Don't pay attention to the toilet ad that appears from china. I could not delete it. All ads appear here due to the fact that it is a free website for Christian bloggers to help pay to run the website. Please do not be distracted by these temporal ads, focus on the Word of God, for He is worthy forever. Let us keep the many Christians there and all over the world lifted up in our prayers and support them as we have the opportunity. I checked back later to find the toilet ad removed but will leave this note here in case of its return. Remember the Christians who cannot worship openly in many countries.

CHAPTER 12 VS 16-17
THE ETERNAL NEW COVENANTOF JESUS CHRIST IS
PERMANENT NOT TEMPORARY AND GIVES PERMANENT NOT CONDITIONAL SALVATION AND PERMANENT
ETERNAL LIFE NOT CONDITIONAL TO ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIM
HOW DO WE KNOW THIS IS TRUE?
GOD DECLARED IT, HE IS THE ETERNAL TRUTH AND IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE.
WHAT IS THE DOCTRINE OF DEVILS?
ALL LIES THAT OPPOSE THE BIBLE.
WHO IS A FALSE TEACHER? ANYONE WHO WILLFULLY
PERVERTS THE GOSPEL AND DENIES ANY OF ITS TRUTH.
THE NEW
COVENANT OF JESUS CHRIST
CHRIST’S ONE
SACRIFICE ONCE FOR ALL
Heb 8:10
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:
11 And they
shall not teach every
man his neighbour, and every
man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall
know me, from the least to the
greatest.
Heb 8:12 For I will
be merciful to
their unrighteousness, and their sins and
their iniquities will
I remember no more. the false teacher will deny Heb 8:12 Heb 5:9 - And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 1Jo 5:10 - He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. JESUS TEACHES
US THAT BOTH HIS BODY AND BLOOD WAS NECESSARY TO MAKE AND COMPLETE
THE ATONEMENT. Mat 26:26-28 The New
Covenant is an absolute, eternal unchanging blood covenant, is finished for all
time, Jesus Christ its Word, Saviour, Mediator, High Priest, HEAD OF THE
CHURCH, and Absolute Supreme Standard. He
is the absolute gospel with all of His doctrines, principals, and boundaries
which are rooted, ratified, unchanging, and set for all time, by and in the
will of God the Father. Holy brethren, we know that we must keep this fresh and
not let it slip. This is all a part of our spiritual food, eat it all.
CURSED ARE ALL
WHO ADD TO OR TAKE AWAY FROM THIS NEW COVENANT: Gal 1:8-9.
Holy people, let us
continually keep in remembrance and understanding that all of our works or
knowledge, regardless of how great, is worthless to God without faith that
works by love, and can never please Him:
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any
thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which
worketh by love.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it
is impossible to please him: for he that
cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he
is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Brothers and sisters, let us the holy royal family of God whom
God our Father has made His children and priests give God our Father continual
love, honor, glory, thanks, blessings, and praise offerings for the free
gift/unmerited favor and mercy of Eternal salvation in which we stand forever
in His presence and power through our great Shepherd of the flock of God Jesus
Christ,
STUDIES IN HEBREWS
CHAPTER 12 V 16
Brothers and sisters, let us also give continual love
offerings, blessings, honor, glory, thanks, and praises to Lord Jesus Christ
God the Son of God, our Saviour/High Priest Mediator, King of kings, Lord of
Lords, The Mighty God, Lion of Judah, Prince of Peace, Lamb of God, who has
given Himself for us that all who believe are saved and escape the wrath of God
to come.
Brethren, if any amongst us is impatient and by passed the reading
of the preceding posted New Covenant, I pray they will go back and read it. Let’s
keep it fresh in our minds and hearts and not let it slip by sloth and/or
impatience, knowing God rewards us with PATIENCE for diligently studying and living His
word. The gospel sprang out of the New Covenant of Jesus Christ and there could
be no gospel at all without it.
We all must connect, connect, connect to this ABSOLUTE FINISHED
New covenant, for it is written to you, me, us- all of us as a whole, AND
INDIVIDUALLY AS WELL. Again, this Covenant is absolute, God forbids any plan b‘s,
mixed doctrines, or alternatives to be
mixed in or with it.
God has given us, through Paul a wonderful example of the
kind of teacher we should immulate who is humble, a lover of the Lord and the
brethren, meticulous, dedicated, relentless, and patient, teaching the truth in
love, not looking for perpetual dependent students to glorify himself, but to
bring these believers to maturity in the doctrine of Christ, so that they can
grow up spiritually to feed themselves with the word of God, and help other
believers do the same.
God through Paul the apostle, paints for us an indelible
portrait of the Christ. We see our Lord Jesus revealed in His power, His
faithfulness as the Son of God, His everlasting love, truth, and mercy. We also see the Christ in His humanity, His
heart, His mind- that greatly wants His creations to return His love, even as
the Father desires of us.
Paul has taught these Hebrew believers much and well.
However, the bottom line, dearly beloveds, reverbrating throughout the book of
Hebrews and the whole of scripture is this: God is love and only what we do for
Him out of love and trust can please Him, nothing else, absolutely nothing else.
Therefore, God’s commands to His people are not merely a to
do list, or stuff to do to be checked off from time to time, but to be lived out
of love and trust in Him, this is the heart and core of faith.
Paul continues to teach these Hebrew believers and us too how
God commands us to live in the body, understanding that we are empowered by God
through faith in Jesus Christ to lay aside the weight and sin that distracts us and
impairs our leading lives pleasing to God; which gives us the understanding
that we cannot reason with the dead sin nature, we can only mortify it-put it
to death by laying it aside spiritually, mentally and emotionally as God
Commands, to please God out of love and trust in Him, rather than displeasing
Him by choosing to do our will above His. God has no plan b’s or alternatives
to faith that works which is shown by love and trust in Him alone.
Heb 12:16Lest there be any fornicator, or profane
person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
We know, brothers and sisters, that the Bible has a great
deal to say about fornicators. It is clear that God absolutely limits sexual
intimacy to be between one biological man and one biological woman within the
boundaries of marriage and the Standard of Christ.
This gives us the clear understanding that a fornicator
whether a married or single man or woman is someone operating outside of the
marital bed. The Bible addresses any unrepentant who rejects church discipline
in this matter 1Co 5:11 - But now I
have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is
called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an
idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an
extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
Any brother or sister who receives church discipline and
repents is to be welcomed back into the church.
Rom 8:13; Rom 12:1; Col 3:5; 1Co 6:15. Gal 5:24 - And they
that are Christ's have crucified the fleshl with the affections and lusts.
Heb 12:16Lest there be any fornicator, or profane
person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
Esau lost the Abrahamic blessing due to the first born which
went instead to Jacob. Esau was an unrepentant spiritual fornicator and a profane person who
had neither respect for his father nor reverence towards God and the Abrahamic
promises. Nevertheless, Esau did receive certain earthly blessings and had great earthly wealth, which can never be compared to Jacob's eternal heavenly and earthly blessings.
The apostasy of Esau is proven in his selling his birthright and
afterwards disobeying his father Isaac and mother by marrying into the enemy
tribes of the Hittites and Canaanites, among others whose lands were promised
by God to Abraham, ( Gen 15:18-21), which
would be seized by the future nation of Israel to come. Later on there would be many instances of his opposing the nation of Israel.
Even after Esau displeased his parents by marrying into
peoples whom God called enemies Gen 26:34 -35, he went even further in taking more such wives against
the wishes of his parents: Gen 28:8-9.
17For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited
the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he
sought it carefully with tears.
Esau was tested, tried, and proven by God to be A SON IN NAME ONLY an example
of the unbelieving Jew, and gentile as well. His tears were but a mere reflection of
carnal sorrow at the loss of the tremendous earthly wealth and status that the
first born was to inherit. Therefore, Esau’s contempt for and scoffing at the
value of his birthright was clearly shown by his selling it for a meal. Thereafter,
his continued virulent disrespect to his father, impudent irreverence to God in
marrying into the foreign nations that were the enemies of God proves him to be
an apostate, an unbeliever, a scoffer unfit to inherit the Abrahamic promises, and
who would could never be trusted as a patriarch who would faithfully be an example
and carry forth to his children the teachings of the Abrahamic covenant; for a
tree is known by its fruit: Heb 6:8. Jesus
teaches us all: Mat 7:18 - A
good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
The message, dearly
beloveds, is not that a believer can lose their salvation, but those who lose
their salvation never had it in the first place. Neither is the message that a
sinner cannot truly repent, for the Bible gives many examples of those who truly
repent, a repentance that remains, rooted in a change of mind of those who have begun to abhor their errors
and misdeeds, and have determined to enter upon a better course of life, so
that it embraces both a recognition of sin and sorrow for it and hearty
amendment, the tokens and effects of which are shown in unwavering faith
evidenced in obedience with good deeds. God kept the door of His covenant open to welcome any Edomite among others, that would come believing, for He is no respecter of persons.
Paul teaches that the believer is commanded by God to shake
off all false notions that the believer is free to live however he or she wants
in God’s household, for we are all to live within the Standard and
boundaries of the New Covenant of Jesus Christ.
The body of Christ is the people of God of which Christ is
the Head. No one can enter into the
kingdom of God by any means other than faith in Christ. Neither through
institutions, organizations, denominations. God is not against anyone going to schools
of so-called “higher” learning, however, no school, no grade point average no
matter how “high”, no letters of distinction behind one’s name for free or paid
for and/or conferred by men, no philosophy, human intellect, human wisdom, ancestry,
race, color, ethnicity, appearance, economic status i.e. rich, poor or in
between, nor by philosophy or any works of any kind will gain entry into the body of Christ: Eph 2:8 - For by
grace are
ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
is the gift of God: 9 - Not of works, lest any
man should boast.
The apostle Paul warns all to be diligent in understanding
that God will not force anyone to believe or obey Him. The gospel is never to
be taken lightly or with an unrepentant pattern of contempt for the sacred, for
God will never compromise nor excuse any who willfully and unrepentantly sells
out the gospel of eternal life for temporal gain.
The righteous will understand and receive God’s commands
willingly, gladly, but the apostate wicked never will. Nevertheless, we know
that God does not want the wicked to perish but that they should turn to Him in
faith.
We are all in this together, let us diligently take heed to look
out for ourselves, and warn others too that might be tempted that they would
repent and come believing and not be lost: who are the unrepentant? Tit 3:10-11; 1Ti 4:1; 1Co 1:18; 1Co 6:9-10; 2Pe 2:22; Rev 9:20 vs Who
are the repentant? 1Co 6:11; Gal 6:1; 1Pe 1:5; Jde 1:24; Rev 7:14.
Jhn 10:28 And I give unto
them eternal life; and they
shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand.
Love and
truth forever, serola
