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

9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. We are God's building. His Temple. This verse speaks of each and every believer individually. 10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. Our foundation is laid, Jesus Christ. This is confirmed in verse 11 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." What makes up the rest of the believer is based upon the doctrine that a " master builder" like Paul or another used in building them. So if we have a ministry, (are a builder by the Grace of God like paul) which duty is the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: We need take heed how we buildeth thereupon. In other words we need to be sure what we are teaching or showing is truth and of God. If we build a house out of shady material it will not hold up will it. Same applies to the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. False doctrine will only destroy those who are built with it. Let's classify the doctrinal building material. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; The Foundation is Jesus Christ. The doctrinal building material that a professing Christian is made of is classified above as either gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. Upon the Judgment Day everyman's work, "converts" those under their ministry shall be manifested. A professing Christian is what they believe. If they are built with Gold or silver they will be refined. If they are built with wood, hay, or stubble they will be burned up, because that is what happens to it when fire is introduced to it. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Some might take the latter part of verse fifth-teen to say that even though the minister was a heretic in spreading false doctrine and because of their ministry people were lead astray and were burned up at Judgement that they themselves are saved. That is not what the verse is saying at all. Otherwise the admonition to take heed would be for naught. Usually what ends up happening when building is various tradesmen come to do the various aspects of building, Brick layers, Carpenters, Roofers...ect; ect. So is it with the making of a Christian. "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; So just as if a tradesman might not be very apt at his trade and use faulty material or poor craftmanship so is it with ministers with false doctrine or poor example as to how a Christian is to act. If we find that one of these is our ministry than we need to take heed as verse 10 admonishes. Because if we use inadequate material or lead by poor example and cause a child of God to be defiled by it. Or we ourselves are defiled by the inadaquate material. We will be destoyed also. 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Faith, the unmoving solid foundation. As Jesus said, Faith can move mountains, though faith we do greater things than He. Not that wishy washy faith we are so use to seeing, but the Faith of Christ, that solid foundation. For the wise man, will build his house upon the Rock: and that Rock is Christ. Then when the raining of worldliness descend, and the flooding of their ways come, and the winds of lasciviousness and the deceptive fleeting pleasure of sin blow, and beat upon the House; and it will not Fall: for it is founded and built upon the Rock and that Rock is Yeshua, Jesus, the Christ. Matt 7:24,25; Cor 10:4
