The greatest Gift Ever Given
“ Keep a watch on yourself and “judge yourselves”, are you really in the faith? Are you really in the Spirit?” ”
“In this world we will have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) This highlights the reality, contrary to false prophets, false teaching, and false hopes, that we are not going to escape the judgments. Judgment will not pass over the household of faith but it will actually “begin at the household of professing believers”. (see 1 Peter 4:17) Keep a watch on yourself and "judge yourselves”, are you really in the faith? (1 Corinthians 11:31) Are you really in the Spirit? Who is going to do that for us except the Holy Spirit in each one of us, who will keep us like a compass on track in the Spirit following Yahshua (Jesus) . Listen to His words, this will convey the essence of His heart for us. It is written, “Judgment begins at the household of God.” Messiah emphatically stated, “to whom much is given, much will be required.” (1 Peter 4:17, Luke 12:48) Yahshua (Jesus) gave us everything we need for salvation and righteousness to live with Him eternally in Heaven. He gave His life and poured out His blood to cover our repentant sins. (See Matthew 26:28) He clothed us in His righteousness so that we could be seen as holy and welcomed into the presence and Kingdom of His Father. (See 2 Corinthian 5:21)
“ Yahveh the Father sent the “gift of the Holy Spirit” to dwell within us so that we would have “the same power that raised Yahshua (Jesus) from the dead living in us””
Yahshua (Jesus) purchased us to be a people of faith through His atoning blood, so that through this faith we would become “born again” spiritual “new creations; where old things have passed away; and behold, all things have become new.” (John 3:3, 2 Corinthians 5:17) Yahveh the Father sent the “gift of the Holy Spirit” to dwell within us so that we would have “the same power that raised Yahshua (Jesus) from the dead living in us.” (John 14:26, Romans 8:11) He gave us the faith and grace, to help us deny our flesh, overcome sin, and be “more than conquerors” so that we could learn “to live and have our being in the Spirit.” (Ephesians 4:4-7, Romans 8:37, Acts 17:28) “His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness,” to be ready and wise as His bride awaiting the midnight cry, 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.” (2 Peter 1:3, Matthew 25:6) The Holy Spirit is grooming the bride to be eagerly preparing and expectantly waiting for the resurrection of our bodies when the glorious shofar blast,“the trumpet of God,” sounds and we will “meet the Lord in the air.” (Philippians 3:20, Revelation 19:7, 1 Thessalonians 4:17)
We are at the end of the age, the Spirit of truth is reminding us of the greatest gift that was ever given, Messiah’s life sacrificed to redeem us from the wrath of God that is destined to come upon all unrepentant sinners and those who are under the rulership of the flesh and not the rulership of the Holy Spirit. (see Romans 5:9) In wisdom let us spend the last bit of our time getting everything in order to be completely prepared for the infinite joy and blessed hope of the New Heaven and the New Earth, where our beloved Yahshua dwells and we will be seated next to Him as His eternal bride ruling and reigning with Him forever. (Revelation 21:1,3) HalleluYah!
