reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

GOD HAS SAID THESE WORDS, HOSEA 4:6 MY CHILDREN ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. THE HOLY BIBLE IS ACTUALLY TWO WILLS. THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND THE NEW TESTAMENT. IF A MAN MAKES TWO TESTAMENTS, IT IS ONLY THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT THAT IS VALID AFTER THE DEATH OF THE TESTATOR. HEB:9:16 FOR WHERE A TESTAMENT IS, THERE MUST ALSO OF NECESSITY BE THE DEATH OF THE TESTATOR. 17. FOR A TESTAMENT IS OF FORCE AFTER MEN ARE DEAD. SINCE THE DEATH OF CHRIST JESUS THE NEW TESTAMENT IS VALID, THE OLD TESTAMENT IS HISTORY, AND PROPHESY. DID MANY INHERIT THE KINGDOM, UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT? NO ONLY A FEW, THOSE THAT WERE NOT SAVED WERE BURNED. IS:24:5 THE EARTH ALSO IS DEFILED UNDER THE INHABITANTS THEREOF; BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRANSGRESSED THE LAWS, CHANGED THE ORDINANCE, BROKEN THE EVERLASTING COVENANT. 6. THEREFORE HATH THE CURSE DEVOURED THE EARTH, AND THEY THAT DWELL THEREIN ARE DESOLATE: THEREFORE THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE BURNED, AND FEW MEN LEFT. THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF MEN PREACHING FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT TRYING TO DRAG GOD’S CHILDREN BACK UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES’ SO THEY CAN READ THE TITHING LAWS TO THEM. BUT IF A MAN PREACHES TITHING, AND BUILDS THOSE TITHING LAWS AGAIN AS THEY WERE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES’ HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR GAL:2:18 FOR IF I BUILD AGAIN THE THINGS WHICH I DESTROYED, I MAKE MYSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. 19. FOR I THROUGH THE LAW AM DEAD TO THE LAW, THAT I MIGHT LIVE UNTO GOD. FOR THE LAW OF MOSES HAD TO BE KEPT TO THE LETTER. ROM:7:6 BUT NOW WE ARE DELIVERED FROM THE LAW, THAT BEING DEAD WHEREIN WE WERE HELD; THAT WE SHOULD SERVE IN NEWNESS OF SPIRIT, AND NOT OLDNESS OF THE LETTER. A MAN MUST PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES. ROM:2:22 THOU THAT SAYEST A MAN SHOULD NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DOST THOU COMMIT ADULTERY? THOU THAT ABHORREST IDOLS, DOST THOU COMMIT SACRILEGE? THERE WAS NO MAN ABLE TO KEEP THE TITHING LAWS TO THE LETTER, THEREFORE THEY ALL WENT UNDER THE CURSE, A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. MAL:3:8 WILL A MAN ROB GOD? YET YE HAVE ROBBED ME. BUT YE SAY, WHEREIN HAVE WE ROBBED THEE? IN TITHES AND OFFERINGS, 9. YE ARE CURSED WITH A CURSE: FOR YE HAVE ROBBED ME, EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION. THE OLD TESTAMENT LOST IT’S POWER TO SAVE WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS. LK:16:16 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN: SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, AND EVERY MAN PRESSETH INTO IT. WE , THE ELECT OF GOD, BECAUSE OF THE ATONING SACRIFICE MADE BY CHRIST JESUS, AND BY BEING OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD IN THE NEW TESTAMENT; SHALL BE HEIR AND JOINT HEIR WITH JESUS CHRIST, AND RECEIVE SUCH MARVELOUS GIFTS, AS ETERNAL LIFE, THE IMMORTAL BODY, AND HEAVENLY CITY CALLED NEW JERUSALEM. AND BE HEIR, AND JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS CHRIST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. FOR WE, THAT HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND HAVE RECEIVED THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, BECAUSE OF OUR SPIRITUAL UNION WITH CHRIST; ARE NOT SAVED BY OUR OWN LIFE, BUT BY THE LIFE THAT JESUS CHRIST LIVED. ROM:5:10 FOR IF, WHEN WE WERE ENEMIES, WE WERE RECONCILED TO GOD BY THE DEATH OF HIS SON, MUCH MORE, BEING RECONCILED, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE. HEAVEN IS A CITY CALLED NEW JERUSALEM, IN THE WORLD TO COME THE CITY SHALL COME TO EARTH. IT SHALL ALIGHT ON CANAAN LAND, AND GOD SHALL REIGN IN ETERNITY FROM MOUNT ZION. RV:21:1 AND I SAW A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH: FOR THE FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH WERE PASSED AWAY; AND THERE WAS NO MORE SEA. 2. AND I JOHN SAW THE HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, PREPARED AS A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND. 3. AND I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OUT OF HEAVEN SAYING, BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN AND HE WILL DWELL WITH THEM, AND THEY SHALL BE HIS PEOPLE, AND GOD HIMSELF SHALL BE WITH THEM, AND BE THEIR GOD. 4. AND GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM THEIR EYES; AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NEITHER SORROW, NOR CRYING, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE ANY MORE PAIN; FOR THE FORMER THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY. NEW JERUSALEM IS A CITY WITHOUT GRAVEYARDS FOR THERE IS NO DEATH THERE; A CITY WERE THERE IS NO HOSPITALS FOR THERE IS NO SICK FOLKS THERE, A CITY THAT HAS NO JAILS, OR PRISONS FOR THERE IS NO WICKED PEOPLE THERE. NEW JERUSALEM IF YOU COUNT THE FURLONG AS AN EIGHTH OF A MILE, THE CITY IS FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES FOUR SQUARE. THE WALL AROUND THE CITY , IF YOU COUNT THE CUBIT AS EIGHTEEN INCHES, IS TWO HUNDRED SIXTEEN FEET HIGH, AND MADE OF PRECIOUS JEWELS. THE WALL HAS TWELVE GATES, AND EACH GATE IS MADE OF ONE PEARL. THE GATES ARE NEVER CLOSED. THE STREET IN THE CITY IS MADE OF PURE GOLD. THERE ARE MANY MANSIONS IN THE CITY. JN:14:2 IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS: IF IT WERE NOT SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU. THINK ON THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE, 1COR:2:9 BUT AS IT IS WRITTEN, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM. WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? ROM:14:17 FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK; BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST. HOW DO WE BECOME A CITIZENS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD? WHEN WE RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST; WE ARE ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD. WE, THE ELECT OF GOD ARE BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. ETERNAL LIFE IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. 1JN:5:11 AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THAT I KNOW TO GET INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND THAT IS THROUGH THE WATER OF BAPTISM. GAL:3:27 FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. WHO SHALL BE ADOPTED INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD? THOSE WHOM GOD CHOSE, ELECTED, SELECTED , HAND PICKED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. EPH:1:3 BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH BLESSED US WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST: 4. ACCORDING AS HE HATH CHOSEN US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLAME BEFORE HIM IN LOVE. 5. HAVING PREDESTINATED US UNTO THE ADOPTION OF CHILDREN BY JESUS CHRIST TO HIMSELF, ACCORDING TO THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS WILL, WHO SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? HE THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD? HE THAT BELIEVETH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. RV:2:7 HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES: TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH WILL I GIVE TO EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE, WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE PARADISE OF GOD. 1JN:5:2 BY THIS WE KNOW THAT WE LOVE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, WHEN WE LOVE GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 3. FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS. 4. FOR WHATSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5. WHO IS HE THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD? ALL WHOM GOD FOREKNEW HE DID PREDESTINATE. THE ELECT OF GOD, FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD BEFORE WE WERE EVER BORN. GRACE IS AN UNMERITED FAVOR. WE DID NOTHING TO DESERVE HIS FAVOR, BUT GOD PLANED IN LOVE FOR US SO ALL THE EVENTS OF THE WORLD WORK TOGETHER FOR OUR GOOD. ROM:8:28 AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, TO THEM WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. 29. FOR WHOM HE DID FOREKNOW, HE ALSO DID PREDESTINATE TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, THAT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRSTBORN MANY BRETHREN. 30. MOREOVER WHOM HE DID PRESDESTINATE, THEM HE ALSO CALL: AND WHOM HE CALLED, THEM HE ALSO JUSTIFIED: AND WHOM HE JUSTIFIED, THEM HE ALSO GLORIFIED. 31. WHAT SHALL WE THEN SAY TO THESE THINGS? IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? 32. HE THAT SPARED NOT HIS OWN SON, BUT DELIVERED HIM UP FOR US ALL, HOW SHALL HE NOT WITH HIM ALSO FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS? GOD HAS CHOSEN HIS CHILDREN BEFORE WE WERE BORN, LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THERE WERE TWO BROTHERS, TWINS. ONE WAS NAMED JACOB, AND THE OTHER ESAU. BEFORE THE CHILDREN WERE EVER BORN, BEFORE EITHER HAD DONE ANY GOOD OR EVIL. GOD SAID, " JACOB HAVE I LOVE, BUT ESAU HAVE I HATED. ROM: 9:10 AND NOT ONLY THIS; BUT WHEN REBECCA ALSO HAD CONCEIVED BY ONE, EVEN BY OUR FATHER ISAAC. 11. ( FOR THE CHILDREN BEING NOT YET BORN, NEITHER HAVING DONE ANY GOOD OR EVIL, THAT THE PURPOSE OF GOD ACCORDING TO ELECTION MIGHT STAND, NOT OF WORKS, BUT OF HIM THAT CALLETH:) 12. IT WAS SAID UNTO HER, THE ELDER SHALL SERVE THE YOUNGER. 13. AS IT IS WRITTEN , JACOB HAVE I LOVED, BUT ESAU HAVE I HATED. 14. WHAT SHALL WE SAY THEN? IS THERE UNRIGHTEOUSNESS WITH GOD? GOD FORBID. 15. FOR HE SAITH TO MOSES, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. 16 SO THEN IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLETH, NOR OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY. LITTLE CHILDREN , HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF WHAT WE SHALL INHERIT? WE SHALL INHERIT SUCH MARVELOUS GIFTS AS ETERNAL LIFE, A NEVER ENDING LIFE, TO LIVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS, AND NOT BE READY FOR THE GRAVE. AND THE IMMORTAL BODY, A BODY THAT DOES NOT GROW OLD, IS NEVER SICK, A BODY THAT IS RENEWED EVERY DAY. JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN , AND EARTH; TOOK PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN, UPON A HIGH MOUNTAIN. AND, WHILE THEY WERE THERE JESUS WAS TRANSFIGURED BEFORE THEIR VERY EYES. I BELIEVE AS THEY LOOKED UPON JESUS IN THE TRANSFIGURED CONDITION, THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE IMMORTAL BODY. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HIS FACE SHINED LIKE THE SUN, AND THAT HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE AS LIGHT. MT:17:1 AND AFTER SIX DAYS JESUS TAKETH PETER, JAMES AND JOHN HIS BROTHER, AND BRINGETH THEM UP INTO AN HIGH MOUNTAIN APART, 2. AND WAS TRANSFIGURED BEFORE THEM: AND HIS FACE DID SHINE AS THE SUN, AND HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE AS THE LIGHT. CHILDREN OF LIGHT, WE SHALL NOT ALL SEE DEATH, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED. IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, THIS MORTAL SHALL PUT ON IMMORTALITY. 1COR:15:50 NOW THIS I SAY, BRETHREN, THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD; NEITHER DOTH CORRUPTION INHERIT INCORRUPTION. 51. BEHOLD, I SHEW YOU A MYSTERY; WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, 52 IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP: FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, AND THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED. 53. FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL PUT ON IMMORTALITY. 1 COR:15:54 SO WHEN THIS CORRUPTIBLE SHALL PUT ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL SHALL HAVE PUT ON IMMORALITY, THEN SHALL BE BROUGHT TO PASS THE SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. 55. O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY? 56. THE STING OF DEATH IS SIN; AND THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW. 57. BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. 58. THEREFORE, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, BE YE STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE LORD, FORASMUCH AS YE KNOW THAT YOUR LABOUR IS NOT IN VAIN IN THE LORD. WHEN SHALL WE RECEIVE OUR INHERITANCE? WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST. WHEN THE LORD RETURNS FOR HIS BRIDE THE CHURCH. THEN CHRIST JESUS SHALL SEPARATE THE NATIONS AS A SHEPHERD DIVIDES THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS. AND HE SHALL PLACE THE SHEEP, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, ON HIS RIGHT HAND. AND, THE GOATS THE CHILDREN OF SATAN ON HIS LEFT HAND. SAINTS OF GOD, THEN SHALL JESUS SAY TO THOSE ON HIS RIGHT HAND, COME YE BLESSED OF MY FATHER, INHERIT THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS A MAN MUST DO TO INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS A MAN MUST NOT DO TO INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. A MAN MUST BELIEVE. HE MUST PLACE HIS FAITH AND HIS TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST FOR HIS SALVATION. HE MUST PLACE HIS FAITH, AND TRUST IN THE BLOOD THAT CHRIST SHED ON CALVARY FOR HIS REDEMPTION. WHEN THE MACEDONIAN GUARD ASKED THE APOSTLE PAUL, AND SILAS WHAT HE MUST DO TO BE SAVED THEY SAID THESE WORDS. ACT:16:31 AND THEY SAID, BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, AND THY HOUSE. YOU MUST ALSO BE BORN OF WATER, BAPTISED, AND BORN OF THE SPIRIT. WHEN A MAN RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE. WHEN A CHILD OF GOD IS BAPTISED, HE IS BAPTISED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. ETERNAL LIFE IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. 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. 6. THAT WHICH IS BORN OF FLESH IS FLESH: AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. BELOVED A PERSON MUST WORK IN THE HARVEST. BECAUSE FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD. JAM:2:17 EVEN SO FAITH, IF IT HATH NOT WORKS, IS DEAD, BEING ALONE. A MAN MUST NOT FALL AWAY FROM THE CHURCH, HEB:6:4 FOR IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO WERE ONCE ENLIGHTENED, AND HAVE TASTED OF THE HEAVENLY GIFT, AND WERE MADE PARTAKERS OF THE HOLY GHOST, 5. AND HAVE TASTED THE GOOD WORD OF GOD, AND THE POWERS OF THE WORLD TO COME, 6. IF THEY SHALL FALL AWAY, TO RENEW THEM AGAIN UNTO REPENTANCE; SEEING THEY CRUCIFY TO THEMSELVES THE SON OF GOD AFRESH, AND PUT HIM TO AN OPEN SHAME. FINALLY BRETHREN, YOU MUST NOT DO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH, FOR IF YOU DO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH YOU SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
