PART 7 CROSS OF JESUS
CHRIST PAVES WAY TO MAKE NEW MEN IN CHRIST
CHAPTER 1--WHO ARE THE
OLD MEN OF ISRAEL?
CHAPTER 2--THEY HAVE TO
BE BAPTISED AND BE BORN AGAIN
CHAPTER
3--NEW MEN BAPTISED INTO JESUS CHRIST SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE!
CHAPTER
4--THE LORD GAVE ISRAEL STATUTES NOT GOOD, TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND THAT SUCH
WOULD NOT PROFIT THEM
CHAPTER 5—ABIDE IN ME
AND MY WORDS
CHAPTER 6-- THOUGHTS
FOR NEW MEN TO KEEP CHRIST’S COMMANDS
INTRODUCTION
Ez 44 ; 7 In that ye have brought into My sanctuary strangers,
uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to
pollute it,-- IF ANY
MAN COULD SERVE CHRIST, WHY DID HE FIND FAULT WITH THE STRANGERS?
Because they
are not sanctified and made holy by the LORD! He had not chosen everybody to be
serving Him as ministers!
THE LORD HAD SANCTIFIED
FOR HIS SERVICE THE CALLED OUT OF ISRAEL, ROM 9: 4,6. we gentiles were taken as
a seed, Rom 9: 29, 30 to serve Him AS WE HAD BEEN IN WCG, PCG, and known the
ways of the LORD, we were baptised in WCG, WE WITNESSED
THE ABOMINATION OF PCG, Ez 44:7 AS THE LORD SAYS, Eze. 39: 21-23, THEREFORE---we
were chosen for Re 11: 2-4, Isa 56: 4-7, after purifying through His blood, Eph 2: 13, to
serve Him in His house, Isa 56: 4-6, and for Zec 12: 8-10 work, acts 28:
28 also, because we hear Him, to be obedient to Him. Then through us the LORD
gives His light to ISRAEL, Isa 60: 3.
As the LORD’s way is in
the SANCTUARY, Ps. 77: 13, He is very particular who enters His SANCTUARY, Ez
44: 5-7.
And when you mix up with
STRANGERS, THE LORD SAYS YOU HAVE BROKEN HIS COVENANT—Ez 44: 7 -- brought into My sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised
in heart,--- to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it,--- when ye offer My bread,--- they have broken My covenant because of all your
abominations.
8 And ye have not kept the charge of Mine
holy things: but ye have set keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for
yourselves.
THEN WHEN THE
LORD MAKES NEW MEN MAKING THEM TO BE BORN AGAIN THROUGH HIS BAPTISM, HE
REQUIRES NEW MEN TO KNOW ALL THINGS OF HIM, TO GUARD AND PRESERVE THOSE THINGS,
AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS SO THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO GUARD HIS SANCTUARY, AND
HIS PEOPLE, THE SHEEP.
Any one cannot come to His presence in the SANCTUARY unless
they are sanctified! He does
not want His covenant to be shared with people who are NOT SANCTIFIED!
1
NEW MEN HAVE TO BE
THOROUGH WITH HIS COMMANDMENTS SO THAT THEY DO NOT MAKE ANY MISTAKE WHEN THE
ETERNAL COVENANT IS MADE!
A SINNING MINISTRY CANNOT COME INTO THE PRESENCE OF JESUS
CHRIST! In Mal 3: 3 the LORD came to purify ministry! They should learn the ways of SANCTUARY, Ps. 77:
13.
A PROVERB IN ISRAEL
Eze 12:22 "Son of man, what is this proverb that
you people have about the land of Israel, which says, ‘The days are prolonged,
and every vision fails’? (they wonder “why no place of
safety”, why the words of H.W.Armstrong are not coming to pass?”)
Eze 12:23 "Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the
Lord GOD: "I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it
as a proverb in Israel." But say to them, "The days are at hand, and
the fulfillment of every vision.
When PCG
broke the covenant, they became Laodicean –and the MESSENGER OF THE COVENANT,
JESUS CHRIST came suddenly to the temple, Mal 3:1 , Laodiceans DID NOT SEE!
(Ho 4:5--the prophet
also shall fall with thee in the night, Ps. 74: 9)
Lu 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate:
----Ye shall not see me, until the time
come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Zep 3:20 At that time will I bring you again, even in
the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among
all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
SO THE ISRAEL
WERE DESOLATE, AND THEIR CAPTIVITY WOULD BE TURNED BACK BY JESUS CHRIST!
2
CHAPTER 1--WHO ARE THE OLD MEN OF ISRAEL?
Eze 12:25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word
that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say
the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
During the time of PCG,
the last era church, the captivity would be returned and they would become new
men in Christ, they would be changed, therefore the called out ISRAEL during
this period would be the old men.
PCG leader who broke
the covenant and who was sent to spiritual Babylon , Ez 17: 19-20, broke the marriage
covenant made in Ez 16: 8, ---in vs. 59. Bamah matter, which is mentioned in Ez
44: 7, says covenant was broken through that matter.
So
Ez 17: 19, 20 shows that
it is THIS LEADER OF PCG who is IN SPIRITUAL Babylon! THEREFORE ALL
BABYLONIAN PROPHECIES RECORDED IN PROPHECIES ARE DIRECTED AT THE LEADER AND HIS
MINISTERS.
They
are also considered as Judah and Jerusalem!
So
the LORD’s work today is to take away their sins--Isa 27:9, that vs. said what
will happen when the MINISTRY is beaten AS CHALK—
The groves and images they
had will not stand up!
The raised image of
H.W.Armstrong would not stand up!
HIS VOICE WILL BE HEARD NO
MORE!
HIS WORK WILL NOT flourish
ANYMORE!
THEN
THE ALTAR WOULD BE PURIFIED!
THE
SINS WOULD BE PURGED, and they would put on clothes of
Righteousness—Revelations 19: 7-8
The
old men have not heard what the LORD would do—Isa 48: 6-8
Gerald
Flurry was shown by gentile witness work ALL NEW THINGS JESUS CHRIST
DECLARED—Gerald Flurry never explained many of the parables or things that we
speak—because he did not know—
Now, when the Eze. Temple is to be MADE—when
it is spiritually sanctified—Gerald Flurry has to listen to the ordinances of
the altar!
Otherwise the LORD would not accept!-Eze.
48: 13.
Isa 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass,
and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
New things are told by
the gentiles!
3
CHAPTER 2--THEY HAVE TO BE BAPTISED AND BORN AGAIN
1
Pe 1: 3 --Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
according to His abundant mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and
undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who
are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be
revealed in the last time.” (1Pe 1:3-5 NKJV)
1 Pe 1: 3 –to come through the Resurrection
of JESUS CHRIST –one has to be baptized into His death, Ro 6: 3-7! That is how
you could be born again! Examine 1 Pe 1: 3!
Mr 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned. ---DONE
THROUGH THE WORD---Eph 5:26 that He
might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
A nation of priesthood has to be born again!
1Pe
1:23 Being born again, not of
corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which
liveth and abideth for ever.
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him
PRIESTHOOD SHOULD
SHOWFORTH THE PRAISES OF JESUS CHRIST –not praises of any men!
Ec 8:4 Where the word of a king is, there is power:
Eze 12:25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word
that I shall speak shall come to pass;
THE LORD’S WORK IS TO BUILD THE CITY OF GOD IN
Righteousness and in truth to make the eternal covenant --
Isa 45:13 I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways;
He shall build My city And let My exiles go free, Not for price nor
reward," Says the LORD of hosts.
Isa 61:8 "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate
robbery for burnt offering; I
will direct their work in truth, And will make with them an everlasting
covenant.
The LORD intention is to
bless His chosen PEOPLE –BETTER THAN AT BEGINNINGS!-Eze. 36: 11
As ISRAEL does not hear, the gentiles were grafted so that they
would give light of JESUS CHRIST to ISRAEL--
FIRST BORN WERE THE GENTILES WHO GOT Revelations
IN ACTS 2; 17-18, Joel
2: 28-29 THE LORD POURED HIS SPIRIT ON GENTILE HAND MAIDS OF RE 11: 2-4, AND
THEY WERE BORN FIRST, Isa 14: 30, ROM 9: 29-32.
WHEN THE LORD POURED HIS SPIRIT, IT IS THE WORDS THAT HE POURS,
JN 6: 63, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY
GOT Revelations FROM THE WORD OF GOD. The word of God was revealed to them, to
prohesy as Acts 2: 17,18, and Joel 2: 28,29 prophecies recorded.
4
To these new men of
JESUS CHRIST, HIS LOVING WAYS WERE REVEALED--
NKJV—ROM 5: 5
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been
poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
That means JESUS CHRIST had
poured His love when giving HIS SPIRIT.
THAT MEANS THE NEW MEN HAVE TO PUT ON THE NEW WAY OF LIVING
HAVING THE LOVE OF GOD IN THEIR HEARTS.
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.
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so
might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
NEW MEN WERE
SAVED FROM DEATH-(from sin which leads to death, Rom Ro 6:16, wages of sin is
death, vs. 23).
NEW MEN IN
JESUS CHRIST ARE SAVED FROM THEIR SINS ON BELIEVEING HIM, having FAITH IN HIM
AS THEIR REDEEMER.
JUST AS
GENTILES WERE SAVED, SPIRITUAL ISRAEL TOO WOULD BE SAVED UPON THEIR BELIEF IN
JESUS CHRIST.
WHEN THEY ARE
THUS SAVED THROUGH GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST, THEY SHOULD NOT CONTINUE IN SIN—
Rom 6: 1 - What shall
we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth
sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the
name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Therefore those baptized into His name SHOULD DEPART FROM
INIQUITY.
FOR MORE UNDERSTANDING
ON BAPTISM INTO JESUS CHRIST ,
Read-“ PART 2 CROSS
OF JESUS and BAPTISM into His death ROM 6:3”
5
CHAPTER 3--NEW MEN BAPTISED INTO JESUS CHRIST
SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE!
Rom 6: 1 - What shall
we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to
sin, live any longer therein?
3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were
baptized into Christ Jesus
were baptized into His death?
4 Therefore we were buried with Him through
baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory
of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
JESUS
CHRIST bore sins of all of us, therefore he died for transgressions of His
people, Isa 53: 8--
Isa
53: 8 He was taken from prison and from
judgment: and who
shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of
the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was He
stricken.
HIS
GENERATION WAS NOT RECORDED AFTER HIM IN MT 1: 17 AS HOLY SEEDS WERE NOT MADE
THEN, HE HAD TO SHED HIS BLOOD TO PRODUCE A HOLY SEED, AND IT IS NOW ONLY THE
LORD IS MAKING A HOLY SEED OUT OF ISRAEL, Isa 53: 10, THAT IS THROUGH HIS
OFFERING OF HIS SOUL. JESUS CHRIST HAD THE POWER TO DIE, AND RESURRECT, JN 10:
18, THEREFORE HE ROSE AS EVER LIVING. Although He died, He LIVES NOW FOR EVER!
HE
IS HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS—similarly those who are baptised into His death, should
arise as new men, in holiness and in Righteousness! THEN THEY BECOME A HOLY
SEED OF JESUS CHRIST, HIS GENERATION WOULD COME AFTER HIM! This is why the LORD
is making a new covenant, making the old obsolete, Heb 8:13.
6
NOTE THE
BAPTISM OF JESUS CHRIST—
Acts 19: 5,6 –when you are baptised into
the name of JESUS CHRIST, you would get Holy spirit and you would prophesy!
THEREFORE
YOU SHOULD SEE THAT SIGN OF PROPHESYING IN THOSE WHO GOT HIS SPIRIT—
Do
you not see that SIGN in witness work of Re 11:2-4 among the gentile maids,
Joel 2: 28-29,
http://www.gentileassembly.org/?
Therefore gentiles as first fruits, Isa
14: 30 are now baptised into JESUS CHRIST –and WE LIVE WITH HIM to walk in
newness of life--
ROM
6: 4 Therefore we were buried with Him
through 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:
THEN, when you are born of SPIRIT, you are
to WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE!
2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a
new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
To these new men, the
LORD teaches to deny ungodliness, THROUGH THE GRACE OF GOD , Tit 2.11-14, they
are purifed for Himself as a peculiar
people ZEALOUES FOR GOOD
WORKS.
7
JOHN
THE BAPTIST said JESUS CHRIST would baptize with fire and Holy Spirit,
Mt
3:11, JESUS CHRIST did not baptize then, John 4: 2,
But
now He had done it as you see the prophesying work of gentile maids, Acts 2:
17, 18, AND THE WORD IS FIRE, Jer 5: 14,--Jer 23:29 "Is
not My word like a fire?" says the LORD, HIS WORDS ARE
SPIRIT, JN 6: 63-----
So words are SPIRIT, as well
as FIRE!
When you are cleansed with
the WORD OF GOD, you are baptised with His spirit and fire!
NKJV—ROM 5: 5 the love of God has been poured out in
our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Through His SPIRIT, JESUS
CHRIST’S WORDS OF LOVE HAD BEEN POURED INTO OUR HEARTS—AND WE PROPHESY OF HIS
LOVE!
HE HAD CALLED OUT SOME PEOPLE
TO MAKE THEM FIRST FRUITS—GENTILES ALREADY FIRST FRUITS, Isa 14: 30,and through
their light, Isa 60: 3, SPIRITUAL ISRAEL TOO WOULD BECOME ISRAEL FIRST FRUITS, they
are captives presently, Jer 33:7,
The LORD expected ISRAEL to
be firstfruits of holiness, Jer 2:3, but they became an abomination, Ho 9:10
THEREFORE, JESUS CHRIST HAD
BAPTIZED gentiles WITH HIS SPIRIT AND CLEANSED US from sin and ---as NEW MEN we
are TO OBEY HIM AND SERVE HIM IN Righteousness , MAL 3: 18, we serve Him in Isa
56: 4-6.
Then
NEW MEN when they are baptised would prophesy, like the gentile witness work.
They are cleansed to SERVE HIM, AND NO SIN SHOULD DWELL IN THEM!
ISRAEL
SHOULD ALSO GET THIS LIGHT of purification FROM JESUS CHRIST’S BLOOD!
THE
HOUSE OF PRAYER OF Isa 56: 4-7 serves the LORD in Righteousness as THEY WERE
FIRST BORN, Isa 14: 30!
8
(IT IS SERIOUS BUSINESS OF JESUS
CHRIST! We ought to tremble and fear to sin! We should understand
these prophecies and be doers of the word to be obedient to the faith!
IF YOY DO NOT HEED TO THESE WORDS, WE CAN FAIL, 1 TIM 4: 1—WELL, IF ANYONE HAD
NOT UNDERSTOOD, WE OUGHT TO REPENT AT ONCE WHEN WE ARE MADE TO UNDERSTAND! )—AND
GENTILES ARE THE LIGHT TO ISRAEL, ---that is,
WHEN ISRAEL COME OUT OF CAPTIVITY AND
BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT, THEY TOO HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SAME WAY TO PUT AWAY SIN TO
SERVE JESUS CHRIST IN HIS Righteousness, MAL 3: 18-
LOOK AT THE VSS. BELOW--
ROM 6: 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin ---12 Therefore do
not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its
lusts.
NEW MEN CANNOT LET SIN REIGN
IN their BODIES!
If we sin IT IS AS WE ARE
OBEYING IT’S LUSTS!
ROM
6: 13 And do not present your members as
instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being
alive from the dead, and your
members as instruments of righteousness to God.
(WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH , GAL 5: 19-21, SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND
THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, GAL 5: 22-23,
ROM 5: 5 "WHEN THE
LORD POURED HIS SPIRIT, LOVE
OF GOD HAD BEEN POURED INTO OUR HEARTS!
(Rom 5: 5 is further
discussed below).
Therefore we ought
to love as He loves-
the fruits of the spirit, IS FRUITS OF LOVE!
GOD’S
LOVE HAS TO BE IN US!
WE
OUGHT TO LOVE AS HE LOVES!
HE HAD
POURED HIS LOVE TO US TO MAKE US PERFECT!
WE
HAVE TO OBEY HIS COMMANDS OF LOVE!
9
Ro 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore
love is the fulfillment of the law.
Ro 13:8
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.
Mt 5:17
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did
not come to destroy but to fulfill.
1Co 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
Ga 5:5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for
the hope of righteousness by faith.
Col 1:23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded
and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you
heard,
1Th 1:3 remembering without ceasing your work of
faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ
IT IS WRONG TO ASSUME THAT
GRACE of JESUS CHRIST WOULD MAKE many OFFERINGS FOR SINS TO KEEP FORGIVING
the new men EACH TIME they SIN—
JESUS CHRIST cannot die again
and again to make offerings for our sins!-- Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Rom
6: 9- knowing that Christ, having
been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has
dominion over Him.
10
UNDERSTAND also FROM THE FOLLOWING VSS.
OF ROM 6-
Ro
6:3 Or do you not know that as many of
us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?-
4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death,
--even
so we also should walk in
newness of life.
5-if
we have been united
together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His
resurrection
Rom
6: 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him,
that the body of sin
might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe
that we shall also live with Him,
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer
has dominion over Him.
10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He
lives, He lives to God.
11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
13--present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead,
and your members as
instruments of righteousness to God.
CHRIST CANNOT DIE ANY MORE—HE IS EVER LIVING—
“DEATH” has NO POWER on Him! Therefore—there no longer remains any sacrifice for SINS ANYONE
COMMITS AFTER BAPTISM WE GET FROM JESUS CHRIST.
WE NEW MEN ALSO ARE DEAD TO SIN, AND ALIVE TO JESUS CHRIST!
11
ROM
6: 14 For sin shall not have
dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not
under law but under grace? Certainly not!
16 Do you not know that to whom you present
yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of
sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
Heb chapter 10 would
clarify-(gentiles are already new men, and these instructions in Heb 10 are for
them, and they will apply for ISRAEL too when they become new men)!
Heb 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected
forever those who are being sanctified.
17 then He adds, "Their sins and their
lawless deeds I will remember no more."
18 Now where there is remission of these, there
is no longer an offering for sin.
AFTER THAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO LIVE A NEW
WAY OF LIFE, NOT SINNING—BUT CONQUERING SIN THROUGH THE CROSS OF JESUS, GAL 5:
24
HEB 10: 26 For if we
sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there
no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a certain
fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the
adversaries.
IT WILL BE WORSE THAN FOR MOSAIC LAW KEEPERS—
Heb 10: 28 -29
NEW MEN IF THEY DO NOT
LIVE IN A NEW AND A LIVING WAY would fall into the HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD—
Heb 10-30 For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is
Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The LORD will judge
His people."
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands
of the living God.
12
They, the new men have
to endure, and not CAST AWAY THE CONFIDENCE IN JESUS CHRIST WHO HAD PROMISED
REWARDS-
Heb 10: 32-36
NEW MEN ARE GIVEN A
LITTLE TIME TO PROVE THEMSELVES—
-37 "For yet a little while, And He who is
coming will come and will not tarry.38
Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has
no pleasure in him."
NEW MEN ARE TO BE
ENCOURAGED BY THE WORD OF GOD—
-39 But we are not of those who draw back to
perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
Heb 11: 1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen.
THEREFORE NEW MEN OUGHT TO HAVE HOPE IN
THEIR FAITH IN THE UNSEEN SPIRITUAL THINGS, BELIEVING TO THE SAVING OF
THE SOUL.
Heb 6: 4 For it is
impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly
gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,-- 6
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing
they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
SO NEW MEN cannot be renewed
to repentance IF THEY FALL AWAY! It is very dangerous knowledge!
13
EXAMINING ROM 5
ROM 5; 1 - Therefore, having been justified by faith,
we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace
in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations,
knowing that
tribulation produces perseverance;
4 and
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in
our hearts by the
Holy Spirit who was given to us.
IF YOU LOOK
CAREFULLY AT THE ABOVE VSS,.
- New men have faith in JESUS CHRIST, they were
justified by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.
- Now when ISRAEL become new men,
They have
PEACE with Him, (Eze 37:26 "Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with
them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, Isa 54:10 For the mountains shall depart And the hills
be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of
peace be removed," Says the LORD, who has mercy on you,
Mal
2:5 "My covenant was with him, one of life and peace,
And I gave them to him that he might fear Me; So he feared Me And was reverent
before My name.
SO THOSE
WHO MAKE THE COVENANT OF PEACE WITH HIM OUGHT TO FEAR HIM AND HONOUR HIM!
As we have
written many times, the gentiles were called first, Isa 14: 30, ISRAEL could
not attain Righteousness of faith, Rom 9: 29-32, (then gentiles attained PEACE with JESUS CHRIST
to serve Him, they had the Righteousness of Him, Isa 54; 17).
To serve JESUS CHRIST, the servants should have
peace with Him,
Gentiles through His grace were forgiven, made
free of sin,
14
ISRAEL were considered
rebellious children of God,
Eze 2:3 And He said to me: "Son of man,
I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has
rebelled against Me;
Eze 12:9 "Son of man, has not the house of
Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
Eze 44:6 "Now say to the rebellious, to the
house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: "O house of Israel, let
us have no more of all your abominations.(Eze. 44 refers
to to those coming into Eze. Temple!)
BECAUSE
ISRAEL of Ro 9: 4,6,
WERE REBELLIOUS, JESUS CHRIST COULD NOT MAKE THE EVERLASTING COVENANT WITH THEM
AS HE HAD NO PEACE WITH THEM, BUT HIS WRATH WAS BURNING BECAUSE OF THEIR
ABOMINATIONS—
“Son of man” in the
above vs. Eze. 2: 3 is addressed to the prophet of vs. 5-
We all should remember that THE PROPHET IN VS. 5 IS MR. FLURRY OF
PCG, as he wrote in his booklets about Ezekiel, “That prophet” etc.
He is the prophet who continued the “70 year” period of
H.W.Armstrong, Isa 23:15.
All things regarding ISRAEL is prophesied and MADE to FULFILL by
their creator, JESUS CHRIST-
Isa
43:15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, The
Creator of Israel, your King."
Eph
3:9-created all things through Jesus Christ;
Col
1:16 For by Him all things were created
that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether
thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created
through Him and for Him.
Heb
2:10 For it was fitting for Him, for
whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory,
WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE GOD WHO WAS MADE
LIKE UNTO “SON OF GOD”,
Heb 7:3-made like the Son of God,
(JESUS CHRIST is the mediator of the covenant and He came as the
High Priest, the word of God testifies to these things of JESUS CHRIST)
AND IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THESE WORDS OF HIM, YOU ARE A LIAR--1Jo
5:10
15
But
the prophet of Ez 2: 5, 33: 33, was not prophesying the words of God, Jer 23:
30-36. (we know that PCG
was prophesying different things!).
Therefore
JESUS CHRIST DID NOT HAVE PEACE WITH THE LEADERS OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, ROM 9:
30-32.
AND
GENTILES WERE MADE TO HAVE PEACE WITH HIM TO SERVE ISRAEL to correct them
DURING THE DAY OF THE LORD, Ez 30: 3, Mal 3;3.
And
the SPIRITUAL MILLENIUM would be like “yesterday” WHEN IT IS PASSED, Ps.
90: 4,
- New men have accesss to HIS GRACE,
(through grace we are
forgiven with HIS ONE SACRIFICE, and ALSO HIS GRACE WOULD HELP US TO WIN
OVER OUR LUSTS, through His cross, Gal 5: 24 when you live in the SPIRIT,
Gal 5: 25),
GRACE TEACHES US WHAT WE SHOULD ATTAIN—
NEW MEN rejoice in the hope of glory of JESUS CHRIST.
- NEW MEN ALSO GLORY IN TRIBULATIONS because tribulations TEACH ONE TO STRIVE for
the faith of the gospel, Php 1:27,
When new
men strive for HOPE in the LORD,—new men learn Godly character, they learn TO PUT ON THE IMAGE OF
CHRIST,
-Ro 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no
provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the man of
dust, we shall also bear
the image of the heavenly Man.
Col 3:10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge
according to the image of
Him who created him,
NEW MEN ARE
RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE OF HIM!
WE ARE TO BE LIKE HIM!
AS PERFECT AS HE IS-Ps 18:30, Mt 5:48, Jas 1:4-that you may be perfect
and complete, lacking nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of
God,
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting,
JESUS CHRIST
WHO POURS HIS SPIRIT IN ABUNDANCE WOULD GIVE WISDOM IF YOU ASK IN FAITH!
HE POURS HIS
SPIRIT THROUGH GRACE, 2Co 13:14
16
AS HOLY AS HE IS--1Pe 1:15-16
because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy.
- New mens’ HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT because,
- LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST HAD BEEN POURED INTO OUR
HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!
ROM 5: 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love
of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
HOW DO WE
KNOW THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST?
Rom 5:
5—LOVE OF
JESUS CHRIST (the love of the one true God, Isa 9: 6) HAD BEEN POURED in
our hearts BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!
EPH
3: 17 that Christ may dwell in your
hearts through faith;
that you, being
rooted and grounded in love,
18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints
what is the width and length and depth and height––
19 to know the love of Christ which passes
knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in
us,
21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
So we could be grounded with love of JESUS CHRIST , it passes all
knowlegde.THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH WAS SHED IN OUR HEARTS SHOULD BE USED AMONG ONE
ANOTHER!
WHEN WE HAVE
THE HOPE OF SALVATION, WE ARE ENCOURAGED, NOT DISAPPOINTED--
1Th 5:8 But let us who are of the day be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God
did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus
Christ,
10--who died for us, that
whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. (whether awake or
Laodicean)
Tit 2. 11 - For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared
to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
world;
13 Looking for that
blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus
Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and
purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
GRACE TEACHES US TO
DENY UNGODLINESS, WORDLY LUSTS AND LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY –
Then GRACE TEACHES US TO BECOME FREE FROM SIN AND
BE PURE.
17
The sinners could argue that they
will be redeemed from every lawless deed COMMITTED AFTER THEY ARE
ENLIGHTENED, NOT RECOGNISING, THAT GRACE HAD PURIFIED THEM
WITH THE ONE OFFERING OF JESUS CHRIST and THERE REMAINS NO MORE SACRFICE FOR
SINS, Heb 10: 14, 18, 26.
the word is
clear –
Heb 6: 4
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened,
and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have
tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If
they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put
him to an open shame.
SO ONCE WE BECOME NEW MEN, WE SHOULD DEPART FROM SIN, 2Ti 2:19- Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Grace teaches us to
deny ungodliness worldly lusts and live righteously, 1 Jn 3.4.
Grace teaches us to
become free from sin. Grace is no license to immorality and to continue in sin
as shown in the scriptures in these writings. We should not think that repentance is not required for
lawlessness after grace is given for remission of sins, Jude 1.4
When grace is poured to forgive us, through His love, we
should become new men, obedient to JESUS
CHRIST. If anyone has selfish
ambitions, do not obey His commands, BUT OBEY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, THEY RECEIVE
PUNISHMENT, Rom 2.8-9, Tit. 1.16.
The word establishes
law of JESUS CHRIST, Rom 3.31. If the LORD’S SPIRIT LEADS US IN OUR THOUGHTS,
WORDS AND DEEDS, then we are not under law, Gal 5.18,22-25, (then we have
liberty from law). God does not want His new men to be full of lust, greed
anger, lies, jealosy, envy, etc, Gal 5.19-21. Such will not inherit Kingdom of
God.
Hypocrites could talk
about grace while walking in sin. The LORD addressed hypocrites, Mt 23.28. The
LORD wanted us to be better than pharisees. So as Gal 5.18, 22,23 says --- WHEN A CHRISTIAN HAS COMPLETE
CONTROL OF HIMSELF TO PRODUCE FRUITS OF
THE SPIRIT WHEN HE IS LED BY THE SPIRIT, --THEN HE IS NOT UNDER LAW. (being
led by the spirit means WALKING ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD, spirit is words,
Jn 6: 63).
18
We need the help of JESUS CHRIST to become
obedient to Him. The word
guides us to understand spiritual problems---examples-- anger 1 Jn 3.15, --the
love of the world is enmity with God, greed can be idolatory always wanting
more—the love of money –inability to control our emotions—other weaknesses or
sins are to be repented before JESUS CHRIST and He would help us to be free
from those sins—in our daily prayer as the LORD taught us we ask
forgiveness-saying “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
against us”. The LORD gave seven days to unleaven after passover. We are to
examine our selves!
WE CANNOT BE FREE FROM SIN UNLESS WE BECOME OBEDIENT TO
HIS WORDS.
HE FORGAVE THROUGH HIS
SACRIFICE ONCE FOR ALL, Heb 10.14,18, 26, pouring His grace, therfore we should
examine to get rid of all our unrighteousness.
Before the little
leaven leavens the whole lump, we should
identify THE LITTLE LEAVEN TO REMOVE IT. JESUS CHRIST WOULD HELP US TO DO SO, when you follow
His commandments and ask for His help.
For example -- we are
asked to give food to our enemies if they are hungry---WHEN YOU FOLLOW THAT
COMMAND, WE LEARN TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES. Even if it is difficult, when we do so
we crucify the sinful natures of us, thus overcoming through the word, Gal
5.24, 1 jn 1.7, Col 3.5.
True Christians CHANGE
THEIR HEARTS-MK 7.5.7, Ps. 34.18, Ps. 51.17, Is 57.15, Ezk 18.31-32, Ezk 36.26.
Until we change our hearts to produce
fruits of the spirit and WORSHIP THE LORD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, THE LAW IS A
SCHOOL MASTER to bring us to Christ, Ga 3:24.
WHEN WE PUT ON THE NEW
HEART, WE BECOME LAWFUL, THE
LOVE OF CHRIST FULFILL IN US AS HE POURED HIS LOVE WHEN HE GAVE HIS SPIRIT TO THE NEW MEN, Rom 5.5.
We should be obedient to the LAWS OF LOVE OF JESUS
CHRIST!
2Ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished
my course, I have kept the faith-those words show that PAUL CHANGED COMPLETELY –GAL 2.20—He said it is no longer he who
lives, BUT JESUS CHRIST LIVES IN HIM—
If JESUS CHRIST lived in Paul, PAUL WOULD DO AS CHRIST
DOES!
HE HAD FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.
Paul would have LEARNT
TO LOVE AS JESUS CHRIST --
PAUL WOULD HAVE LEARNT
TO BE HOLY AND PERFECT AS CHRIST IS. PAUL HAD PUT ON JESUS CHRIST—PAUL HAD THE
IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST.
PAUL CRUCIFIED ALL
LUSTS, GAL 2.20 AND THUS HE OVERCAME—
PAUL ENCOURAGED US TOO-1Ti
6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay
hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called,
19
JESUS CHRIST IS NOT
PARTIAL--
Re. 3.20- If any man
hears My voice---I WILL COME TO HIM.
When the LORD comes to
Him He would show our ugly and unclean things in us—the hidden lusts, pride etc.
Forgiveness through
grace and His love in us, Rom 5.5 does not permit us to be sinful—but we should change our hearts
as new men. IT IS TO OUR OWN GOOD. JESUS CHRIST WILL REWARD US
ACCORDINGLY.
We are standing before
Him—we are not running away from Him, Heb 10.39, --BUT HEED TO HIM—LISTEN TO
HIM-OBEDIENT TO HIM, AND HE WILL CORRECT US—THAT IS CHRIST IN US THE HOPE OF
GLORY-COL 1.27, LK 6.47-48.
The spoken word of JESUS CHRIST says “IF A MAN LOVES ME, HE
WILL KEEP MY WORDS”-Jn 14.22-23, Jer 7.23, Jn 8.31-32, Jn 8.36.
WHEN WE ARE HELPED TO
LISTEN TO HIM THROUGH OUR OBEDIENCE TO HIS COMMANDS, WE DO NOT HEED TO SATANIC
WAYS—THUS THE LORD DESTROYS THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL IN US, 1 JN 3.8, Ro. 6.16—
WE CANNOT SERVE TWO
MASTERS, MT.6.24, Lk 6.13, Ro 8.13-14, Ro 6.6
Gal 5. 24- And they that are Christ’s have crucified the
flesh with the affections and lusts.(we are to use the cross to win over
flesh!)
Ro 6.19 - 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.
Vs. 22 But now being made free from
sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness,
and the end everlasting life.
WHEN SIN IS REMOVED
FROM US, WE ARE HOLY—WE HAVE TO REMAIN IN THAT HOLINESS TO SERVE JESUS CHRIST!
Then we are to guard
against lusts of the flesh, gal 5: 19-21.
When we become new men
in JESUS CHRIST, we are restored to the image of JESUS CHRIST, AND WE CEASE
MAKING OUR OWN DECISIONS—We
allow the word of God (His commands) TO GUIDE US TO TAKE DECISIONS.
JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF GUIDES US IN PROMPTING US TO ACT ACCORDING TO HIS WORDS,
HIS TRUTHS, HIS WAY OF LOVE-------WE THUS BECOME OBEDIENT TO HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
THEN WE BRING INTO
CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE
TO CHRIST, 2 Cor 10.5, THUS
WE GAIN THE MIND OF JESUS CHRIST, 1 Cor 2.16, and HIS IMAGE OF TRUE
RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, EPH 4.22-24, THEN WE PRODUCE FRUIT UNTO HOLINESS, Ro
6.22, Gal 5.22-23.
20
Mt 7. 21 Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father
which is in heaven
WHEN WE OBEY JESUS CHRIST HE IS OUR MASTER AND LORD
It is through desobedience that we can fall in the very
last days
1 Tim 4.1, ,
Re 22.14—you would be blessed if you keep His commandements and enter New
Jerusalem.
Col 3. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear,
then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.
1 Jn 3.2-3—
2 Beloved, now are
we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know
that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He
is.
3 And every man that
hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
Rom 13.8-10---COMMANDMENTS
ARE SUMMED UP---8
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.
ROM 13: 9
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and
if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying,
namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love
worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
THE LORD REQUIRES US TO
TOTALLY WALK BY HIS LOVING COMMANDMENTS. THIS IS WHY HE POURED HIS LOVE WHEN HE
GAVE HIS SPIRIT, Ro 5.5, to make NEW MEN IN CHRIST,-- 2Co 5:17
21
Rom 8: 2-- For the law
of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (loving laws of JESUS CHRIST makes us free from
laws of sin and death, these are the laws which were changed after High Priest
of Melchisedec order, Heb 7:12)
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was
weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful
flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be
fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
A new man is under the LAW OF SPIRIT OF LIFE in JESUS CHRIST –
He is FREE from the MOSAIC LAW which brings death.
Vs. 3, law could not perfect people to serve JESUS CHRIST in New
Jerusalem –the people have to be without sin to serve Him in Righteousness, Mal
3: 18, therefore JESUS CHRIST Himself MADE THE SACRIFICE, THE ONE OFFERING, Heb
10: 14,18, 26, the one and only true God, Isa 9: 6, MADE LIKE
A SON OF GOD, Heb 7; 3,
took all sins of
people, and CONDEMNED SIN in the FLESH, THEREFORE, ABOVE VS. 4
–Righteousness OF LAW SHOULD BE FULFILLED IN THE NEW MEN who walk AFTER THE
SPIRIT!
Isa 53:
10 when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He
shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
WHEN THE LORD MADE THE
OFFERING FOR OUR SINS—JESUS CHRIST is able to see His HOLY SEED, His name which
was cut off in Mt 1: 17, would BE ACTIVATED, His name would be carried by A
SEED, AND HE WOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP PROMISES OF COVENANTS WITH THE ANCESTORS.
(these were explained in other articles—read “True Passover”).
We are then to walk
after the spirit, (words are spirit, Jn 6. 63).
That is, we are to be
led by words (spirit), Gal 5: 18- if
ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
THAT MEANS IF WE ARE
DOERS OF THE WORD, WE WOULD NOT BE UNDER LAW! (that is we cannot be judged as
wrong doers if we walk according to THE WORD OF GOD!){read the aritcle “how to
walk in the spirit, Gal 5: 25”}.
A NEW MAN HAS SPIRIT OF
LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST —
THE NEW MEN ARE TO WALK IN SPIRIT!
Spirit is the words, Jn 6: 63.
THEY ARE TO PRODUCE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT,Gal 5;22-23
22
Mt 7: 15 - Beware of false prophets, 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits.-
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
FRUITS
HAVE TO BE BORNE BY THE SPIRITUAL TREES,(THE PROPHETS OR TEACHERS OF SPIRITUAL
THINGS)-
(now
we gentiles teach, afterwards
ISRAEL has to TEACH when their captivity is over!)
SO FALSE TEACHERS ARE COMPARED TO CORRUPT TREES!
PROPHETS OUGHT TO BEAR GOOD FRUIT, SO THAT PEOPLE TOO BEAR
GOOD FRUITS.
If the teachings are from the word of God, the trees would
bear good fruit—IF THE
PEOPLE LEARN SPIRITUAL THINGS TO WALK IN SPIRIT (biblical way of life), they
will bear GOOD FRUITS, they are Gal 5: 22-23, and similar fruits mentioned in
the word.
LORD’s servants cannot be false!
They should teach the EXACT SPIRITUAL THINGS OF THE LORD, AND BE
DOERS OF THE WORD!
Mt 7: 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit
is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have
we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto
a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
IF THE PROPHETS WHO PROPHESY MAKE A MISTAKE, ALL PEOPLE
SUFFER, BUT THE PROPHETS ARE ACCOUNTABLE!
THE HOUSE HAS TO BE
BUILT ON THE ROCK, JESUS CHRIST!
23
WHEN THE LORD IS SPIRIT,
Joh 4:24 God is
a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth,
ALL HIS SERVANTS SHOULD
WORSHIP IN SPIRIT.
We are to worship Him biblically, according to present
truth!
For example, now when the LORD is showing the cup of blessing,
and not the cup of fury, Isa 51:17,
22, 1 Cor 10:16 , and because the blood of the
covenant releases captives, Zec 9:11 we are to pray for Eze. Temple matters, for
the ISRAEL to return to Him through a TRUE PASSOVER, as they are in captivity,
Ez 39; 21-23.
AS JESUS
CHRIST IS PURIFYING THE MINISTRY, MAL 3: 3, THEY ARE TO KNOW OF THE SPIRITUAL
THINGS OF JESUS CHRIST SO THAT ALL WILL LEARN HOW TO WORSHIP HIM.
Present truth keep
changing—Jerusalem the church became desolate, Da 9:2, 18, it will be corrected
by the LORD with a short work, Rom 9: 28—Jerusalem was barren, but it would
produce holy children, Isa 54: 1, 62: 4,5, a new Jerusalem would be made, Re
21: 2, that is the bride of JESUS CHRIST, Re 19: 7, with whom He will make to
covenant of youth, Ez 16: 60-63 (IT IS PCG!), PCG would mother other groups of
spiritual ISRAEL who serve JESUS CHRIST, Rom 9: 4. SO
WE ARE TO PRAY FOR SUCH CHANGING TRUTHS IN GOD’S CHURCH!
THEN WE ARE WORSHIPPING
HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
(the spirit, or the
words, Jn 6: 63, RECORDS the TRUTH, and as the prophecies are taking place, we
thank Him and praise Him, along with our supplications!)
Rom 8: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the
things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the
Spirit.
6--For to be carnally
minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can
be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please
God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the
Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he
is none of His.
SO NEW MEN ARE NOT IN
FLESH, BUT IN SPIRIT, AND THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST’S!
NEW MEN who walk in spirit ARE HIS!
IF YOU PRAY FOR WORLDLY MATTERS, YOU ARE NOT PRAYING FOR
SPIRITUAL THINGS OF THE LORD!
For example if you pray
for the performing arts programmes in PCG, or physical buildings, you are
PRAYING FOR LUSTS!
1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a
spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
24
CHAPTER 4—
THE LORD GAVE ISRAEL STATUTES
NOT GOOD, TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND THAT SUCH WOULD NOT PROFIT THEM
Spiritual
ISRAEL HAD TO BE CORRECTED BY THE LORD BECAUSE THEY REBELLED AGAINST HIM--
Eze. 20: 21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against Me: they
walked not in My statutes,
neither kept My judgments
to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted My sabbaths: then I said, I
would pour out My fury upon them, to accomplish My anger against them
in the wilderness.
The
LORD gave them the CUP OF FURY, Jer 25:15 (when He is merciful He took off that
cup, Isa 51:22, BUT THEY DRANK THAT CUP OF FURY, Isa 51:17 and allowed them to
do rebellious ways in the house of God, Ez 20: 25 written below!),
Therefore,
that was the WOE pronounced against PCG, Ez 16: 23, LORD was wrath, hiding from
them, Ez 39: 21-23 (while they were in captivity), AND THEREFORE, THE LORD EVEN
GAVE foolish instruments to the shepherd, Zec 11:15, THE LORD MADE THEM KNOW THAT THEY WOULD MAKE BLUNDERS
WITHOUT GOD WITH THEM!
LORD
allowed the prophet and ministry to do according to their own will, to show
that their counsel would not stand,
Ps
5:10 Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own
counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their
transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.
-Eze. 20: 24 Because they had
not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, and had polluted My
sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were
not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
26 And I polluted them in
their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth
the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that
I am the LORD.
BECAUSE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL REBELLED
AGAINST HIM, HE GAVE THEM STATUTES THAT WERE NOT GOOD—
THEY WOULD FALL BY
THEIR OWN COUNSELS!
But in the end---they will know THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE
LORD!
25
One
might argue that the LORD gave the statutes that were not good!
- FIRST OF ALL WE SHOULD KNOW
THAT THERE IS NO COUNSEL AGAINST THE LORD, Pr 21:30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor
counsel against the LORD-LORD knows what to do and how to do things!
·
TO CORRECT THE REBELLIOUS SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, Isa 1:12-15, Am 5:21,22, JESUS CHRIST allowed them to be
removed from being true servants of God, allowed a spiritual captivity, Eze. 39: 23, and got gentiles to serve Him, Isa 56: 4-7, Rom 9: 29-32, to provoke ISRAEL to jealousy, Ro 10:19, Ro 11:11, and through gentiles the LORD
made His Judgments, POURED HIS WRATH by allowing gentiles to tread them, Re 11: 2,- Isa 65:12, Jer 19:15, Jer
22:5 , HE ALLOWED THEM TO DO THEIR OWN THINGS, - Eze 11:21, Isa 59:2
·
THEN THE LORD through the work among the gentiles, Rom 9: 28, shows ISRAEL THAT THEIR WAY IS
NOT ACCEPTABLE, THE STATUTES ALLOWED BY GOD IN Ez 20: 25 WOULD NOT PROFIT ISRAEL , BUT THE
WAYS JESUS CHRIST IS TEACHING through the gentiles HAVE TO BE LEARNT BY ISRAEL,
Isa
60: 3.
·
THIS HE DID AS ISRAEL WOULD NOT HEAR HIM-- Isa 66:4, Isa 30:9, Isa
28:12, Jer 11:14, Jer 13:11, Jer 13:17, Jer 17:23,
- Jer 22:21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not
hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that
thou obeyedst not My voice.
Jer
29:19 Because they have not hearkened to
My words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by My servants the prophets,
rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
JESUS CHRIST,
THE HUSBAND AND LEADER OF THE CHURCH, Jer 3:14, Eze. 16: 8, Eph 5:23, Col 1:18,
SPOKE PROSPERITY TO THE PROPHET OF HIS CHURCH, Ez 2: 5, Ez 33; 33, --WE KNOW THAT
THE PROPHET WROTE ALL BOOKLETS recording the Revelations He gave concerning the
mystery of the church, THAT THE LORD IS MARRIED TO CHURCH, Ez 16: 8-14, in his
booklet on Ezekiel.
(Paul wrote about it, 2Co 11:2, the church has
to be presented as a chaste virgin).
WITH ALL THE
PROPHECIES, THE PROPHET BECAME VAIN, AND THOUGHT HE IS GOD, AND MADE BLUNDERS,
therefore THE LORD CALLED THE GENTILES WHO WERE IN THE SAME CHURCH, PCG, WHO
DID NOT BOW THEIR KNEEES TO BAAL, ROM 11: 4, WHEN PCG WENT TO Bamah, Ez 20: 29.
all details of PCG abomination at Bamah is recorded in --http://www.gentileassembly.org/
26
When the people do not like good statutes, the LORD gives
them up to chasten them, because He loves them and COUNSELS THEM through other
servants TO CORRECT THEIR wrong WAYS, another example, Rom 1: 18-32
And vss. to note—Rom 1:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness;
21 Because that, when they knew God, they
glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became
fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image
made like to corruptible man
ROM 1: 24
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of
their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25--Who changed the
truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.--26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:
WHEN ISRAEL
MINISTRY TRIED TO EQUAL THEMSELVES WITH UNCORRUPTIBLE GOD (saying they are
Gods), and became vain, the LORD gave them up to do what they want, AND FINALLY
THEY WILL SEE THEIR MISTAKES, WHEN THE LORD JUDGED THEM!
SO WE SEE THAT THE LORD
ALLOWS HIS SERVANTS TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WHEN LORD’S SERVANTS ARE AGAINST HIS WAYS!
THIS HE ALLOWED PRIOR
TO MAKING THE ETERNAL THINGS!
When the LORD shows
His Judgments, all will know the true things of the LORD to abide by them, and
then the eternal things could be created!
THE PROPHET AND
MINISTRY HAD RUINED THE TRUTH OF GOD!
THEY HAVE TURNED THE
TRUTH INTO A LIE!
THEY SERVE MAN—THE CREATURE--H.W.Armstrong!
THEY
FORGET TO HONOUR THE CREATER MORE THAN CREATURES!
EVEN
H.W.Armstrong’s name IS IN BIGGER LETTERS IN THE INSCRIPTIONS OF THE NEW
BUILDING!
THE
HEAD OF THE CHURCH IS FORGOTTEN!
AND
THE CHURCH IS DOING WHAT THEY WANT, BECAUSE THE LORD ALLOWED IT!
BUT SPIRITUAL ISRAEL SHOULD LEARN TO BECOME
NEW MEN IN JESUS CHRIST!
27
HERE IS A CHECKLIST from Ephesians TO SEE
WHETHER WE ARE NEW CREATIONS--
EPH 5;
1 - Be ye therefore followers
of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved
us,
3 - But fornication, and all uncleanness, or
covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor
jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor
unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance
in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with
vain words: for
because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.
1
CO 9: 21—WE ARE UNDER LAW TO CHRIST, AND THESE ARE CHRIST’S LAWS—IF WE DO
against those commands, WE ARE DISOBEDIENT CHILDREN—AND WRATH OF JESUS CHRIST
WOULD COME UPON US—1 CO 10: 5-9--YOU WOULD TEMPT CHRIST IF WE WALK AGAINST
HIS LAW, COMMITING FORNICATION, EATING AND DRINKING just as the Israel of
history who were baptised in sea.
Vs. 5-6, the Israel who were saved from Pharaoh STARTED TO EAT,
DRINK, COMMITTING SINS SUCH AS FORNICATION, AND THEY WERE DESTROYED! AND THAT
IS EXAMPLE TO US-- 6 - Now these
things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things,
as they also lusted.
WE OUGHT NOT TO CRAVE, lust FOR THINGS, LIKE THE WORLDLY PEOPLE! we
should be satisfied with what we get!
1Ti
6:6 Now godliness with contentment is
great gain.
28
EPH
5 CONTD;
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk
as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the
Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
THE
FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS TO BE PRODUCED BY US WHO WERE SAVED FIRST, ---who were
enlightened with the LIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST!
Similarly
ISRAEL should do when they come to the light of JESUS CHRIST!
We are to be doers of the work
Jas 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law
of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer
of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
The law of liberty is for those who are led
by the spirit, who walks in spirit, producing fruit of the spirit—Gal 5: 25,
18, 22-23.
Not for those producing Gal 5: 19-21, they
do not inherit Kingdom of God!
Jas 1: 25 SHOWS HOW WE SHOULD LEARN THE WORD OF GOD TO
DO THOSE COMMANDMENTS RECORDED IN THE WORD OF GOD JUST AS PAUL WAS
LAWFUL, 1Co 6:12 All things are lawful
for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I
will not be brought under the power of any. (PAUL WAS LAWFUL ALTHOUGH THE LAW DID NOT
SAVE HIM, HE WAS LAWFUL according to laws of JESUS CHRIST, and therefore HE WAS
IN LIBERTY).
29
Jude 1:16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking
according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering
people to gain advantage.
ARE WE GRUMBLING?
COMPLAINING?
WALKING IN LUSTS?
FLATTERING PEOPLE TO GET THINGS OR MONEY?
These should not happen.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;
DO YOU LIKE TEACHERS WHO TELL YOU SMOOTH THINGS?
It will not lead you to LORD!
Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn
away of his own lust, and enticed.
DO YOU RESENT TO BE OBEDIENT TO THE WORD and do you
follow your own ways ?
1Pe 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning
yourselves according
to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1Pe 4:2 That he no longer should live the rest of his
time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
New men ARE TO GIVE UP FORMER LUSTS!
THE LORD WATCHES OUR
HEARTS-
Ps 73:11 And they say, How doth God know?
DO WE THINK WE CAN HIDE
FROM GOD?
Jas 2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the
gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the
poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
Jas 2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and
are become judges of evil thoughts?
DO YOU DISCRIMINATE AMONG BRETHREN?
Jas 2:6 But ye have despised the poor.
Jas 2:8 -If ye fulfil
the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself, ye do well:
ARE YOU TRYING YOUR
BEST TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF, NOT BEING PARTIAL—SONS OF GOD ARE ALL BRETHREN OF
ONE FAMILY?

CHAPTER 5
ABIDE IN ME AND MY WORDS
Ps. 138: 2—word is
enlarged
The called out should
walk according to the word of God, which is
Holy Spirit, Jn 6: 63. This in
other words is WALKING, LED BY THE SPIRIT-- Ga 5: 16,25 , Ro 8:1, 4.
WE SHOULD
NOTE THAT ALL THINGS WERE DONE THROUGH HIS SPOKEN WORDS.
Even if you
think of the creation, HE SPOKE AND THEY WERE DONE! EXAMPLE--Ge 1:3, let there be light.
Ps 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens
made; Ps 33:9 For he spake, and it was done; He commanded,
and it stood fast.
Ps 148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for He
commanded, and they were created.
Mt 8:3 And Jesus put forth His hand, and touched
him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Joh 11:43 And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a
loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
THE LORD
SPEAKS AND IT IS DONE!
JESUS CHRIST
who bears the name WORD OF GOD, Re 19: 13, speaks the word and it takes place!
THUS HE HAD SPOKEN HIS WORDS, AND THEY ARE RECORDED FOR OUR KNOWLEDGE—this is
the written word contained in the bible.
IF YOU FOLLOW
THE COMMANDS OF HIS THROUGH HIS SPOKEN WORDS-the riches of His goodness is
contained in the WORD!- CONTINUING IN DOING THE NECESSARY THINGS IN THE WORD IS
FOLLOWING HIS INSTRUCTIONS---IT IS -- LED BY THE SPIRIT, that is words, AS HIS
WORDS ARE SPIRIT, JN 6: 63.
THEN WALKING
LED BY SPIRIT, IS FOLLOWING THE WRITTEN COMMANDS OF JESUS CHRIST! It may be
directly His words, or the writings of the prophets—
Lu
24:44 Then He said to them, "These
are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things
must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and
the Psalms concerning Me."
31
THE CALLED OUT SHOULD
WALK WORTHY OF GOD-
Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for
good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his
purpose.
Ro 8:30 Moreover
whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
1Th 2:12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath
called you unto his kingdom and glory.
THEN WE SHOULD ABIDE IN
HIS WORDS.
That means we should be doers
of the word of God.
One could depart from faith
BEING UNFAITHFUL,
1 Tim 4: 1, ---BUT HE WOULD
BE FAITHFUL TO WHOEVER FIGHTS UNTO THE END TO REMAIN IN FAITH -
Tit 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I
will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be
careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable
unto men.
Tit 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for
necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
ONE SHOULD
FIND THE NECESSARY USES—Ga 6:10-
let us do good unto all men, especially
unto them who are of the household of faith.
If you do good
to brethren IT WILL BE FRUITFUL!
2 Ti 2: 19 -
Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The
Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from
iniquity."
32
1
Co 12: 4-10—THE LORD GIVES DIFFERENT GIFTS—
wisdom; knowledge;faith; healing;working of miracles; prophecy;
discerning of spirits; tongues;
interpretation of tongues:
1Co
12:4 THEY ARE-- diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.---
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given
to each one for the profit of all:
1Co 12:11 But one and the same Spirit works all these
things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
When
we get the gifts of Spirit—WE
ARE TO BE LED BY
SPIRIT-GAL 5:25 If we live
in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Ro
8:14 For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God.--Ga 5:18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
When
we walk in SPIRIT—we are TO PRODUCE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT--22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23-gentleness,
self–control. Against such there is no law.
SO
WHEN WE WORK WITH THE SPIRIT (the words, Jn
6: 63), IT SHOULD PROFIT ALL, WE ALL HAVE TO WORK WITH THE
SPIRIT, AND PRODUCE GOOD FRUITS, they are fruit to holiness--Ro 6:22 But now having been set free from sin, and
having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end,
everlasting life.
THEN WE OUGHT TO WORK WITH THE GIFTS WE
GOT, VERY HUMBLY SERVING ONE ANOTHER –we should not be proud when we serve. It is the LORD’s
will that we receive differently!
BUT THE MAIN THING IS FOR US TO PRODUCE
FRUITS WITH THE GIFTS WE RECEIVED!
Mr 9:23
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to
him that believeth.
THEN THE POWER BEHIND OUR WORK
IS JESUS CHRIST!
IT IS HE WHO GIVES GIFTS AND HELPS US
TO PRODUCE FRUITS IF WE BELIEVE IN HIM!
33
1Co
12:12 For as the body is one, and hath
many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body:
so also is Christ.
1Co 12:14
For the body is not one member, but many.
1Co 12:20
But now are they many members, yet but one body.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THIS BODY-
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even
as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the saviour
of the body.
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under His feet,
and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church,
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He
might have the preeminence.
WITH THE LORD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE-
-Mt
19:26-with God all
things are possible.
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under His feet-
WITH
JESUS CHRIST ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Ro
12; 3 For I say, through the grace given
unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly
than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to
every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and
all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the
grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the
proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering:
or he that teacheth, on teaching;
IF YOU ARE AN APOSTLE, PROPHET,
TEACHER, MINISTER, BE NOT HIGH MINDED—BUT SERVE ONE ANOTHER, THEREBY YOU SERVE THE LORD!
He is the head of the church,
Jas
3:2 For in many things we offend all. If
any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle
the whole body.
THEN
IF WE ABIDE IN HIS WORDS, WE COULD BRIDLE THE WHOLE BODY.
34
Rom
12: 8 Or he that exhorteth, on
exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth,
with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that
which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with
brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit;
serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation;
continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints;
given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and
curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep
with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind
not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own
conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide
things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you,
live peaceably with all men.
So we see that abiding
in word means to become a doer of the word being obedient to the WORDS OF JESUS
CHRIST!
Words may be for
instruction, for reproof, for chastening, correcting, or to rejoice in the
LORD, whatever the words are,--you are to be obedient to His words!
35
CHAPTER 6—
THOUGHTS FOR NEW MEN TO KEEP CHRIST’S COMMANDS
According to Re
22.14,15,-- bibilical vss shown in these writings give an introduction to WHAT WE
ARE TO BE DOING AS COMMANDS OF JESUS CHRIST.
We are to study the
word to be doers of the words—examples--
No favouritism to any man –Gal 2.6
It is fearful to fall into the hands of living God—heb
10: 31
Submit to one another in the fear of God. Eph 5.21
Lord does not delight in souls who draw back-Heb 10.38
Your personal studies
would reveal much more!
THEREFORE WE ARE TO
CULTIVATE THE NEW AND
LIVING WAY IN OUR DAILY LIVES, PRACTICING COMMANDS OF JESUS CHRIST.
We should be holy and
without blame in love-Eph 1.4-6, 12-14,18
If we live in
sin,---- is JESUS CHRIST a minister of sin after He justified us through
grace?—therefore we should not set aside GRACE BY SINNING AGAIN.—Gal 2.17-21
36
Charity which is bond
of perfectness, Col.3.14, has to be honoured even though prophesy or knowledge
fail, 1 Cor 13
1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision
is nothing, but the
keeping of the commandments of God.
We are to change from
former ways to acceptable ways of the LORD –Eph 2.1-10
Gentile Assembly as New
MEN- Eph 2.11-15.
A new Law of Christ
introduced to them- vs. 15
Gentile men seperated
to be edified in Christ love-Eph 4.15-17
They are lessons to
ISRAEL!
Inner Man to be
strengthened through Christ- Eph 3.16-19
(to be rooted and
grounded in love)
We should have one mind
Eph 4.2-6, as there is one body.
LORD had given each one
a measure according to gift of JESUS CHRIST, to make a new man perfect-Eph 4.7,11-13
PUT OFF FORMER
CONDUCT, THE OLD MAN, AND PUT ON NEW
MAN. Eph 4.22-29- thru acts of vs. 22-29—speaking lies, anger,stealing, using
corrupt words GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, VS. 30-------AND THEREFORE VS. 31-32—BITERNESS,
WRATH, ANGER, CLAMOR, EVIL SPEAKING SHOULD BE PUT AWAY-----AND BE ----KIND,
TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING
ONE ANOTHER AS JESUS CHRIST FORGAVE
EVERYONE, EPH 5.2-8 says SUCH OLD MEN DO NOT ENTER THE
Kingdom of God.
THAT MEANS WITHOUT THE NEW WAY OF LIVING WHICH WAS
COMMANDED BY JESUS CHRIST YOU CANNOT ENTER NEW JERUSALEM (Re 22.14-15)
THEREFORE FIND OUT WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE LORD – EPH
5.9,10
37
GIVE THANKS EPH 5.18-21, Phi 2.12-16
JESUS CHRIST MAGNIFIED HIS LAWS MT 5.27 TO MT 7.29
Ro 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet; and
if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying,
namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Ga 5:14 For all
the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.
Joh 15:12 This is
My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Ro 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is
evil. Cling to what is good.
Eph 1:4
According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:
ADMONISHINGS TO
Husbands, wives, parents, servants, ,masters—Eph 5.22 to 6.13
Seek things of JESUS
CHRIST –phi 2.21
SAME MIND IN THE LORD
PHI 4.2
NEW MEN TO HAVE TRUTHS,
PREPARATION OF GOSPEL of PEACE- EPH 6.13-18—new men are to declare to next
generation, Isa 59: 21
DWELL IN THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS THRU FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST –PHI 3.9, 13,14
MEDITATE ON WHATSOEVER
IS TRUE, NOBLE, JUST, PURE, OF GOOD REPORT, PRAISWORTHY—PHI 4.8
EPH 6.23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with
faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(Isa 9: 6).
24-Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
Amen.
