Love Fulfilled Ministry

You are also in him, hearing the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in him, also believing you were marked of the promised Holy Spirit who is the guarantor of our inheritance to the extent redemption of his own  (Ephesians 1:13-14) When we hear the gospel and believe we are marked or sealed with the Holy Spirit. This marking or sealing is to the extent of His own, as Paul writes in a previous verse, he predestined us for adoption as his own (Ephesians 1:4). We also know that we receive a Spirit of adoption who cries Abba Father and testifies that we are God's children and fellow heirs with Christ (Romans 8:15-17). We can connect the sealing and marking of the Spirit to receiving and new birth of the Spirit, which is connected to our inheritance. We are birth into the kingdom of God through the Spirit and this occurs when we hear and believe the gospel. I tell you the solemn truth, unless any is born anew he can't see the kingdom of God... I tell you the solemn truth ...

 I call for you therefore brethren through the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, that your reasonable service (Romans 12:1) Some translations say that this is the proper way to worship God, to present your body as a living sacrifice. It is reasonable or logical service to do this if you are a child of God. There is no other service or sacrifice or offering greater from you. the one loving his life loses it and the one hating his life in this world keeps it to the extent of eternal life (John 12:25) "For whoever wills to save his life loses it but whoever loses his life for me finds it" (Matthew 16:25). In Christ we receive all spiritual blessings from God; chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, favored, and sealed or marked with the Holy Spirit. When we heard and believed the gospel (Ephesians 1:13-14). So we have eternal life and a new birth of the Spirit, having the testimony of spirit and blood. Inwardly we delight in t...

when then shall we say, not injustice on God's part, by no means For he says to Moses 'I will have mercy on whom I have mercy and show grace on whom I am gracious' (Romans 9:14) Paul quotes the scriptures in Exodus 33:19. If you continue to read the story through Numbers God was not very merciful towards Israel. They complained and they died. They tried offering incense when God did not want them to and they died. They were afraid to go into the promised land so God told them they would all die wondering in the wilderness except for Caleb and Joshua. After God said this many gathered and tried to go into the land to take it as if they had repented for their unbelief but they died. I was really feeling backward reading this but then God reminded me 'I will have mercy on whom I have mercy.' So then God has mercy on whom he wills and hardens whom he wills (Romans 9:18) It is a spiritual blessing to be chosen and called by God, to receive blessings from the riches of hi...

Faithfully Abel offered to God a greater sacrifice than Cain, through which he testified existing righteous, God testifying to the extent of his gift through his faith, and dead still he speaks (Hebrews 11:4) Abel was a keeper of sheep while Cain worked the ground. Cain brought before the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, and "Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions And the Lord looked favorably upon Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he did not look" (Genesis 4:1-6). Abel testified of his faith through his deed, and it was accounted unto him as righteousness. What did Abel do that God would look favorably upon him and count him righteous? Just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”? Know then that the ones from of faith exist the sons of Abraham. Now, the scripture foreseeing that God justifies the Gentiles from faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall...

in this, the love of God is revealed in us because God sent his only Son to the extent of the world so that we live through him (1 John 4:9) We see in the new testament a contrast between the old covenants. The old said, do these things and you will live. If you lived by the commandments you would be blessed earthly. Do these and you will reap a harvest (Leviticus 26). In the new covenant, God offers man so much. There were offerings that were said to be "food offerings" to God like the burnt offering, grain offering, and peace offering (Leviticus 1:17; Leviticus 2:16: Leviticus 3:16). There were sin offerings (unintentional sin) that were made for atonement of sin and parts could be eaten by the priests that would be on top of the food offering (Leviticus 4:32-35). Guilt offerings were an atonement for guilty sins (Leviticus 5:17-19). There was also an ordination offering for the priests, so they would serve before God and not die. The priest received a portion of the food ...
