God is Love!

It is a fearful thing to fall

feature like falling in and out of love Somethingthat comes and goes without consequenceSo You may be asking why I am publishingthis. The reason is quiet simple There arethousands of souls who have misinterpreted thispopular clause, God is love ... And there aremillions of people who perpetuate this out-of-contextdefinition of the caring, graceful and mercifulGodhead; without clarifying their statement. Inmy opinion, it is high time that someone challengedSatan on this score and exposed this subtlemisconception.God is a Spirit Who morphed Himself in acorporal, human body embracing gender.

I JOHN 4:7-8

7 Beloved, let us love one another:for love isofGod;

and every one that loveth is born of God,and knowethGod.

JOHN 4:24

24 God is aSpirit:and they that worship him must

worship him in spirit and in truth.

II JOHN 1:6

6 And this is love,that we walk after hiscommandments. This is the commandment, That, as

ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in

it.

JOHN 14:15

15 If ye love me,keep my commandments.

PROVERBS 3:11-1211 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD;

neither be weary of his correction:


5/38

12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth;even as a

father the son in whom he delighteth.

PROVERBS 23:13-14

13 Withhold not correction from the child:for if thoubeatest him with the rod, he shall not die.14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver

his soul from hell.

II TIMOTHY 3:16-17

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,and is

profitable for doctrine,for reproof,(Greek. elegchos- a proof, that by which a thing is proved or tested) for

correction,for instruction in righteousness:17 That the man of God may beperfect,throughly

furnished unto all good works.

GALATIANS 5:22-2322 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,

longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

JOHN 3:14-21

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,

even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish,but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only

begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him

should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn

the world; but that the world through him might besaved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he

that believeth not is condemned already, because he

hath not believed in the name of the only begotten

Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into

the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,because their deeds were evil.


8/38

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither

cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be

reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his

deeds may be made manifest, that they are wroughtin God.

II THESSALONIANS 2:1-4

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of

our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together

unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled,neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from

us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day

shall not come, except there come a falling away first,

and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that iscalled God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God

sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he

is God.

I CORINTHIANS 10:11-12

11 Now all these things happened unto them for

ensamples: and they are written for our admonition,upon whom the ends of the world are come.

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take

heed lest he fall.

It behoves us to understand thatour just, and loving God must treatus in exactly the same manner asHe did the Children of Israel ofthe first Exodus... with the sameblessings and the same judgements.

EXODUS 15:26


10/38

26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice

of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right

in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments,

and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these

diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon theEgyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

NUMBERS 14:26-3926 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,

saying,27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation,

which murmur against me? I have heard the

murmurings of the children of Israel, which they

murmur against me.

28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye

have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that

were numbered of you, according to your whole


11/38

number, from twenty years old and upward, which have

murmured against me,

30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning

which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb

the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,

them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which

ye have despised.

32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this

wilderness.

33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty

years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases bewasted in the wilderness.

34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the

land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear

your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my

breach of promise.

35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all thisevil congregation, that are gathered together against me:in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there

they shall die.

36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land,who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur

against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,

37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report uponthe land, died by the plague before the LORD.

38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of

Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search

the land, lived still.

39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of

Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

DEUTERONOMY 8:1-6

1 All the commandments which I command thee this

day shall ye observe to do,that ye may live,andmultiply,and go in and possess the landwhich the

LORD sware unto your fathers.

2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the

LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the

wilderness,to humble thee,andto prove thee,to

know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest

keep his commandments, or no.3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger,

and fed thee with manna,which thou knewest not,

neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee

know that man doth not live by bread only,but byevery word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the

LORD doth man live.4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy

foot swell, these forty years.


13/38

5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man

chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth

thee.6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the

LORD thy God,to walk in his ways,and to fear him.

HEBREWS 3:17-19

17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not

with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the

wilderness?

18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his

rest, but to them that believed not?19 So we see that they could not enter in because of

unbelief.

MATTHEW 5:17-4817 Think not that I am come to destroy the law,or the

prophets:I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.


14/38

18 For verily I say unto you,Till heaven and earth pass,

one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law,

till allbe fulfilled.19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least

commandments,and shall teach men so,he shall becalled the least in the kingdom of heaven:but

whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be

called great in the kingdom of heaven.20 For I say unto you,That except your righteousness

shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and

Pharisees,ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom

of heaven.21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,

Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be

in danger of the judgment:22 But I say unto you,That whosoever is angry with his

brother without a cause shall be in danger of the

judgment:and whosoever shall say to his brother,Raca, (Greek. Rhaka - empty, i.e. a senseless, emptyheaded man, a term of reproach used among the Jews in

the time of Christ)shall be in danger of the council:

but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger

of hell fire.23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there

rememberest that thy brother hath ought againstthee;

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way;

first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and

offer thy gift.

25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art

in the way with him; lest at any time the adversarydeliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to

the officer, and thou be cast into prison.


15/38

26 Verily I say unto thee,Thou shalt by no means come

out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,

Thou shalt not commit adultery:

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on awoman to lust after her hath committed adultery

with her already in his heart.

29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast

it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of

thy members should perish, and not that thy whole

body should be cast into hell.

30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and castit from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of

thy members should perish, and not that thy whole

body should be cast into hell.31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife,

let him give her a writing of divorcement:

32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put awayhis wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth

her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry

her that is divorced committeth adultery.

33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them

of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt

perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

34 But I say unto you,Swear not at all;neither byheaven; for it is God's throne:

35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by

Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou

canst not make one hair white or black.

37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.


16/38

38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an

eye, and a tooth for a tooth:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but

whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to

him the other also.40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take

away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with

him twain.

42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that

would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shaltlove thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them

that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and

pray for them which despitefully use you, and

persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which isin heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil

and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on

the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have

ye? do not even the publicans the same?47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more

than others? do not even the publicans so?48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is

in heaven is perfect.

II CORINTHIANS 11:3

3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled

Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should becorrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

EPHESIANS

EPHESIANS 1:1-321 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,

to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful

in Christ Jesus:

2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father,

and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritualblessings in heavenly places in Christ:


18/38

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the

foundation of the world, that we should be holy and

without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of

children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to thegood pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he

hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, theforgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his

grace;

8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom

and prudence;

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,

according to his good pleasure which he hathpurposed in himself:


19/38

10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he

might gather together in one all things in Christ, both

which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in

him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, beingpredestinated according to the purpose of him who

worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first

trusted in Christ.

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word

of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also

after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holySpirit of promise,

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the

redemption of the purchased possession, unto the

praise of his glory.

15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the

Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of

you in my prayers;

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of

glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and

revelation in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened;

that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, andwhat the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the

saints,

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to

us-ward who believe, according to the working of his

mighty power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him fromthe dead, and set him at his own right hand in the

heavenly places,


20/38

21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and

dominion, and every name that is named, not only in

this world, but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him

to be the head over all things to the church,23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in

all.

EPHESIANS 2:1-22

1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead intrespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the

course of this world, according to the prince of the

power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the

children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation intimes past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the


21/38

desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by

nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love

wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened ustogether with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit

together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding

riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through

Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that notof yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus

unto good works, which God hath before ordained

that we should walk in them.

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time pastGentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision

by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh

made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens

from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from

the covenants of promise, having no hope, and

without God in the world:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far

off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and

hath broken down the middle wall of partition

between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the lawof commandments contained in ordinances; for to


22/38

make in himself of twain one new man, so making

peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one

body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 And came and preached peace to you which wereafar off, and to them that were nigh.

18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit

unto the Father.

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and

foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of

the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles andprophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner

stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together

groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together for an

habitation of God through the Spirit.


23/38

EPHESIANS 3:1-21

1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ

for you Gentiles,2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of

God which is given me to you-ward:

3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the

mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my

knowledge in the mystery of Christ )

5 Which in other ages was not made known unto thesons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy

apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the

same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by

the gospel:

7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the giftof the grace of God given unto me by the effectual

working of his power.


24/38

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is

this grace given, that I should preach among the

Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the

mystery, which from the beginning of the world hathbeen hid in God, who created all things by Jesus

Christ:

10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and

powers in heavenly places might be known by the

church the manifold wisdom of God,

11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed

in Christ Jesus our Lord:12 In whom we have boldness and access with

confidence by the faith of him.

13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my

tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of

our Lord Jesus Christ,15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is

named,

16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of

his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit

in the inner man;

17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that

ye, being rooted and grounded in love,18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the

breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth

knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness

of God.

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantlyabove all that we ask or think, according to the power

that worketh in us,


25/38

21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus

throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

EPHESIANS 4:1-32

1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech youthat ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are

called,

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with

longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the

bond of peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye arecalled in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and

through all, and in you all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to

the measure of the gift of Christ.8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he

led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also

descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up

far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; andsome, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the

ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the

knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,

unto the measure of the stature of the fulness ofChrist:


26/38

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;

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into himin all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and

compacted by that which every joint supplieth,

according to the effectual working in the measure of

every part, maketh increase of the body unto the

edifying of itself in love.

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that yehenceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the

vanity of their mind,

18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated

from the life of God through the ignorance that is in

them, because of the blindness of their heart:

19 Who being past feeling have given themselves overunto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with

greediness.

20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught

by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation

the old man, which is corrupt according to thedeceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is

created in righteousness and true holiness.

25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth

with his neighbour: for we are members one ofanother.


27/38

26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down

upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.

28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him

labour, working with his hands the thing which isgood, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your

mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying,

that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are

sealed unto the day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, andclamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you,

with all malice:

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,

forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake

hath forgiven you.


28/38

EPHESIANS 5:1-33

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and

hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice

to God for a sweetsmelling savour.3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or

covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as

becometh saints;

4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting,

which are not convenient: but rather giving of

thanks.

5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor uncleanperson, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath

any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because

of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the

children of disobedience.

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light

in the Lord: walk as children of light:

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and

righteousness and truth;)

10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of

darkness, but rather reprove them.12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which

are done of them in secret.

13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by

the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and

arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but

as wise,


29/38

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what

the will of the Lord is.

18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but

be filled with the Spirit;19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and

spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your

heart to the Lord;

20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the

Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of

God.22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as

unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as

Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour

of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so letthe wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved

the church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the

washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church,

not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; butthat it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.

He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but

nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the

church:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of

his bones.


30/38

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and

mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they

two shall be one flesh.

32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning

Christ and the church.33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love

his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she

reverence her husband.

EPHESIANS 6:1-24

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this isright.

2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first

commandment with promise;)

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live

long on the earth.

4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath:but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of

the Lord.


31/38

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters

according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in

singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the

servants of Christ, doing the will of God from theheart;

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not

to men:

8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth,

the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be

bond or free.

9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them,forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master

also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons

with him.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in

the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be ableto stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but

against principalities, against powers, against the

rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual

wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,

that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, andhaving done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with

truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel

of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith yeshall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the

wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of

the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in

the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all

perseverance and supplication for all saints;19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me,

that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the

mystery of the gospel,

20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein

I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do,

Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister inthe Lord, shall make known to you all things:

22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose,

that ye might know our affairs, and that he might

comfort your hearts.

23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from

God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus

Christ in sincerity. Amen.

MATTHEW 4:4

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not

live by bread alone, but by every word that

proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

II JOHN 1:9-11

9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the

doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in

the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the

Son.


33/38

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this

doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid

him God speed:

11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his

evil deeds.

GALATIANS 1:6-10

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him

that called you into the grace of Christ unto another

gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble

you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any

other gospel unto you than that which we have

preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man

preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have

received, let him be accursed.10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek

to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not

be the servant of Christ.

II PETER 1:19-21

19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy;

whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto alight that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn,

and the day star arise in your hearts:

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture

is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of

man: but holy men of God spake as they were movedby the Holy Ghost.


34/38

REVELATION 22:18-19

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words

of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add

unto these things, God shall add unto him the

plagues that are written in this book:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of

the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his

part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city,

and from the things which are written in this book.

[email protected] reading the following text, keep in mind to whom

Paul was writing... He was addressing the converted

Gentile Christians of the church at Antioch in Galatia...

not Jews who followed the Mosaic Law. These were

converts from gentile paganism who were being miss-

instructed into believing that they had to uphold theJewish faith also; and specifically, (among other

teachings) the need to be circumcised.

Paul offers explanation and correction regarding the

understanding of the promise of God made unto Abram

regarding the seed. He also explains the unity of the

bodyof Christ, the spiritual descendants of the seed.

GALATIANS 3:16-29

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises

made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as

of one, AND TO THY SEED, WHICH IS CHRIST.

17 And this I say, that the covenant, that wasconfirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which

was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot

disannul, that it should make the promise of none

effect.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of

promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was addedbecause of transgressions, till the seed should come

to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained

by angels in the hand of a mediator.

20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is

one.

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God

forbid: for if there had been a law given which couldhave given life, verily righteousness should have

been by the law.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that

the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given

to them that believe.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law,shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be

revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us

unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under

a schoolmaster.

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in ChristJesus.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into

Christ have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither

bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for

ye are all one in Christ Jesus.29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed,

and heirs according to the promise.

It is my hope that this document has served to clarify the dogma that is taught, in an out-of-

context-waythat God is loveperiod; and that a Christian is at liberty to live in an ungodly

manner because God is loveand in that presumption, He is a fuddy-duddytype of liberal

Father who has an abundance of grace specifically set aside to accommodate the professing

Christiansiniquity, his sin, (which is unbelief and the consequential manifestations of the

resulting behaviour, which is the unrighteousness that is a derivative of said unbelief) and his

worldliness, and corruption.

There is going to be great disappointment when Jesus returns to take His bride out of this carnal

world just prior to its purging. The souls that are left will pay with their own blood having

wiped their feet on the Blood of the Lamb when they had their chance to regenerate their lives

by the power of the Holy Spirit Who was in attendance... Remember the promises that the

Lord gave us IN LOVE?I.E. Ask anything in My Names and the Father will give it to you by

the Holy Spirit Whom He promised to send to you, to lead and guide you unto all truth and to

show you things to come, and also to seal your soul, (Being placed IN CHRIST) unto the day of

your redemption. Be not deceived, the New Birthis not, (but is different to) the sealing of the

soul by the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Let me explain the difference between the two events...

If a man sets on the thought of "just justification is all you have to have," he's wrong, wrong.

He's got to be wrong. And then if the church who believes like the many of the Pentecostals, that

the Holy Ghost is it, "that's all, just repent and get the Holy Ghost," that's still wrong, because

you've got to get sanctification in there to cleanse it before the Holy Ghost comes in. If you don't,

you leave out the Blood. See? And the new Birth, as people claims that the baptism of the Holy

Ghost is the new Birth. Now, that's wrong. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is different from the

new Birth. The new Birth is when you're born again. But the Holy Ghost is when power comes

into that Birth for service. That's exactly right. See? The Holy Ghost is... Yourebaptized into

the Holy Ghost.

The new Birth, you have the new Birth by being believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. See? By

having faith and accepting Him as your Saviour, that's Birth, see, because you've passed from

death unto Life. Now, if you want to back that up, take Saint John 5:24, "He that heareth My

Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, has everlasting Life." See, he's got Life because he

believes. And that same group had to go to Pentecost to be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Exact.

Holy Ghost is power for service. So when someone talks about youve got to be born again, and

applying that to the Holy Ghost, many of the Methodists and so forth are wrong there. It cannot

be correct. It just won't cope through the Scripture here. Weve got to take it the way the

Scripture's got it placed. See? And the Holy Spirit is a... "You shall receive the new Birth afterthis"? What? No. "You shall receive power," Acts 1:8, "after this the Holy Ghost is come upon

you." See? They had already believed unto Eternal Life, and so forth, but they had to have the

Holy Ghost for power. "You shall be witnesses unto Me after the Holy Ghost is come upon you,"

because the Holy Ghost is a witness of the resurrection, showing that you have become an adult

in Christ.

Returning to the concept of God being love... Consider the following scriptures...

JOHN 4:24 GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I JOHN 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God;FOR GOD IS LOVE.

II PETER 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a

thousand years, and a thousand years as one day .


37/38

II PETER 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is

longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to

repentance.

II PETER 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens

shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also

and the works that are therein shall be burned up.II PETER 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought

ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

II PETER 3:12 Looking forandhasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens

being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

II PETER 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth,

wherein dwelleth righteousness.II PETER 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be

found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.II PETER 3:15 & 16 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our

beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;As

also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be

understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other

scriptures, unto their own destruction.II PETER 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also,

being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.II PETER 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

I JOHN 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be

called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.I JOHN 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:

but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.I JOHN 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

I JOHN 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression ofthe law.I JOHN 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

I JOHN 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not:whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither

known him.I JOHN 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even

as he is righteous.I JOHN 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.For

this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.I JOHN 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;for his seed remaineth in him:and

he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

I JOHN 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest,and the children of the devil:whosoeverdoeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.I JOHN 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one

another.

I JOHN 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one,and slew his brother.And wherefore slew

he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.I JOHN 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

I JOHN 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.

He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.I JOHN 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer:and ye know that no murderer hath

eternal life abiding in him.

I JOHN 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and weought to lay down our lives for the brethren.I JOHN 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up

his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?


38/38

I JOHN 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue;but in deed and in

truth.I JOHN 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before

him.I JOHN 3:20 For if our heart condemn us,God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

I JOHN 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

I JOHN 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments,

and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

I JOHN 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus

Christ, and love one another,as he gave us commandment.

I JOHN 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby

we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

they say god is love - is he?
