(06/01/2016) The Life Of GOD?

Today, Scripture points are shared on the death of Jesus Christ to reveal the life of GOD.  Because we live within cultures and nations where there is increasing demand for equal access, shared opportunity, and the same privilege granted to all, the Scriptures long have been “open” to everyone in general, yet, only those having spirit content from GOD consistently respond to the sacred guidance and instruction recorded there.  To properly study the holy writings intended for those committed and consecrated as priests and kings is to submit ones own spirit content to operations by divinity that make permanent change to spirit substance within the living.  Given the Bible is a book of prophecy, the Scriptures should serve as comfort, edification, and exhortation, and do not function for its readers like fiction to entertain, secular history, journalism, or other narrative accounts.  With this in view, the Scriptures are more a mirror for self-discovery than a full, official record to document the lives of Jesus, Moses, and the many apostles, Patriarchs, and prophets.  A fighter at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “Malekith” (Level 1 with 3 points, a member since March 12, 2014) posted the following:
 
Isn't STRANGE that a BOOK wrote to tell the STORY of JESUSCHRIST leaves out the 80 PERCENT of his WHOLE LIFE?
 
THE GOLDEN ARROW:  And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:  But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.  (John 20:  30-31, KJV)
 
THE DOUBLE DAGGER:  Access Through The Cross? (05/11/2016); On Transmitting Sacred Truth (05/06/2016); Sin Also Made Incarnate? (04/25/2016); The Forms of Prophecy? (04/26/2016); Without Preaching The Cross? (02/21/2016); From Cover to Cover? (01/04/2016)
 
“Malekith”, the holy writings are not intended as merely an account of his earthly ministry that included miracles and prophetic demonstrations, secular history, or a biography of the man, Jesus of Nazareth.  Eternal purposes of GOD, and the varied relationships among the persons of divinity are revealed (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) as well as communication, exchange and interaction of the Creator and the created through covenants, divine law, promises, and prophecy.  Correctly understood, the Scriptures center upon the death of Jesus on the cross, for it is by this single sacred event that the Creation receives the greatest benefit and provision from GOD.  Included are atonement and propitiation (we say, grace, mercy, unearned favor) as a divine response to sin; the incarnation of sin (i.e., appearing in a form that is carnal, material and social), and its destruction; rebirth for mankind that imparts a fresh endowment of spirit content from the makeup of Deity (we say, the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Prophecy, the Spirit of Truth) along with spiritual gifts (we say, blessings) to enable the continued ministry of Jesus as Risen Lord.  With this in view, the Scriptures are not speaking about Jesus Christ so much as speaking intimately to readers regarding the content of their own commitment, faith, heart, mind, and spirit.  Consider again how these ideas are stated using language from the Bible:
(1.)  2nd Peter 1:  2-4, King James Version (KJV):  2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,  3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:  4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:  that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
(2.)  Colossians 1:  16-20, KJV:  16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:  all things were created by him, and for him:  17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.  18 And he is the head of the body, the church:  who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.  19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;  20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
(3.)  2nd Corinthians 5:  17-21, KJV:  17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:  old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;  19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.  20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us:  we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.  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.
There is far more that could be said, must be carefully examined, and spiritually understood.  (For example, (4.)  Romans 8:  1-5, KJV:  1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.)  Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.  Be it unto you according to your faith.
