But Christ Being Come An High Priest Of Good Things To Come, By A Greater And More Perfect Tabernacle, Having Obtained Eternal Redemption For You and I - Part 1850

"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who though the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purger your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause He is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." (Hebrews 9:14-180

God who is now attired in a body of sin prone flesh went about delivering a message that the first Adam should have embraced. If Adam had embraced God’s words of instruction, then all of his descendants would have been spared tears, agonies, pains, sickness, and death. But man was in free fall. Not evolving. No sir. Man was descending into a pit. 

How can I say this? Because man was created by God for God. Therefore, in the same context, man without fellowship with God is empty, just like the earth was void of form before God took it upon Himself to furnish it. Indeed, pior to God stepping in to furnish the earth it is said that the earth was without form. In the beginning, Adam was alone in the garden. It was God who observed that Adam was lonely. It was also God who made a companion for Adam, a woman to dwell with him as a helpmate. The woman was made of his own flesh.

Just as it was in the beginning, God knows what we have need of even before we ask. Why? Because God is a good God. God is a merciful God. God is full of kindness and love for those who turn their heart to HIm. Delight in Him, and He will give you the desires of your heart. And this same God, after His kindness and love became our Saviour, shedding His holy blood on a cross for you and I.

And He has placed His purpose in our heart whilst we were still in our mother's womb. Yes, God has a plan for man. As the scriptures state, eye has not seen, neither has ear heard of the things that God has in store for those who love Him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. However, this also means we need to understand God's plan of salvation.

How from the very beginning, He had hidden the mystery of godliness in His bosom until the appointed time. Therein, we begin to understand that God (who is Spirit) descended into mans’ hopeless situation by preparing a natural body for Himself. This body was to be born of a young virgin girl named Mary, who was rejoicing in God her Saviour.

The life that was to indwell her ody was not a seed from Adam’s fallen sinful race. The reason for this is that Adam sinned. From this point on, we inherited his fallen nature. But the life that was to indwell in Mary's body was to be a life conceived by the holy Spirit of God. A spiritual life of God Himself as a Son. 

JESUS -- Emmanuel, being interpreted, God with us. (Matthew 1:18-23; Luke 1:35) He Himself appeared as a man for indeed He was a man in all respects. He was born as a man, and even though Luke identifies Jesus as a holy thing in the womb, He was still tempted as are we. 

Still, God was going to sacrifice His own sinless body on a cross so that we might have salvation in HIm. O, how He must have grieved from the very beginning, knowing that most would not respond to His everlasting love call. Even so, God knew that He was the ONLY ONE perfect enough to shed His precious holy blood on the cross, and to take on HIs body all of our sins. 

Thus, purchasing back to Himself His own creation as if they had never sinned. In other words, while one man’s sin condemned, another man’s righteousness redeems us. He is the Living Word wherein we can have the words of life because Jesus willingly sacrificed Himself for us. As a consequence, there is no more sacrifice for sin. Our debt has been paid in full. The Gift of God is eternal life.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever BELIEVES IN HIM should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:!6)

Harken unto His call on your life today. Read the book of Acts, and see how Jesus teachings were implemented into the society at large. Pray without ceasing. Study the Word to show yourself approved, as doth a workman unto God. Give Him all the praise and glory and honour. In this current dispensation of grace, His Name is JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21-23)

The Word made flesh and dwelt among us so that we could and would behold His glory. (John 1:1-18)
