ALIVE TO GOD
Jer 4 -1-4, 14, LORD
requires ISRAEL to return to Him if they put away abominations, and ISRAEL, His
people are to swear that the LORD LIVES–in truth, in judgment and in
Righteousness, Jer 4: 2. (God is correcting ISRAEL, His chosen).
LORD IS A GOD OF LIVING PEOPLE, (God of Abraham, is not
the God of dead, but of LIVING, Mt 22: 32. Abraham is father of chosen ISRAEL,
Isa 41: 8, Jas 2: 23) , IN Eze. 16: 6 LORD MADE
JERUSALEM TO LIVE—HE GAVE HIS GOOD
THINGS, VS. 8-14, AND REQUIRED TO PUT AWAY ABOMINATIONS, vs. 2, YET THEY BROKE
COVENANT, VS. 59 –SUCH ARE DEAD IN SIN (wages of sin is death, Ro 6:23, all are as
dead as all sinned, Dan 9: 11, Ro 3: 23)
Therefore
God wants ISRAEL who are dead in abomonations to be ALIVE THROUGH HIS HELP, -THE ONLY WAY
POSSIBLE TO BE ALIVE---
is baptizing into His death to be raised in newness of life, free of sin, Ro 6: 3-5, vs. 8--if we
are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also LIVE WITH HIM,
11—reckon yourself also to be dead indeed to
sin, BUT
ALIVE UNTO GOD through JESUS CHRIST.1 Co 6: 20-for ye are bought
with a price,
Gal 2: 20—I am crucified with Christ, Christ
liveth in me—( we are to live through faith in JESUS CHRIST)—when we obey to be
baptised unto His death, we get these benefits, Ps. 68: 19, 116:12.
THROUGH HIS CRUCIFXION WE ARE
BLESSED IMMENSELY! WE COULD BE ALIVE TO GOD ONLY THROUGH BAPTIZING INTO HIS
DEATH—there is NO OTHER WAY!
We are to study Ro 6 thoroughly to LEARN HOW TO BE FREED FROM SIN, to be ALIVE to serve God by presenting our members as
slaves of Righteousness for holiness. (This is how the LORD would make
the priesthood “Holiness to the LORD”, Zec 4:20)---LORD
IS A WONDERFUL COUNSELLOR, Isa 9: 6
Jer 4:4 requires men of God, Ro 9: 4,6, to circumcise themselves to the LORD,
to take away the foreskins of hearts as they did not obey to repent,
Jer 44:5, -Now the ONLY WAY TO circumcise
to the LORD and to put away sins—could be accomplished ONLY through burying with Him
in baptism, so that your sins are forgiven and YOU
ARE MADE ALIVE, Col 2:11-13.
After 70 years, Isa 23: 15,17, Jer 25: 11,12,-- the LORD
took on Himself to rule Jerusalem, when LORD’s ISRAEL
servants (prophet and leaders) forgot
ark of covenant, Jer 3: 15,16, by breaking covenant, Eze. 44: 7, ----
LORD took gentile servants to burn the wickedness of ISRAEL servants (they are thorns, Eze. 2: 6, it is not good to
sow among thorns-Jer 4; 3) during LORD’s day, Mal 3: 3, Isa 9:18, Ez 30:3,Is
27:11 –gentile women witnesses of outer court, Re
11:2,Is 56:4-6,Zec 12:8-10) serve
the LORD.
When ISRAEL servants of the LORD thus FELL, ISRAEL PEOPLE OF ROM 9: 4,6 WERE A HELP TO THE
GENTILES---BECAUSE OF
THEIR FALL,
GENTILES WERE GRAFTED TO THE VINE, ROM 11: 11, Joel 2: 28, 29, ACTS 2:
17,18, LORD GAVE GENTILES TO ISRAEL, Isa 42: 6-Isa
14: 1-2, AND THE GENTILES ARE TO OPEN THE
BLIND EYES, AND TO BRING OUT THE PRISONERS, Isa 42: 7, Isa 60: 3, BECAUSE ISRAEL
ARE IN PRISON HOUSES AND NONE SAYETH RESTORE, Isa 42; 2. (gentiles understand LORD’s work of
restoring ISRAEL—and they serve the LORD –the work today is to restore ISRAEL!)
When ISRAEL is in
captivity, as PRISONERS, in PIT, where there is no water, IT IS THE BLOOD
OF THE COVENANT THAT HELPS THEM TO COME OUT OF THAT PIT! Zec 9: 11---pits mean graves—spiritual
graves! There is no water—famine of the word! (means cannot understand LORD’s words!)--- where
the leaders are staying, Isa 14: 15, 19, --Isa 24: 17—18—they are as prisoners
in pit, until they were visited by the LORD, Isa 24: 22, ---it is a pit of
corruption, Isa 38: 17, THOSE IN PIT CANNOT
PRAISE GOD, Isa 38: 18, captives
SHOULD NOT WAIT IN PIT –THEY SHOULD HASTEN TO BE LOOSED,
THEIR BREAD WILL FAIL, OTHERWISE, Isa 51: 14, THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO PIT
ARE DELIVERED TO DEATH, Eze. 31:
14, SPIRITUAL NATIONS WHO SINNED, Eze. 12:
15, ARE IN PITS, Eze. 32:
18-30--
BUT IT IS THE LORD’S BLOOD OF THE COVENANT THAT BRINGS
THESE PRISONERS FROM THAT WATERLESS PIT, Zec 9: 11----THE
LORD’S BLOOD IS TO BE SPRINKLED ON THE NATIONS IN THE PITS, Isa 52; 15, NATIONS
BEING REPRESENTED BY LEADERS WHO WERE SENT INTO CAPTIVITY BY THE LORD, Eze. 39:
21-23, Eze. 12: 3-15, ---AND THE BLOOD IS TO BE SPRINKLED IN Ezekiel TEMPLE, Eze.
43: 18 TO SANCTIFY THEM,
THIS IS THE BLOOD OF JESUS
CHRIST, FOR THE NEW COVENANT, HEB 9: 13, --12, 24, ---THEY ARE TO BE SANCTIFIED
BY THE SPIRIT (by word, Jn 6: 63) UNTO OBEDIENCE--1 PE 1: 2.
THEREFORE THOSE IN PIT HAVE
TO BE SANCTIFIED BY WORD OF GOD, AND SPRINKLED BY HIS BLOOD SHED ON THE CROSS
TO BE MADE ALIVE—THEY HAVE
TO BE BAPTISED INTO HIS DEATH TO GET THE SPRINKLING OF HIS BLOOD!

When you are thus made ALIVE –by
believing in Him and go through baptism unto His death you are able to dwell
with Him, Re 21:2, NEW JERUSALEM would be ready to serve Him Re 22:2, ---After
ISRAEL chosen, Ro9:4,6, keeps the ordinances of Ezekiel Temple, Ezk 43:18 and
when LORD accepts them, Ez 43:27, all promises of LORD would be granted to
ISRAEL , Re 21:7,Ez ch 48, and LORD will
dwell with them, Ez 48:35-
Thus the BRIDE, New
Jerusalem, Re 21:2, would be ready to serve
JESUS CHRIST,Re 22:2, cleansed as
if she had not sinned (all
sins erased off at baptism into His death, Ro 6), she would be called
Hephzibah, and the land would be no more forsaken and desolate ,Is 62:4, she
would be a virgin and JESUS CHRIST would rejoice over bride, vs. 5,
notice that the sins
of a great harlot is washed over at the LORD’s baptism, she would be sinless-even
a mother of harlots, R 17:5 who increased her wickedness in the land, Le 19:29
is WASHED VERY PURE-THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS
CHRIST ).
Thus the LORD purifies a ministry to become holy and perfect
to serve Him in Holiness and Righteousness ,Ro 6:19, and they produce fruits to holiness and
everlasting life, Ro 6:22. they would come to F.O.T, Zec 14:
16-19, purified as in Passover , Eze. 45: 21-25.
Even
the
gentiles were purified through His blood to serve Him, to take hold
of covenant, (Eph 2:13,Is 56:4-6) and BLOOD OF THE COVENANT RELEASES THE
CAPTIVES, Zec 9: 11, that is to make the new covenant ,Ez 16:60-63,
as covenant made in Ez 16:8, was broken ,Ez 16:59,44:7( due to Bamah matter, Eze. 20; 29).
Captives
are expected to take the words and return to the LORD Hos 14:1,2, that is to follow
word of God, understanding what had happened and how the LORD helps!
Life giving words are His spirit, Jn 6:63, therefore we are to
be doers of the word of God.
When people of God get baptized unto His death, according to
WORD OF GOD, they will be made ALIVE TO GOD, NOBODY COULD BE ALIVE TO SERVE GOD UNLESS THEY GET
BAPTISED UNTO HIS DEATH AND GET PURIFIED THROUGH HIS BLOOD, TO SERVE HIM IN HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS!—ACCORDING TO HIS STANDARDS!
LORD exalts His law and makes it honorable, Isa 42;
21—therefore we are to follow His commands when the LORD is building New
Jerusalem and His covenant.
All praise be to JESUS CHRIST, our one true God of
Salvation.
