THE LAW, ISRAEL, AND FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS

LAW, ISRAEL, AND FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS 

Galatians 3:23-29 

But Before Faith Came, We Were Kept Under The Law, Shut Up Unto The Faith Which Should Afterwards Be Revealed. Wherefore The Law Was Our Schoolmaster To Bring Us Unto Christ, That We Might Be Justified By Faith. But After That Faith Is Come, We Are No Longer Under A Schoolmaster. For Ye Are All The Children Of God By Faith In Christ Jesus. For As Many Of You As Have Been Baptized Into Christ Have Put On Christ. THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, THERE IS NEITHER BOND NOR FREE, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE: FOR YE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. AND IF YE BE CHRIST'S, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE.

Galatians 4:21-31 

Tell Me, Ye That Desire To Be Under The Law, Do Ye Not Hear The Law? For It Is Written, That Abraham Had Two Sons, The One By A Bondmaid, The Other By A Freewoman. But He Who Was Of The Bondwoman Was Born After The Flesh; But He Of The Freewoman Was By Promise. Which Things Are An Allegory: For These Are The Two Covenants; The One From The Mount Sinai, Which Gendereth To Bondage, Which Is Agar. For This Agar Is Mount Sinai In Arabia, And Answereth To Jerusalem Which Now Is, And Is In Bondage With Her Children. But Jerusalem Which Is Above Is Free, Which Is The Mother of us all. for it is written, Rejoice, Thou Barren That Bearest Not; Break Forth And Cry, Thou That Travailest Not: For The Desolate Hath Many More Children Than She Which Hath An Husband. Now We, Brethren, As Isaac Was, Are The Children Of Promise. But As Then He That Was Born After The Flesh Persecuted Him That Was Born After The Spirit, Even So It Is Now. Nevertheless What Saith The Scripture? Cast Out The Bondwoman And Her Son: For The Son Of The Bondwoman Shall Not Be Heir With The Son Of The Freewoman. So Then, Brethren, We Are Not Children Of The Bondwoman, But Of The Free.

Romans 9:3-33, 10:1-4 

For I Could Wish That Myself Were Accursed From Christ For My Brethren, My Kinsmen According To The Flesh: WHO ARE ISRAELITES; TO WHOM PERTAINETH THE ADOPTION, AND THE GLORY, AND THE COVENANTS, AND THE GIVING OF THE LAW, AND THE SERVICE OF GOD, AND THE PROMISES; Whose Are The Fathers, And Of Whom As Concerning The Flesh Christ Came, Who Is Over All, God Blessed For Ever. Amen. Not As Though The Word Of God Hath Taken None Effect. FOR THEY ARE NOT ALL ISRAEL, WHICH ARE OF ISRAEL: NEITHER, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, ARE THEY ALL CHILDREN: BUT, IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED. That Is, They Which Are The Children Of The Flesh, These Are Not The Children Of God: BUT THE CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE ARE COUNTED FOR THE SEED. FOR THIS IS THE WORD OF PROMISE, At This Time Will I Come, And Sara Shall Have A Son. And Not Only This; But When Rebecca Also Had Conceived By One, Even By Our Father Isaac; (For The Children Being Not Yet Born, Neither Having Done Any Good Or Evil, That The Purpose Of God According To Election Might Stand, Not Of Works, But Of Him That Calleth;) It Was Said Unto Her, The Elder Shall Serve The Younger. As It Is Written, JACOB HAVE I LOVED, But Esau Have I Hated. What Shall We Say Then? Is There Unrighteousness With God? GOD FORBID. For He Saith To Moses, I Will Have Mercy On Whom I Will Have Mercy, And I Will Have Compassion On Whom I Will Have Compassion. So Then It Is Not Of Him That Willeth, Nor Of Him That Runneth, But Of God That Sheweth Mercy. For The Scripture Saith Unto Pharaoh, Even For This Same Purpose Have I Raised Thee Up, That I might Shew My Power In Thee, And That My Name Might Be Declared Throughout All The Earth. Therefore Hath He Mercy On Whom He Will Have Mercy, And Whom He Will He Hardeneth. Thou Wilt Say Then Unto Me, Why Doth He Yet Find Fault? For Who Hath Resisted His Will? Nay But, O Man, Who Art Thou That Repliest Against God? Shall The Thing Formed Say To Him That Formed It, Why Hast Thou Made Me Thus? Hath Not The Potter Power Over The Clay, Of The Same Lump To Make One Vessel Unto Honour, And Another Unto Dishonour? What If God, Willing To Shew His Wrath, And To Make His Power Known, Endured With Much Longsuffering The Vessels Of Wrath Fitted To Destruction: And That He Might Make Known The Riches Of His Glory On The Vessels Of Mercy, Which He Had Afore Prepared Unto Glory, Even Us, Whom He Hath Called, NOT OF THE JEWS ONLY, BUT ALSO OF THE GENTILES? As He Saith Also In Osee, I Will Call Them My People, Which Were Not My People; And Her Beloved, Which Was Not Beloved. And It Shall Come To Pass, That In The Place Where It Was Said Unto Them, Ye Are Not My People; There Shall They Be Called The Children Of The Living God. Esaias Also Crieth Concerning Israel, Though The Number Of The Children Of Israel Be As The Sand Of The Sea, A REMNANT SHALL BE SAVED: FOR HE WILL FINISH THE WORK, And Cut It Short In Righteousness: Because A Short Work Will The Lord Make Upon The Earth. And As Esaias Said Before, Except The Lord Of Sabaoth Had Left Us A Seed, We Had Been As Sodoma, And Been Made Like Unto Gomorrha. What Shall We Say Then? That The Gentiles, Which Followed Not After Righteousness, Have Attained To Righteousness, EVEN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH. BUT ISRAEL, WHICH FOLLOWED AFTER THE LAW OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, HATH NOT ATTAINED TO THE LAW OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Wherefore? Because THEY SOUGHT IT NOT BY FAITH, BUT AS IT WERE BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW. For They Stumbled At That Stumblingstone; As It Is Written, Behold, I Lay In Sion a Stumblingstone And Rock Of Offence: And Whosoever Believeth On Him Shall Not Be Ashamed. Brethren, My Heart's Desire And Prayer To God For Israel Is, That They Might Be Saved. 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 10:8-13 

But What Saith It? The Word Is Nigh Thee, Even In Thy Mouth, And In Thy Heart: That Is, The Word Of Faith, Which We Preach; That If Thou Shalt Confess With Thy Mouth The Lord Jesus, And Shalt Believe In Thine Heart That God Hath Raised Him From The Dead, Thou Shalt Be Saved. For With The Heart Man Believeth Unto Righteousness; And With The Mouth Confession Is Made Unto Salvation. For The Scripture Saith, Whosoever Believeth On Him Shall Not Be Ashamed. For There Is No Difference Between The Jew And The Greek: For The Same Lord Over All Is Rich Unto All That Call Upon Him. For Whosoever Shall Call Upon The Name Of The Lord Shall Be Saved.

2 Corinthians 3:11-18 

For If That Which Is Done Away Was Glorious, Much More That Which Remaineth Is Glorious. Seeing Then That We Have Such Hope, We Use Great Plainness Of Speech: And Not As Moses, Which Put A Vail Over His Face, That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Look To The End Of That Which Is Abolished: But Their Minds Were Blinded: For Until This Day Remaineth The Same Vail Untaken Away In The Reading Of The Old Testament; Which Vail Is Done Away In Christ. But Even Unto This Day, When Moses Is Read, The Vail Is Upon Their Heart. Nevertheless When It Shall Turn To The Lord, The Vail Shall Be Taken Away. 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.

2 Corinthians 3:3 

Forasmuch As Ye Are Manifestly Declared To Be The Epistle Of Christ Ministered By Us, Written Not With Ink, But With The Spirit Of The Living God; NOT IN TABLES OF STONE, But In Fleshy Tables Of The Heart. 

2 Corinthians 3:6-7 

Who Also Hath Made Us Able Ministers Of The New Testament; Not Of The Letter, But Of The Spirit: For The Letter Killeth, But The Spirit Giveth Life. But If The Ministration Of Death, Written And Engraven In Stones, Was Glorious, So That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Behold The Face Of Moses For The Glory Of His Countenance; Which Glory Was To Be Done Away:

Romans 10:19-21, 11:1-36

But I Say, Did Not Israel Know? First Moses Saith, I Will Provoke You To Jealousy By Them That Are No People, And By A Foolish Nation I Will Anger You. But Esaias Is Very Bold, And Saith, I Was Found Of Them That Sought Me Not; I Was Made Manifest Unto Them That Asked Not After Me. But To Israel He Saith, All Day Long I Have Stretched Forth My Hands Unto A Disobedient And Gainsaying People. I Say Then, HATH GOD CAST AWAY HIS PEOPLE? GOD FORBID. FOR I ALSO AM AN ISRAELITE, OF THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN. GOD HATH NOT CAST AWAY HIS PEOPLE WHICH HE FOREKNEW. WOT YE NOT WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAITH OF ELIAS? HOW HE MAKETH INTERCESSION TO GOD AGAINST ISRAEL, SAYING, LORD, THEY HAVE KILLED THY PROPHETS, AND DIGGED DOWN THINE ALTARS; AND I AM LEFT ALONE, AND THEY SEEK MY LIFE. BUT WHAT SAITH THE ANSWER OF GOD UNTO HIM? I HAVE RESERVED TO MYSELF SEVEN THOUSAND MEN, WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO THE IMAGE OF BAAL. EVEN SO THEN AT THIS PRESENT TIME ALSO THERE IS A REMNANT ACCORDING TO THE ELECTION OF GRACE. AND IF BY GRACE, THEN Is It No More Of Works: Otherwise Grace Is No More Grace. But If It Be Of Works, Then Is It No More Grace: Otherwise Work Is No More Work. What Then? Israel Hath Not Obtained That Which He Seeketh For; But The Election Hath Obtained It, And The Rest Were Blinded (According As It Is Written, God Hath Given Them The Spirit Of Slumber, Eyes That They Should Not See, And Ears That They Should Not Hear;) Unto This Day. And David Saith, Let Their Table Be Made A Snare, And A Trap, And A Stumblingblock, And A Recompence Unto Them: Let Their Eyes Be Darkened, That They May Not See, And Bow Down Their Back Alway. I Say Then, HAVE THEY STUMBLED THAT THEY SHOULD FALL? GOD FORBID: But Rather Through Their Fall Salvation Is Come Unto The Gentiles, For To Provoke Them To Jealousy. Now If The Fall Of Them Be The Riches Of The World, And The Diminishing Of Them The Riches Of The Gentiles; How Much More Their Fulness? For I Speak To You Gentiles, Inasmuch As I Am The Apostle Of The Gentiles, I Magnify Mine Office: If By Any Means I May Provoke To Emulation Them Which Are My Flesh, And Might Save Some Of Them. For If The Casting Away Of Them Be The Reconciling Of The World, What Shall The Receiving Of Them Be, But Life From The Dead? FOR IF THE FIRSTFRUIT BE HOLY, THE LUMP IS ALSO HOLY: AND IF THE ROOT BE HOLY, SO ARE THE BRANCHES. AND IF SOME OF THE Branches Be Broken Off, And Thou, Being A Wild Olive Tree, Wert Graffed In Among Them, And With Them Partakest Of The Root And Fatness Of The Olive Tree; Boast Not Against The Branches. But If Thou Boast, Thou Bearest Not The Root, But The Root Thee. Thou Wilt Say Then, The Branches Were Broken Off, That I Might Be Graffed In. Well; Because Of Unbelief They Were Broken Off, And Thou Standest By Faith. Be Not Highminded, But Fear: For If God Spared Not The Natural Branches, Take Heed Lest He Also Spare Not Thee. Behold Therefore The Goodness And Severity Of God: On Them Which Fell, Severity; But Toward Thee, Goodness, If Thou Continue In His Goodness: Otherwise Thou Also Shalt Be Cut Off. And They Also, If They Abide Not Still In Unbelief, Shall Be Graffed In: For God Is Able To Graff Them In Again. For If Thou Wert Cut Out Of The Olive Tree Which Is Wild By Nature, And Wert Graffed Contrary To Nature Into A Good Olive Tree: HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THESE, WHICH BE THE NATURAL BRANCHES, BE GRAFFED INTO THEIR OWN OLIVE TREE? For I WOULD NOT, BRETHREN, THAT YE SHOULD BE IGNORANT OF THIS MYSTERY, LEST YE SHOULD BE WISE IN YOUR OWN CONCEITS; THAT BLINDNESS IN PART IS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL, UNTIL THE FULNESS OF THE GENTILES BE COME IN. AND SO ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED: AS IT IS WRITTEN, THERE SHALL COME OUT OF SION THE DELIVERER, AND SHALL TURN AWAY UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB: FOR THIS IS MY COVENANT UNTO THEM, WHEN I SHALL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS. As Concerning The Gospel, They Are Enemies For Your Sakes: BUT AS TOUCHING THE ELECTION, THEY ARE BELOVED FOR THE FATHERS' SAKES. FOR THE GIFTS AND CALLING OF GOD ARE WITHOUT REPENTANCE. For As Ye In Times Past Have Not Believed God, Yet Have Now Obtained Mercy Through Their Unbelief: Even So Have These Also Now Not Believed, That Through Your Mercy THEY ALSO MAY OBTAIN MERCY. For God Hath Concluded Them All In Unbelief, That He Might Have Mercy Upon All. O The Depth Of The Riches Both Of The Wisdom And Knowledge Of God! How Unsearchable Are His Judgments, And His Ways Past Finding Out! For Who Hath Known The Mind Of The Lord? Or Who Hath Been His Counsellor? Or Who Hath First Given To Him, And It Shall Be Recompensed Unto Him Again? For Of Him, And Through Him, And To Him, Are All Things: To Whom Be Glory For Ever. Amen.

Revelation 14:1-5 

And I Looked, And, Lo, A Lamb Stood On The Mount Sion, And With Him An Hundred Forty And Four Thousand, Having His Father's Name Written In Their Foreheads. And I Heard A Voice From Heaven, As The Voice Of Many Waters, And As The Voice Of A Great Thunder: And I Heard The Voice Of Harpers Harping With Their Harps: And They Sung As It Were A New Song Before The Throne, And Before The Four Beasts, And The Elders: And No Man Could Learn That Song But The Hundred And Forty And Four Thousand, Which Were Redeemed From The Earth. These Are They Which Were Not Defiled With Women; For They Are Virgins. These Are THEY WHICH FOLLOW THE LAMB WHITHERSOEVER HE GOETH. THESE WERE REDEEMED FROM AMONG MEN, BEING THE FIRSTFRUITS UNTO GOD AND TO THE LAMB. And In Their Mouth Was Found No Guile: For They Are Without Fault Before The Throne Of God.

Revelation 7:1-14 

And After These Things I Saw Four Angels Standing On The Four Corners Of The Earth, Holding The Four Winds Of The Earth, That The Wind Should Not Blow On The Earth, Nor On The Sea, Nor On Any Tree. And I Saw Another Angel Ascending From The East, Having The Seal Of The Living God: And He CRIED With A Loud Voice To The Four Angels, To Whom It Was Given To Hurt The Earth And The Sea, Saying, Hurt Not The Earth, Neither The Sea, Nor The Trees, Till We Have Sealed The Servants Of Our God In Their Foreheads. And I Heard THE NUMBER OF THEM WHICH WERE SEALED: AND THERE WERE SEALED AN HUNDRED AND FORTY AND FOUR THOUSAND OF ALL THE TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. OF THE TRIBE OF JUDA Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF REUBEN Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. Of THE TRIBE OF GAD Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF ASER Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF NEPTHALIM Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF MANASSES Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF SIMEON Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF LEVI Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF ISSACHAR Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF ZABULON Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF JOSEPH Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN Were Sealed Twelve Thousand. After This I Beheld, And, Lo, A Great Multitude, Which No Man Could Number, Of All Nations, And Kindreds, And People, And Tongues, Stood Before The Throne, And Before The Lamb, Clothed With White Robes, And Palms In Their Hands; And Cried With A Loud Voice, Saying, Salvation To Our God Which Sitteth Upon The Throne, And Unto The Lamb. And All The Angels Stood Round About The Throne, And About The Elders And The Four Beasts, And Fell Before The Throne On Their Faces, And Worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, And Glory, And Wisdom, And Thanksgiving, And Honour, And Power, And Might, Be Unto Our God For Ever And Ever. Amen. And one of the elders Answered, Saying Unto Me, What Are These Which Are Arrayed In White Robes? And Whence Came They? And I Said Unto Him, Sir, Thou Knowest. And He Said To Me, These Are They Which Came Out Of Great Tribulation, And Have Washed Their Robes, And Made Them White In The Blood Of The Lamb.

Romans 11:26-27 

AND SO ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED: AS IT IS WRITTEN, THERE SHALL COME OUT OF SION THE DELIVERER, AND SHALL TURN AWAY UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB: FOR THIS IS MY COVENANT UNTO THEM, WHEN I SHALL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.

Hebrews 8:13 

IN THAT HE SAITH, A NEW COVENANT, HE HATH MADE THE FIRST OLD. NOW THAT WHICH DECAYETH AND WAXETH OLD IS READY TO VANISH AWAY.

IT WAS "THE LAW" OF WORK THAT IS REPLACED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS!!! THE LAW IS THE REASON CHRIST JESUS CAME IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Galatians 4:4-5 

But When The Fulness Of The Time Was Come, God Sent Forth His Son, Made Of A Woman, Made Under The Law, TO REDEEM THEM THAT WERE UNDER THE LAW, That We Might Receive The Adoption Of Sons.

JUST BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IS NO MORE JEW OR GREEK, MALE NOR FEMALE, DOES NOT MEAN I AM NOT STILL A FEMALE, IT MEANS THAT I MUST BE SAVED BY FAITH JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES!!!

ISRAEL IS STILL THE ELECT OF GOD!!! 

ISRAEL IS STILL CALLED AND CHOSEN! 

Think about why people are trying to get rid of Israel so badly,

IF YOU GET RID OF ISRAEL, THEN YOU CAN GET RID OF CHRIST JESUS TOO. DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT TO YOU? GOD FORBID!!! Satan, When In The Garden Took The Word Of God And Twisted It. Satan Twisted The Word Of God To Intentionally Confuse Eve, And It Worked. Satan Is Still Twisting The Word Of God And Confusing The People. 

DO NOT BE DECEIVED,

READ YOUR BIBLE FOR YOURSELF!!!

BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE

BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE

Psalm 100:1-5 

Make A Joyful Noise Unto The LORD, All Ye Lands. Serve The LORD With Gladness: Come Before His Presence With Singing. Know Ye That The LORD He Is God: It Is He That Hath Made Us, And Not We Ourselves; We Are His People, And The Sheep Of His Pasture. Enter Into His Gates With Thanksgiving, And Into His Courts With Praise: Be Thankful Unto Him, And BLESS HIS NAME. FOR THE LORD IS GOOD; HIS MERCY IS EVERLASTING; AND HIS TRUTH ENDURETH TO ALL GENERATIONS.

2 Timothy 2:1-4 

THOU THEREFORE, MY SON, BE STRONG IN THE GRACE THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS. And The Things That Thou Hast Heard Of Me Among Many Witnesses, The Same Commit Thou To Faithful Men, Who Shall Be Able To Teach Others Also. Thou Therefore Endure Hardness, As A Good Soldier Of Jesus Christ. No Man That Warreth Entangleth Himself With The Affairs Of This Life; That He May Please Him Who Hath Chosen Him To Be A Soldier.

Hebrews 10:14-23 

FOR BY ONE OFFERING HE HATH PERFECTED FOR EVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED. Whereof The Holy Ghost Also Is A Witness To Us: For After That He Had Said Before, This Is The Covenant That I Will Make Withh Them After Those Days, Saith The Lord, I Will Put My Laws Into Their Hearts, And In Their Minds Will I Write Them; And Their Sins And Iniquities Will I Remember No More. Now Where Remission Of These Is, There Is No More Offering For Sin. Having Therefore, Brethren, Boldness To Enter Into The Holiest By The Blood Of Jesus, By A New And Living Way, Which He Hath Consecrated For Us, Through The Veil, That Is To Say, His Flesh; And Having An High Priest Over The House Of God; Let Us Draw Near With A True Heart In Full Assurance Of Faith, Having Our Hearts Sprinkled From An Evil Conscience, And Our Bodies Washed With Pure Water. Let Us Hold Fast The Profession Of Our Faith Without Wavering; (For He Is Faithful That Promised;)

Joshua 1:9 

Have Not I Commanded Thee? BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE; BE NOT AFRAID, NEITHER BE THOU DISMAYED: FOR THE LORD THY GOD IS WITH THEE WHITHERSOEVER THOU GOEST.

BLESS HIS NAME. FOR THE LORD IS GOOD; HIS MERCY IS EVERLASTING; AND HIS TRUTH ENDURETH TO ALL GENERATIONS.

KNOW YE NOT

KNOW YE NOT

Romans 6:1-11 

What Shall We Say Then? Shall We Continue In Sin, That Grace May Abound? God Forbid. How Shall We, That Are Dead To Sin, Live Any Longer Therein? KNOW YE NOT, THAT SO MANY OF US AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST WERE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH? Therefore We Are Buried With Him By Baptism Into Death: That Like As Christ Was Raised Up From The Dead By The Glory Of The Father, Even SO WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE. For If We Have Been Planted Together In The Likeness Of His Death, WE SHALL BE ALSO IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION: KNOWING THIS, THAT OUR OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, THAT THE BODY OF SIN MIGHT BE DESTROYED, THAT HENCEFORTH WE SHOULD NOT SERVE SIN. FOR HE THAT IS DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN. NOW IF WE BE DEAD WITH CHRIST, WE BELIEVE THAT WE SHALL ALSO LIVE WITH HIM: KNOWING THAT CHRIST BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD DIETH NO MORE; DEATH HATH NO MORE DOMINION OVER HIM. FOR IN THAT HE DIED, HE DIED UNTO SIN ONCE: BUT IN THAT HE LIVETH, HE LIVETH UNTO GOD. LIKEWISE RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Colossians 2:8-23,3:1-10

Beware Lest Any Man Spoil You Through Philosophy And Vain Deceit, After The Tradition Of Men, After The Rudiments Of The World, And Not After Christ. For In Him Dwelleth All The Fulness Of The Godhead Bodily. And YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, Which Is The Head Of All Principality And Power: In Whom Also Ye Are Circumcised With The Circumcision Made Without Hands, In Putting Off The Body Of The Sins Of The Flesh By The Circumcision Of Christ: Buried With Him In Baptism, Wherein Also Ye Are Risen With Him Through The Faith Of God, Who Hath Raised Him From The Dead. 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; And Having Spoiled Principalities And Powers, He Made A Shew Of Them Openly, Triumphing Over Them In It.

Let No Man Therefore Judge You In Meat, Or In Drink, Or In Respect Of An Holyday, Or Of The New Moon, Or Of The Sabbath Days: Which Are A Shadow Of Things To Come; But The Body Is Of Christ. Let No Man Beguile You Of Your Reward In A Voluntary Humility And Worshipping Of Angels, Intruding Into Those Things Which He Hath Not Seen, Vainly Puffed Up By His Fleshly Mind, And Not Holding The Head, From Which All The Body By Joints And Bands Having Nourishment Ministered, And Knit Together, Increaseth With The Increase Of God. Wherefore If Ye Be Dead With Christ From The Rudiments Of The World, Why, As Though Living In The World, Are Ye Subject To Ordinances, (Touch Not; Taste Not; Handle Not; Which All Are To Perish With The Using;) After The Commandments And Doctrines Of Men? Which Things Have Indeed A Shew Of Wisdom In Will Worship, And Humility, And Neglecting Of The Body; Not In Any Honour To The Satisfying Of The Flesh. If Ye Then Be Risen With Christ, Seek Those Things Which Are Above, Where Christ Sitteth On The Right Hand Of God. Set Your Affection On Things Above, Not On Things On The Earth. FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD. When Christ, Who Is Our Life, Shall Appear, Then Shall Ye Also Appear With Him In Glory. 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:

KNOW YE NOT, THAT SO MANY OF US AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST WERE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH? SO WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE. WE HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH, WE SHALL BE ALSO IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION: KNOWING THIS, THAT OUR OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, THAT THE BODY OF SIN MIGHT BE DESTROYED, THAT HENCEFORTH WE SHOULD NOT SERVE SIN. FOR HE THAT IS DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN. HE DIED, HE DIED UNTO SIN ONCE: BUT IN THAT HE LIVETH, HE LIVETH UNTO GOD. LIKEWISE RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM. FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD, 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:

THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALT SURELY DIE

THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALT SURELY DIE

Genesis 2:17 

But Of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil, Thou Shalt Not Eat Of It: For In The Day That THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALT SURELY DIE.

Romans 7:24 

O Wretched Man That I Am! Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death?

John 316

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

John 3:16-21 

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.

2 Timothy 1:10 

BUT IS NOW MADE MANIFEST BY THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH ABOLISHED DEATH, AND HATH BROUGHT LIFE AND IMMORTALITY TO LIGHT THROUGH THE GOSPEL:

THE WRATH OF GOD UPON THE EARTH.

Revelation 6:17 

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

Revelation 14:10-11 

The Same Shall Drink Of The Wine Of The Wrath Of God, Which Is Poured Out Without Mixture Into The Cup Of His Indignation; And He Shall Be Tormented With Fire And Brimstone In The Presence Of The Holy Angels, And In The Presence Of The Lamb: And The Smoke Of Their Torment Ascendeth Up For Ever And Ever: And They Have No Rest Day Nor Night, Who Worship The Beast And His Image, And Whosoever Receiveth The Mark Of His Name.

Revelation 15:1 

And I Saw Another Sign In Heaven, Great And Marvellous, Seven Angels Having The Seven Last Plagues; For In Them is Filled Up The Wrath Of God.

Revelation 16:1 

AND I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OUT OF THE TEMPLE SAYING TO THE SEVEN ANGELS, GO YOUR WAYS, AND POUR OUT THE VIALS OF THE WRATH OF GOD UPON THE EARTH.

SAVIOUR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD.

Romans 5:8-10 

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.

Ephesians 5:2 

And Walk In Love, As Christ Also Hath Loved Us, And Hath Given Himself For Us An Offering And A Sacrifice To God For A Sweetsmelling Savour.

Luke 22:44 

And Being In An Agony He Prayed More Earnestly: And His Sweat Was As It Were Great Drops Of Blood Falling Down To The Ground.

Matthew 27:45-46 

Now From The Sixth Hour There Was Darkness Over All The Land Unto The Ninth Hour. And About The Ninth Hour JESUS CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI? THAT IS TO SAY, MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?

Acts 2:25-32 

For David Speaketh Concerning Him, I Foresaw The Lord Always Before My Face, For He Is On My Right Hand, That I Should Not Be Moved: Therefore Did My Heart Rejoice, And My Tongue Was Glad; Moreover Also My Flesh Shall Rest In Hope: BECAUSE THOU WILT NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN HELL, Neither Wilt Thou Suffer Thine Holy One To See Corruption. Thou Hast Made Known To Me The Ways Of Life; Thou Shalt Make Me Full Of Joy With Thy Countenance. Men AND BRETHREN, LET ME FREELY SPEAK UNTO You Of The Patriarch David, That He Is Both Dead And Buried, And His Sepulchre Is With Us Unto This Day. THEREFORE BEING A PROPHET, And Knowing That God Had Sworn With An Oath To Him, That Of The Fruit Of His Loins, According To The Flesh, He Would Raise Up Christ To Sit On His Throne; 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.

Hebrews 10:12 

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

1 John 4:14-17 

And We Have Seen And Do Testify That The Father Sent The Son To Be The Saviour Of The World. Whosoever Shall Confess That Jesus Is The Son Of God, God Dwelleth In Him, And He In God. And We Have Known And Believed The Love That God Hath To Us. God Is Love; And He That Dwelleth In Love Dwelleth In God, And God In Him. HEREIN IS OUR LOVE MADE PERFECT, THAT WE MAY HAVE BOLDNESS IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.

Luke 2:11 

FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD.

Romans 6:22-23 

BUT NOW BEING MADE FREE FROM SIN, AND BECOME SERVANTS TO GOD, YE HAVE YOUR FRUIT UNTO HOLINESS, AND THE END EVERLASTING LIFE. FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Romans 6:3-11 

KNOW YE NOT, THAT SO MANY OF US AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST WERE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH? Therefore We Are Buried With Him By Baptism Into Death: That Like As Christ Was Raised Up From The Dead By The Glory Of The Father, Even So We Also Should Walk In Newness Of Life. For If We Have Been Planted Together In The Likeness Of His Death, We Shall Be Also In The Likeness Of His Resurrection: Knowing This, That Our Old Man Is Crucified With Him, That The Body Of Sin Might Be Destroyed, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin. Now If We Be Dead With Christ, We Believe That We Shall Also Live With Him: Knowing That Christ Being Raised From The Dead Dieth No More; Death Hath No More Dominion Over Him. For In That He Died, HE DIED UNTO SIN ONCE: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. LIKEWISE RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

HIS MERCY HE SAVED US FROM WRATH

HIS MERCY HE SAVED US FROM WRATH 

John 3:36 

HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE: And He That Believeth Not The Son Shall Not See Life; BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDETH ON HIM.

Romans 4:25 

WHO WAS DELIVERED FOR OUR OFFENCES, AND WAS RAISED AGAIN FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION.

Isaiah 53:5 

But He Was Wounded For Our Transgressions, He Was Bruised For Our Iniquities: The Chastisement Of Our Peace Was Upon Him; And With His Stripes We Are Healed.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 

And To Wait For His Son From Heaven, Whom He Raised From The Dead, Even Jesus, Which Delivered Us From The Wrath To Come.

Titus 3:4-7 

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.

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 5:1-2 

Therefore BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST: BY WHOM ALSO WE HAVE ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, AND REJOICE IN HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD.

1 Thessalonians 5:6-9 

Therefore Let Us Not Sleep, As Do Others; But Let Us Watch And Be Sober. For They That Sleep Sleep In The Night; And They That Be Drunken Are Drunken In The Night. But Let Us, Who Are Of The Day, Be Sober, Putting On The Breastplate Of Faith And Love; And For An Helmet, The Hope Of Salvation. FOR GOD HATH NOT APPOINTED US TO WRATH, BUT TO OBTAIN SALVATION BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

 JESUS CHRIST SAVED US FROM THE WRATH OF GOD, THIS IS WHY JESUS CHRIST IS CALLED OUR SAVIOUR!!!

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

SPIRITUAL WARFARE 

John 3:3

Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

John 3:6 

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

Romans 8:8-10 

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.

Ephesians 6:10-18 

FINALLY, MY BRETHREN, BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, THAT YE MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL. For We Wrestle Not Against Flesh And Blood, But Against Principalities, Against Powers, Against The Rulers Of The Darkness Of This World, Against Spiritual Wickedness In High Places. WHEREFORE TAKE UNTO YOU THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, That Ye May Be Able To Withstand In The Evil Day, And Having Done All, To Stand. STAND THEREFORE, HAVING YOUR LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, AND HAVING ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND YOUR FEET SHOD WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; ABOVE ALL, TAKING THE SHIELD OF FAITH, WHEREWITH YE SHALL BE ABLE TO QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. AND TAKE THE HELMET OF SALVATION, AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD: PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION IN THE SPIRIT, AND WATCHING THEREUNTO WITH ALL PERSEVERANCE AND SUPPLICATION FOR ALL SAINTS;

1 Corinthians 2:9-16 

But As It Is Written, Eye Hath Not Seen, Nor Ear Heard, Neither Have Entered Into The Heart Of Man, The Things Which God Hath Prepared For Them That Love Him. But God Hath Revealed Them Unto Us By His Spirit: For The Spirit Searcheth All Things, Yea, The Deep Things Of God. For What Man Knoweth The Things Of A Man, Save The Spirit Of Man Which Is In Him? Even So The Things Of God Knoweth No Man, But The Spirit Of God. 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. But He That Is Spiritual Judgeth All Things, Yet He Himself Is Judged Of No Man. For Who Hath Known The Mind Of The Lord, That He May Instruct Him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.

Romans 8:6 

For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE.

Galatians 5:24-25 

AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS. IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

IF YOU ARE BORN AGAIN, THEN YOU ARE SPIRIT AND ARE IN A SPIRITUAL WARFARE, NOT A WAR AGAINST THE FLESH !!!

PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE LAW VS GRACE

PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE LAW VS GRACE 

John 8:1-12 

Jesus Went Unto The Mount Of Olives. And Early In The Morning He Came Again Into The Temple, And All The People Came Unto Him; And He Sat Down, And Taught Them. AND THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES BROUGHT UNTO HIM A WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY; And When They Had Set Her In The Midst, They Say Unto Him, Master, THIS WOMAN WAS TAKEN IN ADULTERY, IN THE VERY ACT. NOW MOSES IN THE LAW COMMANDED US, THAT SUCH SHOULD BE STONED: But WHAT SAYEST THOU? This They Said, Tempting Him, That They Might Have To Accuse Him. But Jesus Stooped Down, And With His Finger Wrote On The Ground, As Though He Heard Them Not. So When They Continued Asking Him, He Lifted Up Himself, And Said Unto Them, He That Is Without Sin Among You, Let Him First Cast A Stone At Her. And Again He Stooped Down, And Wrote On The Ground. And They Which Heard It, Being Convicted By Their Own Conscience, Went Out One By One, Beginning At The Eldest, Even Unto The Last: And JESUS WAS LEFT ALONE, AND THE WOMAN STANDING IN THE MIDST. WHEN JESUS HAD LIFTED UP HIMSELF, AND SAW NONE BUT THE WOMAN, HE SAID UNTO HER, WOMAN, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? Hath No Man Condemned Thee? SHE SAID, NO MAN, LORD. AND JESUS SAID UNTO HER, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, AND SIN NO MORE. THEN SPAKE JESUS AGAIN UNTO THEM, SAYING, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: HE THAT FOLLOWETH ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT SHALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.

Romans 7:1-6

Know Ye Not, Brethren, (For I Speak To Them That Know The Law,) How That The Law Hath Dominion Over A Man As Long As He Liveth? For The Woman Which Hath An Husband Is Bound By The Law To Her Husband So Long As He Liveth; But If The Husband Be Dead, She Is Loosed From The Law Of Her Husband. So Then If, While Her Husband Liveth, She Be Married To Another Man, She Shall Be Called An Adulteress: But If Her Husband Be Dead, She Is Free From That Law; So That She Is No Adulteress, Though She Be Married To Another Man.

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.

2 Corinthians 3:5-12 

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

Romans 3:20-22

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:

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.

Galatians 4:21-31

TELL ME, YE THAT DESIRE TO BE UNDER THE LAW, DO YE NOT HEAR THE LAW? For It Is Written, That Abraham Had Two Sons, The One By A Bondmaid, The Other By A Freewoman. But He Who Was Of The Bondwoman Was Born After The Flesh; BUT HE OF THE FREEWOMAN WAS BY PROMISE. WHICH THINGS ARE AN ALLEGORY: FOR THESE ARE THE TWO COVENANTS; THE ONE FROM THE MOUNT SINAI, Which Gendereth To Bondage, Which Is Agar. For This Agar Is Mount Sinai In Arabia, And Answereth To Jerusalem Which Now Is, And Is In Bondage With Her Children. BUT JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE IS FREE, WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF US ALL. For It Is Written, Rejoice, Thou Barren That Bearest Not; Break Forth And Cry, Thou That Travailest Not: For The Desolate Hath Many More Children Than She Which Hath An Husband. NOW WE, BRETHREN, AS ISAAC WAS, ARE THE CHILDREN OF PROMISE. But As Then He That Was Born After The Flesh Persecuted Him That Was Born After The Spirit, Even So It Is Now. NEVERTHELESS WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURE? CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON: FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREEWOMAN. SO THEN, BRETHREN, WE ARE NOT CHILDREN OF THE BONDWOMAN, BUT OF THE FREE.

THE WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE LAW, AND OF GRACE. THE LAW KILLS, BUT GRACE THROUGH FAITH OF CHRIST JESUS BRINGS LIFE ETERNAL!!!! THE LAW BRINGS US TO GRACE!

Galatians 3:23-26

BUT BEFORE FAITH CAME, WE WERE KEPT UNDER THE LAW, SHUT UP UNTO THE FAITH WHICH SHOULD AFTERWARDS BE REVEALED. WHEREFORE THE LAW WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US UNTO CHRIST, THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH. BUT AFTER THAT FAITH IS COME, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER. FOR YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.

Galatians 5:24-25 

AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS. IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

Romans 8:1-2 

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.

WE ARE IN OUR WILDERNESS TIME NOW

WE ARE IN OUR WILDERNESS TIME NOW

Exodus 32:1-35 

And When The People Saw That Moses Delayed To Come Down Out Of The Mount, The People Gathered Themselves Together Unto Aaron, And Said Unto Him, Up, Make Us gods, Which Shall Go Before Us; For As For This Moses, The Man That Brought Us Up Out Of The Land Of Egypt, We Wot Not What Is Become Of Him. And Aaron Said Unto Them, Break Off The Golden Earrings, Which Are In The Ears Of Your Wives, Of Your Sons, And Of Your Daughters, And Bring Them Unto Me. And All The People Brake Off The Golden Earrings Which Were In Their Ears, And Brought Them Unto Aaron. And He Received Them At Their Hand, And Fashioned It With A Graving Tool, After He Had Made It A Molten Calf: And They Said, These Be Thy gods, O Israel, Which Brought Thee Up Out Of The Land Of Egypt. And When Aaron Saw It, He Built An Altar Before It; And Aaron Made Proclamation, And Said, To Morrow Is A Feast To The LORD. And They Rose Up Early On The Morrow, And Offered Burnt Offerings, And Brought Peace Offerings; And The People Sat Down To Eat And To Drink, And Rose Up To Play. And The LORD Said Unto Moses, Go, Get Thee Down; For Thy People, Which Thou Broughtest Out Of The Land Of Egypt, Have Corrupted Themselves: They Have Turned Aside Quickly Out Of The Way Which I Commanded Them: They Have Made Them A Molten Calf, And Have Worshipped It, And Have Sacrificed Thereunto, And Said, These Be Thy gods, O Israel, Which Have Brought Thee Up Out Of The Land Of Egypt. And The LORD Said Unto Moses, I Have Seen This People, And, Behold, It Is A Stiffnecked People: Now Therefore Let Me Alone, That My Wrath May Wax Hot Against Them, And That I May Consume Them: And I Will Make Of Thee A Great Nation. And Moses Besought The LORD His God, And Said, LORD, Why Doth Thy Wrath Wax Hot Against Thy People, Which Thou Hast Brought Forth Out Of The Land Of Egypt With Great Power, And With A Mighty Hand? Wherefore Should The Egyptians Speak, And Say, For Mischief Did He Bring Them Out, To Slay Them In The Mountains, And To Consume Them From The Face Of The Earth? Turn From Thy Fierce Wrath, And Repent Of This Evil Against Thy People. Remember Abraham, Isaac, And Israel, Thy Servants, To Whom Thou Swarest By Thine Own Self, And Saidst Unto Them, I Will Multiply Your Seed As The Stars Of Heaven, And All This Land That I Have Spoken Of Will I Give Unto Your Seed, And They Shall Inherit It For Ever. And The LORD Repented Of The Evil Which He Thought To Do Unto His People. 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. And When Joshua Heard The Noise Of The People As They Shouted, He Said Unto Moses, There Is A Noise Of War In The Camp. And He Said, It Is Not The Voice Of Them That Shout For Mastery, Neither Is It The Voice Of Them That Cry For Being Overcome: But The Noise Of Them That Sing Do I Hear. 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. And He Took The Calf Which They Had Made, And Burnt It In The Fire, And Ground It To Powder, And Strawed It Upon The Water, And Made The Children Of Israel Drink Of It. And Moses Said Unto Aaron, What Did This People Unto Thee, That Thou Hast Brought So Great A Sin Upon Them? And Aaron Said, Let Not The Anger Of My Lord Wax Hot: Thou Knowest The People, That They Are Set On Mischief. For They Said Unto Me, Make Us gods, Which Shall Go Before Us: For As For This Moses, The Man That Brought Us Up Out Of The Land Of Egypt, We Wot Not What Is Become Of Him. And I Said Unto Them, Whosoever Hath Any Gold, Let Them Break It Off. So They Gave It Me: Then I Cast It Into The Fire, And There Came Out This Calf. And when Moses Saw That The People Were Naked; (For Aaron Had Made Them Naked Unto Their Shame Among Their Enemies:) Then Moses Stood In The Gate Of The Camp, And Said, Who Is On The LORD'S Side? Let Him Come Unto Me. And All The Sons Of Levi Gathered Themselves Together Unto Him. And He Said Unto Them, Thus Saith The LORD God Of Israel, Put Every Man His Sword By His Side, And Go In And Out From Gate To Gate Throughout The Camp, And Slay Every Man His Brother, And Every Man His Companion, And Every Man His Neighbour. And The Children Of Levi Did According To The Word Of Moses: And There Fell Of The People That Day About Three Thousand Men. For Moses Had Said, Consecrate Yourselves To Day To The LORD, Even Every Man Upon His Son, And Upon His Brother; That He May Bestow Upon You A Blessing This Day. And It Came To Pass On The Morrow, That Moses Said Unto The People, Ye Have Sinned A Great Sin: And Now I Will Go Up Unto The LORD; Peradventure I Shall Make An Atonement For Your Sin. 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.

Hebrews 3:7-19, 4:1-16

Wherefore (As The Holy Ghost Saith, To Day If Ye Will Hear His Voice, Harden Not Your Hearts, As In The Provocation, In The Day Of Temptation In The Wilderness: When Your Fathers Tempted Me, Proved Me, And Saw My Works Forty Years. Wherefore I Was Grieved With That Generation, And Said, They Do Alway Err In Their Heart; And They Have Not Known My Ways. So I Sware In My Wrath, They Shall Not Enter Into My Rest.) Take Heed, Brethren, Lest There Be In Any Of You An Evil Heart Of Unbelief, In Departing From The Living God. But Exhort One Another Daily, While It Is Called To Day; Lest Any Of You Be Hardened Through The Deceitfulness Of Sin. For We Are Made Partakers Of Christ, If We Hold The Beginning Of Our Confidence Stedfast Unto The End; While It Is Said, To Day If Ye Will Hear His Voice, Harden Not Your Hearts, As In The Provocation. For Some, When They Had Heard, Did Provoke: Howbeit Not All That Came Out Of Egypt By Moses. But With Whom Was He Grieved Forty Years? Was It Not With Them That Had Sinned, Whose Carcases Fell In The Wilderness? And To Whom Sware He That They Should Not Enter Into His Rest, But To Them That Believed Not? So We See That They Could Not Enter In Because Of Unbelief. Let Us Therefore Fear, Lest, A Promise Being Left Us Of Entering Into His Rest, Any Of You Should Seem To Come Short Of It. FOR UNTO US WAS THE GOSPEL PREACHED, AS WELL AS UNTO THEM: BUT THE WORD PREACHED DID NOT PROFIT THEM, NOT BEING MIXED WITH FAITH IN THEM THAT HEARD IT. FOR WE WHICH HAVE BELIEVED DO ENTER INTO REST, AS HE SAID, AS I Have Sworn In My Wrath, If They Shall Enter Into My Rest: Although The Works Were Finished From The Foundation Of The World. For He Spake In A Certain Place Of The Seventh Day On This Wise, And God Did Rest The Seventh Day From All His Works. And In This Place Again, If They Shall Enter Into My Rest. Seeing Therefore It Remaineth That Some Must Enter Therein, And They To Whom It Was First Preached Entered Not In Because Of Unbelief: Again, He Limiteth A Certain Day, Saying In David, To Day, After So Long A Time; As It Is Said, To Day If Ye Will Hear His Voice, Harden Not Your Hearts. For If Jesus Had Given Them Rest, Then Would He Not Afterward Have Spoken Of Another Day. There Remaineth Therefore A Rest To The People Of God. For He That Is Entered Into His Rest, He Also Hath Ceased From His Own Works, As God Did From His. Let Us Labour Therefore To Enter Into That Rest, Lest Any Man Fall After The Same Example Of Unbelief. For The Word Of God Is Quick, And Powerful, And Sharper Than Any Twoedged Sword, Piercing Even To The Dividing Asunder Of Soul And Spirit, And Of The Joints And Marrow, And Is A Discerner Of The Thoughts And Intents Of The Heart. Neither Is There Any Creature That Is Not Manifest In His Sight: But All Things Are Naked And Opened Unto The Eyes Of Him With Whom We Have To Do. SEEING THEN THAT WE HAVE A GREAT HIGH PRIEST, THAT IS PASSED INTO THE HEAVENS, JESUS THE SON OF GOD, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. For We Have Not An High Priest Which Cannot Be Touched With The Feeling Of Our Infirmities; But Was In All Points Tempted Like As We Are, Yet Without Sin. Let Us Therefore Come Boldly Unto The Throne Of Grace, That We May Obtain Mercy, And Find Grace To Help In Time Of Need.

Numbers 14:1-9 

And All The Congregation Lifted Up Their Voice, And Cried; And The People Wept That Night. And All The Children Of Israel Murmured Against Moses And Against Aaron: And The Whole Congregation Said Unto Them, Would God That We Had Died In The Land Of Egypt! Or Would God We Had Died In This Wilderness! And Wherefore Hath The LORD Brought Us Unto This Land, To Fall By The Sword, That Our Wives And Our Children Should Be A Prey? Were It Not Better For Us To Return Into Egypt? And They Said One To Another, Let Us Make A Captain, And Let Us Return Into Egypt. Then Moses And Aaron Fell On Their Faces Before All The Assembly Of The Congregation Of The Children Of Israel. And Joshua The Son Of Nun, And Caleb The Son Of Jephunneh, Which Were Of Them That Searched The Land, Rent Their Clothes: And They Spake Unto All The Company Of The Children Of Israel, Saying, THE LAND, WHICH WE PASSED THROUGH TO SEARCH IT, IS AN EXCEEDING GOOD LAND. IF THE LORD DELIGHT IN US, THEN HE WILL BRING US INTO THIS LAND, AND GIVE IT US; A LAND WHICH FLOWETH WITH MILK AND HONEY. ONLY REBEL NOT YE AGAINST THE LORD, NEITHER FEAR YE THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND; FOR THEY ARE BREAD FOR US: THEIR DEFENCE IS DEPARTED FROM THEM, AND THE LORD IS WITH US: FEAR THEM NOT.

2 Peter 3:3-15 

Knowing This First, That There Shall Come In The Last Days Scoffers, Walking After Their Own Lusts, And SAYING, WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING? FOR SINCE THE FATHERS FELL ASLEEP, ALL THINGS CONTINUE AS THEY WERE FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION.

For This They Willingly Are Ignorant Of, That By The Word Of God The Heavens Were Of Old, And The Earth Standing Out Of The Water And In The Water: Whereby The World That Then Was, Being Overflowed With Water, Perished: But The Heavens And The Earth, Which Are Now, By The Same Word Are Kept In Store, Reserved Unto Fire Against The Day Of Judgment And Perdition Of Ungodly Men. BUT, BELOVED, BE NOT IGNORANT OF THIS ONE THING, THAT ONE DAY IS WITH THE LORD AS A THOUSAND YEARS, AND A THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY. THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE, AS SOME MEN COUNT SLACKNESS; BUT IS LONGSUFFERING TO US-WARD, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE. BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT; In The Which The Heavens Shall Pass Away With A Great Noise, And The Elements Shall Melt With Fervent Heat, The Earth Also And The Works That Are Therein Shall Be Burned Up. Seeing Then That All These Things Shall Be Dissolved, WHAT MANNER OF PERSONS OUGHT YE TO BE IN ALL HOLY CONVERSATION AND GODLINESS, LOOKING FOR AND HASTING UNTO THE COMING OF THE DAY OF GOD, Wherein The Heavens Being On Fire Shall Be Dissolved, And The Elements Shall Melt With Fervent Heat? NEVERTHELESS WE, ACCORDING TO HIS PROMISE, LOOK FOR NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH, WHEREIN DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS. WHEREFORE, BELOVED, SEEING THAT YE LOOK FOR SUCH THINGS, BE DILIGENT THAT YE MAY BE FOUND OF HIM IN PEACE, WITHOUT SPOT, AND BLAMELESS. AND ACCOUNT THAT THE LONGSUFFERING OF OUR LORD IS SALVATION; Even As Our Beloved Brother Paul Also According To The Wisdom Given Unto Him Hath Written Unto You;

OUR TIME ON EARTH IS OUR TIME IN THE WILDERNESS; WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO DURING THIS TIME? ARE WE GOING TO BUILD GOLDEN CALVES OR TRUST GOD? MOSES INTERCEDED FOR THE PEOPLE THEN; JESUS CHRIST IS OUR INTERSESSION WITH GOD NOW. KEEP THE FAITH!!!

Hebrews 7:24-28

BUT THIS MAN, BECAUSE HE CONTINUETH EVER, HATH AN UNCHANGEABLE PRIESTHOOD. WHEREFORE HE IS ABLE ALSO TO SAVE THEM TO THE UTTERMOST THAT COME UNTO GOD BY HIM, SEEING HE EVER LIVETH TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR THEM. FOR SUCH AN HIGH PRIEST BECAME US, WHO IS HOLY, HARMLESS, UNDEFILED, SEPARATE FROM SINNERS, AND MADE HIGHER THAN THE HEAVENS; WHO NEEDETH NOT DAILY, AS THOSE HIGH PRIESTS, TO OFFER UP SACRIFICE, FIRST FOR HIS OWN SINS, AND THEN FOR THE PEOPLE'S: FOR THIS HE DID ONCE, WHEN HE OFFERED UP HIMSELF. FOR THE LAW MAKETH MEN HIGH PRIESTS WHICH HAVE INFIRMITY; BUT THE WORD OF THE OATH, WHICH WAS SINCE THE LAW, MAKETH THE SON, WHO IS CONSECRATED FOR EVERMORE.

Luke 21:28 

AND WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS, THEN LOOK UP, AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.
