To Whom Be Glory Forever And Ever, Amen, The Lord of Hosts, Jesus Is His Name - Part 1836

Grace and peace be to you from our God and Father and the Lord Jesus the Christ who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. (Galatians 1:3-4)

"Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ, according as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love; having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according tot he good pleasure of His will. to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace, wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself ...

... that in the dispensation of the fullness of times, He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, even in Him, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who works all things after the counsel of His own will, that we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ." (Ephesians 1:2-12)

The grace of God which brings forth salvation has appeared. The dayspring from on high has now visited His people. Yes, God was manifest in the flesh so that we might obtain life eternal. (I Timothy 3:16) GOD Himself as a Son came to redeem His household so that we -- the redeemed now being the temple in which His holy Spirit -- the Holy Ghost is pleased to dwell -- and can be saved.

He [the holy Spirit] in Christ purchased us with His own precious blood, which eternal life blood flowed in the veins of the son child JESUS who was conceived of the SEED life of God who is Spirit.

And the angel answered and said unto [Mary], "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)

Thus, we see JESUS' body nourished and clothed upon in flesh in the womb of His surrogate mother Mary and  fashioned in flesh -- appearing a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death. That He {JESUS} by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Therefore, without hesitance, let us come boldly to His throne of grace so that we may obtain mercy that will comfort and help us in times of need.

"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)

Nevertheless, the decision was made as a Son that He would lay aside the will of His flesh (to live) and consequently become obedient to the will of His Father which was, as we now realize to lay down His flesh as a sacrificial offering. The perfect sacrifice made for our transgressions, the price paid once and for all.

On making this decision for humans everywhere, JESUS sweat as these were drops of blood (the pivotal decision to which He responded by saying, "Not My will [the will of the flesh to live] but Thy will be done." Amen! Abba Father! Herein we see the grace of the Lord JESUS the Christ manifesting the love of God towards us. God clothed in human flesh as a Son, by the willing sacrifice of His sinless body (yet prone to sin body) has redeemed us to commune and fellowship with His Spirit.

It is because of God's willingness and love to become a man that we are assured that the Son of God has come and opened our understanding. So that we can know and recognize the truth as stated in the gospel scriptures.

For in JESUS (the beloved and only begotten of the Spirit of God) did all truth dwell. JESUS who is the true God -- the tree of eternal life! It is unto Him that we are kept from falling in our daily walk with Jesus. It is He who will present us as faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. Yes, to the One and Only wise God Our Saviour, be the glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (Jude 1:25)

"Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy." (Jude 1:24; Zechariah 3:4-5)

To the believing church, please remember the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. That is, "stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." (Galatians 5:1) Peace forever in JESUS! Stand in the offering plate.
