God is the Everlasting Father(Is 9:6).
He gives birth through the living and enduring word(1Pe 1:23-25) and
He gives the eternal inheritance to them(He 1:4).
Faith is knowing Him and longing for Him and
The life of this faith is living for the soul for the rest of one's earthly life(1Pe 4:2).
God's judgment by flood during Noah's time illustrated that
There is no value in preserving neither
The life of man's flesh nor the glory or his civilization(Ge 6:17) for
The flesh, like the grass, has a time limit as it lives by breath.
Deceived by the devil, Adam sinned and
Because of one man's sin(Rm 5:12),
All men were bound to face judgment(He 9:27).
God gave the Law so that
Those who were already sinners would become utterly sinful(Rm 7:7-9, Rm 7:14) and
Be led to the One who will save, the Christ(Gal 3:23-24).
The Tablets inside the Testimony of the sanctuary that
God commanded the Israelites reminded them
To fear God who judges and punishes sin.
Jesus said, "Destroy the temple and I will raise it again in three days(Jn 2:19-21), because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,
He would fulfill the requirement of the Law for
He was chosen before the creation(1Pe 1:20),
The Word that became flesh in the last times(Jn 1:14).
As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished(Jn 19:30), declaring that He:
1. Laid down His life and sowed it according to the Father's command
(Jn 10:17-18, Jn 12:24);
2. Condemned the devil, the origin of sin(1Jn 3:8); and
3. Bore the sins of men in His body and became sin,
the target, as death stung Him to death, and sprinkled His blood on souls
to give birth to them(Rm 8:3; 1Co 15:56; 2Co 5:21; 1Pe 2:24).
The Father raised Him and Jesus ascended to the heavenly throne and
He is our everlasting Father in heaven.
One died for all men(2Co 5:14-15) and all men died.
Then, one lives on behalf of all(Rm 6:10-11) so that they would also live(1Co 14:21).
The Holy Spirit comes to those who,
Through the seed of the living and enduring word, the blood of Jesus,
Became alive(1Pe 1:23), and
Lets them sow not to please their sinful nature but to please the Spirit,
For eternal life(Gal 6:8-9), for the rest of their earthly life(1Pe 4:1-5).
The people of the Spirit are those who,
For Jesus put an end to the sin in the flesh,
Fight against fleshly desires and overcome(1Pe 2:11) and turn sin into past(1Pe 4:3), and
Because the flesh is a soil(1Co 3:9), they do not miss its brief season(Jas 4:13-15) and
Therefore, diligently sow the seed of the word(He 6:1-7) and bear fruit for
They desire to be judged as the living on the day the Lord returns(2Ti 4:1).
O Lord,
I now know Your plan and the vanity of man's life.
But because of this evil nature I inherited with my flesh and blood and
Because of the evil habits I developed throughout my life,
I am losing my precious time in earthly life.
Let me know that this day alone is my given day and live the best for my soul.
Help me, Lord! Amen.
