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 -- Part 1762

"Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more. 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; and hath committed unto us the Word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (II Corinthians 5:16-21)

What is the ministry of reconciliation? That God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.  Thus, we preach to you to be reconciled to God, for He hath made Him to be sin for us -- He that knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. This is why after repentance that we are baptized in the precious, holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, when we recognize Jesus as both Lord and Christ -- so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. (Acts 2:36-38; Acts 10:4-48; Romans 6:1-2)

"Which sometime were disobedient, when once the long suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure where unto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ." (I Peter 3:20-21)
This is why the angel said to call His Name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21-23) Because when He walked on this earth, Jesus was the prophesied Christ, Emmanuel being interpreted, "God with us." (Matthew 1:23)  And now, after He was taken up, He THROUGH the Holy Ghost gave commandments unto the apostles whom He had chosen. (Acts 1:2-3)

The doctrine of Christ. (Hebrews 6:1-2) The same Christ which the Israelites followed through the Red Sea, and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea..

"Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ." (I Corinthians 10:1-4)
This is why -- "whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son." (II John 1:9)

Not three gods, or one God divided into parts as the modern day religious culture presents but One God who loved us so much that He willingly would come into this world and become the perfect sacrifice for you and I. 

"He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own and His own received Him not." (John 1:10-11) The Word made flesh and dwelt among us. The "same" Word that was with God and WAS God -- the "same" which was in the beginning. (John 1:1-4) He is the Light of the world, which gives man life. He is the bread of life, wherein when we eat, we will never hunger again.

In this current dispensation of grace, Jesus is His Name. Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the ending. JESUS -- King of kings and Lord of lords. The Son of man being the Lord from heaven.

"And I heard a great voice out of heaven 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. 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.

And He that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said unto me, "Write: for these words are true and faithful." And He said unto me, "It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely; he that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:3-8)

Jesus is the one true invisible God and Father -- the visible image of God Almighty. And now, in the Holy Ghost, we can become His forever and ever -- for Thine is the kingdom of God drawn nigh unto you. 

If you have not asked Jesus to be Lord of your life, please do not delay, because this is the only day which is promised unto you. Be water baptized [buried] in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, so that ye too can receive the gift of the Holy Ghost -- the Spirit of the resurrected Christ living within you. And let Him lead and guide you -- through His Word -- into all truth -- Thy Word is truth. (John 17:17) 

And know that you will never thirst again, because from this point forward, you will be drinking the living water from a well that never runs dry. 

"Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me. Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by Myself, the Word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to Him shall men come; and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory." (Isaiah 45:21-25)

"Who hath wrought and done it,calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I AM HE ..." (Isaiah 41:4) Indeed, after the kindness and love of God our Saviour. (Titus 3:4-7)
