OH HEAVENLY soul, AS WE KNOW THERE ARE MANY SO-CALLED Christian RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD TODAY. VARIOUS CHURCHES, AND END-TIME GROUPS, AND Reconciliation OF ALL THINGS GROUPS, AND SONSHIP GROUPS, AND EVEN SO-CALLED MESSIANIC GROUPS, WHO ALL SAY THAT THEY ARE OF OUR LORD'S MERCY AND FAITH. BUT! IF NONE OF THESE ARE OF OUR LORD'S LAW OF MERCY AND FAITH, HOW CAN THEY BE OF OUR LORD'S MERCY AND FAITH? THEREFORE! IT BEHOOVES EVERY HEAVENLY SOUL WHO IS TRULY SEEKING AFTER, OR CONFESSES TO BE OF THE LAW OF OUR LORD'S MERCY AND FAITH, TO DILIGENTLY LOOK INTO THE LAW OF OUR LORD'S MERCY AND FAITH, TO SEE HOW TO FIND IT, OR TO SEE IF THEY HAVE IT AND ARE WALKING IN IT. COME NOW ALL YOU SO-CALLED Christian RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD TODAY. COME NOW ALL YOU VARIOUS CHURCHES, AND END-TIME GROUPS, AND Reconciliation OF ALL THINGS GROUPS, AND SONSHIP GROUPS, AND EVEN SO-CALLED MESSIANIC GROUPS, LET US BY LOOKING INTO THE LAW OF OUR LORD'S MERCY AND FAITH, SEE IF YOU ARE TRULY SEEKING IT, OR IF YOU ARE TRULY OF IT. OH HEAVENLY soul, ARE YOU WILLING TO hear and come to understand That THERE IS ONLY ONE LAW THAT IS OF OUR LORD'S MERCY AND FAITH? HIS HEAVENLY SCRIPTURE CALLS you NOW to THIS HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LAW OF WISDOM ABOVE, so that entering into THIS LAW, your soul will find the eternal life that it was first created for.
And as you go to look at it, you will have to be willing to lay down and leave off, YOUR CARNAL LOVE OF EARTHLY RELIGIONS OF THIS WORLD BELOW, AND ANY carnal earthly thoughts THAT YOU MAY HAVE HAD about OUR LORD'S ONE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LAW OF MERCY AND FAITH. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DO THIS, you will NOT be able to enter into HIS ONE HEAVENLY KINGDOM LAW. THE ONE LAW OF HIS MERCY AND HIS FAITH (JOHN 8:23, 1JOHN 4:5-6). But
IF YOU ARE WILLING TO do this, IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TURN AWAY FROM THE
IMPIOUS DELUSIONS OF
AND BY ENTERING HIS ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LAW, YOU HEAVENLY SOUL, FOR ALL ETERNITY, WILL BE ABLE TO WEAR IT AS A CROWN. SHOWING ALL HIS ETERNAL CREATION, THE ONE LORD'S LAW OF HIS MERCY AND FAITH, WHICH IS THE GREAT PEARL OF HIS WISDOM ABOVE. LET US LOOK NOW AT
WHAT KING DAVID (A MAN AFTER OUR LORD'S OWN HEART) HAS TO SAY ABOUT OUR
LORD'S LAW.
THE LAW OF GOD'S MERCY AND FAITH In Psalm 19:7, it is written, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” The word, "perfect", being used here, means (as we see in Strong's Bible Concordance); truth-sound - without blemish -without spot - undefiled. So, here we see
that it is the law OF THE LORD
(i.e.,
IT IS the law of the Spirit,
A SPIRITUAL LAW, for OUR Lord is a
Spirit, ~John 4:24, 2 Cor.3:15-17~),
that is the doctrine of truth,
the
doctrine that is
The word, "converting", being used here, means; to restore. So, here we see that it is the law OF THE LORD (i.e., it is the law of the Spirit, A SPIRITUAL LAW, for the Lord is a Spirit, John 4:24), that restores our soul to the truth. And makes it without blemish, without spot, and undefiled. The word, "wise", being used here means; to teach wisdom. So, here we see
that it is the law OF THE LORD
(i.e.,
it is
the law of the Spirit,
A SPIRITUAL LAW, for the Lord is a
Spirit, John 4:24),
that teaches our soul wisdom.
THOSE WHO RUN WITH THE BRIDEGROOM In verse five of this Psalm, it is written, “Which is as a bridegroom coming out of His chamber, and rejoiceth as a strongman to run a race.” Psalm 19:5 Here we see that
those
who are like the
bridegroom (I.E., THOSE WHO
ARE LIKE THE LORD), and
who are running the race
in the SPIRITUAL law of God’s
immortal Word ( They are showing forth by this doctrine, the glorious saving wonders of God’s mercy and faith, THAT IS found in His law. They are like the
Apostles, for they know what THE APOSTLE'S DUTY WAS. For they know, that it was the duty of the Lord’s apostles who preached the LORD'S gospel of mercy and faith: to establish the law amongst the brethren as it is written, “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea,
we
establish the law.” Romans 3:31.
THE NEW
LAW CONQUERS EVIL Indeed, our Savior Himself, when He came and put on flesh, and walked among men, showed us that Satan himself, is only defeated, i.e. only overcome, by the new law. For in Luke 4:1-13, there is laid before us three great examples, that show us all, that when the Prince of righteousness, life, and goodness, i.e. our Lord Jesus Christ, fought with the prince of unrighteousness, death, and evil, i.e. Satan; our Lord fought off Satan with no other doctrine, but the law, as it is written, “And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Luke 4:4 and Deuteronomy 8:3 And again, “And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.” Luke 4:8, Deuteronomy 6:13 And again, “And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” Luke 4:12, Deuteronomy 6:16 Seeing then, all these things to be scripturally (doctrinally) sound, someone might ask, “How can one get
this law, in order to walk in that true doctrine, which is sound, without
blemish, without spot, and undefiled? How can one be converted, and
restored, in order to be able to stand with the bridegroom, and His saints;
in order to receive that which the apostles sought to establish, in order to
receive that which overcomes Satan?” The answer to all things is in how we
enter scripture. For the Lord said, that there are
“Enter ye in at the
straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction (i.e. perdition), and many there be which go in thereat:
because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it.” Here we see that the Lord said,
few
find the way of life; yet nonetheless, He said it can be found. It all has
to do with how we enter the law and the prophets. How we seek the
Word of the law and the prophets.
MERCY
AND FAITH FOUND IN THE LAW If we want to be saved, i.e. born again, and find eternal life, then we must first understand that this can come only by God’s mercy and faith. As it is written, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten (born) us again unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Pet.1:3. And again, “ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”, Eph.2:8. Here we see that one is saved by mercy and faith. And this mercy and faith is found only in the new law. As it is written, “ Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment (the word judgment used here, means=DIVINE LAW), mercy, and faith: (here we see that they DID NOT bring forth GOD'S LAW, i.e., they DID NOT BRING FORTH THE LAW OF FAITH Rom.3:31)These ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.” Matt 23:23. Here we see that GOD'S mercy and faith are found ONLY IN the Law. True, the Scribes and Pharisees did not know THE LAW OF GOD'S MERCY AND FAITH, and so did not bring it forth, but still it was there in the law. That’s why the law is called the law of faith, as it is written, “ Where is boasting
then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? Nay: But by
the law of faith.”
Rom. 3:27. The Scribes and the Pharisees did not find God’s mercy and faith of eternal life in the law, because they entered it the wrong way. They entered the law in the way of perdition. They entered the law seeking to establish their own righteousness. As it is written, “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about (i.e. seeking) to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” Rom.10:3. Here we see
“ But seek
(i.e., worship) ye first the
Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you” Matt 6:33. For
“For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.” Rom 7:14. And the Lord Himself confirmed this, for it is written; “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.“ John 6:63 For the law speaks of God’s righteousness. It is the law (i.e. His Word of mercy and faith) of His kingdom. To try to enter it by putting God’s righteousness (i.e. His Word of mercy and faith ) aside, is to transgress against it, which is sin. As it is written, “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is transgression of the law.” 1 John 3:4 For in order for anyone not to transgress against God’s law, God’s only begotten Word of mercy and faith; one must enter it seeking only God’s kingdom and God’s righteousness; God’s mercy and God’s faith. No other kingdom, no other righteousness, no other mercy, no other faith; but God’s. So that doing so, one can be saved by the precepts (commandments) of the law. As it is written, “I will never forget thy precepts (commandments):
for with them thou hast quickened (i.e. saved) me.” For, in order to not
transgress against
the spiritual law,
when entering into it,
For without having new parents (Father and Mother), it is impossible to obey the law that gives eternal life unto its recipients. For the law commands, “Honour thy Father and thy Mother.” And we know, that by keeping this commandment (and the other commandments), according to their life giving spiritual meaning, one enters into eternal life. As it is written, “And behold, one came and said unto Him, good master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And He said unto him, why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto Him, which? Jesus said, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy Father and thy Mother: and, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” Matt 19:16-19. Here we see that eternal life is found in the commandment, "Honour thy Father and thy Mother"
For in Galatians
4:21-31, we see that the true children of God, the true children of Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob and Moses; The true children of the prophets, the Apostles and
the saints, throughout all ages trusting in the cross of Christ, had a
different Mother than those who did not, throughout all ages, trust in
the cross of Christ. For in Galatians 4:21-31, we see that
the Mother of the true spiritual
children of Abraham, is the New Covenant, the new law, This is the Mother
from above, that mankind lost in the fall. For in losing his heavenly birth,
mankind lost his heavenly Mother. This heavenly Mother is called wisdom above. This is the Mother that is not known by earthly children that are from below. But wisdom above is indeed a Mother, and has children. As it is written, “ The son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.” Matt.11:19. And again, “But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the Mother of us all.” Gal. 4:26. This is the only Mother that is full of mercy and good fruits. As it is written, “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” James 3:17. This is the Mother that gives grace onto her children. As it is written, “My
son, hear the instruction of thy Father, and forsake not
the law
of thy Mother: for they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head,
and chains about thy neck.” Proverbs 1:8-9. This is the Mother of the firstfruits (sonship) company, as it is written, “Wisdom is the principal thing (the words 'principal thing', used here mean =firstfruits); therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7. Here we see that only the children of the law of wisdom above, are the children of sonship; the children that have the firstfruits. For wisdom and understanding only come to us by the law, as it is written, “Behold, I have taught you statutes
and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye
should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do
them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the
nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great
nation is a wise and understanding people.” Deuteronomy 4:5-6. And so, in Gal.4:21-31, we see that the Scribes and Pharisees who tried to enter the law apart from seeking God’s righteousness, God’s saving Word of mercy and faith that is in His law, could not possibly keep His law. For they had not the
Mother of mercy and faith from above. For they dwelt in perdition, in
Jerusalem below with her carnal wisdom,
just as
This false way of trying to enter God's heavenly Spiritual law by the works of the carnal flesh, this perdition, is sometimes called; the works of the law. For example, as it is written, “ But Israel, which followed after (i.e. sought) the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at the stumbling stone.” Rom.9:31-33 It is unlawful to try to enter God's law this way. Therefore, if anyone tries to enter God's law this way, the eyes of their soul, will not be able to see life, so as to run after it and find it, and live. The ears of their soul, will not be able to hear the immortal law of spirit and life, so as to hear the gospel and be saved, as it is written, "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace
is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise
work is no more work. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for;
But the election hath obtained it, and the rest were
blinded. (according as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of
slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;)
unto this day." Rom.11:6-8 Here we see that without the Word of God’s grace, without the Word of God’s faith, etc., the eyes of the soul, the ears of the soul, will not be able to obtain the saving law of faith. But here we also see, that there is an election who will obtain it. If we want to be of that election, then we must believe in God’s law of righteousness, we must believe that God can write His law of righteousness in our hearts. We must believe that this is the risen spiritual law of righteousness, which is God’s Word of faith. This is the Law
(Word)
Moses and the apostles preached the very same SPIRITUAL WORD OF FAITH. FOR MOSES PREACHED CHRIST "THE WORD", "WHO IS THE SPIRITUAL LAW", as it is written, “ If thou shalt harken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. For this commandment which I command thee this day, is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shoudest say, who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it ? But the Word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it” Deut. 30:10-14. And again, "For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth these things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is to bring Christ down from above) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? ( that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the Word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom.10-5-10.
FOR OUR BELOVED APOSTLE PAUL SAID WHEN SPEAKING ABOUT "THE WORD" THAT MOSES BROUGHT FORTH IN DEUT.30:10-14, THAT THAT "WORD", WAS THE SAME "WORD OF FAITH" THAT THE APOSTLES WERE PREACHING. FOR PAUL SAID:
"...that is, the Word
of faith, which we preach"
Rom. 10:8. Here we see that
Christ is the law,
the Word of faith that both Moses and the apostles preached.
Here we see that if we will confess with our mouth
(i.e. be able to bring forth revelation
of this law) and believe in our
heart, that, that law, that Word that Moses and the apostles preached has
been raised from the dead, (i.e., from the carnal to the spiritual) then we will be saved by
its righteousness. For God’s mercy is His law. For if God forgives us our sins, and remembers them no more, then it is clear that he has had mercy on us. And this can only happen if we have His laws written in our hearts. Only then will the one Lord God of Moses and the apostles be our one Lord God, as it is written, “ But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;
After those days, saith the Lord, I will
put my law in their inward
parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and
they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord: for they shall
all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the
Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their
sin no more” Jer. 31:33-34. THE BAPTISMAL FOUNTAIN This is the baptismal
fountain of God’s mercy and faith. For the
SAVING FAITH AND GRACE OF OUR LORD'S
BAPTISM ( For it is clear from
scripture that only the Church, the flesh, the very body ( From these scriptures we see that only His body, which is called HIS CHURCH, possesses THE SAVING GRACE OF BAPTISM. For the Lord only granted HIS BAPTISM TO HIS CHURCH. For the Lord Jesus Christ only granted THE GRACE OF HIS BAPTISM TO HIS CHURCH, i.e., HIS BODY, HIS VERY FLESH AND BONE. That is why it is
written that there is
only ONE BAPTISM
( Therefore, come Oh HEAVENLY soul, and find OUR LORD'S HEAVENLY law of mercy and faith, IN HIS BAPTISMAL FOUNTAIN. CONTACT US TO INQUIRE INTO THESE THINGS MORE DEEPLY. The Living Sword Ministries The Living Sword
