You and I have a human nature that is not the nature GOD created us with. Our natures have been infected by sin and we all are by this infection evil just as our father the Devil. If GOD calls and chooses us “out of this world” we begin to partake of HIS divine nature. 2 Peter 1:4 When converted with a portion of GODS spirit we become a new creation in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17
Jesus Christ was indeed a human being exactly like all humans physically but spiritually Jesus was totally filled with his GODS spirit unlike the elect who only have a portion. Jesus did not have this evil human nature in him. The scriptures say, “In him was no sin.” 1 John 3:5 This is the reason for the virgin birth.
Jesus said he was not of this creation. John 8:23 Our human spirit is the real us, our body is only the shell containing our spirit. The same was true of Jesus. What made Jesus different from us is that his FATHER was GOD ALMIGHTY. The virgin birth completely removed Jesus from any possibility of sin. The human spirit of Jesus was created by GOD just as all human spirits are but the spirit of Jesus was created by GOD righteous. Isaiah 53:11 1 John 2:1 Acts 3:14 Acts 22:14 1 Peter 3:18
Jesus Christ was just as righteous as his GOD and filled with agape (GODS love). Jesus was incapable of sin because he had the fullness of the divine nature, filled with all the fullness of GOD. Colossians 1:15 Hebrews 1:3 2 Corinthians 4:4
Jesus was a mortal human being who GOD created as the first new man, the second Adam. When GOD created Adam HE did not create Adam good or evil. The two trees in the garden were a choice; everlasting life or everlasting death, love and obey GOD or obey Satan. Adam chose wrong and now we all must live with that choice and die because of it. Jesus Christ, in order to be the fulfillment of the Passover lamb, had to be pure and undefiled, not just free of sin but incapable of sin.
No human being, even GODS elect saints, have yet attained to the level of Christ. We, the elect saints, are being transformed into the image of Christ who was the image of GOD. The completion of this transformation happens when we are changed from flesh to spirit, from human being to spirit being at the return of Jesus . Christ as a human being, was absolute perfection in the flesh, holy, righteous and agape. Jesus was the beginning of a new creation, a Genesis 2 so to speak, and we are part of that new creation if we are in Christ.
Today all of false Christianity is completely ignorant of these things and are under the sway of the wicked one. 1 John 5:19 The elect of GOD have escaped this condemnation, received mercy and forgiveness, been given a portion of the spirit of GOD and an unfading sure hope of immortality and impeccability.
The Pentecost church was not the beginning of Christianity. Jesus is called the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, this shows us that his blood covers people from Adam forward. There were saints existing before Jesus existed and the names of some of them are recorded in the book of Hebrews chapter 11. These people are the root of the olive tree in Romans 11. Do not boast against this root because it supports you. How could this be unless the root was Christian ? Unless the prophets are of the church. Ephesians 2:20 The foundation of any building is what holds up the building.
The new covenant and Pentecost church was the continuation of GODS calling of HIS elect saints. Jesus “came to his own people who rejected him and murdered him”. This was Israel’s last opportunity for salvation in this current age. Not long after Jesus ascended the number of converted Israelites decreased while the number of Gentiles increased. After much persecution and attempts on his life by the Jews the Apostle Paul finally gave up on the Jews and went only to the Gentiles. Acts 18:6
Paul revealed to us that this was a mystery, the calling of the Gentiles, the time of the Gentiles and the veil was spread over Israel and all nations and would not be lifted until they come to Christ. For Israel this will be during the millennium and second resurrection. Therefore the New Testament is nothing more than the continuation of GODS calling of HIS elect into HIS church , first to Israel then to the Gentiles, but those who were first shall be last and those who were last shall be first.
Much confusion exists concerning spiritual knowledge and wisdom in this world because the vast majority of the people yet belong to Satan. Their minds have been seared with a hot iron and are past feeling. Ephesians 4:19 Romans 1:24-28 This is the a repeat of the days of Noah. Matthew 24:37
To read and understand the scriptures you not only must have the spirit of GOD but also be mature enough to rightly divide the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 Paul said these words to Timothy who was an evangelist in the early church. 2 Timothy 4:5 If Paul’s words apply to Timothy would they not apply to all GODS elect ? Especially to babes in Christ, new converts.
GOD gives gifts to HIS saints and one of them is to be enabled to handle the word of GOD with unique skill. These types are guided by the spirit to see the spiritual meaning of even what many consider to be complex verses. They are shown the spiritual compared to the spiritual, to shine the light of Christ on scripture to give the truth contained in scripture. GOD controls this, the person doesn’t and GOD decides what is to be revealed and what is not. GOD controls the times of Revelation and how far the content of it goes. This type of person controls none of what causes understanding. This person shares with his brethren the things they receive from GOD. The official title of this person is prophet or prophetess. Today, and since the death of the Apostle John, all of GODS elect hold this title. All are able to use this gift of prophecy according to the grace given and to the degree or proportion of each one’s faith. Romans 12:6 This gift, as all others, is for the edification of the church. GOD determines the power behind the gift in accordance with how we have individually grown in the faith. No one should become angry, offended or jealous concerning gifts as it isn’t a matter of human ego but on GOD who bestows them.
All of GODS elect from sometime after the death of the Apostle John, I don’t know the exact time, are what I call Cornelius Christians, that is they had the Holy Spirit before they were baptized. With the terrific degree of Satans deception in the world and no true men of GOD to preach the true gospel, no money to operate and thousands of false churches how does a person get out of deception to understand the truth ? GODS spirit is the only way to the truth, so GOD gives HIS spirit first then it is followed by the one and only true baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. No other baptism you may have received in Satans churches is valid, how can it be when your baptized into Satan ? I know many people that don’t understand this saying it’s a personal choice but how is it your choice when it’s a command of Jesus himself ? Acts 2:38 Matthew 24:19 Galatians 3:27 Baptism is mandatory but it must be the true one.
All of GODS elect have been purchased, bought and paid for, by the blood of HIS son and they belong to GOD. Under these circumstances we submit and desire to be GODS property, never quenching or grieving HIS Holy Spirit but yielding our will to HIS will just as Jesus did in his human existence as an example to us.
From the time of righteous Able until the last of GODS elect are called and chosen the total number of them will be 144,000. The innumerable multitude will be included by martyrdom, being killed by the beast during the great tribulation.
The Ten Commandments are what humans need saved from because they are what condemns all people to everlasting death. If it were not for GOD providing two resurrections a thousand years apart, the first for the church only and the second for the rest of humanity, this death sentence by the law would be everlasting. Our first death we die because we are mortal but the second death is the everlasting death and is what Jesus saves us from but each one in his own order. There is more than one day of salvation. Jesus compares salvation into the kingdom of GOD to a woman baking three loaves of bread with leaven until all three were leavened. The leaven symbolizes the Holy Spirit and the three loaves symbolizes the three different times GOD offers salvation; today, the millennium and the second resurrection.
When GODS people have opportunity to fellowship by whatever means afterwards they take the bread and wine as Jesus told us to. 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 The bread is leavened and the wine is real wine not grape juice. The bread and wine symbolizes the body and blood sacrifice of Jesus for us. Jesus assures us that someday he will be with us personally to drink wine with us in the kingdom of his GOD. Matthew 26:29
