WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
WHEN GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST IS SHOWN?
1ST Nov
2011
Referring to article
of Mr. S. Flurry on “grace”, ---
Yes, many
explanations of that article are true, but we should see how LORD’s grace applies as present truth—in
that article Eph 2: 8 was misinterpreted, and the biblical proof of that vs. is
written in this article—here is a very short account—WHEN YOU READ THESE SCRIPTURES---you will understand how the LORD works!
This is not a
question of pointing errors---BUT
UNDERSTANDING BIBLICAL TRUTHS! God’s children
should learn from one another as God had appointed them!
WHY GRACE IS GIVEN--
ISRAEL
declares about their
Righteousness in -Isa 64:6 But we are
all as an unclean
thing,
and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;---THEY ARE UNCLEAN!
But the LORD changes
their Righteousness –They will be given Righteousness as FINE LINEN!---Re 19:
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give
honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made
herself ready.--8 And to her was
granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and
white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.---THEY ARE CLEAN!
Examine Ro 6:
3-7, 19,22 to confirm that Righteousness is given according to those vss. ---Therefore PLEASE NOTE---when
you are changed into a new man, you would have FINE LINEN!--You should NOT HAVE
filthy rags anymore!
THEN YOU CANNOT DECLARE THAT YOUR Righteousness IS AS FILTHY
RAGS!----Isa 64: 6 should not be repeated by
cleansed spiritual ISRAEL!
Note that you are to
change!
Ps
94:15 -judgment will return to
righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it. --there
is a Judgment after which Righteousness follows, upright will follow!---—THEY LIVE A NEW LIFE –cleansed people will be
UPRIGHT!
Examine the
following--
- All ISRAEL is not ISRAEL, but those who
have the covenant right, God’s service, promises are ISRAEL, Rom 9: 4,6.
but as present truth the covenant is broken Ez 44: 7 because they brought
aliens to SANCTUARY, Ez 44: 7, Jer 51: 51.
- These ISRAEL know that all have failed
through law, the wages of sin is death, Ro 6:23, and that
their Righteousness is as filthy rags, Isa 64: 6, and that they would be
saved by grace as the LORD’s gift is given to sinners, Ro 6:23.THEY DESERVE DEATH—BUT---LORD GRANTS
LIFE THROUGH GRACE, THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE OF HIS BLOOD!
- These ISRAEL know that the bride of
Christ would be granted fine linen, that is the Righteousness of saints! –Re
19: 8 ---examine and confirm that this Righteousness is given according to Ro 6: 3-7, 19,22, and Col 2: 12,13.
- That is---the help meet of JESUS CHRIST
(new Jerusalem, Re 21: 2), should get Righteousness of saints! Since she
has failed through law, she does not have it—further she had broken the
covenant, Ez 16: 59, which she made in Ez 16: 8!—this is PCG!—the bride
of Christ is not able to marry until she is made righteous!—then the only
answer is to be baptized into His death, Ro 6: 3-7, Col 2: 12,13.
Further---
- The LORD had profaned the SANCTUARY,
Eze. 24: 21—the ministry of PCG are in captivity as the leader is in
captivity, Ez 12: 3-15.—therefore, the help meet cannot serve Him in His
TABERNACLE!-----BRIDE IS NOT READY TO MEET HIM!
- This is why LORD had to get the poor who
hear Him, Isa 14: 30,32.
- LORD’s prophecies would fulfill during
the leaders’ time, Ez 12: 25-28-- Ps 94:15 -judgment will return to righteousness,
---that means after Judgment, Righteousness would be given—the
LORD will make them know how to return to Him—it is through taking words
of His, Hos 14: 1,2.
- Which words should they take? –Ro 6: 3-7,
Col 2: 12,13
- They should seek His grace, just as
gentiles were saved through grace, Eph 2: 8!
EPH. CHAPTER 2
Vs. 8-- by grace are ye saved through faith; -- not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Prove from scriptures that Eph 2; 8 IS SPOKEN OF
GENTILES--
Eph 2: 11 - Wherefore remember, that ye being in
time past Gentiles
12 That at that
time ye were without Christ,--- and strangers from the covenants of
promise,---13--But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made
nigh by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2: 5-6--Even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)---6 And hath raised us up together, and made us
sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:-- 7
That in the ages to
come he might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His
kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.- 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith-- it
is the gift of God:
Compare Eph 2: 7—with Rom 9: 23-26
Ro 9:23 and
that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels
of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,--24-- even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the
Gentiles?-- 25 -As He says also in Hosea: "I will
call them My people, who were not My people, And her beloved, who was not
beloved."
26
"And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My people,’ There they shall be called sons of the living
God."
Compare with Isa 56: 4-7---Eph 2 , Rom 9 above vss. fulfill in Isa 56: 4-7
4- thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep My
sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and take hold of My covenant;
5 Even unto them
will I give in Mine house and within My walls a place and a name
better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name,
that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons
of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him, and to
love the name of the LORD, to be His servants, every one that keepeth
the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of My covenant;
7 Even them will I
bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer:
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon Mine altar;
for Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Isa 56: 8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of
Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to Him, beside those that are gathered
unto Him.---Isa 56: 8—SAYS THAT ISRAEL ARE PRESENTLY
OUTCASTS, ---and they are to be gathered from captivity, (they did forsake the
LORD and His covenant, therefore they were scatterd in nations, Ez 12: 15, many
of our articles would show--http://www.restoringcaptivity.com )
Isa
11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for
the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the
dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
That is
the second exodus—Isa 11: 11-- And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set His
hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be
left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from
Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
(islands
of sea ---as the LORD’s people of ISRAEL are in “SEA” La 2: 13)
The of gentiles of
outer court—of Re 11: 2, are those discussed in Eph 2: 11-13, Rom 9, Isa 56—they
are already saved through grace, by HIS BLOOD, VS. 13, in heavenly places,
Eph 2: 5,6, (which means
they had gone through the baptism into death, Rom 6: 3-7 to be raised with
JESUS CHRIST, Eph 1: 20) and
they became the 1st fruits of poor,Isa 14: 30, who trust in
JESUS CHRIST, Isa 14: 32, while ISRAEL root is having famine, Isa 14: 30 (there
is a Assyrian in God’s land, Isa 14: 25,26 who does not know the ways to guard
LORD’s temple! We had shown these things in our writings)
- Therefore, when ISRAEL are in captivity,Eze.
39: 28, 29, Ez 12: 15, the gentiles of outer court, from far, Eph 2:
12,13, would tread the holy city, Re
11: 2, (that is Jerusalem which had abominations, Ez 16: 2), --gentiles
got the light of JESUS CHRIST to serve Him through His blood, Eph
2: 13, by baptizm into LORD’s death, Ro 6: 3-6--- and they are serving Him
in house of God, Isa 56: 4-6.
Notice---when PCG
broke covenant, Ez 44: 7—gentiles took hold of covenant, Isa 56: 4-6—SO THIS LIGHT OF LORD’S BAPTIZM IS OPEN TO ISRAEL ,
GENTILES SHOW THE LIGHT TO ISRAEL, Isa 60: 3! ISRAEL SHOULD RETURN TO HIM,
TAKING THE WORDS, Hos 14: 1,2 , THE WORDS OF ROM 6: 3-7, TO RETURN TO HIM IN Righteousness TO SERVE HIM, RO 6: 19,22.
LORD called us
from FAR (Eph 2: 11-13)---FAR—or---AFAR--
Look at the
scriptures when LORD does His work with the far off gentiles—they are of
Tarshish, from AFAR---Isa 23: 6, 7 (they had to speak against Tyre, vs. 8—we
wrote of Tyre—70 years given to one king—H.W.Armstrong followed by Gerald
Flurry, Isa 23:15 )---ISRAEL would be saved from afar through LORD’s work
amongst us from far, Jer 46:27 --Jer 51:50--Jer 30:10---Jer 31:10—FROM FAR--Isa
13:5 (13: 2-6{it is LORD’S DAY})-Isa 5:26—LORD’s day is gentiles times, Ez 30:
3, the messengers in ships, vs. 9—LORD leads us in His battle against the
temple priests, Isa 30:27, against the Assyrian, vs. 31( vs. 31--through the
voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down,----ONE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT WE BRING THE LORD’S
VOICE!)---THERE ARE MANY MORE SCRIPTURES TO SHOW THAT WE GENTILES ARE FROM FAR,
AND THAT THE LORD IS WORKING WITH US TO STRAITEN MATTERS IN HIS CHURCH AS THE
PRIESTS BROKE THE COVENANT WHICH WE HAD WITNESSED, Eze. 39: 21-23, 44: 7, 20:
29 (AT Bamah --http://www.gentileassembly.org )
SO WHEN PAUL BECAME THE
MINISTER TO GENTILES, RO 15: 16, HE TEACHES US GENTILES THROUGH HIS WRITINGS,
THE WORDS OF THE LORD!
(read Paul’s
example, http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
)
Therefore in Eph
2---it is spoken of gentiles—vs. 11-12 says they did not know God, did not have
the covenant etc. since ISRAEL had the covenant of God, Ro 9: 4,6---Eph 2 is
about the gentiles---if you check, Eph 2: 5,6 says gentiles are in heavenly
places just as the LORD after He raised, Eph 1: 20, {that is because they are
raised with Christ, LORD through His mercy and grace had cleansed gentiles
through His blood, Eph 2: 13, that means the LORD had made the gentiles go
through the baptizm into His death---otherwise we cannot get a sprinkling of
His blood, to be raised, to be resurrected!}---more below--
IT IS THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST THAT PURIFIES
AND AS HE RAISED WE WOULD BE RAISED
- THEREFORE WE SHOULD REALISE THAT LORD CLEANSES
HIS SERVANTS WITH HIS BLOOD SO THAT HE COULD WORK WITH
THEM.
- LORD cleanses even the altar and all
things pertaining to the SANCTUARY, with blood, as Ezekiel temple matters
shows, Ez 43: 18-25 (because the whole land of God was defiled, Jer 16:18,
LORD too profaned the church, Ez 24: 21).
- Gentiles were cleansed through grace, Eph 2: 8-12 (vs. 8--by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:)—(please
note—as written above, Eph 2 discuss about gentiles , vs. 11-12)
- In Eze. 16: 6 PCG leaders were cleansed
before He made the covenant, in vs. 8---He made Jerusalem (the bride) to
LIVE! That means the LORD purified them to make them to serve Him
in His covenant!
- But gentiles were sometimes far away
from ISRAEL, Eph 2: 11-12 as stated above! ---Eph 2: 11-13--sometimes were
far off are made
nigh by the blood of Christ.
- Therefore the gentiles
serve Him in His Righteousness, Isa 54: 17, gentiles got this
Righteousness through His blood through GRACE!---and they took hold of the covenant and became
His people, Isa 56: 4-6 when LORD profaned PCG
SANCTUARY, Eze. 24: 21.
Where do you get His blood? ---when He died on the
cross!
Then one has to go
through His death, Rom
6: 6 shows we are going through His cross (see below—when you do so, we are
freed from sin)---that is why we are to be baptized into His
death—Ro 6: 3, Col 2: 12-13.
Following vss are
self explanatory--
Rom 6: 3 Know
ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized
into His death?
4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism
into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.--5 For if we have been planted together in the
likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not
serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we
believe that we shall also live with Him:
Col 2: 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;
Those vss are self explanatory—We are to
bury with Him—we are to be baptized into His death!--Then just as He
raised—we too raise, freed from sin---
We Resurrect without SIN! ---sinless—in newness of life! Afterwards, depart from
sin, 2 Tim 2: 19.---WE ARE TO HAVE FAITH
IN THE OPERATION OF GOD!
WHEN WE HAVE FAITH IN GOD TO
BE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH TO BE QUICKENED AND TO BE FORGIVEN, TO BE RIGHTEOUS
TO SERVE HIM---HE WOULD GRANT IT THROUGH HIS GRACE, BY HIS BLOOD OF THE NEW COVENANT,
MT 26: 28, Heb 12:24
WHEN
THE BLOOD IS blood of the
covenant ---IT MEANS WE ARE PREPARED TO
MAKE THE NEW COVENANT!—Ez 16: 60-63 WOULD HAPPEN!
(all sins of spiritual harlotry, breaking covenant , Ez
44: 7, sins committed against brethren by disfellowshipping them ,
wickednesses, etc., are forgotten forever! ---nobody is able to judge us,
the LORD had paid for our sins, and He had forgiven, because even if we sin
against some one, IT IS AGAINST HIM THAT WE SIN, 1Co
8:12, ONLY JESUS CHRIST HAS THE POWER TO FORGIVE, Mt
9:6, Mr 2:10 , Lu 5:24,
And HIS BLOOD IS FOR REMISSION OF SINS, IT IS THE BLOOD OF
THE COVENANT, Mt 26:28, there is no remission of sins without shedding
blood, Heb 9:22 , and no other offerings for remission of sins, Heb 10:18—
Ps.94:15 -judgment will return to righteousness,
--- after making the gentiles to have His Righteousness , Ro 6: 19, 22, through His blood, Eph 2: 13, LORD judged PCG through them, Ez 16:
40-42,
When the LORD makes covenant BLOOD is needed for
dedication, Heb 9:18, therefore, when gentiles took hold of the covenant, Isa
56: 4-6, they too had to be pruified with blood, Eph 2: 13!
SO WE SEE HOW THE LORD
PURIFIES ALL THINGS AND PEOPLE WHO SERVE HIM WITH HIS BLOOD—WHEN HE MAKES
ETERNAL THINGS! THIS IS PRIOR TO Isa 66: 22,23.
Therefore now to
make the new covenant—PCG leaders and any believers who require to fall into
the category of bride, HAS TO BE PURIFIED
THROUGH HIS BLOOD OF THE COVENANT, MT 26: 28.
THEREFORE WE SEE THAT THROUGH GRACE HE MAKES HIS BLOOD
AND HIS DEATH TO CREATE NEWNESS IN MEN WHO ARE CONDEMNED AS UNRIGHTEOUS!
Through grace of
JESUS CHRIST, He paves the way for sinners to be cleansed through His blood to
resurrect in newness of life, so that they are sinless—and righteous to serve
Him.
We are not to sin
anymore! Ro 6: 6—we should not serve sin anymore—but SERVE Righteousness, Ro 6:
19, 22--
Ro 6: 13-- Neither
yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but
yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and
your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
COULD WE SEE---we are to yield to be servants
to God in Righteousness!
WHAT DO WE
UNDERSTAND?---Through the
baptizm into His death---we are Resurrected in newness of life, as sinless and
righteous------TO SERVE GOD
IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! --Vs. 18
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.--22 But now being made
free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting
life.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of
the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to
uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto
holiness.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Therefore GRACE of
JESUS CHRIST had made us righteous to serve Him, when ISRAEL sinned, it was Isa
64: 6 (Righteousness as filthy rags because of iniquity)---but when they get
baptized into His death---they become sinless—righteous—and fruit unto
holiness----and life everlasting! –after that they should produce fruits of the spirit, Gal 5: 22-24,
and depart from iniquity, 2 Tim 2: 19, Ga 5:16-18,
THE RESULT OF PURIFYING
MINISTRY IS SEEN----Zec 14:20--In
that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD;
the pots in the LORD’S house shall be
like the bowls before the altar. (He is the potter, ministry are pots)
LORD makes His
people get His baptizm into His death, which makes the ministry as gold and
silver—Mal 3: 3 would be accomplished!).
Earlier, ISRAEL
ministry was cut off from registry of ISRAEL, Eze. 13: 9, but now when they are
purified, LORD will see a holy seed from ISRAEL which is the pleasure of the
LORD, Isa 53: 10, the generations of ISRAEL would continue forever, Isa 59: 21.
Thus the grace of JESUS CHRIST is shown through His
sacrifice of His blood of the covenant through which He will make the new
covenant with His people who serve Him as the help meet and they would dwell with
Him in His TABERNACLE, Re 21: 2,3. Re 7: 14,15, they would be as silver and
gold, Mal 3: 3.
The blessings of the
cross of JESUS CHRIST are numerous, that is why Paul preached Him and Him
crucified, 1 Co 2: 2.
Please see articles referring
to His cross in ------ http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
We should not
disgrace His HOLY BLOOD of the covenant by sinning again, Heb 10:29, we should
depart from iniquity, 2 TIM 2: 19, and produce fruits of spirit, Gal 5: 22-23.
THEREFORE, WHAT SHOULD BE
DONE WHEN GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST IS SHOWN?
WE OUGHT TO HAVE FAITH IN HIM
FOR HIM TO DO THE OPERATION TO MAKE US FREE OF SINS, TO BE RIGHTEOUS TO STAND
BEFORE HIM TO MAKE THE NEW COVENANT .
Isa 62: 4-5 WOULD HAAPEN---
Isa 62 : 4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken;
neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called
Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land
shall be married.---5 For as a young man
marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom
rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
Heb 12:14 --- holiness, without which no man shall see
the Lord:
All praise and
thanksgiving be to JESUS CHRIST who shed His precious blood to make us Holy to
stand before Him, Amen.
