The Spirit And The Word Agree; One Accord Always Because God Is Not The Author Of Confusion- Part 2232

" ... how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge 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. For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood." (Hebrews 9:14-18)

Jesus told the disciples that this cup is the new testament. He said, “a new testament." Note that Isaiah had afore prophesied that the Lord would do a new thing. Thus, by referring to this current dispensation as the new testament, He had rendered the former covenant old and obsolete. More on this subject can be found in Hebrews 9, wherein the Holy Ghost this signified, but not while the first was standing. Further, if we review the scriptures in context, we find that the old covenant was between two parties. The new covenant is the last Will and Testament of the holy Spirit’s only begotten son named Jesus.

Obviously, Jesus did not consult with man before He wrote His last will and testament  As a consequence, there are many people who will try to obscure His Will. Contesting His will too -- is another way of looking at it. 

But the point that they need to take note of is that this WILL is more than a covenant. Why? For covenants come and covenants go. God walked away from the former covenant simply because the other party involved never fulfilled their part of the covenant. (known in our Bibles as the Old Testament)

But this new TESTAMENT is established between God who is Spirit and the man Jesus the child of the Holy Ghost. The contents contained in the new testament are not dependant on Adam or attempts by the fallen race to ratify its contents. However, Adam's fallen sinful offspring became benefactors of all the contained promises and blessings, simply because in the veins of the man Jesus flowed the blood of His own holy Spirit.

"To wit, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself." (II Corinthians 5:19)

It is HIS blood that seals the everlasting testament. In order to receive the contents willed to you by the ONE GOD who was in the man Christ Jesus, you must come to the advocate of the will. This is the way that the Holy Ghost spoke through the mouth of Peter -- Jesus, after being taken up, gave commandments to the apostles THROUGH the Holy Ghost. (Acts 1:2-3)

Remember when the people wanted to know what to do, and they asked this very question, saying to Peter (standing with the eleven), "What must we do?" (Acts 2:36-41) They had come to the realization that they had, by their collective actions crucified the Lord of glory. The response? 

Peter said to them, Repent (why not?) and be baptized (why not?) in water (symbolical of being buried and rising again) as outlined in Romans chapter 6:3-6 and Acts 2:38.

Into the name of the Lord Jesus, said Peter. And as many as are baptized into Jesus the Christ will be baptized into His death. This is why there is no other name under Heaven given among men whereby we can be saved. (Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:9)

No other name. Only Jesus! Ye shall call His name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sin. (Matthew 1:21-23)

Father, son, spirit are titles, signifying to some extent positions or roles. These are descriptive titles. But there is only ONE NAME -- and as the angel of the Lord said, "And ye shall call His Name JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins." 

Hear ye Him, and follow the instructions as per the words of the administrator of the New Testament (the Holy Ghost). Continue steadfast in His Word. Press into the mark which is the "risen" Christ Jesus. Remain in the apostles doctrine and don't ever look back but rather, upward -- for the Lord Jesus has a purpose and calling on your life. Study your New Testament every chance you get -- at every opportunity -- asking for His guidance and direction.

Pray without ceasing and rejoice evermore. Stand in the offering plate.
