Part 14

The Holy Bible is easy to understand, my dearly beloveds, God stands over his word, and has given us the Holy Spirit to teach us, and aid us in our search of God’s word to receive the treasures of His love, promises, guidance and understanding of what He has done for us, who He has made us and how we shall live. God has even enabled us to partner in teaching one another as a whole as well as through pastors and godly teachers. Every true saint is blessed and equipped to spread the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord. We stand in the wisdom of God.

Regeneration: the means of regeneration or spiritual new birth of the penitent sinner -the baptism of the Holy Spirit : John the Baptist's baptism with water was preparatory, because it was for repentance and symbolized the washing away of sins and is an ordinance of the church, but does not convey salvation. Jesus, our Sinless Saviour, by contrast, would forgive all our sins, and baptize us with the Holy Spirit. He would send the Holy Spirit upon all believers, accomplishing complete  spiritual Regeneration and empowering them to live and to teach the message of salvation. This outpouring of the Spirit came after Jesus had risen from the dead and ascended into heaven (see John 20:22; Acts 2). By the power of God, all who believe on the death, burial and resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ, he forgives all of their sins and baptizes them with the Holy Spirit, causing all who believe in this way to become new creatures in Christ Jesus, born from above, born of the Spirit of God. In this way sinners, become saints and children of the Living God, thus through Jesus we all receive a change of nature and a change of name.

Christ’s forgiveness is complete, once and for all. His forgiveness is a cessation of the moral anger, wrath and resentment of God against sin; it is a release from the guilt of sin which oppresses the conscience, and a remission of the punishment of sin, which is eternal death.

In his justification of all believers, then, all our sins are forgiven, and the guilt and punishment thereof removed (Acts 13:38-39; Rom. 8:13. God sees the believer as without sin and guilt in Christ. (Num. 23:21; Rom. 8:33-34). His righteousness is unto all and upon all them that believe (Rom. 3:22-28) see Ro,. 5: 17-21; 1 Cor. 1:30.

Acts 13:38 be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. (Christ’s forgiveness is complete.)

Because of the finished work of Jesus Christ we can greatly rejoice in

the imputation of Christ’s righteousness, and restoration to God’s favor. He has done so much for us, and I encourage every saint to continue to go into His word, and bathe in the greatness of our God’s love, mercy, and the countless blessings, exhortations, admonishments and power towards all them that believe:

3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 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; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:3-7 (KJV)

I thank God for the multitude of faithful pastors, teachers and saints, who love the saints and the Lord putting Him first, and are faithful in His ministry of the Gospel and to the saints. We should love, highly esteem such, and support these ministries to the best of our ability to do so.

God will deal with those death messengers who twist and pervert the good news of the gospel into terrible news, leading the vulnerable into darkness, condemnation, and hopelessness, instead of the light and hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ our lord. Every saint has the right and authority to resist these messengers of death on every hand.

We, dearly beloveds, have continued good news in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, we have the full rights of citizenship in the eternal kingdom of God, and all that pertains to it. Salvation is unearned, and unmerited and given by the grace of God. Why so dear saints? The answer is made readily available and easily understandable by God Himself:

John 3:16-18 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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. 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.

It is the work of God, dear saints, that has changed both our name and nature, and empowers us to love Him, one another and to maintain good works. So our identity is that of Christians, children of the day, children of light, children of the living God, called to be His saints, the people of God. This is all for now, I look forward to meeting you here again, next time, God willing. Until then rest in the wisdom of God, believing and trusting in Him alone for the the Triune God alone is worthy. Dear children of the living God, let us humble ourselves under His mighty hand and in due season He will lift us up, but He resists the proud. Let us always come boldly before our great and only High Priest over the house of God, King Jesus, to pour out liberal libations of love, worship and praise to Him continually.

12 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. 13 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. 14 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. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Cor 2:12-16 (KJV)

Part 13

The whole of Salvation, my beloveds, rest upon the truth of the finished work of Lord Jesus Christ.He has told everyone the complete truth in His word that He has accomplished the complete Atonement ONCE AND FOR ALL FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE AND DO HIS WORD. He is the way, the truth and the life for the whole earth.

He has told every saint who they are in Him, and even the Holy Ghost is a witness of this. See Heb. 10:14-18 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Perfected G5048:  —from <G5046> (teleios); to complete, i.e. (literal) accomplish, or (figurative) consummate (in character) :- consecrate, finish, fulfill, make) perfect.

 —Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary

The Holy Bible is clear regarding how Christians are to see and deal with sin. However, dear saints, the great danger that results when someone does not see or does not want to see the finished work of Christ, is that they will focus ONLY on sin, and all they can see is a sinner, because of their unbelief. They fail to see the richness and Glory of the complete Salvation that Christ has wrought for us all. Instead they go about trying to establish their own righteousness apart from what Jesus our only Saviour has already done. They focus on sin, and various methods of ridding oneself from sin, mainly through the Old Testament Mosaic Law, or endless self works to get God to forgive them over and over again for various sins.

Seeking their own righteousness they exchange joy for mourning; hope for shame; faith for works; Grace for law; love for hate and fear; light for darkness; life in Christ for death; the truth of the Gospel for a lie; and God’s wisdom for man’s wisdom which is devilish.

Those who follow such, after prolonged spiritual rape and spiritual abuse, languish in shame, guilt, hopelessness, and abject self hate, even hating others as well. Some self destruct to escape an endless cycle of depression, and perceived worthlessness. Those who reject God’s word and lead others away from Him, God will recompense in due season.

Mt. 12:20 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathered not with me scattered abroad.

God has not left us on our own,dear saints,  nor are we just “ saved sinners”. the penitant sinner is not just forgiven, and left to flounder on their own. Nor is he an old man reformed or reinvigorated with an improved old nature, NO, NO he or she is regenerated, made a completely new creature. I will stop here for now, and God willing I pray we will meet here again next time, my beloveds.

 Part 12

Dear brothers and sisters we have taken but a brief look at King Jesus’ superior lineage, eternal origins and impeccable credentials. It is absolutely clear why God wants us to know these things about His Son, and our Saviour. Lean in closely dear ones, He wants me and you, and indeed everyone to understand that ALL of the promises he has made, HE FOREVER HAS THE INVINCIBLE POWER TO FULFILL COMPLETELY, AND HE IS COMPLETELY AND ALWAYS FAITHFUL. He is ordained of God the father as the sole, superior High Priest over the house of God, forever with superior lineage, superior origin, superior credentials, superior power-in fact all of it. King Jesus has made the superior sacrifice, once and for all through His body on the cross, the shedding of His blood, His death, burial and resurrection.

Part 11

Dear saints, the truth of the gospel NEVER CHANGES. God’s word is the final authority and sole truth for the whole earth, for He has created every soul, and every soul without exception shall give account unto Him. Beloveds, it must be understood that the Holy Spirit is the ultimate source and supreme teacher and giver of truth correctly understood over the whole body of Christ.

God does not need anyone, but because of His great love He gives to us the body of Christ as a whole the wonderful, privilege, opportunity and commandment to teach, encourage, and help one another to grow and know the truth of the scriptures, the understanding of which comes only through the Holy Spirit, who is the Supreme teacher over all the saints.

The Triune God is so great, what a privilege and blessing to be found in Him. I pray that every saint will savor His great love in every way, which He has poured out in abundance and mercy on all those who believe and do His will.

Beloveds, if I only know one thing about God, it is that He is the the final authority, and absolute truth. I believe His truth, correctly understood,  over everyone and everything and anything else that contradicts His word. Jesus asks several times in the scriptures of certain persons “do you believe me?”

The only right answer to His query is YES LORD. God’s way is the only right way and the only right way is God’s way. No one will act upon what he or she does not believe in ones heart to be true. We must root out therefore, holy brothers and sisters, any doubts that may be in our hearts about God, who He is, and what He has done for us all.

Jas. 1:6 For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Jas. 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Jas. 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Jesus lineage is on two levels He is fully the Son of God, having all power:

Mt. 28:18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Jesus Christ is fully man:

Mt. 1: 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 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.

Shamefully some, but Never all, do not know what manner of spirit we are of, and are destroying lives, albeit some ignorantly, wrongly teaching the tradition of men for the life giving gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord.

In Jesus is NO Sin, He is the only sinless human being and He led a completely sinless life:
