How Beautiful
Exo 12:21 ASV - Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover. Take you Lambs ! a commandant of God to us all . Lambs do not fight nor run away and all through the word of God Jesus is a type and a shadow of a Lamb . And than he is the Shepard of the sheep that have gone astray, the good Shepard . Paul called and given this knowledge of Christ as a mystery , Col 1:25 ASV - whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfil the word of God, Paul was called and anointed with this gospel for the gentiles . Greek: oikonomia Dispensation: to the stewardship committed to him "to fulfill the Word of God," the fulfillment being the unfolding of the completion of the Divinely arranged and imparted cycle of truths which are consummated in the truth relating to the Church as the Body of Christ, Col 1:25 (RV and AV, "dispensation"); so in Eph 3:2, of the grace of God given him as a stewardship ("dispensation") in regard to the same "mystery;"
"the management of a household or of household affairs" (oikos, "a house . Of the household of God , Jesus called it my Fathers house , This is not a building or an earthly structure , this is a spiritual house and it belongs to the father . Jesus said it is that kingdom of God that is not visible with the natural eyes . Much more than an earthly understanding , it is something wonderful and eternal .
Col 1:26 ASV - even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, Greek: musterion Mystery: of God: the secret counsels which govern God in dealing with the righteous, which are hidden from ungodly and wicked men but plain to the godly . Christ, who is God Himself revealed under the conditions of human life, Col 2:2; 4:3, and submitting even to death, 1Cr 2:1 (in some mss., for marturion, testimony), 7, but raised from among the dead, 1Ti 3:16, that the will of God to co-ordinate the universe in Him, and subject it to Him, might in due time be accomplished, Eph 1:9 (cp. Rev 10:7), as is declared in the gospel, Rom 16:25; Eph 6:19
Saints Greek: hagios Holiness, Holy, Holily:
This sainthood is not an attainment, it is a state into which God in grace calls men; yet believers are called to sanctify themselves (consistently with their calling, 2Ti 1:9), cleansing themselves from all defilement, forsaking sin, living a "holy" manner of life, 1Pe 1:15; 2Pe 3:11, and experiencing fellowship with God in His holiness. The saints are thus figuratively spoken of as "a holy temple," 1Cr 3:17 (a local church); Eph 2:21 (the whole Church), cp. Eph 5:27; "a holy priesthood," 1Pe 2:5; "a holy nation," 1Pe 2:9.
Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Riches Greek: ploutos
Rich, Riches, Richly, Rich Man: possessed by God and exercised towards men, Rom 2:4, "of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;" Rom 9:23 and Eph 3:16, "of His glory" (i.e., of its manifestation in grace towards believers); Rom 11:33, of His wisdom and knowledge; Eph 1:7; 2:7, "of His grace;" Eph 1:18, "of the glory of His inheritance in the saints;" Eph 3:8, "of Christ;" Phl 4:19, "in glory in Christ Jesus," RV; Col 1:27, "of the glory of this mystery... Christ in you, the hope of glory; Many are called but few are chosen ! the word called is to receive an invitation .
The masters son is going to be married and you dear friend are invited . God compares this wonderful event of the church as Christ his son a Husband and the called and chosen and chosen is the elect Greek: eklektos Choice, Choose, Chosen: The source of their "election" is God's grace, not human will, Eph 1:4, 5; Rom 9:11; 11:5. They are given by God the Father to Christ as the fruit of His death . The elect is the chosen wife of Christ so as the old saying has been said many times over , A marriage made in heaven. The beauty of this mystery is the knowledge of Christ in you the hope of Glory. Jesus spoke of this wedding in many places in the gospels in parables. Parables are a veiled , a casting or placing side by side a figure .
Luk 8:10 ASV - And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
This is the calling of God to you my friend only by prayer and fasting seeking the will of God in your life will the understanding of holiness come. Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ . Rom 6:22 ASV - But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. Sanctification Greek: hagiasmos Holiness, Holy, Holily: separation to God, 1Cr 1:30;
We must see here the importance of this word , The bible says we are saved by Grace and grace is that we have the benefit of the blood of the Lamb to cover our sins. And that with the grace of God he than gives us a measure a gift of Faith to walk in that blood sacrifice . He loved us before we ever even knew him . God gives Grace and Faith as a gift of his love to us , so we give back to our father the fruit of that sacrifice of the Lamb ! Sanctification we are sanctified by our giving God our all our separation unto him wholly and with out measure.
Dear friends there is only one gospel and it is not being preached today , it has been silenced by men not called of God to be a Shepard of God who's sheep are not his own . From many years ago so called holy men have perverted the Gospel of Christ . If you open your bibles and read in the gospels the whole word of God you will see error abundant in the church today . Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandants.
Jhn 14:23 ASV - Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Mat 7:13 ASV - Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.
Mat 7:14 ASV - For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
Mat 22:11 ASV - But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:
Mat 22:12 ASV - and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. The called and the chosen the wedding garments of the saints
Rev 19:7 ASV - Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 ASV - And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Rev 19:9 ASV - And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.
Friend you need the Holy Spirit that was given at the very beginning of the church age . The power to live this holy life , Jesus said I will not leave you comfortless I will come unto you
Jhn 14:17 KJV - Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Luk 17:20 ASV - And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 ASV - neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you. Christ in you the hope of glory
Jhn 14:18 KJV - I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Jhn 14:19 KJV - Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Jhn 14:20 KJV - At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
