JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 496

SO WHEN JESUS HAD RECEIVED THE SOUR WINE, HE SAID, "IT IS FINISHED"...AND BOWING HIS HEAD HE GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT.....JOHN 19:30.

A LIFE BUILT OUT OF RUIN
(Jesus dealt with the flesh at the Cross)
 
There is no meaning to life on earth without 'the cross of the Christ' being the foundation and theme. Unless we go willingly to the cross (as he/Jesus did for us) laying down our lives for him who died for us we continue to live loving the things of this life and pampering the flesh.

Forever thinking that our joy, peace, fulfillment and place in this life is 'out there somewhere' waiting for us to find it, the old trial and error job, certainly degenerated thinking, the exact way I lived and operated pre-sainthood. I had more jobs than feeds and every position miserably missed the target that Almighty God/Jesus the Christ had prepared for me before I was born of a woman.......Job 14:1.

At the cross we miraculously find us, fulfillment, our call/lot in this life and most of all we find a real live present-day relationship with our maker/Jesus the Christ-Almighty God.....click.

The nearest we shall ever get to 'the cross' of the Christ, his death, burial and resurrection power is to walk in the sin destroying light of his infallible word/doctrine.....Romans 8:13, 14.

The (temporary ruination) of the Christ made for the building up of broken down sinful lives unto the ultimate in establishing, which is salvation to the uttermost. You can build your life on intellect, family reputation, earthly inheritance or a family business and still remain empty, unfulfilled and lost. Or you may have some sort of security within these walls but the truth is, there is only one rock....and he said ...'it is finished'!.....click.

'It is finished' relates to and concerns your entire life...spirit, soul and body and let me add, all that concerns you or me today, it is finished, dealt with, attended to and sorted....in the Christ, through the Christ and by the Christ, that is if you do what he says in his word/doctrine...neat hey. A real one stop eternal life shop, the price is your known sin.

No man, woman or youth tries to obey Jesus (that is a lie and a cop-out) you either decide to do what he says or you don't. You either will to or not and if you will...he will empower you to do what he wants you to do. The mutilation of 'Romans 7:19' can go on no longer, at least not while there is such script as.... 1 Corinthians 10:12, Romans 6:18-23......click.

Psychology may provide a soft pillow for the unrepentant, insubordinate and the self-deceived as does twisted doctrines such as 'salvation by election/alias unable to forfeit ones salvation but 'the cross' can only ever provide a soul with 'salvation to the uttermost'. Obedience to the Christ's Doctrine is in fact our cross, picking up our cross and this alone enables us to follow the rejected Messiah.

When we willingly and lovingly decide (within our heart of hearts) to do this we are automatically empowered by our almighty God/Yahweh to carry out all messianic tasks laid before us....all because 'it is finished'. To say otherwise is to say....it is not finished or part finished or worse it hasn't started and he/Jesus hasn't even bothered to consider your trials. Maybe even a more sad situation would be the Jewish (unsaved Judaic Jew) slant on life up to now/2009, which is 'Messiah has not yet come'....click.

Therefore, how can we be expected to live a holy life, perfect/obedient in his sight, so let's just get religious, get the robes out, the incense, the flags, icons, relics and try our best, after all, we all make mistakes. Mistakes are unconscious but wilful-ongoing-unrepented sin is damnable......2 Thessalonians 1:8....Selah. A glorious life was built for the holy remnant out of his temporary ruin, he rose again.

PS....Repent, make Jesus the Christ (your God) number one in your life and reap eternal accommodation in utopia/heaven/ the third heaven, I'll finish there for now....Selah
