Created Anew One Body in Christ Jesus

~ No one is a law keeper today. Yet people pretend that they are. Or they pretend that they are trying to keep the law, without having a clue what the law really was to begin with. Folks, everything under the old covenant was the law. And there was only one person that ever kept the law perfectly, and that Person is Jesus, God in the flesh, himself. For He alone fulfilled the law for us, so that in Him we could become the righteousness of God. Now you would think that would be great news for everyone, but most everyone gives lip service to Truth. They deny the finished of work of Jesus on the cross. They deny His fulfillment of the Law. And they are out there trying to do what God has already done. And people actually think nothing wrong of it, for they promote ministries left and right that teach this HUGE lie of satan, that of ongoing forgiveness by God. And the reason they promote these con artist ministries is because most ALL ministries today are conning the masses with the lies of Satan. So it’s time to stop promoting them, and start sharing Truth yourself. Simply quote the word of God. Tell it like it is. Don’t get hooked into sharing the cons no matter what other Truths you think they are sharing. Because it’s a guarantee, that if they are not teaching the TRUTH of this foundation, that forgiveness is finished by God, you can bet that they are selling other bigger lies too. And ask God to show you what those lies are today. Because nothing is as it seems. And we were all born into a world filled with lies. And never think that satan could not con you, for we were all conned from birth with the lies of satan has for the world, including what our parents were taught too and passed on down to us and we likewise passed on down to our children the lies of satan and the world through our very words and actions also. Time to repent and change your mind on the Truth of what is happening today. Ask for wisdom and understanding from God, and He will give it with great abundance without finding fault.

~ “And you, being dead in your trespasses and sins— in which once you walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience, among whom we all also once lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the things willed of the flesh and of its thoughts; and we were by nature children of wrath even as the rest.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, made us alive with Christ even we being dead in trespasses—by grace you are saved— and He raised us up together and seated us together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

For by grace you are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:1-9

…..

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone.

~ “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12

~ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?” John 11:25,26
—

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

~ “Jesus never, ever entered into the holy of holies. He’s God. Seems like he ought to be able to get in there. Why didn’t he go in because under the law that was for the Levites to go in there, and Jesus wasn’t a Levite. That was only for the Levitical priesthood able to go. In the Holy of Holies, Jesus wasn’t out of that. What happened to that curtain? Torn from the top to the bottom that enables all now to go into the Holy of Holies, calling him what? Daddy, Father. Can you do that under the law? Under the law, unless you’re a Levite priest, you’re not going to go in there. And that’s why it said Jesus didn’t go into the Holy of Holies that was made with man by man. He went into heaven itself, there not to present his blood over and over and over again. It says, the way the high priests do, which can never take away sin but one time and for all.” ~ Bob George

So we were not created by God. Adam and Eve were created by God. We were born from mom and dad, weren’t we? Now, if any man be in Christ, he is, what a new what? Creation. So now, at spiritual birth, is a new creation. Now I’m created. I’m born spiritually of who? God. You and I that’s why it’s called Born Again, of the what? Spirit. Now that is a creation of God. It is not a birth of man. No man can ever be born again spiritually at the will of mom and dad. You are created anew by God. That’s a new creation. In that new creation is that by natural birth, I’m a Gentile, but now I’m a new creation called a what? Child of God. I my natural heritage is that of being a HEBREW, but now I’ve been recreated into what a child of God. So there’s a new creation. I was born Gentile. I was born HEBREW, but now I’m a new creation. What am I now called? A child of the living God, both HEBREW and Gentile, slave and free. There is no HEBREW, there is no Gentile, there is no slave, there is no free. We have now become what? One in Christ, Jesus, a brand new creation. Now, if I’m a brand new creation, do I want to keep hanging on to my Gentile heritage? If I’m a new creation, do I want to keep hanging on to my HEBREW heritage? Am I very proud of being a HEBREW or proud of being a Gentile? No, I’m proud of being a child of God. I wouldn’t care if I was a HEBREW or a Gentile or a spaghetti tree. I’m a child of God. Now that’s that’s who I am now. How’d I get to be that? A new creation, not born created by God. This is God’s workmanship. This isn’t mom and dad’s workmanship. I could look at mom and dad’s workmanship in regard to being, say they could have done better, but when I see God’s workmanship, you can’t improve on that. We have been created in Christ, Jesus to what? Do Good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. How many of the things that we’re doing today do you think shocks God? He prepared in advance, and I have to look at that in my own life, and that’s who I can speak of authoritatively. I have to say that in some strange way and a strange sense of humor, that he chose that I would be doing what I’m doing today. That’s all I can say about that. Why? You got me he could have, should have chosen somebody smarter. He could have chosen a lot of things I could think of. He chose to do what I’m doing today. He chose you to be doing what you’re doing today. It was chosen for the foundation of the earth.

He had Amy prepared for all this, especially for what we’re doing today, because we’re about as popular as the Titanic in regard to the establishment, religious establishment, in this world. So he’s prepared her for rejection, and I got prepared for rejection, or whatever it might be. I don’t mean that someone’s there rejecting you all the time. You just realize it’s just there. I did an interview one time with Dave Hunt. For the interview, he sat down and said, Let’s get controversial. I said, Get controversial. You don’t have to get controversial. We are controversial.

Now, He prepared that in advance for us to do now, folks, I’m going to digress there just a minute because of that. A lady called the other night, and we were talking about rewards and all this type of thing. And, and her deal was, well, the more you do you know, the more rewards you’re going to get. And, and she said, Well, you mean someone like yourself, who leads people to Christ, that you’re not going to get more rewards than somebody else? And of course not. Of course not. If God had this little twig on the vine, this little twig up there, and said, Twiggy, I want you to abide in me. And when you do, you’re going to bear one little grape out of your twig. And Twiggy says, Okay. And Twiggy abides in the vine, and one little grape comes out. What kind of reward she going to get? 100% I ask you to bear the fruit of one grape. And you did it. Got another branch down there and says, big lug, I want to hang a hang 100 grapes on you, but in order to do that, you’re gonna have to abide in me. So the big lug abides in the vine and all of a sudden bears the fruit of 100 grapes. Which one’s gonna get most rewarded? Neither one of most. They’ll be equally rewarded. The big lug did what God asked him to do, abide in the vine. And the vine says, I’ll produce the fruit. And to the twig, it says, abide in the vine, and I will also produce the fruit. And both are equally rewarded.

So if we think BG is going to be up there with more rewards, because you know, if God called BG to preach to 1000s and to lead 1000s to Christ. And he’s done that. He’ll get the same reward that he might have called you, to give a cup of water in the name of Jesus to somebody.

And so when you’re talking about this whole deal, God has given you and created you in Christ, Jesus to do good works, which God prepared, prepared in advance for you to do. I don’t think there’s any accidents. We had a we had a at the conference. And we also have a guy that was out of the Mennonite religion around Indiana, and they come to Canton and have a little restaurant out there. And even though his wife still wears the little caps on the head and all that type of thing, strictly because of the restaurant, because they have come to know Christ, they’ve come to know the grace of God, and totally pulled out of that legalistic background that they were in and are really proponent, proponents of teaching of the grace of God, great big old guy, well, he was here for the rest or deal out in Canton, and brought a young man with him. His name was Jacob. What? What? Name was, that’s what it said. His name was, Daniel, yeah, yeah, the Bible. I knew as a Bible name one of those guys. So Daniel, sweet guy, and he also Mennonite whole family, just, he is Amish. You know, that’s in Amish country. I was in industry in Amish country, out in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. And, man, they couldn’t, they couldn’t have anything on their buggies. They could there’s, it had to be total black. And, man, those poor people would be driving at night, and they couldn’t even put reflectors on, and they’d just get wiped out right and left by cars going around the corner, just wiping them out because they couldn’t see them. And finally, they allowed reflectors, very reluctantly, to put it put on the back of their buggy so that people could see them. But it’s that kind of a thing, because a shiny bumper would be worldly. So that’s how legalistic that type of thing is. Well, the big old guy from Indiana had a part that was missing on his car when he got here, and they couldn’t get the part, and it caused him two days delay. He had to stay right across the street. Well, he brought Daniel over, and Daniel just, I mean, he just couldn’t get enough of that radio program. He watched it. And they were at the state fair one day, and he is saying, I want to get back at 3:30 get that radio program, really interested. And so the last day that he was there because they were going to get their car fixed the very next day, they were over watching the radio program, and after the three o’clock to four program, I just came in, sat down, and we talked for quite a long time, and finally asked Daniel about his relationship with the Lord and and I could, I could see, I said, Daniel, I can see the interest that you have, and you would not have that interest unless God’s drawn you unto himself. And finally, we sat there and and I just asked, Daniel, are you ready to, by faith, accept the living Christ into your heart? Because you know what that means. You’re going to be ostracized by your family. You’re probably going to be kicked out of the family. If you’re living in an area where that’s all Amish, or an area that’s all Mennonite, and try to go into business, you may as well forget it.

So this is not one of these easy decisions. This is a decision that will change your life in many, many ways, totally marvelously in regard to your spiritual life, but your physical life, you’re going to go through some trials and tribulation. And he said, Well, I’m ready to accept the Lord. And he did. Now I want to ask you, do you think God knew all about that, and do you think it was just a coincidence that the part was not in his car and he couldn’t get it for two days, not at all, and neither did he after we look back on it, the guy say, I kept wondering. Kept saying, God, how come that dumb car is broken down? He said, Now I know, so that his friend could come to the Lord. So we have to realize that folks that these things are prepared in advance for us, and that’s why I say there’s nothing new under the sun to God, he’s already given us everything we need. And what faith is is, Lord, get me in on the action. Let me be discerning enough to know what the action is, to know what I should be doing. And what I should be saying at a specific time not to be getting a bunch of rewards, as some people work for, because if you’re working for a reward, you’re not going to get one. They say that all that stuff, of these works will be burnt. All of your works will be tested by fire, and so you’ll have a match put to all of these things we’ve done with our self effort, and it’ll just be an ash pile. Then we’ll be standing up there saying, My ash pile is bigger than your ash pile. But there will be no rewards for self effort, only those things we’ve allowed Christ to do in and through us.

Now, therefore and again. When you see a therefore, you ask, what’s it there for? Therefore, because of what we just are talking about, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called uncircumcised by those who call themselves the circumcision that done in the body by the hands of men. Remember, remember all of you Gentiles, that at that time, you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise. You were without hope. You were without God in the world. That’s encouraging. And now the but comes. But, now, do you see that what this is all about guys? He’s talking to Gentiles. And he’s saying Gentiles, there was a time when you were excluded from all these things. You You were separate from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship in Israel. You were foreigners to the covenants. Had no idea about an Old Covenant, a New Covenant, it’s what we talk about in regard to the old and New Covenant. The law was never, ever, ever given to the Gentiles. We, like a bunch of dummies, have grabbed that law that was given to the HEBREWS, dragged it over into so called Christianity, and that’s all a part of our Christian faith.

God never gave it to you. When you use something that God never gave you, you are misusing something. And so the law that was given to Israel was given to Israel. It was the Old Covenant. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel. It was a covenant of law. Here are my laws obey them. And the wages of disobedience is what? Death. Never, ever given to the Gentile. The HEBREW had to take off the old in order to put on the New Covenant, they were under the Old Covenant. In order to put on the New Covenant, they had to take off the Old Covenant, take off their clothes, put on a new set of clothes. The gentile was standing there naked. He had nothing to take off, only to put on when the HEBREW took off the old and put on the new he had he was now in the New Covenant when the Gentile had on nothing and put on the new he was now a member, both of them of the same New Covenant, both of them now as one body in Christ.

Now therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called uncircumcised, remember that that time separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel, foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope, without God in this world. But now in Christ, Jesus, you, who were once far away, have been brought near through what? Through the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace. Who has made the two one? Who’s the two? HEBREW and Gentile. What is the one we’ve been made? A church called the ecclesia, the called out ones, children of God. Now in order to do this, folks, look what he did. He destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing, in his flesh, the law, with its commandments and regulations. If the law was not abolished, could the two of us be made as one? Not according the Word of God. And that’s one of the reasons Satan keeps wanting us to keep under the law, because as long as the law is active, the two of us could not become as one.

What do you have today? You have the Orthodox J@@ hanging on to that law and all of their traditions still handling the laws on top of laws on top of laws on top of laws on top of laws. You have the legalistic Christian world over here, so called Christian world. That’s a that’s a bad term, and they’re hanging on to the law, hanging on to their law. You see, it’s not saying We don’t like these J@@ish laws over there, and the J@@ish laws don’t like these. We might agree on the 10, but the rest of them, no way. Here’s Gentiles over here hanging on to the law. Here’s the J@@s over here, hanging on the law. I want to ask you they were going to become as one? Never, never. You’re not keeping the law the way we think. I’ve interpreted it in the first place. If you got a law, you got to have an interpretation. So now you got the Gentile interpretation. You got the J@@ish interpretation. Gentile under the law, doesn’t go over there to Israel and not push a button on the Sabbath. Now, they believe in the Sabbath, but we can push buttons to get up and down the elevator. Not the Orthodox J@@, he’s got to get on a sabbat elevator and let it go up to the top automatically, and then stop automatically all the way down. Gentile law keeper, he can spit on the ground. You can he’s got to spit on a rock on the Sabbath. Now, I could go on and on. You see what I’m talking as long as law is there and law has to be interpreted. The two are never going to become one. There will always be a dividing wall of hostility as long as you’re under the law. So you see, there’s more to it, when you’re talking about being dead to the law, than just a theological deal. It’s the only way that you’re going to see HEBREW and Gentile come into oneness under grace. Is that God’s desire for that to occur? Why absolutely. Jesus never, ever entered into the holy of holies. He’s God. Seems like he ought to be able to get in there. Why didn’t he go in because under the law that was for the Levites to go in there, and Jesus wasn’t a Levite. That was only for the Levitical priesthood able to go. In the Holy of Holies, Jesus wasn’t out of that. What happened to that curtain? Torn from the top to the bottom that enables all now to go into the Holy of Holies, calling him what? Daddy, Father. Can you do that under the law? Under the law, unless you’re a Levite priest, you’re not going to go in there. And that’s why it said Jesus didn’t go into the Holy of Holies that was made with man by man. He went into heaven itself, there not to present his blood over and over and over again. It says, the way the high priests do, which can never take away sin but one time and for all.

And so that dividing line of hostility had to be torn apart in order to make the two of us as one so by abolishing in his flesh, the law with its commandments and regulations, he’s destroyed that barrier and made peace now by making the two of us as one, he fulfilled the law with its commandments, and now it says that He abolished it. Is that pretty clear? Now, why did he do this? Well, it tells us. The purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two. You got an old man and an old man. You got an old HEBREW and you got an old Gentile. What do you want to do? I want to make a new man out of the two, and thus making peace and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, no man will ever be reconciled to God through obedience to the law. It says in the scripture, no Gentile will ever be reconciled to God through anything he does. Both HEBREW and Gentile were going to come to Christ the same way, and that’s through what? The cross, through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility through the cross. There’s no more HEBREW or Gentile Now, folks, even to this day, and that’s why I take exception with that. You do not sit down there and say, Oh, we’re born again Christians, but let’s all the HEBREWS get together over here, and let’s all the Christians get together over here. That is not a picture of what he’s talking about here, is it? It’s not a picture. Well, we still need to keep the commands, and you’ve got HEBREW and Gentile both in there, and you’ve got Gentiles and certain people in denominations that we need to keep all the holidays, and we need to keep all of this, and we keep the Sabbath, and then the HEBREWS keep the Sabbath, but you don’t keep the Sabbath as good as we keep the Sabbath hostility, just like this. Why? Because of your laws, that’s why, because you haven’t seen what Jesus said, and that is, I’ve torn down that wall. I’ve counseled the law. I’ve abolished it so that the two of you can worship not through the law, but worship through the grace of Christ, Jesus, both HEBREW and Gentile alike. The wall of hostility is down where you have a law, you do not have peace, you’re always adding to it.

You got over here with the one group, and they got their little laws. Liquor shall never touch the lips. You’d better not dance. You better not do this. Got another group over there said, I can do better than that. We don’t even eat pork. You got another group I can do better than that. We worship on Saturday. Well, I can do better than that. And it goes on and on and on. And what does that create? Hostility. The very hostility that God said I came and died to eliminate. As long as there’s law, there’s no peace and there’s no unity, because under the law, you’re always trying to improve on it, interpret it different. It creates pride, I’m doing more than you are, or self condemnation, I’m not doing as much as they are. It creates comparing yourself by yourself, which the Bible says that he who compares himself by himself is a fool, and it creates every type of evil in the name of Christ, Jesus, when we do not understand what he came to do. And so he was put to death. His death is what brought this about. And once again, it’s saying, I don’t care, Jesus, whether you died or not to do that. I’m going to do it my way. He came and preached peace to you who are far away, who’s that? The Gentile and peace to those who were near. Who’s that? The HEBREW. For through him, we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Consequently, you, who’s that? Gentiles are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people. Where’s our citizenship? In Israel? In America? Where is it? In Heaven, we are now citizens with God’s people. Our citizenship is heaven. That’s why we’re called ambassadors here on this earth and members of God’s household, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ, Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone, we’re new citizens, built upon something new guys. Christianity is not an extension of anything. Otherwise Jesus and his apostles could not be called foundation. It’d be called a sub floor. A foundation is a foundation. That’s what you build your house on. Our house is not built on HEBREWISM. Our house is not built on anything except Jesus.
