God’s Word Interprets God’s Word

All The Unconditionally Chosen Elect, The Children of Promise, will be saved from their sins conditioned solely on the atoning shed blood of Jesus Christ and His imputed righteousness alone; both Jew and Gentile, chosen from before the foundation of the world according to purpose. All the children of promise will come to the knowledge of the truth and belief of the gospel of Jesus Christ through generation from above by the Sovereign will of God blowing through the Spirit to whom He wills.

Revelation 20:15

And if anyone was not found having been written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire.

What is the Book Of Life? This is the book that contains the names of the people Jesus Christ secured the salvation for conditioned on His atoning shed blood and His imputed righteousness alone; apart from works. 1 Corinthians 3:11,15

No flesh by the works of the Law will be able to be justified because God cannot accept anything less than perfection and without a perfect substitute and God worked and given faith in the atoning shed blood and His imputed righteousness of that perfect substitute, Jesus Christ; it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6 Luke 18:19 1 Corinthians 4:7

Only Jesus Christ who is fully God and fully Man qualifies to be that substitute. 2 Corinthians 5:21

Romans 3:20

Comment

Both the unconditionally chosen to salvation and those unconditionally chosen reprobates fitted out for destruction will glorify the attributes of God; His Sovereignty, Omniscience, Righteousness, Love, Mercy, Justice, Wrath, and Power. Revelation 4:11, 5:9,7:9, Proverbs 16:4

All God’s promised people will come to the knowledge of the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ sometime between conception and death through generation from above who receive a new heart through a new spirit unto belief of the Gospel that salvation is conditioned on Jesus Christ alone without effort or work from those for whom Christ died. They will know they have no righteousness of their own and only through the Holy Spirit working in them can they please God through God given faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ who has mercy on whom He sovereignly chooses. Romans 9:15 John 3:8 Isaiah 64:6 Luke 18:13 Luke 23:42

Matthew 11:26-30, John 3:3,5,8, Isaiah 43:7, 2 Thessalonians 2:10-13, Philippians 1:29 2 Corinthians 4:6

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed ( embarrassed) of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek;

Comment

The justified by the work of Christ alone will live their lives by God given faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ knowing their salvation is secure and certain based on Jesus Christ. They will strive to keep His commandments of loving God and their neighbor.

Romans 1:17

for in it ( The Gospel) the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; even as it has been written, “But the just shall live by” “faith.” Hab. 2:4

Romans 3:20-23

Because by works of law not one of all flesh will be justified before Him, for through law is full knowledge of sin. Psa. 143:2

But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets

even the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ toward all and upon all those believing; for there is no difference,

for all sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Comment

Jesus Christ was God incarnate. He did not fall short of the glory of God John 1:1-3,14,18

John 14:15, Revelation 12:17

No one is saved where their salvation is believed to be conditioned to any degree on their own self righteousness or works. Luke 18:13–14 Romans 10:1-4

Anyone practicing and being characterized by sin will demonstrate God has not yet made them a new creation in Jesus Christ and they do not believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 1 Corinthians 6:9. John 6:47, John 5:24 Mark 16:16 John 3:36

God makes new creations that will be perfected at His return when He gives His promised people incorruptible resurrected spiritual sinless bodies incapable of sinning. Until then, His people are exhorted to reckon their bodies as dead. God promises to save His people conditioned on the work and person of Jesus Christ and He promises to work the willing and the doing in them for His good pleasure Philippians 1:6, 2:13 Romans 6:16-20

Romans 6:11-14, 2 Corinthians 5:17, 1 Corinthians 15

Matthew 1:21-23

And she will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins. Revelation 5:9, 7:9 Revelation 20:15 John 6:37-39

And all this happened so that might be fulfilled that spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

Behold! The virgin will conceive in her womb and will bear a son, and they will call His name Emmanuel” (which translated is, God with us). Isa. 7:14

1 Corinthians 6:1-10

Does anyone of you having a matter against another dare to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints?

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of small judgments?

Do you not know that we shall judge angels, not to speak of this life?

If, then, you truly have judgments of this life, those being least esteemed in the church, you sit these.

For I speak shame to you. So, is there not a wise one among you, not even one who will be able to give judgment on his brother in your midst?

But brother is judged with brother, and this before unbelievers!

Indeed, then, there is already a failure with you all, that you have lawsuits with yourselves. Why not instead be wronged? Why not instead be defrauded?

But you do wrong, and defraud, and these things to brothers!

Or do you not know that unjust ones will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be led astray, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,

nor thieves, nor covetous ones, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor plunderers shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:18-26

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness,

idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, wild parties, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also said before, that the ones practicing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

meekness, self-control. Against such things there is not a law.

But the ones belonging to Christ crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not become glory seeking ones, provoking one another, envying one another.

Romans 1:18-32

For God’s wrath is revealed from Heaven on all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, holding back ( suppressing) the truth in unrighteousness, (KJ3)

because the thing known of God is clearly known within them, for God revealed it to them.

for the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse.

Because knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful. But they became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened

Professing to be wise, they became foolish

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into a likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

Because of this, God gave them up to impurity in the lusts of their hearts, their bodies to be dishonored among themselves,

who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Romans 1:26-27

Because of this, God gave them up to dishonorable passions, for even their females changed the natural use to that contrary to nature.

And likewise, the males also forsaking the natural use of the female burned in their lust toward one another, males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving back within themselves the reward which was fitting for their error.

Romans 1:28

And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave (delivered ) them up to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right,

Romans 1:29

having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, iniquity, covetousness, malice, being full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, becoming whisperers,

Romans 1:30

slanderers, God-haters, insolent, proud, braggarts, devisers of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Romans 1:31

without discernment, perfidious, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful,

Romans 1:32

who knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also applaud those practicing them .

Comment

Always keep in mind Proverbs 16:4 and Revelation 4:11 Romans 9:22-23

God wants to show His wrath and to make His power known on vessels of wrath fitted out for destruction in order that He show the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy prepared beforehand for glory. Romans 9:22-23

You can plant the Gospel and water the seed that was planted; but you don’t have the power to convert anyone because God gives the increase to His people and we don’t know who they are or who they will be or when or if it will happen.

We only know that a person that does not believe the Gospel has not been generated from above and has not yet been given a new heart through a new spirit from above by God’s Sovereign will. John 3:3,5,8, 1 Corinthians 3

Romans 9:20-21

Yes, rather, O man, who are you answering against God? Shall the thing formed say to the One forming it , Why did You make me like this? Isa. 29:16

Or does not the potter have authority over the clay, out of the one lump to make one vessel to honor, and ( make) one to dishonor? Jer. 18:6

Proverbs 16:4

Jehovah ( The LORD) has made all for His purpose, yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Revelation 4:11

Lord, You are worthy to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You created all things, and through Your will they exist and were created.
