Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
B. THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH PART 2 – THE SPIRITUAL REFORMATION
Gal_4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Joh 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.
The Spiritual Reformation (Gospel Dispensation) began on Earth with JESUS CHRIST, the >> Son of GOD. << HE began HIS FATHER’S Work before HE came to Earth. HE began by Obediently:
- Becoming Incarnated (Human) to Live on the Earthly Physical Plane of Existence of Mankind through a Physical Birth;
- Fulfilling and finishing the Work GOD had Ordained and Commanded HIM to do which included but is not limited to:
- HIS Ministry – Teaching the >> EVERLASTING GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD/HEAVEN << to the World and;
- Healing of the sick, lame, blind, deaf and possessed;
- HIS Humiliation and False Trial;
- HIS Excruciating Death on the Cross;
- HIS Glorious Resurrection to Life and;
- HIS Exalting Ascension back up to Heaven to the Right hand of GOD, where HE Advocates for the Believer as King, Mediator, Advocate and High Priest.
- HE also came to be the “Sacrificial Lamb of GOD”;
- HE Fulfilled the Law and
- Abrogated the Eventuality known as the Law of Moses, as Prophesied, by:
- “Nailing the Carnal Ordinances (the Law of Moses) to HIS Cross” and took it and the Sin of the World away as the blood of animals could not.
Luk_4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Joh_1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Col_2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
It is important to note that there is a vast difference between the Law of Moses which was written by Moses as a means to govern the people, to administer the civil, carnal, and natural laws, ceremonial laws and temple government of the Jews/Israelites in the wilderness and the 10 Commandments written on the 2 Tablets of Stone by “the finger of GOD and given to Moses to give to the visible church at Sinai. The Talmud notes that the Hebrew numerical value (gematria) of the word “Torah” (Old Testament of the Bible) is 611, and combining Moses’s 611 commandments with the first two of the Ten Commandments which were the only ones heard directly from God, because the people were so afraid of the voice of GOD, adds up to 613. See the link Law of Moses above for the delineation of the Covenants, and the Laws of Moses and the 10 Commandments. See also the 10 Commandments as Taught by Christ Jesus.

FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW
CHRIST Fulfilled the Law through >> HIS PERFECT OBEDIENCE << to GOD and did away with the necessity of Sacrificing animals for the Remission of Sin through the Ritual of Atonement that had to take place every year by a Human Priest who was himself “defective” because he too was a Man of sin. The Carnal Ordinances of the Judaic Religion were >> Emblems << and all pointed to JESUS CHRIST as the >> THE MESSIAH << and >> CHRIST REVEALED IN THE COVENANTS. <<
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
See the Emblematic response to: >> WHY DID GOD TELL ABRAHAM TO SACRIFICE ISSAC?<<
JESUS CHRIST gave HIS Life as a Ransom to Save HIS People. HIS People are the Elect, Individuals GOD has Called out of the World and those who Obey the Call. Not everyone will respond or Obey GOD’S Call. Unbelievers Ignore the HOLY SPIRIT/GHOST GOD’S Call and goes his own way and end up as a Cast away as the Tares which are cast into the fire as in the Parable of the Tares and the Unfruitful Branches in the Discourse of the >> Vines and the Branches << by JESUS CHRIST to HIS Disciples/Apostles in John 15. Many will be called but few will be Chosen and this will be by their own choice. See – >> You Must Choose. << | >> Which Kingdom Will You Serve? <<
The Parables will be discussed in length in their own Blog, >> THE PARABLES OF CHRIST <<
Mat_20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mat_22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Joh_10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
Joh 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
1Jn_3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Joh_14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
All the Work that CHRIST Performed, seen and unseen by our Physical/Human eyes, was a Facet of the >> GRAND DESIGN << which was Purposed before the Foundation of the World. The Sin of Adam and Eve broke the >> Covenant<< they had with GOD in the Garden of Eden. Mankind had Rejected GOD and the Consequence was the World of Separation from GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT, Wisdom, Holiness and a World full of the Darkness of Sin and Ignorance absent of Joy. However, GOD Revealed the Prophecy of CHRIST in Genesis 3:15. HE spoke of the Deliverance HE had Provisioned through the Holy Redeemer of Mankind for Mankind.
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Also see >> ADAM & EVE/UNBELIEF <<
GOD did not Create HIS Plans for the Salvation of Mankind after Adam sinned. It was beforehand. HE had Created The Divine Plan and the Grand Design, which included the Plan of the Atonement and the Redemption of Mankind from Sin and Eternal Death through the Grace of the FATHER and the Death of HIS Son for Recompense to Divine Justice.
This was for the Redemption for all of Mankind, before the Foundation of the World.
Joh_17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Eph_1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
1Pe_1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Rev_13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Genesis 3:15 also depicts the >> TWO DIVISIONS OF MANKIND << in the World – the Believer and the Unbeliever.
See >> WHAT IS SIN? << and >> THE DARKNESS OF SIN/UNBELIEF <<
KINGDOM OF LIGHT (FREE FROM SIN) VS THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS (ENSLAVED TO SIN)
AKA KINGDOM OF GOD/HEAVEN VS KINGDOM OF THE DEVIL/WORLD
2Co_4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
In the New Testament CHRIST designated the term “Church” for HIS people as “a people called out” of the World. Initially, this term was designated to the Jews while they were Enslaved by the Egyptians in Egypt. GOD Delivered “called them out” of the Bondage of Slavery to the Egyptians through the Jewish Prophet Moses, and through the Demonstration of HIS Holy Power, Declarations and Miracles.
Presently, during the >> SPIRITUAL GOSPEL DISPENSATION << the FATHER Draws People out of the World and Delivers the Individual from the Bondage of Slavery and from the Power of Darkness (from the Adversary/Satan/devil) where they were Enslaved and in Bondage to Sin and the Adversary’s Lies/Illusions/Delusions (the serpent/devil) whose “Reality” is the Fabrication of Illusion and Delusion of Sin and the World of Darkness. The Adversary, the devil and god of this World, blinds the mind of Unbelievers and they can not Perceive the Difference between the Lies of the World and the Truth until GOD Draws them out of the Kingdom of Darkness (the World) and Translates them into the Kingdom of HIS Son, the Kingdom of Light.
2Co_4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
GOD Draws the Unbeliever out of the World and as they respond to the Call from GOD, they begin to undergo a Spiritual Transformation. They become a Believer and a Disciple of JESUS CHRIST by being Born Again through the HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT. See >> B. THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH PART 3 – BORN AGAIN << and >> YOUR SPIRIT – BORN AGAIN. << When they are Delivered from the Power of Darkness they are Translated to the Kingdom of GOD’S Son, into the Kingdom of Light and they are no longer of the World. They no longer Live by the Lies of the Kingdom of Darkness. They learn and Live in the Light of Truth and are made Free. GOD Spiritually and Literally open their eyes to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to the All Powerful GOD and through Grace they receive Forgiveness of Sins, and receive the Gifts Promised to the People of GOD who have been Sanctified by Faith that is in CHRIST JESUS. See >> BECOMING A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST <<
Joh_6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Act_26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Joh_8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Col_1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Rom_13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
2Co_6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
OVERCOMING THE WORLD
Believers and Disciples of JESUS CHRIST overcome the World through JESUS CHRIST, through the Power of the >> HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT << (the Comforter) and through the Renewing of their Minds. JESUS CHRIST, during a Prayer, made a Distinction between HIS Kingdom (of Light/the Church etc.) and the Separation of HIS People (the Believers/Apostles/Disciples) from the World (Kingdom of Darkness and Unbelievers) as follows:
Joh 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
Joh 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Joh 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Joh 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Joh 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Rom_12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Joh_16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
JESUS CHRIST came into the World to Bring the Gospel of Salvation (Good News) of the Kingdom of GOD/Heaven. HE came to be the Way, the, Truth and the Life and the only Way Mankind may be Reconciled to GOD. The Prophecies and Promises that were written in the Old Testament/Old Covenant/the Law of Moses /The Law, the Psalms and the Prophets were all Fulfilled in JESUS CHRIST.
CHRIST spoke of HIS people as HIS Sheep and HE as the Shepherd who would lay down HIS Life for their sakes in order that they would be Saved from the Wrath of Justice. This included all of HIS Sheep, Jews and Gentiles alike in one fold belonging to one Shepherd.
Joh_10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
Joh 10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Joh 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
Joh 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
