MYSTERY OF GODLINESS- WHOEVER SINS HAS NOT SEEN HIM NOR KNOWN HIM-1 Jn 3.6

INTRODUCTION

We understand from the scriptures that SIN HAS NO PLACE for BELIEVERS OF JESUS CHRIST, after Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His rigteousness, vs 19, 22, 2 Tim 2: 19, Ro 6: 6 . They should PUT AWAY SIN, hating sin, TO DWELL WITH JESUS CHRIST , Who hates sin. THE LORD IS HOLY AND WE SHOULD BE HOLY, 1Pe 1:16, without holiness we cannot see Him, Heb 12: 14.  

The LORD made a way to take sins out of His people through His sacrifice, Ro 6: 3-7, as the animals could not take away sins of people, Heb 10:4, 12, 14. the LORD purifies a ministry, Mal 3: 3,18, so that they WOULD SERVE HIM IN HIS Righteousness unto Holiness, Ro 6: 19,22. AND THEN THE LORD WILL MAKE THE NEW COVENANT WITH HIS PEOPLE, spiritual Israel, Ez 16: 60-63. THIS NEW COVENANT WOULD BE FOREVER, Isa 59: 21, which is made after GIVING KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST, Hab 2:14, so that people of God would PUT SINS AWAY after HE PURIFIES. They should have faith in Him, and HE WOULD HELP THEM THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, Jn 6: 63, (the life giving words), which was poured to give HIS DIVINE KNOWLEDGE. HIS BELIEVERS ARE TO BECOME GODLY BY PUTTING SIN OUT OF THEIR LIVES.

THEN WE SHOULD LEARN THE WORD OF GOD THOROUGHLY TO BECOME GODLY.

1Ti 3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

TO BECOME GODLY, ONE HAS TO PUT AWAY SINS AS--

1 Jn 3: 6  Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him . vs. 5- He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.

THE LORD CAME AS A MAN, BUT SON OF GOD, Heb 7: 3, TO MAKE HIMSELF THE PERFECT SACRIFICE TO TAKE AWAY SINS,

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

HE WOULD TAKE AWAY OUR SINS,  AFTER HE TAKES AWAY OUR SINS, WE SHOULD NOT SIN ANYMORE, Ro 6: 6,--OTHERWISE WE DO NOT KNOW HIM!---NOR ABIDE IN HIM!

BECAUSE THERE IS NO SIN IN JESUS CHRIST, WE WHO SERVE HIM SHOULD NOT HAVE SIN IN US!

WE SHOULD HATE SINS JUST AS OUR LORD DOES!

First fruits of JESUS CHRIST whether gentile fruits, Isa 14: 30 or Israel fruits, Isa 53: 10, SHOULD NOT HAVE SIN IN THEM AFTER HE CLEANSES THEM—

then, after they are born of God, Ro 6: 3-7, Lu 20:36, they should not sin!

The LORD made known the “mystery of God” through the witness work, which is His short work, Rom 9: 28. then we ought to know the “MYSTERY OF GODLINESS” too---1Ti 3:16--

1Ti 3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

WITHOUT ANY ARGUMENT --GREAT IS THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS!

THE FOLLOWING VSS. SAY THAT WE LABOUR TO ATTAIN GODLINESS—

1 Tim 4; 8  For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

9  This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.

10  For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

So we suffer in many ways to become godly, to be as our LORD. 2 Tim 3: 12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

 1

2 Tim 3: 16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:--17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

SO THE LORD HAD GIVEN HIS WORDS TO MAKE HIS PEOPLE PERFECT—

Mt 5:48  Be ye therefore perfect,

THEREFORE, THE LORD HAD GIVEN KNOWLEDGE TO BE PERFECT, through His words, the SPIRIT, Jn 6: 63--It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

So then we are to learn through ALL SCRIPTURE, to become HOLY and PERFECT as He is, and be doers of the WORD---Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word,

Mt 4: 4, --Lu 4:4  - It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

THEN we ought to find out FROM SCRIPTURES, how we could gain divine nature, or godliness!

How is this mystery brought about?—Paul the minister to gentiiles, Ro 15:16, preached,1Co 2:2  For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED, NOTHING ELSE—then we ought to know HIS GODLINESS FROM HIM who was CRUCIFIED!

Ga 6:14  But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

LIKE PAUL, WE TOO ARE TO GLORY IN THE CROSS OF OUR LORD!

 THIS IS WHY WE ARE TO go through Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His rigteousness, vs 19, 22.

EXAMINE THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST-

Ro 6:6  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.

AFTER CRUCIFYING OLD MAN WITH HIM, WE ARE NOT TO SIN!---our past sins forgiven—and destroyed!

-Ro 6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

John the Baptist said that JESUS CHRIST would baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: Mt 3: 11--

12  Whose fan is in His hand, and He will throughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

THE LORD BAPTIZES with Holy spirit (Jn 6: 63, it is the words to give life) and WITH FIRE, (Jer 5: 14, the fire is word of God to cleanse you, Jer 23: 29),

And through that baptism, the LORD SEPERATES WHEAT, AND THE CHAFF WOULD BE BURNT.

WHEN WE ARE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH, HIS CROSS IS INVOLVED—what help would the CROSS OF JESUS give us?

Crucifixion involves the cross of JESUS CHRIST by which we are to remove the lusts of the flesh, so that GODLINESS would be produced—Gal 5: 24, Ro 6: 6

Therefore, we learn, THAT THE LORD BAPTIZES US INTO HIS DEATH, GIVING HIS SPIRIT, THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE—

WE OUGHT TO EAT THEM, MT 4: 4, LK 4:4.

WE OUGHT TO HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN US WHEN WE EAT THEM—

Ro 8:9  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.

Then we ought to HAVE HIS SPIRIT—His words should dwell in us, to be doers of the word!

When we have His spirit, we would work with His spirit, and produce fruits--

 AND GAL 5: 22-24 SPEAKS OF fruits of HIS SPIRIT—

WHAT IS THIS SPIRIT?---Jn 6: 63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

So Gal 5: 22-23, shows that the spirit profiteth—

Gal 5: 19-21 shows that flesh does not profit!

ESCAPING THE CORRUPTION IN THE WORLD THRU LUSTS, YOU ARE TO PARTAKE THE DIVINE NATURE, GODLINESS through HIS SPIRIT! We would not be His, if we do not have HIS SPIRIT!—AND THEY ARE THE WORDS THAT JESUS CHRIST SPOKE!

And you FIND THE SPOKEN WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST WRITTEN IN THE SCRIPTURES!

Ga 5:16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Ga 5:18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Paul said---1Co 6:12  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

IN Rom 7.14-24- we see that Paul struggled with the law. In vs. 7-- he learnt sins thru the laws.

In Rom 8.1-2 –THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST MADE PAUL FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. This happened when he learnt to walk according to the spirit and THEN, such would not be condemned---vs. 3-4--- WE SEE JESUS CHRIST CONDEMNED SIN IN THE FLESH AND THEREFORE WHEN THE LORD COULD NOT JUSTIFY THE BELIEVERS, HE JUSTIFIED THEM THRU HIS GRACE, TAKING THEIR SINS UPON HIM ON THE CROSS.

2Ti 4:7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

IN THOSE VSS. WE FIND PAUL KNEW SIN THROUGH THE LAWS OF JESUS CHRIST, he was under the law towards Christ, 1CO 9: 21,

And through SPIRIT he received from JESUS CHRIST, Paul fought the good fight laid before believers, AND HE WON BY KEEPING THE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST!

1Co 4:16  Therefore I urge you, imitate me.

1Co 11:1  Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

THEN, WE SHOULD DO AS PAUL DID. WE SHOULD BE LAWFUL, the laws of love of JESUS CHRIST should lead us.

THEREFORE THE LORD’S SPOKEN WORDS SHOULD LEAD YOU, SO THAT YOU WOULD NOT BE UNDER LAW, Gal 5: 18!—YOU SHOULD NOT FULFILL GAL 5: 19-21---BUT FULFILL GAL 5: 22-23.

 2

When you fulfill Gal 5: 22-23, YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE POWER OF ANY LAW. (please remember that NO ONE COULD BE ABOVE THE LAW—above the law means, you COULD BREAK THE LAW, but when you are not under law, it means, that when you are walking by spiritual laws [His words contain commandments for reproof, for instruction etc.], THAT MEANS WHEN YOU ARE LAWFUL, YOU CANNOT BE JUDGED AS HAVING BROKEN ANY LAW—

Then you are NOT UNDER THE POWER OF ANY LAW!

Gal 5: 25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

18--  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

1 Co 9: 21- (--, but under law toward Christ)--

Gal 6: 2  Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

SO WE SEE THAT THE LORD WANTS US TO KEEP HIS LAW OF LOVE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER.

Paul disciplined himself to walk in the spirit--

1 Co 9: 27  But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection,

So we should also do so—Paul was the minister to gentiles, Ro 15: 16, and through the gentiles these teachings are brought to Israel, Isa 60: 3, because gentiles were made the first born, Isa 14; 30, as they hear the word, Acts 28: 28.

THEREFORE, THROUGH THE GENTILES ISRAEL IS BEING TAUGHT BY JESUS CHRIST OF HIS GODLINESS, THE DIVINE NATURE!

Godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life, 1Ti 4:8, pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness, 1Ti 6:11, truth which accords with godliness, Tit 1:1, His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, 2Pe 1:3, you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 2Pe 3:11,

SO TO BECOME GODLY , IS VERY ESSENTIAL FOR BELIEVERS.

THOSE WHO KNOW JESUS CHRIST SHOULD DEPART FROM INIQUITY TO BECOME GODLY-

2Ti 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."

WE OUGHT TO KNOW HIS DIVINE NATURE

2 Pet 1: 3  as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

4  by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Gal 5: 19-24 SHOWS THAT WE ARE TO AVOID LUSTS AND PRODUCE FRUITS UNTO Righteousness THROUGH CRUCIFYING LUSTS TO THE CROSS—Godliness is to be gained as Godliness HAS THE PROMISE OF THE LIFE--

THAT IS WHY PAUL PREACHED HIM AND HIM CRUCIFIED—

Crucified JESUS CHRIST had given His power, the Holy spirit to us to CRUCIFY LUSTS TO THE CROSS, to gain GODLINESS, HIS DIVINE NATURE!

All sins are forgiven when we go through Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His rigteousness, vs 19, 22.

Then we would be perfect as HE IS, and HIS Righteousness would be in us!

That means we ought to put away sins THROUGH THE HELP OF THE CROSS, AND SPIRIT.

Over come lusts of Gal 5: 19-21, and produce Gal 5: 22-23, thru Gal 5: 24,25.

Gal 5: 24--they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

FOR EXAMPLE

If you want to tell a lie so that you could keep a bigger share of something—OR, if you have murderous thoughts, OR, if you had been immoral,

Consider that JESUS CHRIST died for your sins, your lying, murderous, immoral natures have to be conquered, ask the help of JESUS CHRIST to get rid of those natures, FOR HE SUFFERED ON THE CROSS ON BEHALF OF YOU—

Then walk in the following spirit of JESUS CHRIST, (just a few are mentioned, and we could read more in our bibles).

Col 3:9  Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,

Jas 3:14  But if you have bitter envy and self–seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

1Jo 1:6  If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

Mt 5:21-You shall not murder, Mt 19:18  He said to Him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, "‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’

Old testament laws recorded in new testament--Ro 13:9  For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Jas 2:11  For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

(because of those laws, ONE WOULD COME TO KNOW THAT WE CANNOT DO THOSE THINGS—law teaches us what is SIN!)

Mt 5:28  "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Ga 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

Gal 6:7  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.--8  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Joh 8:44  "You are of your father the devil,--- He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

 3

SO WHEN YOU GRASP THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST, OUR COUNSELLOR ,TO GET RID OF SINFUL NATURE, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT ON DIVINE NATURE, TO BE PERFECT AS HE IS, Mt 5:48  "Therefore you shall be perfect, Jas 1:4  But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

WHEN YOU THUS CONQUER SIN THROUGH THE HELP OF THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU WALK ACCORDING TO GAL 5: 24, 25, THE COUNSEL OF OUR LORD!

1 Jn 3.9---Whoever is born of God does not sin and cannot sin.

WHAT IF YOU DO NOT KEEP GOD’S KNOWLEDGE---Rom 1: 28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN—Ro 1: 28—God gave over to a reprobate (debased) mind to do what they like---

And what are those---vs. 29-31-- being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness,------ haters of God, violent, proud, boasters,-------- undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;-----32  who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

THIS SHOWS SINS OF THOSE WHO KNOW GOD!

THAT MEANS WHEN WE ARE BORN OF GOD through Ro 6: 3-7, Lu 20: 36, (after the LORD had given us His spirit, Acts 2: 17,18; the firstfruits of the Spirit, Rom 8: 23), WE ARE NOT TO SIN. We have to overcome!

THE LORD IS PREPARING A MINISTRY TO BE WITH HIM AND SERVE HIM IN Righteousness –Mal 3: 3, 18, -Ez 48: 35, RE 21: 3, 22: 3

AND AS WRITTEN ABOVE, THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL IS GETTING THE KNOWLEDGE OF LIGHT, JESUS CHRIST, TO OVERCOME SIN, through the gentiles who were first born-Isa 14: 30.

Joh 8:12  Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

Joe 1:18, Isa 14:30  The firstborn of the poor will feed, And the needy will lie down in safety; I will kill your roots with famine, And it will slay your remnant.

2Co 8:9  For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

THE LORD ALSO BECAME POOR, TO MAKE US RICH, through the promises of inheritance, Eph 1:18-- the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

Eph 5:5  For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

That means Isa 14: 30, the first born of the poor cannot sin, or after conversion, ISRAEL of Ro 9: 4,6 too cannot sin! 

 (Who is born of God should not say “I do not mind about my sins” ASSUMING  that the LORD will CONTINUE forgiving him/her through His Grace)

GENTILES who are first born of poor, Isa 14: 30 AND SPIRITUAL ISRAEL who are to be released from spiritual captivity SHOULD  NOT ASSUME THAT THE LORD WOULD KEEP FORGIVING thru GRACE.

 AFTER GRACE PARDONED SIN, SHALL WE THEN CONTINUE IN SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND---NO—Ro 6: 1

2 Tim 2 : 19--The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

OFFERING FOR SINS IS only ONCE—

Heb 10:10  By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

14  For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

18  Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

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.

THEREFORE WE SHOULD DEPART FROM INIQUITY AFTER WE ARE FORGIVEN!

 4

AFTER WE ARE FORGIVEN FOR OUR SINS, WE SHOULD LIVE A LIFE HAVING FAITH IN TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST.

WE SHOULD DAILY CRUCIFY LUSTS AND AFFECTIONS –GAL 5: 24

WE RECEIVED GRACE TO BE OBEDIENT TO FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST—ROM 1: 5

Whatever is not from faith is sin –Rom 14.23

Heb 10:22  let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.-23  Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

If you do not daily crucify your lusts, Lk 9.23, Gal 5.24, you are not acting on faith. Then it is sin. If you do not bear much fruit, Gal 5: 22-23, to be a disciple of Christ as it is His will, Jn 15.8, you are not acting on faith, and it is as you are dishonoring His will. That means you are not acting on faith in JESUS CHRIST.

As written above, PAUL WAS LAWFUL EVEN THOUGH THE LAW DID NOT HELP HIM TO BE SAVED--1Co 6:12  -—this is because he disciplined himself through Gal 5:22-23.

Paul was not under the power of any law!

LAW IS NOT SIN, Rom 7.7 AND WE UNDERSTAND

MANY SIN, THRU LAW—THEN TO AVOID SINNING WE SHOULD KNOW THE LAW AND COMMANDMENTS.

Much knowledge could be gathered from the following self explanatory scriptures (some would be explained)

Who commits sin practices LAWLESNESS-Jn 3.4

Sin is as Sodom Isa 3.9,

You add sin to sin when you do not take counsel of JESUS CHRIST  Isa 30.1

THEN WE SHOULD TAKE COUNSEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO BE LAWFUL, and we should not keep adding sins!

Do not sin when you are angry, Eph 4.26

Having idols is sin, Isa 31.7 (honouring peoples words without checking Lords words can lead you to sin).

Sinning against your own body through sexual immorality -1 Cor 6.17,18- the LORD had brought you at a price Vs.19

Sinning as fathers, forsaking law, Jer 16.10-12, but Israel would be forgiven, Jer 31.34, and brought back, Jer 16.15,16, Rom 11: 26.

(read writings on “Romans chapter eleven”)

WARNING REIGHTEOUS IS NOT ACCUSING THEM, Ezk 3.21, Rom 13: 1-4

OPEN REBUKE IS BETTER THAN SECRET LOVE, Prov 27.5

IF THE RIGHTEOUS DOES NOT TAKE WARNING AND SINS, HE SHALL DIE Ezk 18.24.

WE ARE TO BE VERY SERIOUS NOT TO SIN –even the sinning eye, hand, or foot to be cut off, Mt 5.29,30, 18.8,9, mark 9.43,45

(the vss. show how grave the sins are!)

BLASPHEME AGAINST HOLY SPIRIT NOT FORGIVEN, MT 12.31

WORDS AGAINST JESUS CHRIST FORGIVEN, VS. 32

(THE TEACHINGS, INSTRUCTIONS  OF THE LORD ARE TO BE HONOURED).

We are to forgive 70 x 7 times, Mt 18.21-22

(Forgiving should be a way of life)

Sin no more after you are forgiven, lest a worst thing come upon you- Jn 5.14.

THERE IS NO ONE WITHOUT SIN, Jn 8.7, Gal 3.22, 1 Jn 1.8

Free yourselves from sins, Rom 8.1-11

WHOEVER COMMITS SIN IS SLAVE OF SIN, JN 8.34

IF YOU SEE, YOUR SIN REMAINS, JN 9.41

Means---WHEN YOU ARE FORGIVEN BY JESUS CHRIST AND YOU ARE BORN AGAIN YOU WOULD SEE. THEREAFTER IF YOU know and sin,  IT IS DANGEROUS.

JESUS CHRIST SPOKE TO US THROUGH HOLY SPIRIT –THEREFORE NO EXCUSE FOR SIN, Jn 15.22 (now, gentiles fall into this category, Rom 15.12,13)

 5

AFTER GRACE PARDONED SIN, SHALL WE THEN CONTINUE IN SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND---NO—Ro 6: 1

IF WE DIED TO SIN –WE CANNOT LIVE ANY LONGER IN SIN –Rom 5.20,21, --6.1,2

OLD MAN WAS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM (our body of sin to be done away- SO THAT WE ARE NO LONGER SLAVES OF SINS, Rom 6.6)

WHEN WE THUS DIED TO SIN, WE ARE FREED FROM SIN,

 Rom 6.2, 7—

THEN WE ARE ALIVE IN JESUS CHRIST, Rom 6.11

WE ARE COMMANDED NOT TO LET SIN REIGN IN OUR MORTAL BODIES-, Rom 6.12

WE ARE COMMANDED NOT TO BE AS INSTRUMENTS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS TO SIN, BUT BECOME INSTRUMENTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO JESUS CHRIST, Rom 6.13, Mal 3.18

WE SHOULD NOT BE SINNING WHEN WE ARE UNDER GRACE. WE ARE TO BE THANKFUL that we were not judged under law, BUT FOR SAVING THROUGH HIS GRACE-Rom 6.14

We are not to sin, WHEN WE UNDER GRACE Rom 6.15

WE ARE TO BE SLAVES OF JESUS CHRIST, TO OBEY HIM LEADING, to Righteousness TO SERVE HIM-Rom 6.16, Mal 3.18

We were set free by JESUS CHRIST to become slaves of Righteousness Rom 6.17-18, Mal 3.18

BEFORE WE WERE FORGIVEN, WE WERE NOT NEEDED TO BE SERVING HIM AS SLAVES OF Righteousness, Rom 6.20

Now as slaves of JESUS CHRIST, OUR FRUITS SHOULD BE TO HOLINESS,--AND IN THE END EVERLASTING LIFE, Rom 6.22

Gentiles first born, Isa 14.13, they are to produce fruits unto holiness, Gal 5.22-23, and Israel to get the light of gentiles, Isa 60.3 ( gentiles to show the light of JESUS CHRIST thru exercising the Holy spirit given to them).

Gentiles are accountable ---

Gentiles would be judged WHETHER THEY HAD HONOURED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT OR WHETHER THEY HAD INSULTED THE SPIRIT OF GRACE, WHETHER THEY HAD CONTINUED ENDURING THE SUFFERINGS –Heb 10.29-32 –for they are to suffer joyfully, Heb 10.34, THEY WOULD BE REWARDED FOR HAVING CONFIDENCE IN JESUS CHRIST, VS. 35, AND THEY ARE TO ENDURE TO RECEIVE THE PROMISE, VS. 36.

2 Tim 3: 12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.  

But CHRISTIANS HAVE TO SUFFER joyfully just as Paul did-

Col 1:24  I now rejoice in my sufferings for you,

1Pe 4:13  but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

THE RIGHTEOUS REQUIRMENT OF LAW IS FULFILLED WHEN YOU WALK ACCORDING TO SPIRIT Rom 8.4

WHEN YOU WALK ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT, GAL 5.25 AND PRODUCE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT VS. 22-23 YOU WOULD BE NOT UNDER LAW, VS.23.---THAT IS HOW JESUS CHRIST MAKES US FULFILL THE RQUIREMENT OF LAW. JESUS CHRIST GAVE US HIS HELPER, THE HOLY SPIRIT (the spoken word, Jn 6: 63), SO THAT we would fulfill the requirment of the law TO SERVE HIM.

HIS MINISTERS, THOSE WHO SERVE HIM are THUS HELPED BY HIS SPIRIT. He gives gifts in measures, according to faith and grace- Rom 12.3-8, and when we work in the spirit He helps us to produce more fruits, that means HE PRUNES THE FRUIT BEARING TREES , Jn 15.2

Read—“LORD PRUNES FRUIT BEARING TREES”

http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

THE LAW OF SPIRIT OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST MAKES YOU FREE FROM LAW OF SIN AND DEATH, Rom 8.2

JESUS CHRIST condemns sin in the flesh, Rom 8.3

THEN WE SHOULD OBEDIENTLY BE LED BY HIS SPIRIT ( spirit, being the word of God, Jn 6.63), IN OUR DAILY LIVING.

IF CHRIST IS IN YOU ( when you belive JESUS CHRIST and live in HIS SPIRITUAL WAYS, OBEYING HIS SPIRITUAL COMMANDMENTS )

You are led by His spirit.

HIS SPIRIT IS LIFE GIVING because His Righteousness would be in us, Rom 8.10

Jn 6.63 says the word quickeneth, that is His spirit quickeneth to give life.

Gal 2.17

If we are found sinners, is JESUS CHRIST A MINISTER OF SIN--------CERTAINLY NOT !

 6

We should not for a moment think that JESUS CHRIST DOES NOT MIND OUR SINS!---1 Jn 3: 6  Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.vs 5- He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.

His sacrifice, the offering of His blood is for “ ONE TIME” only—Heb 10.14,18,26

Vs. 18 says NO MORE OFFERING FOR SINS

BUT, A GREATER PUNISHMENT FOR SINNERS WHO RECEIVES HIS SPIRIT THRU HIS GRACE, Heb 10.26-29

(Please bear with me for repeating at times, when these things are repeated, they register in mind, Php 3: 1, AND THAT IS BETTER FOR ALL OF US!)

ADMONISHINGS

Awake to Righteousness and do not sin, 1 Cor 15.34

Do not sin against brethren, you may wound their conscience. IF YOU SIN YOU SIN AGAINST JESUS CHRIST, 1 Cor 8.12

Heb 3.12-Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.

EXAMPLE OF JESUS CHRIST

1 Pet 2.21-23---for even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps:

22  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth:

23  Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously:

1 Pet 4.1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind:

2Ti 3:12  Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

THEREFORE WE OUGHT TO TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS CHRIST TO SUFFER PERSECUTION WHEN WE ABIDE IN HIM, BUT WE WOULD BE JOYFUL IN THE END, WHEN HE IS REVEALED IN GLORY.

1Pe 4:13  but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

We ought to exhort one another, and live a godly life as INSTRUCTED BY JESUS CHRIST!

Ac 17: 29  "Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.

30  "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.

THEREFORE, THE OFFSPRING OF GOD SHOULD REPENT, WE ARE ALL SINNERS, EVEN THE GENTILES WHO ARE FIRST BORN, THE OFFSPRING OF GOD, Isa 14: 30, SHOULD REPENT, whenever we fall,  we all, gentiles or Israel should UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GODLINESS---OR--DIVINE NATURE, ---a SINLESS NATURE, PRODUCING FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, LIKE THAT 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 and therefore HE WAS IN LIBERTY).

 8

TO BE LAWFUL, to be doers, WE OUGHT TO KNOW THE LAW THOROUGHLY, THE WORD HAS TO BE IN OUR HEARTS, THAT IS WHY THE LORD SAYS THAT HE WOULD WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS TO MAKE THE NEW COVENANT, Jer 31:33  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Heb 8:10  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put My laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Heb 10:16  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

WHEN YOU ARE OBEDIENT TO HIS COMMANDS, YOU WOULD BE A HOLY PERSON, AMONG WHOM THE LORD IS WELL PLEASED TO DWELL!---

Divine---godliness of JESUS CHRIST would be in you when you obey Him!

AND WE COULD SEE THAT THESE LAWS OF JESUS CHRIST ARE LAWS OF LOVE—they are written all over the NEW TESTAMENT.

Mt 25: 45  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me. 46  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

SO ONLY THOSE WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE FOR THE LORD AND FOR BRETHREN WOULD ATTAIN LIFE ETERNAL.

1 COR 13 SAYS THAT WE COULD LOOSE ALL GIFTS HE HAD GIVEN US, IF WE DO NOT HAVE LOVE.

1 - Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

2  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

PLEASE READ THAT CHAPTER.

EPH 5: 11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

12  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

13  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

SO THOSE VSS ARE CLEAR—the LORD as the light of the world would REPROVE SINS AND BRING THEM TO BE KNOWN--

WHEN THE LORD MANIFEST THE REPROVED UNFRUITFUL WORKS DONE IN DARKNESS, YOU HAVE TO REPENT--

ACTS 17: 29—offspring--30--And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

EPH 5: 14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

IN THOSE VSS. OFFSPRING OF GOD ARE COMMANDED TO REPENT, we ought not to think THAT WE CAN GO ON SINNING, even in the daily prayer taught by JESUS CHRIST, we ask forgiveness, as we forgive others. That means we are to repent of all our wicked deeds.

 9

Eph 5:11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

13      But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

JESUS CHRIST, THE LIGHT EXPOSES SINS OF PEOPLE SO THAT ALL WOULD BE CORRECTED--

WHEN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST MANIFESTS THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE EXPOSED, it has to be known by all.

EPH 5: 14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

ISRAEL OR GENTILES—THEIR SINS HAVE TO BE EXPOSED SO THAT ALL WOULD LEARN—THIS IS WHY THE LORD MADE Judgments ON ISRAEL, and HE WOULD ALSO JUDGE IN THE LAST TIMES—

RE 22:12  "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

TO GIVE REWARDS, A Judgment WOULD TAKE PLACE!

1Co 3:13  each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

SO THE WORD OF GOD WOULD REVEAL EACH ONE’S WORK, AND A TEST WITH FIRE, (Jer 5: 14, words of His anger to BURN THE WICKEDNESS) WOULD BE DONE.

We are to understand the will of the LORD and OBEY HIM.

AS THE DAYS ARE EVIL, QUICK REPENTANCE HAS TO BE PRODUCED, redeeming the time, EPH 5: 16, ---

AS JESUS CHRIST WOULD GIVE LIGHT TO THE DEAD (who are in sin)!

Arise from dead, Eph 5; 14,—THAT MEANS REPENT BEFORE JESUS CHRIST, HE WOULD GIVE LIGHT to the sinners!

Mt 12: 24- Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

IF WE HAD ERRED, CORRECT QUICKLY IF YOU KNOW THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST!

Righteous only would GO INTO ETERNAL LIFE—MT 25:46

The LORD requires us to walk watchfully, not as fools, but knowing the scriptures to do them- (it is foolish to think that God would keep forgiving through HIS GRACE, Heb 10: 14, 17, 18{the vss say once forgiven there would be no more offering} each man is responsible how he builds on the foundation of JESUS CHRIST ---1 Cor 3: 10-- let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

 10

When the LORD had poured His spirit through His grace, we should not do against the HOLY SPIRIT--

Mr 3: 29  "but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"

This happened in Jude 4,

Paul said NOT TO BE UNAWARE OF THE FALL OF ISRAEL WHO WERE SAVED PHYSICALLY, 1Co 10:1, 2—

1 Co 10: 3-all ate the same spiritual food,

5  But with most of them God was not well pleased,

6 -  Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.

7  And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

They became idolaters through LUSTING FOR FOOD, AND ENJOYMENT!

AND THESE THINGS ARE EXAMPLES FOR US!

-         1 Co 10: 8  Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty–three thousand fell;

-         9  nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted

-         10  nor complain, as some of them also complained,

Vs. 11  Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

SO ALL THOSE HAVE HAPPENED FOR OUR ADMONITION—upon whom THE LAST DAYS HAVE COME!

We are not to lust and tempt JESUS CHRIST as the Israel did in history!

THOSE WHO ARE SAVED COULD BE DESTROYED, COULD BE CONDEMNED ETERNALLY,

JUDE 3: exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

4  For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

5  I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

SO AS 1 CO 10: 1-11 SAID, SAVED PEOPLE FACE A DANGER IF THEY GO BACK TO THE WORLD, CRAVING FOR WORLDLY THINGS!

 11

The LORD teaches through His servants the prophets—

Jer 44: 4-11 IT SAYS THAT THE LORD SENT ALL THE PROPHETS TO TEACH SPIRITUAL Israel, PCG, Ez 16: 8,

TO MAKE THEM KNOWN NOT TO SIN AGAINST HIM, BUT THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO THEM AND THEN THE LORD PUNISHED THEM,

vs. 11--Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set My face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.

It was done through gentiles, Re 11: 2.

After that the LORD is merciful to Israel-

Joe 3:21  "For I will acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted; For the LORD dwells in Zion."

True prophets will show their fruits. Mt 7.13-16, 20,21.—that means they are examples to others, 1 Tim 4: 12, Heb 13: 7, Rom 12: 17 also shows that leaders are examples to the people.

THEY ABIDE IN JESUS CHRIST, HATING SIN, AND CORRECTING PEOPLE WHO SIN—ROM 13: 3  For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil.-- 4  For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

GOD’S ministers SHOULD CORRECT GOD’S PEOPLE, the true prophets should correct the wrongdoers, who sin!

Prophets should know the word of God to do them and to teach them!

JESUS CHRIST REQUIRES US

TO PUT AWAY SIN--

1Jo 3:3  And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 5  And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.

6  Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.

7  Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.

8  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

9  Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

10  In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

IF YOU SIN, YOUR FATHER IS THE DEVIL!

THEREFORE CHILDREN OF JESUS CHRIST ARE TO AVOID SIN.

And the LORD WOULD MAKE KNOWN THE SINS OF HIS PEOPLE, TO TEACH ALL NOT TO SIN, and THUS DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL!

If people are allowed to SIN, they would die! But the LORD CAME TO DELIVER MEN FROM DEATH-

 12

Understand--

1Co 15:56  The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.(death comes through sin, law measures sins—for example,

Through sinning with a harlot, you become “one flesh” with a harlot!

1Co 6:16, IF YOU DO NOT DO GOOD TO BRETHREN, YOU DO IT FOR JESUS CHRIST, Mt. 25: 45)

1Co 15:55  "O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?"

Ho 13:14  I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction---JESUS CHRIST SAVES HIS PEOPLE FROM SIN.

SINFUL LEADERS ARE DEAD SPIRITUALLY –

THEY ARE IN SPIRITUAL GRAVES-Laodicean!

THEY ARE AS BEASTS-

Ps. 49: 12  Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 13  This their way is their folly:

14  Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them;

15 - But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave:

20  Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.—THESE VSS. SAY THAT THE LEADERS WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND ARE SPIRITUALLY DEAD AND ARE IN GRAVE—

They are as beasts that perish!

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ISRAEL,

BUT THE LORD WOULD REDEEM THEM FROM THE POWER OF GRAVE,

Isa 43:3  For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;- Jer 14:8  O the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble, Why should You be like a stranger in the land, And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?(in the spiritual night JESUS CHRIST had been away from His people, BUT HE IS WORKING TO SAVE THEM –HE REQUIRES Israel TO HAVE FAITH IN HIM, just as the gentiles did)

THE LORD IS TEACHING ISRAEL HOW TO PUT ON INCORRUPTION

1Co 15:54  So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

1Co 15:57  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Jo 5:4  For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world––our faith.

THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, WE HAVE TO OVERCOME THE WORLD!

JESUS CHRIST PAVED THE WAY—HE SHED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT FOR REMISSION OF THEIR SINS, Mt 26:28  "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Lu 22:20  -- "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

Heb 9:18  Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.

Heb 9:20  saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

-BUT THAT OFFERING IS ONCE, HEB 10: 14,18,

18  Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

19 - Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20  by a new and living way

22  let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,

24  And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

25  not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

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.

29  Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

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.

SO THOSE VSS. SAY WE CANNOT SIN—WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN WHAT WE DO AFTER WE ARE GIVEN HIS SPIRIT, AND AFTER FORGIVING OUR SINS.

Now gentiles, the first born have to be careful as the above vss. say!

 13

There is no excuse for sin, Jn 8.34, 9.41, 15.22    

JESUS CHRIST saves men from death and death was spread through sin, Rom 5.12

We are to win the crown of Righteousness, 2 Tim 4.28, it is a race for the believers, 2 Tim 2.5, Phi 3.14,

EACH MAN HAS TO BE CAREFUL HOW HE BUILDS, 1 COR 3.10, WE ARE TO BE STEADFAST UNTO TO THE END, HEB 3.14, WE SHOULD NOT BE HARDENED THROUGH DECIETFULNESS OF SIN, but should be exhorting one another daily, HEB 3.13,

NOT ONLY WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL----BUT EXHORT ONE ANOTHER TOO!---so that all would be careful NOT TO SIN!

Jas 5:20  let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

1Pe 4:8  And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."

His spirit leads us and chastens us TO TAKE AWAY PRIDE, LUSTS, OTHER SINS OUT OF OUR LIVES.

THEREFORE WE SHOULD LISTEN TO HIS INSTRUCTIONS.

Perfect man

Jas 3:2  For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

THAT IS HOW NEW MEN SHOULD LIVE—

UNDERSTAND THE WILL OF THE LORD

EPH 5: 17  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

EPH 5: 10  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

WE SHOULD DO WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE LORD!

Liar

1 Jn 4: 20  If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

21  And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

IT IS THE COMMANDMENT WE HAVE FROM HIM!

So if you do unkind things to your brethren, you do not love God!

THE LORD IS PREPARING A MINISTRY TO BE WITH HIM AND SERVE HIM IN Righteousness –Mal 3: 3, 18, -Ez 48: 35, RE 21: 3, 22: 3

SO WE ARE TO CORRECT WHEN WE FIND OUT OUR WRONG ATTITUDES, SINS, FOOLISH WAYS THAT ARE AGAINST THE TRUTH OF JESUS CHRIST!

It is the ministry that would teach others of the ways of JESUS CHRIST—then they should know His ways and practice them to be with Him—

And the LORD would accomplish His will in making a holy ministry among Israel—Rom 11: 26, Ez 48: 35, Re 21, 22-new Jerusalem, Isa 62:4, Re 19: 7, in Mal 3: 3, He was purifying them as gold and silver during the LORD’s day, Ro 9: 28, Ps. 90: 4.

The ministry should become ambassodors of JESUS CHRIST-

Ambassadors of JESUS CHRIST are new creations, 2 Co 5: 17-20, we should not receive grace IN VAIN, 2 Co 6: 1, then we are to glory even in our tribulations when we have peace with JESUS CHRIST, Rom 5: 1-4.

 14

Sons of light should WATCH, 1 Thes 5: 5,6, we are to put on,

breast plate of FAITH and LOVE, and HELMET of SALVATION, through JESUS CHRIST, vss 8,9. WE SHOULD LIVE TOGETHER WITH HIM, vs. 10, WE ARE TO ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER, vs. 11-19, TESTING ALL THINGS, WITHOUT QUENCHING THE SPIRIT, performing what we are to do, vss 19-21.

22  Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23 - And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24  Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

25  Brethren, pray for us.

SO ALL THINGS SHOULD BE OVERCOME WITH PRAYERS,

And crucifying sins on the cross—AND THE LORD GAVE THE HELPER, Joh 14:16, 26,--THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD YOU –GAL 5: 24

Lu 9:23- If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Gal 5: 25-they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Ro 8:13  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Tit 2:12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

So we learnt how THE HELPER, THE HOLY SPIRIT, guides US TO MORTIFY THE WORKS OF THE FLESH—through the cross of JESUS CHRIST –

1 Co 10: 24--Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well–being.

In these writings SOME OF THE LAWS OF JESUS CHRIST were discussed, when we are under LAW TOWARDS CHRIST, 1 CO 9: 21,

If we have the mind of Christ, we would judge all things spiritually, AND NO ONE WOULD JUDGE US, 1 CO 2; 13-16, SPIRIT OF GOD KNOWS THE THINGS OF GOD, 1 CO 2; 11, therefore the words of God which is SPIRIT, JN 6: 63, HAVE TO BE STUDIED WELL, TAKEN TO HEART TO DO THEM, to be UNDER THE LAW OF JESUS CHRIST, 1 CO 9: 21. when we are walking, honouring the laws of JESUS CHRIST, we would be lawful like Paul, and the law would not have any power on us, we would be not under law anymore, Gal 5: 18.

WE WOULD BE BABES IN JESUS CHRIST and CARNAL, IF WE ARE DIVIDED, THEN WE CANNOT be given to EAT SPIRITUAL MEAT!

2 CO 3; 1-3, COULD BE DECEIVED, 2 CO 11: 3,  and we should BE OF ONE MIND TO LIVE AS NEW MEN, Ro 15:6,

2 CO 12; 10,11—WE SHOULD take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake,

1 CO 15: 33-34—new men sin when they do not have knowledge of God!

More admonishing could be found in scriptures as you study. The LORD would make you understand when you desire to eat the LORD’S SPIRITUAL FOOD.

Lu 11:28  But He said, "More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
