LIVING SOUL

LIVING SOUL

God Created a man He named Adam. 

God told Adam to tend to His Creation. God also had a close relationship with Adam, in the beginning, God would come in the cool of the day and visit Adam. I sometimes think of the conversations that they had. Here is The Righteous God talking with a Righteous man. Adam was a friend to God. The Almighty, The Creator of all things would take time to visit Adam. WOW! 

Everything was at Peace, everything was Beautiful. God told Adam that he could eat from any of the trees in the Garden Of Eden except for one. God told Adam when you do you will die. God Created man to live forever. He breathed His Spirit into Adam and he became a living soul. Now if Adam were to disobey God Adam's soul would die. The Living Soul is how we communicate with God, His Spirit comes into us and brings our soul to Everlasting Life. The Living Soul Is Righteous And Eternal. 

Adam as we all know ate from the one tree that God forbid him to eat from and Adams's soul died. Adam sinned. Sin is disobedience to what God commands. After Adam sinned the anger of God came upon the man and every man after. 

So God made a way for men to have a relationship with Him He gave them The Law to live by. If you keep The Law you are at Peace with God, of course when you break The Law you are at odds with God. God told them in His Law how to make up for their disobedience of His Law and to come back into right standing with Him. The Law is called The Law of Blessing and Cursing. If you keep The Law you will live, if not you die. Men live under The Law forever, because by keeping The Law you become Righteous. That is where men fail, because of their evil desires they want to sin. Men's evil desires come from their flesh. Men are flesh now because of Adam, remember his Soul Of Life has died. Even though Adam lived a long time in his flesh after he sinned, His Soul Of Righteousness was dead. We live lives in our flesh, but not in Righteousness as Adam did. Men keep on sinning because of our flesh. We want to fulfill the lusts of our flesh. The lust of the flesh is why our souls are dead and we are sinners. There is a war going on inside of us with our minds we know what we should do, but with our flesh, we want to do evil. It is a constant battle that most people just quit fighting and give up. That is why God had Jesus be born of a woman who was flesh. She was a woman who needed to be forgiven of her sins just like everyone else. She was a virgin that loved God and kept His Law the best that she could, but she still needed a Living Soul. Remember everyone is a sinner as Romans 5:12 states. 

Jesus is God in the form of flesh. God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, yet without sin. Jesus Kept The Righteousness Of The Law Perfectly. JESUS NEVER SINNED. Jesus came for one purpose and that was to make Peace between God and man once again. To Give Man A Living Soul Again. To restore man to the former position that Adam had in the Garden. From Adam until Jesus Christ man had to keep The Law themselves. Jesus came and kept The Law, for us, not Himself He Is Perfect already. When Jesus died on His Cross He took every sin from Adam to the last person on earth sin upon Himself. He died and took the punishment for them. He was separated from His Father like we are because of sin. He went into Hell a place of torment because of sin. Remember it was not because of His sins that He committed, it was our sins on Him that He did all of this. Why? Good question. Because God loves us and wants us to be able to Live Eternally with Him. So how does Jesus make us Living Souls again? Jesus took our sins and gave us His Righteousness. There was a swap, He took our sins and when we believe that He is The Son Of God and made our Peace with God we become Living Souls. We have Everlasting Life once again. We Become Righteous By Faith In Christ Jesus, His Spirit Comes Into Us To Live Inside Of Us, keeps and seals us until we go home to be with Him in Heaven.

So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God.

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.

1 John 2:16 

For All That Is In The World, The Lust Of The Flesh, And The Lust Of The Eyes, And The Pride Of Life, Is Not Of The Father, But Is Of The World.

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:

And In Hell He Lift Up His Eyes, Being In Torments, 

Acts 2:31-33

He Seeing This Before Spake Of The Resurrection Of Christ, That His Soul Was Not Left In Hell, Neither His Flesh Did See Corruption. This Jesus Hath God Raised Up, Whereof We All Are Witnesses. Therefore Being By The Right Hand Of God Exalted, And Having Received Of The Father The Promise Of The Holy Ghost, He Hath Shed Forth This, Which Ye Now See And Hear.

Colossians 2:13-14

And You, Being Dead In Your Sins And The Uncircumcision Of Your Flesh, Hath He Quickened Together With Him, Having Forgiven You All Trespasses; Blotting Out The Handwriting Of Ordinances That Was Against Us, Which Was Contrary To Us, And Took It Out Of The Way, Nailing It To His Cross;

Ephesians 2:14-16 

For He Is Our Peace, Who Hath Made Both One, And Hath Broken Down The Middle Wall Of Partition Between Us; Having Abolished In His Flesh The Enmity, Even The Law Of Commandments Contained In Ordinances; For To Make In Himself Of Twain One New Man, So Making Peace; And That He Might Reconcile Both Unto God In One Body By The Cross, Having Slain The Enmity Thereby:

John 3:15-18 

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.

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.

Romans 8:1-5 

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. 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.

Romans 8:9-11,14 

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. 

[14] For As Many As Are Led By The Spirit Of God, They Are The Sons Of God.

Romans 4:15 

BECAUSE THE LAW WORKETH WRATH: FOR WHERE NO LAW IS, THERE IS NO TRANSGRESSION.

John 3:6 

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

CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

THE CREATOR OF MAN, THIS WORLD, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS RIGHTEOUS. GOD IS MADE OF THREE, THE FATHER, HIS NAME IS JEHOVAH, THE SON, AND HIS NAME IS JESUS, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THESE THREE ARE ONE GOD BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE LIVING SPIRIT. GOD TOOK THE FORM OF A MAN AND HIS NAME IS JESUS TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.
