Examining the ‘I am’ of God, Jesus Christ who revealed the Father to mankind so that they would believe in him, repent, and find redemption to God the Father through Christ.

I AM, The beginning, there was nothing before God, for God always existed!

Exodus 3:13  And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you

When Moses ask the Lord God who it was that had sent him to the Jews in bondage in Egypt, he was told to say “I AM hath sent me unto you”. Before that phrase he explained to Moses this “I AM that I AM.”  The words here ‘I AM’ is seen as the name used with “Jehovah or Yahweh”, the jews call him Adonai. But the ‘I AM’ used here is hayah, i.e. “ I AM [hayah] that I AM [hayah]. This word tells that who Moses was talking to ‘exists, always existed, and always will exist’. He is not only the One who made the covenant with the Fathers of the Jews now in bondage in Egypt, but he was the ONE who kept the covenant with them. The fact that he was now sending Moses to fulfill his covenant to them illustrated the truth to “I AM that I AM”, the self existent one, the one who always existed, the one who was not created, he was before all things and by him alone all things exist.  He was telling Moses that “I who exist, and created all things, who make covenants, keep covenants, and I control all things”. By Him Kings, nations, and peoples exist, period.

It was also this God who further clarified what he told Moses by saying that “The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you-Ex 3:15″.  They would recognize this statement, for they had cried to this God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to rescue them from their bonds in Egypt. Now he had come in answer to their prayers and the fulfillment of his covenant with Abraham.

Exodus 34:6  And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7  Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

We find, though, in Exodus 34:6 when the “LORD passed by” before Moses and proclaimed “The LORD, The LORD God” that the word LORD is used three times in this verse. It is the word for YHWH, or Yahweh, Jehovah. This is the personal covenant name of the LORD God. It is here we find the attributes that God himself has ascribed to himself, describing who he is!

The LORD, God who is the covenant keeping God and self existent One. The One who was before all things and by him all things exist. Before him all creation will stand one day. This is the One True God who is compassionate, merciful, and gracious. From this cometh grace in the form of our Savior Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach. This God is longsuffering, slow to anger. He is full of goodness, i.e. loving kindness, steadfast love, grace, mercy, and faithfulness. From this word the New Testament relates it as mercy or grace. He is the God of Truth, who is faithful, and not only is he good, but also merciful, and is a keeper of that mercy, again here we translate this as loving kindness, steadfast love, grace, mercy, faithfulness, devotion,   and goodness. It also is the same with this word in the New testament that translates it as mercy.  These are the qualities that our God and Father, described of himself. These are the qualities that our Savior Jesus Christ, who was sent from the Father brought in revelation to the world, revealing the Father.

Nwsltr-09-12-10-Fall, The Harvest of Blessing

“The greatest blessing is the redemption of all men through the atonement provided for us in the coming of the Son of God, Yeshua and his works, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension to the Father. Then finally his coming again to this earth to bring full redemption and glory to those who are his own.”

The summer has faded into fall, of sorts. As I write this the weather warning for our neck of the woods was for a frost that could kill gardens etc. So the one who is observant to these kind of warnings and who has a garden, will thus cover up their produce for the night to ensure a longer growing season.  Even now the temperature is having a hard time reaching 65 degree’s. The sun now has a short time span. We can clearly see the sun moving farther south as its rays tend not to shine through certain windows as it did just a month ago. The daylight is shortening up, the seasons are changing, and now is fall hunting. Fall fishing is also in the works just as those who love the snow are preparing their skis and other equipment for that time of the year.

The long and short of it is this, winter is much to long and summer much too short. That is, in these parts, anyway! But then, the weather doesn’t get as hot here as in other places. This year it reached triple digits for a very short time. Nothing like down south. The economy here for the most part  is growing, howbeit some aspects are definately slowing up! Even so, many new out of staters are seen arriving as they come for jobs!

As we enter September we find ourselves in the fall feasts. This month is Rosh Hashanah, and is connected to the ‘New Year’,  ‘seeking of the LORD’ and to the ‘Torah’. This starts ten days of ‘awe’ where many Jews prepare themselves for the day of repentance and fasting known as Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah is a time of celebration and of seeking the Lord for his blessing and guidance for the coming year. It is a time of reflection back at the previous year, thanking God for his provision. It is a time of enjoying a traditional feast along with ‘apples and honey’, which both represent the goodness, and sweetness of knowing our Savior Jesus Christ and his Father.

Thus Rosh Hashanah leads to the most holy day of the year for observant Jews who fast 26 hours during this time of Yom Kippur seeking God  to put their names in the ‘Book of life’. They still have no atonement for their sins through Yeshua Ha Massiach, but they seek God none the less.  We thank God for the work of the Cross, the blood of Christ, and the Love of God which has made our redemption possible. It is at this time, we seek the Lord for we have found that these feasts actually enhance and bring to the forefront the work of our God and his Christ, our Savior Yeshua.

Galatians 3:22  But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23  But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24  Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25  But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29  And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

For us, Jesus Christ literally became our fulfillment of all we do and are. Yet as followers, we are obedient to the faith and his call. In keeping these feasts, we do so out of love and in respect to the commandment and the early church who kept these also. Nevertheless, these bring a fulfillment in Christ Jesus. Jesus fulfilled the permanent redemption needed for all men and women who seek it on Yom Kippur. Christ already, permanently paid the price. On this day of Yom Kippur, we thank God for this redemption, pray, and seek him that all men, especially the observant Jews, would find Christ Jesus and the atonement he provides.

Towards the end of the month is ‘Feast of Tabernacles’, which in itself is a feast waiting to be fulfilled. In that, the Son of David, Jesus Christ will come and dwell or Tabernacle in Zion during the Millennial Kingdom.

1 Corinthians 3:16  ¶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians 3:17  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1 Corinthians 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own

Today we rejoice in this as “we are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in us.” But this body will be put off, for it must die. Then we shall have a permanent tabernacle, made without hands. So as we rejoice during the ‘Feast of Tabernacles’, it reminds us of what Christ has done for us and in us. Yet he shall bring in a kingdom, a Throne, and will dwell or Tabernacle with us.  This is one prophetic aspect of Tabernacles.

2 Corinthians 5:1  ¶For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2  For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3  If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4  For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Yet it also is a reminder for many Jews and observant believers in Yeshua as well. They build a ‘suka’, a ‘tabernacle’, or ‘booth’ to remind themselves of dwelling in booths when the Lord God brought them out of bondage in Egypt.  Some believers at this time spend the time camping out and rejoicing in the Lord. This time of the Feast of Tabernacles is for rejoicing, giving thanks, and looking to what the Lord is going to do. He will bring in his Kingdom!

Leviticus 23:39  Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40  And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
41  And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42  Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43  That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Now as I write this, let me tell you this is not a theological paper to fully disclose all aspects of these feasts. Neither is it meant to tell anyone to keep these feasts. These feasts are kept in the heart and those who do these, keep them as they are led by the Spirit of God. These are about loving the Lord God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior. It is about seeking and understanding what our God has done to bring redemption to us. The fact that the ‘Feast of Tabernacles’ will be kept in the millennium says volumes to the keeping of it.  For it will be in Zion that the Son of David, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach will be on the throne of David. It will be to his Tabernacle that all men will come to worship the King, the LORD of hosts and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Zechariah 14:16  ¶And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

For our household, the fall feasts celebrate the harvest. Here is both the physical harvest of gardens, fields, and all that it entails in this aspect of sowing seed and reaping the fruits of that labor.  They see God as the true and ultimate source of all blessing and even cursing. That in life, God is in charge. He gives men life to enjoy and also allows us to have fruit from our labors. In this, we can literally live in and enjoy what the Lord has given to us. These feasts look forward to the time when the “New Year”, or Rosh Hashanah celebrated will be the ‘millennial kingdom’ of our King Jesus Christ, Yeshua. It is the start of and not the ending of the life the Lord God has planned for all those who love him.  This also sees to the future when a permanent redemption and atonement is fulfilled when we become like our Lord and live in his presence. This will be the time when the ‘tabernacle of God’ will be with men. In its fulness and with the Son of David, Yeshua Ha Massiach who will rule and reign forever.

This is the time of the feasts, and the prophetic eye that I see these with. They thus are a time not of servitude nor obligation, but of love to obey.  It is an experience of joy and of reflection for what he has done for all of us. It is a time to see ahead with faith and understand no matter what comes, our reward is steadfast and sure, if we do not give up! It is in this that we all must steadfastly and resolutely cling too. For the Kingdom of God we are in and grafted into is one of Power, Redemption, Forgiveness, and most importantly of Love. While many other faiths claim to offer many things, they do not give nor can they give the Father. For only through Jesus Christ can you come to Him.  Faiths today such as Islam live in a conquering and steadfast slaughter of people everywhere to bring in their faith. We live by faith knowing that we are in the “Kingdom of God”, the only True God and Father and Jesus Christ his Son. We do not fear men, kingdoms, nor what is coming, because we know him, in whom is all truth!

1 Corinthians 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
24  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25  For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26  The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27  For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28  And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

As we close down the days of 2010, let us enter into the next one of 2011 with full faith in the Son of God who died for us. It is at this time, this New year, Rosh Hashanah, unlike the secular celebrations of the solar calendar, we look ahead and ask Gods blessings, richness, sweetness, and guidance to us. We do so knowing that God directed us to do so in his Word. It is the same feast our Lord kept, the Apostles kept, and the early church. Yet whether you keep them or not, the truth does not change, Jesus Christ died for all sinners, of whom, Paul said “I am chief”. Well if Paul the Apostle thought of himself as the “chief” of sinners, where do you and I stand?  Truth is, we stand, neath the power of the blood, the cleansing tide of redemption flowing from the Savior upon the cursed tree of calvary. It is this work and this work alone that separates us as people who have true hope and those who only think they have hope!  Our Hope rests in the work of Jesus Christ. It is here that this is indeed the stone the builders rejected.

1 Timothy 1:15  This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

John 1:10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15  ¶John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16  And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17  For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

For us at this time, it is the Fall, a harvest of blessing. To remember, thank God for, all he has done in us and in those of our family and friends and also literally for us. In this we find physical blessings combined with Spiritual blessings.  Yes, it is the time of the fall, winter approaches, but for now at this time, all is put on the back burner. We will seek the Lord, look to him, and find a time appointed in this season to worship him and seek his face. We do this at this time in the fall feasts, but not this time alone, for daily, we seek him. This is just a time appointed in the seasons of God and man to stop what your doing and look to the Redeemer and your God.

What is the price of your redemption? For Christians everywhere the known fact of our redemption is focused on Calvary and the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the gospel. To be redeemed, to have redemption, to be saved from error or evil, that is redemption.

What price? Christ vacarious death on the Cross! Propitation for your sins!

What price? Christ vacarious death on the Cross! Propitation for your sins!

What is the price of your redemption? For Christians everywhere the known fact of our redemption is focused on Calvary and the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the gospel. To be redeemed, to have redemption, to be saved from error or evil, that is redemption. It is an act, whereby, someone or something saves another from certain evil or error.  Thus we have the error of our ways, a phrase, meaning that in our daily walk, that is, our ways, is error! For men and women everywhere, error is there, it is in the form of sin. It is a fact before God although people in the world don’t see it as such. They have no concept of redemption. They are not in bondage, error, or in evil ways, or so they think. It is easy to see a strangler, rapist, murderer, or even Hitler as evil and wicked. But many people do not see themselves as evil or in sin.

It is interesting to note here in Leviticus chapter twenty five the Lord gives the law concerning slaves. In one portion it talks about a ‘stranger or sojourner’ who lives among the children of Israel. In this segment of the chapter it specifically speaks to that ‘stranger’ waxing rich and then if one of the children of Israel becomes poor and ends up selling himself to the ‘stranger’ it gives the redemption for that Israeli. The whole concept here is that the brother [children of Israel] who has had to sell himself as a slave, can be redeemed by his brethren. The redemption price is figured in accordance with the years to Jubilee. Jubilee meaning ‘ram’s horn trumpet’ is sounded in the fiftieth year and is a time of emancipation and restoration. The year of debts cancelled, slaves freed, and everyone redeemed from their bondage. It signifies a refreshing and renewal. It is also a type of the ‘coming of the LORD’ when we all will be permanently redeemed and celebrate our own ‘jubilee’ in the millennium. But in order to be redeemed there is a price to pay!   To be redeemed from the bondage the Israeli must have someone pay, for he cannot pay; that is why he is in bondage as a servant or slave. But the price of his redemption must be paid. That is, until Jubilee. In Jubilee, those of the Children of Israel must be freed, why? Scripture says this “For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.” The children of Israel had a covenant with their God, they were already bought with a price. That price was the covenant and the law, with the sacrifices. The obedience of these people before their God, walking in his ways, thus, they were to be redeemed. The trouble, of course, Israel did not walk in the ways of the LORD. In the end, they were sent into bondage into Babylon for their rebellion.

Leviticus 25:47  And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:
48  After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
49  Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
50  And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
51  If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
52  And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
53  And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
54  And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
55  For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God

Today as believers, we have been bought with a price. Jesus spoke of the ‘kingdom of heaven’ in parables. In Matthew chapter thirteen he likened it to a “merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”

Matthew 13:45  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

The lesson here is not that we have to buy or pay our way into heaven. The lesson is, this ‘kingdom of heaven’ is so valuable, we need to give all we have just to obtain it. It is a lesson in things valuable and in the vanity of the world. It is a trouble today with all that we have as a nation and a people that we fail to see the true worth of what our Lord did for us and of the ‘kingdom of heaven’ as our final place of residence. All to often we are very slovenly and lackadaisical regarding our ‘faith and the kingdom of heaven’. We do not regard the bible nor God as we should. If it is convenient or if I get in trouble, then I will seek him, walk in faith, and keep his Word. We are too busy, too secular, and don’t give ourselves to the LORD as we should on this matter. Again, what is the price of your redemption?

What would you pay for being redeemed? What could you pay? What do you do today as the ‘servant of the LORD’ in obedience and faith? The fact here is, you cannot buy your way in but all faith and discipleship will cost you. Those who tell you redemption is free are hiding the truth! Your Redemption is not free! The things of God are not free! There is a cost, a price, and it had to of been paid!

1 Corinthians 6:9  ¶Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

The Apostle Paul in the above section of scripture reminds the Corinthians that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God!  He goes through a list and then says: “and such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus , and by the Spirit of our God”. You are washed in the blood of the Lamb, set aside through faith by Gods grace, and are now justified in the name of our Lord Jesus and the Spirit of God which dwells in you. This is leading up to the next portion of Scripture where the Apostle lets them know the following:

1 Corinthians 6:17  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

If you are indeed joined to the Lord, you are one in him, one spirit. Therefore the whole point of this is, if you are joined to the Lord, don’t join yourself to a harlot. That is the world, the sins, the flesh, the carnal ways, and faithlessness. He goes on to say ‘flee fornication’. Today we have sin and especially fornication in one form or another everywhere. The world doesn’t see it as sin! God does! Therefore, as with Paul, let us agree that “our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you.” Furthermore, “ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.  The price is paid through Jesus Christ, a promise obtained by the faith of Jesus Christ is given to them that believe. This is redemption, the one sold under sin, the slave master, the task master today, the strong man, is the devil, our arch enemy Satan. He knows those who are in sin must not be redeemed, therefore he opposes any and all efforts to redeem those under his control. But God has ‘concluded all under sin’, but he has also concluded that the ‘price for their redemption from the sin and the taskmaster is the blood of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 3:22  But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Today let us remind ourselves that sin is sin, it is death, it means separation from God. Those in sin are without hope, without God in this world. They are strangers from the ‘covenants of promise’. This covenant of your promise is found in Jesus Christ, the ‘PASSOVER lamb’, the one who was slain from the foundation of the world, the ‘lamb of God’ that took away the sins of the world.  We have been brought nigh by the blood of Christ. Those who once were far off without hope, in servitude to sin and the devil are now through Christ Jesus vacarious death on the cross and his resurrection from the dead ‘sons of God’ if we have faith, repent, and believe.  It is our Lord who broke the middle wall of partition so we could enter into the ‘holies of holies’ unto our God and Father, are redeemed and headed for the ‘Jubilee’ with Christ Jesus in the millennium and beyond.

Ephesians 2:11  ¶Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12  That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14  ¶For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

We therefore observe and experience this promise today being fulfilled in us through Christ and his Spirit as we being redeemed from the power of sin and the corruption that is the world through lust overcome by the ‘blood of the lamb’, ‘the word of our testimony’, and ‘we love not our lives unto death’..

2 Peter 1:4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death

The truth is if we are redeemed, we are really redeemed therefore! As such, the power of sin and lust has no hold over us. It is through Christ, the Holy Spirit, Promises of God, with that divine nature imputed into us, so that we are truly and actually set free!  The world cannot be free like this! They cannot experience the peace, love, and communion with our God and Father through Jesus Christ unless and until they are redeemed!  It is that power Christ gives us as we have received him, believing [trust in, cling too, and believe on] in Christ Jesus and his work on the Cross.

John 1:12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

It is why our Father has commanded all men everywhere to repent! God loves the world, those whom he had made in his image. He has made a way for all men to be saved and delivered from his wrath. He thus commands all to repent. It is not a question, but a command! We talk about commandments. This is also a commandment, so men should follow this simple command to  repent and seek the Lord!

Acts 17:30  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

What is the price of your redemption? God put the price of the ‘death of his only begotten son’ as the only cost to pay for your servitude to sin and corruption!

1 John 4:9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

1 John 5:20  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

What is the price of your redemption? What price do you put on it? Is it worth anything at all to you? What does the thought of the ‘sinless Son of God’, the ‘incarnate God’, ‘God with us’, mean to you? You were an indentured servant and had no way to redeem or release yourself from death and separation from God! There is also no way to repay for your redemption. God doesn’t want nor expect that. He wants your obedience, faith, and love as a ‘son of God’.  If you are truly his ‘son or daughter’, then as such, you should honor your Father.

One day, if you do not quit, you will overcome! You will inherit all things, as our God says of this time: “I will be his God, and he shall be my son” – Rev 21:7.  Of this time it is written as well saying “Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God” – Rev 21:3.  What is your redemption worth, take a close look, pray, ponder it, and thank God for it. Seek Him, for of that time it says: “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” – Rev 21:4.

Thank God, the former things of Sin and Corruption will pass away. As we enter into the ‘trouble coming upon all the world’, which as a snare shall try all men on the earth, let us draw near to God knowing that the day of our Redemption draws closer. That time to be with our God forever! Praise the LORD, Bless his holy name! These things will shortly come to pass!

Revelation 22:6  ¶And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

I finish by praying these found in Revelation, which in prayers, I do pray them before my God!

“Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Excerpts from Rev 4:8, 11

“ Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;  And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”

“Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.”  Excerpts from Rev: 5:9-13

“ Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.” Excerpt from Rev 7:12

Behold our Lord is coming and his reward is with him, to give to every man as his work shall be! Look up, for your Lord cometh, in the clouds, every eye shall behold him! King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Word of God, he comes!

My friends have faith in the Lord, and be found in Him.
