I
would like to take this time to give thanks for all the wonderful
blessings we have received from the Lord of Glory, the Lord Jesus Christ in
2015.
As we
enter this New Year 2016, I pray that we as Christians might once again become a
mighty force in this world, to win the lost and dying to the Lord Jesus!
I thought it would be
appropriate as we begin this New Year to look at all the places that the
Lord Jesus, speaking though our Apostle (Paul), used the word new when speaking
to the Body of Christ.
What I found, the word new is
used in 11 verses in the Pauline epistles, and are a great summary of becoming
a Christian, living the Christian life, serving as ministers of the Lord Jesus, as
well as remembering the Lord Jesus and what he did for us.
Jesus through the Apostle Paul
says that we “put on the new man”, that we
become “a new creature in Christ”, and that “all things become new”.
The Apostle Paul continues that we “should walk in newness of life” and as such “we should serve in newness of spirit”, because he “hath made us able ministers of the new testament”!
To finalize we are to remember
the Lord Jesus, and what he has done for us, every time we partake of the Lord’s
Supper we should remember him who died for us, “this
is my body, which is broken for you: this do
in remembrance of me. This cup is the new testament in my blood:
this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.”
I have included the 11 verses
and recommend that you go to each epistle and read the verses to get the full
context of each passage. This will greatly help you in becoming the best Christian
minister of Jesus that you can be.
Rom.6 [4] Therefore we are
buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from
the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness
of life.
Rom.7 [6] But now we are
delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should
serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
1Cor.5 [7] Purge out
therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are
unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
1Cor.11 [23] For I have
received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord
Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: [24] And when he had
given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is
broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. [25] After the same
manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new
testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance
of me.
2Cor.3 [6] Who also hath
made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the
spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
2Cor.5 [17] Therefore if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
Gal.6 [15] For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth
anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Eph.2 [15] Having
abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in
ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making
peace;
Eph.4 [24] And that ye put on the new man,
which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Col.2 [16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat,
or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the
sabbath days:
Col.3 [10] And have put on the new man,
which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
The
Lord has brought many new people into our lives in 2015, all younger than myself and Theresa,
and has allowed us to minister and share with them Paul’s message for the Body
of Christ, as given to him by the Lord Jesus.
If you
are new to this website, you should know it is dedicated to the study of God’s
Holy Word rightly divided, and “the preaching of
Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret
since the world began,”
as given to the Apostle Paul.
Romans 16 [24] The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. [25] Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my
gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of
the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, [26] But now is made manifest, and by
the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting
God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: [27] To God only wise, be glory through
Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
This website
is not affiliated with any particular denomination, and only seeks to help young
Christians, and mature Christians alike, to be edified, equipped to be soul
winners, and to stand against the wiles of Satan.
2Tim.3
[14] But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and
hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; [15]
And that from a child thou
hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect,
throughly furnished unto all good works.
I am
glad and thankful that the Lord Jesus has provided us a Bible (KJV) in the English language that is
without error. My trust in the Authorized Versions accuracy has only grown over the years of study, which has greatly helped me in my ability to
witness for him, and share his holy word with believers, as well as the lost.
As
Paul told Timothy to continue, I encourage all my Christian friends to continue
in the study of God’s word. I encourage you not to be discouraged when
oppression comes, or if you loose friends over your stand for the Lord Jesus,
stand strong and keep the faith.
Philippians
[4] Rejoice in the Lord
alway: and again I say, Rejoice. [5] Let your moderation be known unto
all men. The Lord is at
hand. [6] Be careful
for nothing; but in every
thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. [7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Just a
quick update on the website that so many of you pray for and help us with. As
we approach being online six months we are fast approaching 5000 visits.
I just stand amazed at the wonderful way that the Lord Jesus has worked in our lives, I give him thanks for my family, and friends daily.
We continue to add to our reach into
other lands, we are now up to 42 countries.
As we
approach this new year we are looking at new ways to get the word out, please
continue your prayers for us.
Also, if you would like to become a fellow worker with us please email us.
We are
more dedicated than ever to help people understand Pauline doctrine for the
body of Christ, and to help young Christians grow and be built up in their
faith, and to equip them to win others to the Lord Jesus.
Hopefully this study and the future
studies will provoke you to become a more dedicated, and consecrated Christian,
who will study and become a strong witness for the Lord Jesus in this upcoming
year.
I encourage you to not just mention
that Jesus was born but most of all to share with your friends, loved ones, and anyone else
that you come into contact with that, Jesus died for their sins, was buried, and
rose again and in Jesus they can have eternal life.
Romans
10 [8] But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy
heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
The Bible is an easy book to
understand when you just read, believe it, and not try and make it say things
it doesn’t say.
As far as spiritual discernment, when you
know where to get your doctrine from, you will no longer be a confused
Christian, or an easy target by the sleight of men to deceive you.
The words of our Apostle Paul, the Apostle
to the Gentiles!
2Tim.2 [15] Study to shew thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
Come join with us as we study God’s Holy Word!
Remember most unsound Bible Doctrine, is
sound Bible Doctrine misapplied to the wrong time period, or
wrong group of people.
