Romans 10. The purpose of the Law is to show us what we are to be like; not make us. The end of the Law for righteousness is exactly the intent of the Author once we are brought to Christ through the Gospel. Here follow along as we look at the context. Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Israel, those who would stand with God were not standing in His power. In and with His heart and mind. They were not contending with Him against the world and all it's ways. They had a zeal, a fervantly emotional ardor intensity of God, But not according to understanding, Not according to the knowledge. The recognition which comes only from receiving the Gospel; having our hearts and minds transformed by His Spirit. A changed heart and mind; repentant, rescued, saved, delivered from the stiff necked hard heartedness that we have acquired through the deceitfulness of sin. The life of the unrepentant. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. The righteousness of God. The straight and narrow path, that comes from the faith due to a changed heart and mind. He has placed His laws in our minds and written them in our hearts. No longer is the ministration to be from the Law written on tables of stone, but from the fleshly tables of the heart. Behold a body has He prepared, Christ, the Temple of God. Now therefore we are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom you also are built together. His Temple, the Body of Christ for an habitation, of God through the Spirit. For it is God that worketh in us both to will and do His good pleasure as Jesus said, “He doeth the work”. (Eph 2:19-22)     For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. No longer an outward observance from tables of stone but an inward one from the fleshly tables of the heart. We are a new creature, the Body of Christ with new hearts and new minds: His. No longer us but Christ. We are dead crucified with Him, nevertheless we live, yet not us but Christ vicariously through us. The life we now live in the flesh we live through the Faith of Christ; for it is His heart and mind that drives us. All things now are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; The changed heart and mind that is available to us through the Gospel of God and His Christ (2 Cor 5:18)   Have Faith!!!! For the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The Word, Christ, the Law, God’s ways, His heart and mind is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that we may do it. That is, the word of faith, which we preach; and that is the Gospel. (Rom 10:1-4,6-8; Deut 30:14)

The purpose of Christ sacrifice was the removal of sin. To make the believer cleansed and thereby enabling them to be sinnless through God's indwelling Spirit. Lets talk about the Atonement , the At one ment. In the Greek it is, καταλλαγή and it means; an adjustment of a difference, restoration. It is from the root word καταλλάσσω, and it is a compound word form καταwhich means down (in place or time) And ἀλλάσσω which means make other than it is, change, alter. Which in it's simplest direct translation means positional change, altered, the differences being placed apart from us; downed. And since we were the one that needed to be different God sent His son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in his flesh. He was manifested to take away our sin and in Him is no sin, Jesus Christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge (cleanse) our conscience (inward man) from dead works (sin) 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. Now this is really interesting. Forgiveness in the Greek is ἄφεσις, and it means freedom. It is from the root word ἀφίημι which means send forth. Gods forgiveness and atonement is a separation from sin; a sending forth; We are separated from it. And this is out of love and His desire to have the most intimate relationship that he can have with us, the at one ment. 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, Stengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man. Christ dwelling in our hearts by faith; that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of God. That is, Christ in us the Hope of Glory. For With men it is and was impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

It is a gift. We are righteous, cleansed, purified now because God has made us so through the blood of Christ inside and out. Done deal, Purified, cleansed , justified, made righteous we are now capable to be anointed by the Oil, His Spirit. A vessel made fit for Holy use to do righteous acts through the prodding and power of His Spirit . 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: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience (who you are) from dead works (sin, acts that cause death) to serve the living God? For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. But we know he was manifested to take away our sins; That the body of sin be destroyed So He said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 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 we were healed. So be healed, labor to there is sweat on our brows, let us strive as if our very existence depended on it. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. We as the Body of Christ, the Temple of God have been made fit for Holy use. To do righteous acts with His Spirit according to His working, which worketh in us mightily. For it is God that worketh in us both to will and do His good pleasure. Through the anointing of His Spirit, He doeth the work. We have been given the capability to be one with the Father and His Christ. Jesus prayed, "As thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." So lets be one with God and go and sin no more, that the world may believe, for he has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness.   However if we spend our whole lives living in sin; sinning, never fully using what has been availed to us then we will get what our fruits entitle. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. 1 Pet 2:24;1 Jo 3:5; Heb 9:13-14; 10:4, 9-10; Jo 17:20-21; Heb 10:26,27; 6:4-6; 10:38-39[/QUOTE]

Jesus said, "Love is the fulfilling of the Law." The law is our love gauge, our life gauge. If our loving does not measure up to this gauge we are missing the mark, thereby causing hurt and dismay. Jesus said, Love God and our fellow man with all our heart, mind and soul. To love in this manner is to know God and our brothers and sisters empathetically. Sin which is based on self serving hinders this. The gift of the Gospel enables us to have our hearts and minds cleansed from the self serving, sinful preservation, of our own lives and feelings. To the preservation of what God wants and the good for others. Jesus said, love one another, as I have loved you. No Greater love have no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. This is the essence of God and knowing Him; selflessness. This is who God is, what love is, and what He has enabled in each and everyone of us through Jesus Christ.

God's Word is alive, However His Laws have a new ministration. They have been placed in the hearts and minds of all who accept this gift of the Gospel, though Jesus Christ. But they are no longer something that we are under, something that we obey, therefore they are not laws per say. We went from having to obey the Law to being the Law through Faith. If our hearts and minds have been changed and we are this new person in Christ, a new creature, the Temple of God. God working in us to both will and do His good pleasure, then it is no matter a matter of obedience but of nature. The new ministration is ministered by the works of the Law through the believer not the words of the Law dictated from stone. Like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also walk in newness of life, we are in Christ, 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; We are alive in his righteousness, living through His Faith, by faith: by whose stripes we were and are healed. For as many as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ, the full armor of God. They have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. We are crucified with Christ: nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us, and gave himself for us. Now there is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism. Fitly framed together, the Holy Temple in the Lord: In whom you also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (Rom 6:1-7; 2Cor 5:17-18;1Pet 2:21; Gal 5:24, 2:20; Eph 4:4,5, 2:21-22)

Remission can mean forgiveness or the reduction of the intensity of something: to reduce in intensity, or reduce the intensity of something. Reduction or disappearance, lessening of something. But it can also mean restore something: to restore something to a previous condition or position. Now if we consider. That remission is ἄφεσις in the Greek and means: Freedom. Release from bondage or imprisonment. To cause to stand away. What we get is a reduction or disappearence in the intensity of something that causes restoration. For Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 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; Jesus Christ, 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 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: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. John 3:3; 2 Cor 5:17-18; 1 Peter 2:24; Romans 8:3-4 The Ministry of Reconciliation. Reconciliation is καταλλαγή in the Greek this word means: an exchange, an adjustment, reconciliation. Hence restoration to the divine favor. Καταλλαγή is from καταλλάσσω. This word means to change mutually, to reconcile. This word is a compound word. One of the words is κατά. Which means down in place or time. And the other is ἀλλάσσω, to change, transform, make different. God has downed the difference. He was manifested to take away our sin. He has set our differences, who we our in his own body, condemning us in His flesh. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Condemned in His flesh. That we being dead to sin should live unto righteousness. For we are dead nevertheless we live yet not us but Christ liveth in us and the life we now live, we live by the faith of the Son of God. Who loved us and gave Himself for us. We are called according to his purpose......Us, for whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Rom 6:6,7; Gal 2:20; Romans 8:28,29 The Son has made us free. So free we are indeed!!!!

The Gospel according to God

Gen 1:26 a and 27 says, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Then came the fall. We had sinned and the wages of sin is death. And that death was and is spiritual and that spiritual death caused and causes the physical death.
But God had a plan. He said, " 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 laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:. A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of your heart. For we are his workmanship, we are created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. . For we are the Temple of the most High God. One body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all. Greater is he that is in us or you than He that is in the world. And that includes you. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace..... His favor and loving kindness we, you are saved; ) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Did you know that you are in the presence of God in Heaven.
A new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. But we cry, but God, He says No. But we cry, But God and He says no. As many as received me , to them give I power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. A son through the son: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God. ...... These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Us. We have been conformed to the image of his Son, not conforming, conformed. That he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Us. 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, not imputing their trespasses unto them; For he hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we you be made the righteousness of God in him.
He was manifested to take away our sins So He came in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: So lets let it be condemned. 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. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
 
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God. We have been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye you also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. We have been made priest over these habitations, His temple our bodies and kings over our Lords creation. For He has made us kings and priests unto God and our Father. To Him be Glory and dominion, vigor great physical or mental strength and energy forever and ever Amen. For it is he that works in us to will and do His good pleasure. It isall about reestablishing us back to what we were to be from the beginning. For in him we live, and move, and have our being; For we are also his offspring. Children of the most High God. But we have been away and have forgotten who we are in Him or maybe we never knew our Father, though he be not far from every one of us. As God said through Paul, "For in him we live, and move, and have our being; , For we are also his offspring. We don't have to look far do we. We just have to seek and we will find Him. Knock and He will open Himself up to us. For it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon us you. He has come. He is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do all that He asks us to do. That is, the word of faith, which we preach. Beloved now we are the sons of God. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. Blameless is am'-emp-tos in the Greek and means irreproachable. Beyond criticism: not incurring any reproach or criticism. Even more so Eph 1:4 says it like this, he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we be holy and without blame before him in love: Without Blame is am'-o-mos in the Greek and it means unblemished. Without spot without sin. Having predestinated us children, His children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted. You have been made accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 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:
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience purge your inner man from dead works, Sin to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament. For what cause? As a vessel in the sanctuary you have been cleansed santified set apart for Holy use. He had Purged your inner man from Sin so that His Spirit can rest upon you to serve the living God?
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. Or better stated no more sin. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. But ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. The son has made us, you free to become servants, slaves of righteousness. How is that I speak of bondage again. The commandments, God’s Love have been placed and written in our Hearts and in our minds. It is who we are now in Christ. Can you act contrary to who you are? No. So Repeat after me as we speak unto God and make our proclamation to the world. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Amen
Deut.32:6 Is not He thy Father that hath bought thee? hath He not made thee, and established thee?
 
 
Have Faith for We are His Family
