LISTEN CAREFULLY SAINTS OF GOD, AS I READ THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE.

Mt:5:1: And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

Mt:5:2: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Mt:5:3: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

BELOVED OF GOD, THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT SERMON THAT HAS EVER BEEN PREACHED. IT IS A SERMON THAT TELLS THE CHILDREN OF GOD, ABOUT THE REFORMATION. TELLS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ABOUT A BETTER WAY TO LIVE. TELLS THE CHILDREN OF GOD HOW WE ARE TO LIVE UNDER THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE, WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS. BEING POOR IS NOT NECESSARILY A BLESSING. IT IS THE BEING IN THE SPIRIT THAT IS A BLESSING. THERE ARE TWO PLACES MEN LIVE IN THIS PRESENT WORLD, THEY ARE EITHER IN CHRIST; OR IN THE WORLD. IN ADAM WE ALL DIED, BUT IN CHRIST JESUS WE ARE ALL MADE ALIVE.

1Cor:15:21: For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

1Cor:15:22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

SAINTS OF GOD, WHEN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CREATED ADAM, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTILS THE BREATH OF LIFE, ADAM BECAME A LIVING SOUL. ADAM WAS WHOLE, OR HOLY HE HAD A LIVING BODY, A LIVING SOUL, AND A LIVING SPIRIT. HE WAS ALIVE BOTH PHYSICALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY. BUT WHEN ADAM TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, SIN WAS IMPUTED TO ADAM, AND BECAUSE ALL MANKIND WAS IN ADAM AT THAT TIME, BECAUSE OF OUR PHYSICAL UNION WITH ADAM, SIN WAS IMPUTED UNTO ALL MANKIND. THE BIBLE SAYS, "FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM, WHEN A CHILD IS BORN INTO THE WORLD, HE IS ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY. HE MUST BE BORN AGAIN, HE MUST BE BORN OF WATER; BAPTISED, AND BORN OF THE SPIRIT, RECEIVING THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST. LET ME FIRM UP WHAT I SAY WITH THESE SCRIPTURES.

Jn:3:1: There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

Jn:3:2: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jn:3:3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Jn:3:4: Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jn:3:5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Jn:3:6: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Jn:3:7: Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Jn:3:8: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

SAINTS OF GOD, I KNOW THAT THE FALSE PROPHETS PREACH THAT BAPTISM IS NOT NECESSARY TO SALVATION. BUT, JESUS CHRIST HAS SAID THESE WORDS. EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER, AND OF THE SPIRIT HE CANNOT INTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. IF YOU RUN REFERENCE ON THESE SCRIPTURES, THEY WILL REFER YOU TO,

Mk:16:16: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (KJV)

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, HOW DO WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD GET INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD? WE ARE BORN INTO THE KINGDOM, BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT. IF YOU ARE A NEW CONVERT TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO BE BAPTISED. I BELIEVE THAT BAPTISM IS THE ONLY WAY INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND I BASE MY OPINION ON THIS SCRIPTURE.

Gal:3:27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, IF YOU ARE A NEW CONVERT YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO BE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. IN THE BODY OF CHRIST IS WERE THE BLOOD OF CHRIST IS, THAT GIVES US A CONTINUEOUS CLEANSING. IN CHRIST IS WERE WE ARE RECONCILED TO GOD THE FATHER.

2Cor:5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

2Cor:5:18: And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

2Cor:5:19: To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

2Cor:5:20: Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

BELOVED OF GOD, WHEN A CHILD OF GOD IS BAPTISED IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND IN THE NAME OF THE SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY GHOST, HE IS BAPTISED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND WHEN HE RECEIVES THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE. AND HE BECOMES A NEW CREATURE, A NEW CREATION AND A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. THE OUTWARD MAN OF FLESH, AND BLOOD SHALL PERISH, IT IS THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY, FOR THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL IS RENEWED DAY, BY DAY.

2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV)

HOLY CHILDREN, IN ADAM WE ALL DIED, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL WE ALL BE MADE ALIVE. IT IS IN CHRIST THAT WE ARE RECONCILED TO GOD THE FATHER, IN CHRIST IS WERE WE BECOME A NEW CREATURE, A NEW CREATION. IN CHRIST IS WERE ETERNAL LIFE IS.

1Jn:5:10: He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

1Jn:5:11: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1Jn:5:12: He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

SAINTS OF GOD, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IN THIS LIFE TIME IS THE RECEIVING OF THE HOLY GHOST. THE LORD GOD HAS MADE EVERY CHILD OF GOD A MOST PRECIOUS PROMISE AND THAT IS IF WE WILL REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, WE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. AFTER THE CRUEL DEATH, AND BURIAL, AND GLORIOUS RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. CHRIST JESUS CAME TO HIS DISCIPLES, AND BREATHED ON THEM AND SAID, RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST. THIS WAS THE RECONCILATION OF GOD, AND MAN.

Jn:20:19: Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Jn:20:20: And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

Jn:20:21: Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

Jn:20:22: And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Jn:20:23: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained

SAINTS OF GOD, WHEN CHRIST JESUS BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES AND SAID, RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST, THE KINGDOM OF GOD CAME. WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST.

Rom:14:17: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (KJV)

LOVE CAME, FOR WHAT IS LOVE ? GOD IS LOVE; WITH OUT GOD, A MAN CANNOT LOVE. HE MAY HAVE A FORM OF LOVE, AN IMITATION BUT UNTIL GOD COMES TO DWELL WITHIN A MAN HE CANNOT LOVE.

1Jn:4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (KJV)

THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL CAME TO LIFE, POWER CAME TO REMIT SIN, AND TO RETAIN SIN, SALVATION CAME.

Ti:3:5: Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; (KJV)

BELOVED, WHEN CHRIST JESUS BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST. POWER CAME TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. WHEN A MAN RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST HE HAS THE POWER TO PREACH, THE POWER TO TEACH, THE POWER WITNESS; OR WHATSOEVER THE LORD COMMANDS HIM TO DO. HE HAS THE POWER TO LIVE THE SIN FREE LIFE.

1Jn:3:1: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed up us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

1Jn:3:2: Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

1Jn:3:3: And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

1Jn:3:4: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

1Jn:3:5: And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

1Jn:3:6: Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1Jn:3:7: Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1Jn:3:8: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1Jn:3:9: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1Jn:3:10: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

SAINTS OF GOD, WHEN CHRIST BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST, THE ANOINTING CAME THAT TEACHES US AND BRINGS US INTO ALL TRUTH.

1Jn:2:27: But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (KJV)

WHEN CHRIST JESUS BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST, SALVATION CAME. FOR WHAT IS SALVATION? IT IS BEING IN CHRIST, ALIVE BOTH PHSICALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY, FREE FROM SIN; AND FREE FROM THE PUNISHEMNT THAT SHALL COME UPON THOSE IN SIN. WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST IT IS THE EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE.

Eph:1:10: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Eph:1:11: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Eph:1:12: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

Eph:1:13: In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Eph:1:14: Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

SAINTS OF GOD, WHEN A PERSON IS BAPTISED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, HE BECOMES A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. EACH PERSON THAT IS BAPTISED INTO CHRIST BECOMES A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, BUT ALL THE MEMBERS MAKE UP THE BODY OF CHRIST. WHEN A PERSON TOUCHES A MEMBER OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, HE IS TOUCHING THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND WHEN A MEMBER OF THE BODY OF CHRIST TOUCHES SOMEONE, THE BODY OF CHRIST IS TOUCHING THAT PERSON. FOR THAT REASON WE HAVE THE LAYING ON OF HANDS.

1Cor:12:27: Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. (KJV)

HOLY CHILDREN IN CHRIST IS WHERE THE SAVING TYPE FAITH IS, IN CHRIST IS WHERE THE TRUE BELIEVERS WORSHIP GOD. FOR GOD SEEKS THOSE THAT WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. JESUS IS SPEAKING TO THE WOMAN AT JACOB'S WELL AND HE SAYS THESE WORDS.

Jn:4:23: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

Jn:4:24: God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
