1 Cor 10 : 1 Under The Cloud, And All Passed Through The Sea

The bible says that even repentance is a gift from God   Luke 5:32 ASV - I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
Luk 24:47 ASV - and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
Rom 2:4 ASV - Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
2Cr 7:10 ASV - For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
2Ti 2:25 ASV - in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,
2Pe 3:9 ASV - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.    Repentance in the greek is  Strong's Number: g3341      Greek: metanoia

Repent, Repentance:
"afterthought, change of mind, repentance," corresponds in meaning to A, No. 1, and is used of "repentance" from sin or evil, except in Hbr 12:17, where the word "repentance" seems to mean, not simply a change of Isaac's mind, but such a change as would reverse the effects of his own previous state of mind. Esau's birthright-bargain could not be recalled; it involved an irretrievable loss
As regards "repentance" from sin,

(a) the requirement by God on man's part is set forth, e.g., in Mat 3:8; Luk 3:8; Act 20:21; 26:20;

(b) the mercy of God in giving "repentance" or leading men to it is set forth, e.g., in Act 5:31; 11:18; Rom 2:4; 2Ti 2:25. The most authentic mss. omit the word in Mat 9:13; Mar 2:17, as in the


People fear everything but God in their life's, there is no fear of God. The ironic part is that God is sovereign over this earth over everything you can see and not see, God is sovereign . He is sovereign over evil also.PEOPLE THINK THAT THE DEVIL IS EQUAL WITH GOD.  Not so he was made by God and the word is confirming this every day. Isa 45:7 ASV - I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.          Isa 10:15 ASV - Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? as if a rod should wield them that lift it up, [or] as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood.
Isa 10:16 ASV - Therefore will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.  Can the ax boast greater power than the person who uses it? Is the saw greater than the person who saws? Can a whip strike unless a hand is moving it? Can a cane walk by itself?   But can the ax boast greater power than the person who uses it?  Is the saw greater than the person who saws?  Can a rod strike unless a hand moves it?   Can a wooden cane walk by itself?

Pharaoh was a tool to bring the children closer to God. He was that axe and that saw to chasten Gods people to cause them to cleave unto the God who loved them. The whole story of Moses and Aaron and the wilderness was God trying to establish his love for his people. And we see that all those that left Egypt with Moses ( all but two men) died in the wilderness. Only the children that was born in the desert walked into the promised land. Over one million people died in this exodus not even Moses or Aaron entered in .The Lord chose Joshua to lead them over the Jordan into the land. Why ! because they did not believe God.   I heard it said that God took the children out of Egypt so he could take Egypt out of the children. 

Rom 10:20 ASV - And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me. This is where God broke off the branch and grafted in the gentiles you and I. But understand Gods love here, he did not forsake his people there is a portion of his people that will come into this glorious walk of salvation.
 1Jo 1:1 ASV - That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life
1Jo 1:5 ASV - And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1Jo 1:7 ASV - but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  From the beginning of time rebellion is what has separated people from God .     Saul lost his throne because of rebellion to Gods commandments.   1Sa 15:23 ASV - For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath also rejected thee from being king.   1Sa 15:23 ASV - For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath also rejected thee from being king.  But Samuel replied, "What is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Obedience is far better than sacrifice. Listening to him is much better than offering the fat of rams.  So what are we to say , is this word we have in the new testament to be obeyed just as the old was .Jesus said he did not come to do away with the law he came to fulfil it.And that was not just while he walk the earth but it is for now until the end.  Jesus was the absolute fulfillment of the Law for you.  The Law has never gone away it is still in place today , and every man living under the law must fulfill the commandments .  Jesus took your place and has reconciling you unto God through his blood .     Rom 8:3 ASV - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:    
Rom 7:6 ASV - But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
Rom 8:2 ASV - For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
Gal 3:13 ASV - Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Deut 28 Tells the penalty of breaking the Law ,  Deu 28:1 ASV - And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth:
Deu 28:15 ASV - But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.
God gave the Law to convict the children of their sin ,  so there must be blood sacrifices .
Heb 10:4 ASV - For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
Heb 10:5 ASV - Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me;
Heb 10:6 ASV - In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure:

Mat 5:18 ASV - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.  Jesus was the fulfilling of the law for righteousness sake.We are the righteousness of God in Christ .   We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.  But we must see our condition our present state of life, is sin working in us are we captive to sin of some sort. 1john says we do not know him if we have sin in us   1Jo 1:6 ASV - If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: I have a question for you, will sinners go to heaven?  My call to you today is that everything you have been told about the word of God must line up with scripture.  If you are not living by this word and being changed daily by its fruit, than what is wrong, you must realize that just because the world excepts it it must be true.  No the world is going to be judged by this righteous word of God.   2Pe 1:4 ASV - whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust.
2Pe 1:5 ASV - Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge;
2Pe 1:6 ASV - and in [your] knowledge self-control; and in [your] self-control patience; and in [your] patience godliness;
2Pe 1:7 ASV - and in [your] godliness brotherly kindness; and in [your] brotherly kindness love.
2Pe 1:8 ASV - For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Pe 1:9 ASV - For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
2Pe 1:10 ASV - Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:    The table is set and there is time to partake of the word of God but there is a time coming when the door will close and Gods mercy will withdraw and go to another.  Time is very short and what we do now with ourselves and look and see where is our treasure what have we stored up for this time of affection. What will you be able to draw upon in the time of famine and troubles that are coming like no other . I believe that our minds can not even comprehend what is coming upon the earth. It says in Revelations that men's hearts will fail them for fear of what they see.  The only thing that will save us in that day is the true word of God that we have put in our hearts. Our treasure is in the fact that Gods word is true and it will deliver us in that time, Psalm 91 says  Psa 91:1 ASV - He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psa 91:2 ASV - I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
Psa 91:3 ASV - For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
Psa 91:4 ASV - He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
Psa 91:5 ASV - Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Psa 91:6 ASV - For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
Psa 91:7 ASV - A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; [But] it shall not come nigh thee.
Psa 91:8 ASV - Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.        This is just some of the prophetic word written years ago for us today, this is speaking directly to us its the forth telling of the future events coming upon this earth. How shall thousands fall at our side and ten thousand at your right hand. We will be right in the middle of this event and only God and his word will save us.   The secret place is Christ in you ! if you are not born again that is to say Christ is not living in you than you will suffer, and that is very sobering to think about. I also have a cross to bear, I am just like any of Gods children I believe the whole word and fear God ! with a clean fear.   Psa 119:105 ASV - NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.
Psa 119:140 ASV - Thy word is very pure; Therefore thy servant loveth it.
Psa 119:160 ASV - The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances [endureth] for ever.
Jhn 17:17 ASV - Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth. 
Psa 19:1 NLT - For the choir director: A psalm of David. The heavens tell of the glory of God. The skies display his marvelous craftsmanship.
  Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.
 They speak without a sound or a word; their voice is silent in the skies;  yet their message has gone out to all the earth, and their words to all the world. The sun lives in the heavens where God placed it.
  It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.
  The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.
  The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
  The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight to life. Fear for the LORD is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the LORD are true; each one is fair.
 They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.
  They are a warning to those who hear them; there is great reward for those who obey them. How far can a man go with GOD is there a limit,   How far can a man not go with GOD  is there a limit. Doing all you can to find God is never enough his ways are past finding out. But not doing anything to find God is as far as you can go there is a limit, live to your flesh and live in this world embrace it with all you have,  deny Christ and you have gone as far as you can go.  But where will you go in the end of this life !   There is a hell and it is real and it is waiting for the fulness of time to be accomplished and than the end, and the word says the soul of man will never die your soul will never die, will you live in his presents  with joy unspeakable, or in torment  for ever and ever and ever and ever.


  Heb 10:26 ASV - For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a Sacrifice for Sins,   Willful sin seperates us from God , and brings the curse .  Look at verse 29 when a person willfully sins he hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace . That is the reason Moses and Aaron could not enter into the promise land they disobeyed God and struck the rock which is Jesus and the bible says he can only be crucified once , only to die once for our sins .   1Co 10:1 ASV - For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Co 10:2 ASV - and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;  

The cloud here is the Holy Ghost and the sea is water baptism ,  a type and a shadow of the promise of God to us all who obey the gospel . 

1Co 10:3 ASV - and did all eat the same spiritual food;
1Co 10:4 ASV - and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.
 Jesus said just before he died IT IS FINISH .


 
Heb 10:27 ASV - but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.
Heb 10:28 ASV - A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses:
Hbr 10:29 ASV - of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Hbr 10:30 ASV - For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Hbr 10:31 ASV - It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.      Hbr 12:29 ASV - for our God is a consuming fire.

Rom 8:2 ASV - For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.   Can you see what this verse says Jesus gives you the power to defeat sin through his spirit .  Sin works death in our life.   Jas 1:13 ASV - Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:
Jas 1:14 ASV - but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his OWN LUST, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 ASV - Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
Jas 1:16 ASV - Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin . There is no scripture that says we are sinners saved by grace . We were ! sinners at one time but the blood of Christ has saved us from Sin we do not have to sin any longer we are free .    For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin . If we walk with Jesus we have his life in us .  You must be filled with the Holy Spirit to have power to overcome sin and the evil one.  There is nothing we can do to save our selfs nothing ! .

Pro 11:5 ASV - The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way; But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
Pro 11:6 ASV - The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.
Rom 10:3 ASV - For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Phl 3:9 ASV - and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, even that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

Heb 5:12 ASV - For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.
Heb 5:13 ASV - For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.
Heb 5:14 ASV - But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
Your father stands ready to perform his word over you ,  Blessed are the PURE in heart for they shall see God Blessed are they that hunger after righteousness for they SHALL be filled.

Religion is void of power to walk with God , Jesus told the scribes because of the traditions of your fathers you make of no effect the word of God.
