Scandalon: Jesus You Became Scandal For Us...!

Jesus is the Son of God and came from Heaven to earth to develop our character and to see us through to refined gold assuming we've been born again. He fulfilled over three hundred prophecies about Messiah. Religion is man's attempts to get to God. Jesus is God reaching down to man in love in a relationship. He had a Covenant with Adam, Seth, Noah, Enoch, of Conscience and by Abrahamic Covenant He related and unified man with God through faith and leading. God was needed to save us because we needed saving. We couldn't escape death and the consequences of our sin. He is the Savior of the world from sin. He Himself lived a reverential life to God when He walked here 2000 years ago in obedience. He lived until age 30 when He started to minister under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. He came to send us an anointing too and to be IN HIM. For three years He walked the earth in ministry to us. The Four New Testament Gospels give a precise accurate description of His Life and Healing Delivering Ministry & Purpose, to forgive us all of our sins, that to believe Him is the only way to Heaven, and to enter His Kingdom paramount He being the King. To follow Him as our all in all is everything then on. "God wants to give you an extraordinary life in the realm of influence He's called you to. He will do this by His grace" (John Bevere writes.) He's called you to a change. God doesn't want anyone lost in other words. Soon there may be no delay by God longsuffering toward us.

To be saved, and Jesus Himself said the way is narrow and hard to Life and the way to destruction is broad and its gate wide and many go to their consequences therein and are perished, so we need a faith, a belief of faith in Him that grows (into born of God life: zoe in Greek.) Jesus spoke about hell as a place to shun and as did the Apostle Paul but Christ spoke more about hell than anyone in scripture. A God Who lets sinful people have their way wouldn't be very just nor would He be very loving to the victims of sinners. Sin is lawlessness and transgressing the Law of God which Law was given to us through Moses to show us we fail God as well as God's Holiness and Love by misdirecting an inner voice, namely the Holy Spirit's voice which can be convicting or commending. Antionomism is anything goes and every situation, relative to it, no absolutes that is in behavioral attitude and action. By this we grieve God who gives the Holy Spirit.

We see by these infallible proofs many laws that God puts out there we fail to obey within the Law (of God through Moses) that show us a limit on personal avenging of a victim to his/her aggressor. God in essence is saying we need a Savior to save us from our passion for in many ways we have gone way over the line in sin before God. If we have ever lied we have sinned before God and if we have ever stolen we have sinned also. Scripture says, "miss the Mark in them, and you've missed (failed) every one of them," (James 2:10.)

Thoughts of love turned to lust? hate? murder in the heart? We deserve hell justly because God's Law judges such attitude/behavior (See Jesus' words in Matthew 5,6,7.) For Utopia God created creation and to live there requires perfection. Otherwise as soon as one of us showed up it would be no longer Utopia. Jesus went to Paradise and succeeded. All others are liars and thieves, "trying to climb up some other way," scripture declares, "into the sheepfold."

In mercy He Himself provided the way to Himself we could not bridge when He sent Himself in the form of Jesus Christ: He lived a pleasing life to God before God pleasing of His Ten Commandments (and the 613 laws) here on earth obedient to death even a cross death. In victory (His) that way we could accept "it is Done" by the Son and so somehow reach to the resurrection from the dead (meaning Heaven,) Paul said in Philipians at the Rapture or when we die. This is the first resurrection. He died in weakness a crucifixion death (II Corinthians 13:4,) but that was Friday... Sunday's a Coming! and He Arose from death and lives by the Power of God in victorious fashion. That Resurrection has been the most documented fact of history! He brought tithes and offering to God which was His Blood to the Throne where God dwelt. Access is now there. He had gone to the cross to suffer God's wrath in an eternity in those six hours on the cross. He suffered our punishment full blown the eternity of eternities of time in six hours on the cross in God's Wrath and came out the other side intact. It took an Eternal Being to save us in Eternity. He became sin and had the full strength of God's Judgment, Punishment, and Wrath poured out upon Himself. Now we can go free. Can you not see and respond in kindness to God to that one act one time once for all Eternity? You can have faith to be healed and saved. You can be assured if you do.

For instance Moses was given a pattern in the Sinai desert as to how God would provide in a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night and by way of the Ark of His Presence which had a Mercy Seat surrounded by cherebim and seraphim where God dwelt back in the Old Testament. This later became the Temple: Holy of Holies and then Christ Himself on earth and now Christ is within each believer, by the Holy Spirit who gives life and ministry to each of us! But you have to be IN Christ to win Eternal Life. In other words, salvation has to be applied to your life and it's a Gift by grace to those that obey by faith through grace (in Greek, Chiro) in fact the obedience of faith Paul spoke of in Romans chapter one to endure to the end. Jesus lived that perfect life perfectly. "I am the way the truth and the life, no man gets to the Father but by Me," Jesus Christ said (John 14:6.) We need to be born of God or born again Jesus taught (John 3:3,5)! We admit we're sinners and have fallen short of God's glory (and that's in Romans 3:23 to do.) Romans three verse ten says, "There is none righteous, no not one." We fall short on the mercy of God and accept Christ as our Lord and Savior humbly in a bow before Him. Paul said He bowed before God so should we.

Be following Christ all the days of our life & we will build a sure foundation against the storms to come established on the Laws and Promises of God and have an inheritance we will have prepared for rooted in God. Jesus is the only way to God. God can put us in the eye of the storm in peace in Him. NO other name under Heaven given among men is needed to be saved Acts 4:12. It is my prayer that you will pray fervently earnestly to know God to the point God knows you through Christ and sincerely ask God to be saved through His Blood committed to live for Christ so you can be ready should He call you home to Heaven (Philippians 3:20-21.) Read the Bible and find Jesus Christ for your salvation. It's for everyone! It's a new spiritual life. It's not religious action of the type of fig leaves nor ecclesiasticalness. You're not turning over a new leaf but turning to the Lord. I was at an age of four when I understood this and asked Him in to be my Savior from sin. It is made by God so a child can understand and be saved. It has been a better full life since then for me and I have never regretted a moment of it! Dave Candel
