SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

Hebrews 9:15
[15]And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

OBSERVATION!

The solemn transactions between God and man, are sometimes called a covenant, here a testament, which is a willing deed of a person, bestowing legacies on such persons as are described, and it only takes effect upon his death. Thus Christ died, not only to obtain the blessings of salvation for us, but to give power to the disposal of them.

All, by sin, were become guilty before God, had forfeited everything that is good; but God, willing to show the greatness of his mercy, proclaimed a covenant of grace.

Nothing could be clean to a sinner, not even his religious duties; except as his guilt was done away by the death of a sacrifice, of value sufficient for that end, and unless he continually depended upon it.

CAN SOLICITATION OF THE WORLDLY, IN YAHEWA’S NAME, BE SEEN AS A FORM OF MURMURING AND AS A CONTEMPT OF YESHUA’S PROMISES?

May we ascribe all real good works to the same all-procuring cause and offer our spiritual sacrifices as sprinkled with Christ’s blood and so purified from their defilement.

COMMENTARY!

For those using discernment, you will find your point of weak dedication in this commentary!

The priesthood and law by which perfection could not come are done away; a priest is risen, and a dispensation now set up, by which true believers may be made perfect.

That there is such a change is plain. The law, which made the Levitical priesthood, showed that the priests were frail, dying creatures, not able to save their own lives, much less could they save the souls of those who came to them.

But the High Priest of our profession holds his office by the power of endless life in himself; not only to keep himself alive, but to give spiritual and eternal life to all who rely upon his sacrifice and intercession.

OBSERVATION!

Our Heavenly Father’s call to return to Him and completely separate from the influences and luxuries of the world is now clearly being displayed to those wise enough to daily use their spiritual discernment, to assess their walks and relationships, in measuring the strength of their dedication to Yeshua in both areas!

COMMENTARY!

Those using their spiritually found wisdom will note how their dedication determines the depth and application of their faith and trust.

We must ask ourselves, do, guilty men remain under wrath? Is their wound forever incurable? No; blessed be God. There is another way laid open for men who may be ignorant of God or may have strayed.

Matthew 9:13 KJV
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.

This is the righteousness of God; righteousness of his ordaining and providing, and accepting.

It is by that faith that has Jesus Christ for its object; an anointed Saviour, so Jesus Christ signifies. Justifying faith respects Christ as a Saviour, in all his three anointed offices, as Prophet, Priest, and King; 

Matthew 25:21 KJV
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Trusting in him, accepting him, and cleaving to him: in all these, Jews and Gentiles are alike welcome to God through Christ.

Romans 10:10 KJV
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

CLOSING OBSERVATION!

When we speak of looking upon Christ, and receiving, and feeding upon him, it is not Christ in heaven, nor Christ in the deep, that we mean; but Christ in the promise, that Christ offers in the word.

Justification by faith in Christ is a plain doctrine. It is brought before the mind and heart of everyone, thus leaving him without excuse for unbelief. If a man confessed faith in Jesus, as the Lord and Saviour of lost sinners, and really believed in his heart that God had raised him from the dead, thus showing that he had accepted the atonement, he should be saved by the righteousness of Christ, imputed to him through faith.

But no faith is justifying, which is not powerful in sanctifying the heart and regulating all its affections by the love of Christ. We must devote and give up to God our souls and our bodies: our souls in believing with the heart and our bodies in confessing with the mouth.

Deuteronomy 11:13 KJV
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

The believer shall never have cause to repent his confident trust in the Lord Jesus. Of such faith no sinner shall be ashamed before God; and he ought to glory in it before men.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.
