He that have ears let him hear…Jesus the Christ the only Fathered of our Creator…who died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you could be reconciled to God. Here is the Holy Prophet Isaiah description of Jesus… Isaiah 53:3-6 He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Jesus became the Author of Salvation to all those whom obey Him and began a New Agreement between God and creation that works salvation, reconciliation, and redemption called the New Testament of Christ. https://www.e-sword.net/downloads.html Hebrews 5:8-9 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered 9 and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation Father, help us make Jesus smile not cry…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen. Acts 22:7-8 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me? 8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecute.

Jesus was punished as if He broke all Ten Commandments for each sinner that has sinned…though He never did a wrong thing. Exodus 20:3-17: 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth… 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy 5. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 6. Thou shalt not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s. Hebrews 5:8-9 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Mark 16:15-19 And he said unto them… Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Ephesians 3:14-21 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Why did Jesus ask why have you forsaken me? Jesus Christ was separated from God because He became sin for those who had sinned, even though Jesus never did a wrong thing. He was punished as if He broke all ten commandments even though He had never broken one single command of God. When forsaken by God, separated by the sin He substituted Himself for, having became sin for us… He clearly Identified what happened asking why have you forsaken (abandoned me spiritually and physically) but never lost His faith, God (for he asked), or in His work of saving the lost. The Father of All, God raising from the dead...as proof He is the Author of Salvation to all those who obey Him, Hebrews 5:8-9 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Jesus never did a wrong thing and offers you a way to be taught to never do a wrong thing again…and a way for all your wrongs to be forgiven and reconciled to God…that is good news…blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness…for they will be filled.

Joh 12:44-48 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45 And he that sees me sees him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejects me, and receives not my words, hath one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Jesus does not punish the evil but grants a opportunity to repent and reconcile to God through the words He spoke to His Apostles who taught us and revealed the New Testament of Christ…which is the New Agreement between God and mankind commonly call the New Testament (Covenant) of Christ. Jesus will keep His children safe, and Jesus is not slack concerning His words…He is ready…. willing…able…to uphold and keep His word. Jesus does not think evil but always does what is best for your soul…listen to the way Love or Jesus can be described…substitute in your mind only, the word Jesus for love and red this passage… 1Co 13:4-8 Charity (Jesus) suffers long, and is kind; charity (Jesus) envies not; charity (Jesus) vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, (Jesus) thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Charity (Jesus) never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. Jesus never violated any of the Ten Commandments and summarized them as Love God first and your neighbor second…You realize this means Jesus always loved everyone souls as if He had sinned their sins? He does not think evil and tries to grant repentance to all those who want to reconcile with God our Creator…Jesus lets you judge yourselves by the deeds you have done to others…listen… Mat 7:1-6 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye meet, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why behold thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Why correct a sinner who does not see his sin? Focus rather on yourself and be the best Christian you can be…even David the man after od’s own heart…said do not stand in the way of sinners…Jesus does not stop people from sinning or doing evil…He uses words and persuasion to convince them to never do a wrong thing again…We judge ourselves by how we treat others…do you forgive? Or hold a grudge…I forgive always…but limit my presence…Listen to what happens to those who do not obey Jesus the Author of Salvation (Heb 5:8-9) … Rev 21:5-8 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning, and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful (cowards), and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Father, please forgive us for being rash and judging others having condemned ourselves…please forgive them and show us mercy that we may have our souls deepest needs met for forgiveness and reconciliation with you and our fellow man, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

How to be great in God’s eyes…we are just babies in diapers before our creator… From the day we are born we learn how dependent we are on others. When I child is born the child is born with no knowledge of good or evil. The child must learn how to tell the truth and not participate in a lie. Most learn how to lie before they learn to tell the truth unless they are raised by parents who teach them the knowledge of good and to shun evil. Adam and Eve when they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, instantly knew all there was to know about good and evil. However, when they had children, Cain and Able, who did not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they too were born with a blank page or without any knowledge of good or evil. Adam and Eve had to teach their children right and wrong. Parents today who have children must teach their children to have morals, virtues, faith, and good ethics or they will have no knowledge of good but only the evil they experience from the power of a lie. Would it have been great to never have heard a lie? We would have only known the truth, and knowledge which was good concerning the truth. We would have no knowledge of evil. We are truly just babies in diapers before our Creator. Think about this…our Creator created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Everything we know was created by our Creator and we as little children have to go to our maker and ask? Jesus the Christ is the Truth. Listen…to what Jesus told Thomas…Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus will as a dad; help his children who practice truth and handle the truth right. Jesus says, Mat 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Do you want to know how to live your life right? Do you want to know how to feed yourself right? Do want to know how to raise your family right? Jesus says, if hunger for right more than food then He will fill your ways. Do you want to be right with God and your fellow man? Mat 18:1-5 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives me. Luk 9:46-48 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. Will you receive your children in Jesus’ name? Yes or no. Adopt a child in Jesus’ name? Will you teach them, Jesus Christ died on the cross and was raised from dead and to love your neighbor as yourself to your children too? Yes or no. Jesus said if you do, then you will have both the Father and the Son. Jesus promises to those who are faithful in the truth these words, Joh 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Father, we are babies in diapers trying to feed and take care of ourselves, please have mercy and meet our deepest needs, help us to live our lives right with and raise our children in the care of Jesus Christ, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name (Acts 22:6-7) Amen.

Who is the Christ the only qualified of God? Who is the only Fathered of our Creator the only Human God ever created a man born of a virgin...For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Joh 3:16-17  Who is the CHRIST? C- Chosen as the only fathered human of our Creator H - He is the Author of Salvation to all those who obey him R - Raised from the dead as proof He is the only fathered of our Creator I – I am of Salvation and reconciliation with God the I am of all that Is. S – Salvation exists only in Jesus name. T – The I am of Salvation the Author of Salvation to all those that obey Him. Jesus the Christ of Nazareth… Act 22:7-9 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. Heb 5:8-9 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Father thank you for sending Jesus and Him doing the work of the cross and being the Author of salvation, I believe and ask you grant me mercy and repentance and meet my soul’s deepest needs, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

The man that walks with God always gets to His destination…a closer walk with God... There are only three ways I know to grow closer to God in a daily walk or routine. One is a daily devotional where faith is created by study of the words from God (Rom 10:17), one is a daily praise in song, and the last is a earnest prayer life. In all my ways, these are the only ways I know a man can be said to say he blessed God. Can God sing to Himself? Can God pray Himself? Can God teach Himself? Who can teach the Creator…we must humble accept Him and seek the source from Whom all truth exists and consists…Jesus the Christ of Nazareth (Act 22:7-8). God is not a what but a WHO…The Great I Am of All that Is! He is the I Am of what IS! May God grant us repentance and mercy, grace, peace, joy, love, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, insight, and a sound mind, and remove every hinderance to the obedience of the truth, we renounce anything unholy, and pray for forgiveness of our selves and others, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus said Judge not unless you be judged by your same judgement, meaning if you do not forgive you cannot be forgiven because your judgement is forgiveness should be limited...so your forgiveness is bound by your mercy as Jesus said blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Mat 5:7  Blessed are the merciful, for they shall find mercy. Mat 7:1-2  Do not condemn others, so that you yourself will not be condemned;  2  For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged; and with what measure you mete out, it shall be measured again to you. Mat 6:5-15  And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, in order that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.  6  But you, when you pray, enter into a private room; and after shutting the door, pray to your Father Who is in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly.  7  And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do; for they think that by multiplying their words they shall be heard.  8  Now then, do not be like them; for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.  9  Therefore, you are to pray after this manner: 'Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name;  10  Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven;  11  Give us this day our daily bread;  12  And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors;  13  And lead us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.'  14  For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  15  But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Please listen, watch and follow Jesus by being inspired to ask the Great Physician to heal your soul, spirit, and body (1 Thes 5:23)... To all you you have working parts male and female...you do not need a physician you are whole go learn in silence of meditation what this means...if you have a working penis and vagina individually then find your plan and purpose as a male or female. God forbid but genetic manipulation has caused some to have both, if this is the case let grow to maturity one will work or begin to function in puberty the other will not function... Ask Jesus of Nazareth the Christ...ask Jesus Christ how to fulfill your plan and purpose in life because you have working natural parts... An Ai generated paraphrase... For those of you with functioning male and female reproductive organs, you are complete and do not require medical intervention. Take the time to understand in silence what this signifies. If you possess both a penis and a vagina separately, determine your role and purpose as either a man or a woman. Unfortunately, genetic manipulation has led to some individuals having both organs. In such instances, allow one to develop and function during puberty while the other remains inactive. Seek guidance from Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, on how to fulfill your life's intended path and purpose, given your naturally functioning parts. Doctors and physicians, why aren't you acknowledging that if your parts are functioning properly, you don't need a physician? Mat 9:12-13  But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.  13  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Please any comments and questions...

Quick Message of The Death Burial and Resurrection of Jesus the Christ of Nazareth: You ever been baptized into Christ; do you believe that Jesus of Nazareth died on a cross and was raised three days later after the worse scourging a sinner ever was punished with? and that Jesus did so willingly so He could reconcile you to your Creator? Jesus Christ is the only Fathered of our Creator the Father of All, the Great I am of all that Is. Do you believe Jesus died and made a way for all your wrongs to be forgiven and a way for you to learn to never do evil again? Yes or No? Jesus of Nazareth, will never lie to you and promises in Matthew 5:6, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. or will you ask Jesus of Nazareth to confirm this truth to you? Yes or No? Jesus of Nazareth said: Joh 3:3-6 ASV Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (4) Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? (5) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and 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. Mar 16:15-16 ASV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. It is Written in the New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament (Covenant) of Christ: Act 2:38-39 ASV And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (39) For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. Col 2:11-13 ASV in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; (12) having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. (13) And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses; Rom 6:3-5 ASV Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? (4) We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. (5) For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; 2Co 5:17-21 ASV Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. (18) But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation; (19) to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. (20) We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. (21) Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. Rom 10:8-11 ASV But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: (9) because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God 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. (11) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame. How to baptize a person in total immersion for the remission of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit: “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, by His Authority, I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit for the remission of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit based on your confession that Jesus Christ is the only Fathered of our Creator, the Savior of mankind…” Then totally baptize them in water, watching the bubbles they not go up the nose if a creek or river or sea, then after plunging them raise them. And I usually try to say, walk in Spirit and Truth. Way to allow the teachings of Jesus to be taught to confirm the words of Mahomed that Jesus the son of Miriam is a true prophet: It is written: in the Holy book, Jesus, the son of (Mary) Miriam is a true prophet. One must reason there is no harm, a devout one must confirm the word of Mahammad by reading the teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to see if both are true prophets. They do many good works for the poor, You can do the same good works and teach in private. Blend in but do not deny your faith in the Almighty God of Gods Jesus the Christ of Nazareth! Amen. And in a public setting to keep peace, One could raise a prayer, to God of Gods be the Glory and those agree say Amen. Non-Institution Answer for Unity: The whole matter is summed up on fellowship in Acts 15, when the Jewish Christians were disfellowshipping over traditions, and the entire congregation, elders, holy spirit, and apostles wrote a letter of the minimum requirements of fellowship or to be a gentile Christian...Act 15:22-31 KJV Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: 24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: 25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. 30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: 31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. That's it: no idolatry (no foods offered to idols) or stay a faithful to Jesus Christ, eat nothing strangled (America we are kosher), no fornication (no sex outside of marriages or stay faithful to your spouse and vow). That's it all we got to do for unity! After people become Christian... Simple summary of faithful Christian: Stay a Christian, Stay married, Stay Faithful to Jesus and don't eat anything killed bad... The minimum requirements of being a faithful sanctified gentile Christian or Saint. I am gonna put it in southern slaang...be faiful to Jesus and Ur Wife, don cha eat or drink nutting bad! Then heaven be yours.

If you make one Christian a year, then the church will double in size each year! Listen to how John the baptist drew a crowd it or could have caused church growth: let us analyze and discuss... Like John the Baptist we prepare the way for the Lord to rule the hearts and minds of men.. . Ever realize he had no microphone, preached in middle of no where and people were like I got to go see where this word is coming from? Scripture said he preached in the wilderness and all men came to him...he was not advertising he was warning, correcting, and instruction people in the way of the Lord...his message turn the hearts of the fathers back to God and the fathers hearts back to their children thus leading to Jesus to reconcile them... The Apostles just preached Jesus like John did in the end of his day...they did not solve all their problems just the biggest one do you know my Jesus? Two of their messages recorded resulted in 3000 and 5000 being converted, Acts 2 and Acts 3...both included God confirming their words with Holy Miracles... Mark 16... John 6:28-29 Interesting study on confirming... Examples of God's word being rebelled against.. . One of Paul's greatest sermon on Mars hill, resulted in none... Jesus did not convert Judas? who knows the heart but God? We just live it, preach it and God is the sum... An old study... Nothing ruins the truth like stretching it. Obedience to the commandments of God: Luke 7:28, Jesus said, “for I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet that John the Baptist, but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he” John the Baptist was a Jewish prophet sent to prepare the way of the Lord. How did he prepare the way of the Lord? His message that prepared the way of the Lord is told to us here in Mark 1:4, “John did baptize in the wilderness and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins”. John gave a new command to the Jews or Israel, which commanded all of Israel to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins. Jesus was a Jew and had to obey all the commands of God and would have sinned if He did not obey the command of God. Why did Jesus get baptized even though He had never committed a sin? Matt 3:13-17, “then comes Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him, but John forbade Him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you and yet you come to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, suffer it to be so now, for thus it becomes us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered Him, and Jesus when he was baptized went 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. And a voice from Heaven saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” So we see that Jesus was baptized for the remission of sins even though He had not sinned, not because He needed forgiveness, but because He had to obey the command of God in order not to sin. John knew He was sinless and did not want to baptize Him. But Jesus said they had to fulfil all righteousness. Meaning Jesus had to obey the command or else be considered a sinner. It is the obedience to the commands of God that saves and prevents sin. There is another example of people obeying the commandment of baptism for the remission of sins, even though they had been cleansed to fulfill all righteousness. In the record of Holy writ found in Acts 10, Peter was given a vision from God. It was a vision of all unclean animals, and was told in the vision to “Rise, Peter kill and eat, but Peter said, Not so Lord for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. And the voice spoke unto him again the second time, What God has cleansed that call not you common”; Acts 10:13-15. Soon after Peter goes to Cornelius dwelling, and Peter refusing to be worshipped, began to teach the truth of Christ, perceiving “that God is not a respecter of persons but in every nation he that fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him” Acts 10:34-35. As Peter was giving the message of salvation, the Holy Spirit fell on Cornelius and those there and they began to speak in tongues the wonderful things of God. Then Peter who alone was told by Jesus, “blessed are you Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you but my Father in Heaven and I say unto You that you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it and I will give unto you(Peter) the keys to the kingdom of Heaven and whatsoever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven and whatsoever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.” Matt 16:17-19. I want you to see that before Peter told Cornelius anything else, that he had the power to loose any commands of God and the power to bind any commands of God. Peter though did not change the message of salvation given to the Jews first, for the Gentiles, which was “repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is unto you and to your children and to ALL that are a far off even as many as the Lord our God shall call” Acts 2:38-39. So Peter seeing that God had cleansed that which he thought was common, He spoke unto all those in Cornelius house, “can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord…” Acts 10:47-48. So I want you to see that obedience to the commands of God produce salvation. Jesus was baptized because He had did not want to sin by not obeying the commandment of God given through John the Baptist. I want you to see that even though God performed a miracle on Cornelius and his household, they too had to obey the same command of Peter to be baptized for the remission of sins. Peter did not loose the command of being baptized but commanded them the same as the Jews, Peter kept the same message of salvation the same for even as many as our Lord God shall call. So for all of those that think we can be saved through a sinners prayer, “now we know that God does not hear sinners, but if any man be a worshiper of God and DOES his will him will He hear” ; Notice you have to DO God’s will to be accepted by Him and not offer lip service through a prayer. Those that think God has two messages of salvation are nothing more than deceived, for it is written: “for God is not the Author of confusion, but of peace as in all the churches of the saints”. Peter had the Authority to change any commands from God but keep the original message of Salvation given to Jews first, the same as for the Gentiles. Father help us and meet our souls’ deepest needs, in Jesus of Nazareth name may it be so. As always ask Jesus of Nazareth to confirm this truth to you...
