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

IN A COURT OF LAW TRUTH IS DETERMINED BY EVIDENCE. IF THE TRIAL IS TO DETERMINE THE LAW, THEN A JUDGE WILL DECIDE THE TRUTH; IF THE TRIAL IS TO DETERMINE A "FACT" THEN A JURY WILL DECIDE THE TRUTH. LOOK THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE OVER CONCERNING JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD, THE CHRIST, THE ANOINTED ONE, AND THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME. JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. WHAT IS A CREATURE? A CREATURE IS SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED. COL:1:15 WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE. CREATED FROM THE WORD OF GOD. JN:1:1 IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THE ONLY GOD EVER CREATED, OR EVER SHALL BE CREATED. IS:43:10 YE ARE MY WITNESSES, SAITH THE LORD, AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN: THAT YE MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE ME, AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME. 11. I, EVEN I, AM THE LORD; AND BESIDE ME THERE IS NO SAVIOUR. CREATED EQUAL TO GOD THE FATHER. FOR ANY TWO THINGS TO BE EQUAL THEY MUST BE IDENTICAL. PHIL:2:6 WHO, BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD, THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD: JESUS CHRIST HAS ALL POWER IN HEAVEN, AND EARTH. MT:28:18 AND JESUS CAME AND SPAKE UNTO THEM, SAYING, ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH. GOD BY JESUS CHRIST CREATED ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN, AND IN EARTH. EPH:3:9 AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN GOD, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST. COL:1:15 WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE: 16. FOR BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED, THAT ARE IN HEAVEN, AND THAT ARE IN EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THEY BE THRONES, OR DOMINIONS, OR PRINCIPALITIES, OR POWERS ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM. 17. AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, AND BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST. 18. AND HE IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY, THE CHURCH: WHO IS THE BEGINNING, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD; THAT IN ALL THINGS HE MIGHT HAVE THE PREEMINENCE. THE APOSTLE JOHN RECORDED THE THINGS THAT HE RECORDED IN HIS GOSPEL THAT YOU MIGHT BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, AND THAT BELIEVING YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME. JN:20:31 BUT THESE ARE WRITTEN, THAT YE MIGHT BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD: AND THAT BELIEVING YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME. THE WORD "CHRIST" MEANS IN GREEK "THE ANOINTED ONE", THE WORD MESSIAH IN HEBREW MEANS, "THE ANOINTED ONE. JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD; AND SON OF THE VIRGIN MARY IS THE ANOINTED ONE. JESUS WAS ANOINTED AT HIS BAPTISM. MT:3:16 AND JESUS, WHEN HE WAS BAPTIZED, WENT UP STRAIGHTWAY OUT OF THE WATER; AND, LO, THE HEAVENS WERE OPENED UNTO HIM, AND HE SAW THE SPIRIT OF GOD DESCENDING LIKE A DOVE, AND LIGHTING UPON HIM: 17. AND LO A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. WHEN GOD THE FATHER SPOKE AT THE BAPTISM OF JESUS THESE WORDS, "THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED." HE HAS SAT HIS SEAL TO THE FACT THAT JESUS IS HIS SON FOREVER. JN:6:27 LABOUR NOT FOR THE MEAT WHICH PERISHETH, BUT FOR THAT MEAT WHICH ENDURETH UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE, WHICH THE SON OF MAN SHALL GIVE UNTO YOU: FOR HIM HATH GOD THE FATHER SEALED. WHEN THE HOLY GHOST DESCENDED UPON JESUS AT HIS BAPTISM GOD GAVE JESUS THE SPIRITUAL ANOINTING WITHOUT MEASURE. JN:3:34 FOR HE WHOM GOD HATH SENT SPEAKETH THE WORDS OF GOD: FOR GOD GIVETH NOT THE SPIRIT BY MEASURE UNTO HIM. THERE ARE TWO ANOINTINGS, THE PHYSICAL ANOINTING WHERE A MAN TAKES OIL, AND PLACES THE OIL UPON THE HEAD WITH HIS HANDS, OR POURS THE OIL UPON THE HEAD OF SOMEONE. AND THERE IS THE SPIRITUAL ANOINTING WHEN THE HOLY GHOST COMES TO DWELL WITHIN SOMEONE. YOU CAN SEE BOTH ANOINTINGS WHEN THE PROPHET SAMUEL ANOINTS DAVID TO BE KING OF ISRAEL. 1SM:16:12 AND HE SENT, AND BROUGHT HIM IN. NOW HE WAS RUDDY, AND WITHAL OF A BEAUTIFUL COUNTENANCE, AND GOODLY TO LOOK TO. AND THE LORD SAID, ARISE, ANOINT HIM: FOR THIS IS HE. 13. THEN SAMUEL TOOK THE HORN OF OIL, AND ANOINTED HIM IN THE MIDST OF HIS BRETHREN: AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME UPON DAVID FROM THAT DAY FORWARD. SO SAMUEL ROSE UP, AND WENT TO RAMAH. WHEN WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, THE SPIRITUAL ANOINTING, WE RECEIVE THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION THAT ADOPTS US INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD. SINCE GOD IS KING OF KINGS, WE THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED AS CHILDREN INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD ARE ROYALTY. THE ELECT OF GOD HAVE BEEN PREDESTINATED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD TO BE ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD. EPH:1:1 PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF GOD, TO THE SAINTS WHICH ARE AT EPHESUS, AND TO THE FAITHFUL IN CHRIST JESUS; 2. GRACE BE TO YOU, AND PEACE, FROM GOD OUR FATHER, AND FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. 3. BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH BLESSED US WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS 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. 6. TO THE PRAISE OF THE GLORY OF HIS GRACE, WHEREIN HE HATH MADE US ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED. JESUS CHRIST WAS ANOINTED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR, TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE, TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD. LK:4:18 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED, 19. TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD. WHEN ADAM TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, COMMITTING THE ORIGINAL SIN, WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD DEPARTED FROM ADAM ALL MANKIND DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. THE INWARD MAN, THE SOUL OF MAN DIED. FOR WE WERE ALL IN ADAM AT THE TIME THAT HE TRANSGRESSED GOD’S COMMANDMENT, AND BECAUSE OF OUR PHYSICAL UNION WITH HIM, SIN WAS IMPUTED UNTO ALL MANKIND. 1COR:15:22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. NOW WHEN A CHILD IS BORN INTO THE WORLD HE IS ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY. 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. THE THINGS THAT YOU SEE ARE TEMPORARY, THE THINGS THAT ARE UNSEEN ARE ETERNAL. 2COR:4:18 WHILE WE LOOK NOT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN, BUT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN: FOR THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; BUT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, MUST BE BORN AGAIN. WE MUST BE BORN OF WATER, BAPTIZED, AND BORN OF THE SPIRIT, MUST RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST. THE HOLY GHOST BRINGS LIFE TO THE SOUL. 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 THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. WHEN WE, AS SAINTS OF GOD, RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, THE ANOINTING THAT HE BRINGS WILL TEACH US AND BRING 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. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANOINTED ONE, BUT WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD MUST RECEIVE THE ANOINTING THE HOLY GHOST BRINGS ALSO. WHEN CHRIST JESUS WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, HE WAS OF TWO NATURES. HE WAS BOTH GOD, AND MAN. HE WAS GOD IN THE FLESH. MT:1:23 BEHOLD, A VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND SHALL BRING FORTH A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME EMMANUEL, WHICH BEING INTERPRETED IS, GOD WITH US. JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF THE VIRGIN MARY WAS A MAN ABLE TO SUFFER, BLEED, AND DIE. HEB:2:16 FOR VERILY HE TOOK NOT ON HIM THE NATURE OF ANGELS; BUT HE TOOK ON HIM THE SEED OF ABRAHAM. 17. WHEREFORE IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRETHREN, THAT HE MIGHT BE A MERCIFUL AND FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST IN THINGS PERTAINING TO GOD, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE. 18. FOR IN THAT HE HIMSELF HATH SUFFERED BEING TEMPTED, HE IS ABLE TO SUCCOUR THEM THAT ARE TEMPTED. HOW ARE WE SAVED BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST? WE ARE SAVED BY PLACING OUR FAITH, AND TRUST IN HIM FOR OUR SALVATION. ACTS:16:31 AND THEY SAID, BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, AND THY HOUSE. YOU WILL NOT ONLY SAVE YOURSELF BUT ALSO YOUR HOUSE. YOUR HOUSE IS ALL OF YOUR KIN, DAD, MOTHER, SISTERS AND BROTHERS, AUNTS AND UNCLES. THE SPIES THAT JOSHUA SENT IN TO SPY OUT JERICHO PROMISED RAHAB, THE HARLOT, THAT THEY WOULD NOT KILL HER NOR ANY OF HER FATHER’S HOUSE. JOS:2:12 NOW THEREFORE, I PRAY YOU, SWEAR UNTO ME BY THE LORD, SINCE I HAVE SHEWED YOU KINDNESS, THAT YE WILL ALSO SHEW KINDNESS UNTO MY FATHER’S HOUSE, AND GIVE ME A TRUE TOKEN: THIS THINE OATH WHICH THOU HAST MADE US SWEAR. 13. AND THAT YE WILL SAVE ALIVE MY FATHER, AND MY MOTHER, AND MY BRETHREN, AND MY SISTER, AND ALL THAT THEY HAVE, AND DELIVER OUR LIVES FROM DEATH. JOS:2:18 BEHOLD, WHEN WE COME INTO THE LAND, THOU SHALT BIND THIS LINE OF SCARLET THREAD IN THE WINDOW WHICH THOU DIDST LET US DOWN BY: AND THOU SHALT BRING THY FATHER, AND THY MOTHER, AND THY BRETHREN, AND ALL THY FATHER’S HOUSEHOLD, HOME UNTO THEE. IF YOU WILL CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD THOU SHALT BE SAVED. ROM: 10:9 THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS , AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED. 10. FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION. AND YOU MUST ALSO BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. ACTS:19:1 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, WHILE APOLLOS WAS AT CORINTH, PAUL HAVING PASSED THROUGH THE UPPER COASTS CAME TO EPHESUS: AND FINDING CERTAIN DISCIPLES, 2. HE SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE YE RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST SINCE YE BELIEVED? AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, WE HAVE NOT SO MUCH AS HEARD WHETHER THERE BE ANY HOLY GHOST. 3. AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, UNTO WHAT THEN WERE YE BAPTIZED? AND THEY SAID, UNTO JOHN’S BAPTISM. 4. THEN SAID PAUL, JOHN VERILY BAPTIZED WITH THE BAPTISM OF REPENTANCE, SAYING UNTO THE PEOPLE, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE ON HIM WHICH SHOULD COME AFTER HIM, THAT IS ON CHRIST JESUS. 5. WHEN THEY HEARD THIS, THEY WERE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS. 6. AND WHEN PAUL HAD LAID HIS HANDS UPON THEM, THE HOLY GHOST CAME ON THEM; AND THEY SPAKE WITH TONGUES, AND PROPHESIED. 7. AND ALL THE MEN WERE ABOUT TWELVE. ETERNAL LIFE IS IN THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH, BODY OF CHRIST, AND THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THAT I KNOW TO GET INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST AND THAT IS TO BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. ACTS:2:38 THEN PETER SAID UNTO THEM, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. 1JN:5:11 AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. GAL:3:27 FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. EXCEPT A MAN EAT OF THE FLESH OF THE LORD JESUS, AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD HE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN HIM. JN:6:53 THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU. AND WE EAT OF THE FLESH, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS WHEN WE PARTAKE OF THE LORD’S SUPPER. MT:26:26 AND AS THEY WERE EATING, JESUS TOOK BREAD, AND BLESSED IT, AND BRAKE IT, AND GAVE IT TO THE DISCIPLES, AND SAID, TAKE, EAT; THIS IS MY BODY. 27. AND HE TOOK THE CUP, AND GAVE THANKS, AND GAVE IT TO THEM, SAYING, DRINK YE ALL OF IT; 28. FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHICH IS SHED FOR MANY FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS. YOU MUST ALLOW THE SAINTS OF GOD, THE BODY OF CHRIST, TO WASH YOUR FEET, AND YOU WASH THEIR FEET. JN:13:4 HE RISETH FROM SUPPER, AND LAID ASIDE HIS GARMENTS; AND TOOK A TOWEL, AND GIRDED HIMSELF. 5. AFTER THAT HE POURETH WATER INTO A BASON, AND BEGAN TO WASH THE DISCIPLES’ FEET, AND TO WIPE THEM WITH THE TOWEL WHEREWITH HE WAS GIRDED. 6. THEN COMETH HE TO SIMON PETER: AND PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, DOST THOU WASH MY FEET? 7. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT I DO THOU KNOWEST NOT NOW; BUT THOU SHALT KNOW HEREAFTER. 8. PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, THOU SHALT NEVER WASH MY FEET. JESUS ANSWERED HIM, IF I WASH THEE NOT, THOU HAST NO PART WITH ME. YOU MUST BE OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDS OF CHRIST. MT:7:21 NOT EVERY ONE THAT SAITH UNTO ME, LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN; BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. YOU MUST WORK IN THE HARVEST OF SOULS. JN:15:1 I AM THE TRUE VINE, AND MY FATHER IS THE HUSBANDMAN. 2. EVERY BRANCH IN ME THAT BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: AND EVERY BRANCH THAT BEARETH FRUIT, HE PURGETH IT, THAT IT MAY BRING FORTH MORE FRUIT. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU.
