“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?”
Isaiah 14:12-17 KJV
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. "Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool. What house will you build for me, seeing that I have made all things?" says the Most High. Who is he that would tread my courts wearing strange apparel? Remove him from my table and bind him hand and foot! Depart from me! Workers of iniquity! My holy mountain prepared for those who love me and keep my commandments. They are the ones. A peculiar people. Washed in the Blood of the Lamb. Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world to as many as have received him, "to them gave he the power to become the sons of God". Born of God. Righteous as Christ is righteous. The same Spirit. Holy. Incorruptible. Eternal Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. Wonderful. Counselor. Prince of Peace. The Almighty God.
Called to be saints. Preserved in Jesus Christ. By grace. Not sin. By Life. Not death.
AND YOU HATH HE QUICKENED WHO WERE DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS.
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:2-10 KJV
THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION IN CHRIST. IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE. HOLY. RIGHTEOUS. PERFECT. BORN BY THE WILL OF THE FATHER AND RENEWING BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT, SAVED BY THE WASHING OF THE BLOOD TO REGENERATION OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS. "Behold what manner of love hath the Father bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God!" O wretched man that I was until the grace of God appeared and the Son of God manifested on the cross washed me in his own blood. PURGED FROM ALL INIQUITY. That the righteousness of God in Christ be manifest in those who walk after the Spirit and not of those who live after the flesh. Who mind earthly things. Who love the things of the world. "These are they who are sensual, having not the Spirit".
But the redeemed of the Lord have not fallen back into perdition. Because all that the Father has given the Son, not one has been lost, except the son of perdition. Who was ordained to this condemnation: that he should betray the Innocent Blood. Although he repented, he found no place for forgiveness, " and went out and hung himself". The knowledge of salvation is remission of sins. Can any be holy outside of Christ? Where dogs abound and scorpions dwell? Touch not the unclean thing, neither cling to that which is abominable. Wash your hands you sinners, and cleanse your ways. Let the unrighteous forsake his iniquitous thoughts. Let the captives be set free! How?
I thank God! Through Jesus Christ!
