Good day. Today's video My Redeemer is on the topic of: The Lord Jesus Christ my redeemer, your redeemer, our redeemer. Jesus Christ paid the price with his life for our sins, (for we were carnal, sold under sin), not only ours but the sins of the whole world. God is no respecter of persons; John 3:16-17 God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that "whosoever" believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (KJV). So you see that by grace (grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, the Son), we are saved through faith; God gave his Son, his grace and truth, Jesus Christ, who died for all, and those who have accepted him as their Lord and Savior, he has redeemed from a life of sin and bondage to the god of this world, satan. We are bought (redeemed = a ransom, a price paid for slaves, to purchase) with a price, and we are not our own, we are the Lord's purchased possession, and what a price he paid for each and every one of us, so let us not be the servants of men. For the riches of this world cannot redeem men and neither can men redeem men. Jesus Christ said I am the resurrection and the life, and I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man can come to the Father but by me; so, whether we live therefore or we die, we are the Lord's, he redeemed us, not men. 1 Peter 1:18-21 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. (KJV) This is how we were purchased, not with tithing 10 percent of our money, for we cannot buy our way into heaven. Our salvation by, through, and in Jesus Christ is a free gift and we freely have access to the riches of His grace, the true riches of wisdom and knowledge. I am dead, purchased by the precious blood of Christ, and my life is hid with Christ in God; my redeemer is Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. We pray that you also know Him as your Redeemer, and you are His purchased possession unto eternal life. Remember, we must die to live. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video Forgive and Forget is on the topic of: Forgiveness and forgetfulness. When we sincerely seek forgiveness for sin through our Lord Jesus Christ, our heavenly Father is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from unrighteousness, as well as forget the sin ever happened (Isaiah 43:25). We have a forgetful Father; it is Satan who reminds us of our sin, which we too have to learn to forgive and forget as well. This is the blessing of the forgiveness of God. However, without the shedding of blood (cutting off of the flesh, the old nature, dieing to sin), there is no remission (forgiveness). You cannot be saved and continue in sin, you have to overcome sin by the leading and guiding of the Spirit of Christ within you, otherwise the consequence will be the Lord saying, "I never knew you, depart from me you worker of iniquity." When you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior your name was written in the book of life, and if you keep his sayings and overcome the world within you, you will never see death (be subject to the second death Revelation 20:12-15). You have to begin in the Spirit and endure unto the end in the Spirit. However, if you do not keep his sayings and do not continue to live a godly life apart from the world and its ways, you may find out that you have been forgotten, your name blotted out of the book of life, because of the sin of unbelief in keeping, guarding, partaking, of his words of spirit and life unto the end. You cannot be blotted out of something if you were not already written there in the first place. Church, you may have walked into the kingdom of God, and no man can pluck you out of God's hand, but guess what, you can certainly walk out on your own as well; God does not violate our free will. It is your choice to continue in the forgiveness and forgetfulness of God, but you also have a choice to be forgotten if you continue in sin. Choose you this day whom you will serve; the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, or the god of your fathers. God bless and keep the faith. Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (KJV)

​​​​Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Good morning. Today's video Personal Effects is on the topic of when you sin against the brethren, you sin against Christ; the effects are personal.
 
​Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (KJV)
 
Everything which is done to a follower of Christ, whether it be good or evil, the Lord considers as done to himself. We are to nourish and cherish the members of the body of Christ even as the Lord does the church, which we are if we abide in his love; for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Remember his prayer in John 17, specifically verses 20-23.
 
Matthew 25:31-41 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: (32) And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: (33) And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. (34) Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: (35) For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: (36) Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. (37) Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? (38) When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? (39) Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? (40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (41) Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (KJV)
 
Matthew 18:2-7 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, (3) And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (4) Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (5) And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. (6) But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. (7) Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! (KJV)
 
Acts 9:3-5 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: (4) And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? (5) And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. (KJV)
 
1 Corinthians 8:9-12 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. (9) For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; (11) And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? (12) But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. (KJV)
 
Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. (KJV)
 
James 3:1-2 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. (2) For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. (KJV)
 
Watch and pray always and consider what you say and what you do. Look not on your own things, but on the things of others; follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith you may edify another. Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks the reason of the hope that is within you, which hope is Christ (1 Timothy 1:1; Colossians 1:27).
 
Ephesians 4:15-16 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: (16) From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. (KJV)
 
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (KJV)
 
All members are needful, and God sets them in the body as he sees fit (read 1 Corinthians 12). If you or anyone else comes against any part of the body, you come against God and his Christ. The effects to the body are personal to our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. So be aware that what we say or do can have a personal effect on the body of Christ; we are members one of another; and we are not our own.
 
1 Corinthians 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. (KJV)
 
Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. (KJV)
 
1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. (KJV)
 
Colossians 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: (KJV)
 
Further references: James 2:15-16, 1 John 3:16-18, Deuteronomy 15:7-8, Luke 6:20-38, Proverbs 3:27-28, James 5:13-20, 1 Timothy 4:1-16, 2 Timothy 2:24-26, Proverbs 19:17, Colossians 3:23-24
 
There are many who corrupt the word of God and crucify the Son of God afresh. But there is still a remnant (few) who continue to hold forth the word of God in sincerity and in truth to the edification of the body of Christ and his glory. The personal effects are eternal; whether it be the sheep on the right hand of the Lord who have done the will of God, blessed of the Father, who will inherit the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world, or whether it be the goats on the left who the Lord considers workers of iniquity and told them to depart from him into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. With what measure you mete; it shall be measured unto you again.
 
As for us personally, we will continue to serve the Lord Jesus Christ, effectually ministering and holding forth the gospel of Christ in sincerity and in truth for his body’s sake and all those who shall believe on him through our word. Will you do the same? God bless and keep the faith.
 
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (KJV)

​​​​Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Good morning. This week's video Book of Life Part-1 , is the first video of a two part series on the topic of keeping your name in the Lamb's book of life; in the end will your name still be written or will it have been blotted out?. You can view all previous videos by going to our YouTube channel Doctrine of Christ Ministry. 

​Have a blessed and prosperous week in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Isaiah 44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. (KJV)  

Whenever you see the word blot or blotted out in the Bible it refers too, to smear out, erase, abolish, even obliterate is used as well. Jesus Christ ran a spiritual campaign on behalf of mankind, and having paid the price for sin was able to erase and cancel out the debt of sin. Now He is seated at the right hand of the Father and is lobbying on mankind’s behalf so that we too can receive the reward of His inheritance. But do beware Church, because not only is the sin blotted out, but the word of God is quite specific to point out that the sinner is erased as well, even those that may have been saints for a season, but left their first love.  

Exodus 32:31-33 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. (32) Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. (33) And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. (KJV)  

Keep in mind that you can’t be blotted out of something unless your name was first written in it. Just like many people today, they may begin their walk with the Lord but it is of utmost importance that one continues to follow through with their commitment to Him. Because what it comes down to simply put, is that if we erase the Lord from our priority list we may find ourselves in the same predicament as well. The fact that God is no respecter of persons, sin is sin, no matter what vessel it manifests through.  

Revelation 3:5-6 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. (6) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (KJV)  

Wannabes, has-beens or any other pretenders will find themselves unable to gain access to their heavenly reward; left out because their name is no longer written in the heavenly book of life. When you delete the Lord and ignore Him the same measure is returned unto you. Once you have accepted the Lord you are required to walk in the Spirit and no longer be in bondage to the desires of the flesh. You are now held to a higher standard, and will need to follow through with your commitment to the end if you hope to receive the reward of inheritance. It’s up to you on a daily basis to spend time in the word of God and hear the Lord’s message of faith so that you can keep your mind renewed in the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. Like a daily role call, make sure your name is still in the book of life and find out your assignment for the day.  

Ezekiel 18:21-22 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. (22) All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. (KJV)  

Your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life because you were willing to turn away from your old sinful nature and be a partaker of the divine nature of Christ. You need to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness on a daily basis so that you can keep your spiritual reservation intact in your heavenly home.  

Ezekiel 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. (KJV)  

You began a walk with the Lord on the path of life having forsaken a dead end trail of sin. It is of utmost importance that you keep on this path, and not fall away and return to the dead works of the past; the sin that was blotted out and removed. The Lord has cast our sins into the sea of forgetfulness; and for those that fall from grace and return to their old ways they too will find themselves forgotten and lost at sea also.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (KJV)

Don’t wait until it is too late to find out that your name is no longer in the heavenly register. Many begin their walk with the Lord and may have had good intentions, but somewhere along the line got sidetracked and erased. Instead of showing up for their daily role call assignment with the Lord, they were a no show in His realm; having left the Lord off their list they find themselves left off His also.

Colossians 2:13-14 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; (14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; (KJV)

One of the ordinances that is blotted out that kept mankind in bondage to sin was the old law. Christ is the end of the law to everyone that believes. Where I see so many stumble and fall away again, is that they begin in the Spirit but try to justify themselves with God in the flesh and its dead rituals, which the Lord said were blotted out and nailed to His cross. By the works of the law shall no flesh be justified; so simply put, if the old law and its dead works are blotted out then those that operate in that realm are subject to the same thing also. We are saved by grace through faith and not works; which definitely leaves no room for boasting. The sign of a good preacher is one that will teach the people what the Lord has done for them. And a false preacher will tell the people what they are doing for the Lord. The only work left for the true believer is to believe in the Son God sent with His message of salvation.

Galatians 2:16-18 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (17) But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. (18) For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. (KJV)

If you seek to gain access to the kingdom of God through works of the law you will find yourself in violation of Him, and forbidden access. If you try to build your foundation on ordinances that were blotted out, you will find yourself blotted out with them. So take the time today and make sure your name is still written in the book of life, and the only thing that is smeared out and erased is the sin. Make sure that when the Lord casts the sin into the depths of the sea you’re not still hanging onto it with a millstone tied around you.

God bless and have a prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord.
