Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared; Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; And being made perfect, He became the Author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him; Called of GOD an High Priest after the order of Melchisedec. Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the Oracles of GOD; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the Word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 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. (Heb 5:7-14)
Though He was GOD in every sense, The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, was also man in every sense except sin. He suffered every thing we deserve for our sin and every thing we bear in this life. He was tempted in all points as we are yet without sin, He experienced all of this life in the flesh, even grief and pain, again without sin, that we might be made the righteousness of Him by our repentance and faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. Our GOD has become our Salvation, by His obedience. Our Lord has become our Deliverer by His submission to the will of GOD. He has fully and sufficiently paid our sin debt and purchased our redemption that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
The Word made flesh, who suffered and died in our place, but rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, has revealed Himself as Creator, Redeemer, and King in the pages of those Scriptures. He has given us His Word, the written revelation of Himself, that we might know Him, and His purposes and plans as Prophet, Priest, and King. He blesses those who hear, communicates with those that read, commands those that study, corrects and controls those that memorize, and comforts those that meditate on His Word as He applies its precepts and judgments to us through our submission to Him on His terms.
We are to receive by faith the living Word, in Salvation and in sanctification until we are glorified in Him and through Him who first loved us. We are to receive by faith the written Word that we might grow in Him and through His Spirit be conformed to the image of His Son, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Once in Him and with the new life He gives through grace by faith, we are to live His life in us, indwelt by the Holy Spirit and discipled in His Word that we might reflect Him, that others may see Him in us, the hope of Glory. We are to grow up in Him, by exercising ourselves in His Word, not just for the sake of just knowledge, which puffs up, but that we might speak the Truth in love, share Him with others, and live Kingdom lives in this world, but not of it, until He is done with us and takes us Home to be with Him.
He has called His people to serve, His ambassadors with the Word of reconciliation, ministering to those around us who are hurting and in need, taking His Word and ministering His grace into every situation. He has commanded His people to love one another, to fellowship together in worship and service, as we disciple one another in the Word of GOD until we are all grown up into the full measure of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, equipping the saints, encouraging the faithful, and exhorting the labourers, to the work of the ministry and to the edification of the body of Christ. We are commissioned into His army, soldiers of Christ with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and witnesses unto Him who has sent us forth in the power of the Holy Spirit into this lost and dying world with the Good News of forgiveness and reconciliation with the Father that all who hear and believe might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
