. If The World Hate You, Ye Know That It Hated Me Before It Hated You. If Ye Were Of The World, The World Would Love His Own: BUT BECAUSE YE ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU OUT OF THE WORLD, Therefore The World Hateth You. Remember The Word That I Said Unto You, The Servant Is Not Greater Than His Lord. If They Have Persecuted Me, They Will Also Persecute You; If They Have Kept My Saying, They Will Keep Yours Also. But All These Things Will They Do Unto You For My Name's Sake, Because They Know Not Him That Sent Me. If I Had Not Come And Spoken Unto Them, They Had Not Had Sin: But Now They Have No Cloke For Their Sin. He That Hateth Me Hateth My Father Also. If I Had Not Done Among Them The Works Which None Other Man Did, They Had Not Had Sin: But Now Have They Both Seen And Hated Both Me And My Father. But This Cometh To Pass, That The Word Might Be Fulfilled That Is Written In Their Law, They Hated Me Without A Cause.
BUT WHEN THE COMFORTER IS COME, WHOM I WILL SEND UNTO YOU FROM THE FATHER, EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WHICH PROCEEDETH FROM THE FATHER, HE SHALL TESTIFY OF ME: AND YE ALSO SHALL BEAR WITNESS, BECAUSE YE HAVE BEEN WITH ME FROM THE BEGINNING.

WE KNOW HIS WILL IS FOR US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

BUT NOW THEY HAVE NO CLOKE FOR THEIR SIN.
JESU CHRIST IS THE CLOKE FOR OUR SINS.

CLOKE OR CLOAK: Clothing, a wrap-like outer garment fastened, something that covers or conceals
to cover with or as if with a cloak

to hide.

JESUS CHRIST, WRAPS AROUND US AND SEALS US WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT.

Ephesians 1:13-14
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.
Ephesians 4:30
And Grieve Not THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION.

SEALED:To secure or prevent passage into or out of, To affix a seal to something to prove authenticity, accuracy, or quality.
To establish or determine irrevocably

KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS AFTER SALVATION!

GLORY TO THE FATHER FOR OUR FRIEND JESUS CHRIST!

1 John 3:2-9

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.

HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS!

DO RIGHTEOUSNESS!

THE GOSPEL OF PEACE

YOU ARE CHILDREN OF LIGHT

WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD

I IN THEM, AND THOU IN ME

SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT, KNOW THE TRUTH

HOLY

BOUNDARIES FOR OUR GOOD

JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD WRAPPED IN FLESH

TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE {Part 2}

TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE

PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE

CONDEMNATION VS CHASTISEMENT ~ SINNER VS CHILD

HIGH CALLING OF GOD

HUNGER AND THIRST FOR JESUS CHRIST

BURDENS

DO YOU NEED THE BIBLE? IS THE BIBLE ARCHAIC?

FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN

SOLD, BUT BOUGHT BACK

WE NEED A SAVIOR AND HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE, BECAUSE OF THE LAW

MADE FREE FROM SIN

BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT

ASK HIM

YE ARE MY FRIENDS

FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD

THE LAW, ISRAEL, AND FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS
