Why all this to make a New Creation?

I am sure that someone might wonder why God would go through so much effort to make a New Creation.  He could have just spoke them into existence.  That is the whole reason.  He could have just spoken them into existence.  He did that before when He created the Angels.  They had no choice.  They were just spoken into existence and as a result, did not truly understand the magnificents of God.  God made them so beautiful and with so much ability, that when Satan, who was the most beautiful of all His creation, thought that he could be like God, one third of them rebeled and followed Satan.  God being a Spirit and Satan they could see, they were probably captivated by Satans beauty.  This is why God wanted to create a different creation.  He wanted to create new beings who would come into existence by choosing Him.  By coming to the earth and giving them a visible exspression of the invisable God and His plan to give Eternal Life, beings could come into existence by choosing Him.  In God's plan to create a New Creation, He also created for Himself a body, in the birth of Jesus, and then that body became a Glorified body when He rose from the dead.  When it says that Jesus is the first born of all creation, that is what is meant.  His Glorified body was the first of the New Creation.  Romans 6:5 says that if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, then we shall certainly also be in the likeness of His resurrection.  God has now became visible in the Life and Resurrection of Jesus.

The New Creation

The New Creation was God's plan from the foundation of the Earth.  When asked how someone can enter the Kingdom of God, Jesus replied, "you must be born again".  Then He was asked, " how is that possible, can a man enter again into his mother's womb".  Obviously a challenging remark.  Jesus responded, " you must be born of above, that which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of spirit is spirit, unless one is born of water and of the spirit, they cannot enter the Kingdom of God.  This means that for someone to enter the Kingdom of God, they first have to be born on this earth.  We are born into this world through the breaking of water in our mother's womb.  Our bodies are also 98% water.  Then we must be born of the Spirit.  This is what is meant by Born of Above.  When we receive Jesus and what He did on the Cross, He comes into our soul (heart) and brings to us the Life that raised Him from the dead.  Jesus said that He stands outside the hearts door and knocks and if ANYONE hears His voice and lets him in, then He will come in.  You then become created again into His own likeness.  A New Creation that is eternal in the Heavens.

How can one man's death forgive sin and give Eternal Life?

Jesus was a one of a kind man.  He was not like us.  Everyone ever born was a decendent of Adam, except Jesus.  The women, Mary, who bore Him, did not become pregnant by a man's seed, but by the Holy Spirit of God.  As decendants of Adam, we are born with a sin nature.  Thus we are called Sinners, like one would be referred as a Human.  Jesus was not a Sinner, because he came into existance by the seed of God.  According to Jewish law, the only way that a person could enter Heaven and have Eternal Life was to have obeyed the whole law.  This is impossible for man to achieve, since his nature is of sin and his very nature is in vialation and seperated from God, for God cannot look at sin.  This was not impossible for Jesus, for he was the embodiment of God and Righteous in nature.  Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiviness for sin.  On the cross, Jesus became sin, for he took on all our sins.  When he died, all the sin He had taken on was put to death, for He put to death sin on the cross, by sheddind His own blood.  You can say the very blood of God.  At the moment that Jesus died, the vail in the Temple in Jerusalem, was torn from top to bottom.  This vail seperated man from the Holy of Holies, the presents of God.  When Jesus died and put to death sin, it was now possible for man to come into the presents of God.  By believing what Jesus did and accepting what he did for you on the cross, you put yourself on the cross with him.  In doing so, your own sin has been put to death and because you are now in Jesus, He becomes your Righteousness and your vehicle in which you are now worthy to come into the presents of God.  You can now enter Heaven, for you are now quiltless to the law.  In Jesus burial, he buried sin.  When he rose from the dead by the Power and Spirit of God, He enabled all who believe and are in Him to also receive that Power and Spirit that raised Him from the dead.  Any person, who chooses so, can now be Born of Above and can become a New Creation.  In doing so, you can be changed from Sinner to Saint.

Why the Gospel of Jesus is a Jewish Thing

God, from Noah to Mary, has always intervened to preserve the people he had chosen to be the lineage in which he would come into the world.  Jesus was born to a Jewish virgin girl.(Isaiah 7:14).  In the City of David, Bethlehem.(Micah 5:2)  His disciples were all Jewish men from all backgrounds.  The Gospel went out to the Jewish people first.  After Jesus Ascension and the return of His Holy Spirit into the hearts of the believers,  the religious leaders in Israel at that time became concerned about the effect the move of his Spirit, called ,The Way, was having in Israel.  The reality of what was happening could not be denied.  One of the top Pharisees at that time, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law and respected by all the people, when responding to the other Pharisees opposition said,
   
         " For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody; and a group of about  four hundred men joined up with him.  And he was slain; and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.  After this man Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away some people after him, he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.  And so in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action should be of man, it will be overthrown; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may be found fighting God". 

If Israel and the Jewish people would follow the wisdom of Gamaliel, then they would have to admit that it is of God, for it has grown and continues to go on.  If it is, then your Messiah has come.   Then recieve what He did for you on the cross.

Israel, what is Jesus to you?

" O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, ..... How often I have wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling." Those were Jesus' own words.  O Israel,  what can I say.  Jesus is the God of Israel.  He is your Savior, Redeemer, Messiah, and the One who will come again and restore all things to Israel.  Yeshua means, The Lord our Salvation.  In Isaiah 45, is written, There is no other God besides me, A Righteous God and Savior, and there is no other God besides Me, A righteous God and Savior, There is none except Me, Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth.  Isaiah 53, talks about the One who would be sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins.  Jesus was the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world.  He redeemed those who would believe in Him.  The Jewish people at the time when Jesus came, were looking forward towards the Messiah who would restore all things to Israel.  Jesus came first to restore the soul. Then  He will come again, in all His Glory, to restore Israel.  

The apostle John wrote that Jesus came unto His own and His own knew Him not.  The apostle Paul wrote that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and thus all Israel will be saved.  The Gospel of Jesus and salvation to the Jews first and then overflow to the Gentiles. Jesus came for the Jew first and because of their unbelief, it resulted in Salvation to the whole world.  Not that Jesus died because of their unbelief, but because of their unbelief, the will of God, that Jesus should be sacrificed for the forgiveness of sin and to create a New Creation, was fulfilled.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE.

The biggest sign of the last century

Do you ever wonder why the Jewish people seem to be so hated?  Has it ever crossed your mine that it might not be humanly motivated.  Ever since Jacob had his 12 sons there has always been people that have tried to destroy them.  People motivated by what or more likely who.  Satan has always tried to destroy the Jewish people.  It makes no sense that there should be so much animosity towards one group of people.  Satan knew that the Jewish people would be the lineage by which the God of the universe would come to the earth, thus came forth Jesus.  Why now?, other than the fact that Satan has seen what has been created in the spiritual realm because of the sacrifice that Jesus made to create a New Creation.  Any so called christian who says they don't like the Jewish people because of what they did to Jesus, is not yet a New Creation.  That's why Jesus came.  Satan knows that Jesus will return and with a remnant of the people of Israel, he will restore Israel.  Since the Cross, Satan has wanted to make sure that this remnant is not around.  Jesus continues to make sure they are. I think we know who prevails.  

Ok, so what is the sign of the last century?  There had to be a land of Israel.  Why?, because there has to be a Temple.  You might say that's impossible because the Dome is on the mount.  The Dome is on the outer count.  The outer court has been given over to the gentles, until the time of the gentles is fulfilled.  That means that the Temple can be built on the original site.  It will be rebuilt.  A coming peace covenant made with Israel will allow them to build it.  At the same time the world will build a Capital city in Tyre, Lebanon.  OOPS!!  The peace pact is a snare.  The Israel that is there now will experience the time of Jacobs trouble.  The returning remnant will be brought back to Jerusalem after.

Where are you headed?

There is a lot going on in the world today.  Many of it seems to be bad.  It's really a knock-knock-knock, is anyone home.  It's really like a conductor on a train asking us to get on board, the train is about to leave the station.  Right now it should be a wake up call to get our attention.  Why? Because of Jesus' love for us.  Jesus uses the things that are and will be happening in the world to get us to open up our hearts' door to let Him in.  He was asked about the signs of the end times and said that there would be wars and rumors of war, but be not disturbed.  He said that there would be earthquakes in diverse places.  He said that this would just be the beginning and compared it to birth pains.  Which means, like a women in labor, the trials ( contractions ) of the end times would come more close together and more severe.  Sounds bad, but He is patient, for he wants as many who would come, to come.  Jesus is saying "come to Me, for I love you so much".  A lot still has to happen.  I will be talking more about it in my continued blogs.  Today is the day of Salvation, let Jesus into your heart.  That's why He came.  That you might live foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
