First we consider the making of a Christian who is the Father’s desire,
and the Sons’ making.
The steps of the Israelite and Gentile Christian:
1. Desires for forgiveness.
2a.The Israelite returns/ repents from forsaking his God,
who is the incarnated Jesus.
2b.The Gentile, as predicted, comes to Jesus, the Israelite God, for the first time.
3. Baptizes calling on Jesus, for forgiveness
and for the manifold help
and graciousness from GOD >> (remember the secret part of effective baptism)
Jesus forgives and gives the lovely, invaluable, Gift of the Holy Spirit.
After baptism comes the following of the life time Christian Commandment.
1 Tim.1
[5] Now the end of the (Christian) Commandment is:
(1) Unfeigned faith >> (in the Son who created us and the Father who raised him from the dead)
(2) Charity, (love and good deeds to all), out of a pure (New) heart
and of a (Jesus’ blood washed) good conscience
[6] from which (Christian commandment) some (people) having swerved ,
have turned aside to vain (Spiritless) jangling
[7] Desiring to be teachers of the Moses) law;
understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
A reminder of GOD’s directive, to his dear obedient children,
starting with the Apostles:
Luke.9…At the Transfiguration.
[30] and, behold, there talked with Jesus two men,
who were Moses (not dead) and Elias:
[31] who appeared in glory, and spoke about his decease/ death (on the cross)
that he would accomplish (allow) at Jerusalem.
[32] But Peter and they who were with Jesus were heavy with sleep.
When they were awoke,
they saw his glory>> (his Majesty as the Son of the greatest king)
and the two men who stood with him.
[33] and it came to pass, as Moses and Elias departed from Jesus
Peter said to Jesus:
Master, it is good for us to be here
and let us make three tabernacles (tents);
one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias:
not knowing what he said.
[34] While Peter spoke, a cloud came and overshadowed them
and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
[35] and a voice came out of the cloud directing:
This is my beloved Son:
Hear him >> (the Moses law has served its purpose).
We are in stage #2, the Spiritual man.
1 Cor.15
[46] However, the (creation) that is Spiritual (man) was not first
but the one that is Natural (man)
and afterward the creation that is Spiritual.
[47] The first man (Natural Adam) is of the earth, earthy
The second man (Spiritual) is the LORD (Jesus) from heaven.
GOD has directed us to obey his Son Jesus and not Moses anymore.
The Apostles called their old religion darkness.
GOD is good. Jesus is good. All of the children are made good by Jesus, our maker.
A little more:
Jesus >> shared his glory, (his importance and value to us), with the Apostles.
John.17
[22] and >> the glory (the importance and value) that you (GOD) gave to me
I have given to the Apostles,
that they may be one (united), even as we are one (united).
The Apostles are united with GOD and his beloved Son.
Dishonoring the Apostles is not overlooked
but is taken personally by GOD and Christ.
Luke.10
[16] He who hears/ obeys you (Apostles) hears me (Christ)
and he who despises you (Apostles) despises me
and he who despises me despises GOD (the great king and lawgiver)
who sent me.
John.15
[20] Remember the word that I (Jesus) said to you (Apostles):
The servant is not greater than his lord.
If the Israelites have persecuted me (their LORD and master)
then they will also persecute you.
If they have kept my Teachings,
then they will keep yours (the Apostles) also.
Jesus died for sins, resurrected, and returned to heaven
and spiritually was working with the Apostles.
The Apostles started to preached (circa 30 A.D.).
The compliant Israelites, (the children of the Prophets,
who were waiting for Jesus their God) obeyed.
Acts 2..Peter:
[36] Let the entire house/ nation of Israel (Israelites,) assuredly know:
that GOD has (previously) made that same Jesus, whom you have crucified,
both LORD, (the God of Israel) and (now GOD has sent him as) CHRIST.
[37] Now when the Israelites heard this,
they were pricked in their heart
and said to Peter and to the rest of the Apostles:
Men and brethren, what shall we do?
[38] Then Peter said to them:
Repent (return to our God = Jesus),
and be baptized every one of you << (without exception)
in (into/ calling on) the name of Jesus Christ for the pardon of your sins,
and you shall receive (from Jesus) the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
[39] For the promise (of GOD’s Spirit) is to you and to your children,
and to all who are afar off (in the Gentile countries),
even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
[40] With many other words Peter testified and exhorted (urged the Israelites) saying:
Save yourselves from this untoward, (GOD forsaking) generation.
[41] Then the Israelites who gladly received Peter’s
word (instruction) were >> baptized (immediately)
The same day were added, to the Apostles,
about three thousand (baptized) souls (converts).
[42] The converts continued steadfastly
in the Apostles' (their Teachers), Doctrine and in fellowship,
and in breaking of bread and in prayers.
[43] and fear came upon every soul (Israelite)
and many wonders and signs were done, (like by Jesus), by the (Holy) Apostles.
The Apostles’ Doctrine came from GOD.
They were taught it by Jesus and it is the unchangeable Word of GOD.
Anyone who changes the Word from GOD is in violation.
With the coming of Christ the Moses law had served its purpose, as Paul explained.
Gal.3
[23] Before faith (in Christ) came (from GOD)
We (Israelites) were kept under the Moses law.
We were shut up to the faith (in Christ) that,
after the (fulfillment of the) Moses law, would be revealed.
[24] Therefore the Moses law was our schoolmaster to bring/ direct us to Christ
so that we (Israelites) might be justified/ made righteous,
by faith (in Christ our maker).
[25] But after faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
[26] For you (converts) are all the children of GOD by faith in Christ Jesus.
[27] For as many of you
as have been baptized into Christ >> (These are already baptized.)
have put on (the personality of) Christ.
Jesus’ Doctrine of Grace supersedes Moses’ Doctrine of law.
Jesus Doctrine about GOD also supersedes Moses’ Doctrine about GOD.
Any teachings, in the O.T.
that promotes justice, love and good deeds to others, are still valid to Christians.
The following is the Christian law in 'one sentence',
after baptism calling on Jesus and receiving the Gift.
1 Tim.1
[5] Now the end, (the objective), of the (Christian) commandment is:
(1) Unfeigned faith >> (in the good Father and his beloved and good Son)
(2) Charity, (love and good deeds toward all), out of a pure (Jesus made) heart
and of a good (Jesus washed), conscience.
These Christians and their generations are the future citizens of the planet.
It is the will of GOD.
2 Pet.3
[13] Nevertheless we (Apostles and converts),
according to Jesus’ (the creator’s) promise,
look for New heavens and a New earth,
where righteous (Jesus made) people dwell.
and the Sons’ making.
