The Elementary Principles of Christ Part 2

The Love of God is humans realizing that there is no work of their own to be done to enter into Heave except to believe the works of God that cleanses us of all sins, past, present and future. The word of God has told us that Jesus is the only God that is permitted to save us from our sins; Matthew 1:21, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."   We cannot go to heaven to be with God because of our works, such as charity work, nor being born into the world, nor being a philanthropist, nor being a scientist, nor by human understanding nor human wisdom  etc, etc; but only by believing the gospel of the water and the Spirit which God gave to us in John 3:5 and believing that Jesus fulfilled all the righteousness of God in his Baptism, Matthew 3:15-17 and died on the cross.   WHEN WE BELIEVE IN JESUS, HOW CAN WE RECEIVE HIM? The word of God tells us, "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."   To believe we must know the truth as given by God, this truth is the gospel of water and the Spirit of how Jesus took our sins all at once in his baptism given to him by John the Baptist, taking upon himself all the sins that we will commit all our lives on this earth. We receive him by knowing this truth and believing in the truth and to become sinless and  become God's children. He accepted the condemnation for our sins and was punished vicariously on the cross; after 3 days in hades and rose again from the dead and now seated at the right hand of the throne of the Father in heaven, even now. Our God, Jesus is alive. Jesus reveals the truth to every man that is born into this world; John 1:9 STATES, "That WAS THE TRUE LIGHT, WHICH COMETH INTO THE WORLD." We must believe that Jesus accepted all our sins when he was baptised by John the Baptist in the river Jordan, THUS fulfilling all the righteousness of God, we can then be saved from all our sins, past present and future. In the flesh we cannot believe; only in the heart, our human spirit can the true light shine, the word of God removes the darkness, sins by our faith in the word of God because of believing the truth of the water and the Spirit and accepted into the heart the baptism and the blood that Jesus gave to us. the word of God tells us that we are born and to die once, and after death judgment awaits us because death does not put us out of existence permanently. Whether our souls are welcomed into heaven or cast into hell depends on whether we have the faith of the water and the blood of Jesus in our hearts. It is crucial to believe in the gospel truth of the water and the Spirit whilst we are still living on this earth. we must not waste the life span that God has given to us without accepting the truth of our salvation into the heart before death since we must all die one day, Psalm 90:10. We must not condemn ourselves by thinking that we cannot be saved for whatever reason; whatever is the level of our sins the Love of God is abundant that he would that all be saved; but the prerequisite is that we must come for the remission of sins from the heart, the human Soul. God can reach out to others when we believe because he protects us to use us to save others because of his love for us whom he created and predestinated us to make us his children in spite of the Adamic sins.   WE MUST BELIEVE IN JESUS WHO IS BOTH DEVINE AND HUMAN (JOHN 1:14) Jesus Christ was prophesied to come for he is Himself God; Isaiah 9:6, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Also Matthew 5:17 confirms he is God; "Think not I am come to destroy the Law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."; Matthew 9:6, "But that ye may know that the son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins."; Philipians 2 :5-6, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God."; Colossians 2:9, "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Jesus performed many signs and wonders when he was on the earth. He fed 5000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fishes not counting women and children. IN another instance he fed 4000 7 loaves and 2 fishes. He also calmed the turbulent sea. He walked on sea and saved Peter who was sinking in the sea. Matthew 11:5 states; "The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them." These acts could not be performed by mortal men, but God. Therefore we conclude by faith that Jesus is God Himself.

The Elementary Principles of Christ Part 2

Who is Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is God who created the Universe by the word of his mouth.   WHY DID JESUS CHRIST COME TO THIS WORLD: He came in the flesh through the body of a Virgin to to save humans from their sins, in a form that had nothing to be desired, he was not the handsome, attractive blue eyed person depicted in pictures, Isaiah 53:2. Christ came to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah 9:6-7, and Matthew 1:23. He came to shine the light of righteousness to show the unrighteousness of this world, and to be the interceder between man and God after shouldering the sins of this world in his baptism and death on the cross to give the remission of sins to believers. He came to give us access into the Kingdom of Heaven through faith in his baptism for the remission of sins from the human Soul, and the blood of the cross for us  to avoid the fiery hell. He came to shine the light of Salvation to this World. He was condemned on the cross, thereby blotting out all the sins of the world.   Is Jesus God?:   He is God for he created this very world with the word of his mouth, He created the Universe; John 1:3, "All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made." He created this world and all the vegetations. He created the Solar system, Genesis 1:3-15. Jesus was fundamentally God who created all things in the beginning. He came to save all sinners from this world, he came to shine the true life of Salvation to all sinners to save all who believe; John 1:9-12,"That was the true light, which lighted every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."   The Son of God came to blot out all the sins we have inherited from Adam, the father of mankind, and to drive away darkness from this world. His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God the Father.   Why Did People Not Receive Jesus Into Their Hearts:   Because Jesus came as a lowly man and saved sinners from their sins. Because they did not put away their faith and human understanding, and thoughts. They did not realize God created them. They did not know that they were bound to hell, not knowing they were sinners from their very births. They did not know Jesus was the Saviour. They were ignorant of the truth. They did not recognize the Saviour who is God himself. They did not respond to the gospel of the water and the Spirit. They did not know he is the truth and the way. Jesus was sent for those who were ill-treated, whose lives were lowly, those tormented by sins, who want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and to be clothed in the grace of God, hence he was born in a Manger. The people of Israel did not recognize him as God and the Messiah because he came in the form of a man, nor realize he was the Son of God, the creator of the Universe and everything in it. Hence they did not receive him, even now. The world still do not know him as creator and Saviour who has saved all mankind from their sins.   Isaiah 59:16 tells us because of the sins of mankind, when God looked down upon man from heaven, he saw no man, and there was no intercesor because the sins of man had erected a wall of partition to seperate man from him. So he came down in Jesus christ and took our sins with his baptism, and was crucified to shed his blood because he bore the condemnation for our sins, thereby saving those who believe from all their sins.   Inspite of the lack of righteousness by mankind; our insufficiencies and weaknesses and the many sins we have committed, if we realize that Jesus fulfilled all the righteousness by taking all our sins with his baptism and shedding his blood on the cross; If we accept this truth into our hearts, we can all be saved from all our sins. So there is only one Saviour in this world, and this Saviour is only Jesus. The name of Jesus itself means "He who will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).   What can we do to enter Heaven? Can we enter Heaven by doing good deeds? the answer is "No" In this world we cannot stop sinning. People cannot enter Heaven if they have sin, however tiny that sin may be. No one can enter Heaven by his/her power. We can only enter into Heaven by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit given by Jesus. "For he shall save his people from there sins (Matthew 1:21)   God made us and when we fell into sins, He became a man and came to this earth and cleansed our sins; This man is none other than Jesus who came, and was baptised to take our sins and died on the cross.

The Elementary Priciples of CHRIST, Part 2.

In comparison, sacrificial offerings by earthly priests were repetitive; But Christ offered himself once as the perfect sacrifice for the atonement of our sins. This is why he was baptised in the flesh by John the Baptised to take the sins of the world upon his flesh to the cross and died, thus fulfilling all the righteousness of God once and for all; Hebrews 9:26, "For then must he often has suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." He shouldered our sins with his baptism unto the cross, Matt.3:13-17; He was our Passover Lamb that paid the price for our redemption to God for the sake of his people, Hebrews 9:28. He did not enter the most Holy place with the blood of animals, but by his own blood, for eternal redemption, Hebrews 9:12, "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption  for us." He fulfilled the role of the High priest who could enter the Most Holy each year of atonement with the blood of animals; but with his own blood. He entered the sanctuary of Heaven with his blood of sacrifice for all who believe, to save all who believe in his baptism and blood from their guilt and curses. We are eligible for Salvation when we believe Christ's voluntary obedience to God to fulfil all his works including accepting the baptism received from John, this is how he fulfil all the righteousness of God to give his baptism and blood to his people to receive the righteousness of God. This was the righteous plan of God.   Christ is not only the eternal High Priest; but also prays for us so that we can boldly approach throne of God for our needs in his name, Hebrews 4:6; 10:19. He teaches us how to pray; Luke 11:1-4; Matt. 6:9-13 and, guarantees the answer when we pray the Father in his name. He prays for us because he is the Interceder, who for our sakes pleads and defends us before God.   Christ interceded for us whilst he was on the earth; Luke 22:32; 23:34; John 17. He has continued in this ministry of intercession after ascending into the heavens and sited at the right hand of God the Father, Rom.8:34. Christ knows our weaknesses and needs and deals with them with compassion and mercies, Hebrews 4:15, "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."   Just as the high priest of the old testament blessed the people in the name of Jehovah, He also ask for the heavenly blessings for his people. Numbers 6:22-27, he was a blessing to many whilst on the earth. On his ascenssion to heaven, he raised his hands and blessed his disciples, Luke 6:50-51. Even now he bleeses us, Eph.1:3. Christ is God himself, there is no other like unto him, he alone can be the sacrfice of atonement to keep his people and only he can fufil the Law perfectly, and only him is the interceder for mankind who is able to bring to us the heavenly blessings. Any person who does not believe in his priestly ministry cannot find another who is with God to plead his course, and such a person will not inherit the blessings of heaven, but will face eternal condemnation.   C. King:  Christ is the Eternal King of heaven and earth. his anointing is not like that of the earthly kings. He was anointed to reign with infinite power, justice and truth.   Christ Kindom is not of the world, John 18:36, but of righteousness, Joy, peace in the Holy Spirit, Romans 14:17. He rules with his word, Hebrews 4:12, " For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart.". He is not the King of the Jewish nation only; He is the head of the church, the congregation of his believers, Eph.4:15.   The church has been reddemed from the dominion of the Devil, and built with the blood of Christ and, led by the Holy Spirit and belongs to Christ forever.As the King he protects the church against all evil and will not allow any force or power to evercome his chrch. Even the gates of hell cannot prevail against his church, Matthew 16:18.   Christ rules over his church mercifully such that his people submits to his authority and obey his word. Those who do not recognize his sovereignty cannot escape from from his reign, because God the Father has enabled him to rule over the enitire Universe, Matthew 28:18; Even all the evil angels have been stripped of their authority, Colossians 2:15 and Christ rules over the kings of the earth, Revelation 1:5   Although Christ's Authority and Glory are ignored and insulted, even blasphemed on the earth, and hidden by his evil enemies (Psalm 89:51), his majesty is undeniable in the kingom of heaven as the King of Kings and the Lord of lords  (Revelation 19:16). When Christ returns in the cloud, he will honour those who believed in him and, shame those who rejected him (Matthew 25:31-46). Christ will reign in righteousness everywhere in heaven and on earth. (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21).   In the new Testament Christ was the prophet, the High Priest and King, and his teaching was with authority (Luke 4:32) as he told Pilate in John 18:37; and his miracles revealed his sovereign Authority according to his prophetic teachings and his miracles given to the people revealed his priestly mercy (Matthew 8:17).

The 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.
