RICHES FROM THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST!
Following are excerpts from –“ PART 2-- MYSTERY OF AGES-- MADE KNOWN TO GENTILES COL 1: 26, 27, ARE RICHES RESULTING FROM THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST!”
Col 1: 27-- the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:---when Christ in You takes place when you are Baptized unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, Vs. 19,22---THERE ARE PLENTY OF RICHES!-- THAT IS WHY THEY ARE ADMONISHED in-- Mt 6:33 --seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. ---The article --“SEEKING HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO SERVE HIM IN HIS KINGDOM”, explained His Righteousness unto Holiness that could be ONLY RECEIVED through Baptizm unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7, 19,22.
Power of death and resurrection, Php 3:10, of JESUS CHRIST acts upon His people who honour baptizm unto His death! We should forget the past and reach the things that are before us-Php 3:13,
All mysteries of Ages happen through mystery of Christ in His church. The cup of blessings for Passover, AND MANY OTHER RICHES ALONG WITH IT, THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION enables the establishment of KINGDOM OF GOD. THE BLESSINGS of the mysteries of ages through death and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST –(involving His blood, body, atonement, sacrifice, resurrection, giving of Holy Spirit, blessings along with Holy Spirit etc.,) are listed below, but please read them in your own bibles—
LORD’S Baptizm unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS TO SERVE HIM, Vs. 19, 22 has many blessings --then they are REQUIRED NOT TO SERVE SIN, Rom. 6; 6, 2 Tim 2; 19.
From Rom. 6 many lessons could be learnt which is given through His death and resurrection---(please read)-- if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, vs. 8, death hath no more dominion over Him, vs. 9, Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our LORD, vs. 11,
MANY OTHER BENEFITS FROM LORD’S DEATH AND RESURRECTION ARE LISTED BELOW, AND THE READERS COULD ADD MORE FROM THEIR OWN BIBLE STUDIES—
• He will swallow up death in victory, Isa 25:8, when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,--- Death is swallowed up in victory, 1Co 15:54, O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?-vs. 55.
• Quicken your mortal bodies, by His Spirit, Ro 8:11
• Life of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh, 2Co 4:11
• When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day, --- That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in Him, 2Th 1:10, 12.
• Through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, Heb 2:14--- And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage, vs. 15.
• There shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away, Re 21:4
Joh 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
• Captives freed, Zec 9:11
• Receive atonement, Rom. 5: 11, Eze. 16: 63
• Jew or gentile-we baptize into one body-1 Co 12:13
• We are forgiven-Rom. 6:3-7, Col 2:13
• You become free from rulers of church who teach men’s doctrines-Col 2:20-21
• Christ becomes our life-Col 3:4,4
• We are born again into the newness of life-Rom 6:3-7
• Holy Spirit is given, you get His name through baptizm unto JESUS CHRIST, Acts 2:38-love shed abroad in our hearts through Holy Spirit, Rom. 5:5,
• We get circumcision of JESUS CHRIST Col 2:11,12
• We would get Righteousness unto holiness, to SERVE HIM, Rom. 6:19,22 and not serve sin anymore, Rom. 6:6, 2 Tim 2:19
• Since love is shed abroad it is easy to fulfill commandments with love, Rom. 13:8-10, also helpful to act on charity, {now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity,1 Co 13: 13}.
• When we become dead to law, we are free to marry JESUS CHRIST, who should bear fruit to God, Rom. 7: 7—this is how gentiles bear fruits, declaring JESUS CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED TO ISRAEL, Ps. 22: 30-31, --similarly, when ISRAEL raise through baptizm unto His death, ISRAEL too would be free to marry JESUS CHRIST, as NEW JERUSAELM, Rev. 21: 2, 3, 10.
• When we get His holiness, Rom. 6:19, 22, we would be able to see Him, Heb. 12:14. That means we are able to ENTER the holiest –no more animal sacrifices.
• Believers would be raised (they become sons of resurrection), in heavenly places, Rom. 6: 4, 5, just as JESUS CHRIST raised in heavenly places, Eph. 1: 20. That is how the bride would be meeting in heaven, to descend as NEW JERUSALEM, Rev. 21: 2, 3, 10.
• We become sons of God-Mt 22:30, Lk 20:36, then we get the FATHER’S NAME.
• We are equal to angels, Mr 12:25, they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage, Lu 20:35—ISRAEL is LORD’S inheritance, Isa 19:25, (priests had spoiled His inheritance, Jer 16:18, Jer 12:14).
• Touching the resurrection of the dead, they become the seed of living Abraham, as God is God of living, Mt 22: 31, 32. Therefore, once written as dead, Eze. 13: 9, would be reversed, by the power of death and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST, their names would be written in the wall of New Jerusalem, Rev. 21: 12!
• Adoption as sons of God, and redemption , Ro 8:23,
• Bride purifies through Lamb, Rev. 7 14, gets clothes of Righteousness, Rev. 19: 7, 8 Enables to make the marriage covenant, Eze. 16: 60-62---PCG would be mother of rest of ISRAEL tribes, who would be her daughters (as those vss. say).
Law was until John, Lu 16: 16 -- The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. John prepared the way for JESUS CHRIST—fulfilling Mal 3: 1, and 4: 5, 6—read—“PROVE BIBLICALLY THAT JOHN, and NOT H.W.ARMSTRONG FULFILLED MALACHI 3.1 AND 4.5”. Paul GOT THE BAPTIZM OF JESUS CHRIST ---Paul got this baptizm, Ga 2:20- I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: Even John wanted to be baptized by JESUS CHRIST, Mt 3:14, -- John’s baptizm with water, was for repentance, Mt 3:11---earlier, ISRAEL were baptized unto Moses, {1Co 10:2 -- all baptized unto Moses},
JESUS CHRIST did not baptize, Jn 4: 2, (He was not dead at that time to offer baptizm unto His death), Paul did not baptize, but preached LORD’S CROSS--1Co 1:17 --For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.—that is because LORD’S BAPTIZM is to be given when JESUS CHRIST comes to set up kingdom of God, giving salvation, taking away sins, Heb 9:28, SINS WOULD BE TAKEN AWAY, FORGIVEN, AS STATED, through baptizm unto His death, Rom. 6: 3-7.
• John –water baptizm! ---
• JESUS CHRIST—baptizm unto His death!
SO WHEN JESUS CHRIST PREACHES KINGDOM OF GOD, BELIEVERS ARE TO BE BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH, TO KEEP HIS LAWS OF FAITH, Rom. 13: 8-10. Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God, Joh 3:3.
MORE RICHES---
• Inheritance to ISRAEL is given, as we see in Eze. Ch 47—48, Rev. 21---22.
• When the true worshippers are created, LORD accepts their Holy services, sacrifices of thanksgiving, Isa 51:3, Jer 30:19, Col 2:7, (earlier they sacrificed thanksgiving with LEAVEN, Am 4:5).
• Peace prevails between LORD and people and brethren/brethren, Isa 9:7, Isa 26:12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: - Isa 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; (EARLIER---Isa 48:22 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked).
• No tears, but joy fulfills in Sanctuary, Re 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
• People would obey JESUS CHRIST forever, Ps. 78: 5-8.
• ISRAEL generations would continue with the seed LORD sees through His sacrifice, Is 53:10, that means Abraham’s seed, once written off from ISRAEL registry, Eze. 13: 9, would LIVE AGAIN---JESUS CHRIST had paved the way THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE, to increase generations forever!
• Healed with stripes, Isa 53:5, 1Pe 2:24.
Col 2:11-13 speaks of dying to sin, buried with Him in baptism -----it is that described in Rom. 6:3-7, where you get baptized and would not serve sin anymore, Rom. 6:6, but serve the LORD with HIS Righteousness UNTO HOLINESS, Rom. 6:19-22. --- (as no one would see Him without Holiness, Heb. 12:14), ----HE PROVIDES HIS HOLINESS THROUGH HIS BAPTIZM, Rom. 6: 19, 22. His Righteousness enables us to SERVE HIM IN THE HOLIEST. THE MAIN THING IS WE ARE TO MAINTAIN THE HOLINESS HE GIVES US THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE, BY PRODUCING FRUITS OF SPIRIT, FRUITS OF KNOWLEDGE, AND FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS! – These things are written in --http://www.restoringcaptivity.com .
Even the cup of blessing, 1Co 10:16, is riches we get from JESUS CHRIST—
TO BE THE PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS, HE HAD GIVEN ALL THINGS through the CUP OF BLESSING — Acts 2: 38 -Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.---- THEN---TO RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT, ONE HAS TO BE BAPTIZED UNTO THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST! Holy Spirit is life giving words, Jn 6: 63. Therefore when you get baptized unto His death, Rom. 6: 3-7, you would get revelations through His spirit, YOU WOULD BE TAUGHT OF GOD, Jn 6: 45.
THE CUP OF BLESSING ---The cross is connected to His resurrection, where He shed His blood, for baptism, Ro 6:3,4, we are to take His cross daily to follow Him, Lu 9:23, Redemption, grace, propitiation by blood, shed on the cross, Ro 3: 24, 25, Justification, Rom 5:1, 9, 18, 3: 24, 1Jo 2:2, 1 Joh 4: 10, sacrifice and offering for sin, remission, atonement, Eze. 16: 63, Ro 5:11 , bearing sins, Heb 9:28 --cleansing, salvation, reconciliation, Rom 5: 10, Passover , Joh 6:54, 57, Mt 26:26, Mr 14:22 , 1Co 11:24, Many made righteous, Rom 5: 19, Rom 3: 21-22, for atonement, Ro 5:11, the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with His stripes we are healed , Isa 53: 5-12 the promise of inheritance, Eze. Chap. 47-48, through the new covenant, Mt 26:28, Mr 14:24 , Lu 22:20, 1Co 11:25 -"This cup is the new covenant in My blood”, Heb 9:18, Heb 9:20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."(That means the blood is shed to make the new covenant)—made possible for captives to return, Zec 9; 11, giving eternal life, Joh 6; 54, many more you would find when reading scriptures! THEREFORE one had to be Baptized unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His righteousness unto Holiness to serve Him, vss. 19, 22.
BLOOD OF THE COVENANT SHED BY JESUS CHRIST through SUFFERING -
Isa 53:5 -12 -Therefore -- He hath poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.---Mt 26:28 For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.--Ro 5:15 ---the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.---1Pe 2:24-Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Following articles help to understand new laws of faith of JESUS CHRIST –Numbers, 103--107, 109, 123, 125, 151, 98, 99--In --http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
BOOK OF HEBREWS SHOWS US HOW JESUS CHRIST ACCOMPLISHED BUILDING HIS CHURCH, FULFILLING ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR HIS PEOPLE, TO ENTER INTO THE HOLIEST THROUGH A BETTER COVENANT, AS NO ONE COULD ENTER THROUGH THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Heb. 7: 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
• Those called may receive inheritance---Heb. 9:15
• JESUS CHRIST is perfected and is the author of eternal salvation, High priest of Melchisedec order, Heb. 5:6-10,He is holy, no sins, Heb7:26-28.If Sanctuary ministers bears herbs when rain is given to earth, they would not become thorns and briers (Heb. 6:7,8)
• Law made nothing perfect, Heb. 7; 19, but Christ makes perfect men, in Christ, Col 1;28.
• He establishes a better covenant writing law in hearts, Heb. 8:6-11, He forgets sins ---pardons, vs. 12 (it is Rom. 6:3-7). Old covenant is ready to vanish away, Heb. 8:13- THEN SHOULD ISRAEL PEOPLE OF GOD wait on old covenant with old law--- or should they enter the new covenant to have faith in JESUS CHRIST.???
• JESUS CHRIST fulfilled all what is necessary for the new covenant - as High priest, Heb. 9:11, with His own blood He entered the Holiest having obtained redemption, 9:12, (earlier it wasn’t, 9:8), He cleanses conscience from dead works! unbiblical works are DEAD WORKS!).
• JESUS CHRIST was testator who died, Heb. 9:16, 17, Christ entered not with animal blood, but His own blood 9:24,25--- blood is needed for remission , 9:22, for sprinkling on tabernacle and vessels of ministry,---21, heavenly things of JESUS CHRIST has to be purified with better sacrifices, so IT WAS DONE WITH HIS SACRIFICE,
• -- to those who eagerly wait and hope for Him. He appears the second time to give salvation ,vs. 28, and there is a judgment for men, after dying, vs. 27. Amos 9: 1-4 describe the spiritually dead in LORD’S ALTAR!---they were judged, Eze. 16: 39-42, 2Ti 4:1, 1Pe 4:5, Rev. 20: 12.
• Through the blood of the covenant, we would be made complete to do His will, Heb. 13:20,21.
• Heb. 11 shows how fathers and other believers lived in faith to see JESUS CHRIST, considering their lives as pilgrims, Heb. 11: 13, even David lived as a pilgrim, 1 Chr 29: 15.
• Heb. 10 shows how we should honour the BLOOD OF THE NEW COVENANT, and Holy Spirit. Those who dishonour could expect a worse punishment than for those who failed through Moses’ law, Heb. 10: 26-29.
• Those who are enlightened should bear herbs and fruits, Gal 5: 22-23, so that they receive blessings from God, Heb. 6: 7. But it is impossible to renew them to REPENTANCE, if they fall away, ---they crucify JESUS CHRIST again and put Him to shame, Heb. 6: 4-6.
BOOK OF EPHESIANS SHOW US HOW THE CHURCH SHOULD CONDUCT AS BODY OF CHRIST, HONOURING THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE, SO THAT THE CONGREGATION WOULD WORSHIP HIM IN TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT. Read—“mystery of church”---http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
SIMILARLY, ALL OTHER BOOKS OF NEW TESTAMENT EXHORTS BELIEVERS TO LIVE GODLY LIVES, GIVING PRAISE AND HONOUR TO THEIR GOD JESUS CHRIST, AND TO BE IN COMPLETE OBEDIENCE TO HIM. Therefore, believers should BE STRENGTHENED through HIS CHASTENING AS A FATHER, Heb. 12: 1-28, FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE, vs. 29. GOD’S PEOPLE should NOT FAIL as ESAU, Heb. 12: 16-17, after enlightment. THEREFORE LORD INSTRUCTS IN MANY WAYS-- For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life, Joh 3:16, That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life, Joh 3:15.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO BE BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH—
• UNDERSTAND THE GREAT LOVE, GOD OF WHOLE EARTH HAS FOR HIS CHOSEN ISRAEL! Nothing is impossible for God the creator, Lu 1:37, He would do anything to get back His inheritance that is His people chosen, in the land and temple (Rom. 9: 4, 6) of ISRAEL. As His people had destroyed the beauty of His land and temple, Jer 2:7, Jer 12:7-9, Jer 50:11, God had to profane Sanctuary, Eze. 24: 21. IF THE Sanctuary was profaned, TEMPLE PRIESTS ARE DEFILED! Priests had forsaken God and are honouring H.W.Armstrong and his words mixed with lies IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD OF WHOLE EARTH! Such things had never happened in history of ISRAEL! They even named the building in the name of H.W.Armstrong! HAS ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED IN HISTORY OF ISRAEL---read the history in bible and examine! THIS IS A CAUSE FOR Lamentation!---GOD’S CREATION LAMENTS, and suffers, FOR THIS BEHAVIOUR OF GOD’S OWN PRIESTS, Isa. 14: 16, 17!
• Therefore—the priests should humble themselves to accept LORD’S BAPTIZM, Rom. 6: 3-7, so that JESUS CHRIST WOULD ACCEPT THEM IN HIS TEMPLE!
It is written that our testimony would be believed—in that day! –LORD’S DAY, gentiles times, Eze.30: 3
• When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day, --- That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in Him, 2Th 1:10, 12.
• Seeking salvation with fear and trembling, Php 2:12. SEEK THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND ALL YOUR SOUL, De 4: 29, when ISRAEL is in tribulation, during latter days, SEEK THE LORD THROUGH HIS LIFE GIVING WORDS, which is Holy Spirit, Jn 6: 63, for LORD had said “O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.-- Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto Him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips”, Hos 14: 1-2.
• Believe that the LORD would forgive all sins committed in your life, (under law given to ISRAEL), BELIEVE THE GREAT PROMISES through His sacrifice, as said in Rom. 6: 3-8--
• Accept His grace and mercy and wholeheartedly be buried with Him unto His death (understanding and believing that you would be granted all the blessings promised through HIS GRACE), AND BELIEVE that you would be raised as a NEW MAN, Ro 6: 3-7
• Then we get the “likeness of His resurrection”, vs. 5, And then we are freed from sin, and we should not serve sin anymore, vs. 6,
• Through that LORD’s baptizm, we get a NEW HEART, our STONY HEART is removed!
• Thus believers would BE BORN AGAIN in newness of Life—then--
• We get an entrance to kingdom of God, BECAUSE—unless we are BORN AGAIN, we cannot enter kingdom of God, Joh 3:3
• All these happen within you---the kingdom of God is within you, Lu 17:21, BELIEVER would know that you belong to JESUS CHRIST!
Ro 14:17- For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 1Co 4:20-- For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.--- 1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,-- 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.---therefore ONE SHOULD REPENT OF SINS, AND BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST FORGIVES WHEN YOU GO THROUGH BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH!---this is LORD’S GRACE TO ALL LEADERS who had DONE FALSE WORKS!
THEREAFTER, PEOPLE OF GOD SHOULD DO HIS WILL—Isa. 66: 23-- it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.---LORD corrects ISRAEL priests of laodiceans, who forgot new moons, that it should be remembered in Ezekiel temple, Eze.46:1, 3.
David kept them, 1 Chr 23: 30-31, -----from the beginning it was so---Num 28----Sabbaths, vs. 9, New Moons (beginning of months), vs. 11, Passover and Unleavened Bread, vss. 16-25, Pentecost, vs. 26, trumpets, 29: 1, atonement, 29: 7, Feast of Tabernacles and last great day, 29: 12-35.---H.W.Armstrong had not restored New moons! THEN SHOULD FOLLOWERS OF GOD BE BLIND TO GOD’S COMMANDS? Please understand THE GRAVITY OF MAKING MISTAKES, AND THE NEED TO change WHEN WE UNDERSTAND FROM WORD OF GOD!
2Ti 1: 9-- Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,--10- But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Re 7:12 -Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen. —
PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING BE TO JESUS CHRIST, FOR HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE, through His grace and mercy, WHICH GIVES LIGHT OF LIFE, Joh 1:4, Joh 8:12, TO ALL OF US SINNERS. AMEN AND AMEN.
