The Gospel

Atonement.... thee At one ment, is Katallage in the Greek. And this word means an exchange or an adjustment. Katallage is from the root word katallasso, which is commonly translated reconcile or reconciliation. Katallasso is a compound word, which in it's simplest most direct translation means down the difference. ” and since we were the ones that needed to be different, Romans 8;2 tell us that God sent His son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in his flesh. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 1Cor5:17-19;1Peter2 and 1John 4:17


This is the fulfillment of the prophecy concerning the Messiah as written in Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Are we healed? Have we accepted His condemning our sin in His flesh, His downing the difference.

1John 3 and Hebrews 9 tells us He was manifested to take away our sin. Jesus Christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge (cleansed, purified) our conscience(inward man, who we are) from dead works ( sin, acts that lead to death)to serve the living God. That the righteousness of the law be fulfilled in us by his indwelling spirit for it is God that worketh in us both to will and do his good pleasure. Sanctified, set apart for holy use, the temple of the most high God.

Forgiveness is also an interesting word . In the Greek it is aphesis, which means freedom and this word is from the word aphiemi which means send forth.


So Gods forgiveness and atonement is a separation from sin; a sending forth; a Death to it
Which is out of love and Our Gods desire to have the most intimate relationship that He can have with us, the at one ment. And this my friends is the one and only Gospel. The point of it all the secret of our success. For we through the atonement are members of His body, of his flesh, and of His bones. Which is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the begining of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things through Christ. Of whom the whole family in heaven is named. That he has granted us according to the riches of His glory, Strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man. Christ dwelling in our hearts by faith through His faith ; that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints the love of Christ, which surpasses all knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of God.
　

Lets talk about Confess or confession as in 1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and Romans 10:9, 10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Confess or confession is translated from the Greek word homologeo which is a compound word from homou which means same and logos which means something said including thought, reasoning, motive. Put the 2 together you get homologeo which would mean assent. Assent is defined as a mental concurrence or an agreement. So in other words, to be same minded, same thought, same reasoning and same motive. Now this Kind of sounds like repentance does it not. Do you Know why? Because it is. Our confession is an acknowledgement of our assenting to the Wisdom and Understanding of the Lord. Turning from our old ways. Repenting.
One word for Repent in the Hebrew is nacham and it means , to sigh, i.e. breathe strongly
Another one is nocham and it is from 'nacham' and means ruefulness, A feeling or showing sorrow or pity; mournful A feeling or showing regret which causes a . desistance. A ceasing from an activity.
And then we have shoob which just happens to be the most understood meaning for repentance and this is to turn back. Lets consider one more and that word is from the Greek and it is met-an-o-eh'-o to think differently or afterwards, i.e. reconsider -repent.
So if we put it all together we have Gods Idea of repentance which is A thinking that is different which causes an emotional outcry making you cease from what ever it is God intended you to repent of.

Do you see how closely these words are knitted together. Coincidence? I think not! For our God is very purposeful. .
