The
image shows Jesus Christ serving as the divine High Priest in heaven
who makes atonement for sin on the earth.
Today,
reply is on the recovery of mankind from sin, and mankind’s
transformation by divine fullness requiring the appearance of
divinity in the earth using human flesh and life process as Jesus
Christ. The process and substance of divinity appearing to mankind
on the earth is one to establish unchanging divine order, permanence,
and the eternal nature of consecrated truth. Only those who are
called, who willingly respond, and who voluntarily endure will
apprehend the high prize of GOD. Through the operations of divine
judgment, and fulfillment of the
second death, mankind is to
be sealed as immortal and incorruptible. It is written: Hebrews 10:
26-29, King James Version (KJV): 26 For if we sin wilfully after
that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no
more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of
judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’
law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much
sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath
trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the
covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done
despite unto the Spirit of grace? The fighter in the “Yahoo!

Christians,
why do we need to believe in Jesus to be saved?
According
to the latter half of the old testament, God was already opened to
forgiveness through repentance over sacrifice, centuries before
Jesus. And according to the books of maccabees, it was already a
strongly held belief that God would send the righteous to heaven
though faith. In the second book of maccabees, a Jewish family
consisting of a mother and her seven sons, were all tortured one by
one for not giving up their faith, but they already believed that
staying strong would land then a place in heaven.
So
why is Jesus necessary for salvation?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss
for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the
excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have
suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I
may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own
righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the
faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I
may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship
of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any
means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as
though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I
follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am
apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3: 7-14, KJV)

Sins (04/01/2020); “Because You Are Believers” (03/17/2020);

“πΈπππΆ
α(
α )α”, more than salvation must come into view. Mature
Christian believers acknowledge that mankind became subject to death
and other unwanted conditions through the transgression of divine
law, and may only be corrected and restored through multiple
operations of divine fullness (we also say, divinity; the Godhead;
the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit). GOD appears among created
beings and living creatures within consciousness and self-will
(willpower) as active presence, and uses multiple devices and
sacred operations to become knowable, known, accessible, and
approachable. Included have been sacred law, expiation for sin,
family and inheritance, covenant relationships, Incarnation (using
human flesh and life process to appear on the earth), priesthood on
the earth modeled after that in heaven, promise, prophecy,
reconciliation, revelation, judgment, and resurrection of the dead.
It
is the expression of divine prerogative, consecrated personhood,
eternal purpose, and the sovereign will of GOD that mankind will
exist as a companion to immortal, incorruptible, invisible divinity.
Sin has not been eliminated by the crucifixion and resurrection of
Jesus Christ. Even so, through the priesthood of Jesus, the living
now may be transformed by receiving a fresh endowment of the life
essence (breath; spirit; word) that was imparted to Adam at
Creation. Men are to undergo the death and burial of their inborn
spirit; and become “born again” as the offspring and children of
GOD having divine DNA, so to speak. Inseparable aspects of the
divine makeup are imparted such as balance, faith, holiness,
longsuffering, lovingkindness, wisdom, and wrath against sin. All
are to “grow up again” on the earth, and become mature/ripe for
harvest by the Lord at his appearing (the Advent; the harvest; the
Rapture; the Second Coming.)
As
vessels of divine seed, sinners who turn to Christ increasingly are
to display the image of GOD, and are to resemble, reflect and reveal
the character and likeness of Jesus Christ. Such finite human tools
as academic instruction, secular knowledge, carnal reason,
science, and self-will can not bring about the salvation of mankind.
As developing believers, joint-heirs with Christ, and the new
creation, those who are “born again” display new lifestyles
and daily routines that include discovery, gradual growth, performing
sacred practices (e.g., praise, prayer; worship), study of the holy
writings, unselfish service, and suffering. Consider again the
following that uses language from the Bible, and a selection from the
music ministry of Steve Amerson:
(1.)
Jeremiah 31: 31-33, King James Version (KJV): 31 Behold, the days
come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house
of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the
covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them
by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant
they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their
inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
(2.)
Romans 6: 3-4, KJV: 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were
baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore
we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ
was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we
also should walk in newness of life.
(3.)
Hebrews 9: 11-15, KJV: 11 But Christ being come an high priest of
good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not
made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 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.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal
Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience
from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is
the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the
redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,
they which are called might receive the promise of eternal
inheritance.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlYp5ek4I4E.)
Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
