Staying with the copy-and-pastes yet, as I'm still taking a break from writing for a while, (although I know the next two books I'm to make) bar the 'top-ups' required for 'Devil possessed Christians' part 2, another 'state agents strange statements' (sadly - Ecc 1.8) and another 'recommended reading' post, which will all be published when the Lord dictates. (1 Kings 19.12, Prov 16.3, Job 33:16, 2 Tim 3.16c) After all, the whole point of this website has always been to advertise bible believing truth, sermons, books, blogs and works. (2 Tim 4.2)
Oh! and in other news Im saved 9 years this month! 🎂 Thanks Lord for using that little lady to introduce me to ye (and show me the importance of the KJB), its been some trip, eh? 😄 (John 10.10, 1 Tim 1.16)
Anyhow...

Salvation’s effect on the Body, Soul, and Spirit and Eternal Security, Fact or Fiction?
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Everything in this study is from the Word of God about the Kingdom of God moreover, His perfect plan for His creature man.
Paradise Lost: when Adam and Eve were created, they were made perfect in the eyes of God. Adam was created in the image of God, a triune God being, three in one (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Adam was made a living Soul with a Body and a Spirit.
Note: The Spirit of Man was the connection with God and a means of communication with God.
Genesis 1:26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Never had the God of Heaven ever created anything like man that was created after God’s own image. A man with a body, soul, and a spirit. This creature was created for friendship, for singing praises, for worshiping, and to talk to God Himself, and God made man, the only creature that can love him back!
This set both worlds in amazement the Heavenly realm and the rebellious realm of darkness (Satan’s realm).
Psalms 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Man was made perfect to inhabit the perfect world that God had just created for him and his prefect bride. A creature that could live forever and that was clothed with light and was provided the fruit of trees to eat, and his only responsibility was to tend to a perfect garden that God Himself planted.
Perfect environment for living; no ghettoes, no unemployment, no fatherless children, and no godless religions, however, sin was still knocking at the door.
Genesis 2:8 ¶ And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
As you read the scriptures of the Genesis account, you can feel the love and care that God had for Adam and Eve.
God’s Creation must be tested in the most prefect environment.
Man was placed in this perfect environment; this was for the purpose, of testing Adam. Every creature that God has ever created was made perfect until tested from the Angels, Archangel, the Cherubs, Cherubim, Seraphim, and the sons of God. All were made with a freedom to choose to obey and serve God or rebel.
1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Adam was different he was created with the ability to love and to reason and worship God out of love for Him, however, like everything else Adam had the freedom to choose the rejecting of God’s Word, but not without consequences.
Adam and Eve’s testing was as simple as two trees;
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The Tree of Life represents; eternal life with the Father and everything provided with love, joy and friendship with God!
The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil represents; rebellion, hardships, and death and hell!
Adam was created with what we would call a super genius intellect, he was well aware of God’s one law.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
God’s Word to Adam was straight forward do not eat this one tree’s fruit!
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Before Man and this recreated world, there was a rebellion in Heaven that set up the adversary Satan, ask for my study on Genesis One!
There is only one God, however, God allowed Satan a fallen Cherub that hated God, to tempt his new creation man. This is the same temptation we see today (nothing new under the Sun); Satan offers the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life.
This sin of Pride was the very same sin that caused Satan to fall, but with one big difference! There was no redemption plan in place for him! When he was cast from the third Heaven he drew one third of the angels with him (33%).
When Satan saw man and what God was going to do with man, Satan had immediate hatred for man. I believe Satan saw his replacement; Satan’s rebellion was based on pride and he wanted to replace God on His throne.
Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Now he was seeing God creating a creature that would replace everything that Satan had before his fall and had provided for the throne of God.
Satan provided; before his fall music, light, and worship.
Man will provide; music, light, worship, praise and LOVE for God!
Now this may seem strange to you, but Satan has never seen the Father (God), he has only seen the manifestation of the Son of God. Therefore, Satan has no idea who he is dealing with, just like most men!
There is no room in heaven for any other gods there is only one true God!
Isaiah 45:5 ¶ I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
With God, there is no room in His creation for pride of any kind the LORD is looking for people with a humble, and a contrite spirit.
The LORD of Glory has a plan to find out of the billions of humans born on this earth, which will humble themselves with a contrite spirit and that will say I am putting my trust, hope, and faith in the one who died for me!
Psalms 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Search your heart for pride we all have a problem with pride we all think we are deserving of God’s blessings, however, the Lord hates a proud heart.
Proverbs 6:16 ¶ These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
We are all found guilty, we all deserve the wrath of God!
Jeremiah 17:9 ¶ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Revelation 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
It does not matter with God what comes out of a man’s mouth, but what is in a man’s heart! That is why it is so important to have the Spirit of God living inside of you!
Only three men were found to be righteous enough to deliver their own souls, and no one else, Noah, Daniel, and Job.
Ezekiel 14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Noah believed God and built an Ark defeating the old world! The lust of the flesh!
2 Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
Daniel believed God and would not eat from the king’s table that would defile his flesh! The lust of the eyes!
Daniel 1:8 ¶ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Job believed God even though he had lost everything including his family and health, but kept his integrity with God and defeated Satan. The Pride of life!
Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
Job 31:6 Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.
Noah, Daniel, and Job could only save themselves.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
An all-knowing God knows the beginning and the end. The LORD knew before the foundations of the earth were laid that we would need a Saviour. He knew that He would have to put this plan in His written Word before starting! John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Note: that Word is the LORD Jesus Christ the second part of the trinity.
John 3:16 ¶ 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.
Man has forgotten how to read, when it comes to the Word of God, when you look at John 3:16 it says, “God so loved the world” past tense, everything man is doing today apart from God’s Word is an abomination in the sight of God. So apart from the only begotten Son of God (the LORD Jesus Christ) we are all doomed to hell with no exceptions!
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
The Lord Jesus Christ was sent to save humanity from its sin-filled nature and from God’s Wrath that is coming upon this earth:
I Believe the LORD planned to redeem man before the foundations of the world were in place, because if the LORD had not planned it all out ahead of His creation, and written it in His Word He would have repented that he had made man, because of God’s hatred towards Sin.
Genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
Before the Flood of Noah, man was in total rebellion with God. Satan and his fallen angels had corrupted the seed of man except for a man named Noah and his family.
Genesis 6:9 ¶ These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
This was the second attempt by Satan, to stop the promised Seed, that would redeem Mankind from their sins, by corrupting man’s DNA.
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
After the Flood with Noah and his family with a new beginning on this earth, it did not take long for man to start rebelling.
Even with the Exodus when the people murmured against God, it took Moses a humble servant of God to stop the wrath of God:
Exodus 32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Exodus 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Again, I repeat, there is only one thing standing between us of total destruction and that is the WORD of GOD. The LORD of Glory holds His Word above everything even His wrath towards sinful man.
Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
Lamentations 2:17 The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
If man rebels against God’s Word it does not matter who you are, God’s will adhere to His Holy Word and it will stand.
Matthew 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
The Word of God in the Old Testament are said to be ensamples for us today to demonstrate God’s intolerance for sin.
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Men are so prideful to imagine that God’s Salvation plan has no success except for their cooperation; the Lord’s Salvation will be successful in spite of man. We are saved not of because we are so good. We are saved because the LORD is good and faithful to His Word, in spite of our shortcomings.
We have been bought with a price, which we could never in a trillion years in Hell pay for!
Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Fulness of time is the center of God’s redemptive plan for man in this last dispensation of faith. However, this dispensation includes all men born of the Spirit of God and by the Grace of God, and only through the Blood of His only begotten Son the LORD Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
This Salvation plan was thought out to the finest details with no exceptions to this plan in this dispensational period of time the Age of Grace.
Before our LORD went to His cross, He prayed this prayer for us.
John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
You might ask who is us in this verse; Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
All men and women who come to Him with a humble and contrite heart.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
We have been living in the last days for the last 2000 years of time for this dispensation is about up the Rapture of the Church is near!
1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
The last part of this verse reinforces the fact all of this was preplanned for us that were born in the last 2000 years.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Every soul on this this earth born to a woman will one day give an account of his or her life using God’s standards!
Every person will need to be Justified by something other than their sinful nature to be acceptable to God and His standards.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Heaven without justification is an impossibility!
No man can stand before the Almighty God of pure righteousness and live.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
The Word of God shows us over an over that blood is required for sin! It is either your blood or a substitution (blood of animals).
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
The Gospel according to the New Testament scriptures requires the Blood of God’s Son and only His Blood to pay that price for our redemption.
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Propitiation: the act of appeasing the wrath and conciliating the favor of an offended person; the act of making propitious.
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Where is your works mentioned in these verses? Where is your ownership to this plan?
If you received God’s redemption plan by faith in the Blood of Christ Jesus you have been bought with the most valuable price ever conceived. Therefore, to get out of this purchase you would have to buy yourself out of the contract. A servant cannot buy himself or herself out of a contract, and you cannot run away from God’s presence.
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
Ignorant men say they can lose it any time they want, however, those same people are fools and have never known the LORD of Glory. That “No Man” means even you, if you know Him!
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
The LORD is determined to conform you to His image and His Likeness.
Romans 8:29 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.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
What happens to a man after he is Born Again and what happens to a man that rejects the Lord Jesus Christ?
After receiving the gift of Salvation, man’s spiritual makeup is changed!
For man to stand in the presence of the Holy God, his image has to be conformed into the image of the second Adam the LORD Jesus Christ God’s only begotten Son. This is by the freedom to receive the gift of God. This extremely valuable gift was paid for by the perfect life of the Son of God and His obedient death on the Cross of Calvary that was planned before the earth was created.
A farmer that raises cattle have learned that when a cow that has lost a young calf they will take that young dead calf’s hide and find a young calf that has lost its mother or has been rejected by the mother. The farmer will take that hide of the dead calf and tie it on the live calf to see if the cow will accept the calf by the smell of her dead calf.
That calf would have died, except for the odor of her dead calf. The smell justified that calf being able to nurse and receive life from the mother.
God put that instinct in a cow to show you how God’s redemption plan works.
The FATHER needs to see the Blood of His Son applied to justify us to the adoption as sons of God!
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
When God the Father hears our prayer of receiving the LORD Jesus Christ he now see us as His sons, and He sees the Blood of His Son applied to us.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
John 1:12 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:
The Operation of God
Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
In the Old Testament when man’s soul became unclean, his body is unclean, because outside of the LORD Jesus Christ the soul and body are one, just like an animal. With the exception man’s soul doesn’t rest in the ground like an animals, man’s soul without intervention goes to Hell’s fire waiting on the Great White Throne Judgment of God (Revelation 20:11).
Leviticus 5:2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
After receiving the gift of Salvation God, separates the soul of man from his flesh and now sin is confined to the body.
The Spirit of God dwells inside of you convicting you of sin.
God also quickens your dead spirit making it alive and placing it near the throne of God!
Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Upon receiving, the Gift of Salvation a war begins in your being between the old man (flesh) and the new man (soul and spirit).
This war is won by yielding to the Spirit of God living inside your heart,
Therefore, as believers in the LORD Jesus Christ we become a new creation in Christ Jesus by receiving His Blood for the atonement for sin.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Many, so called Christ claiming people say they can lose their salvation! I am here to tell you that is a lie straight from Hell. How can you lose what is not yours to lose.
Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
The second a believing man or woman dies their soul is with the Lord and their body’s rots in the Grave, until the Rapture of the Church. Then your sinful body is raised from corruptible to incorruptible.
1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
However, when you do sin you have someone on your side that will declare paid in full. You belong to the Son of God if you have put your faith in the Blood of Christ!
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Definition: Advocate in its primary sense, signifies, one who pleads the cause of another in a court of civil law. Hence,
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Are you greater than God?
What is the soul of man?
It can be seen:
Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
A soul is in the shape of a body of man:
2 Corinthians 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
2 Corinthians 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
This soul can be clothed:
Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Soul can feel pain:
Luke 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
The soul can feel torment, thirst, has memory of the past, and has a conscious of the present and future.
We see that the saved soul has all of the body parts and has a comfortable environment; in contrast, the rich man lifts his eyes, but has no ability to help his situation.
The rich man puts me in mind of a person who is deathly ill and is so weak they have no ability to help themselves, but cries out to others for help, but no one comes.
Second Adam was complete:
The Lord’s body was filled with the Soul and Spirit of God:
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Everything changed when they received the Holy Spirit (filled the hearts of men).
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
God has a body it is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Man without Christ, is nothing more than a dead man walking.
Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Without the Lord, we are without any hope of seeing Glory.
Sins effect on Mankind
Adam sinned against God’s Word and he died?
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
When Adam sinned against God’s Word, he did die spiritually, and his body died less than a day later.
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
What happen to man’s blood?
Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
When God created man, he had some type of water flowing through his veins.
Bone and Flesh no mention of blood?
Our blood is the same color of Sin.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Before the cross, Jesus says that he will give you a fountain of living waters:
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Jeremiah 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Jeremiah 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Garden of Gethsemane:
When examining the prayers of our Lord he spoke of a cup. By taking this cup, the Lord of Glory became every sin that man will ever commit.
For taking, this vile cup was to receive of the wrath of God that the Lord Jesus Christ was to take on the Cross of Cavalry.
All of this was for whosoever will!
The LORD became poor so we could be Rich!
The LORD became homeless so we could have a home in Heaven.
The LORD cursed so we could be blessed!
The LORD was despised and rejected so we could be received of the Father!
The LORD received Stripes so we could be healed!
The LORD shed every drop of His precious Blood so we could receive an eternal pardon for our sins.
The LORD took my sins on Himself so I could be a sinless son of God.
The LORD died for me and rose again so I could live forever with Him in Glory.
The LORD OF GLORY allowed the FATHER to turn His back on His SON so a sinner like me can stand before a HOLY and Righteous God and call Him FATHER!
Those that reject this Salvation plan will one-day experience that wrath for all eternity, in the Lake of Fire forever and ever!
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Before the Lord could go to the Cross for us the LORD asked the Father to examine Him to see if He was in pure righteousness and obedience with the Father and was worthy to be called, the LAMB of God!
Luke 22: 41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
The Holy Body of the Lord was filled with the sin of humanity to the point that it was coming out of his pours of His skin.
Just like a wine press that squeezes the grape to release the blood of the grape.
While hanging on the Cross the Father had to forsake His Own Son by turning His back for the first time in eternity past.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Jesus the second Adam after his resurrection where is the Blood?
Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Where is the blood?
When Jesus arose from the dead he had no blood, as we know it. His Blood was shed on the Cross of Calvary.
It was noted that blood and water came from his side.
John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
Broken and spilled out!
Mark 14:3 ¶ And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
Why did his blood chemistry have to be changed?
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
When our Lord ascended the only thing that he did not have inside His body was His Blood. He took His Blood and sprinkled it on the Mercy Seat;
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
In the Old Testament the life flesh was in the Blood:
1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
In the New Testament, the life is in the Lord Jesus Christ:
In Matthew 17: 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Peter James and John saw our Lord in his true state as the second Adam.
The first Adam sinned and everything changed in his body. He lost his perfect body was given a defective body and a sinful nature. Adam was now a being in need of redemption.
Adam needed someone that filled the following requirements
Psalms 24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
In our state now, we could never stand in the presence of God!
1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Our corrupt blood and flesh cannot inherit the Kingdom Of God
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
When Eve ate the forbidden fruit, she went from Snow White to a pink or a reddish color. The light that covered her was gone!
The Word of God gives us examples of this type of death.
When Moses placed his rod in to the river Nile, it became blood this is a type of man’s sin; showing that when man rejected the Words of God this sin produces death (or blood).
Crossing the Red Sea was a type of how we need to go through the Blood to be washed and cleansed from the sinful nature we inherited from the first Adam.
Exodus 14:16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
The same rod that turned the water to blood has now made a way through the sea that stood in the way of Israel’s Promised Land.
That sea was the Red Sea a type of the Blood of Christ; they had to go through on their journey to a new life.
When our Lord started His ministry the first miracle was at a wedding on the third day, Jesus turned water into wine.
John 2 :4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
Jesus is the Word, and He was rejected and he became our sin for us, who knew no sin.
The dirty water was poured out (all humanity sins), and clean pure water was replaced (the Lord Jesus Christ, the living water) into six jars (6000yrs. of human history of failures), (72 to 162 Gallons enough for all the people of Jerusalem).
Why so much wine?
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
He turned it into wine showing us that he would become sin for us to pay what we could not pay (even an eternity in hell).
Wine is a type of blood, so man when he was created he had water in his veins, but when sin entered that living water became blood.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
To have that living water is life. All He asks is for you to accept His Sacrifice.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Your body is glued to your soul
Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Without Him your body and soul are one, you have zero chance.
Leviticus 5:2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
When we are born into this world we are walking dead men unable to please God, because our spirit is dead and our soul is glued to our bodies unable to do anything but sin.
So before salvation just by touching something dead both soul and body were condemned.
Brute beast
Numbers 31 28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
Before you are saved you are like a brute beast, heading to who knows where that needs a shepherd to guide them.
2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
Before sin man ate from the trees after sin, he ate from the ground and trees. After the flood, he ate animals, from the trees and from the ground.
It is getting harder to keep this flesh alive along with the diseases, and weather.
Rachel died
Genesis 35:18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben–oni: but his father called him Benjamin.
The only time your soul will be loosed from your body is when you die. When your breath is gone, so are you.
Without the LORD JESUS CHRIST when you step out of your body you will go down to a devils Hell, like a lead weight!
Luke 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
However, when a man is saved God sends two strong angels to carry him to Glory.
The second vial that is poured out during the last three and a half years Tribulation God turns water into Blood of a dead man, as part of Judgement.
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
The Lord Jesus Christ took that judgement on Himself by taking on the sins of the whole world. The living water became blood but not of a dead man.
Luke 22: 39 ¶ And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
At this place Jesus knew he was taking on all of the world sins and that was being filled with the Blood that was to be shed for even me.
47 ¶ And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
Abraham believed God:
James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Abraham had an unconditional covenant with God, and God’s seed would come through his offspring.
The Jews had the Spirit of God, but it was conditional.
Exodus 35:21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD’S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. 22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
Anyone can accept His sacrifice as your own by accepting God’s only begotten Son and His Word.
1 Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
Abraham was one that God called friend and he told Abraham that he needed to be circumcised.
Genesis 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
Why because his seed was bad seed corrupted and cursed, blood had to be shed. God made a covenant with Abraham and every man that followed the Word of God had to be circumcised.
Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Israel: physical circumcision Deuteronomy 30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
Church: spiritual circumcision Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Until the perfect Lamb of GOD would come, and would take away the curse of man.
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
By receiving The Lord Jesus Christ, you receive GOD’s Spirit. (Born Again)
1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
The operation of God
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Our soul is cut free from our body!
When a man is baptized his dead body goes in the water (grave) and your live soul and spirit comes out.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Our salvation will be completed when we have our new glorified body.
We have to drag these old dead bodies around until the Rapture happens or we die.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
When a person is lost, his spirit is dead, and his body and soul is all he has to live for. Self
When a man is saved (born again) his body is dead to God, but his Soul and Spirit are alive. He also has a new home and body.
So what was the cost That Jesus paid?
Luke 24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified and the third day rise again.
A 1000 yrs. before Christ Jesus went to the cross this was written.
Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 ¶ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 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.
John 3:14 ¶ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Psalms 22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Serpent and worm are interchangeable.
Psalms 22: 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture
John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
There is only one who can enter God’s Throne!
Psalms 24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
The water represents the perfect man His deity, the blood represents what He became for us; the very thing God hated; Jesus became for us!
What can a man or woman expect that rejects the Blessed Son of the Living God?
Hell Fire for Eternity - his soul will awake in Hell with no exceptions
When Satan Fell, he went from being a beautiful being to a red dragon.
The serpent in the garden went from being a four legged beast to a snake crawling on his belly like a worm.
When Adam and Eve sinned, they were no longer clothed in light he became reddish.
When you reject God’s son who became a worm on the cross and gave up all, so you could be restored! how can you, expect anything less than what the serpent got.
You are going to be a worm in the Lake of Fire after the White throne Judgment. God will not allow His image to exist in the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
In verse 13: the words death is used in the reference to the grave where the body lies. The word Hell is a reference to where the soul resides.
Both the body and the soul are reunited at the White throne Judgment and are cast into the Lake of Fire for all eternity.
Mark 9:44,46, 48 Where their worm dieth not and the fire not quenched.
Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
When Satan is cast into that Lake of Fire he is met with worm like creatures
Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
Receive the Lord while He may be found!
Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 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 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
