Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God
Mar 1:12 ASV - And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness. Greek: eremos Wilderness: an adjective signifying "desolate, deserted, lonely," is used as a noun, and rendered "wilderness" 32 times in the AV; in Mat 24:26; Jhn 6:31, RV, "wilderness" God has to separate his children to become their only provider . Love not the world or the things in the world , the wilderness is a type and shadow of the wilderness Mose led the children into for forty years . It was a place where God separate the children from worldly living and in Egypt they had their flesh pots even though they cried out to God to deliver them from their bondage. Jesus is the pattern we are to copy he came to show us the father and his love for man. Jesus had a cross we have a cross he died and rose again on the third day . We to must die to our old man our carnal reasoning trusting in the arm of our flesh to keep us . In bible numerics the number forty is a time of Probation , trials and testing. The children were in the wilderness for forty years , God working with them in grace and mercy . They saw the great signs and wonders God did for them . He even told Moses to take another route in their journey it led to a place of no escape . They were fearful and with out any faith but God love them and wanted to show his great power to them . The red sea was in front of them and Egyptian army behind them , Mose said stand and watch the salvation of your God. He not only saved them through water but destroyed their enemy also. Just as today people do not see or believe they are in a place of decision with no way out but through the water of separation.
1Pe 3:18 ASV - Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
1Pe 3:19 ASV - in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison,
1Pe 3:20 ASV - that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: The ark here is Jesus we abide in Jesus and he abides in us .
Mat 24:38 KJV - For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 KJV - And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. The church must see God is speaking through his word and his spirit , be not conformed unto the world be be transformed by the renewing of your minds and his word is that renewing that transforming of our souls . God is speaking to us through his son and his word of grace. Jas 1:21 ASV - Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. Greek: emphutos Implanted:
"implanted," or "rooted" (from emphuo, "to implant"), is used in Jam 1:21, RV, "implanted," for AV, "engrafted," of the Word of God, as the "rooted word," i.e., a word whose property it is to root itself like a seed in the heart. "The AV seems to identify it with emphuteuton, which however would be out of place here, since the word is sown, not grafted, in the heart" In the parable of the sower Jesus is sowing the word of his father and he said the one who let the seed fall into good ground , which is an honest heart a hungry heart . And that word that goes deep into a mans heart produces one hundred fold of fruit . And the fruit being the very life of Christ in you the hope of Glory.
Mar 1:13 ASV - And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. Here again is the word forty " Mose went upon the mountain also and was alone with God forty days with out food or water . Jesus was driven by the Holy Spirit . And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness he was tempted by satan . Today we are in our wilderness being tempted on every side by satan , but the battle is for your mind it is a spiritual warfare . This is the reason God gave us armor as in Eph 6 , and every piece of armor is very important for our victory .
Mat 4:1 ASV - Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Mat 4:2 ASV - And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered.
Mat 4:3 ASV - And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
Mat 4:4 ASV - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Luk 4:4 ASV - And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone. Jesus is speaking of the bread for the flesh to sustain our flesh . He was the bread that came down from heaven Mat 4:4 ASV - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Jesus is the bread of life Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. I am the bread of life.
Luk 4:5 ASV - And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. Satan is working hard to deceive many to kill steal and destroy as many souls as he can before judgement comes.
Luk 4:6 ASV - And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. Satan says here he has all authority over this fleshly world , he says it was delivered unto him . If God is sovereign over evil
than God has given this evil world over to satan .
This lawless world belongs to satan and he says he can give it to whomsoever he wants. This wicked world is slowly imploding and coming to a place of judgement . 1Jo 2:15 ASV - Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jo 2:16 ASV - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jo 2:17 ASV - And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1Jo 2:18 ASV - Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour. This world has already been condemned by God , Just as in the days of Noah Luk 17:26 ASV - And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
1Pe 3:20 ASV - that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: Remember the verse above I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst , He says he is the bread of Life and the water of separation the cleansing . Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. The washing water of the word , the life of Christ in you the hope of Glory . 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:
And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. There is another wilderness coming for the children of God , Jesus said it himself according to Mat 24:9 ASV - Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name’s sake. His name sake is the power of his name the authority of his name casting out devils , healing the sick working all signs and wonders as to greater things shall you do in my name . Mar 16:15 ASV - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
Mar 16:16 ASV - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
Mar 16:17 ASV - And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mar 16:18 ASV - they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Luk 21:16 ASV - But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
Mar 1:13 ASV - And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. Wild beasts Greek: therion Beast:
to be distinguished from zoon, almost invariably denotes "a wild beast." In Act 28:4, "venomous beast" is used of the viper which fastened on Paul's hand. Zoon stresses the vital element, therion the bestial. The idea of a "beast" of prey is not always present. Once, in Hbr 12:20, it is used of the animals in the camp of Israel, such, e.g., as were appointed for sacrifice: But in the Sept. therion is never used of sacrificial animals; the word ktenos (see below) is reserved for these. This world is beginning die and judgement is coming , people are not just mean and uncaring they are controlled by the very beast the demons Jesus battled with in his wilderness . Look at the world and its evil intentions . Murder and every evil work against children , killing randomly . But it is not random to satan he is working fast to take as many souls to hell with as he can . He owns this evil world and all the beast that inhabit it .
Jesus overcame satan and the beast by the word of God , he did not converse with the devil after every temptation Jesus would quote the word of God , It Is Written satan ! and that is how we over come satan we quote the word of God and believe in the power of his word .
2Co 6:17 ASV - Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,
Rev 18:4 ASV - And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:
God is telling his called out ones to separate from this world as to its evil ways , The world is the Harlot church and its doctrines of demons. Many are called given the invitation to come to the wedding feast of the lamb . And when the master came in to view his guest he saw there a man not clothed with the wedding garments . Now remember the master of the wedding feast told his servants to go and invite as many as you can find And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests. There is a time span here between the invitation and the wedding , God is calling all to repentance salvation is a journey we have to grow and become mature children in his word. The invite is to become righteous and holy make your paths straight before the Lord , What ever is an obstacle in you life as to living holy you must deal with it remove it quickly. You can have no sin in your life before God , that is why Jesus said we shall receive a comforter the Holy Spirit . Only by the power of Gods spirit can we be made holy and righteous. We are saved by grace and Grace is the benefits of obedience to his word and he gave us a gift of faith to build upon.
Jhn 6:51 ASV - I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. Eating this bread is to read and consume his word of truth you feed you spirit man by reading and obeying his word and his blood is the very nature of Jesus all that he is and his fruit . 1Jo 2:5 ASV - but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
1Jo 2:6 ASV - he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
Jhn 6:53 ASV - Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves. You must have his word in you alive and active sharper than any two edged sword.And he is our life he is the very nature of God himself the exact image of his father . We take on the image of Christ as we obey his word and live his very life his nature.
Jhn 6:54 ASV - He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. God is not coming to save this evil world or your carnal flesh , he coming to redeem you SOULS ! And we shall meet him in the air and we shall all be changed. We were made in the likeness of God male and female , Jesus exemplified the very essence of his father . God said let US make man in our likeness . Jesus was with the father before all things were made he is Gods great and wonderful plan for our salvation. Eze 43:10 ASV - Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. Jesus was the pattern son sent from God to reconcile the world back unto himself . 2Co 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Jhn 6:55 ASV - For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. His nature and his character and his authority it is Christ in you the hope of being redeemed and having on the wedding garments .
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.

Having Righteous Acts of A Saint
The parable of the wedding feast
Mat 22:9 ASV - Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.
Mat 22:10 ASV - And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests. The bad here is every one absent from truth and knowledge , we who are saved born again were at one time a bad person void of light , truth. This is parallel to Mar 16:15 ASV - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. God is still creating and working his power in this earth , people are still being born this very moment this is the whole world Jesus was speaking of at that moment . The truth of his gospel at that moment he spoke it and this very moment as you are reading this it is still in force still operating right at this moment . Gods word ! his gospel that Jesus was anointed to preach takes precedence over all of the man made doctrines . The church has been hijacked by apostate men some knowing full well of the deception they perpetrate , and others ignorant of the true light of Gods word for them studying to show themselves approved unto God ! Not Men !! .
He that believe and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieve shall be condemned. This word baptized coming out of the mouth of Jesus , is a matter of life and death to the hearer . To believe and adhere to this commandment will bring life , to not obey and disbelieve will bring condemnation . Water baptism is a type of death to our carnal mind our old self . What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; for he that hath died is justified from sin. This is the baptism Jesus is speaking of , Pick up your cross and follow me , Jesus said those that do not bare their cross in this life are not worthy of me.
Luk 3:16 ASV - John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: Peter said in Acts 2 when ask by the people that heard his words concerning Christ and his death. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, Even As Many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. How Many ? to the Whole Creation until the end of all things. Here again is the word" whole creation Jesus spoke of in Mark 16
Who is this prophecy speaking to Isa 61:1 ASV - The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Luk 4:18 ASV - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, You and I friend we are the people in these two verses the bad and the good , he hath sent me to bind up the broken heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; All great testimonies are born out of great adversity living in darkness and great despair , bearing the scars in the natural and of the spiritual of living in worldly darkness
.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised We were or still are the Captives and living in a blind state of mind and the bruised . This word bruised bring tears to my eyes every time I read it , Bruised Greek: thrauo Bruise: "to smite through, shatter," is used in Luk 4:18, "them that are bruised," i.e., broken by calamity. Satan binds up so many people today with the spirit of rejection a powerful spirit that debilitates and renders them helpless in their daily life's . People that suffer rejection are bruised people shattered life's with no hope of restoration . Children especially children abused mentally and physically in this present dark world . When I see the shattered life I see a Crystal vase being dropped to the floor and it shatters into very small pieces with an impossibility of being put back together . This is what Jesus came for to restore and heal and give liberty to all that will call on his name and believe .
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: 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. This what God is calling us to an invitation to a wedding , and those that receive and respond to this wonderful invitation are given the power to become that bride of Christ the church of his body of believers .
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.
Through the power of Gods spirit abiding in you
Luk 24:49 ASV - And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high. Verse 11 tells of a man who supposed he would be welcomed to the marriage of the lamb disbelieving this great and glorious gospel , not knowing the power of Gods word . 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 . Living in holiness and walking in righteousness obeying these commands of Jesus to his sheep . Jhn 10:27 ASV - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: His voice in in his word of truth the fullness of the true gospel of God . There is only one Gospel
Mat 22:12 ASV - and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. This man was speechless because he believed a lie and not the truth . He was told once you are saved you are always saved , but not the requirements of obedience to this word of salvation . We friend must have righteous acts of a Saint , producing that fruit Jesus spoke of in the parable of the sower of the seed . Falling into the heart the good ground and producing thiry, sixty and even a hundred fold .
Mat 22:13 ASV - Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 ASV - For many are called, but few chosen.
1Co 1:26 ASV - For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1Co 1:27 ASV - but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
1Co 1:28 ASV - and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, yea and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:
1Co 1:29 ASV - that no flesh should glory before God.
1Co 1:30 ASV - But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Making your paths Straight
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. Greek: stenos Narrow: from a root sten--, seen in stenazo, "to groan," stenagmos, "groaning" (Eng., "stenography," lit., "narrow writing"), is used figuratively in Mat 7:13, 14, of the gate which provides the entrance to eternal life, "narrow" because it runs counter to natural inclinations, and "the way" is similarly characterized; so in Luk 13:24 (where the more intensive word agonizomai, "strive," is used); RV, "narrow" (AV, "strait") in each place. Cp. stenochoreo, "to be straitened," and stenochoria, "narrowness, anguish, distress."
Mat 11:11 ASV - Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Mat 11:12 ASV - And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force. Violence Greek: biazo Press (Verb):
in the Middle Voice, "to press violently" or "force one's way into," is translated "presseth" in Luk 16:16, AV, RV, "entereth violently," a meaning confirmed by the papyri. Moulton and Milligan also quote a passage from D.S. Sharp's Epictetus and the NT, speaking of "those who (try to) force their way in;" the verb suggests forceful endeavor. Jesus said this gospel will cost you everything in this world concerning your carnal living . There is a cross to bear for every child of God to cling to and hold fast the commandants of Christ . This word violence is you getting on your cross just as Jesus did physically and you die spiritually to fleshly sins.
Mat 7:14 ASV - For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it. Gate metaphorically, of the "gates" at the entrances of the ways leading to life and to destruction . Straitened is great pressure , to agonize "to press violently" or "force one's way into," is translated "presseth . Jesus said the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church . This violence is not speaking about evil men assaulting the church , Jesus said to love your enemy do good unto those that abuse you turn your cheek . No this word violence is what happens when a man or women determines themselves to take up their cross and follow Jesus and death to their carnal mind.
Rom 8:13 KJV - For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Col 3:5 KJV - Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Mortify Greek: nekroo
Dead:
"to put to death," is used in the Active Voice in the sense of destroying the strength of, depriving of power, with reference to the evil desires which work in the body, Col 3:5. In the Passive Voice it is used of Abraham's body as being "as good as dead," Rom 4:19 with Hbr 11:12.
And not many are willing to go all the way with Jesus , that is why he said many are called but few are chosen . So we must go to the parable of the wedding feast ,
Greek: kletos Call, Called, Calling: invited (to a banquet) invited (by God in the proclamation of the Gospel) to obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom through Christ . Called to the wedding feast of the Lamb .
Chosen Greek: eklektos Elect, Elected, Election: lit. signifies "picked out, chosen" (ek, "from," lego, "to gather, pick out"), and is used of
Luk 12:49 ASV - I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?
Greek: pur Fire: of the holiness of God, which consumes all that is inconsistent therewith, Hbr 10:27; 12:29; cp. Rev 1:14; 2:18; 10:1; 15:2; 19:12; similarly of the holy angels as His ministers, Hbr 1:7; in Rev 3:18 it is symbolic of that which tries the faith of saints, producing what will glorify the Lord;
Luk 12:50 ASV - But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Baptism Greek: baptisma Baptism, Baptist, Baptize:
"baptism," consisting of the processes of immersion, submersion and emergence (from bapto, "to dip"), is used (a) of John's "baptism,"(b) of Christian "baptism," see B. below;
(c) of the overwhelming afflictions and judgments to which the Lord voluntarily submitted on the Cross, e.g., Luk 12:50;
(d) of the sufferings His followers would experience, not of a vicarious character, but in fellowship with the sufferings of their Master.
Straitened Greek: sunecho Anguish:
akin to A, No. 3, lit., "to hold together," is used physically of being held, or thronged, Luk 8:45; 19:43; 22:63; of being taken with a malady, Mat 4:24; Luk 4:38; Act 28:8; with fear, Luk 8:37; of being straitened or pressed in spirit, with desire, Luk 12:50; Act 18:5; Phl 1:23; with the love of Christ, 2Cr 5:14. In one place it is used of the stopping of their ears by those who killed Stephen.
Jesus is the pattern we are to follow , Jesus went to a physical cross ( Mercy ) and rose again, so we can die on our spiritual cross and rise with him to glory (Grace ) . Jesus was the exact image of his father in character and his nature power and strength . And he says that he has given to you everything necessary for Godly living .
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Way Greek: hodos Highway, Highwayside:
"a way, path, road," is rendered "highways" in Mat 22:10; Luk 14:23; in Mar 10:46, RV, "way side," AV, "highway side;" in Mat 22:9, the word is used with diexodoi ("ways out through"), and the phrase is rightly rendered in the RV, "the partings of the highways" (i.e., the crossroads), AV, "the highways."
Truth Greek: aletheia True, Truly, Truth:
where "the truth of God" may be "the truth concerning God" or "God whose existence is a verity;" but in Rom 15:8 "the truth of God" is indicative of His faithfulness in the fulfillment of His promises as exhibited in Christ; the word has an absolute force in Jhn 14:6; 17:17; 18:37, 38; in Eph 4:21, where the RV, "even as truth is in Jesus," gives the correct rendering, the meaning is not merely ethical "truth," but "truth" in all its fullness and scope, as embodied in Him; He was the perfect expression of the truth; this is virtually equivalent to His statement in Jhn 14:6;
Life Greek: zoe Life, Living, Lifetime, Life-Giving:
(Eng., "zoo," "zoology") is used in the NT "of life as a principle, life in the absolute sense, life as God has it, that which the Father has in Himself, and which He gave to the Incarnate Son to have in Himself, Jhn 5:26, and which the Son manifested in the world, 1Jo 1:2. From this life man has become alienated in consequence of the Fall, Eph 4:18, and of this life men become partakers through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Jhn 3:15, who becomes its Author to all such as trust in Him, Act 3:15, and who is therefore said to be 'the life' of the believer, Col 3:4, for the life that He gives He maintains, Jhn 6:35, 63. Eternal life is the present actual possession of the believer because of his relationship with Christ, Jhn 5:24; 1Jo 3:14, and that it will one day extend its domain to the sphere of the body is assured by the Resurrection of Christ, 2Cr 5:4; 2Ti 1:10. This life is not merely a principle of power and mobility, however, for it has moral associations which are inseparable from it, as of holiness and righteousness. Death and sin, life and holiness, are frequently contrasted in the Scriptures.
Gen 1:26 ASV - 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 birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 ASV - And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Col 1:15 ASV - who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
Greek: eikon Image:
of man as he was created as being a visible representation of God, 1Cr 11:7, a being corresponding to the original; the condition of man as a fallen creature has not entirely effaced the "image;" he is still suitable to bear responsibility, he still has Godlike qualities, such as love of goodness and beauty, none of which are found in a mere animal; in the Fall man ceased to be a perfect vehicle for the representation of God; God's grace in Christ will yet accomplish more than what Adam lost;

Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
As Living Stones
1 peter 4 AMP Come to Him [the risen Lord] as to a living Stone which men rejected and threw away, but which is choice and precious in the sight of God. 5 You [believers], like living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For this is contained in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen stone, a precious (honored) Cornerstone,
And he who believes in Him [whoever adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] will never be disappointed [in his expectations].
Mat 16:18 ASV - And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
Peter = "a rock or a stone" Jesus changed Peters name as to the revelation of what God had shown Peter . If a man does not build his house , which is his body upon this great revelation the stone of redemption . He is building his house upon sand , Matt 7: 25-27
In the end God is not coming to save our flesh it will go the way of the earth back to dirt. God put a soul in that body and that is what Jesus has come for , to redeem your soul to save man kind from his old sinful nature. 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: The word Image is so wonderful as to God had no body he was spirit and he created you in his Image . So what is that Image , But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, this is the very nature of Jesus Christ . The word name Onoma Greek for all that a "name" implies, of authority, character, rank, majesty, power, excellence, etc., of everything that the "name" covers: It is not enough to just say his name Jesus = "Jehovah is salvation" The word says in John 1 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: That is why when Jesus rose again he went to his disciples to show his power and for them to be a witness to his resurrection . He said he would come again he was there to show them his resurrected body he died but is alive for evermore.
He than spoke these words to them and to you and the whole creation even until the end of all things .
Mar 16:14 ASV - And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen.
Mar 16:15 ASV - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
Mar 16:16 ASV - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
Mar 16:17 ASV - And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my NAME shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; this is what Jesus is speaking to his people today.
Mar 16:18 ASV - they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Why is this not preached today in the church it is a commandment of Christ . 1Co 11:28 KJV - But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. The bread is Christ his word and the cup is his blood his very nature his life is in the blood.
1Co 11:29 KJV - For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
1Co 11:30 KJV - For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
1Co 11:31 KJV - For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
Mar 16:19 ASV - So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Adam failed but God gave man kind a remedy for Adams disobedience because we are all born of Adam so we all naturally fall under Adams curse. Jesus was sent as the last Adam , and was the pattern we are to follow the stone of redemption a precious stone .
Gen 1:27 ASV - And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. So Jesus spoke that no man has seen God at any time save he the son of God I have seen him and know him . And Jesus said he came in his fathers Name . He also speaks that God is a spirit and every one that worships God must worship God in Spirit and in Truth .
Greek: eikon Image: of Christ in relation to God, 2Cr 4:4, "the image of God," i.e., essentially and absolutely the perfect expression and representation of the Archetype, God the Father; in Col 1:15, "the image of the invisible God" gives the additional thought suggested by the word "invisible," that Christ is the visible representation and manifestation of God to created beings; the likeness expressed in this manifestation is involved in the essential relations in the Godhead, and is therefore unique and perfect; "he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father," Jhn 14:9.
1Pe 2:4 ASV - unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,
1Pe 2:5 ASV - ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1Pe 2:6 ASV - Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
1Pe 2:7 ASV - For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;
1Pe 2:8 ASV - and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Deu 30:19 Therefore choose life, That thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;
Jhn 10:17 ASV - Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. Jesus saw his cross at a far distance and with every day it came closer. In the three years of his life on this earth he also told his children of a cross they shall bare . You will not hear much of a cross even the cross in the organized church today. Mat 10:38 ASV - And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. Many commandants Jesus made in his journey to his cross his word is still true . He spoke of a promise of eternal life but there was a requirement of you and I to obey . Die to self put to death our carnal man , Jesus said not my will oh lord but your will be done. Jesus speaks of a door everyone of his sheep must go through to enter into that eternal life. Jesus said I not only give you life eternal but I give it to you more abundantly. His death his burial and his resurrection , this is the requirement we must complete our-self's.
Rom 6:3 ASV - Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Water baptism is not some formality of mans religion that they have determined to become a member of Gods church . Just has no meaning at all to the church today . It is the most important thing a man must do , Repent and be Baptized every one of YOU and you in the name of Jesus and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost . This is the promise of the father Jesus spoke of that was hinged upon his death burial and resurrection
Water baptism is to die to your carnal life and resurrecting to newness of life in Christ Jesus
Mankind is born of Adams loins and Adam and all his offspring are under the curse of disobedience to Gods word . Gen 3:17 ASV - And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 1Co 15:22 ASV - For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:45 ASV - So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 2Co 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Reconciliation Greek: katallasso Reconcile, Reconciliation:
properly denotes "to change, exchange" (especially of money); hence, of persons, "to change from enmity to friendship, to reconcile." With regard to the relationship between God and man, the use of this and connected words shows that primarily "reconciliation" is what God accomplishes, exercising His grace towards sinful man on the ground of the death of Christ in propitiatory sacrifice under the judgment due to sin, 2Cr 5:19, where both the verb and the noun are used (cp. No. 2, in Col 1:21). By reason of this men in their sinful condition and alienation from God are invited to be "reconciled" to Him; that is to say, to change their attitude, and accept the provision God had made, whereby their sins can be remitted and they themselves be justified in His sight in Christ. The first Adam failed in his plan of God . Jesus the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Rom 6:4 ASV - We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 ASV - For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;
Rom 6:6 ASV - knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
Rom 6:7 ASV - for he that hath died is justified from sin. Love not the world nor the things in the world .
Jhn 10:18 ASV - No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from some other place, that one is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep [the protector and provider]. 3 The doorkeeper opens [the gate] for this man, and the sheep hear his voice and pay attention to it. And [knowing that they listen] he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out [to pasture]. 4 When he has brought all his own sheep outside, he walks on ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice and recognize his call. 5 They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what He was talking about.
John 10 : 7 AMP So Jesus said again, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I am the Door for the sheep [leading to life]. 8 All who came before Me [as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders] are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security). 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
Phl 3:8 ASV - 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 12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Obedience to Gods word will renew our carnal minds and transform us into the mind of Christ .
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:
Phl 3:10 ASV - that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death; Conformed Greek: summorphizo
Conformed, Conformable:
"to make of like form with another person or thing, to render like" (sun, "with," morphe, "a form"), is found in Phl 3:10 (in the Passive Participle of the verb), "becoming conformed" (or "growing into conformity") to the death of Christ, indicating the practical apprehension of the death of the carnal self, and fulfilling his share of the sufferings following upon the sufferings of Christ. Some texts have the alternative verb summorphoo, which has practically the same meaning. Rom 12 uses the word fashioned , We cannot serve two masters love one and hate the other . Love the word For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Luk 13:24 ASV - Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luk 13:25 ASV - When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are; Whence of origin or source: from what author or giver . Jesus is saying I do not recognize you from what household were you born of . But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. We must have a true relationship with Jesus we must conform our life unto his . This is what he is saying if you are born of my father I will know you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go, ye know the way. He is saying pick up your cross and follow me he has given us this precious word of truth it will conform us into that son of God . Salvation is a life's journey it is Gods grace we all need . A daily renewing of life with Jesus he said my sheep know my voice they hear me . And whither I go, ye know the way. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way? Jesus is going to his cross he is going to prepare a place for you and I , In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Heb 12:14 ASV - Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: Sanctification Greek: hagiasmos Holiness, Holy, Holily: the resultant state, the conduct befitting those so separated, 1Th 4:3, 4, 7, and the four other places mentioned above. "Sanctification" is thus the state predetermined by God for believers, into which in grace He calls them, and in which they begin their Christian course and so pursue it. Hence they are called "saints" (hagioi). We are saved by Grace and Grace is Gods benefits the power to become holy and separate from this world .
Luk 13:26 ASV - then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets;
Luk 13:27 ASV - and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Mat 25:10 ASV - And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 ASV - Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 ASV - But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Mat 7:21 ASV - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 ASV - Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?
Mat 7:23 ASV - And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Iniquity Lawlessness 1Jo 3:4, the RV adheres to the real meaning of the word, "every one that doeth sin (a practice, not the committal of an act) doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness." This definition of sin sets forth its essential character as the rejection of the law, or will, of God and the substitution of the will of self.
So we see here that the ones that Jesus said to depart from him are the ones in 1John 3 , children do not be deceived God will not dwell in sin . This is speaking of people in the church today using the gifts of God but they have willful sin in their life's . Jesus says that his father will not abide in a lawless person , sin is lawlessness .
Luk 10:17 ASV - And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name. In his name the Character the nature and all authority all that his name implies.
Luk 10:19 ASV - Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. Tread to advance by setting foot upon, tread upon: to encounter successfully the greatest perils from the machinations and persecutions with which Satan would fain thwart the preaching of the gospel
Luk 10:20 ASV - Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. Gods children must realize that willful sin will keep you out of Gods kingdom . 1John 3 Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him. My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Mat 7:26 ASV - And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:
Mat 7:27 ASV - and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.
Being able to manifest the gifts of God are an absolute , but they will not get you in to heaven . The scripture above proves it , And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jhn 1:12-13 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Everything of Adam still living in you must die you must take on the incorruptible seed of Gods word Christ in you the hope of Glory. this verse is speaking about what Jesus is saying below , except you die to self and be born anew .
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God .
1Jo 2:1 ASV - My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Jo 1:9 ASV - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Phl 3:11 ASV - if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead.
