All scripture text comes from the authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible. However, sometimes wherever it is practical, words such as “thou” and “ye” have been replaced with “you”. And words such as “shalt” have been replaced with “shall”. Also, some scriptures have certain “( )” around words that have been inserted in order to amplify or rather emphasize the integrity and revelation of the Divine scriptures.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, HE THAT BELIEVES ON ME HAS EVERLASTING LIFE.” John 6:47

“You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalm 16:11

“But the word is very nigh unto you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it. See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command you this day to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments and statutes and his judgments, that you may live and multiply: and the LORD your God shall bless you in the land wither you go to possess it”, ”….I

7

have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto salvation to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVES;

Preface

Jesus said the following:

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE. He that BELIEVETH and is baptized shall be saved; but he that BELIEVETH NOT shall be damned.” Mark16:15-16

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that hears my word, and BELIEVES on him (God the everlasting Father) that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24

“If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” Mark 7:16

12

“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:44

My dear friend, “every creature” deserves THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THIS MESSAGE.

But, I challenge, “EVERY CREATURE” who hears this message, to “MAKE THE CHOICE” to, BELIEVE IT.

Take heed; for, you are about to hear THE LIGHT of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. The salvation of your soul depends upon it.

A Prayer for You

Oh Father, this book has the heart of the blessed gospel of your holy child Jesus Christ. May those who read it be eternally changed by its content.

Surely YOU ARE THE ONE expressing yourself through one of your ministers.

This vessel realizes that there is nothing more beautiful than the praise of God.

This vessel realizes that EVERY SUCCESS that he has ever had, and has, and ever will have, is all based within the explanation of the message of this book.

14

Jesus said,

“If you love me, feed my lambs.” John 21:15b.

We all need to be reminded of the GREAT PASSION that you have towards the story of your holy child Jesus (the gospel of the Kingdom of God); and how you worked through Jesus – while he was living on earth; and, how you are still working – and always will be working throughout those that are IN HIM, his body, the church, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST.

“Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, WORLD WITHOUT END. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20

Oh Father, we are the bride of your holy child Jesus Christ! We will

15

celebrate this reality throughout the eons of time!

Speak to the Church through this book, Father. And let all those reading its contents that do not know you, come to the knowledge of the truth of your Word, and be saved. I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Did You Know This Good News?

18

Hey friend, “THE JUDGMENT OF HELL” IS REAL; but, did you know; that, you do NOT have to go there?

Why? It is because Jesus already went there, FOR YOU!

He already paid for YOUR SINS!

The gospel declares: God’s judgment of his Son Jesus Christ on the cross, in which he died, as he suffered in our PLACE, that through faith in him, we will never have to FACE!

He ALREADY SUFFERED God’s judgment and God’s WRATH of sin on your BEHALF!

No matter what you have done, whatever it was, the full penalties of those sins HAVE BEEN PAID!

19

“And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.” Hebrews 10:17

The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ declares that he DOES NOT EVEN REMEMBER YOUR SINS!

GOD HAS FORGIVEN YOUR SINS!

When Jesus died for you, he redeemed you unto God. The SALVATION of your soul became a reality!

“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.” Ezekiel 18:4

Because God had FORGIVEN EVERY ONE OF THEIR SINS, there was NOT A NEED to judge them anymore.

20

Please understand; that, what has happened through the life of Jesus, is real.

JESUS CHRIST HAS ACCOMPLISHED THE GIFT OF SALVATION FOR YOU!

Since Jesus paid for your sins, then all that you have to do is to ACCEPT the pardon!

All you have to do is to BELIEVE the pardon!

BELIEVE, for example that Jesus died in YOUR PLACE!

BELIEVE that he suffered on YOUR BEHALF!

BELIEVE that the everlasting Father judged Jesus Christ guilty of YOUR

21

SINS – so that, you would never have to face them, AGAIN!

BELIEVE that; since Jesus did all of these things for you; THAT, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THEM! HE DID IT – SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO!

If I could only get you to see the future! If I could only get you to see what happens when one dies!

“Death” itself means “separation”. When one dies, his or her spirit leaves the house of flesh and blood, and instantly goes to heaven or hell.

Where are you headed?

You can know where you are headed, if you know who you are. However, if

22

you don’t know where you are headed; then you, my friend, are LOST!

A spiritually “lost person” is someone who is “subject” to THE ONE (Satan) who has been judged by God – as the enemy, of all of God’s creation. Yes, Satan is his name; and, he hates you. His desire is to both ruin and to destroy your life.

But there is HOPE. That HOPE is eternal life.

Jesus Christ described eternal life as:

“…that they might know thee the only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3b.

23

No one, WHO TRUST’S IN JESUS, will ever have to stand before God and be judged FOR THEIR SINS!

If you will BELIEVE THIS GOSPEL, you can inherit the SALVATION that this gospel proclaims!

Jesus died for YOUR SALVATION!

The Lord Jesus himself said:

“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.” John 3:16.

It is also said,

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God MUST BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a

24

rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

Again, Jesus speaking:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3

Again, Jesus speaking: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

Heaven Awaits You

My friend, heaven awaits you!

You can go there when you die!

You must understand that a place has been prepared for you there.

25

Jesus said,

“…I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO.” John 14:2b-3.

Questions

1. Why does no one have to go to hell?

2. Concerning the good news, what is meant by “the judgment of God”?

3. Concerning man’s sins, what is the

Father’s message to the world?

27

The Divine Life and Mission

of Jesus

28

“Even as the Son of man came…to give his life a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28

All of these things are possible because of what Jesus accomplished in our name.

Again, said Jesus,

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14

It is written,

“…Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and thou shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14b

It is written,

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and

29

shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:23

It is written,

“…that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she (Mary) shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people FROM THEIR SINS.” Matthew 1:20b-21

“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a VIRGIN espoused to a man who name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the VIRGIN’S NAME was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, you are highly favored, the Lord is

30

with you: blessed are you among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not Mary: for you have found favor with God. And, behold, you SHALL CONCIEVE in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and OF HIS KINGDOM THERE SHALL BE NO END. Then said Mary unto the angel, how shall this be, seeing I KNOW NOT A MAN? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost

31

shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you, therefore also that holy thing which shall be BORN OF YOU shall be called the Son of God.” Luke 1:26-35

“A VIRGIN”, “CONCEIVED IN HER WOMB” – NOT FROM THE SEED OF MAN, BUT FROM THE SEED OF GOD!

A “VIRGIN”, “GAVE BIRTH” TO “A SON”!

That Son, was NOT AN ORDINARY SON!

He was called, and is, THE SON OF THE HIGHEST!

His name was called, and is, JESUS!

32

JESUS CHRIST is THE SON OF THE HIGHEST!

He is THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD!

SALVATION is available!

FREEDOM FROM YOUR SINS is available!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of

33

the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the BABE wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now

34

go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord has made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger; and when they had seen it, THEY MADE KNOWN ABROAD THE SAYING WHICH WAS TOLD THEM CONCERNING THIS CHILD. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.” Luke 2:8-20

Friend, did you know these things?

35

Have you ever heard such GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY?

Do you realize that this message applies to ALL PEOPLE?

It does not matter if you are rich, or poor!

It does not matter what you’re race or nationality is!

“…for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, AND TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, AND NATION;” Revelation 5:9b

It does not matter what your gender is!

36

No matter you’re culture, or ethnicity, it makes no difference! So, this little baby boy child; whose name, is JESUS, was and is THE MIGHTY GOD!

He was and is THE PRINCE OF PEACE!

He was and is THE EVERLASTING FATHER!

He was BORN OF A VIRGIN!

He was CONCEIVED, BY A MIRACLE, OF THE HOLY GHOST!

He is THE DIVINE SON OF THE LIVING GOD!

What was his mission? His mission was TO MAKE A WAY for all creatures to choose or “Make the

37

Choice” to be redeemed BACK UNTO A RELATIONSHIP with the everlasting Father.

38

Questions

1. How was Jesus’ birth and conception different from man’s?

2. To whom does this good news

apply? 3. Why is Jesus the Son of The Living

God?

39

God’s Original Plan

40

The first of mankind - Adam and Eve, even every creature now and today, were given a choice or a will. This choice or will allowed them to go along with God as far as they wanted to.

This is the way that it is with you and me today, my friend.

God’s plan has always been trust.

Why? It is very simple. You see, if between Adam and Eve and God the Father, there was dignity, and between Adam and Eve and the Father there was honor; and between Adam and Eve and God the Father there were relations with each other, then the only bottom line was TRUST. What else could there have been?

41

God’s original plan with man was explained like this:

YOU TAKE ME AT MY WORD, AND I’LL TAKE YOU AT YOUR WORD.

YOU TRUST ME, AND I’LL TRUST YOU.

YOU CAN BANK ON MY WORD, AND I’LL BANK ON YOUR WORD.

Satan’s Simple Strategy

This “Trust” between Adam and Eve and the Father was what Satan had to mess up.

All that Satan did and what he is still doing today, is to blind people from seeing, believing, knowing, and understanding the truth.

42

Jesus called him: “the father of lies” - Saying, “…..for he (Satan) is a liar and the father of it.” John 10:44c

Satan’s message is the opposite of Jesus’.

His approach to the human race can be summarized in this saying: “WHAT GOD SAID, HE DIDN’T MEAN”.

This lie implies that The everlasting Father is a liar. But the father of all lies is Satan.

Jesus said,

“The thief (Satan) comes not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they (you and me) might have life, and that

43

they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

The Fall of Man

When Adam and Eve exercised their CHOICE TO BELIEVE the prince of darkness, they became sons of darkness.

Since they BELIEVED Satan, they became enslaved to him.

They went from sons of light and to doing the works of God, to sons of darkness and to doing the works of Satan.

To prevent this event from being an eternal hopeless case, God himself would have to step in.

44

But, I wonder just WHAT WOULD IT TAKE to restore and redeem mankind back unto The everlasting Father?

If The everlasting Father were to make a way for this to happen, WOULD HIS CREATION COME OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS GLORIOUS LIGHT?

The everlasting Father knows all things.

“FOR EVERYONE THAT DOES EVIL HATES THE LIGHT, NEITHER COMES TO THE LIGHT, LEST HIS DEEDS SHOULD BE REPROVED.” John 3:20

45

Jesus Christ has made OUR ETERNAL REDEMPTION a possibility. And now – right now, it is a vital reality.

God’s Faith in Mankind

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and disease among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was MOVED WITH COMPASSION on them, because they were fainted, and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd.” Matthew 9:35-36

It is written,

“…GOD IS LOVE.” I John 4:8b

46

It is written,

“…everyone that loves, is born of God, and knows God.” I John 4:7b.

Jesus said,

“Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

It is written,

“…faith…works by love.” Galatians 5:6b

47

Questions

1. What was God’s original plan?

2. How is Satan’s message the opposite of Jesus’ message?

3. When man fell, what did the

Father have to do to fix it?

48

49

Man’s Redemption

50

Again, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE to restore and redeem mankind back unto the Everlasting Father?

The Answer is:

IT WOULD TAKE THE SACRIFICE OF THE BODY AND SOUL OF JESUS CHRIST, HIMSELF.

“So Christ was once offered to bare the sin of many…” Hebrews 9:28

The Actual and Vital Death of Jesus

What Satan viewed as victory, was actually crucial to mankind’s salvation. When Jesus died, everyone thought that God had turned his back on him.

51

The Bible says:

“Surely he hath borne OUR griefs, and CARRIED OUR sorrows: yet we did esteem him SMITTEN, STRICKEN OF GOD, and afflicted.” Isaiah 53:4

But then it says,

“But HE was wounded for OUR transgressions, he was bruised for OUR iniquities: the chastisement of OUR peace was upon him; and WITH HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and THE LORD HATH LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL.” Isaiah 53:5-6

52

So, what seemed to be a defeat was actually being accomplished, on OUR behalf.

Again, No one, who trust’s in Jesus, will ever have to stand before God and be judged for their sins.

Why? Because that is exactly what Jesus did when he died; He was judged - for OUR sins! He took our place!

WHAT HE DID ON OUR BEHALF, WE DO NOT HAVE TO DO!

So, if you will BELIEVE IT, our sins, are a thing of the past!

This is the gospel of the kingdom of God!

53

Change your way of thinking! Why should one stay living in sin?

BELIEVE with the Faith that God has given each and everyone of us!

Jesus said, “And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that EVERY ONE which sees the Son, and BELIEVES on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:39-40

Again, Jesus speaking: “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:44

54

Again, Jesus speaking: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, HE THAT BELIEVES ON ME HAS EVERLASTING LIFE.” John 6:47

The Blood of Jesus

“But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more than, being NOW JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:8-9

Today, many people, particularly from major world religions claim that Jesus was a good man – who did good deeds. And, that he meant well.

In other words, there is no difference between him and any other prophet such as Buddha, Mohammed, or Confucius.

55

They claim that Jesus was an ordinary man. But if this were true, than Jesus – whom they say was AN ORDINARY MAN, was UNQUALIFIED to die for them.

Why is this? The answer is simply the fact that AN ORDINARY MAN, like you and me, has ORDINARY BLOOD.

But neither Jesus, nor his blood was ORDINARY!

If Jesus and his blood were ordinary, then why not make the assumption something like this:

For example, (let’s pretend that) he must have had some sin in his life – that, he must have been working secretly for Satan.

56

(Let us further pretend that) he must have been born in order to deceive the whole world into believing in mankind’s Creator.

(Let us further pretend that) he must have promoted the god of self – that, he must have healed multitudes of people from every kind of sickness and disease among the people – all for show. Is this right? It is NOT.

Truly THE DIFFERENCE is the Divinity of Jesus’ blood!

“For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats SHOULD TAKE AWAY SINS.” Hebrews 10:4

57

If you are reading this book and you love darkness, than my message to you is:

REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL!

Heaven awaits you; but, what will you CHOOSE?

What will you BELIEVE?

Jesus said,

“And this is the condemnation; that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness RATHER THAN LIGHT. For everyone that does evil HATES THE LIGHT, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth, COMES TO THE LIGHT, that his deeds should be

58

made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19–21

Woe to those who BLAME their sins on their religion!

Woe to those who BLAME their sins on their tradition!

Woe to those who BLAME their sins on another man – JUSTIFYING THEMSELVES as being excused from their OWN deeds and actions! Such live a bitter life – hating the hypocrite.

Jesus said,

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like unto whited (white) sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, BUT ARE WITHIN FULL OF

59

DEAD MEN’S BONES, AND OF ALL UNCLEANNESS. Even so, you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.” Matthew 23:27-28

Jesus said,

“Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” Matthew 23:33

Such have no hope. But there is hope.

The blood of Jesus gives you hope!

Jesus’ blood was NO ORDINARY BLOOD.

It was DIFFERENT.

60

But how, you may ask was the difference? The difference is plain and clear:

It had NO SIN!

It was HOLY!

It was PURE!

It was GOD’S OWN Blood!

Do you want more proof?

It was NOT the seed of man – IT WAS THE SEED OF GOD!

“Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by HIS OWN BLOOD, he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption FOR US.” Hebrews 9:12

61

The Glorious Gospel of Christ

Because THE ANSWER to mankind’s redemption was A DIVINE INTERVENTION, than that same divine intervention had to be PERFECT.

“For by one offering hath he PERFECTED FOREVER them (You and me) that are sanctified.” Hebrews 10:14

The offering of the body and soul of Jesus was PERFECT!

If his sacrifice was not perfect, we could never have any hope – especially for the issue of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life!

62

“…for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God BY THY BLOOD out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Revelation 5:9b “…Worthy is the Lamb to receive power, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.” Revelation 5:12b

“But this man, (Jesus Christ) after he had offered ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOR EVER, (OURS) sat down on the right hand of God.” Hebrews 10:12

“…Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” Revelation 5:13b

63

“…Behold the Lamb of God WHICH TAKES AWAY the SIN of the world.” John 1:29b

JESUS DIED AS OUR LAMB!

JESUS TOOK AWAY THE “SIN” OF THE WORLD! THAT INCLUDES OUR SIN, BOTH YOURS, AND MINE!

“Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Romans 5:12

“But not as the offense, (the fall of man) so also is the free gift.” Romans 5:15a

That “free gift” is eternal life; which is available unto ALL creation!

64

Yes, THE GIFT of eternal life is AVAILABLE UNTO ALL CREATION!

THE GIFT of eternal life is AVAILABLE TO YOU AND ME! “For if through the offence of one (the fall of man, Adam) many (ALL PEOPLE – YOU AND ME) be DEAD, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many (ALL PEOPLE – YOU AND ME). And not as it was by one (Adam) that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one (Adam) to condemnation (and eternal death), but the free gift (ETERNAL LIFE) is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man’s offence (Adam’s offense) death reigned by one (Adam); much more they (ALL PEOPLE –

65

YOU AND ME), which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore as the offense of ONE JUDGMENT (Adam) came upon all men (ALL PEOPLE – YOU AND ME) to condemnation (and eternal death); even so by the righteousness of one (Jesus Christ) the free gift (eternal life) came upon all men (ALL PEOPLE – YOU AND ME) unto justification of life.” Romans 5:15b-18

In other words, just like the fall of the first man (Adam) gave DEATH AND IT’S CONSEQUENCES power over man, (ALL PEOPLE – YOU AND ME), THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST AND IT’S CONSEQUENCES GAVE ALL CREATION (ALL PEOPLE – YOU

66

AND ME) the ability for God to reign inside the heart of man and to make it possible for them to stand before God without any sense of condemnation, guilt or inferiority. This is called THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Those in Christ Jesus hold the position of the gift of righteousness.

Note:

When one receives Jesus Christ, they become just as righteous as Jesus Christ, God’s holy child.

That is why the death of Jesus Christ was so very important. For, before the gift of salvation, righteousness and eternal life was available, our position was in, Satan.

67

In other words, we were just as evil as Satan himself, and we were doomed to the same eternal damnation of hell as he was and is. But, my dear friend, listen:

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE DOOMED AND SUFFER ANYMORE!

Again,

“THE JUDGMENT OF HELL” IS REAL; but, did you know; that, you DO NOT have to go there?

JESUS CHRIST ALREADY WENT THERE FOR YOU!

ANYONE, who trust’s in Jesus, can have this POSITION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

68

Furthermore, all of this means that ANYONE (ALL PEOPLE – YOU AND ME) who does not know Christ IS WELCOMED to BELIEVE IN HIM for the SALVATION of THEIR SOUL! More good news:

God the Father is not mad you!

God the Father loves you!

YOU ARE JUSTIFIED!

YOU ARE “JUST-AS-IF’D” NEVER DONE IT!

YOU ARE FORGIVEN OF YOUR SINS!

YOU ARE REDEEMED!

YOU ARE MADE WHOLE!

69

YOU ARE FOREVER FREE FROM YOUR SINS – NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who THROUGH THE ETERNAL SPIRIT offered himself WITHOUT SPOT to God, purge your conscious from dead works to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:14 JESUS, GOD’S LAMB, WAS PERFECT. Do you now see the power of JESUS’ BLOOD?

If ROYALTY was shed for peasantry, then where does that elevate all of creation?

IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THE VERY BLOOD OF GOD!

70

NO ONE CAN GET ANY BETTER THAN THE VERY ROYALTY OF GOD! THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WE ARE ROYALTY!

Jesus said,

“Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. NO MAN TAKES IT FROM ME, BUT I LAY IT DOWN OF MYSELF. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.” John 10:17-18

This gospel is a serious gospel. It is NOT a “make-believe” story.

This is story of the LIFE and DEATH of JESUS! When Jesus spoke, he knew

71

the price of death that he would have to pay!

He knew that he would have to die for the sins of the world!

Jesus Christ MADE THIS CHOICE FOR US; but, WHAT CHOICE HAVE WE MADE FOR HIM! He gave up all that he had in heaven – for us!

What we CHOOSE concerning the gospel of the Kingdom of God has both present, as well as eternal consequences!

Again, THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST WAS NO ORDINARY BLOOD. IT WAS, AND IS, GOD’S OWN!

72

Whatever comes from the throne and kingdom of God, even this message, is ROYALTY!

Think about this:

GOD’S THRONE IS THE HIGHEST THRONE ABOVE ALL!

“The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high? Who humbles himself, to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill; that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD”. Psalm 113:4-9

73

THIS GOSPEL, WHICH YOU ARE READING, IS FROM THE KINGDOM OF THE HIGHEST!

So, if ALL OF CREATION has been FORGIVEN OF THEIR SINS, then who is, or what is, condemning them?

“What shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who then, can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:31-32

Friend, do not believe Satan’s lies which suggest that you are not worthy. He and his angels is the only one who is not worthy.

74

1. Explain how Jesus’ blood is different than man’s blood?

2. Where does the gospel come from? 3. Why is Jesus not just an ordinary

prophet or man? 4. Why is God not mad at anyone?

“Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; IN HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;” Titus 1:1-3

The fact is, the blood of Jesus was GOOD ENOUGH!

You do not have to live in sin and suffer its wages!

77

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

You do not have to live your life in torment!

YOU CAN BELIEVE in the blood of Jesus and have hope!

You can have this NEW life!

You can stand before the throne of God, as HIS righteousness! Amen.

The worse that you have sinned means THE GREATER the grace of God on YOUR BEHALF!

“…But where sin abounded, grace did MUCH MORE abound:” Romans 5:20b

78

There is NO ONE THAT IS UNLOVED by the Everlasting Father!

God loves YOU!

He has held nothing against you!

He loves you; and, he is not mad at you!

He has forgiven your sins!

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

If we are talking about eternal life, then there must also be an author.

“All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:3-4

79

“In the beginning was the Word…And the Word was made flesh…” John 1:1a, 14a “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.” Psalm 16:9

“And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed there about, behold, two men stood by them in shinning garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? Here is not here, but is risen…” Luke 24:1-6a

80

We have an eternal priesthood. Jesus Christ only had to die one time.

And, after that one time, God raised him from the dead!

Jesus conquered death.

Many, in that day of old witnessed his death; but only a handful, back then, witnessed his resurrection. Those who saw his resurrection also saw his ascension into heaven.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost, is come upon you: and you shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he (Jesus) had spoken these things, while they

81

beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.” Acts 1:8-9

The Promise of the Father

All of what Jesus did – did not stop here. Jesus said, “I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you.” John 14:4

THIS SAME JESUS…….

Who was:

BORN OF A VIRGIN,

Who was:

CONCEIVED BY A MIRACLE OF THE HOLY GHOST,

82

Who is:

THE DIVINE SON OF THE LIVING GOD,

Who: DIED AS OUR LAMB,

Who:

SHED HIS DIVINE BLOOD,

Whose blood:

WAS AND IS GOD’S OWN BLOOD (WHOM GOD ALSO WAS PLEASED BY HIS DEATH - BECAUSE IT SATISFIED THE CLAIMS OF JUSTICE OF OUR SINS AND WAS ACCOMPLISHED ON OUR BEHALF),

83

Whom:

GOD ALSO RAISED UP FROM THE DEAD (AFTER BEING IN THE TORMENTS OF HELL FOR THREE DAYS),

Who: WENT BACK TO THE FATHER – PRESENTING HIS SPOTLESS AND PURE BLOOD ON OUR BEHALF,

Came back:

TO LIVE IN PEOPLE, IN ME!

This is the gospel!

THE POWER OF GOD BACKS UP THIS MESSAGE!

The everlasting Father has spoken to you today through his Word!

84

Now

Now is the day of salvation!

Now – everybody can accept God’s Righteousness!

Now – everybody be saved! And Now – everybody can be healed!

He has his dwelling in people!

It is amazing to me how he took a great sinner, such as I, and then he gave me the grace to turn around and preach the same glorious message that I now am declaring unto you!

But, indeed, and as his vessel, he (The Spirit of Truth) himself is working through me in order to communicate TO YOU this message.

85

Do you see HOW MUCH he loves YOU?

To choose to BELIEVE IN HIM is the first step that is required to inherit the gift of righteousness that his Son Jesus Christ paid for. With tears in my eyes I beg you TO BELIEVE the precious Lamb of God who unselfishly died for you!

He wants to REIGN in you and express himself THROUGH YOU!

But, “THAT CHOICE” is yours – my friend!

It is:

YOUR, CHOICE, TO, MAKE!

86

A New Family – “In Christ”

You can be a part of the new family – “In Christ.”

Jesus said,

“…except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3b Also said,

“Therefore if any man (ALL PEOPLE – YOU AND ME) be IN CHRIST, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. All things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, not imputing their trespasses

87

unto them; and has committed unto us THE WORD (the gospel of the kingdom of God) of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he (God) has made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God through him.” II Corinthians 5:17-21

“…BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST and you will be saved, and your house.” Acts 16:31

You can have EVERLASTING LIFE!

You can enjoy the pleasures on God’s right hand throughout eternity!

88

Jesus said,

“All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37

Again,

“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.” Ezekiel 18:4

Turn your back on your old way of living and accept the pardon that the glorious gospel of Christ declares!

Begin by understanding the power of a CONFESSION from your OWN MOUTH.

89

Jesus said,

“Whosoever (ALL PEOPLE – YOU AND ME) therefore shall CONFESS me before men, him will I CONFESS also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. ” Matthew 10:32-33 “Whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord Shall be saved.” Romans 10:13.

Questions

1. Explain how Jesus’ blood is

different than man’s blood? 2. How does “NOW” apply to the

good news? 3. How does one get saved?

Make the Choice - A Sinners Prayer

92

Say this prayer in order to enter into New Life:

Jesus Christ, you are my ONLY hope. I believe that you died for me.

I believe that you cared enough for me to suffer for my sins and to be punished and judged ON MY BEHALF.

I simply would like to say THANK YOU.

Please come into my heart and live there.

Please guide me through the Holy Spirit.

I repent of my sins. I accept your righteousness! I believe this gospel!

93

Please teach me and show me more of your love and grace.

Please help me to reach out to all of the people that I personally know so that they can also have this wonderful salvation!

Thank you for Life!

Thank you for Peace!

Thank you for the Joy of the Lord!

Thank you for restoration!

Thank you for redemption and righteousness!

Thank you for the gift of ETERNAL LIFE!

Thank you for your great mercy!

94

And, behold, I call God – my creator, my Father, also.

He is NOW more than my God! For I know him NOW as The everlasting Father!

Yes, he is NOW my Father!

I am NOW his child!

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name.” John 1:12

Thank you my Father for the blood of your holy child Jesus Christ; for through that blood, I am restored unto divinity!

95

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come and his wife has made herself ready.” Revelation 19:7

In Jesus’ name. Amen.
