1 John 4:2
King James Version (KJV)
“Hereby know ye the Spirit (Manifestation of) of God (Elohim): Every spirit (manifestation) that confesseth (manifests) that Jesus Christ (YHshua Messiah) is come in the flesh is of God (Elohim)…
YHshua Messiah who would prove to offer those who would choose to follow his given example of obedience to the Father, salvation from the flesh: “Follow me and do as I, and you will do greater things” (paraphrasing).
The Father’s Grace, a message of salvation to a fallen man /woman, a child of the Creator Elohim YHWH, a message of choice: Will we be obedient to our flesh or His Will (Word)?
1) YHshua did not want to be put to death – saying,”Pass this cup from me if it be your Will Father” (paraphrasing) – A mirror image of what we would feel (the flesh) if faced with choosing physical death or life!!!!.
YHshua’s Choice (as so ours should be), the Father’s Grace (LOVE) fulfilled in an obedient child!!!!
2) YHshua fully accepts his Fathers Word (the prophecies) concerning his role of salvation to man – to show man what it means (what it takes) to be obedient to the Father. An ongoing message from Eden to man /woman, that the obedient (unblemished child of Elohim) gives himself freely to the worse death known to be given to man (hung to a tree): The lesson to us? That we may follow his example of not giving into the Flesh!!!! – THAT UNLIKE ADAM WE MAY ALSO CHOOSE TO BE THE OBEDIENT SON IN THE FACE OF THE FLESH. A FATHER’S GRACE THAT STARTS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND STEMS THROUGH THE SACRIFICES OF THE OBEDIENT PROPHET’S, MEN, AND WOMEN, CULMINATING WITH YHSHUA, AND YES, CONTINUED IN US WHO FOLLOW MESSIAH’S TRUTH, (YH’S) SALVATION – (YHSHUA), THE MANIFESTATION OF THE WORD OF ELOHIM, A REACHING OUT TO THE LOST…. A LOVING FATHER THAT WANT’S US TO SEE WE CAN ALL OVERCOME THE FLESH AND IN OBEDIENCE ACHIEVE ETERNAL SALVATION. HALLELUYH!!!!
