Title: Jesus is Coming Back to the World!
Contents
Jesus, the Son of God, comes twice into the world. He came in the flesh once to call sinners and take away sins together with the flesh, and on the second time, He will come in a spiritual body to call those who are waiting for him, irrespective of sin, to bring them to salvation.
As it is written, “Go ye and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:13) And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, and do not share in her sins, and do not receive from her plagues" (Revelation 18:4).
The Bible testifies about this, saying, “In the same way, Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, and will appear a second time, free of sin, for salvation to those who are waiting for him” (Hebrews 9:28). .
Many people say they believe in Jesus, but because that faith is only their own beliefs based on their own greed, that faith cannot be reconciled with Jesus. There is no new life for a new person, so they just wander in chaos and emptiness. It is the same as the words of the testimony, as it is written, “As they are, we also have the gospel preached to them, but the words they heard did not benefit them, because those who hear did not unite their faith” (Heb 4:2).
Faith that is not reconciled to Jesus is nothing more than an imaginary narcissism that has nothing to do with the forgiveness of sins and even more nothing to do with salvation. Faith in Christ Jesus is not an illusion, it is real. That is, it is the same as the words of the record, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, by which the forefathers obtained the evidence” (Hebrews 11:1-2).
Therefore, whoever gains this precious faith to become one with Jesus, the old man dies with him, and the new man rises with him. This faith is the most precious and precious gift that God has prepared and hidden for those who love him. That is, as it is said, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has conceived of all that God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). Same thing.
Precious faith is the grace given through the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, but through the Spirit of truth received through this faith, you will come to know God and our Lord Jesus, so grace and peace will abound more abundantly.
The old man who died with the physical Jesus and the new man who was raised with the spiritual Jesus are different. For this reason, those who claim to believe in Jesus but still sin, say that I died with Jesus, and because I am not yet fully dead, the old self will continue to sin again.
The old man of the flesh is dead, but whether that death is a complete death must be confirmed again with the true reality of perfect faith. Otherwise, the old man will come back to life and sin. The death of Christ Jesus teaches this. Jesus' death in the flesh was not confirmed by the shedding of blood from his hands and feet, but when he was stabbed again in his side and water and blood poured out. The Bible describes this as “a whole burnt offering”.
Therefore, “burnt offerings” and “whole burnt offerings” are recorded separately. That is, it is the same as the record, “At that time you will be pleased with sacrifices in righteousness and with burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings, and they will offer bulls on your altar” (Psalm 51:19). In this way, “faith” and “perfect faith” are also distinguished. For this reason, the Bible exhorts us to come to God with a true heart and complete faith, having been sown in our hearts and having realized the evil of our conscience and washed our bodies with pure water (Hebrews 10:22).
You cannot come to God unless you have perfect faith that results in perfect death. Therefore, the Bible says about this, "The Holy Spirit was shown by this, that while the first tabernacle was standing, the way into the sanctuary had not yet been revealed. This tabernacle is a parable to this day. It is impossible, for these, along with eating and drinking and various washings, have become only the ordinances of the flesh, which are left until the time of reform” (Hebrews 9:8-10).
Therefore, when the “time” is “this time” and the children of God who have been sanctified by “perfect faith” who believe in “the perfect burnt offering” will appear, God will bring back into the world our Lord Jesus, who was made perfect through suffering. is. It is the same as the words of the testimony that was written, “And all the angels of God shall worship him when he brings the firstborn son back into the world...” (Hebrews 1:6).
“For the creation longs for the manifestation of the sons of God, for it is not his will that the creation submits to futility, but it is through him who submits it. to the liberty of glory.” (Romans 8:19-21) Amen, thank you Lord.
