The Unfinished Work
From the very beginning, God has looked for a people who would believe his plan and that would be willing to subdue and conquer sin. To make this possible, he has given man a part of him – his Spirit – that man did not have in the beginning. When that happens, man becomes a new creation, able to overcome all things. As we have borne the sinful image and nature of the first Adam, so too must we now bear the sinless image and nature of the last Adam – Jesus. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Therefore, it will be those who totally overcome all things in their flesh, including death, as Jesus did, who will inherit all things. The kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our God.
There is a great unfinished work to be done, which Adam was unable to fulfill. His Sons, in Christ and by the Spirit of the Father, will subdue and conquer this earth, finishing this work. God’s Only Plan will be fulfilled. Christ wants his Church, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing – perfect in all righteousness, without sin.
Genesis 1:27-31 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Come, Lord Jesus. Come.
Believing Leads To Completeness
God is going to find a people that will believe this and take it and he is going to manifest himself in them.
Romans 8:18-19 – For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
I John 3:1-3 – Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Kingdom – Fulfills Plan
This is the kingdom message. It’s the total fulfillment of the original plan.
Ephesians 1:4-6 – According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
I John 1:1-3 – That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Received By The SPIRIT
You can only receive this by the Spirit, because it is given by the Spirit.
John 14:16-17 – And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
I Corinthians 2:14 – But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Romans 8:5-7 – For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
His Covenant – Perfection, Life
His covenant is Perfection, all Life.
Matthew 5:48 – Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Hebrews 5:14-6:1 – But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
I Peter 5:10 – But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
