Good day. Today's video Image and Likeness is on the topic of: In the beginning God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness (Genesis 1:26-47). God gave Adam and Eve all the trees in the garden to partake of for food except for the tree of knowledge of good and evil which he commanded them not to eat of the fruit of that tree, or they would surely die; and when Eve was deceived of the devil seeing that the fruit was good for food and pleasant unto the eye took of it and did eat, then gave it unto Adam and he too ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and their eyes were opened and they were found naked (Genesis 3:1-7); and sin entered into the world and the image of God in mankind was lost to sin. But God knowing the end from the beginning made a way or plan of reconciliation for mankind before the foundation of the world. John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (KJV) John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. (KJV) John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (KJV) Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, (KJV) 2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (KJV) God sending his own Son, Christ (the Word), in the likeness of sinful flesh, Jesus of Nazareth, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh (Romans 8:3), that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2Corinthians 5:16-21); that we might have the image of God restored in us which was lost to sin in our own lives as we followed the god of this world in our ignorance before we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. It is God who works in us having sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts crying Father, Father, both to will and to do of his good pleasure in restoring his image within us as he did in Jesus of Nazareth. God made this same Jesus who was crucified both Lord and Christ. Through the obedience, sacrifice, and resurrection of Jesus Christ we are given the Spirit of Christ; an example, a mediator, the way, the truth, and the life in the Spirit to overcome sin in our life, bringing forth restoration of the image of God within us as well. Brethren, we have this treasure in earthen vessels, it is Christ in us the hope of glory. 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (KJV) He is our only hope of the restoration of the image of God within us. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video God Cannot Lie is on the topic of: God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent. Many today say that Jesus was God and yet God said he sent his Son; so, either God is lying, or man is. God that cannot lie, acknowledged that he had a Son in whom he was well pleased. And Jesus Christ himself acknowledged that he had a Father, and after his resurrection spoke unto us saying “I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God” John 20:17. Jesus Christ was tempted in every manner as we are and yet he sinned not; he only spoke those things that he heard the Father speak, so he too did not lie and it would have been sin for him to lie. The witness of God is greater than the witness of men and the record that God gave of his Son is true and he has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1John 5:9-13); and yet many are calling God a liar by denying his Son whom he sent. They are intruding into those things which they have not seen, vainly puffed up by their fleshly minds; they have not so learned Christ. Christ is the Word of God whom God sent in the likeness of sinful flesh (Jesus of Nazareth) to condemn sin in the flesh that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (Romans 8:3, 2Corinthians 5:17-21). Romans 3:3-4 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. (KJV) So, brethren, who are you going to believe, God or men? Let the Holy Spirit of God that you have been baptized with when you accepted God’s Son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour (Galatians 4:4-6) guide you into all truth; it is the truth that will make you free, and if the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed (John 8:36-37). Christ the Son of the living God; God made this same Jesus who was crucified both Lord and Christ; it is Christ in you the hope of glory. Reference: Matthew 3:11, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16 – baptized with the Holy Spirit; John 16:7, John 16:13, John 15:26, 1John 2:27 – who will guide you into all truth and is no lie. Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; (KJV) 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. (KJV) God who cannot lie; let God be true and every man a liar! Let us be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video The Right Way is on the topic of: There is only one right way or path that leads unto eternal life. Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; and no man comes unto the Father (God) but by me” (John 14:6). If any man tries to enter into the kingdom of heaven any other way than by Jesus Christ, they are a thief and a robber and will not be allowed to enter in. It is a strait and narrow path that leads unto life, and few be there that find it (Matthew 7:14) because it is spiritually revealed by the Spirit of God to those who seek in spirit and in truth with a sincere heart, with pure motives. All scripture is given (freely you received, freely give); it is the inspired word of God (2Timothy 3:16-17), and we are encouraged to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness so that the eyes of our understanding is able to be enlightened to the truth of the gospel of Christ, being instructed by God through Christ who is our strength, that our faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God (1Corinthians 1:24), and it is profitable for us to continue to walk in the right way, the way of righteousness (1Corinthians 1:26-31 (v30)). Proverbs 8:20-21 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. (KJV) There are many who are on the broad path that leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13); there are those who choose to not to know God nor his Son Jesus Christ; and there are those who profess to know God but in works they deny him; teaching for doctrines the commandments of men and hold to the traditions of men (Mark 7:6-9); and many are blindly following. God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; they have gone the way of what seems right in their own eyes, their own carnal understanding, walking in their own righteousness, and reject the truth when it is presented to them; they are blinded by the god of this world. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. (KJV) Proverbs 16:2-3 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. (KJV) 2 Peter 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. (KJV) The path of the just (righteous, in right standing) is as the shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1Timothy 2:5). The path can only shine brighter as you come to the knowledge of Christ which enlightens the way; because without Christ we can do nothing; without the Spirit of Christ, we are none of his (God’s); without Christ our righteousness is as filthy rags. Isaiah 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. (KJV) Proverbs 12:28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. (KJV) Those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14), and they will know the way, the truth, and partake of the life, an abundant life, that our Father promised before the world began, and this life is in his Son. Do you know the right way, do you know the Son? If not, then ask God our Father through his Son Jesus Christ and it shall be given you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. It is our Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom; behold the kingdom of God is within you and it is the right way. God bless and keep the faith. Proverbs 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Good day. Today's video A Mighty God is on the topic of: Psalm 50:1 The mighty (strength, power, Almighty) God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. (KJV) We have a mighty God who has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; and has provided the deliverance from this present evil world through his Son Christ Jesus; but it is up to each of us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling that we may stand perfect and complete in all his will, and that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:19-21). Remember, our Lord Jesus Christ came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly (John 10:10); it is your choice if you want a more abundant life that is only in him. The witness of God is greater than that of men; and this is the witness that he has given to us which he has testified of his Son: He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made him a liar, because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1John 5:9-11). John 17:1-3 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (KJV) Brethren, many are called, but few are chosen because few choose to know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life (1John 5:12). So, our might (may be able) leads to uncertainty, possibly unto eternal death; His might (strength, ability, power) leads to eternal life, and this life is in his Son. It’s up to you to know. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video It's All Good is on the topic of: Everyone lies; It's all good in Christ when we accept and partake of all things that we have been given access too by and through Jesus Christ. Our Father through his Son has provided everything needed for our salvation. When you were born again you received the measure or fullness of the gift of Christ; nothing was left out, it was a complete anointing of the Holy Spirit given in earnest until our adoption into the family of God is finalized at the judgement seat of Christ. Do know this brethren, that all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). As well as that in Christ dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10). So, beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ (Colossians 2:8). For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end (Hebrews 3:14). So, to all that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, it's all good. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video Everyone Lies is on the topic of: Everyone lies; every man is a liar until they come into agreement with God. And there is only one way of coming into agreement with God, and that is by his Son Jesus Christ and being a witness unto the truth that is in Jesus, and is also in you, Christ; the greater witness, the only way you are justified in his sight, and the only way you are justified in your sayings. The witness of God is greater than that of men and his witness is true. 1John 2:27 Romans 3:3-4 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. (KJV) 1 John 5:7-12 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. (KJV) Deuteronomy 32:1-5 Witness means testimony, a good report, or evidence. From whom do you get your evidence, God or men? What are you bearing witness to, what is your testimony; that of truth given unto you through the leading of the Holy Spirit of God, or that of men (which until you seek the evidence from God, they should be considered a liar)? Who are you giving testimony of, whether by word or by deed: Christ in you the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27), the greater witness in you (1John 2:20 1John 2:27), or men/women in pulpits who only testify of a man named Jesus of Nazareth, because they are unable to see beyond the veil of the flesh to see the truth that is in Jesus which allowed him to live a life without sin, and always do those things that pleased the Father, and kept him in agreement with God our Father? Remember God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent. Jesus was tempted in all manner as we are, yet he sinned not, he remained in agreement with God by Christ in him, he let God be true but man a liar. Brethren, don't let anyone but God, through his Son Jesus Christ, dictate salvation to you. Allow God's Spirit to bear witness with your spirit that you are in agreement with him, that you are justified in his sight, that you are justified in your sayings, that you are one of his sons or daughters. Remember and hold fast to this truth, you have a greater witness in you, which is what you need to be giving testimony of; that is where you need to find your evidence of truth; that is where you need to be speaking from in order to be justified in your sayings, that is where you will have life and life more abundantly, eternal life. Greater is he (Christ) that is in you (behold the kingdom of God is within you), than he that is in the world. God bless and keep the faith. 1 John 4:1-6 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Good day. Today's video Who Knows? is on the topic of: Who knows? In the previous study (They Knew) we saw who opposed the Lord Jesus Christ when he walked this earth, the chief priests, scribes, the religious leaders, they denied that Jesus was the Christ and delivered him to be crucified because of envy; and as we also saw the devils knew he was the Christ, so why didn’t they? Today, we see the same thing spiritually, those who oppose the Lord, those who deny Christ the Son of the living God; they know Jesus, but they don’t know the truth that is in him; they have a form of godliness but deny the power (1 Corinthians 1:24) thereof: from such turn away (2 Timothy 3:5). Jesus asked the disciples in Matthew 16:13-20 "Who do men say that I the Son of man am?" and they gave several answers; then he asked them "But who say you that I am?" and Peter answered "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God"; and Jesus responded "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven and upon this rock (Christ; 1Corinthians 10:4) I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." Without the revelation of the Son, you will not know the Father. Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (KJV) It is the truth that will make you free and keep you free indeed (reality). Many know Jesus the man after the flesh, few know Jesus the Christ after the Spirit of Christ within them; those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God. Who knows Christ and who they are in him? It is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. It is given, a free gift wrapped up in grace and in truth and revealed to those who seek to know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. Paul wrote, in Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (KJV) There are many false prophets, workers of iniquity, antichrists, who deny Christ, the Son of the living God, who is the power of God and the wisdom of God; and with damnable heresies and doctrines they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame and teach others likewise; they are blind leaders, blindly leading the blind (those who have NOT sought to know Christ and who they are in Him), down the same path of destruction by denying the Son whom God sent. 1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (KJV) 1 John 2:18-23 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (KJV) This does not have to be so for you. When you were born again you were baptized with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Just as Jesus of Nazareth, you were given the measure (fullness) of faith; you were given the Spirit without measure; your cup runs over with the fullness of the gift of Christ in you the hope of glory; you have the mind of Christ; so now this is the time to seek to know the Son and the Father allowing the Spirit to lead and guide you into all truth so that you can stand before the judgement seat of Christ knowing them, and as well they knowing you. And who does the spirit of antichrist come against? Those who know Christ (the Son of the living God) and who they are in him. Who knows? Hopefully you will be able to answer this question for yourself and be able to say, "I do". For it is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, as the truth is in Jesus. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video They Knew is on the topic of: They knew who Jesus of Nazareth was, the Christ, the Son of God; that is the devils knew, and they trembled (Luke 4:40-41, Mark 1:21-25, Mark 3:11-12, Matthew 8:28-29). Yet the religious leaders of that time (the chief priest, scribes, and pharisees) denied that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, the Son of God and they crucified the Lord of glory for envy. They were more concerned about the day of the week on which the Lord healed the people (the blind, the sick, the lame, those bound up by unclean spirit(s)) being the sabbath, the outward circumstances, that they could not see who was right in front of them. They were more concerned about keeping their place of power or prominence with the people and with the Romans (John 11:48), that they feared, and then they instilled fear into the people that if they confessed that Jesus was the Christ that they would put them out of the synagogue (John 9:22). They even asked him directly if he was the Christ, and he answered "I am", but they closed their ears to the truth that was in Jesus, and said the he was a blasphemer of God, because he did not fit into their idea or thoughts of who the Messiah should be, or where he came from, or what his birth circumstances were in their carnal judgement. These were the spiritual leaders of that time, and they did not know, their heart was hardened, and they chose not to see, because they were blinded by envy (Matthew 27:18, Mark 15:10). Today the same thing is happening in the Church; many are crucifying the Son of God afresh, denying Christ, with the traditions and doctrines of men, and many for filthy lucre (money) sake, for the accolades of men, or for being ignorant of the truth that is in Jesus. Many are taught and know Jesus the man; many are taught and say that Jesus was God which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit because of unbelief that God sent his Son, Christ, in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Many don't know Christ the Son of God who was in Jesus, and who is also in you (Colossians 1:27). The Lord said, "whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:33). You can't blame men for your ignorance of the Son of God when you stand before the Lord, because you are to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, not relying on someone else to do the work for you and you just show up once, maybe twice a week to hear their version of what the scriptures say; it is given unto you, personally, to know they mystery of the kingdom of God. Many should know but don't know Christ, because they are letting these someone else’s (men through books, TV, CD's, etc.) teach them, when they should be allowing the Holy Spirit to lead them into all truth as they study the scriptures (the Bible). 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (KJV) Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God; all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him; and the mystery of the gospel is Christ in you the hope of glory: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. They knew, we know having been taught by the Holy Spirit and led into all truth, do you know? We pray that you too will rightly divide the word of truth, rightly divide what you hear from others by going to our Father (God) seeking his wisdom and understanding by the Holy Spirit and come to the knowledge of the truth that is in Jesus. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Facts of Life is on the topic of: Two immutable (fixed, unchangeable, unalterable) facts of eternal life; you need to know the Father and the Son whom he sent. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life; and no man comes unto the Father but by him; and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Do you know the Son, and the Father? It is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; behold the kingdom of God is within you; Christ in you the hope of glory. It is your Father in heaven that is leading and guiding you and working in you. The importance of understanding these two unchangeable, unalterable, fixed facts that you cannot know the Father unless you know the Son, and once you know the Son, the Son can reveal the Father unto you is vital to eternal life. The revelation of Christ, knowing who the Son of the living God is, allows you to come unto the Father and come to know the Father. Without these two immutable things working in you and on your behalf, there is no life. John 8:15-19 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. (KJV) Matthew 11:25-27 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (KJV) John 17:1-3 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (KJV) 1 John 5:9-13 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Today's video The Answer is on the topic of: Follow-up of the last study "You Should 2024-12-21". Now that you should know the name above every name given among men by whom you must be saved, Jesus Christ, and this being the name that you should be confessing before God and men, have you asked God our Father in heaven to reveal his Son unto you that you know who his Son is, so that you are ready to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you (1Peter 3:15)? Do you know the reason of the hope that is within you? What answer will you give? Who is your hope? Your answer should include Christ, the Son of the living God. For it is Christ in you the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:24 ...Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (KJV) The revelation of Christ will take you beyond the veil of the flesh (Jesus), enlightening the eyes of your understanding too see Christ the Son of God and who you are in him. It is the Father who reveals the Son, and the Son who reveals the Father, that you may know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. If you don't have a working knowledge of who Christ is (the Son of God) and who you are in Christ, you won't know the Father. With the revelation of the mystery of the gospel, Christ in you the hope of glory, you will be able to given an answer by the leading of the Holy Spirit; not a fleshly answer of the son born, Jesus of Nazareth the man, but a spiritual answer to a spiritual question of the son given, Christ the Son of the living God (Isaiah 9:6 unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given). Are you ready to give the answer? If not, get ready and stay ready.
