Jan 14:23

 

Now, with the help of the Lord, we will try to delve into the truth a little, because unfortunately the awareness of people on earth about it, is very low. People think that they know a truth and they hit others with it, unfortunately most often those who are introduced by the Holy Spirit into the precious Word of God. Throughout the generations, people have always tried to kill people who stood in the truth of God's Word, because the religious world hated them. Therefore, we see that whenever a group of people arose in religion who adhered to the truth, wanted to live  with the truth, the religious leaders attacked them because they became an obstacle to their position or to their ways of solving matters.

 

When Jesus Christ came, the religious leaders did exactly the same. Similarly, religious leaders did when the prophets rose up and spoke the truth from God. Often they were threatening them with their threats, and wanted to shut their mouths or they killed them, to eliminate them from the living. It has been like this for all generations. So to know the truth means to afoul yourself to those who do not want the truth, they want that everybody would confess that, what they have established.

 

For example, the Creed was established at the Nicene Council and it was approved, that such a Creed is to be valid throughout the Church, and if someone disagrees with it, should be at least severed. Later on, even pressure and power was used to hit these people. In general, merging with the authority was already a betrayal of Jesus Christ. Authority has its laws and rules, and the Church has its laws and rules. The authority of this world has a sword from God and they should administer justice, punish criminals, put them in prisons, this is their task. The Church should save, set free from sins, shine with the light of Christ Jesus, proclaim the truth about salvation, about the Kingdom of God. God did not give us a sword to administer justice and cut off the head of a criminal, etc. We have a different sword - God's Word, with which we want to cut off man from his dependence on the devil who destroys him. And when you combine the two into one, then the sword of the authority serves the Church to destroy those who do not conform to the confession of this Church. Such tragedies have happened for all generations.

 

Many of the bishops who attended the Nicene Council were faced with a precarious situation to them, when Constantine the Great determined that there need to be introduced some words,  into the confession of faith, which they had already established in their own way, for the unification of the basic creed of the Christian faith and for the settlement of disputes. It is not known whether this emperor was a believer. He was a clever and cunning politician who knew that if he subjugated believers, he would achieve peace in his empire and he would be able to manage it. Why was such a confession of faith necessary for someone? Is this creed even recorded in the Bible? Why did someone need a creed other than that found in the Bible? How is it possible that the bishops who read the Bible became involved in this? The emperor prepared it all nicely: he invited the bishops and then held a feast for them. During this time, not only was a profession of faith established, which became binding in the whole Church after a few years, but it was also agreed that during the assembly it was not allowed to kneel but only to stand while praying. Because of whom and why? Maybe because of the emperor, who was misbecame to kneel. And whoever would be opposed to this, would be excluded. Penance penalties of several years were established. However, God's Word says otherwise.

 

The Word of God was left behind and the human order began to be established. In human ways, it means fleshly, and there is always the devil behind it. We see these so-called powerful Christian religions that do not actually save people, or bring them to the life of Christ, but destroy the desire to live like Christ. These people live like the world and they feel fine. So this whole confession shows by its fruit, that the Lord was never in it. Lots of people in Poland consider themselves Christians, but how do they live? They do not live in a way that shows others that they are following the way leading them to eternity in Christ Jesus, they are not close to each other, they do not cleanse themselves, they do not prepare to meet the Lord, they live in front of TV sets, at some parties, drinking alcohol, in some magic, occultism, and then they go to the place of the religious act for a while. You can see what the contemporary confession of faith led to. The fruit shows how many people have been deceived and tricked, not only in Rome but also around the world.

 

What is the Bible for? To discover errors that lead away from the life of Christ. The Bible is not just a book to read. What a great battle took place, to prevent the Bible from being available in the native languages of the nations, when people who translated the Bible, for example, into English and other languages, were killed. They were burned at the stakes, because it was believed that if simple people would read the Bible, they would get confused. Yet Jesus spoke to the simple people, to fishermen. What a wonderful letter was written by a simple man - Peter. You don't need philosophers to understand the Bible. You just need to want to know the Lord.

 

A well-known Polish historian wrote about how this confession was formulated: “The first session took place on May 20, 325, in the great Hall of the imperial palace. Constantine appeared in all the splendor of his majesty, but without his bodyguard. The gathered people welcomed him through the uprising and sat down only at a sign given by him. The emperor then gave a speech that sounded like a hymn of praise to the glory of the Church. It is difficult, however, to determine to what extent it expressed the personal views of the ruler; it seems that, like most official speeches in all countries and times, this one was also written by one of the advisers, in this case it was probably Ossius. Of course, there were also calls for unity. The emperor spoke in Latin before the secretary repeated the thing in Greek. During the two-month deliberation, Constantine appeared many times at the Hall and took the chair. He also often met individually with bishops. Among these, there were more than once violent disputes, and each group tried to win the ruler to its side by all means. He was besieged with letters in which holy men accused each other of various transgressions; Constantine made no use of these materials, but neither did he destroy them. While the sessions were going on, he tried to keep an appearance of impartiality, although it was obvious that by Ossius persuasion, he was favoring Alexander. If the council wanted to settle doctrinal questions, it had to make as precise confession of faith as possible. During the deliberations on this item, the Bishop of Caesarea, Eusebius, presented his project. However, he was considered too compromising, and in the end, the text prepared by Ossius and Alexander won; Certainly, they were greatly assisted by a young deacon, the secretary of the bishop of Alexandria, named Athanasius. It is this Nicene Creed that is repeated to this day, albeit in a slightly expanded form, in most Christian Churches. It clearly states that Christ is "homoousios” or consubstantial with God. The term was supposedly proposed by Constantine himself, obviously on the initiative of Ossius, who had previously consulted the matter with Alexander and Athanasius. Its acceptance in the confession of faith was tantamount to a condemnation of the doctrine of Arius; which was also done in additional points."[1]

 

And an excerpt on the same topic from another historical book: “A creed was established, that seems to be the fruit of a compromise between those, who were more anxious to condemn Arius, who denied the eternity of the Son of God, and those who were more afraid of the expressions resembling those of Paul of Samosata. The concept of the consubstantiality of the Father and the Son, which was key to later Trinitarian discussions, allegedly proposed by the Emperor himself, was received very reluctantly, primarily because of the absence of that term in the Holy Scripture and because of the material associations, which it evoked. Only a special opinion on the purely spiritual meaning of the term prompted all bishops to sign it, beside two of them. The established creed was not immediately recognized by the Church, which is evidenced by the fact that all the participants of the Council in the following years engaged in synods, where a better formulation was sought. It has not been possible to establish convincingly, what form of creed could be the basis of the conciliar text. Rather, it should be regarded as the fruit of compilation work that satisfied no one, except the emperor. It was not until a quarter of a century after the Nicene Council, that Athanasius of Alexandria decided to accept this particular profession of faith as signed by the greatest number of bishops that had been gathered so far. There were about 250 of them, with time they started talking about 300, and finally about 318; a number interpreted histologically as a sign of the name of Jesus. Athanasius also spread the opinion that the Council was primarily anti-Arian."[2]

 

Even the bishops who attended the synod could not accept it with confidence, because it did not agree with the words, that they learned from the Bible. The attempt to confuse our thinking was pushing very hard on God's people to accept it that way. The devil showed it as a supposedly better appreciation of Christ Jesus. He didn't say it was about him, that it was to make everyone listen to him even more. The devil doesn't come to Christians saying, "Hear me, I am better", he just tries to put into Christ's statement, something that he supposedly said, and in fact Christ never said it. So he tempts people to this day, deceiving them to follow his teachings.

 

2 John 9:

“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth 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."

 

So let us be those who want to learn from the Bible when we read it. As we ponder the New Testament, let's see what it wants to tell us. In the previous chapter, I quoted the words of our Lord and Teacher Jesus Christ, which He Himself spoke about who sent Him, what He had to do, and why He went to the place from whence He would come back for us. I pointed to the words of Jesus, in which He himself showed what the reality is, so that we can lean on the Teacher Jesus Christ, because He alone knows the Father, and not on a human understanding. There have been many human teachings over the centuries, and I am not going to deal with it now, but I am more interested in the truth written in the Bible, because it alone frees man from the bondage of sin. If you want to save yourself, remember about it - read the Bible and learn God's Word so that you know, what it really is like. When you hear those today's preaching, how alluring and impulsive, often confirmed by healings or the so-called falling in a spirit, as another gift of the Holy Spirit, see if it is confirmed by the New Testament, if you will find there such a way of acting. If you do not find it, it means that it is not Christ, because the Word of God is used to detect errors. You must know the Spirit of Christ, you must know the Spirit of God in which the Word of God is written, because it was not written by people themselves, but people moved by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is not a Book just to be placed on a shelf. This is a Book where you and I need to recognize and understand the spiritual message for us. Spiritual people recognize the spiritual message. The carnal man reads the Bible and thinks that it can be understood in many ways, no matter how.

 

Are you already so familiar with the Bible that you recognize a spiritual message from Heavenly Father to you? Do you know the strength of this message? Are you already conquered for this glory, which I would like to write about now, to enjoy it every day, that such grace and great exaltation has been shown to you and me in Jesus Christ? Do not walk on this earth, as a man who knows the Bible, but generally it overwhelms him, because it takes away his freedom of life, so he must put some elements from the Bible aside so that they do not disturb him. The Bible is not a book to destroy us, but to save us. I want you to understand: often a liar thinks that he makes his life on earth easier by lying, he is not afraid of being in danger, because he believes that the lie will not be revealed, but also such a liar does not realize that he is blocking his way to eternity, because by lying he separates himself from eternal life. How many liars are there among believers? They think to themselves, "I made my life easier because I said that I would like to be at this meeting, but I couldn't," and that was not true, he preferred to use this time differently. God sees everything and knows the truth in every person for every situation. Liars will not enter eternity; God said so and amen. Don't make your life easier by lying to yourself that you can live this way and it will be okay. People lie to themselves about many things. What for? It is better to know God and use that what was sent with His Beloved Son to us.

 

In 2 Corinthians 11:3, the apostle Paul wrote these words:

"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."

 

This is the most important thing; either we dedicate ourselves fully to Christ, understanding that it is salutary for us, or we close ourselves to Christ, thinking that I am some kind of Christian and that will be enough. Understand that if you come to a meeting and are only a Christian, then you are only religious! But if you are a Christian all the time, without a break, then you belong to the Church. And when such a Church gathers, Christ is there among them, there is truth.

 

Luke 24: 25-27 and 44-45:

“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."(25-27)

 

"And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures."(44-45)

 

An important conclusion is written here for us: The Lord opened the minds of these people so that they could understand the Scriptures. This what they understood with the help of the Lord in the Old Testament, they now contain in the New Testament, and through this what they wrote down, we can understand the truth about Jesus Christ contained in the Old Testament. This is not written by unenlightened people, whose minds the devil has closed and cannot understand the simple things that Jesus spoke to them. Therefore, the Old Testament truth about Jesus Christ is also found in the Gospels, in the Acts of the Apostles, in the Letters, in the book of Revelation. Just as the Lord Jesus said that a scribe who enters the Kingdom of God is like that wise householder who first uses the new and then the old. For if you go into the Old Testament without the new one, the old one will draw you into that righteousness, which today has no meaning with God, and will lead you away from the righteousness that is in Christ. Many have already been so removed from the Lord Jesus Christ. How often the devil misuses Old Testament words, such as food, holidays, Sabbaths, circumcision, etc., to deceive people who do not know the New Testament. It imposes on them the burden of exercising the law under the guise of pleasing God, but this is wrong.

 

So we have people whom the Lord has opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. This is spiritual insight. While reading the New Testament, I am not finding the Nicene doctrine anywhere, not in one place I can find the findings of this council, the Bible does not confirm their teaching. The entire New Testament stands in opposition to the conciliar arrangements. Nowhere in the Bible do we find the apostles “revealingly” writing about it, as a biblical discovery, already using what the councilors had

instituted. Therefore, whoever reads and understands and keeps the Word in his heart bears fruit. It is written that those who do not love the truth will go mad and believe the lie. Truth gives liberty and freedom, but it is also hated on earth. The people who are under the greatest human pressures or powers, where Christianity is forbidden under the death penalty, are free because of Jesus Christ residing in them. They could die, but they were free, death no longer had control over them. Christ sets people free everywhere, he sets them free even in the largest and most repressive countries.

 

2 Peter 1:20:21, Peter writes:

“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

 

"no prophecy of the scripture is of any private." In the Acts of the Apostles, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Church and Peter opened his mouth to preach the Word of God, we can see how it was being preached, as Jesus sat at the right hand of the Father in heaven, and the Holy Spirit descended to earth. This is how a Church filled with the Holy Spirit preaches the gospel! It will not be changed until Jesus returns. This is the most powerful preaching: healthy, pure, holy and true. We see Peter who came to Cornelius and preached the words of life, what follow them. Where are the preaching of these great internet evangelists today? Find Peter or Paul among them! These apostles would not even want to sit in this group of false, hypocritical, mendacious teachers who are saying, it seems, great things, while not living the simple Word of God, which says very clearly that the devil will want to deceive even the elect. Only those who love the truth of the gospel recorded in the Bible do not argue with it using knowledge acquired from books, YouTube, stories or fairy tales, but rely, as sole authority, only on the Bible, those God will keep and carry out in the hour of trial. Whoever keeps this Word in his heart, understands and accept God's message, will win the battle thanks to God.

 

Therefore, it is important for you and me to understand that no biblical man of God, who is described in the Bible, no man of God, has ever thought of God except that God is One! Find at least one man of God in the Bible who thought otherwise. One God! All God's people who were filled by the Holy Spirit, and yet the Holy Spirit explores the depths of God and knows who God is; they all had the same thinking: ONE. To know Him, we need the work of the Word of God made flesh and the Spirit of God who was sent to guide us into this expensiveness, which is a precious treasure. I wish to emphasize that it is the highest honor that we may have to taste and get to know the One who set such a powerful plan before He created it all. It is no waste to lay down my life to stand before Him and look at Him. This is profit! That is why Jesus says: "Whoever gives his life to me, the one will gain it."

 

No man of God thought otherwise, and the Bible confirms it. Let's take a look at the behavior of Adam and Eve after they obeyed the devil.

 

Genesis 3: 8-10:

“And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

 

"I heard thy voice in the garden" - one God walked in the garden. Adam says: "I heard your rustle, yours walking in the garden."

 

Deuteronomy 6:4:

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD."

 

This is how Israel was taught from the very beginning - the Lord God Israel your God is one.  

 

Deuteronomy 32:11-12:

"As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him."

 

Malachi 2:10,15:

“Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? (….)"

 

“And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. "

 

We need the work of the Holy Spirit in us to understand this. You cannot get to know God in short cuts, cursorily. God is not known when you are proud and disobedient; in this way you will not know Him. Then you need books and preachers who preach sermons in a very expressive way, gesticulating and shouting, manipulating people, leading them to the so-called falling in spirit, teachers who demonstrate their strength by demonstratively trampling on the devil who really rules them. You will know God only when you want to obey Him. But you have to understand, in what I need to obey? That is why we get to know the Word of God, to know what God has called us to do, to obey Him, knowing how this obedience is expressed.

 

When we learn that there is the Word of God and there is the Spirit of God, it is obvious to us that like as the Word of God also the Spirit of God come from one God the Father. The Word and the Spirit are God in Him because from Him and through Him the Word is spoken and the Spirit is sent out. When you say a word, is the word an integral part of you or a separate entity? Is your spirit you or is it a separate person? The Word and the Spirit come from one God, therefore they are perfectly God. There is He Who speaks the Word and He who sends His Spirit, and that is One God the Father. He's the only one; no one else sent Him as the Spirit, and no one else said Him as the Word. One God speaks and works as He will. This is what God's Word teaches us.

 

John 1:1-4:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men."

 

So we see the Word in the beginning. When we read the Old Testament; God said and it happened. But we also see the Spirit of God there, full collaboration through the Word that God has spoken, and through the Spirit of God whom God has sent to get the work done as God willed it. In the book of Job we read:

"The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life." (Job 33:4)

We see Adam being made of the dust of this earth, who, fully formed, lies dead because he was not previously made alive, just as the dust of this earth from which he was formed is dead. But the breath of life that has been breathed into him makes him an active, living being as we are physically alive. It came directly from God.

 

Hebrews 11:3:

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

 

Everything was contained in the Word. When God said that everything was contained in this Word - as Paul writes about it in his Letter to the Colossians - all powers and things were contained in Him. We see the work of the Word - God spoke, and the work of God's Spirit. Without the Spirit of God, the enemy would destroy all mankind, when that Spirit filled people, they became different. Even Saul, Israel's first king, became a different man, a transformed man when God's Spirit came upon him. This is also how God called prophets, by filling them with His Spirit. All the time, the devil did not conquer the entire area of the earth, because people were constantly rising up here, by God's power, filled with God's truth.

 

John 1:14:

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

 

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. There are also many different teachings on this subject, but they are of no interest to me. Since Almighty God can do whatever He will, His Word can become flesh and walk among us, since nothing is impossible for God, I do not have to guess how it happened that Mary became pregnant. Some people suggest that Jesus was separate from Mary, etc. But the Son of God was really and truly in Mary's womb. He truly developed in her as we did, spending as many months in the womb as we did in our mothers' wombs. The Word has become flesh.

 

Romans 8:34:

“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us."

 

We know that the Word which was made flesh intercedes for us. Before who? Before God, Jesus intercedes for you and me.

 

Romans 8:26: We read about the Spirit of God here:

“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."

 

How powerful is the service of the Word and the Spirit, and today we have such a powerful and holy intercession before God and our Father. So what is our Father like? Holy! That is why so great and holy intercessors are needed, pleading for me and for you, that God will not kill us because of our recklessness, pride, hauteur and arrogance towards Him, and that we may arise from our bankruptcies. Therefore, there is no condemnation in Christ. The Lord gives the opportunity to run for our life. But if a man refuses to give up his sins, if he deliberately sins, there is no longer any possibility for him to purify himself in the blood of Christ. You cannot play with God and take Him lightly. We have the most powerful intercessors to God for us. It is written that Jesus, with His own blood, stands before the Father and intercedes for us that we may be cleansed. This is our Father. Many do not realize how holy He is. They say "Our Father" and go on to commit their sins. Remember what Jesus said to those people who said, "This God in heaven is our Father." He told them, "God in heaven is not your Father. Your father is the devil, because you want to do what your father does. "The devil is a liar, and they were like that. The devil was eager to murder those who stand in the truth, and they too were willing to murder Christ, and even more than once. The fruit of their lives showed that the devil is their father, not the Father in heaven. The fruit identifies whose son or daughter you are. The fruit shows: body or the Spirit.

 

While reading the Bible, we ask: "God, let me know." This is our plea: "Lord, without you I will go astray, I will not be able to walk on this wonderful and pure word of Yours. I will read it like a letter that will destroy me." If you want to know God, God is very fond of people who are eager to know Him, who are willing to leave many things to know Him, who give up many worldly pleasures to get to know Him, who say: "I have no time for this, because knowing God is for me more valuable and more important than all this." Many Christians have rested on their laurels after some years and think that they already know everything. Paul have written to Timothy: “Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.”(2 Timothy 1:13-14). Through the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth. “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” (2 Timothy 2: 2).

 

1 Corinthians 8:6:

"But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him."

 

When we read the New Testament, we see in it those people of God who prayed to God, thanked Him and always did it through Jesus Christ.

 

Romans 1:8-9:

“First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; "

 

Romans 7:25:

“I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."

 

Romans 16:27:

“To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen."

1 Corinthians 15:57:

"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

 

 Ephesians 5:20:

"Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;"

 

Nowhere in the Bible will you see an upside down situation. You will never see anyone pray like this: I thank Jesus Christ on behalf of God. We always come to God in the name of Jesus Christ. This is the only way. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the eternal life, and no one comes to the Father except through me." If we learn something from the Bible, it is an amen. There is no reversal, you cannot change it in any way. Either the truth gives me a guarantee of salvation, freedom, or I want to be deceived. Therefore, young believers should especially read the Word, learn the Word, not fantasize about It. A man reads a few letters, or a little bit from the Old Testament, and you is already making a teaching. He has a long way to teaching others before which he needs to know the whole Word and its spiritual message. Many people are driven by pride and hauteur today. They think they've got to know something and are doing something. And they rape, destroy what is beautiful, tear the Church in different directions, thinking that they are right, and they have not done the first thing yet: they have not yet abandoned their old "me", saucy, proud, arrogant, willful, lying, malicious and already undertake the lecture on sacred matters. Would Holy God allow such people to act like this? After all, the priests were to be ordained, and if they brought foreign fire, they died. And today, many people disregard God, and although they do not know Him, they think and they tell others that they already know something about Him.

 

I undertook to extract from the New Testament almost every place where the word: Son of God appears, so that we could see what emphasis the New Testament places on the fact that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, since our salvation depends on it. Nowhere there we can meet the Nicene creed on which, as many believe, our salvation depends. There is God's confession, true - whoever then confesses that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, will be saved. This is the most perfect confession, because believing that Christ is the Son of God means: beginning to worship Him, respect Him and listen to Him in everything. How many people worship Jesus Christ, respect Him and listen to Him in everything? Only those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and terrible punishment will befall the one who ignores the Son of God. God's vengeance will be terrible. The one who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God kneels and worships Him and listens to Him as the Son of God should be listened to. Real faith is not just some kind of "believing" in the Son of God, but it causes a man to fall on his face and say: "You are my Lord, for You are one, only begotten Son of God. The Father has given You everything." Remember, if your faith does not humble you before the Lord Jesus Christ, if you do not kneel before Him and confess Him to be your Lord, remaining in full obedience to Him, than this is no faith in the Son of God, only some human confession, without faith.

 

"Whoever does not listen to him will be lost out of the people." It's a simple thing. Obeying Him is more pleasing to God than sacrifice. Faith keeps you respectful to this Son of God, and people preach something completely different than He and His apostles and prophets, and they do not respect Him at all, acting in their lives as they want. For example, they go to some shooting ranges to shoot each other with paint and say that they are Christians. They drink, get drunk, play games, live in harlotry and adultery, all the time believing to be Christians. They bow to wooden, stone, plaster, and steel figures or paintings and believe they are Christians. After all, Christianity originates from the imitation of the Son of God, and its name from the pagans who, seeing them as followers of Christ Jesus, so called them.

 

Luke 1:30-35:

“And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshdow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren."

 

Matthew 3:16-17:

“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

 

Matthew 11:27:

"All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him."

 

No one can say, in his own spirit, the truth about the Father or the Son. Only the Father and the Son can fill us with the treasures of knowledge.

 

Matthew 14:33:

“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."

 

The Father who revealed, that it was His Son. Wonderful!

 

 Matthew 17:5:

"While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.!"

"And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God."

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

 

John 3:35-36:

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

This passage is about baptism.

"(...) and straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God."

 It is concerning Paul who was formerly an enemy and was converted by the Lord.

Romans 1:4:

"And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead"

 

Romans 5:10:

"For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

 

Romans 8:3,29,32:

"For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:" (3)

 

"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." (29)

"God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord."

1 Corinthians 15:28:

"And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all."

"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." (8 and 9)

 

Using different Bible translations, I observed how the translators changed the translation of this place in the Old and then in the New Testament. This is the quote from Psalm 45,6-7; and in the interlinear translation of Hebrew in the Old Testament it is written as follows: “Your throne [is] God forever and ever, a scepter of righteousness, [is] the scepter of Your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness, upon thus has anointed You God, Your God with the oil of gladness more than Your companions." And in the translation of Strong's Lexicon, this passage is translated as follows: “"Your throne, O God, [endures] forever and ever, [and] justice [is] the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, [has placed you above] your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.". "

"(...) If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."

 

Hebrews 7:28:

"For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore."

 

Hebrews 10:29:

"(...) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"

 

2 Peter 1:17:

"For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

 

1 John 1: 3,7:

“(…)That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. " (3)

 

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (7)

 

1 John 2: 22-24:

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father."

 

1 John 4:9-10;14-15:

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." (9.10)

 

“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God." (14.15)

 

1 John 5:5,9-13,20-21:

"Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" (5)

 

“If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." (9-13)

 

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen." (20.21)

 

This is precisely the case concerning the false images. A beautiful passage. Praise the God, that He had ordered that these passages would be written down. People may explain this in many different ways, but the beauty of this apostle's record is that when we read the entire New Testament - the words of Jesus and the apostles, we see the main purpose of Jesus Christ coming - to glorify the Father. When the words: "He is the true God and eternal life", it means that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, glorified the Father perfectly. God's Son is the perfect image of God. He is not a second God. He is the perfect image of God, perfectly visible to us, the true God and eternal life. We remember reading from John 17:3: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." - that was the greatest desire of the Son who accomplished this task perfectly. In the Son, we see the true God, I emphasize the true, not the other, but true, one God, who in the Son turns out to be perfectly all. Jesus Christ perfectly fulfilled all the task with which God the Father sent him to us. God is invisible, no one has ever seen and can see Him; no one can see Him yet (e.g. John 1:18; John 6:46; 1 Timothy 6:16; 1 John 4:12; Revelation 4: 1-11; 1 Kings 8:27; Acts 17:28). Even the angels in heaven have never seen this One God, which is why the devil managed to pull so many angels with him, just like people here on earth. But God wants to be visible. The first degree of visibility was revealed in His Son. The perfect Son, perfectly fulfilling the will of the Father, He has become this image, this image of the Father for us, now. When I see the Son, I see God. That is why the Son of God came to us.

 

In Hebrews 1: 3 it is said:

"Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;"

 

Here we see the Son of God at the right hand of the Father in the highest, on the throne of glory. How delightful all those who were in heaven were overwhelmed when they saw the book written inside and out, which has seven seals, and although there was no one worthy in heaven, neither on earth nor under the earth, who could take the book from God's hand and open its seals, they are delighted to see that there is one worthy who, after completing the entire task on earth, enters heaven and can take the book from God's hands and break its seals - this is the Son of God, God's Lamb Jesus Christ. The Book of Revelation has become for us and the angels an open book thanks to him. Jesus loves the Father so much that his only desire was that no one else in him should be seen except the Father. And it was perfectly done. By this I understand even better the commandment that has been spoken to us: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." I understand that by loving God in such a way, I will want to be completely for Him, so that He can reveal Himself to my neighbors through me. That is why later this is the second commandment: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.", so that the Father may show himself as He showed himself perfectly in his Firstborn Son, that the Father with his Son may be more and more clearly visible in me and in you. It is to love God with all heart, mind, soul and strength. I do not see anyone else more valuable, for whom it would be worth living on this earth at all, nor have I a more important purpose on this earth than to make the Son more and more visible through me. It is "sanctifying".

 

God says He only gives His Spirit to obedient sons, and who are these obedient sons? These are sons who embraced God's plan, which is that we are not to be like children of the devil, like him, but to be like children of God, like the Son, and through Him, be like to the Father in heaven. This is obedience. It cannot be expressed by coming to a meeting, singing a few songs, and reading a passage from the Bible. It is not enough. Do you want to be like Father, you son or daughter? Is your Father so precious to you that He has become more important than anything else and you want to be like Him? Do you need His Son so that as it is fulfilled in Him, it can also be done in you? Do you call on the name of Jesus to save you from everything that is not in you from the Father in heaven but still from the devil? This is salvation. This is glory. Do you realize that all this wonderful new heaven, new earth, will only be filled with those who are perfect like the Father. John writes wonderfully about this in his first letter, in the third chapter:

“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." (1 John 3: 1-3)

 

I understand why Jesus came, why the Word became flesh, what the Holy Spirit came for - to glorify the Son in us. This is why the Father works to make us all like His Son, obey the Father in everything, because the Father wants to have His entire family perfect, all His children perfect in eternity. And God will do it. Therefore it is written that He has made those who belong to Him perfect by one offering. Life on earth only makes sense when you love God above all else, because you want to be like Him, and God sends His Holy Spirit upon you. You are grafted onto the vine as a citizen of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. The Father, as a husbandman, looks after and cares that the fruit is worthy of Him and of His Son. Who will you be more like? To God, after all. He walks as the Father and, looking at you, He knows where needs to be cut off the wild boars in you so that the fruit is more and more, as the Father likes. Be merciful as your Father is merciful. Isn't that the highest dimension? Loving Him means wanting to be according to His will. This is how His Son loved Him, He always wanted to remain in the Father's will.

 

All this time there will be one God, one in all. When "all things are in submission to the Son, the Son will give everything to the Father, that the Father may be all in all." Our Father is perfectly pure, holy. This is a perfect and wonderful God who wants us to be like Him and to fellowship with Him for all eternity. Do you understand this, you precious man to God? This is not a game of church. You will be there or you will not be there. God does not condemn or frighten us, because He is the One who loved us to the end and gave us a wonderful Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who loved us and went to die for our sins. You can be sure that when you call on Him to be truly in accordance with the Father's will, He will help you. God's Son is true God and eternal life. And as true God and eternal life, He could sit on the throne next to the Father and He could say that those to whom God's Word had come are gods. This does not mean that they are some other gods, but it does mean that through the Word, the One who renounced it,  Is more and more heard and made visible in us.

 

I am delighted with it. Let Him do it. God said, "Rest, don't worry, but don't be disobedient, and don't be deceived by disobedient sons and daughters." For you know what will happen to disobedient sons and daughters. They will die, although they are sons and daughters, due to disobedience they will die as godless. That's what the Father said. Obedient sons and daughters purify themselves because they want to be like the Father and live with Him forever. Don't think that it's just about being a little better Christian. No! This matter concerns the most important issue in life, because “an unclean one will not enter eternity." So it must be Him, all in Christ only, that's what the apostle writes.

 

Acts 5:29-32:

“Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him."

 

Praise the Lord. Think about this brother, sister, think about this wonderful Father. Christianity is exaltation, it is glory beyond everything. Paul wrote that "among the enemies of the cross are those who think about earthly things." Think of the things above, where your Christ is sitting, rejoice in it. Do not think that you are already a completely refined vessel of God and that you can rest on your laurels and fall asleep calmly "in a Christian way". Remember that God has you in His hands all the time and is kneading you every second of your life for His glory. Love Him so that you will never want to be outside of Him anymore, never want to go into sin. Therefore, "God's children do not sin", they do not know how to sin, and if they sin, they immediately confess and remove the sin, because they do not want to walk in uncleanness. They know that this sin covers the image of the Father and the Son, in them. May God be with us on these important days. As long as we live on earth, there is hope that our minds and hearts will be clean and open, and that God's Word will speak to us more accurately. Read the New Testament, ponder what the Holy Spirit emphasizes in the New Testament, because it will help you understand the Gospel. Remember, your goal is not to be a little better Christian. You are to be like Christ, and Christ is like the Father, and therefore to be like the Father. Praise the Lord. May the Holy Spirit help you in this.

 

Let God, through His Holy Spirit, fill each of us with His truth, so that, in accordance with His truth, everything in us may be as He wants. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
