I'M IN

I'M IN

You have a choice to take the "good Seeds' from the word of God or not as we discussed in the last 5 posts.  You are either "IN" or you are "OUT".  Those are the two choices, IN or OUT.  

Today is three days after Easter which is the day Jesus resurrected from His death on the cross.  Why did Jesus die on the Cross?  There are three major things in  three parts of the Holy Bible, the lawlessness of Genesis, the Law of Moses from Exodus to Malachi, and the Law Fulfilled in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to Jude.  

The Lawless:  First, he died for our sins thanks to Adam and Eve being deceived into eating the fruit by Satan (Serpent) in the Garden of Eden.  Jesus breathed the first breath in Adam (Genesis 2) and the last breath on the Cross.  When Jesus says "It is finished" in John 19:30 that is what he is talking about.  His first breath into Adam to the Jesus last breath on the Cross.  The breath of God upon mankind is complete, or as Jesus said "It is finished".  

The Law:  Second, Jesus fulfilled the OT law including tithes and offerings.  It says in Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."  In essence, Jesus fulfills all 613 Old Testament Laws, He fulfills all Old Covenants & Testaments, and He made a New Testament & Covenant with Man that salvation can only be through faith and works in Jesus Christ.  He was also the sacrifice as the Lamb of God which means animal sacrifice was complete.  That is why we don't sacrifice sheep or any animal.  Jesus was and is the sacrifice as the Lamb of God.  

Law Fulfilled:  Third, Jesus fulfilled the law so gentiles could have access to Heaven along with the chosen Jewish people of the OT.  If Jesus does not die on the cross, I and many of you do not have access to God and Heaven except through conversion into Judaism.  The good news is Jesus did die on the cross and was resurrected three days later.  This allows Jesus to speak the Word of God to us through the Holy Bible in good seeds for Christians to have faith and with that faith do works for God.  

End Times:  There is a fourth point but some of us won't be alive to experience it.  I do feel sorry for Christians and Non believers that go through the end times.  Jesus died on the Cross to protect us from the end times in Revelation which includes plagues, pestilence, severe droughts, famines, earthquakes, war, and persecution.   The names of Christians and Jewish people will be written in the Lambs book of life because the Lamb, Jesus, was slain on the Cross.  The unfortunate part is some Christians will be alive during the end times that was prophesied about in Revelation.  

When Jesus walked on earth, it is important to note that He did not concern Himself with the Jewish religious leaders, the Roman leadership, or the mob but a much bigger enemy in Satan (serpent) who caused and continues to cause the fall of man into hell.  Jesus gave mankind, Jews and Gentiles, a way into Heaven.  That is why when you read John 3:16  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'  It is so much bigger knowing these three points and the end times.  That is why the Lineage  found in Luke is important to understand that Jesus came as a direct descendant of Adam & Seth through the Patriarchs Abraham, Issac, Jacob and into David through his mother Mary.

These things could not happen overnight.  It took 400 years in bondage and slavery after the death of Joseph (Genesis) for God to call Moses to lead the Israelite's to the promised land.  It took 1400-1500 years from Moses to Jesus to the cross.  Jesus refused to stoop to the level of those who hated Him.  His main concern was a pathway for Jews and Gentiles to be written in the Lamb's book of life for eternity in Heaven.  I ask all readers to read it for yourself, Revelation 21:4-7, as this is the reward in Heaven.  Praise God.  

Are you IN or OUT?  It is your decision.  If you are "IN", ask Jesus to give you an ear to hear and understand the Word of God.  Ask Jesus into your heart, soul, mind and strength leading to faith and works for Christ on this earth until the glorious day when we depart for Heaven.  Again, Are You "IN"?
