It’s been almost 2000 years since Christ was crucified. He was God manifest in the flesh, dwelling among us; the creator of heaven, earth, and the whole host of them. Who came to willingly lay down His life as a sacrifice, for our sins, to enact His Fathers will, so that all who believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.
So be careful “Christians”, unless you trample underfoot the Son of God, and profane the blood of the covenant by which He was sanctified, and outrage the Spirit of grace, by continuing in deliberate sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth.
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
On the subject, I recently heard a great connection with Jesus in the Old Testament. You know how Abraham, the father of Isaac, was climbing the mountain to offer his son as an offering? Similar to God and Jesus. Also, Isaac was carrying the wood, same as Jesus. His son didn't die and was the beginning of God's promise to Abraham, similar to Jesus.
It's amazing how God's word is true on so many levels that to this day, we can still find new and amazing discoveries...
Yes spot on. Abraham even called that place “The LORD will provide” which was a foreshadowing to the future sacrifice that God would one day provide in our stead: Jesus Christ
