    Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit? Book Review

    Hi,I would like to tell you about a special bookthat was given to me over 10 years ago.The title of the book is,"Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?" By Paul.C.JongThis book is the greatest gift that I haveever received.This is because the words of truth within this book revealed exactly why God createdevery human being; His purpose in allowing us to fall into sin and the process by whichHe saved us from living a vain life to instead, living in peace and happiness eternally.It is common for people to question their reason for being, and to think that God putthem on this earth for a special purpose, whether its a certain vocation or talent whichthey believe brings happiness to others.But in truth, how we choose to live out our lives does not really concern God. These are things that bring joy to us and give us a sense of purpose.Before reading this book, although I hadn`t thought about it much, I knew that Jesus diedon the Cross for our sins. But when I read that Jesus was first baptized by John the Baptist to receive our past, present and even future sins upon Himself, I knew that that was something that I had never heard before.And to me, this was the greatest example of unconditional love. If Jesus had taken away all the sins that I hadn`t even committed yet, then this could only mean that God loves me far beyond my own understanding. It was clear that I did not the will of God and so I should read on to find out more about this amazing truth. And so I did.Further on in the book, the author explains that the gospel of the water and the Spirit was actually foreshadowed in the Old Testament. The book reveals that Jesus was baptized bythe high priest John the Baptist to receive our sins upon His body. This act was performed in likeness to how the high priests or the Israelites would lay their hands on a sacrificial animal in order to transfer their sins onto it before shedding its blood for atonement. (Leviticus 1:1-9, 16:21)The `laying on hands` for the transference of sins and then shedding of blood for the atonement of sins, was an everlasting statute from God which Jesus Himself fulfilled when He was baptized by John to take on the sin of the world and when He died on the cross. (Matthew 3:13-17)Now, anyone who believes and confesses their faith in Jesus who came by water, blood andthe Spirit receives the remission of all their sins and the free gift of the Holy Spirit from God.The message in this book proved that the gospel of the water and the Spirit is not a "new"gospel. It is, in fact the primitive gospel that was prophesied throughout the Old Testament, beginning from Genesis where God clothed Adam and Eve with tunics of skin after they had fallen into sin, to the sacrificial system which points out every minute detail needed forthe atonement for sins, right up to the book of Malachi where the Word speaks of John theBaptist who would come in the Spirit of Elijah to prepare the way before the Lord.There truly is, and has only ever been one gospel for salvation, just as it says in Ephesianschapter 4 verse 5, that there is, "One Lord, one faith, one baptism."The first two chapters of the book speak about the true sinful nature of human beings ina way that is not expressed in mainstream Christianity nor society.We tend to think of ourselves as decent human beings and our opinion of ourselves gets evengreater when we compare ourselves to others whos wrong deeds have been exposed.In our own minds we will always justify ourselves. But what is important, is what God says about us, about what is deep in our hearts where no-one else can see but God. (Mark 7:21-23)God is the only true judge of good and evil and this book has shown me that human beingsare evil and God alone is good. In Mark chapter 7 verses 21-23, Jesus tells us about the evils within mankind, making it clear as crystal that `goodness` was not a virtue that human beings inherited. We inherited sin from the first man Adam, and death, which came through sin is what awaits all of us. (Romans 5:12, 6:23)However Jesus came to this world in the flesh of man and through faith in Him and the righteousness that He fulfilled at His baptism, we can now escape from our certain condemnation in Hell and be born again as God`s sinless children which is Gods will for all of us.The message in this book ought to be treasured by all who read it, because by reading it,you will get to hear the perfect will of God for your lives in this world and for your souls thereafter.By giving the correct confession of sin and faith, you will have the assurance that you are known and loved by God, who has fulfilled the Gospel of the water and the Spirit perfectlyand delivered it through the message in this book just for you!

    The Love of God Revealed through Jesus, The Only Begotten Son (I)

    In this book, I learned about God`s love as revealed through His only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.God loved us so much that He sent His Son into this world for us. Jesus Christ came to this world in the flesh of man and made us sinless by the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Thus, He has made us into His own people. Our Lord has given us the gospel of great blessings. Our lord Become Immanuel to us. “Immanuel” means “God with us,” and the name “Jesus” means “He who will save His people from their sins”. John 3:16 says about Immanuel Jesus the following: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Because God so loved us, He took the flesh of man and came into this world to meet with us. When we believe in Jesus who came into this world by water, blood and spirit, we are born again.There are many so-called pastors in this world who teach their congregations many false ways of being born again: they say when one lives his life in holiness, fasts, prays for repentance every day, he will be being born again someday. Also, if one gives a lot of donations, he will receive many physical blessings as well as the blessing of being born again. They misinterpret the following passage according to their personal views: “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes.” They say that no one knows the exact time of being born again, not even they themselves know when one is born again.But we must born again of God. We have to be like that, “who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”How then can we be born of God? We are born again when we have the following faith: "O God, I am a sinner who was born into this world with 12 kinds of sins. I was destined to burn in the fire of hell. But you loved me and sent your only son into this world. He was born of the Virgin Mary. He took all my past, present and future sins upon himself by being baptized by John the Baptist. He was taken these sins to the cross and He shed His blood to pay the price for all my sins. Now I am sinless. I am a righteous son of God. The Holy Spirit dwells within me. Hallelujah!”We must believe in Jesus who came by water, blood and The Holy Spirit. To believe in Jesus is equivalent to believing in God the Father. Believing in Jesus as one’s true Savior is only possible when one believes in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, which is the Truth that delivers us from all our sins. Believing in Jesus is the way to the remission of sin and to eternal life.When we believe in Jesus without any doubt, miracles happen in our lives. And we are filled with physical and spiritual blessings as well as eternal joys. Just as happened at the wedding at Cana of Galilee.Jesus cares about all the problems in our lives. As, He turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana of Galilee.All we need to do is submit to His commandments and follow Him. Just as the servants obeyed Him without any doubt and carried the water and presented it to master of the feast which had turned into a fine wine.Those who have invited Jesus in their lives are the ones who have accepted Jesus and believe in Him. These people have happiness like guests at a wedding banquet. Our Lord has indeed blotted out all our sins completely. “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up” (John 3:14). Believing in Jesus’ baptism and His death on the Cross, is the very salvation and the only way of being born again. This is the Truth of being born again of water and the Spirit, which our Lord has told Nicodemus (John 3:5).Jesus is speaking clearly to Nicodemus, “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” As Jesus said this, Nicodemus asked in return, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Again, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” When Jesus was about to be baptized by John the Baptist, Jesus said to John, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15). Here the phrase “thus” means: 1 proper; 2 appropriate; and 3 no other way but this. The baptism Jesus received from John was in the form of “laying on of hands.” As you may know, the laying of hands on the head of the scapegoat by the High Priest was to pass over the sins of the Israelites all at once to the sacrifice. Therefore, when the hands of John, the representative of all mankind, were laid on the head of Jesus, the sins of the world were transferred onto the body of Jesus once and for all. So, the next day of Jesus’ baptism, John the Baptist cried out seeing Jesus coming toward him, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”God the Father sent His Son as the Savior of mankind, and He had His Son accept our sins through John the Baptist. And since the wages of sin is death. He shed His precious blood on the cross for our sins. This is very being born that our Lord wanted to teach Nicodemus.Now that we have been born again, the only purpose of our lives is to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit. We are so blessed that God loves us and has entrusted us with His precious work. We have to be faithful to these works.I thank God that He loved me so much that He gave me His only son. And He deemed me worthy to do the His work.Moon Sahotra, Pakistan

    SALVATION FULFILLED ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL

    REVIEW ON EBOOK68 IF YOU HAVE CONFUSION AND EMPTINESS IN YOUR HEART SEEK THE LIGHT OF TRUTH PART 2WRITTEN BY REV. PAUL C JONG LESSON ON SERMON 4SALVATION FULFILLED ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL For every humanbeing born in this world, it is imperative for him or her to come to the recognition of oneself as being nothing but a pile of sin in order to accept the already fulfilled will of God in ones lifetime which is the very salvation for sinners.The Salvation for sinners born in this world has been fulfilled only according to the will of God the Father. How is it so you may ask? All mankind is mandated to know that,  God the Father made us born as the descendants of Adam, that means we are born with sin intact in our hearts and are destined for Hell, just has it is known that as the forefather of mankind sinned all mankind became with imputed in them and are depraved thereby need to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. However, long before we were born on this earth as Adam’s descendants, God planned to raise up His Son Jesus as the everlasting Priest who came to this earth according to the order of Melchizedek in the Old Testament and make Him the savior of all those who believes in the baptism that He received from John the Baptist to take upon Himself all the sins of the world, and in His blood shed on the cross where He paid all the wages of sins and by His resurrection through which He has blessed each one of us who believes with a newness of life, that is a life without sin for once sand for all. This must be well understood by all mankind born in this world that, God the Father established His just sacrificial system for us, whereby the sins of mankind would be passed on to the body of His Son, Jesus Christ, for Him to be condemned for these sins. The sacrificial system of the laying of hands onto the unblemished Lamb of God Jesus Christ by the ordained high priest John the Baptist on His baptism. This sacrificial system of laying on of hands made it possible for Jesus Christ to take upon take upon the sins of mankind and blotted out this sins once and for all by being baptized by John and, by shedding His precious blood on the cross, and God the Father resurrected Him from the death on the third day in order to give a blameless and sinless life to those who believes. This is the Truth of salvation that the Triune God planned even before we were born in this world. This is how the believers of this truth even, the gospel of the water and the Spirit(John 3vs5) are Sinless and righteous now without fail. God the Father has given this Truth of salvation only to us the believers for having such  innocent hearts like little children, and has thus delivered us from the power of darkness and has now placed us in His Kingdom. Therefore, only if you come to believe in this truth of salvation of the water and the Spirit by humbly your hearts like little children then can you be saved from your sins and have the privileged to enter into His Kingdom. Furthermore, unless you forsake all the former teachings of your churches whether they are catholic teachings or Pentecostal teachings, these must be forsaken with immediately effect, for they carry not the truth of salvation which constitutes Jesus’s, baptism received from John Baptist, His death of the cross and His resurrection(1John5vs6) that Jesus Christ Himself has brought before all mankind. But instead these Catholics and Pentecostal denominations only preach about the blood of the cross of Jesus Christ alone to which even after you believed in it, you still have sin remain intact in your hearts, this itself shows that you do not believe in Jesus correctly for you only believe in the half gospel and not the complete gospel truth of salvation. That is the gospel of the water and the Spirit. So once you let go of your former false teachings which are given by your former false prophets, leaders and teachers, and humble your heart before the true gospel truth of the water  and  the  Spirit just like little children, then can you come to be saved from your sins and call out to the name of the Lord as your Lord and Savior(Mathews 1vs21).  The Lord confirmed, that His salvation fulfilled according to His will can only be given to a hearts  that is innocent as little children and it is such people who have labored much by their sins and God is calling to such souls so that He may give rest and peace to these souls through the gospel of the water and the Spirit for once and for all and receive the newness of life that will surely permit them to enter Heaven. Let us turn < Matthew 11:25-30 >“At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””Hallelujah!!Nevertheless, I urge you to forsake your current wrong faith which has never been able to wash you from your sins, and all the wrong teachings you received from your false Pastors and leaders who cannot even manage to remove even a slightest sin from your hearts as they do not know the gospel of the water and the Spirit which constitutes Jesus’s baptism received from John the Baptist to carry upon all the sins of the world and His blood shed of the cross where paid the wages of sins and by His resurrection to give us the newness of life. Come you reason with the Lord in truth and in Spirit by visiting our website www.bjnewlife.org and download yourself free Christian eBooks and audiobooks to receive the remission of your sins now! And become children of God without Sin and enjoy everlasting life.Hallelujah!!

    HOW HAS JESUS, THE SON OF GOD, SAVED US FROM THE SINS OF THIS WORLD?

    Review on ebook68 IF YOU HAVE CONFUSION AND EMPTINESS IN YOUR HEART SEEK THE LIGHT OF TRUTH PART TWO.WRITTEN BY REV. PAUL C. JONG HOW HAS JESUS, THE SON OF GOD,  SAVED US FROM THE SINS OF THIS WORLD? To answer the sermon question above, firstly one must examine his heart  based on the written word of God in( Romans 3vs20). It reads “For no one is put right in God`s sight by doing what the Law requires; what the Law does is to make us know that we have sinned.” Hallelujah!!It is definitely that when we examine our hearts genuinely through Romans 3vs20 we come to realize that each one of us, are incapable of living nor standing before the commencement of God without been shameful  and guilty. For no man can live by it. Thus by the Law of God is the knowledge of sin. Therefore all mankind must come to the knowledge of its sins and admit it before God genuinely, then can one come to know how Jesus, the Son of God has saved all mankind from the sin of this world. Now let us get into the answer of the sermon question above;HOW HAS JESUS, THE SON OF GOD, SAVED US FROM THE SIN OF THIS WORLD?ANSWER: As the old testament is the shadow of the real thing to come(Hebrews10vs1). Therefore for us to understand how Jesus Christ has saved us from the sin of this world, it is imperative for each one of us to first understand the Old Testament’s atonement of sin, how God used to forgive the people of Israel from there sins, which is the shadow that will lead us to understand how Jesus who is the reality in the New Testament of that very shadow of the Old Testament has saved us from the sin of this world. So During the age of the Old Testament, God ordained Aaron as the high Priest to stand as the representative of the people of Israel and administer the duty of his priesthood to offer sin sacrifice during the day of atonement on the 10th of the 7th month every year. Where Aaron the High Priest had to pass his people’s sins to the sacrificial animal by laying his hands on its head to transfer all the sins of the people of Israel without fail, and then draw its blood of life and sprinkle it on the mercy seat. Therefore, for the sacrificial animal in order for it to atone for the people of Israel, Aaron must first transfer the sins of his people by the method of laying hands on the head of the sacrificial animal. Thus without Aaron the High Priest laying his hands onto the sacrificial animal, it was impossible for the sacrificial animal to atone for sins of the people of Israel. Hence, it is so indispensable to know that, the Sacrificial animal was only able to atone for the sins of the Israelites only after accepting their sins by the Laying on of hands on its head by the High priest. In other words, every sacrifice of the Day of Atonement to be able to atone for the people’s sins it required the High Priest to first pass all the Israelites’ sins to the sacrificial animal by laying his hands on its head. And according to this method, God wanted Jesus to accept the sins of mankind once and for all by being baptized by John and wash away the sins of mankind with His blood in the age of the New Testament. Because God the Father loves us His creature so much, He planned to save us from our sins before the foundation of the world, just as it is stated in John3vs16. Thus God the Father decided to make His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to take upon the sins of the world by being baptized by John the Baptist the last high priest on earth and the representative of all mankind, one who is the greatest man of all born of women. Thus Jesus Christ was crucified and shed His blood to death on an accursed wooden cross, after He had received His baptism from John the Baptist to shoulder our sins upon His own body, God the Father let Him to be crucified and shed His blood to death to pay the wages of sins, resurrected Him from the dead, and thereby made Him the true Savior for those of us who now believe. Thus Jesus was crucified and shed His blood on the Cross because He had shouldered the sins of this  world by being baptized by John. Therefore, for you and I to understand how Jesus, the Son of God, has saved us from the Sins of this world We must know and believe that the Lord has become the Savior of mankind by bearing the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist when He came to this world and shedding His blood on the Cross. With the baptism He received from John, Jesus Christ has washed away our sins once and for all, and by bearing even the punishment of death for our sins on the Cross, He has become our Savior. As Jesus Christ rose from the dead has thus made it possible for mankind to be born again from the sins of the this world.For the fact that the Law is the shadow of Jesus Christ who is the reality in the New Testament, God the Father has demonstrated it for us through genesis14vs18 where He permitted  Melchizedek the Priest to appear to Abraham and blessed Him with bread and wine in the Old Testament, this was the shadow pointing out to the reality who is Jesus Christ Himself the only Begotten Son of God who would to come in the New Testament. Thus God the Father made Jesus Christ His Son to shoulder the sins of this present world through His baptism He received from John the Baptist and died on the cross to pay the wages of sins and rose from the dead again to give the newness of life to those who believes in these righteous works of Him and has thereby become our propitiation. Thus Jesus, the Son of God, has said to all mankind, “For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.”(John6vs55-57)! Hallelujah!! God bless His Word. Therefore, anyone can be saved from the sin of this world, by eating the Flesh of Jesus Christ which is His baptism received from John the Baptist where He took away all the sins of the world, and by drinking His blood, which is, His death on the cross where He shed His blood to pay the wages of all mankind’s sins for once and for all. Thus the Lord has saved us from the sins of this world once and for all by receiving His baptism from John, being crucified and shedding His blood as our propitiation, and rising from the dead again. We must receive everlasting life by believing in all these facts, and thus eating the flesh of Jesus and drinking His blood and thereby receiving  the remission of sin once and for all by accepting Jesus’s flesh(His baptism from John) and His blood(His death on the cross where He paid the wages of all mankind’s sins,) and was able to be resurrected from death and has thus become the eternal propitiation for all mankind as confirmed in < Romans 3:25-31 > “Whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.”Hallelujah…!!!I call you out to come to reason with the Lord, by visiting our website www.bjnewlife.org and download yourself free Christian ebooks and audiobooks which will enable you to receive the remission of your sins now and receive salvation by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit alone(John3vs5).

    My review of Sermon 6 “Let’s Not Become the Descendants of Cain”

    My review of Sermon 6 “Let’s Not Become the Descendants of Cain” of book 52 (The Difference between Abel’s Faith and Cain’s Faith)   It is written in the Bible that Cain left the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod. Why would Cain leave God, who reigns over life and death? Even though God was making all effort to make him believe that He is the God who saves every sinner and to thus save him, he still left God. I pondered on why Cain left God so easily and recklessly. When Cain killed his brother Abel, he thought that no one could know and find out. People like Cain are the same people like Judas Iscariot. Judas Iscariot never believed in Jesus Christ as the Almighty God, that was the reason he collected thirty pieces of silver before the Last Supper (Matthew 26:15) and still refused to admit he would be the one to betray the Lord during the Last Supper (Matthew 26:17-25). In this way, even though God questioned Cain about the whereabouts of his brother Abel, he still denied knowing about him asking whether he was his brother’s keeper. People like these think nothing of God. They think of God as big elephant, perhaps big tree or some inanimate objects. They never believe that God is the only omnipotent and omniscient God, who exists by Himself and lives forever. These kinds of people have many gods in their hearts. Cain left God because he did not believe in Him. Cain leaving the presence of God means that he left God’s church. As a result, he became a wanderer, moving from one place to another not setting his heart on one place. He lost the peace of the Lord God, Cain became a fugitive and lived in fear. When people passed by, he hid himself in fear thinking, “Are they coming to kill me?” This is what inevitably happen to those who leave God. The biggest mistake he made was leaving God’s presence because he did not believe in Him. There are times even the people of God are on the run, but because they believe in God they do not run away from God but from men, so God always protects and helps them. We see when Jacob ran away from his brother Esau, because Jacob believe in God, He protected and helped him throughout the period. Who will then protect and help us when we leave God’s presence? We should never leave God’s church, no matter what. Looking at Cain and his descendants, we should never take the gospel of the water and the Spirit for granted nor think little of God’s church, even though we are insufficient and make countless mistakes, we should never leave God because He is the only self-existing Almighty God. Because there is no life outside God’s church, I will follow His church wherever God leads His church. I believe this is what pleases God. God told the Shulamite woman many times to return to His church, because He loves her (Song of Songs 6:13). This means that God hates it when we leave Him and try to live with the strength of our flesh. For those who leave God, God follows them around cursing them every step of their way, hoping they will turn around and return to Him. It doesn’t just end with them, God will curse their children and children’s children. There is no one who leaves God and still have peace and joy in his heart.When Cain became too downtrodden for killing his brother Abel, God set a mark of salvation on him so that no one should find and kill him. By setting mark of salvation on him, God was telling Cain “Even though you are evil and a murderer, I am the God of salvation. Believe in Me, and receive My salvation into your heart. You will receive protection and all blessings if you abide in Me. But you will face destruction and receive curses if you don’t believe in Me and leave My presence.” However, Cain did not believe in God till the end, he left Him instead and faced destruction. Even now God is telling everyone to receive their salvation by believing in the baptism that Jesus Christ His Son received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross. But just how many people have left God and  are now living outside His church? Cain left God, and built a city of his own and protected it with walls. He was the first person to build wall to protect himself. Adam and Eve lived under the protection of God, they never had to build a castle for protection against enemy`s attack. Cain was the first to build castle to protect himself, because he lived in fear all the days of his life. Fearing men, animals and even birds! I know that Cain would fear everything because he lived outside the protection of God. If we leave God, our souls will be bound by darkness again and we will wander to and fro and face death in the end. Even to this day, the descendants of Cain never settle down in one place and one thing, and live struggling with their own strength and die in vain. These kind of people depend on their physical strength and never trust in God, but when they run out of their physical strength they die. When a mouse falls into a bucket of water, it struggles to get out of the bucket. Swimming from one side to another, climbing up and down. In the end it runs out of strength, drinks lots of water and gets drowned. Those who leave God’s presence will struggle all alone and die in the end. But we will live the brightest life in both body and spirit if we believe in God and follow Him because God is the source of everything. Cain built a castle to protect himself on his own. When people leave God, they eventually build their castles. They build castles in many ways; they make friends with the worldly people and surround themselves with them and try to gain riches of the world, they try to build good relationship with worldly people and work hard to maintain it and have a happy family, they make up their religion and want to do everything on their own way. We are building our own castle if do not follow the teachings and instructions of God’s church. Those who say “Even though God’s church believe in this way, I do not believe in such way. Even though God’s church is doing the work in this way, I will do the work on the way that suits my own thoughts” are building their own castle, it means that our self-righteousness can be our castle. Those who build their own castle reign over their own lives, they are kings of themselves.But such castles will crumble in a single stroke.  The descendants of Cain were Jabal, Jubal and Tubal-Cain. Jabal was a man of tents and livestock, Jubal was a man of flute and harps and Tubal-Cain was an instructor in every craftsman in bronze and iron (Genesis 4:20-22). By examining the life of these three descendants of Cain, we can see what all the descendants of Cain do all their lives on this earth.  The first thing those who leave the presence of God do is to work hard with their physical strength to take care of food, shelter and clothing, and that is what Jabal did. After they have taken care of their basic need of food, shelter and clothing they go for pleasure of this world. Jubal was a man of flute and harps, it means that he lived enjoying the pleasures of this world. When those who leave God’s church have taken care of their basic need of food, shelter and clothing they definitely go for pleasure and when they have it they seek for a way to protect their wealth and loved ones. It is written that Tubal-Cain was an instructor in every craftsman in bronze and iron. Put it differently, he was a man of war. This is how human civilization has come to exist. Even in this world today, when a country becomes prosperous they next step they take is to protect their territory and people, they invest heavily in military arms and ammunition. This how human beings will destroy themselves in the future. However, God has warned us that He will curse those who follow the path of Cain, He will pass down their curses generation after generation. The curse of God will follow those who leave His church and build their castle.  Those who do not believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit are building their own castle with their own thoughts of their flesh. But what await them are God’s curses and eternal punishment in hell. Sinners said they have received the remission of their sins through the precious blood of Jesus Christ alone.   Strictly speaking, this is just their own castle. It is written in the Bible that Jesus Christ came with both the water, the blood and the Holy Spirit to save us from our sins (1 John 5:6). When He was baptized at the Jordan River our sins were passed onto His head, He was crucified to receive the wages of our sins shedding His blood on the Cross, He rose again from the dead after three days. He has saved us from the sins of the world. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and God Himself, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of Virgin Mary and put on human flesh to save His people. Believing in anything outside this Truth is also building our own castle. Unlike Cain and his descendants, the spiritual descendants of Abel believe in the Word of God as it is and offer the right faith to God and abide in His church. People like Abel know their weaknesses and therefore trust in God, they do not have anything to depend on but God. They simply know that they cannot survive without the help of God so they never leave God’s church. Let’s have the faith of Abel by believing in the God-given gospel of the water and the Spirit and dwell in His church so that we may not receive the curses that follow Cain and his descendants.
