When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Colossians 2:13-14.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Jesus told the scribes and the Pharisees: “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.” John 8:23-24.
Why would they die in their sins if they did not have faith in Him? Faith that He is One with Me and that I sent Him to save My people from their sins? He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and that there is no way to Me but by faith in Him.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18.
Whoever believes in My Son, whose Name is Jesus, which is Yeshuah in the Hebrew language I originally spoke His Name in, and you should know that Yeshuah means “Salvation,” shall not perish but have eternal life. I saved the world through Him. If you receive Him by faith, you are not judged because He took the judgment against Adam for his treachery, which was upon every one of his descendants until it was paid, and He paid it in full and He Himself satisfied the sentence that was upon Adam and every one of his descendants until it was satisfied in full.
I bought you at a great price, for I was in Christ reconciling the world to Myself, not accounting your sins to you but I accounted them all to Jesus and He and I took care of them. We nailed them to the cross. He made peace between you and Me by the blood of the cross. You have been redeemed, ransomed, and set free by My Son who is your Salvation.
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus as Lord, but if you do not receive Him, My gift to you of Him is not complete for you have rejected My gift and I cannot force you to receive Him. That is your choice but it makes the difference whether you will be judged and condemned because you cannot pay the price of giving an eternal life in the flesh for the one Adam lost (murdered by his own free will) because you are of his perishable seed and as long as you do not receive Jesus you have not been born again from above by the imperishable seed of My Word and you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven because you are still in your sins. They are still accounted to you.
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:18.
You have all been judged and condemned in Adam but in Christ the judgment is paid and the sentence satisfied. When He died to sin once for all, you died in Him, and when I raised Him from the dead with the judgment paid and sentence satisfied, I raised you up with Him as justified.
And those who have believed and received total forgiveness of sin and release from judgment and condemnation and as proof of this, I seal you in Christ by the Holy Spirit as a pledge that you have eternal life even in your mortal body which also will be redeemed and made new. And I write your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life and all your sins are erased from the book of deeds. You who believe will not die in your sins, Jesus took them. It is no longer your fault. Jesus took all your faults and nailed them to the cross. You have been redeemed. All is finished with the debt you owed that Adam incurred for all his generations until it was paid.
Have you ever considered what happens to a debt or judgment in the probate court? It goes down the generations until paid in full. It becomes a claim in the probate of the estate of a decedent who owed it to be paid by their heirs. Similarly, have you ever read a contract for payment of an amount due? It is binding on the one owing the sum and all their heirs and assigns and inures to the benefit of the one to whom the amount is owed and all their heirs and assigns.
The LORD descended in the cloud and stood there with him as Moses called upon the name of the LORD. Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.” Exodus 34:5-7.
But for those of you in Christ Jesus, the judgment has been paid in full. You owe no more.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days. Deuteronomy 30:19-20.
Your kinsman redeemer has paid your debt for you. If you recall, the kinsman redeemer was a blood relative of your family, preferably your brother, who could pay your debt and redeem you from slavery to freedom. Leviticus 25:47-49.
Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. Hebrews 2:14-15.
For you know the grace of your Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9. He emptied Himself, took on your flesh but was born from above (the virgin birth, Isaiah 7:14, the seed of the woman, Genesis 3:15) and not from Adam’s perishable seed so He had an eternal life, a sinless eternal life in the flesh, to give for the one Adam had murdered in himself for you all by exchanging the incorruptible seed of truth (My Word) in him for the corruptible seed of the lie that then made his seed and all his descendants born thereof perishable and subject to death. A lie is perishable. It must die. The wages of sin is death. The judgment is a life for a life. And Jesus paid that with what no one else is born with from below, eternal life in the flesh. That is why Jesus told the scribes and Pharisees: “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.” John 8:23-24. And that is the same reason He told Nicodemus: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3.
Therefore you who believe in My Son are no longer under judgment or sentence you are under the benefit of all that Jesus has done for you. He finished the work I gave Him to do, which was saving you from the slavery of sin and death, in Him you have redemption by His blood (for the life, His eternal life, was in the blood poured out for you on the mercy seat), the forgiveness of your sins and payment in full for all you owed to Me. Divine justice is fully satisfied for those who are in Christ Jesus, the Way to Me is paid in full.
Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4.
And it is even greater. You have been taken out of the realm of the flesh into the realm of the Spirit in Christ Jesus your Lord—out of death to life.
For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Romans 8:5-9.
Death is behind you, Jesus went to the dust of death for you, and eternal life in My Kingdom is before you. In Christ, you have been made alive as a new creation, and you have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit to dwell in you and with you forever. Your born again spirit is alive to Me and dead to sin!
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:5-8.
Yes, the Way is a new and living way straight into the Holy of Holies for your great High Priest as your forerunner has gone behind the veil and taken you all with Him.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
The good news is you never have to leave My throne room in Heaven again. I have seated you there in Christ Jesus on the throne of the Son of Man at My right hand that Adam abdicated to the devil. But Jesus, as the second Adam, knocked the devil off it and won it back for those who are in Christ. All that remains for the devil is the leasehold interest of Adam on the earth and that is almost ready to expire.
And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who]dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time.” Revelation 12:9-12.
I love you. Do you see how important it is to be on the Way? It is the path of life, fullness of joy in My presence and the delights at My right hand forever. And the good news is that there is no charge to you, it has all been paid in full by your kinsman redeemer, My Son and your brother, Jesus Christ your Lord. You are assured of everlasting life secure in My Kingdom. Walk with Him on the Way in a manner worthy of your noble stature that I have freely given you in Christ.
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:13-14.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10.
