1223 GW1 quoted 2 Co12.9. All servants of God should learn GRACE of GOD for which HE suffered Heb. 2.9 when comparing with 2 Co 12.9 for the TRUTH of Gal. 3.1 by which HE GRANTS the GIFT of GRACE

Days of Unleavened Bread of 2^nd PASSOVER (Ending on 11^th May 2023)

A SECOND PASSOVER for sinners as counseled during King Hezekiah’s time -2 Ch 29, 30. ---READ IN ----No. 1219 WORK of LORD His judgments are for correction. HE cannot look on INIQUITY, Hab. 1.13. His LAND committed whoredom Hos.1. LORD grants Holy Spirit Acts.2 to know HIS WORDS written by His prophets, to REMOVE INIAQUITY, Rom.6 .

2 Co 12; 9-““My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness”.

GW1 wrote on 28^th April 2023

“Why did LORD say to PAUL “MY GRACE is sufficient for sinners?”

·        Encouraging words of GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST as a GIFT FOR SALVATION in EVERLASTING COVENANT is written in this article.

·        Although GW1 did write “MY GRACE is sufficient for sinners?”, ---

COMMENT--It is partly correct, for EVEN PAUL and ALL OF US are sinners, but we should examine why CHRIST our LORD SAY –“-““My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness”.

Please keep in mind that CHRIST our LORD came on DAY OF LORD as MESSENGER OF COVENANT, Mal 3;1 for Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5

WE ARE TO BE MINDFUL OF WORK OF CHRIST, 1 Co 15;58

1 Co 15; 10  by grace of God I am what I am: and his grace that was bestowed upon me was not in vain; I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me

1 Co 15: 53 -For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

58 -Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

CHRIST our LORD came as MESSENGER OF COVENANT

On DAY OF LORD 

Mal 3;1 - Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

2 -But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:

Isa 52:1 -Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

HIS PEOPLE would NOT DIE, when CHRIST our LORD does

HIS JUDGMENTS for CORRECTION

They are to keep a TRUE PASSOVER 1 Co 11;23-32

(Judgments and chastening during PASSOVER times, if you

Do not judge yourself, vv 28--32)

Hab. 1; 12 Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

We learn from example of King Hezekiah that priests who had not sanctified themselves from their CAPTIVITY should keep SECOND PASSOVER, --read in 2 Ch 29 and 30

GW1 wrote on 28^th April 2023

“Why did LORD say to PAUL “MY GRACE is sufficient for sinners?”

Whole mankind born as seed of Adam is cursed to death, then LORD gave HIS WORD, that He will Redeem All by HIS BLOOD and CAUSE ALL TO LIVE, then it is DONE BY GRACE ---Therefore HIS GRACE is SUFFICIENT for SINNERS!

Second death opens the minds to our sin, so that we can repent and seek Him, Ps 78: 34-35.

Adam did not believe the words of creator!

Comments—

WE SHOULD BE GLAD to RECEIVE BLESSINGS from HIS SACRIFICE which is HIS GRACE, Heb. 2;9-- He by the grace of God should taste death for every man---HE TASTED DEATH as HIS GRACE for SALVATION in Second Covenant, Heb. 10;7-14

GIFT of GOD “GRACE OF GOD” Rom.5;15

Is given by TRUTH, CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Gal.  3;1

·        Ro 5:15 -But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

·        Gal.  3;1- O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

In 2 Co 12; 1-6 –PAUL did not want to boast, but speak the TRUTH, but boasting about his infirmities, vs. 7.

Concerning the trouble from Satan’s messenger CHRIST our LORD answered vs. 9

In 2 Co 12:7---- there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8  -For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 -And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

In 2 Co 12;7-9 we see CHRIST our LORD was answering PAUL for a trouble PAUL had from a messenger of Satan who had tried to exalt PAUL!—then CHRIST said—“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness”.

MY GRACE is SUFFICIENT for thee

2Co 12:9 -And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

·        NOTICE the 1^st part was said by JESUS CHRIST --- He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness

·        And the 2^nd part was written by PAUL --- Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me

2 Co 12; 9 -And He said unto me, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness”.

·        It is CHRIST our LORD who said “My GRACE is sufficient for thee, for My strength is made in WEAKNESS”

·        Then PAUL wrote—“Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (and we know PAUL wrote that “CHRIST LIVES in me”, Gal.  2;19-21, (SO POWER OF CHRIST RESTED UPON him) when PAUL was BORN AGAIN in DUE TIME, 1 Co 15: 8 (That was honoring baptizm “born again not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, 1 Pe 1;23, by word of Rom.  6;3-23.

Then examine Heb. 2;9—and COMPARE with 2 Co 12; 9-““My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness”.

Heb. 2;9-we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

·       HIS GRACE-is given by “suffering of death”, Heb. 2;9---CHRIST our LORD was WEAK on HIS CROSS! ---------That is— “my strength is made perfect in weakness”, 2 Co 12;9

My grace is sufficient for thee

Then escape being a false prophet and serve truthfully

2Co 12:9 -And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

·        It is HIS GRACE that should be KNOWN by HIS SERVANTS fully, for HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT is based on FAITH IN CHRIST forever.

·        People who serve CHRIST our LORD should MIND THEIR WORK, AND having RIGHTEOUSNESS through Ro 6: 3-13, to PREACH HIS COVENANT for many would be troubles from the world -- PAUL suffered, read in 2 Co 11;23-28, he boasted in his INFIRMITIES, 2 Co 11;30.

False prophets transform themselves into apostles of CHRIST, just as Satan would do as an angel of light, transforming them as ministers of Righteousness, 2 Co 11; 13—15

·        That is MINISTERS of CHRIST who could be controlled by Satan!

Therefore CHRIST our LORD poured HIS BLOOD OF COVENANT, Heb. 13;20, IN GREAT WEAKNESS----

All for the LOVE OF HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL, Isa 49, to BRING THEM BACK TO HIM, Isa 49; 6

Isa 49: 6  And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

·        For CHRIST our LORD was MINDFUL of HIS COMMISSION of Isa 49;6 from the MATRIX of HIS MOTHER—Isa 49;1,2—and we gentiles were made to KNOW that for HE MADE GENTILES to KEEP SABBATHS AND COVENANT making them know of SALVATION, Isa 56; 1-7

Isa 49; 1--Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

2 -And he hath made My mouth like a sharp sword;

A LESSON FOR ALL MINISTERS OF CHRIST

In 2 Co 12; 9—we see HOW CHRIST SUFFERED to grant HIS GRACE, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness”.

In Rom.8; 17- we see how CHRIST our LORD requires us TO SUFFER WITH HIM!

Rom. 8;17-And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

·        We as JOINT HEIRS have to SUFFER, and  love one another to be GLORIFIED TOGETHER WITH CHRIST

On DAY OF LORD , He judged some as adulteresses, some coveting neighbor’s wives, Eze. 33;26, Eze. 22; 8-10, HE EVEN GAVE WIVES TO OTHERS, Jer. 8;10 (1-10) --

Jer. 8: 10  Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for everyone from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

PAUL wrote of such problems—

2 Co 12; 20  For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

21 --And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

Today CHRIST our LORD had seen lewdness

And covetousness

·        Jer. 8: 10  Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for everyone from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. (LORD did so because of UNFAITHFULLNESS OF GOD’S SERVANTS, Jer. 8;1-10!)

Well, it would be a difficult thing TO LOVE a spouse who coveted others’ spouses, as seen among prophets and priests, Jer. 8;10!!

·        BUT CHRIST our LORD granted HIS GRACE, to FORGIVE –therefore ALL SHOULD SEEK FORGIVENESS, Lu.17;1-4, RECONCILIATION, Mt. 5

·        And CHRIST our LORD would PURIFY , remove ALL UNCLEANNESS from ALL SINNERS who SINCERELY REPENT ACKNOWLEDGING THE SACRIFICE AND GIFT OF GRACE OUR LORD SUFFERED on HIS CROSS!

For sake of CHRIST, we are to FORGIVE others

Because we cannot call anyone UNCLEAN when CHRIST purifies

Them with HIS BLOOD, Eph.1;7

Act 10; 15--What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

A summary explaining 2 Co 12:9

LORD’S WORK was to bring back ISRAEL to Himself, Isa49:1-6

2 Co 12:9 refers to work of JESUS CHRIST granting GRACE through His strength made in weakness on the Cross. (as explained above)

Read below how WORK of CHRIST our LORD fulfils through SERVICE OF PAUL by being the MINISTER TO GENTILES, 2 Tim 1;11

2 Co 12;9-- for my strength is made perfect in weakness”.

·        GRACE of JESUS CHRIST is His death,. Heb. 2:9

·        His will is –SECOND COVENANT with HIS ONE OFFERING, Heb. 10: 7-10-14. 

·        In weakness on CROSS—HE SHED HIS BLOOD OF EVERLASTING COVENANT, Heb. 13;20, that BLOOD GIVEN AT PASSOVER, 1 Co 11;23-34, Mt. 26;28,

·        His flesh and blood for LIFE of us in EVERLASTING COVENANT, Jn.  6: 44-51, 53-58

2Co 12:9 - He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee

·        PAUL received “CHRIST IN YOU”  (“CHRIST Lives in me”, Gal.  2;20--Gal.  2;17-21)

·        All were sinners, breaking law, Gal. 2;17, PAUL persecuted church, but PAUL was made SINLESS by HIS GRACE, and therefore CHRIST COULD LIVE IN PAUL, Gal.  2; 20!

·        CHRIST NOT A MINISTER of SIN, Gal.  2;17.

Ga 2:17 –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.

·        When CHRIST live in PAUL, he lives by FAITH in SON OF GOD, Gal.  2.20

THEN PAUL was MINISTER to GENTILES, 2 Tim 1;11.

·        CHRIST was given as a LIGHT TO GENTILES, Isa 49: 6

·        Then GENTILES a LIGHT to ISRAEL , Isa 60; 3 (people given for life of ISRAEL , Isa 43;3, 4)

·        Therefore SONS OF ISRAEL come from FAR, Isa 60; 4-12

·        Ships of Tarshish comes first bringing children of ISRAEL from far, Isa 60;9—gentiles bear children of ISRAEL, Eze. 47; 22

LORD’S commission FULFILLS bringing back ISRAEL to Himself,

Isa. 49:1-6

Now ministers are to PROVE “CHRIST IN YOU”, 2 Co 13; 4-8

In recent times LEWDNESS amidst GOD’S CHURCH

Was highlighted in www.restoringcaptivity.com

2 Co 12: 21 --And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

Read in Eze. 23; 45-48 how CHRIST our LORD judges through HIS SERVANTS, explaining that ADULTERESSES SHED BLOOD, vs. 45

·        HE REQUIRES to ESTABLISH the COVENANT OF PEACE, Isa 9;7, as EVERLASTING COVENANT, Heb. 13;20---

·        HE GIVES FORGIVENESS to ALL through HIS GRACE to establish a RIGHTEOUS people who would DO NO HARM TO BRETHREN!

GRACE of GOD through sacrifice of CHRIST our LORD

Is NEEDED TO SERVE HIM in RIGHTEOUSNESS unto ETERNAL LIFE

Rom.  5; 20 -Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

Rom.  5: 21 -That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

·        THAT is OUR SERVICE should be WITHOUT SIN!

This is a TIME of Eze.36;17( service of ISRAEL as impurity of women)—Eze. 22; 8-12 (ministry as adulterers, even Jer. 8;10) (scriptures shown in this article)

·        CHRIST our LORD is UANABLE TO ESTABLISH EVERLASTING COVENANT when HIS SERVANTS do not understand that ALL ARE TO SERVE EVERLASTING COVENANT in RIGHTEOUSNESS, without SIN!

·        For HE SHED BLOOD OF EVERLASTING COVENANT, Heb. 13;20, to MAKE THEM RIGHTEOUS, TO SERVE HIM without SIN in them, Rom.  6;3-7

When HIS WILL is  SECOND COVENANT through HIS SACRIFICE, Heb. 10;7-14, GIFT OF GRACE and ---GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, ---GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE (To serve in EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59: 21) is given by CRUCIFIED CHRIST,  Rom. 5:17-19 , Rom. 6: 3-23, Tit 2;11,Tit. 3.7

Gal.  2:20—PAUL was crucified with Him and he knew “CHRIST lives in PAUL”.

·        THAT is he had put on CHRIST by BAPTIZM, Gal.  3;26-29

·        That is GRACE of JESUS CHRIST through HIS DEATH was in PAUL!

Corruption and immortality is removed by VICTORY of JESUS CHRIST

Through HIS DEATH, 1 Co 15;51-57,and

Counsels of LORD makes His people to receive SALVATION

When they THE WORK OF LORD

READ HOW PAUL served ABUNDANTLY than others

Through GRACE OF GOD

That is grace of God received by baptizm unto death of CHRIST

IS VITAL TO SERVE GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, Isa 54;5

1 Co 15: 53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

58 -Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

·        All labourers of CHRIST our LORD are CALLED TO SERVE HIM in TRUTH!

PAUL served abundantly through GRACE OF GOD

Received when PAUL was born again by words of baptizm

PAUL WROTE----Paul was born again in due time, 1 Co15;8,-(That is he was BORN in NEWNESS OF LIFE, without SIN, Rom.  6;3- 7) then, -1 Co 15; 10  by grace of God I am what I am: and his grace that was bestowed upon me was not in vain; I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.—

Read more of PAUL’S writings which enables TO UNDERSTAND that GRACE OF GOD given as  GIFT through SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST does ENABLE to SERVE IN HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT!

SUPREME SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST to remove SIN from SINNERS is HIS GRACE, which is the FREE GIFT, Rom. 5; 13-31! (Rom.  5; 13-31 explains the FREE GIFT)—explained in this article!

And a servant who DOES Disgrace His holy sacrifice should be given sorer punishment, WHO HAD NOT UNDERSTOOD HIS GRACE, Heb. 10:29

Read Heb. 10;29—how you could DISGRACE SPIRIT of HIS GRACE

Heb. 10: 29  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

·        Riotous living, as prodigal son, Lu. 15; 13,  includes friendship with world, lusts of flesh, adultery, etc. and Jam. 4; 4-6 says CHRIST our LORD GIVES MORE GRACE to such sinners, whom He had called, when they HUMBLE, Jam. 4;6- -But He giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble

LORD calls SINNERS, to Repentance, Mt. 9;13, Mr.2;17, Lu. 5;32 ---they need MORE GRACE, Jam 4; 6

·        CHRIST our LORD finds One sheep WHICH HAD GONE ASTRAY!

Lu 15:4 -What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

SUCH A LOST SHEEP GONE ASTRAY needs MORE GRACE!

Jam. 4; 6 -But He giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

·        ZACCHAEUS the RICH PUBLICAN, Lu. 19, Repented of HIS PUBLICAN WORKS-- Zacchaeus type of PUBLICANS who had COVETED MONEY are among HIS PEOPLE ---they need MORE GRACE---

·        LORD calls SINNERS, to Repentance, Mt. 9;13, Mr.2;17, Lu. 5;32 ---they need MORE GRACE, Jam 4; 6 --- And it is prophesied that PUBLICANS AND HARLOTS come first to KINGDOM OF GOD, Mt. 21; 31-- Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

So we see such sinners would BOW DOWN TO GRACE of JESUS CHRIST , acknowledging HIS BAPTIZM, Rom.  6, Col 2;11-17, Gal.  3; 26-29. 

When you DO NOT HONOUR SPIRIT of GRACE—learning from Heb.10;29

·        You who are a created man/woman TREAD JESUS CHRIST the GOD OF WHOLE EARTH UNDER YOUR FOOT

·         HOLY BLOOD of GOD OF WHOLE EARTH , sacrificed by HIM is INSULTED!

·         HIS PERFECT COUNSEL to establish EVERLASTING COVENANT is MOCKED AT!

·         HIS HOLY COVENANT is INSULTED as an UNHOLY THING!!

·         NOT REGARDED SPIRIT OF GRACE!

Servants of CHRIST our LORD should explain the GOSPEL of GRACE of GOD, Acts. 20:24---- but servants of CHRIST our LORD work against HIS GRACE as prophesied in Gal.  1;6

Ga 1:6  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Rom.  5 explained in this article—

FAITH is NEEDED to ACCESS into HIS GRACE, through BAPTIZM

Rom.  5; 1 -Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2-By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God

·        FAITH in operation of God to be BURIED in BAPTIZM, Col 2; 12-13 is needed to have FAITH into this GRACE, Rom. 5:1, 2!

When JUSTIFIED by FAITH we have ACCESS to HIS GRACE!

No teacher or servant of God is called to Kingdom of Heaven if he/she teaches and breaks the least of Commandments—Mt. 5:19-20

Laws even tittles and jots magnified—Mt. 5:17-18

Tested by fire –1 Pe 1:7,4,  to receive salvation-----4- To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

If a servant of God does not understand that “HIS GRACE” is “HIS DEATH” that servant would deceive all his/her readers and would become a False CHRIST and would preach another JESUS!---Then HOLY BLOOD IS INSULTED, Heb. 10: 26-30

THE READERS are to BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES if you hear from such a servant of God!---2Co 11:4  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him---PLEASE confirm all teachings with SCRIPTURES, 2 Pe 1;19-20 (Bible should interpret what a scribe would write!)

LORD had given works even vanity—to save them through His sacrifice as His Grace –read in this article --Jer. 8:10, Hos. 4:13,14, Ec 7:13, 14 are some other works given to men.

·        VANITY of men of God is given to them HAVING THE HOPE OF DELIVERING THEM TO MAKE THEM CHILDREN OF GOD, Rom.  8: 20-21! –men in VANITY, CANNOT SERVE THE MOST HIGH! 

Talents of unprofitable servants would be given to THOSE WHO USES THE TALENTS profitably for SERVICE of GOD ---Read in Mt. 25 (scriptures shown in this article)

Read in this article--VANITIES given, Rom.8; 20, so that CHRIST our LORD would SAVE THEM by RICHES of HIS GRACE, Eph.1;7

CRUCIFIED CHRIST is

HIS GRACE for us to be saved

Suffer as CRUCIFIED with HIM to receive NEWNESS of LIFE, Rom. 6;3-7

·        When CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, we are forgiven, Rom.  6;6,7

·        And REQUIRED NOT TO SERVE SIN, Rom. 6;6,

·        But SERVE RIGHTEOUSNESS, Rom. 6;18, 20

·        Ro 6:18 0Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.---WE SHOULD NOT HAVE SIN in us, TO SERVE in RIGHTEOUSNESS!

·        Ro 6:20 -For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.---when SIN was  in US, we could NOT PLEASE CHRIST our LORD with OUR SERVICE!

LORD gives BAD STATUTES to PUNISH THEM

Through HIS JUDGMENTS

Eze 20:24 -Because they had not executed my judgments, despised my statutes, had polluted My SABBATHS, and their eyes after their fathers’ idols.--25 -Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; read more in No. 1157 in www.restoringcaptivity.com

·        WHEN CHRIST our LORD had given BAD STATUTES, that means such leaders WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND HIS HOLY SPIRIT!

·        WHEN CHRIST our LORD had given BAD STATUTES, Eze. 20;24, 25, HE REQURES Repentance and to have faith in HIS GRACE, being CRUCIFIED with HIM, to understand NOT TO SERVE SIN anymore, when forgiven, Rom.  6; 6,7 (read more in this article)

Lu 5:32 -I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Today in Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5 CHRIST our LORD had found many sinners among ministry! ---He Himself had given wives to others, Jer. 8;10.

PAUL persecuted church, read below…

·        EVERY priest who would serve through his/her vanity would NEVER KNOW THE SECRET OF HIS Covenant, Ps 25;14, when CHRIST our LORD had come as messenger of Covenant, Mal 3;1-5

·        Then they would PREACH ANOTHER JESUS! 2 Co 11;4

2 Co 12; 9 -And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Prove that HOLY SPIRIT is HIS WORDS taught to disciples the apostles

HOLY SPIRIT is HIS words given as BREATH of LIFE, to apostles, Jn.20;21,22

·        Gospel preached from heaven by HOLY SPIRIT sent down, 1 Pe 1;12

·        CHRIST breathed on apostles the WORDS of GOD as HOLY SPIRIT, Jn.20;21,22

·        That is He reminded of HIS WORDS, as FATHER’S WORDS, Jn15;15,

·        Life given as breathing HOLY SPIRIT Jn.20;21-22

·        THEY are HIS WORDS, the LIFE GIVING WORDS, Jn. 6;63

·        HOLY SPIRIT is given through baptizm unto JESUS CHRIST , Acts.2;38, 39, by having faith in words of Rom. 6

·        HOLY SPIRIT is COMFORTER, teaching all things CHRIST taught, Jn.14;26 

So HOLY SPIRIT is HIS WORDS taught to disciples the apostles!

BEWARE OF FALSE CHRISTS--2Co 11:4-For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

·        PROPHECIES are TESTIMONIES of JESUS CHRIST –so beware of ALL TEACHINGS ministry receive!

PROPHECY for CIRCUMCISION of HEARTS ---De 30:6  And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

OBEDIENCE NECESSARY--Jer 4:4  Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

MEN of JUDAH are to be CIRCUMCISED in HEARTS by HOLY SPIRIT ---Ro 2:29 -But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the SPIRIT,

Ro 15:8-

Now I say that Jesus CHRIST was a minister of the circumcision

For the truth of God,

To Confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

Therefore—GRACE of GOD is through CIRCUMCISION for TRUTH of GOD, Rom. 15;8,  Done by JESUS CHRIST and it is by baptism, Col 2; 11-13

Ro 2:29 -But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the SPIRIT,

·        Circumcision of hearts is  by HIS WORDS, the SPIRIT, Jn.6;63

His supreme sacrifice to remove SIN from Sinners is His GRACE, which is Free Gift, Rom. 5.1-2 (13-31), HIS GRACE grants GIFT OF GOD, which is Eternal life by baptizm, Rom.6;23, given to those who have FAITH to be buried in baptizm, Col.2;12,13.

Col 2;11-- 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:

12-- Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

13- And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

·        We are to have FAITH in operation of GOD who does the CIRCUMCISION of HEARTS,

Reading through 2 Co 12; 7-11 shows how PAUL had a THORN troubling him, (A THORN pricks, --a pricking brier is someone opposing his work, persecuting! –a messenger of Satan troubling him so that PAUL would not exalt himself because he receives MUCH REVELATIONS, 2 Co 12;7----

And the WORD OF GOD teaches PAUL that he should not exalt himself , when he received much REVELATIONS, but go through MUCH PERSECUTIONS, (A LESSON FOR US)—IT IS THE POWER OF CHRIST which we should magnify! –read in 2 Co 12;7-11.

·        POWER OF CHRIST is given through GOD’S GRACE which is HIS DEATH, (Creator God as CHRIST counseled the LAMB, 1 Pe 1;19-20, that LAMB as HIMSELF, Jn.  1;29--36, to MAKE HIS MISNISTRY RIGHTEOUS!

·        For HE IS PERFECT, Mt. 5;48, and HOLY, 1 Pe 1;16

PAUL persecuted church of CHRIST --Ga 1:13 -For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

·        Such a sinner was APOSTLE PAUL -- 1Co 15:9 --For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

Please understand:  such servants of God would SEPARATE CHURCH from CHRIST our LORD, which should NOT HAPPEN, it is the GREAT MYSTERY of church and CHRIST, Eph. 5;30-32

But PAUL always repented and had “dying LORD in his body” 2 Co 4;10.

·        Ministry who erred as in Eze. 33;26, Rom.7;3, Jer. 8;10, Eze. 22;8-10, Eze. 22; 8, 26, (breaking SABBATH) is to receive CHRIST our PASSOVER 1 Co 5.7 and prove “CHRIST IN US”  2 Co 13;4-7, for they served against GREAT MYSTERY of CHRIST and CHURCH Eph. 5: 30-32 for they served men working on the LIE Rom. 1.25 –read in No. 1200 in www.restoringcaptivity.com

In Gal. 1;13, 1 Co 15; 9 we see how PAUL repents continually, but PAUL found “dying LORD in his body, 2 Co 4; 10” ---PAUL wrote he “DIES DAILY”1 Co 15; 31—that is PAUL exalting GRACE , the DEATH of JESUS CHRIST on HIS CROSS, Heb. 2;9,  working in PAUL daily!

·       Thereby we know how PAUL repented of his sins, and he knew how CHRIST our LORD forgave through HIS GRACE, shedding HIS BLOOD On the CROSS, to SAVE SINNERS!

CHRIST Himself as LAMB was counseled to DIE for SINS of PEOPLE, ---and they are to take up their CROSS, and FOLLOW CHRIST our LORD, Lu 9:23, see below.

·        That counsel was TO REMOVE SIN from LIFE OF HIS CHOSEN, (very specially of ministry, in Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5), so that they SERVE HIM IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, without sin in them, that BLESSING  is given through HIS SACRIFICE, when HE SHED BLOOD OF EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59;21—

·        Then MINISTRY should preach HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT –the SECOND COVENANT for which HE made HIS ONE OFFERING, Heb. 10: 7-10, 14. 

Lu 9:23  And he said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Lu 5:32 -I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

·        Ministry is sinning and work against JESUS CHRIST, they HIDE from SABBATHS, Eze. 22;8.26. CHRIST our LORD requires ALL MINISTRY to keep HIS STATUTES, being RIGHTEOUS, Eze. 18.

When ISRAEL PCG did not keep STATUTES of Covenant, LORD gave BAD STATUTES, Eze.20;25---they became UNRIGHTEOUS, but when they keep statutes which are lawful they become RIGHTEOUS being forgiven through HIS GRACE, the DEATH of HIM, Heb. 2;9, and sins would be forgotten,  Eze. 18; 21-22

·        CHRIST our LORD made known in Eze. 22; 8-10, Eze. 33;26, Rom. 7;3(Divorcing and marrying as adulteress)  , Eze. 23;3. 8, of IMPURITY and IMMORALLITY of MINISTRY, and the LORD says HE GAVE WIVES of ministry to others, Jer.8;1-10!--- A time CHRIST our LORD removes LEWDNESS in CHURCH, Eze. 23;45-48!—He requires HIS CHURCH the LAND as a VIRGIN, Isa 62; 4-5!

·        AND JESUS CHRIST as LAMB purifies them by HIS BLOOD to make them as virgins, Rev. 14: 1-5, granting white clothes, Rev. 7;14-17, for marriage of LAMB, Rev. 19;7, 8. 

Heb 13:4 -Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.—we see adulterers among ministry, Rom. 7: 3, Jer. 8;1-10—for CHRIST our LORD HIMSELF had given wives to others among prophet and priest, because of their covetousness, dealing falsely!

·        Then they as PRINCES the PRIESTS Jer. 8;1-10, are to REPENT because their bones prove of sins –Jer. 8;1---they the “EVIL FAMILY” of CHRIST our LORD, have chosen death rather than LIFE, vs. 3—they the people of JERUSALEM, vs. 5, not repented of wickedness, vs. 6, LORD’S people do not know His judgments, vs. 7, the PEN OF SCRIBES is in VAIN, vs. 8, they have REJECTED THE WORD OF GOD, NO WISDOM in them, vs. 9, (servants of CHRIST our LORD write without WISDOM OF GOD!)

Jer. 8: 10  Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for everyone from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

Prophecies fulfill!

SERVANTS of CHRIST our LORD should understand the DIFFICULT TIMES prophesied in  Mt. 24, like Noah’s times, marrying, giving in marriage, eating and drinking, Mt. 24;37, 38---those prophesied events would happen in church too, as we see HIS TESTIMONIES in above scriptures,

Eze. 22; 10--in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

11  And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife;

Eze. 36:17-- Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. (this is the same as Eze. 22; 10)  

18 -Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

·        We ought to understand to SERVE CHRIST our LORD without SUCH SIN,

·        Therefore HE REMOVES SINS, Rom. 6, 6, 7---BY HIS GRACE which is HIS DEATH, Heb. 2;9

Eze. 36; 19 -And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

·        CHRIST our LORD judged house of ISRAEL serving Him as having responsibility of David---it is PCG!

6  Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

·        CHRIST our LORD is JEALOUS!—He sees the IMAGE OF JEALOUSY,  Eze. 8 and takes VENGEANCE, Prov. 6: 34 -For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore He will not spare in the day of vengeance.

·        Gerald Flurry had MADE H. W. Armstrong the ‘god” –in Philadelphia Church of God who could not find baptizm unto death of JESUS CHRIST , Rom.  6

When the NAME OF CHRIST our LORD, the POSSESSOR OF HIS CHURCH has  HIS EXCELLENT NAME set above the heavens, and in ALL THE EARTH,  Ps 8;1, 9, Gerald Flurry SWEARS by the NAME OF A DEAD MAN H. W. Armstrong, in GOD’S CHURCH when Gerald Flurry cannot make a hair black or white, Mt. 5;36!

Ps 8: 1--O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.----------9 -O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

WRITINGS OF Gerald Flurry

Exalting H. W. Armstrong is in the following article of his

Why Our College Is Named After Herbert W. Armstrong --By Gerald Flurry • Aug. 22, 2019---(Repeated in TRUMPET on Aug 13^th 2022)

·        In that article Gerald Flurry wrote---

The Philadelphia Church of God sponsors a private liberal arts college. Why is our college named Herbert W. Armstrong College? We had many different names to choose from, and spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right name.

Gerald Flurry wrote—

Our work is grounded in what God taught through Mr. Armstrong and what he is teaching today. We are carrying on the traditions Mr. Armstrong established. We follow what he did, building on the understanding he had.

Herbert W. Armstrong was one of the most prominent religious leaders of the 20th century.

·        So the PCG honours EVERY WORD of a prominent church leader in CHURCH OF GOD!

·        NOT THE WORD OF GOD----but EVERY WORD of H. W. Armstrong!

·        But PCG TRUMPET keep announcing of “EVERY WORD OF GOD” !----

·        So PCG PROVE of their LIE, Rom. 1;25

SO, the SAME HISTORY of ISRAEL followed in latter times

Exalting other gods, King Solomon did so through women,

To break COVENANT 1 Ki 11; 7-11

H. W. Armstrong made himself as ELIJAH referring to Mal 3;1----But H. W. Armstrong did not know the COVENANT-----He did not teach of GOD’S COVENANT ---they served their vain works!

·        EVERY priest who would serve his/her vanity would NEVER KNOW THE SECRET OF HIS Covenant, Ps 25;14

·        Today even witnesses serve as pastors, Jer. 3;14, 15, treading inner court, Rev. 11;1-4.

·        Knowledge of HIS COVENANT is given only to those who FEAR HIM,  Ps 25;14--- The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

·        So the WORDS OF HIS COVENANT is taught by HOLY SPIRIT to those who FEAR HIM! ---

·        It is a SECRET!! All would not know!

·        THOSE WHO FEAR HIM to DO HIS Commandments, Ec 12;13, 14 would know HIS COVENANT, Ps 25;14 through HIS WORDS, the HOLY SPIRIT, Jn. 6;63

Heb. 13;20-- Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 -Make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

·        Adam did not know of EVERLASTING COVENANT to be PERFECT!

1Co 15:45 -And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

·       As CHRIST our LORD as LAST Adam quickens and makes to LIVE granting EVERLASTING LIFE by HIS WORDS of BAPTISM, Rom. 6; 19-23—for EVERLASTING COVENANT for which HE SHED BLOOD of EVERLASTING COVENANT, Heb. 13;20!

Adam did not know GOD’S WILL of SECOND COVENANT for LIFE of WORLD

CHRIST our LORD called the predestined to BE RAISED, Jn.6;44,45, meaning they would receive ETERNAL LIFE by words of baptizm, Rom. 6; 19-23.

Adam did not know of Levites as 1^st born to be LORD’S— Nu 3:12

---Adam did not know that Levites were COUNSELED to be joined to priesthood of High Priest Aaron to minister in HIS CHARGE OF Tabernacle of congregation, and for SERVICE of Tabernacle, Nu.18

---and MAINLY because CHRIST our LORD as HIGH PRIEST OF Melchisedec Order has to be SERVED by Levites, when HE CAME AS MESSENGER of COVENANT, Mal 3;1 ---

·        MOST ESSENTIALLY because CHRIST our LORD is the HIGH PRIEST of NEW COVENANT, the EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59;21, for which HE SHED HIS BLOOD, Heb. 13;20, BY HIS GRACE, by GRACE OF GOD HE TASTED DEATH for EVERY MAN, Heb. 2;9!

Heb. 2-9- he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

By HIS GRACE, HE MAKES SONS PERFECT as CAPTAIN of SALVATION –and glorify them--Heb. 2; 10 -For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

JESUS CHRIST and All who become SANCTIFIED by HIM are of CREATOR FATHER 11 -For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

·        So CHRIST our LORD and we who are SANCTIFIED by HIM are brethren. –they are predestined brethren, who are called, Rom.  8;28-30, Jn. 6;44, 45 (who are CALLED TO BE RAISED, and taught by GOD, Jn.  6;44, 45—they would be RAISED AS HE RAISED in NEWNESS OF LIFE, (baptismal words to be honoured to do so, Rom.  6;3-7)

BRETRHEN are HIS CHILDREN --Heb 2; 12  Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren,---13 -And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.  (Levi the priesthood did not know that CHRIST our LORD is FATHER too, Mal 1;6, GENTILES AS PASTORS, Jer. 3;14, 15, --they are to KNOW THE COVENANT  and SABBATHS knowing SALVATION , Isa 56;1-7---they are to serve CHRIST our LORD in HOUSE OF PRAYER, Isa 56

We serving CHRIST our LORD ---all are children of God

Heb. 2; 14 -Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

·        PARTAKE FLESH AND BLOOD at PASSOVER to REPMOVE POWER OF DEVIL through DEATH OF CHRIST which made possible to receive BLOOD OF FORGIVENESS and REDEMPTION, Eph.  1;7

15 -And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

·        BONDAGE TO SIN,  BONDAGE to DEVIL ---(proves such has NOT FEAR OF GOD, but FEAR of DEATH the devil, Heb. 2;14

17-that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

·        His mercy is shown by MINISTRY OF SPIRIT, 2 Co 3;6-9

·        His GRACE is SHOWN by HIS DEATH, granting PASSOVER FLESH AND BLOOD to be received worthily, so that WE JUDGE OURSELVES, to know our sins, and REPENT, SO THAT we never SERVE SIN, when crucified with Him, Rom.  6; 6, 7, that is ACKNOWLEDGING HIS DEATH as HIS GRACE which forgives OUR SINS, Rom. 6;6, 7(baptismal words to be honoured by LEARNING TO KEEP EVERY WORD, Lu. 4;4, Mt. 4; 4) that is after baptizm, we are NOT TO SIN, any more---

·        These words are given FOR EVERLASTING COVENANT for which HE SHED HIS BLOOD—Heb. 13;20—

Heb. 13;20-- Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 -Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

LORD came for Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5

He judged all, even the jewels Mal 3;`16-18

Mal 2; 10- Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?

MESSENGER of Covenant, Mal 3;1

Knows that PRIESTS do not seek HIS LAWS

Mal 2; 7 -For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

8 -But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.

·        So Levi the priesthood corrupted the COVENANT of Levi

·        Priests Caused many to STUMBLE AT LAWS of CREATOR GOD, Mal 2;10, CHRIST our LORD the FATHER and MASTER, who teaches, Mal 1-6

·        Mt. 23: 8-But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.----9  And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.—---10  one is your Master, even CHRIST

Fellowship with Father and Son, 1 Jn.1; 3, continue in SON and in FATHER, 1 Jn.2: 24, he is antichrist who denieth Father and Son, vs. 22, He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the Father and the Son, 1 Jn.1:9 –read in No. 988 in www.restoringcaptivity.com

Moses was faithful and

CHRIST THE ROCK is the master of Moses, 1 Co 10;1-4

Heb. 3; 1 -Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

2  Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

HOLY SPIRIT is words given as BREATH of LIFE, to apostles, Jn.20;21,22

Prove from words below

Written words of apostles given to them by JESUS CHRIST as words of FATHER, Jn.15;15, they are as HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN AS BREATH of GOD, Jn.20; 21, 22,HOLY SPIRIT as words of LIFE, Jn. 6;63, are sent from heaven, 1 Pe 1;12, because

THRONE of CHRIST our LORD is in HEAVEN, Ps 89;29

HOLY SPIRIT is COMFORTER, Jn.14;26

Gospel preached from heaven by HOLY SPIRIT sent down, 1 Pe 1;12, CHRIST breathed on apostles the WORDS of GOD as HOLY SPIRIT, Jn.20;21,22 --That is He reminded of HIS WORDS, given to them, Jn15;15, so words of apostles are HOLY SPIRIT. 

HOLY SPIRIT is FATHER’S WORDS, Jn.15;15, CHRIST our LORD breathed HOLY SPIRIT to apostles, Jn.20;21-22,they are life giving words, Jn. 6;63, ---HOLY SPIRIT is COMFORTER, teaching all things CHRIST taught, Jn.14;26 

·        Gospel preached from heaven by HOLY SPIRIT sent down, 1 Pe 1;12

·        CHRIST breathed on apostles the WORDS of GOD as HOLY SPIRIT, Jn.20;21,22

·        That is He reminded of HIS WORDS, as FATHER’S WORDS, Jn15;15,

·        Life given as breathing HOLY SPIRIT Jn.20;21-22

·        THEY are HIS WORDS, the LIFE GIVING WORDS, Jn. 6;63

·        HOLY SPIRIT is COMFORTER, teaching all things CHRIST taught, Jn.14;26 

So HOLY SPIRIT is HIS WORDS taught to disciples the apostles!

HOLY SPIRIT is given to ISRAEL and those of far when baptized to the name of JESUS CHRIST, Acts.2;38,39, so wrote John, Jn.1;33.

HOLY SPIRIT is WORDS OF LIFE, His words are SPIRIT, they are LIFE, Jn.6;63, and ETERNAL LIFE is given through baptizm, Rom. 6; 19-23, when A SINNER Turns to be RIGHTEOUS by BAPTISM unto DEATH of JESUS CHRIST ,Rom. 6; 7-23, receiving NEWNESS OF LIFE, without SIN, Rom.6;3-7 , forgiven, redeemed by BLOOD, Eph.  1;7,

·        When JESUS CHRIST had taught words of life to apostles, He breathed on them after resurrection, Jn.20;21, 22

Jn. 20;21- Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.---when FATHER sent CHRIST our LORD (as HIS CHRIST, Kings, rulers were against HIS CHRIST, Ac 4;26, Martha knew of HIS CHRIST, Jn.11: 19-27- The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His CHRIST, Rev.11;15, we serve the LORD CHRIST, He received the reward of Inheritance, Col 3;24, Mt. 21;37,38, He is heir of all things, Heb. 1;2, ps.2: 6,7. Read in No.1201)

Jn.  20: 22 -And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the HOLY SPIRIT:--LORD said of FATHER’S WORDS, Jn. 20;21 which were made known to disciples, Jn.15;15.---------Joh 15:15 -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.------Joh 14:9 -Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

HOLY SPIRIT as COMFORTER--Joh 14:26-But the Comforter, which is the HOLY SPIRIT, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.---HOLY SPIRIT, THE COMFORTER, Jn. 14;26,  brings to remembrance ALL THINGS CHRIST our LORD taught ---what HE SAID to disciples, were given as HOLY SPIRIT, in Jn.20;21,22—

·        We see LORD giving HOLY SPIRIT as HIS BREATH the LIFE of HIS, Jn.  20; 21,22--HOLY SPIRIT is WORDS bringing to remembrance of HIS WORDS, Jn. 14;26, HIS words are SPIRIT, Jn.6;63, COMFORTER is the HOLY SPIRIT, Jn. 14;26

CHRIST CAME AS MESSENGER OF COVENANT

TO PREPARE Levi, for Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5

Mal 3; 1-- I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

2 -But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:

3  And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver,

The IMMORAL sins committed as written in Eze. 22. 8-10, Hos. 4;13-14, Eze. 33;26, Rom. 7;3, as written by HIS WORDS, the HOLY SPIRIT, is terrible than the time of Adam! 

Adam did not know the WORDS of 1 Thes 4; 1-9—

“Fornication—sanctification—lust of concupiscence of gentiles—

LORD avenges of such (takes revenge, on day of vengeance Prov. 6: 34)—

HOLY SPIRIT is given to ABSTAIN from such NOT TO DESPISE HIS NAME,

Called Not to be UNCLEAN, but to HOLINESS, vv. 6-9

1 Thes 4; 3 -For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

4 -That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

5 -Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

6 -That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

7 -For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

8 -He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his HOLY SPIRIT.

9 -But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

·        Acts. 2; 1-4—vs.  4 -And they were all filled with the HOLY SPIRIT, and began to speak with other tongues, as the SPIRIT gave them utterance.

There is a time for everything, Ec 3.

Adam did not receive HOLY SPIRIT to be taught for NEW COVENANT, Adam had NO KNOWLEDGE of NEW COVENANT.

The OLD COVENANT proved of ADULTERIES and following OTHER gods OF ISRAEL HIS people

 Adam could not be taught of many things, he was a babe!, Adam did not know of SECOND COVENANT for which CHRIST our LORD would make HIS ONE OFFERING, Heb. 10: 7-10, 14. 

Adam did not know wonderful counsels of

CHRIST our LORD for HIS Second Covenant

Adam did not know of Levites as 1^st born to be LORD’S—

And HOW CHRIST our LORD became the 1^ST BORN as SON OF GOD

Nu 3:12 -And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

JESUS CHRIST OPENED the MATRIX of HIS MOTHER, Isa 49; 1--

·        This is the REASON why CHRIST our LORD came as MESSENGER of COVENANT written in Mal 3;1

H. W. Armstrong made himself as ELIJAH referring to Mal 3;1

But H. W. Armstrong did not know the COVENANT

He did not teach of GOD’S COVENANT

H. W. Armstrong is a LIAR, and he is followed by Gerald Flurry, Isa 23;15

Today CHRIST our LORD teaches Levi as

MESSENGER OF COVENANT, Mal 3;1

To make them offer RIGHTEOUS OFFERINGS, Mal 3;3

Mal 3; 1--Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

2  But who may abide the day of his coming?

3  And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

We know 1^ST Adam did not know anything of LORD’S COVENANT with Abraham and descendants of David forever as ruler of ISRAEL , 1Ch 28:4  Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever:-- 5  And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

·        So CHRIST our LORD would create a David type man for Ex  16;60!

Mt 23:8  But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.----Master, a title of dignity given by the Jews to their doctors of the law and their distinguished teachers-- Christ is MASTER--Mt 23:7,8 Mr 9:5 --Joh 1:38,49 3:2 6:25 --- also to John, Jn.3:26

·        HE IS HOLY ONE of ISRAEL, therefore we are to LEARN FROM HIM, Isa 17;7. ---learn every word of His from Him, Heb. 1; 1, 2

·        We should see, John and other apostles became TEACHERS of CHRIST our LORD and HIS GRACE for NEW COVENANT for He shed blood of new covenant, Mt. 26.28. ---and

·        CHRIST our LORD breathed on them HOLY SPIRIT, Jn. 20;22, to give LIFE OF HIS, Jn.20;22, just as HE WOULD GIVE others through BAPTIZM, Acts. 2;38, 39, granting EVERLASTING LIFE, to serve in HOLINESS as FRUITS of RIGHTEOUSNESS, Rom.6;19-23.

MASTER SPEAKS and TEACHES, Heb. 1;2, as GOD THE CREATOR, made the WORLDS, Heb. 1;2, would

TEACH the CALLED ONES, to be RAISED, Jn.6;44, 45

(He raises in newness of life by BAPTISMAL words of Rom. 6;3-7)

Heb. 1; 2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

3  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

·        He came as HIS CHRIST, and as SON, Heb. 7;1-3

Kings, rulers were against HIS CHRIST, Martha knew of --“HIS CHRIST ”, Jn.11: 19-27- I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. ---The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of HIS CHRIST, Rev.11;15, we serve the LORD CHRIST, He received the reward of Inheritance, Col 3;24, Mt. 21;37,38, He is heir of all things, Heb. 1;2, Ps.2: 6,7. Read in No.1201 in www.restoringcaptivity.com

Gospel preached from heaven by HOLY SPIRIT, 1Pe 1:12

Laws even tittles and jots magnified—Mt. 5:17-18

Tested by fire –1 Pe 1:7,4,  to receive salvation-----4- To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

No teacher called to Kingdom of Heaven if he/she teaches and breaks the least of Commandments—Mt. 5:19-20

·        Eze 20:24 -Because they had not executed my judgments, despised my statutes, had polluted My SABBATHS, and their eyes after their fathers’ idols.--25 -Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; read more in No. 1157 in www.restoringcaptivity.com

·        WHEN CHRIST our LORD had given BAD STATUTES, HE REQURES Repentance and to have faith in HIS GRACE, being CRUCIFIED with HIM, to understand NOT TO SERVE SIN anymore, when forgiven, Rom.  6; 6,7

SABBATH breakers not ALLOWED in Kingdom of Heaven, they have to REPENT AND RECEIVE GRACE of GOD which is SACRIFICE OF CHRIST our LORD which grants FORGIVENESS to BEGIN a NEW LIFE in JESUS CHRIST as SERVING RIGHTEOUSNESS, keeping EVERY WORD HE KEPT, Lu. 4;4, Mt. 4;4, which had been prophesied, Deut.  8;3!

·        Mt. 5:21-22-if you are angry with brethren without a cause and calls him Raca—it is like murdering brother

·        Mt. 5:28-29-eyes could commit adultery,

·        How much more when one goes to neighbor’s wife, Eze. 33;26 (she would be like a harlot, a strange woman, Prov. 6;26-29)

When you come into the ALTAR OF CHRIST our LORD, Leave your gift and be reconciled first, Mt. 5; 24

·        Without RECONCILING with brethren, spouses (who commits adultery, Hos. 4;13, 14) NO ONE COULD ENTER HIS ALTAR, Mt. 5.

Mt. 5; 32 -But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

33-  Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

34 -But I say unto you, Swear not at all;

·        Those scriptures as HOLY SPIRIT makes us KNOW to REPENT OF SINS to receive SALVATION in heavenly church, Heb. 12;22-25.

PARABLE OF TALENTS

Teaches us that UNPROFITABLE SERVANTS

Would be CAST into DARKNESS, they WEEP. GNASH TEETH!!

And Talents of unprofitable servants would be given to THOSE WHO

USES THE TALENTS profitably for SERVICE of GOD

Read in Mt. 25

Mt. 25; 28 -Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

29 -For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

30 -And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

VANITIES given to CHILDREN OF GOD, Rom.8; 20, so that CHRIST our LORD

Would SAVE THEM by RICHES of HIS GRACE, Eph.1;7

CHILDREN are to SUFFER WITH HIM, Rom. 8;17, knowing from HOLY SPIRIT, Rom. 8;16,  to be joint heirs with JESUS CHRIST –to SUFFER , Rom.  8; 17, as CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, to be FORGIVEN of ALL VANITIES, Rom.6;6,7,  for which they were SUBJECTED to HAVE committed Rom.8; 20.

Rom.  8;20--  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

·        CHRIST our LORD SUBJECTED to works of vanity, SO THAT HE WOULD SAVE THEM BY HIS GRACE! (remember all in world would not be saved, but those whom HE CALLED to TEACH, Jn. 6;44, 45, they are predestined, to be saved, Rom.  8;28-30.

Ec 1: 2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. (Ec 2: 11-- Then I looked on all the works --- and, behold, all was vanity—King Solomon found his works as vanity!

Sore travail hath God given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith, Ec 1: 13 is written as “CREATURE was MADE SUBJECT TO VANITY, but the CREATOR HAS A HOPE through their VANITY, Rom. 8: 20

Just like how Solomon knew ALMIGHTY had given men to exercise vanity, Ec 1: 13, and he found his works as vanity, Ec 2: 11, THE CREATOR has a HOPE through their VANITY, Rom.  8: 20. 

WHAT IS THIS HOPE?-Rom. 8: 21--Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

VANITY of men of God is given to them HAVING THE HOPE OF DELIVERING THEM TO MAKE THEM CHILDREN OF GOD, Rom.  8: 20-21! –men in VANITY, CANNOT SERVE THE MOST HIGH! 

SONS OF GOD become FIRSTFRUITS OF THE SPIRIT--They would be delivered (Given salvation) from Corruption to become children of God, Rom. 8; 21

THEY were subjected to VANITY--Sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith, resulting in VANITY, Ec 1:13, 14,written in Rom.8: 20 as “CREATURE was MADE SUBJECT TO VANITY, but the CREATOR HAS A HOPE through their VANITY! Read in No 753 in www.restoringcaptivity.com

“Multitude of thy merchandise”, “iniquity of thy traffick”-- have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned, Eze.28: 16-18-This is PCG work distributing books LEADERS’ OWN WORDS as their VANITIES–read in No 753  857 www.restoringcaptivity.com

Rom.  8: 20-21! –men in VANITY, CANNOT SERVE THE MOST HIGH! ---Read in No 753 www.restoringcaptivity.com

WHEN MEN serve WITH THEIR OWN SPIRIT (serving with their own words), they SERVE VANITY, Rom.8; 20!

MEN are to SERVE SPIRIT OF GOD, then they WOULD BE SAVED FROM CORRUPTION into GLORIOUS LIBERTY, Rom.8: 21. 

CRUCIFIED CHRIST is

HIS GRACE for us to be saved

Suffer as CRUCIFIED with HIM to receive NEWNESS of LIFE, Rom. 6;3-7

·        When CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, we are forgiven, Rom.  6;6,7

·        And REQUIRED NOT TO SERVE SIN, Rom. 6;6,

·        But SERVE RIGHTEOUSNESS, Rom. 6;18, 20

·        Ro 6:18 0Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.---WE SHOULD NOT HAVE SIN in us, TO SERVE in RIGHTEOUSNESS!

·        Ro 6:20 -For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.---when SIN was  in US, we could NOT PLEASE CHRIST our LORD with OUR SERVICE!

SUFFER as CRUCIFIED with HIM, Rom.  6;6,7

To be GLORIFIED with CHRIST our LORD

Rom.  8: 16 -The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 - And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18  For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

23  And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Gal.  2:20—PAUL was crucified with Him and he knew “CHRIST lives in PAUL”.

·        PAUL knew that CHRIST gave Himself to PAUL and righteousness came through His death. PAUL had received “CHRIST in PAUL”, Gal.  2:20-21, AS REQUIRED by ALL MINISTRY, 2 Co 13;4-7.

When PAUL was told “My Grace is sufficient”—PAUL was carrying  “Dying LORD in his body”, Life of JESUS was manifest in his body, death of JESUS CHRIST was working in PAUL, 2 Co 4:10-12—that means DEATH of CHRIST as His GRACE was working in PAUL!

Life of JESUS was----“SIN-FREE”—Rom.  8:2, as HE KEPT EVERY WORD, Lu. 4;4, Mt. 4;4

Gal.  2:20—PAUL was crucified with Him and he knew “CHRIST lives in PAUL”.

THAT is he had put on CHRIST by BAPTIZM, Gal.  3;26-29

That is GRACE of JESUS CHRIST through HIS DEATH was in PAUL!

·        When you accepted HIS GRACE, “NO SIN” should  be found in you, Rom.  6:14,15

·        If you INSULT SPIRIT of GRACE, you would be PUNISHED, Heb. 10;26-30 because HE WANTS TO SAVE the SINNER somehow!

·        SINNERS should PUT AWAY father of LUSTS, from their lives, Jn.  8;44 for those with LUSTS OF FLESH would NEVER ENTER KINGDOM OF GOD, Gal.  5; 19-21

·        Through GRACE of God, Righteousness came through death of JESUS CHRIST , Gal. 2:21

·        We should not be slaves of sin, Rom.  6:6

·        We should be slaves of Righteousness, Rom.  6:12,13

·        JESUS CHRIST sets us free from sin to be slaves of Righteousness , Rom.  6:18

·        Present your members as slaves of Righteousness to receive holiness, Rom.  6:19

·        When serving as slaves of God, -- having been set free of SIN, your fruit to HOLINESS  results in EVERLASTING LIFE, Rom.  6:22

·        GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE in CHRIST our LORD, Rom.  6:23

·        When become dead to Law through removal of sin by JESUS CHRIST he/she is married to EVERLIV ING JESUS CHRIST to serve God, Rom.  7:4.

·        Then if a member who understands HIS GRACE by death through baptismal words of Rom.  6---MARRIES ANOTHER as adulteress, Rom.  7:3, such would DISGRACE the GRACE of GOD which is given through death of JESUS CHRIST , Gal.  2:21 

HIS SUPREME SACRIFICE to remove SIN from SINNERS is HIS GRACE,  the FREE GIFT, Rom. 5; 13-31!! (Rom.  5; 13-31 would be explained below)—

Read Heb. 10;29—

Heb. 10: 29  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

When you DO NOT HONOUR SPIRIT of GRACE—

·        You a created man/woman TREAD JESUS CHRIST the GOD OF WHOLE EARTH UNDER YOUR FOOT

·        HOLY BLOOD sacrificed is INSULTED!

·        HIS PERFECT COUNSEL to establish EVERLASTING COVENANT is MOCKED AT!

·        HIS HOLY COVENANT is INSULTED as an UNHOLY THING!!

·        NOT REGARDED SPIRIT OF GRACE!

HOW DARE A CREATED BEING SERVING GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, Isa 54;5,  DESPITE SPIRIT OF GRACE of JESUS CHRIST given through HIS PRECIOUS SACRIFICE??

And such a servant who DID Disgrace His holy sacrifice should be given sorer punishment, WHO HAD NOT UNDERSTOOD HIS GRACE, Heb. 10:29

Heb. 10: 29  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Heb. 10: 25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

26  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28  He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

Heb. 10: 29  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

30 -For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

31 -It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

·      Heb. 10;29-Predestined called would be SANCTIFIED  with HOLY BLOOD of COVENANT ------by SPIRIT OF GRACE!

·      That is for SALVATION for EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59;21—

·      BLOOD of COVENANT partaken on PASSOVER

·      Then, ON PASSOVER CHRIST our LORD blesses us with SPIRIT OF GRACE,

·      GRACE is HIS DEATH through CRUCIFIED CHRIST, to FORGIVE for PAST SINS, so that

·      SINNER be sanctified, cleansed of all sins, SO THAT he would NOT SERVE SIN after baptizm, Rom.  6; 6, 7

We gentiles were saved  by Grace, Eph 2:5,6 then we should know by His words the SPIRIT of His, Jn. 6:63 the words of NEW TESTAMENT are built upon HIS Death, HIS TEACHINGS of the SACRIFICE of JESUS CHRIST as ONE OFFERING for the EVERLASTING COVENANT, so that NO ONE WOULD SIN, but SERVE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS!.

Servants of JESUS CHRIST if they had married again against the marriage to LIVING JESUS CHRIST, Rom.7:3,4 –had violated the SPIRIT of GRACE of JESUS CHRIST !

Beware of servants of God who did not remain in same calling,  1 Co 7:20, but married as in Rom.  7:3 against marriage of JESUS CHRIST , Rom.  7:4—THEY WOULD PREACH ANOTHER gospel!

They Disgrace the Holy Blood counting His Grace shedding His Blood

“A common thing “Read Heb. 10 explained in No. 1185 part 2. in www.restoringcaptivity.com

Heb. 10: 26-31(Heb. 10:32-39 were admonishing to gentiles as they joyfully lived  having confidence in JESUS CHRIST

HIS SUPREME SACRIFICE to remove SIN from SINNERS is HIS GRACE, is the FREE GIFT, Rom. 5; 13-31!

Rom.  5 explained below—

Rom.  5; 1 -Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2-By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God

·        FAITH in operation of God to be BURIED in BAPTIZM, Col 2; 12-13 is needed to have FAITH into this GRACE!

·        When JUSTIFIED by FAITH we have ACCESS to HIS GRACE! (Faith in SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST (GOD ALMIGHTY  became a man as JESUS CHRIST because ALMIGHTY is EVERLASTING , HE cannot die, but as “HIS CHRIST” HE CAME as SON of GOD, Heb. 7;1-3)

·        Kings, rulers were against HIS CHRIST, Acts.4.26 , Martha knew of HIS CHRIST, Jn.11: 19-27- I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

·        Author and Finisher of FAITH gives a CLOUD OF WITNESSES, Heb. 12.1, 2, regarding HIS GRACE for HIS SECOND COVENANT, Heb. 10;7-14

Rom.  5; 5 -And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the HOLY SPIRIT which is given unto us.

6 -For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

·        ALL ARE SINNERS, Gal.  3;22, they are UNGODLY!

·        And CHRIST DIED for ALL ungodly, Rom.  5;6

·        Such dead are to LIVE in NEWNESS of LIFE BY BAPTIZM unto HIS DEATH, to receive the GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE, Rom.  6; 3-23

Read of “CLOUD OF WITNESSES” in Nos. 1120 to 1125 Witnesses of His Cloud Heb.12.1 contains witnesses of  HIS FLESH as HIS  SPIRIT Jn.6.63 and HIS BLOOD as DRINK Jn. 6.56 we are to know them as HIS WORDS, when we PASSOVER to HIS Holy Mountain Isa 30.29---

Read Nos. 1120 to 1125 in www.restoringcaptivity.com

·        There are MANY RICHES of HIS GRACE---when REDEMPTION through BLOOD OF CHRIST is granted, Eph.  1;7---Eph 1:7 -In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Eph 2:7 -That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

·        HIS COUNSEL is to MAKE UNDERSTAND RICHES of HIS GRACE in ages to come---that is we would come to know SINS of YOUTH, when JUDGED BY HIM, Ec 11;9-10, on DAY OF LORD, for Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5 !

·        CHRIST our LORD had made known of HIS PEOPLE as HAVING COMMITTED FORNICATION, which despise HIS NAME, 1 Thes 4;1-8, such fornication as mentioned in Eze. 22; 8-10, Hos. 4;13, 14, Eze. 33;26, and THEY hide from SABBATH SIGN, Eze. 22;8, 26!

Read of Immorality of His people from Nos. 1148 in www.restoringcaptivity.com

PAUL was given this GRACE

To preach the UNSEARCHABLE RICHES of CHRIST among gentiles!

CHRIST  3:8  Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of CHRIST ;

·        So this is HOW we preach RICHES OF HIS GRACE!

HIS GRACE would be given for establishment of

EVERLASTING COVENANT for which HE SHED HIS BLOOD, Heb. 13;20

LORD calls SINNERS, to Repentance, Mt. 9;13, Mr.2;17, Lu. 5;32

Rom 5:7--For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 -But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

·        Prodigal son—

Lu. 15: 13--younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

Proverbs of master of proverbs, Ec 12; 9-14 teaches of RIOTOUS eaters of FLESH among WINE BIBBERS, Prov. 23;20, and that

RIOTOUS men DO NOT KEEP LAWS, shaming Fathers, Pr 28;7!

Pr 23:20 - Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

Pr 28:7 - Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

·        Riotous living, as prodigal son, Lu. 15; 13,  includes friendship with world, lusts of flesh, adultery, etc. and Jam. 4; 4-6 says CHRIST our LORD GIVES MORE GRACE to such sinners, whom He had called, when they HUMBLE, Jam. 4;6- -But He giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble

PRODIGAL SONS AND DAUGHTERS are found on DAY OF LORD, Jam. 4;4 

Jam. 4; 4 -Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

·        Today CHRIST our LORD had judged adulterers, and adulteresses –Eze. 22;8-12, Rom.  7;3, Hos. 4;13, 14, Eze. 33;26 (some had coveted neighbour’s wives)

5 -Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

·        Lusts of Flesh had worked until they are wretched, and CHRIST our LORD saves them, Rom.  7;9-24

Jam. 4; 6 -But He giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

·        They need MORE GRACE!

·        CHRIST our LORD finds One sheep WHICH HAD GONE ASTRAY!

Lu 15:4 -What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

SUCH A LOST SHEEP GONE ASTRAY needs MORE GRACE!

Jam. 4; 6 -But He giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

·        Zacchaeus

Lu. 19: 1-10---Zacchaeus a rich and A CHIEF man among PUBLICANS,  vs. 2." A short of stature,”, hastened to see JESUS before the multitude came—CHRIST our LORD passed through Jericho, vs. 1—Zcchaeus climbed up a sycamore tree that he might be able to see him. OUR LORD reached the spot , VS. 4-- looked up to the publican among the branches, and addressing him by name, told him to make haste and come down, as He intended that day to abide at his house, VS. 5.

6 -And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

7--  And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

 Lu. 19; 8-And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

·        ZACCHAEUS the RICH PUBLICAN, Lu. 19, Repented of HIS PUBLICAN WORKS—HE SAID TO THE LORD so, vs. 8

9  And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, for so much as he also is a son of Abraham.

10  -For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

·        CHRIST our LORD came to seek LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL, who are of COVENANT of Abraham!---Mt 15:24  But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.--- Mt 10:6  But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Zacchaeus type of PUBLICANS who had COVETED MONEY are among HIS PEOPLE ---they need MORE GRACE---LORD calls SINNERS, to Repentance, Mt. 9;13, Mr.2;17, Lu. 5;32 ---they need MORE GRACE, Jam 4; 6

·        And it is prophesied that PUBLICANS AND HARLOTS come first to KINGDOM OF GOD, Mt. 21; 31-- Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

·        So we see CHRIST our LORD had prophesied of harlots and Publicans coming to KINGDOM OF GOD ---they WOULD FIND MORE GRACE from HIM as they REPENT OF THEIR DEEDS! they need MORE GRACE, Jam 4; 6

·        For they know of Rev. 21; 27 --- And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.-----Gal.  5;19-21—says adulterers, and all who have LUSTS OF FLESH would NEVER INHERIT KINGDOM OF GOD---which means THEY WOULD be OUSTED from CHURCH OF CHRIST our LORD!

Then JESUS CHRIST said a parable how HE WOULD take away

TALENTS from those who do not use, AND GIVES TO WHO EARNED

MORE TALENTS, Lu. 19: 11-26  

Lu 19:26 -For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

Lu 19:27-But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

·        ENEMIES of CHRIST our LORD does not use the Talents they received!

·        They were HIDING FROM SABBATHS, Eze. 22;26!

Rom.  5; 9-Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

·        WE COULD SEE many riches of HIS GRACE which would SAVE US FROM the TROUBLES sinners face!

ENEMIES of CHRIST our LORD saved , RECONCILED by HIS GRACE,

Saved by HIS LIFE, Rom.5;10, He provides Atonement, vs. 11

Rom.5;10 -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.

11 -And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Rom.  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:

·        Adam brought sin into the world--

13 -(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

·        Then we serve BY GRACE of CHRIST AS PAUL did, 1 Co 15; 10 (written below)

·        Remember PAUL served in TRUTH! ---he was a TRUE WITNESS!

14 -Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

·        JESUS CHRIST was to come as LAST Adam, 1 Co 15; 45

1Co 15:45-And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.---

·        1^st Adam was just a living soul

·        CHRIST quickens sinners to LIVE!

21 -For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

·        Just as CHRIST raised from dead, CHRIST our LORD makes sinners to be FREE OF SIN and raise them in NEWNESS OF LIFE, when they have FAITH TO RECEIVE that GREAT GIFT of GRACE, Rom.  6; 3-23. (Gift of Eternal life, Rom.  6; 22-23, by GIFT OF GRACE of GOD, Rom.  5; 15)

1 Co 15;22 -For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

·        That is GRACE of GOD given as a GIFT by SACRIFICE of CHRIST --Rom 5;15--But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

1 Co 15; 3-Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

PAUL was born again in DUE TIME, vs. 8, after he persecuted church, when LORD called him, 1Co15; 8, 9

PAUL laboured more BECAUSE OF GRACE OF GOD

As HE RAISED (BORN AGAIN, Vs.8, his sins were forgiven, vs. 3).

1 Co 15; 10  But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

·       Because of GRACE OF GOD (when Born again, vs8) –PAUL was able to LABOUR---

·       That is-- PAUL could SERVE GOD Because of GRACE OF GOD!

11 -Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

14 -And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

·        If CHRIST is NOT RISEN, we are NOT ABLE to Rise without sin, BUT WE RAISE IN NEWNESS OF LIFE, when baptized unto HIS DEATH, because HE RAISED, Rom.  6; 3-7, SO BY GRACE we are RAISED, by HIS DEATH we are RAISED, as HE RAISED from DEAD, Jn. 10;18

15-Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

·        HIS WITNESSES should be TRUE WITNESSES---

LORD had said to us, “take up your cross and come to me—

Mt 16:24 -Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.---“DENY” yourself means to give up worldliness, to store treasures in heaven, Mr.10;21

So when we are called to SERVE HIM, we are TO GIVE UP WORLDLINESS!!

We are RAISED IN NEWNESS OF LIFE by BAPTIZM, forgiving sins, Rom.  6; 3-7, IS TO make them as Levi, in Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5 –for HE CAME AS MESSENGER OF COVENANT, Mal 3;1

When PAUL was raised he was GIVEN HIS GRACE, 1 Co 15; 8

·        JESUS CHRIST HAD POWER to be RAISED, Jn.10;18 (as He is God)

·        SO GOD poured HIS GRACE as HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION!

·        Similarly, we take our cross

·        IF DEAD raise not, we cannot rise too in newness of life, as BORN AGAIN, ----then WE ARE

16-For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

17-And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

Rom. 5; 15 -But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

16-And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

READ HOW PAUL served ABUNDANTLY than others

Through GRACE OF GOD

That is grace of God received by baptizm unto death of CHRIST

IS VITAL TO SERVE GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, Isa 54;5

1 Co 15: 53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

58 -Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

PAUL served abundantly through GRACE OF GOD

Received when PAUL was born again by words of baptizm

PAUL WROTE----Paul was born again in due time, 1 Co15;8,-(That is he was BORN in NEWNESS OF LIFE, without SIN, Rom.  6;3- 7) then, -1 Co 15; 10  by grace of God I am what I am: and his grace that was bestowed upon me was not in vain; I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.—

·        It is GRACE of GOD which enabled PAUL to LABOUR ABUNDANTLY than ALL OTHERS!!

·        It is GRACE of GOD that enabled PAUL to serve CHRIST in TRUTH which is CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Gal. 3;1, because PAUL became a NEW MAN in CHRIST when he was CRUCIFIED with CHRIST, for “CHRIST to LIVE in PAUL”,Gal.2;20-21

·        “CHRIST IN PAUL”, Gal. 2;20-21—

·         PAUL wrote-that GRACE OF GOD enabled him to SERVE in TRUTH---1 Co 15; 10  by grace of God I am what I am: and his grace that was bestowed upon me was not in vain; I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me

·        PAUL also wrote that WE ARE TO “PUT ON CHRIST” by baptizm, Gal.  3; 26-29---that is WE ARE TO RECEIVE GRACE OF GOD by baptizm unto DEATH of CHRIST, to be freed from SINS UNDER LAW, Rom.  6;3-7!

·        PAUL recieved GRACE of GOD given as a GIFT by SACRIFICE of CHRIST --Rom 5;15--But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, MUCH MORE THE GRACE of GOD, and the GIFT BY GRACE, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

GIFT OF GRACE and GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,

GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE given by CRUCIFIED CHRIST,

Rom. 5:17-19 , Rom. 6: 3-23, Tit 2;11,Tit. 3.7

Rom.  5; 17-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.)

18 -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.

·        That is RIGHTEOUSNESS of CHRIST our LORD enables TO SERVE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS without SERVING SIN, ---when one have FAITH in baptizm unto His death, Rom.  6;3—13---enabling to produce fruits of Righteousness as Holiness, then to RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE, Rom.  6;19-23.

Tit 2:11- For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Tit 3:7-That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Rom.  5; 19 -For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

·        By OBEDIENCE to HIS WORDS of Rom.  6; 3-23, MANY be MADE RIGHTEOUS, Rom.  5; 19

GRACE of GOD through sacrifice of CHRIST our LORD

Is NEEDED TO SERVE HIM in RIGHTEOUSNESS unto ETERNAL LIFE

Rom.  5; 20 -Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

Rom.  5: 21 -That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

WE SHOULD BE GLAD to RECEIVE BLESSINGS from HIS SACRIFICE which is HIS GRACE, Heb. 2;9-- He by the grace of God should taste death for every man

      Dying Lord teaches us to forgive one another

·        Only called are raised—Jn 6:44,45

·        From His words we know His counsels He had given us to forgive

·        Covenant cannot be perpetuated without His Grace which teaches how He forgives by His cross to make us Righteous

·        Words of life Eternal Life given through word of baptism, Ro 6:19-23

·        Statutes are to be kept for Him to forgive and forget sins of people—Eze 18—When PCG (as ISRAEL, Rom.  9; 4-7) did not keep STATUTES of Covenant, LORD gave BAD STATUTES, Eze.20;25---they became UNRIGHTEOUS, but when they keep statutes which are lawful they become RIGHTEOUS, and would be forgiven, and sins would be forgotten,  Eze. 18; 21-22

·        Service of ISRAEL as Impurity of women –Eze 36:17

·        Lawlessness becomes more—Ro 6:19

·        Law is magnified –every tittle and jot is to be kept–Mt 5: 17, 18

When dying Lord is in our body we remember His words to” forgive one another” --Mt 6 -  In Daily prayer He taught to disciples (His breath to give Eternal Life, Jn 20:22, is the power He gave for the words given to disciples, THEREFORE THEY WROTE BOOKS of NEW TESTAMENT) their words contain those words He taught to disciples, they HAVE POWER of GOD!

Therefore we also know that He would not forgive those who do not forgive, Mt 6:13,14 for by Riches of His Grace He forgives, Eph 1:7, when Crucified with Him He said not to serve sin, saying so,  He forgave our sins, Ro 6:6,7

Therefore His Grace shed by His death teaches us to forgive one another—then we could love one another, that is how HE CREATES PEACE by His Cross, by His Blood, Col 1:20

When ISRAEL PCG did not keep STATUTES of Covenant, LORD gave BAD STATUTES, Eze.20;25---they became UNRIGHTEOUS, but when they keep statutes which are lawful they become RIGHTEOUS, and would be forgiven, and sins would be forgotten,  Eze. 18; 21-22

·        Therefore those WHO UNDERSTAND NEW COVENANT, through HIS ONE OFFERING, Heb. 10: 7-10, 14, would NOT BE JUDGED anymore, Eze. 18; 

Col 2;16 -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:

OLD COVENANT STATUTES were ONLY A SHADOW

NEW COVENANT to be kept THROUGH BODY OF CHRIST

Col 2; 17-Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

·        So it was POINTLESS to judge OLD COVENANT, as it passes away, but PEOPLE OF CHRIST our LORD should SEEK NEW COVENANT which is EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59;21

Ex 31:13  Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily MY SABBATHS ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
