Today,
reply is on the visualization presented on the cross by divine
fullness (we also say, divinity; the Godhead; the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit) that uses human flesh and mortality to show the
final destruction of sin within all created beings and living
creatures. Redemption and salvation are not achieved by mankind
through human effort and finite self-will (willpower). Only through
an Incarnation of divinity, a lawful death on the cross, a
resurrection that provides possibilities for a new creation, and a
ceaseless unfolding of permanent covenant may forgiveness and
reconciliation be established as genuine divine process and substance
having power to release mankind from the transformation that resulted
by Adam’s sin. There must be a
divine response to the disruption of the material order that occurred
throughout the universe, and a fresh declaration of sacred law
through exchanges and interactions that may occur only within direct
expressions of the divine accord. It is written: 1st
Peter 3: 18, King James Version (KJV): 18 For Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to
God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: A

If
you want to know what's going to ultimately happen to the unsaved all
you have to do is know how Jesus paid for OUR sins. HOW DID HE PAY?
Did
Jesus suffer never-ending torment on OUR behalf when He 'took our
place' on that cross. Think about it. What did Jesus DO? [People say
it all the time - but few seem to hear it]
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Bless the LORD, O my soul, and
forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who
satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy
youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment
for all that are oppressed. He made known his ways unto Moses, his
acts unto the children of Israel. The LORD is
merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He
will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for
ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us
according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the
earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As
far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his
children, so the LORD pitieth them that
fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are
dust. (Psalms 103: 2-14, KJV)

“canadacraig”,
Jesus Christ is a divine use of human flesh and form on the earth to
complete operations carried out by the priesthood in heaven (e.g.,
atonement, mediation, sacrifice, sanctification). GOD is spirit; and
the properties of spirit include being diffuse and fluid, being
without measurable dimensions (e.g., height, length, weight), and
being without fixed and permanent form that would be detectable using
human senses (hearing, sight, smelling, touch). On the earth, the
Creator has used multiple carnal, material, and social devices to
embody and reveal the character, process and substance of divine
fullness (we say, divinity; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the
Holy Spirit). Thus, there are multiple events recorded in the holy
writings wherein divinity is acknowledged as an unseen, yet, active
presence. GOD has acted to make divinity knowable, known,
accessible, and approachable to mankind by appearing and speaking
using the form of a burning bush, hand-written tables of stone that
manifest the express will of GOD, prophets and other human
spokespersons as well as the Incarnation (i.e., being born from a
woman as Jesus Christ). Rather than “what GOD looks like,”
mankind has been directed to the image of GOD within aspects of
personhood and value that include balance, faith, forbearance,
holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, divine prerogative, eternal
purpose, and sovereign will. The operations of sin oppose the
continued existence of divine law, the Lawgiver, and the platforms
for divine order. Sin promotes nonexistence and a return to the
conditions in place before the founding of heaven and earth. Sin is
no material object put forth by divinity, contains no spirit
substance from the makeup of GOD, and has not been put forth by GOD.
Even so, sin displays direction, effect, and presence; and sin
may dominate awareness and self-will in the living. Ending the
mortality of Jesus Christ on the cross is required to establish his
humanity among mankind as having been authentic. More than this,
Jesus dies on the cross as the embodiment of all sacrifice for sin,
depicts the second death for final destruction of sin, and
completes the revelation of authentic divinity among mankind.
Consider the following that uses language from the Bible, and a
selection from the music ministry of Yolanda Adams:
(1.)
John 9: 1-5, King James Version (KJV): 1 And as Jesus
passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And
his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or
his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath
this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should
be made manifest in him. 4 I must work the works of him that sent
me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As
long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
(2.)
2nd Corinthians 5: 21, KJV: 21 For he hath made him to
be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.
(3.)
Hebrews 7: 24-28, KJV: 24 But this man, because he
continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is
able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,
seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an
high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled,
separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 Who
needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice,
first for his own sins, and then for the people’s:
for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 28 For the law
maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the
oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is
consecrated for evermore.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
