And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, and said, "By Myself have I sworn," saith the LORD, "for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of His enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." (Genesis 22:11-18)
What does the scripture state? In that SEED shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. The question is whether or not you have you received the Holy Spirit of JESUS -- the Comforter -- the mighty Counsellor -- the Holy Ghost since you believed? (Acts 2:37-42)
Indeed, God said He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh in the latter days, and they would dream dreams, prophesy, and see visions. For those who are new to the faith, let me tell you that JESUS is the well of living water. Only JESUS is the source. Jesus told them that he who drinks of the water JESUS gives shall never thirst spiritually. Why? Because the Holy Spirit blood flowed in the veins of the man JESUS the Christ. Yes, the life of God's humanity is in the blood.
It was the Lord God Almighty who sacrificed His own body on a Cross at Calvary, purchasing for man the right to INHERIT REDEMPTION. It was because of His sacrificial offering that any and all living persons can now through faith in JESUS' sacrificial death receive freely the gift of the Holy Ghost that was in the man -- JESUS the Christ. This inherited redemption is available to all who accept JESUS as their One and Only Saviour.
Peter, standing with the eleven apostles on the day of Pentecost was specific in his instructions. He did not mince words. In fact, when the apostles were asked what they must do to be saved, Peter told them. He said, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:37-42)
God was in Christ reconciling the World to Himself. God manifest in the flesh. (I Timothy 3:16) God's spiritual humanity, love, mercy, compassion and truth were embodied in the man JESUS the Christ, who was (as the scripture declares) God manifest in the flesh. It was in that body that all the fullness of the Godhead dwelt bodily. Jesus was God with us as a Son. (Matthew 1:21-23) Indeed, we are fallen images of that pure humanity.
JESUS was that pure humanity who saw our plight and our hopelessness and because God is Love, God made a way whereby man could be redeemed. Saved. In order to do this, man’s redemption required the death of a sinless man. (It must be a man for it was by one man’s disobedience that sin entered into man) Therefore, to meet the demands of justice it necessitated another’s death. Look back through the old covenant, for example, and see how many sacrifices were carried out endeavouring to remove the guilt of sin from each and every one. Unfortunately, all such endeavours were fruitless.
Thus, God put Himself in our place fulfilling all the demands of sin by the sacrifice of His own prone to sin and yet sinless body. God’s love and mercy redemptive mission was now accomplished by God Himself at no cost whatsoever to man. This kind of love and mercy is beyond our capacity to pen. Beyond our capacity to understand. Beyond our capacity to express because this kind of love - simply put - emanates from God.
Yes, God is love!
JESUS, being the Son of the Holy Ghost INHERITS all things for He has said that all that My Father has is Mine, and all that is Mine is yours.
The last LIVING WILL or TESTAMENT of JESUS prior to His Crucifixion. How do we know this? Because GOD covenanted with Himself. God did not covenant with either you or I. God covenanted with Himself as a Son and that Covenant is an everlasting Covenant, independent of us.
For salvation is of the LORD. Freely given. He paid the price in full -- once and for all -- for each and every one of us. God paid the price with the blood He shed on the cross. He sanctifies us with His body broken for you and I, if only we would reach out and accept His abundant mercies. His Lordship in our life.
More importantly, what we do have is the Last Living Will or Testament of the man JESUS the Christ who bequeathed all of His rightful inheritance to us. His redeemed people which He purchased to Himself with the shedding of His own blood. This is why God offers all forgiveness if we would recognize His substitution death at Calvary.
He who knew no sin became sin for us.

Now the decision is in your hands. You have reached the crossroads of your walk on earth. It is your decision and your decision alone, God has commanded that all men and women repent. Why? Because redemption has been obtained by God’s Grace and Mercy. You and I now have an opportunity to return to that exact place where Adam made the wrong decision.
Now its your turn. You need to decide whether to continue as you are now in sin, or to call upon the name of the Lord your God -- Jesus the Christ -- thanking Him for His unconditional love toward us. If you decided to accept God’s plan of redemption, enjoy the wonder, love and grace that is Jesus. Enjoy His comfort.
And follow on as the early believers were encouraged to do in Acts chapter 2. That is, repent and be baptized into the name of JESUS the Christ. And then, stand in the offering plate, praising your Lord God and Saviour Jesus the Christ.
He will never fail you. He will never forget you. He will never lead you down the wrong path. But what Jesus can do is give you to drink from the living waters, in which you will never quench again.
Praise the Lord and Master of our souls. Jesus -- the one whom has been declared both Lord and Christ. Worship Him today, and thank Him for His abundance of measure. Blessings!
