Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

Blessed Kingdom Brethren @ ZION: Previously, we delved into theological discourse on significant meanings of SIN IN ITS DIVERSE DIMENSIONS OF OPERATIONS IN MAN. Today, we will commence by lending extra and adequate points of significant meanings of the same spiritual malady called SIN. 
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.

Inasmuch as we have successfully had good expositions of the first three of this theological talk pertaining to sacred definitions of SIN, permit me, therefore, to proceed with the fourth definition of SIN. 
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.

*SIN AS "MISSING THE MARK": Sin can, alternatively, be defined as 'falling short of the goal that has been set'. God's GOAL is Christ De Messiah. The object and end-purpose of all of life is to live up to the life of Christ De Messiah. He came to show us that it is possible for man to succeed and achieve here on earth; and when we fail to follow His Divine Example, we "miss the mark" and fall short of the Divine Standard of God.

*SIN As A Form Of "TRESPASS". SIN is the intrusion of Self-will into the sphere of Divine Authority. Sin is not merely a negative thing, it is not just the absence of Love for God. It is the making of a positive choice, the preference of SELF instead of God. It is the centering of affection in one's own being instead of reaching out with all your heart to embrace God. Egoism and Selfishness are the marks of SIN as surely as are theft and murder. Probably this is the most subtle and destructive form of SIN, for in this form it is so easy to overlook the label on the bottle of poison. All who cling to themselves, all who center their entire attention on their own beings, all those who regard only their own interests and strive to protect only their own rights - all these are sinners as much as the harlots and murderers.

The Lord Christ De Messiah had this to say: "What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul"
 (Mark 8: 36).
 This, translated into modern terms &  application, we could say, "What shall it profit a man to possess a vast world empire of business whilst he is consumed by health hazard and can enjoy nothing of life? What shall it profit a man to bring up children with harsh and hard-earned money, in this world of austerity measures and financial crunch, if he is rejected by them later and abandoned to a lonely old age? What shall it profit a military dictator though he conquer a hemisphere if he must live in constant fear of an assassin's bullet or avenger's reprisal attacks and assaults. Certainly, the SIN of SELF is a deadly SIN indeed.

*SIN Is "UNBELIEF". Unbelief is a SIN because it is an insult to the Truthfulness of God, "He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness within himself. He that believeth not God hath made Him a liar because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son"
(1 John 5: 10).

It is the SIN of Unbelief that shuts the door to Heaven & opens it to hellfire. It is Unbelief that rejects The Word Of God and refuses Christ De Messiah as Saviour. It is Unbelief that causes men to turn a deaf ear to the Gospel and to deny the miracles of Christ De Messiah.

THE RESULTANT EFFECTS OF SIN: Evidently, individual Lawlessness produces grief, pain, sickness, mental disorder, family upheavals, disease & even death. On a national or international scale mass Lawlessness repels the Spirit of God and results in all kinds of social and political confusion - wars, freak weather, famines, disease - epidemics, earthquakes and disasters of all kinds, disease which most people think happen purely by chance. In actual fact nothing happens "purely by chance" and the sooner people realize that disorders and disasters are symptoms of moral degradation, the greater will be the hope of averting them
(Deuteronomy 28).

The Bible speaks plainly concerning the condition of the person living in SIN: he is actually sick
(Matt. 9: 12);
he is lost
(Luke 9: 10);
 he is a child of the Devil (John 8: 44);
he is a slave of SIN
(Romans 6: 16);
he lives in darkness (Colossians 1: 13; 1 Peter 2: 9; 1 John 2: 11).

The final result of Sin is Death. The Holy Scriptures speak of two types of Death, namely: Spiritual and Physical or Fleshly Deaths. The Physical Death is a result of Adam's Sin - not of our own personal Sins. All people regardless of their spiritual condition must face death of the flesh. Deliverance from a Physical Death will also come to a people, regardless of their spiritual condition. This deliverance will come by the resurrection:
  1 Cor. 15: 21, 22, John 5: 28, 29.

Of course, we will not have to answer for the Sins of Adam. God doesn't hold us responsible for the Sins of others but only for our own personal disobedience of His Law - 2 Cor. 5: 10. "So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God" -
Romans 14: 12.

The "Deaths of the Spirit" or Spiritual Death is the penalty for our own Sins. The Holy Bible calls it "The Second Death".  Take a look @ Revelation 21: 8. This horrible death is an eternal separation from God and Christ De Messiah. It keeps the person who continues in Sin from going to Heaven. The Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua said to those who refused to turn from wrong ways: " I go away and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your Sin: Whither I go, ye cannot come" - John 8: 21. Again, these shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord.....
" - 2 Thessalonians. 1: 9.  This is the final result of a sinful life  
Romans 6: 23 & James 1: 15.

Indeed, Sin incurs the "Penalty Of Death" and no man has the ability in himself to save himself from Sin's Penalty or to cleanse his own heart of its corruption. Neither Angels nor men can atone for Sin. It is only in Lord Christ De Messiah that the "Remedy For Sin" can be found. "The Soul that sinneth, it shall die"
  Ezekiel 18: 4.

And, "none of them can by any means redeem his brother nor give to God a ransom for him"
 Psalm 49: 7.
 "Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the "Day Of The Lord's Wrath" 
 Zephaniah 1: 18.






A CONCISE TALK ON REMEDY TO MAN'S SPIRITUAL PREDICAMENT OF SINFUL LIFE:
Obviously, God's Divine Agent for the Remedy or Solution to man's predicament of Sin is none other than "The Blessed Saviour Of All Mankind", Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua. He does this for each penitent & believing Soul by creating in that Soul a "New Mind", a "New Outlook" and a "New Goal". The old sinful nature is not somehow patched & coaxed along. It is rather annihilated, it is destroyed, it is buried! 
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.

Whilst affording eternal Salvation unto the Soul of a Believer, The Blessed Lord & Redeemer operates a supernatural, spiritual system or Divine mechanism of impartation cum implantation or infusion whereby the Soul becomes regenerated or born anew, becoming a "New Person", a "New Creation" recreated in God's Image and Likeness. 
Alleluia!! Amen.

Indeed, this new creation, new person or precisely a new CONVERT - which could be YOU - is born to The New, Spiritual Royal Kingdom Family Of Almighty God. He now possesses a renewed life, a fresh & divine life worthy of the Gospel of Christ De Messiah. The Holy Spirit of God currently dwells in him and with the infusion or impartation of this Divine Life, or Supernatural Holy Nature in him, he finds himself in a sanctified spiritual state of righteousness where God can use him whilst he partakes of the Divine Life and Nature of God
  John 3: 3-5,  1 Peter. 1: 23.
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

In New Birth or Regeneration, a penitent Soul turns to The Blessed Lord & Saviour, Christ De Messiah and while exercising his Faith in The Lord & Redeemer he can observe how The Holy Spirit takes up residence in his ❤ heart, making him a blessed, sanctified Saint. Behold, he is born anew, by the Grace of Lord Christ De Messiah and to the Glory of Almighty God, to Whom be the Honour, Thanksgiving, Power, Dominion, Majesty, Glory And Worship from everlasting to everlasting. 
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen & Amen.

DIVINE ROYAL KINGDOM FAMILY MEMBERSHIP OF THE SANCTIFIED SAINTS IN CHRIST DE MESSIAH
All who sincerely respond to the Kingdom Glorious Call to Regeneration or New Birth in The Lord Christ De Messiah have secured Divine Membership of The Blessed Royal Heavenly ๐Ÿ‘‘ Kingdom Family ๐Ÿ‘ช Of God. 
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Behold, at that moment what can only be described as a Miracle took place - God, without Whose Grace YOU could not have repented and believed, gave YOU a New Life. YOU were born anew.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.

 You have now entered into The Royal Holy ๐Ÿ‘ช Family of Holy Christianity and become a Child of God and entered His ๐Ÿ‘‘ Kingdom Family. 
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

You may not have been conscious of anything happening, even as @ the time of your physical birth you were not conscious of what was taking place. Self-consciousness, the awareness of who and what one is, is part of the process of personal development. Nevertheless, just as when you were born you emerged as a New independent ๐Ÿ‘ฉ Personality, so when you were born again you became spiritually a New Creature in The Lord Christ De Messiah. 
Alleluia!! Amen.

You may be amazed and thinking: "But is God not the Father of all ๐Ÿ‘ฌ men? Are not all people the Children of God? Of course: Yes and No! God is certainly the Creator of all ๐Ÿ‘ฌ men; and all are His "Offspring" in the sense that they derive their being from Him. However, the Holy Scriptures clearly distinguish between this general relation to God to the entire human race as Creator to His creatures and the special relation of "Father To Child" which He establishes with those who are His New Creation through Faith in The Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH. 
Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest! Amen.

Apostle John explained this in the prologue to his ๐Ÿก Gospel when he wrote:
"He (Lord Christ De Messiah) Came To His Own Home; And His Own People Received Him Not. But To All Who Received Him, Who Believed In His Name, He Gave Power To Become Children Of God; Even To Them That Believe On His Name ...
Which Were Born ... Of God" 
(John 1: 12, 13).

The three clauses beginning with the word "who" all describe the same people. The Children of God are those who are born of God; and those who are born of God are those who have received the Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH into their lives and who have believed His Name. 
What does it mean to be a "Child of God" in this sense? Like membership of any other family, it has both its privileges and its responsibilities. Let us go on at this juncture to what "The Privileges" stand for.

DIVINE PRIVILEGES OF THE KINGDOM SAINTS 
The unique privilege of the person who has been born anew into the Blessed Royal Family of God is that he is related to God. Let us now consider the first aspect of this Divine Relationship.





* AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP:
 Certainly, it is our Sins that alienate us from God. Sins come as barrier between man and God. Put differently, Sins place us under the just condemnation of the Judge of all the ๐ŸŒ earth. However, now through The Lord Christ De Messiah Who bore our condemnation and to Whom by Faith we have become united, we have been "justified", that is, brought into acceptance with God and pronounced righteous. Behold, our Judge has become our loving Father. 
Alleluia!! Amen.

"Behold what Love The Father has given us, that we should be called Children of God; and so we are", wrote Apostle John. "Father" & "Son" are the distinctive titles which Lord Christ De Messiah gave to God and to Himself; and they are the very Names which He permits us to use! By union with Him we are permitted to share something of His Own intimate relation to the Father.

Bishop Cyprian who became the Bishop of Carthage in the middle of the 3rd Century A. D. well expressed our Privilege when writing about The Lord's Prayer:

  • "How Great Is The LORD'S Indulgence!
  • How Great Are His Condescension 
  • And Plentousness Of Goodness Towards Us 
  • Seeing That He Has Wished Us To Pray In  
  • The Sight Of God In Such A Way As  
  • To Call God Our Father & 
  •  To Call Ourselves Sons Of God; 
  • Even As Christ De Messiah Is The Son Of God  
  • A Name Which None Of Us 
  • Would Dare To Venture On In Prayer;
  • Unless He Himself Had Allowed Us 
  • Thus To Pray". 
Now @ last we can repeat The LORD'S Prayers without hypocrisy. Previously, the words had a hollow sound; now they ring with new & noble meaning. God is indeed our Father in Heaven, Who knows our needs before we ask & will not fail to give good things to His ๐Ÿก Children.
Alleluia!! Amen.

It may be necessary for us sometimes to receive correction @ His Hand, "for The Lord disciplines him whom He loves and chastises everyone whom He receives". But in this ๐Ÿก He is treating us as Sons and disciplining us for our good. 
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

With such a Father, loving, wise, gracious, great and powerful, we can be delivered from all fears (Hebrews 12: 3-11). 

Behold how great and wonderful is the full assurance of the realization of our Blessed ๐Ÿ‘‘ Kingdom Hope @ ZION in Lord Christ De Messiah; even as our God makes us to come to the full Knowledge of our Blessed Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua. By Whom all mankind look up to the highest Heavens and behold, as in a glass, His spotless & most excellent visage. By Whom the eyes of men's foolish and darkened understanding rejoice to behold His wonderful๐Ÿ’ก Light. By Whom God would have every holy man, even the Blessed  Kingdom Saints @ ZION, to taste the Knowledge of Immortality. 
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.

Oh, how blessed and wonderful are God's Gifts to His ๐Ÿก Kingdom Saints, even His Holy ๐Ÿ‘ฌ Men of Integrity and Goodwill: Life in Immortality! ๐Ÿ”† Brightness in Righteousness! Truth in full Assurance! Faith in Confidence! Temperance in Holiness! And all these glorious and virtuous things, The Father has subjected to our understanding - even as it pleases Him, to His ๐Ÿก Glory and by His ๐Ÿก Grace Thru His Most Merciful Son, Lord Christ De Messiah Who loved us in Peace. Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.

Beloved Blessed Heavenly Kingdom ๐Ÿ’• Saints and All Favoured Associates Of God's Kingdom @ ZION Of Holy Jerusalem:
 Our Glorious Happy Home

 Remain Blessed Forever By Christ De Messiah's Abundant Grace And ๐Ÿ˜ Love. 
Amen & Amen. Alleluia!!

  • O That God's ๐Ÿ‘‘ Kingdom Men Might Praise The ๐Ÿก Holy Name Of The Almighty God,  Our Eternal Heavenly Father And Creator For His Blessed Work Of Man's ♥ Redemption By Lord Christ De Messiah, To Whom Be The Glory, Blessings, Wisdom, Honour, Power,  Dominion, Thanksgiving And Worship From Everlasting To Everlasting!
  • Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The ๐Ÿก Highest! 
  ♥ THE SPIRITUAL BURDEN OF MAN'S SINFUL MAKE-UP AND DIVINE SOLUTION BY REDEMPTION THRU CHRIST DE MESSIAH ♥  
Ever since the time of Adam in the Garden of Eden, man has been sold into the slave market of SIN & DEATH. What a tragedy of spiritual captivity to Adam! O That Almighty God Might Have Mercy Upon Man In His Spiritual And Moral Depravity, By God's Grace & ๐Ÿ˜ Love In Christ De Messiah! 
 Hosanna! Alleluia!! Amen.

For as much as the transgression was wrought in Adam & Eve through through the Serpent, both ๐Ÿ’€ Death & ๐Ÿ˜ˆ SIN have passed to all their descendants.  Man's Free Will has consequently been so distorted & weakened  that he cannot believe in much less than ๐Ÿ˜ Love of God unless prompted & assisted by Grace.

But Holy Thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua for He has imparted to us New Knowledge, Fresh Life, Immortality, etc. Through Lord Christ De Messiah we gaze up to the Holy Heaven & taste Immortality of Life in The Blessed Lord CHRIST DE MESSIAH. Through
Him & By Him, God has called us from ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Darkness to ๐Ÿ’ก Light, from Ignorance to Knowledge of the Glory of His Holy Name. Indeed, CHRIST DE MESSIAH has rescued us from the darkness of error; it was because of the enlightenment received from Him that those who are now Christians & Zionists abandoned idolatry. In addition to revealing the true God,  He makes God's Holy Law known to us. Indeed, this Law of Holy Commandments of the LORD is The Son Of God, Who is preached from end to end of the ๐ŸŒ World. 

Alleluia!! Amen.



In harmony with the Christ De Messiah's Sufferings; and even His Holy Death on Calvary Cross are set out chiefly as Models of Obedience and Self-refacing ๐Ÿ˜ Love.


Further,  Christ De Messiah is The Saviour  of Mankind And The Prince of Immortality, through Whom God has revealed to us The Truth And The Heavenly Life. The object of His Sacred ♥ Endurance was to abolish ๐Ÿ’€ Death And to demonstrate Resurrection from the dead. 
Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!



The essence of Salvation seems to consist in Union  with CHRIST De MESSIAH,  through Whom New Life & Immortality flow into us, by His Grace. He dwells in us, so that we become His Temple. Hence, He is our live, our inseparable Grace of Divinity, by believing in His Death, we escape ๐Ÿ’€ death.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.

The human nature is composed of TWO ELEMENTS, Body & Soul. And they are unanimous that man is endowed with Free-will. We had no choice in being born, but we have a choice, in virtue of the rational powers God has given us, whether to live in a fashion acceptable to Him or not. As a result, since we are reasonable beings, we are without excuse whatsoever in God's Eyes when we do wrong. For it lies within the orbit of man's choice whether he is to do good or ๐Ÿ˜ˆ evil, with all the disastrous consequences which a decision for the latter entails.

Sin consists in erroneous belief and ignorance of what is good and in the resultant rebellion against God's Holy Commandments.


How then do ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Evil & Sin arise? The transgression of God's Ordinances has placed the whole human race under a curse. Malign demons, themselves the product of the union of fallen angels with daughters of men, are to blame. Swarming everywhere, they have obsessed men's souls and bodies, infecting them with vice and corruption.


The Blessed Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua was made man of the Blessed Virgin in order that, by the same way in which the disobedience proceeding from the serpent took its rise, it might also receive its abolition. For Eve, when a Virgin undefiled, conceived the word of the serpent and brought forth disobedience and death. The Sin of Adam & Eve, consisting as it did in their yielding to the ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Devil's blandishments, is the prototype of man's Sin.


Our nearest approach to a corporate conception of Sin is better described in the assertion that, "having been born without our knowledge and consent, we have been trained up in wicked ways by our environment; and in this sense perhaps may be called *children of necessity*''. Man fell into Sin through becoming attached to one of the angels, namely, Satan De ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Devil, who was more subtle than the rest and venerating him as God; and thus he became henceforth the prey of demonic assaults.


Adam was infantile and undeveloped and indeed this was the reason why he was forbidden the acquisition of knowledge. Had he been content to remain obedient, he might have become immortal, but he disobeyed and so became mortal. All the physical woes of humanity can be traced to that act of disobedience and the expulsion from Paradise, which it entailed. 



Being a creature, Adam was necessarily far removed from the Divine Perfection & Incorruptibility; an infinite distance divided him from God. In Paradise, therefore, he was morally, spiritually and intellectually a Child. Whilst God infused into him 'the breath of life'. He did not bestow upon him the Spirit of Adoption which He gives to Genuine Christians & Zionists. It was by a long response to Grace & Submission to God's Will that Adam, equipped as he was with free choice, was intended to advance towards ever closer resemblance to his Maker.

Unfortunately, because of man's weakness his inexperience, the process was interrupted almost @ the beginning; he fell an easy prey to Satan's wiles and disobeyed God. Thus he lost the Divine Image and Likeness (at any rate the likeness, since the image must have persisted in some degree) and fell into the clutches of the ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Devil.


Because of His measureless ๐Ÿ˜ Love, Lord Christ De Messiah became what we are in order to enable us to become what He is. What we lost in Adam, we recovered in Christ De Messiah; so if we fell through our solidarity with the first man, we can be restored through our solidarity with CHRIST De MESSIAH. 

Alleluia!! Amen.





From Apostle Paul's description of the Divine Purpose as being "to sum up all things in The Lord Christ De Messiah" we infer that "The Redeemer gathers together", comprises the whole of reality in Himself, the human race being included, by His ๐Ÿก Grace. 
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

The Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua, being God, forgives Sins, while the function of His humanity is to serve as a model so as to prevent us from sinning further.


By associating with Blessed Christ De Messiah, we lose our spiritual deadness and irrationality, becoming "divinely possessed and rational. He is the pattern of the perfect life, the example of true Virtue of ๐Ÿ˜ Love and Mercy, into Whose likeness Christians and Zionists are transformed, thereby being enabled to participate in the Divine nature.


Oh, it's Big Thanks to HIM, Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah, Whose death on Calvary Cross purchased all Kingdom Brethren @ ZION of Holy Jerusalem unto God and fetched us Eternal Life, Blessedness, Peace, Bliss And Glory, to God's Glory and by His ๐Ÿก Grace and ๐Ÿ˜ Love. 

Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

THE VOICE OF CONSCIENCE IN PRUDENCE AND RESTRICTION OF SIN IN HUMAN NATURE 
Some have attempted to define SIN as an ACTION or a piece of INACTION which one carries out in defiance of his or her Conscience. There are some who even claim that their Conscience is clear, they have committed no sin. Although, quite beautiful, this theory of Sin is wrong in at least two significant respects. First and foremost, since man is a creature, his conscience must of necessity be limited like him & therefore cannot be all-knowing. Since no man's conscience can be omniscient, then it stands to reason that some sins will escape the purview of one's conscience. The human conscience hasn't got any chance to be a god. It never can be!


Moreover, even as no man is independent of his conscience, so also no conscience is independent of the man who owns it. Why? Because the Conscience is your private interior reminder and psychic invigilator, reminding you of that which is noble and ideal and rebuking you and criticizing you any moment you fall below the noble expectations.

Perhaps, you are about to take a decision which entails a fall from your high ideals or from tenets of behaviour which you esteem, then your conscience will tag at you, reminding you of the high ideal. At that moment it will try to impede your resolve to come down from a high standard of behaviour. So, in effect, no one is independent of his or her conscience, although we have the capacity to ignore the Voice of Conscience. We do wilfully ignore the warning of Conscience, and suffer sleepless nights and nervous tension thereafter.


Of course, it is only what you accept as being noble that your conscience retains as the measure of nobility. Similarly, it is only what you conceive as being moral that your conscience retains as being moral. However, what you have believed and conceived as being immoral becomes immoral to your conscience; and it will reprove you any moment you dabble into it.





So, your Conscience is completely relative to the constituents of your personal belief system. Nevertheless, no sinner can go without Divine Retribution.





OUR PRUDENT JOURNEY BACK TO GOD
The story of the fall of Man and Woman set out allegorically in the Scriptural Book, Genesis, is interpreted profoundly in the two verses of 
Romans 1: 21, 28.
"Because that when they knew God, they glorify Him not as God, neither were they thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened" (Romans 1: 21).
"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient" (Romans 1: 28).

First and foremost, when they knew God, they decided not to glorify Him as God.
Secondly, they decided not to appreciate the good things that knowledge was bringing to them. They begun imagining that there were still better things available from lesser other personalities in the universe.
Finally, the arrogance bred frustration. The ingratitude led to a fall in privileges enjoyed.


Evidently, God took the pains to introduce Himself to man, but man refused to glorify Him as God; and moreover refused to show his gratitude for that privilege. Hence, the ORIGINAL SIN from which other Sins sprung up, for which all men are still paying heavy penalties.


The shortage of privileges mounted on frustration and propelled by underlying arrogance metamorphosed into hatred of God.


Just imagine - the situation of the GOOD, BENEVOLENT AND ALL POWERFUL GOD Being hated by the frail, parasital, selfish man.


Hence, the foremost STEP BACK TO GOD and out of SIN  is not mere Meditation and Fasting, although these have spiritual relevance. It is  not tortorous cum mental gymnastics in search of a so-called cosmic consciousness. It is rather that which King David, by inspiration, postulated in Psalm 51 out of intense personal realization:
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart, O God, Thou will not despise"
(Genesis 51: 17).


It is quite quite a pity that, meanwhile, the Knowledge of God on earth is faint. Howbeit, then that is the burden of a long historical sequence of personal and general rebellion against God.


In fact, it cannot be otherwise. Thus, those who do not know God obviously have got to depend on those who know Him clearly to guide them BACK TO GOD. And, similarly, it cannot be otherwise. Hence, the sacred importance of mature, genuine and earnest Servants of Almighty God in The Church of God.


So, in effect, when the Lord Christ De Messiah proclaimed Himself as The Way, The Truth And The Life from God, He was neither boasting, nor indulging in hyperbole. His Life proved quite convincing that He knew The Father more clearly and intimately than all those who had come before Him and more than all those who have come since then. Yet The Lord Christ De Messiah saw it as HIS MISSION to assist us grow to His Divine Standard of Knowledge of God and intimacy of relationship with God.





Blessed and graciously fortunate indeed are all who believe in The Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah and follow Him BACK TO GOD.
