“WORDS”
THAT CHANGED THE WORLD FOREVER!
How America sowed to the
wind, by sacrificing to devils. And is now reaping the
whirlwind. By Rev. Robert L. Bufkin’
[Ed
note: We, at Cephas Ministry, enjoyed this
article so much that we wanted to share it with you. Since we don’t know
which Bible the author used, we added the KJV in red to verify that he
was telling the truth. Rev. Bufkin believes that the Holy Spirit’s gift of
‘Speaking in Tongues’ is a necessary evidence a person has received the
Holy Spirit. We do not agree with that since it is not born out in the
Bible. There are nine gifts of the Spirit. “Faith” is one of them. See 1 Corinthians 12:4-10 Now there
are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit…. ”]
Jesus stood and
cried out….”Wherever” That word destroyed
the tabernacle/temple/priesthood system revealed by Moses. The Law had
served its purpose, which was not to save men, but to show men their sin.
It was Almighty
God notifying the human race that he was cancelling
his temporary street address, Jerusalem, Israel,Temple Mount, Holy of Holies, and was
putting in a permanent change of address: From the Holy of Holies, to the
Body of Christ. Jehovah would now dwell in the Body of Christ
Jesus who was the ‘ikon’ of Almighty God.
Under Moses Law,
every male, head of a household, had to being a sacrifice once a year on
the Great Day Of Atonement, to offer for his sins and the sins of his
immediate family. But the Law declared that anyone who made a
sacrifice at any other location on earth, besides the brazen altar at the
Temple Mount in Jerusalem, was sacrificing to devils.
Even if they claimed to call on the name of the Lord, they were
sacrificing to devils.
But to the far
north of Jerusalem, in the area of the Ten
Tribes, known as Israel, one of their Kings claimed
he was doing the people a favor by allowing them to make their sin
sacrifices of atonement near at home to save the long and difficult
journey up to Jerusalem in Judea. But when the people
brought their sacrifices to the substitute altars in Israel, even though they called on
the name of Jehovah, it was devils that received their acts.
Disobedience to any of God’s laws, opens
the door to devils to take charge of a person’s life and torment them
with sickness, defeat, affliction, terror or some other specialty of satan. A good example is, if any man did not
bring his tithe to the storehouse in the Temple area at Jerusalem, the destroyer would have
legal right to torment him. But the Lord Jehovah promised that if a person
would bring all their tithes into the storehouse, the Lord himself would
rebuke the devourer so the person would not be devoured with torments.
Disobedience always gives devils legal right to torment and
destroy.
Jesus Christ
stood and cried out to all of Israel, “Wherever, two or three
are gathered together in my Name, I am there”. The term, I am, is
the verb form of the name Jehovah. And the term, there, is
rendered, Shammah, in the Hebrew. Jesus
Christ said that he was indeed Jehovah-Shammah.
Jesus Christ claimed that he was not limited to his physical body. Jesus
Christ claimed the attribute of Omnipresence. The Jehovah-Shammah of the Old Testament era was speaking from
his new location, the Body of Christ. Jesus said,
the words I speak are the Father’s words, not mine. John 12:46-50.
If you don’t accept the absolute deity of Jesus Christ, you cannot be a
Christian.
[John 12:46-50
KJV “I am come into the world as light,
that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness; and if any
one hear my words and do not keep them, I judge him not, for I am not
come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. He
that rejects me and does not receive my words,
has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge
him in the last day. For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father
who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I
should speak; and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What
therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”]
Jehovah of the
Old Testament had moved out of the physical Temple Of Solomon and into a human body, the
Lord Jesus Christ. The Shekinah Glory had left
that Temple over 600 years before Jesus
was born because of the repeated sins of idolatry of Israel. The first twelve chapters
of Ezekiel record the step by step departure of the Shekinah
Glory from the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Solomon. That Shekinah
Glory was not seen again on earth until the Body of Immanuel entered the
domain of the human family, by the womb of a virgin girl named
Mary.
That Shekinah Glory was
put on display for three men named, Peter, James and John about midnight on top of another mountain
in Israel.
The Shekinah Glory was like a
sphere and was so bright its powerful rays would have killed Moses if he
had not filled the Holy of Holies with a thick cloud of incense.
That bright light, that would kill a human
being standing in it’s presence, shown out of the face of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ was the image of Jehovah God who was manifested in and
through the flesh. JESUS CHRIST was and is the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob in human form. We agree with the apostle, Paul, great is the
mystery of the god-nature which appeared in human form. We agree with
Thomas speaking to Jesus, “My Lord and my God.”
2 Timothy 3:16, And without controversy great is
the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the
Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory.
[2 Timothy 3:16 KJV “Every scripture is divinely inspired, and profitable for
teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness;”]
2 Cor. 4:3-11, says, The Glory of God is no longer in the Holy of
Holies, but in the face of Jesus Christ. When you see Jesus, you
see the Father. Great and glorious but also mysterious is the Mystery of
God’s-being.
[2 Corinthians 4:3-11 KJV “ But if also our gospel is
veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost; in whom the god of this
world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the
Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine forth for them. For we
do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your
bondmen for Jesus' sake.
Because it is the God who spoke that out of darkness light
should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have
this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness
of the power may be of God, and not from us: every way afflicted, but not
straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;
persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed; always
bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus
may be manifested in our body; for we who live are always delivered unto
death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested
in our mortal flesh;”]
Isaiah saw that Temple of flesh
and said: Isa 9:6 For
unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall
be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
[Isaiah 9:6 KJV
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government
shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty *God, Father of Eternity, Prince
of Peace.”]
Now the same law that brought life to the obedient
and death to the disobedient applies to our Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone who
makes prayers or praise or service to any other God save our Lord Jesus
Christ and him only, they are fellowshipping devils and are under a curse
from Jehovah God.
1Co 10:1
I
want you to remember, my friends, what happened to our ancestors who
followed Moses. They were all under the protection of the cloud, and all
passed safely through the Red Sea. (born of water/and
born of Spirit)
1Co 10:2
In
the cloud and in the sea they were all baptized as followers of Moses.
1Co 10:3 All ate the same
spiritual bread
1Co 10:4
and
drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from the spiritual rock that
went with them; and that rock was Christ himself. 1Co 10:5 But
even then God was not pleased with most of them, and so their dead bodies
were scattered over the desert.
1Co 10:6 Now, all of this is
an example for us, to warn us not to desire evil things, as they did,
1Co 10:7
nor
to worship idols, as some of them did. As the scripture says, "The
people sat down to a feast which turned into an orgy of drinking and
sex." (TV and it associates, are all the idols of Egypt rolled into one)
1Co 10:8
We
must not be guilty of sexual immorality, as some of them were---and in
one day twenty-three thousand of them fell dead. 1Co 10:9 We must
not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did---and they were
killed by snakes. 1Co 10:10 We must not complain, as some of them did---and
they were destroyed by the Angel of Death.
(They reviled God’s word as untrue-just
like TODAY USA)
1Co 10:11
All these things happened to them as examples for
others, and they were written down as a warning for us. For we live at a
time when the end is about to come.
1Co 10:12 If you think you are standing
firm you had better be careful that you do not fall.
1Co 10:15 I speak to you as sensible
people; judge for yourselves what I say.
1Co 10:18 Consider the people of Israel; those who eat what is
offered in sacrifice share in the altar's service to God.
1Co 10:19
Do
I imply, then, that an idol or the food offered to it really amounts to
anything?
1Co 10:20 No! What I am saying is that
what is sacrificed on pagan altars (TV-Hollywood et al)
is offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to
be partners with demons.
1Co 10:21 You cannot drink from the
Lord's cup and also from the cup of demons; you cannot eat at the Lord's
table and also at the table of demons.
1Co 10:22 Or do we want to make the Lord
jealous? Do we think that we are stronger than he?
[1 Corinthians
10:1-22 KJV “ For
I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under
the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and all were baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and
all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink,
for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them: (now the rock was
the Christ;) yet God was not pleased with the most of them, for they were
strewed in the desert. But these things happened as types of us, that we
should not be lusters after evil things, as
they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as it is
written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication,
and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt the
Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents. Neither murmur
ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. Now all
these things happened to them as types, and have been written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. So that let him that
thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has taken you
but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will
not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to bear, but will
with the temptation make the issue also, so that ye should be able to
bear it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
I speak as to intelligent persons: do *ye* judge what I say. The
cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of
the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body
of the Christ? Because we, being many, are one loaf, one body; for we all
partake of that one loaf. See Israel according to
flesh: are not they who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?
What then do I say? that what is sacrificed to
an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? But that what the
nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not
wish you to be in communion with demons. Ye cannot drink the Lord's cup,
and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the Lord's table, and of the
table of demons. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are
we stronger than he?”]
This next
verse applies to Television and all such like communication.
1Co 10:28 But if someone tells
you, "This food was offered to idols, (TV) " then do not eat
that food, for the sake of the one who told you and for conscience'
sake---
1Co 10:29
that
is, not your own conscience, but the other person's conscience.
"Well, then," someone asks, "why should my freedom to act
be limited by another person's conscience? (Because Jesus is like
that!!! Isn’t that a wonderful Jesus???)
[1 Corinthians 10:28-29 KJV
“But if any one say to you, This is offered to holy purposes, do not eat,
for his sake that pointed it out, and conscience sake; but conscience, I
mean, not thine own, but that of the other: for
why is my liberty judged by another conscience? nger than..”]
1Co 11:20
When
you meet together as a group, it is not the Lord's Supper that you eat.
[1
Corinthians 11:20 KJV
“When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat the
Lord's supper.]
1Co 11:26
For
as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
1Co 11:27
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be
guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
(just like Judas Iscariot)
1Co 11:28
But
let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that
bread, and drink of that cup.
1Co 11:29
For
he that eateth and drinketh
unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning
the Lord's body.
1Co 11:30
For
this cause many are weak and sickly among
you, and many sleep. (die young or before old age)
[1 Corinthians
11:26-30 KJV
“For as often as ye
shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the
Lord, until he come. So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the
cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and
of the blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of
the bread, and drink of the cup. For the eater and drinker eats and
drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body. On this account
many among you are weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep.”]
An act of
disobedience concerning the observing of the Lord’s Supper,
can bring damnation, sickness and death to the rebel. See Hebrews
2:1,2, they didn’t escape-WE SHALL NOT ESCAPE
either.
[Hebrews 2:1-2
KJV “For this reason we should
give heed more abundantly to the things
we have heard, lest in any way we should slip away. For if the
word which was spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and
disobedience received just retribution,”]
JESUS did not
come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill the Law. Paul explained the
fulfilling of the Law as meaning the establishing of the Law as being
perfect and righteous. TODAY 2010, IF YOU WORSHIP ANY OTHER GOD
EXCEPT JESUS CHRIST, you are fellowshipping devils and bring damnation to
yourself. The Law that pertained to the geographical location
of the city of Jerusalem, now applies to the location
of the God in Christ Jesus. If you worship any other God you will be
damned for eternity. That Law still applies. That means that you cannot
use any other name except the name of Jesus Christ. Peter said: “There
is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved, except the name Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12. Paul said, Whatever
you do, in word or in deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
[Acts 4:12 KJV
“And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name
under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved.”]
Col
2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ
Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of
the Godhead bodily.
[Colossians 2:6 KJV
“As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,”]
Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power:
[Colossians 2:10 KJV “and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all
principality and authority,”]
(Matt. 28:18) [Matthew
28:18 KJV “And Jesus
coming up spoke to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven
and upon earth.”]
So by proclaiming freedom of
religion, America sent notice to Satan, you
are safe here. We fellowship all devils.
Col 1:14 In whom we have
redemption through his blood, even the
forgiveness of sins: Col 1:15
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 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:
[Colossians
1:14 KJV
“in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;”]
Col 1:17
And
he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18
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.
[Colossians 1:17-18 KJV “And *he* is before all, and
all things subsist together by him. And *he* is the head of the body, the
assembly; who is the beginning, firstborn from among the dead, that *he*
might have the first place in all things:”]
Col. 3:17; and whatsoever you
do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
[Colossians 3:17 KJV
“And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, do all
things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by
him.”]
Act 7:59 And they stoned Stephen,
calling upon GOD, and saying, Lord Jesus,
receive my spirit.
Act 7:60
And
he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to
their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
[Acts 7:59-60 KJV “And they stoned
Stephen, praying, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And kneeling
down, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.
And having said this, he fell asleep.”]
JESUS
CHRIST said, Before Abraham was, I AM. I AM is the name of Jehovah
revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:13,14.
[Exodus 3:13-14 KJV
“And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel,
and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you;
and they shall say, What is his name? what shall
I say unto them? And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM. And he said, Thus
shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto you.”]
BUT THEN JESUS CHRIST added this damnation to his
Name, Joh 8:24 I
said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye
believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins. Jesus is not part
deity but all the fullness of the God nature in a body. Not half of it or
a third of it but all of deity in a body. Fulness
of deity dwells in the ‘ ikon’
of God, Jesus Christ.
[John 8:24 KJV “ I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your
sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am he, ye shall die in your
sins.”]
John added: 1Jn 2:23
Whosoever
denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth
the Son hath the Father also. (That was God in
Christ hanging on that Cross.)
1 John 2:23 Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either;
he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
1Jn 2:15
Love
not the world, neither the things that are
in the world. If any man love the world, the
love of the Father is not in him. 1Jn 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of
the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world.
[1
John 2:15 KJV
“ Love not the world, nor the things in the
world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him”];
1Jn 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth
the will of God abideth forever.
[1 John 2:17 KJV “And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that
does the will of God abides for eternity.”]
1Jn 2:23 No one who denies the Son has
the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.
[1 John 2:23 KJV “ Whoever denies
the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the
Father also.”]
Jn 3:3
Everyone who has this hope in Christ keeps himself pure, just as Christ
is pure.
1Jn 3:4
Whoever sins is guilty of breaking God's law, because sin is a breaking
of the law.
1Jn 3:5
You
know that Christ appeared in order to take away sins, and that there is
no sin in him.
1Jn 3:6
So
everyone who lives in union with Christ does not continue to sin; but
whoever continues to sin has never seen him or known him.
1Jn 3:7
Let
no one deceive you, my children! Whoever does what is right is righteous,
just as Christ is righteous.
1Jn 3:8
Whoever continues to sin belongs to the Devil, because the Devil has
sinned from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for this very
reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.
1Jn 3:9
Those
who are children of God do not continue to sin, for God's very nature is
in them; and because God is their Father, they cannot continue to sin.
1Jn 3:10 Here is the clear difference
between God's children and the Devil's children: those who do not do what
is right or do not love others are not God's children.
1 John 3:3-10 KJV
“And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as
*he* is pure. Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
And ye know that *he* has been manifested that he might take away our
sins; and in him sin is not. Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever
sins, has not seen him or known him.
Children, let no
man lead you astray; he that practises
righteousness is righteous, even as *he* is righteous. He that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning
the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he
might undo the works of the devil.
Whoever has been
begotten of God does not practise sin, because
his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of
God. In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the
devil. Whoever does not practise righteousness
is not of God, and he who does not love his
brother.”]
Jesus said, I am
the way, the truth and the life, no man comes unto the Father except by
me. John 14:6. Then Jesus added that all others who claim to be god or
the way to god are thieves and robbers, which was Jesus’ favorite
nick-name for satan. Every religion except the
religion of Jesus Christ as revealed in the scriptures listed above are systems for worshipping devils. John 10:8.
[John 14:6 KJV “Jesus says to him, I am the
way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by
me.”
John 10:8 KJV
“All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did
not hear them.”]
The next
word is: “whosoever’. This word meant that Jehovah had not
cancelled the Law of Moses, he just updated it
and upgraded it. Jews were still included but all other human beings were
also included in God’s outreach for the salvation of lost sinners.
For a short list
of examples of how Jesus reached out to all races on earth I offer: Mark
7:26, the Syrophoenician
woman who
was not permitted to attend services in Jerusalem, Israel. Jesus cast the tormenting
devils out of her daughter. Jesus repeatedly crossed the line between Jew
and Gentile.
[Mark 7:26 KJV
“(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by
race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.”]
Matt. 8:6, A
Roman Centurion,
who was not permitted to attend Temple ceremonies in Jerusalem. Jesus healed this man’s
servant boy who was sick.
[Matthew 8:6
KJV “and saying, Lord, my
servant lies paralytic in the house, suffering grievously.”]
Mark 16:9,
Mary Magdalene
out of whom Jesus cast seven devils. She had been a prostitute and was
forever banned from Temple worship. Jesus delivered
her and she became an heir of the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ.
[Mark 16:9 KJV “Now when he had risen very
early, the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons.”]
Just before leaving the earth, Jesus in his
resurrected body gave one final command to his eleven remaining apostles:
The Great Commission. Mar 16:15 He
said to them, "Go throughout the whole world and preach the
gospel to all people.
Mar 16:16 Whoever
believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be
condemned.
[Mark 16:15-16 KJV“And he said to them,
Go into all the world, and preach the glad
tidings to all the creation. He that believes and is baptised
shall be saved, and he that disbelieves shall be condemned.”]
No more
especially sacred locations or holy grounds. No more especially
sacred race. No more especially sacred gender, men only, with women
excluded. No more especially sacred class as with a priesthood or lawyers. No more signs expressly
forbidding, dogs, Samaritans, sinners of any kind.
NO! you can’t come just as you are. YOU can only come if
you repent of every sin which means to turn away from the sin business.
Jesus proclaimed, “ Unless you repent you
shall perish”. Luke 13:3,5.
[ Luke
13:35 KJV “Behold, your house is left unto you;
and I say unto you, that ye shall not see me until it come that ye say,
Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.”]
JOHN refused to
baptize certain people, but only because they had not repented of their
sins. John could see that they were continuing in their sinful life
styles. They had NOT left the sin business. The only ones John refused to
baptize were those who had not repented of and forsaken their sins but
thought they could come to Jesus and bring their sinful life style and
pagan non-Christian religions with them and continue to practice their
sins. See Matthew 3.
No more
especially sacred times and seasons for seeking the Lord or finding his
blessings. TODAY IS THE DAY. No waiting for especially sacred
dates and new moons.
Come unto me,
Jesus proclaimed, and Jesus is Omni-present. Jesus is available anywhere,
in any time-zone. Jesus never slumbers or sleeps. Jesus said, All things are possible if you will only believe.
Mark 9,23,24. No more coming to a priesthood or rituals or ceremonies or a special
class called the clergy. Jesus calls, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists,
Pastors and Teachers and sends them forth to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ.
[Mark 9:23-24 KJV “And
Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is if thou couldst believe: all
things are possible to him that believes. And immediately the father of
the young child crying out said with tears, I believe, help mine
unbelief.”]
Best of all, In Christ there is no more bringing a
sacrifice. Jesus himself was a Lamb with the purchase price that paid for
the entire human race of sinners, from Adam to the end of the world.
JESUS DESTROYED
the priesthood of Israel by bringing a sacrifice to
end all sacrifices: his own sinless self.
The lambs of Israel could never take away sin.
So their sacrifices had to be repeated over and over daily and yearly.
But Jesus, brought to an end forever the need
for another sacrifice, because Jesus had the qualifications and value
required to pay for the sins of the entire human race by that one
sacrifice of himself. See the book of Hebrews.
Jesus was the
only man ever born on earth who didn’t have a
daddy - - - from the earth. Therefore Jesus did not have the sin nature
of Adam. Jesus is the only man who ever lived on this earth who was totally sinless in every thought word and
deed. Therefore Jesus qualified to be the sin sacrifice for you and me.
We can truly say, when Jesus hung on that cross, he took our sin into his
own body, 1 Peter 2:24. So, legally, Jesus became YOU and ME, before the
judgment bar of God. That is why Paul could say, I am dead. I am dead-by
that body handing that Cross. For he took my sin then paid for it with
his own death. It’s a simple case of substitution: I was a sinner
by birth and by experience. So the Law of God came looking for me…and hit
Jesus in my stead. Glory!
[ 1 Peter 2:24 KJV “who himself bore our sins in
his body on the tree, in order that, being dead to sins, we may live to
righteousness: by whose stripes ye have been healed.”]
Don’t you love a
Jesus like that? Then turn to Acts 2:4-42 and Acts 19:1-7 and John 3:3-7
and obey the simple three step plan of salvation: 1) repent of your
sins….say you are sorry for your sins and turn away from your sins. 2) then be baptized by total immersion, or burial in
water, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins; then
3) receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost as evidenced by speaking in other
tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. Just read the Bible references
above and follow the Word. You don’t need any rituals, forms,
ceremonies or instruction books. Just the Bible commands given by Jesus
and his chosen apostles. Do what they said and you will be saved, born
again, redeemed, on your way to heaven.

[Joshua 1:8 KJV
“This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth; and thou shalt meditate upon it day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is
written therein; for then shalt thou have good
success in thy ways, and then shalt thou
prosper.”]
