"And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days," saith the LORD, "they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD. Neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit [it]; neither shall [that] be done any more." (Jeremiah 3:16)
The ark of the covenant is in no need of man’s defense. The Word of God has been commissioned to us, by our commander in chief to be preached to one and all. Like Jesus, we are to be about our Father's business, making disciples of Jesus. This is our purpose. To provide people from all walks of life with a comprehensive understanding of the scriptures so that these are not misled, and so that others are not able to present alternative viewpoints that are not scripturally accurate. Without a foundation.
We know this from the new Testament, wherein there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female, bond or free. We are all one in Jesus the Christ. How do we know? God in His mercy opened to all men and women, in all generations, a way whereby the downtrodden, the castaway, the wounded, the sick, the diseased, the heart broken, the beaten, the tortured can be made whole again. Renewed. God in His mercy reached out to ALL peoples in whatever state or condition they may be in at this moment.
God who is invisible, manifested Himself in the flesh for you. (I Timothy 3:16) He left His heaven and came to earth purposely to deliver a salvation message directly and personally to you. God is not a statue that cannot move or a carved stone that has no feelings! It may be a work of art, but when one is at the bottom of the pile, the last thing that he or she requires is a statue of stone or a statue on a cross, all of which are totally incapable of doing anything!
The Word of God on the other hand, which indwelt the man Jesus the Christ, said,- "Come to Me all ye who are heavy laden" -- burdened ... all ye who have had enough of the curse of the law of sin and death. "And I WILL GIVE YOU REST."
Now that is an approved message endorsed by God! But getting back to my original point, some say that the Jews are Abraham's seed, and his offspring according to the flesh. They even go so far as to suggest that they are God’s children. But that is not so. All living people are Adam’s offspring, and are cursed -- not blessed. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
But thankfully, the greatest love story does not end there. The Lord Himself decided to come forth as a mighty man so that we could experience His love, and gain everlasting life. Still, there are those who say they are Abraham’s seed and in Abraham's seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed. But let's review this claim in relation to the scriptures - God's Word.
When God spoke to Abraham saying, that in Abraham and in His seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed, God was not speaking of Abraham's natural seed, which was imbued with the curse of sin. God was addressing an implanted seed which was to move along through the generations as shown in previous presentations. Until the seeds of promise were implanted of God into Eve and then into Abraham, those seeds of promise being the seeds of the Holy Spirit of God -- the Holy Ghost blood was in those seeds -- not Adam's cursed blood (i.e Jesus the only Begotten Son of God).
And the angel answered and said unto her, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35)
God Himself manifest in a sin prone body, clothed in flesh taken from a surrogate woman Mary’s sin cursed body. The fetus in that body did not sin. Therefore, you and I can transfer all our sin and sickness to Jesus for He Himself took all your sin and sickness upon Himself. As a consequence, you are now free to become God Blessed! God can now bless you, not because you are Abraham's seed but because you have received the promised Christ Jesus into your life - the same Jesus who is the Seed of the Spirit of God!
Stand in the offering plate.
