No. 158The Elementary Principles of Christ Part 2
A. Prophet: Jesus Christ fulfilled his prophetic Ministry as the greatest prophet who revealed the will of God and the implementation of the word of God to his people. All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ, and his word. His word is the perfect word of God that no prophet can ever change; Colossians 2:3, for he is the only begotten son of God (John 1:18). The message of Christ is perfected in his works of his Baptism, death on the Cross of the fulfilment of the righteousness of God for mankind for the remission of sins from the hearts from the hearts of men. His message and teaching emphasis that it is not possible to receive the Salvation of God without believing in the baptism of Jesus and his blood of the cross. Those who do not believe are already condemned, because of not believing in the name of the only begotten Son of God, so they remain in sins (John 3:18). these people cannot find the way out of condemnation because they will not believe the word and the sermon of that has the authority and power to lead the listener to obey His word. B. High Priest: God the Father spoke to His Anointed, Christ in Psam 110:4; "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.", not from the order of Aaron, but of His Father's will. The priest of the old Testament were pointers to the Christ, the everlasting and perfect High Priest, Hebrews 9:24; "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:" There are three works manifested by Jesus Christ as the everlasting High Priest for the salvation of mankind: First he offered himself as a sacrifice for our sins for ever. He has redeemed mankind with his baptism and blood of the cross. He completed God's righteousness by obtaining eternal redemption for us. His sacrifice of Atonement was prohesied for thousands of years and known through the sacrificial rituals of the laying on of hands, the laying on of hands on the heads on the passover lamb and bloodshed.

No. 157The Elementary Priciples of CHRIST, Part 2.
The Devine Nature Of Jesus Christ:- Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Triune God. Simon Peter confessed him in Matt.16:16; the High Priests also knew him to be Christ, though they rejected him as Christ because of unbelieve; Matt.26:63-64. The angel who visited Mary also told her that the child in her womb was the Holy Son of God; Luke 1:35, His Father revealed him to the world in his baptism; Matthew 3:17; "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."; Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22. These events were chosen by God, not only to reveal Jesus to the World; but also for Jesus to take upon his head the sins of the world and fulfil all the righteousness of God in his baptism; Matthew 3:15. The poofs that Jesus is God and, has the same particular power as the Father can be found in the following scriptures; John 5:26; Rom.8:32; Jn.1:1; Jn.1:14, 3:16 and Jn.5:18, where Jesus called God as his own Father. The Human Nature Of Jesus Christ: Jesus was born as a man; Philipians 2:7-8 and called " The man Christ Jesus", 1 Timoyhy 2:5 and, dwelt among us John 1:14, as a man he was baptised by John the Baptist. Though He was God incarnet to man he experienced everything we are and , yet he was without sins. He was a descendant of Adam. The following scriptures tell of his human nature and lineage; Luke 3:38; Luke 2:6-7; Matt.1:18-25; Gal.4:4 and Matthew 1:1. Although Jesus Christ was born without sins, however he was weakened by the sins of the world which he shouldered in the the baptism which he received from John the Baptist, and suffere; by which he fulfilled all the righteousness of God; John 19:30; he could not be differetiated from men; Isaiah 53:2-3. Although Jesus had the human nature he did not sin; He was in everyway tempted as we are yet without sin; Hebrews 4:15. He bore the sins of the world by John's baptism; For this he was crucified for the sake of sinners. As the everlasting High Priest fitting for us; It is written; Hebrews 7:26, "For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is Holy, harmless, undefield, seperate from from sinners. Christ's Three Duties: In the old Testament only three kinds of people were anointed by oil, the prophets, the priests and the kings; 1 Kings 19:16; Exodus 40:13-15; 2 Kings 9:3. His roles dipicted in the following scriptures; Deuteronmy 18:15; Psalm 110:4; Zechariah 6:12-13. All his roles were fulfilled in his baptism to shoulder all the sins of the world, crucified and rose again from the dead.

The Elementary Principles of Christ Part 2
II. CONFESSION OF FAITH IN GOD THE SON "I believe in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead." Jesus Christ: The name "Jesus" is the Greek translation derived from the Hebrew origin, (Jeh-ho-shoo'-ah), meaning "Jehovah is Salvation." In Hebrew Christ is the old Testament's Messiah, whilst in Greek He is the anointed One. In the four gospels He is "The Christ", telling us that Jesus is the Absolute God Himself. God the Father sent him to deliver everyone living on this earth from sins. Strictly speaking, "Jeus" and "Christ" are noninterchangeable. "Jesus" means the interceder or peace maker between God and the mankind. "Christ" means the "anointed One" in line with the ancient Middle East custom to anoint someone entrusted with a high office. For the Jews, God commanded the people to anoint prophets, priest and kings to show that the people were approved of God to minister in the specific calling (1 Kings 19:16, Psalm 133:2). This customs were only specific for certain periods when such people were alive even though their ability to fulfil this duties were imperfect, this fact meant that the people had to wait for the perfect one anointed by God to come. Hence Jesus was born to fulfil all the righteousness of God, (Matt.3:15-17, Mark 1:10-11 and Lk.3:21-22). Jesus testified on this in, Luke 4:18; "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and the recovering of sight to the blind, to se at liberty them that are bruised,", also in Isa.61:1. Jesus Christ is the anointed of God, the saviour of mankind, redeemer and intercessor and has power and authority to which is manifested in his fulfilmenbt of all the righteousness of God. Christ's Attributes:- Christ was before the Creation, Ephesians 1:4, "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be without blame before him in love:", also in Ephesians 1:10, "That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on the earth; even in him:" To fulfil his promise God sent Jesus Christ as one of the decendant of Abraham, and that he would anointed so that all nations would be blessed because of him, Gen.22:17-19, we also note from the prophesy of Jacob that he would come as a descendant of Judah, Gen.49:10. Isaiah also prophesied that he would take the sins of the world and to be rejected to die and be buried, Isaiah 53. The Devine Nature Of Jesus Christ:- Christ is the Eternal God incarnated in the flesh of Man, and he is for ever God Himself, Jn.1:1,14 and Rom.9:5. The confession God's church about the devine nature of Christ is not by the wisdom of man; but by God himself, Matt.16:17. All the truths of the bible tells us without confusion, the devine nature of Christ according to the following scriptures:- Micah 5:2; Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 16:16; Mark 8:29; Luke 9:20; Philipians 2:6; 1 John5:20; Matthew 26:63-64; Mark 15:2; John 10:30; John 8:58 and John 17:5. We can say that all those who received healing from the Lord or for healing them of incurable diseases and his teaching to his disciples to believe his were dependentor the result of their recognising his divinity.

No. 155The Elementary Priciples of CHRIST, Chapter 1
We Must Recognize God As The One Who Has Saved Us From The Sins Of The World:- Mankind and religions change; but God's love is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow. But the love of mankind is carnal because is governed by emotions, it is constantly changing, so is selfish and sefl-centred. God's love is true, sacrificial and is eternal, hence the bible tells us ; Roman 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."; John 3:16, "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."; and 1 John 4:10, tells us, "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to be the proptiation for our sins." We must believe in God to be Saved from our sins and, receive eternal life by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. God Hears Our Prayers Paternity, the flesh and blood relationship betwen father and children which enable them to live in the same house, can be equated to the faith that believes in the baptism of Jesus and his blood through the gospel of the water and the Spirit that makes us the children of God. Hence we are able to live on this earth in the church of God as his Saints until we join God in the Kingdom of Heaven when we leave this earth. We are blessed that God is our Father because of our faith that believes in the gospel of the water and the Spirit as stated in Romans 8:15, "For ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father." The truth is that it is the faith in the gospel of water and the Spirit that forgives everyone from their sins. The Holy Spirit will not fall on those who do not believe in the gospel of water and the Spirit, because their sins are not forgiven and, cannot become the childrenof God. If they believe,they have faith in the Lord, and can receive whatever they ask the Father in the name of Jesus, John 16:23; "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, Verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you." God is not reproachful of us however often we approach him with our needs; James 1:5. WE must Believe In God As The One Who Will Give Us Our Inheritance:- We become the adopted sons and daughters of God when we believe the gospel of the water and the Spirit given by the Lord, Romans 8:15. Since we are adopted sons and daughters, we have inheritance with Jesus Christ and, also joint heirs with Jesus; Romans 8:17-18, we are God's Inheritors; Galatians 4:7. Since we have benn remitted from all our sins and are heirs of God we shall inherieverything from the God of christianity and to enter into the kingdom of Heaven. We cannot do this by ourselves without faith that believes in the baptism of Jesus and the blood of the only begotten son of God, John 6:39, "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day." The Apostles' Creed shows and teaches us how they believed in God. It teaches us that in confessing our belief in God, we should begin thus, " I believe in God the Father Almighty." The reason for this style of confession is because we must have the faith that God requires from us. This kind of faith makes it impossible for us to conclude that God depended on man's ability to think and experiment. When we have the kind of faith that God requires we conclude by his word that He is the absolute Creator. This is because, if we cannot prove issue by ourselves, we have to accept the Authoritative word of God. The word of God is the Authoritative truth, and the apostles and prophets were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the word of God in the Bible. Jesus is the son of God who heals all our sickness and diseases, and he is the saviour of the world. The prophets were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the account of the creation of the Universe even to his Salvation through His Son, Jesus. And we need to believe the writings of the prophets and the apostles to come the knowledge of the truth and meet the God of Truth. Christianity is believing in Jesus through the gospel of the water and the Spirit that saves from sins. It is Jesus who gave us this gospel, and we christians accept it as ours by believing in his word. We must believe his word because we were all born in sins and, only Jesus is able to save us from all our sins. We can only be saved from our sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. God gave the mankind this Truth.

No. 154The Elementary Priciples of CHRIST, Chapter 1
WHO ARE THE APOSTLES:- The Creed is associated with the Apostles and,the 12 disciples which Jesus appointed and we should know who they were. Apostles in Greek is " apostolos ", meaning a representative delegate entrusted with a mission, reserved for the twelve disciples as stated above. However, it was applied to other eminent christian teacher such as Barnabas; Acts 14:14. Qualifications and duties of the Apostles:- 1 Those directly called by Christ to spread the gospel of the water and the Spirit ( Mark 3:13; Luke 6:13; Galatians 1:1 ); 2 Those who lived with Christ and witnessed his work on the earth, his disciples; ( Acts 1:21 - 22; 1 Corinthians 9:1 ); 3 Those filled with the Holy Spirit received Power to do the work commanded by Christ; (Acts 15:28; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:8; 1 John 5:9-12); 4 Those who were given Power by Jesus Christ to perform miracles and to bear witness to the gospel of water and the Spirit on this earth. God gave grear Power to the Apostles so that Christ may be revealed through them as the Saviour (Acts 9:40; 2 Corinthians 12:12; Hebrews 2:4). 5 Those who received special calling and blessings from God (Acts 9:15; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Galatians 2:8). The Apostles were given the authority to forgive peoples' sins, ignoring their authority will lead to one's destruction. Do Jews Believe in God as the Father of Creation? The Jews believe in God, the creator of the Universe who rules over the life and death of mankind and the rise and fall of Nations, as their Father. they know him as ELOhim or Jehovah; in the New Testament he is Jesus Christ as God. Jesus called God as "God the Father (John 6:27)," "Our Father who is in Heaven (Matthew 6:9)," "The Holy Father (John 17:11)," and "My Father (John 20:17)," He appealled to His disciples to believe His teaching. In christianity we true meet and believe in God, Jesus Christ in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Christians must know who is God in whom they believe. Christians Believe in God as the Father of ALL Mankind. Christians believe that God is the only creator of the mankind; He is both the source and the nurturer and He saves and nurtures the Saints through His Holy Catholic church. Christians believe that since God is creator of mankind, He is the Father of all mankind. Therefore, all mankind are brothers and sisters only by physical to physical extent. Now for all to partake of the spiritual fraternity we must believe in the Triune God through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. True peace in this world is found in God when we believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit which He has given to us through His only begotten Son. Worshipping and worrying about the Ancestral lineage instead of serving the true God is selfdestroying because of pride and fleshly lusting after the things of this world which result in hatred, covetiousness, jealousy, conflict and wars. We must realize that all the things we see and have are good because God has provided them. This is the the meaning of Psalm 100:3; "Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. God knows how our bodies function; Because he feeds us with appropriate products for the four seasons available for the nations to enable our bodies to function correctly. We ought to be amazed at the internal workings of the organs in the body to transport the blood in our bodies that carries all the neutriente to all the organs in the body to give them life as the word of God told us in the scriptures over 3500 years ago (Leviticus 17:11), that life is in the blood. The scientists have estimated that blood circulates round the body for a distance of 675 Km a day without rest for 365 days in a year. How can this be? It is the Father that works in the innrmost mystries of life that we do not know. All the things which mankind takes for granted, such as the air and water are provided by our Heavenly Father; Gen.48:15, "And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day." And Isaih wrote; Isa.1:2-3, "Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me; The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider." These scriptures show us that it is God who feeds and nourishes our Souls. God nurtures and he is the Father of mankind.
