Gospel, English Part 1, Chapter 1 : Divine Purpose of the coming of ChristThis is a featured page

THE DIVINE PURPOSE OF THE COMING OF CHRIST INTO THE WORLD:

Why did the Son of God, Jesus Christ, come? Although we have taken this up briefly in the early part of this epistle, let me further expound on this important topic for herein lies the deeper foundation of our Faith in God and in Christ Jesus. Principally, the Messiah or Christ came TO DO THE WILL OF GOD. As it is written, Wherefore when He cometh into the World, He saith, Sacrifice and Offering Thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared for me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for Sin Thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the Book it is written of me) to do thy will, 0 God (HEBREWS 10:5-7).

So, Christ came, not to do his own will, but the Will of Him (God, The Father) Who hast sent him; By the which Will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Christ once and for all (HEBREWS 10:10).

And this, as we've earlier discussed is the Free Gift of God, a Divine Grace, that came by Jesus Christ unto all who would believe. But then again. What do we behove in Christ Jesus to attain this Grace?

Believe in all THE WORDS of God that comes out of the Mouth of Christ, for it is the WILL of God that His Christ speak all His WORDS to the People; as God foretold unto Moses, I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My Words in his mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My Words which he shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him. (DEUT 18:18-19). And thus, in the appointed time when Jesus Christ began His preaching he cried, saying, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on Him that sent me. He that rejected me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judge him: the Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but The Father Which sent me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His Commandment is Life Everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as The Father said unto me, so I speak (JOHN 12:44-50).

Again, our Lord Jesus saith, My Doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me. If any man will do His Will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh His Glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him (JOHN 7:16-18).

We now, therefore, the more plainly see that the Son of God, the Christ who came in the flesh, did not preach of himself but of God, and the Words that proceedeth out of his mouth are God's Own Words, unto which we have to believe with all Faith. For aside from being annointed as the Lamb of God that would take away the sins of the world, Christ Jesus, by the same glorious Will of God, was also sent to bear witness or testify unto The TRUTH.

As the Lord Jesus declared before Pilate, saying, To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I SHOULD BEAR WITNESS UNTO THE TRUTH. EVERY ONE that is of the Truth heareth My Voice (JOHN 18:37) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in my Word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and .ye shall know The TRUTH, and The Truth shall make you free (JOHN 8:31-32).

And so the Christ, in the person of the Man Jesus, came to testify or to bear witness unto The Truth, Whereunto be­lieving, we shall be made free. Free, from the bondage of Sin and the Lie that transgresseth against the Truth.

And in the same token, the book of Revelations wrote of him. And from Jesus Christ, who is the Faithful Witness, and the First Begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the Earth, Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood (REV 1:5). Also, the apostle John declared that he was exiled in the island called Patmos for The Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ (REV 1:9).

And when John, the beloved disciple, was about to worship the angel who showed him all the great and wonderful things that would soon come to pass, he was admonished by the angel, saying. See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the Testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy (REV 19:10).

Thus, brethren, it is but truly needful and profitable for all believers to know and receive the Testimony of our Lord Jesus unto the Truth. But it is very sad to note that only a few has truly understood and thereby received the Testimony of Jesus or the Truth that came by Jesus Christ. WHY? Because the Truth is kept as the holy Mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven, given only unto them who are called of God out of a real Faith in Jesus Christ.

CHRIST SPOKE IN PARABLES, IN PROVERBS; OF WORDS NOT EASILY UNDERSTOOD BY ANY CARNAL MAN:
