An Everlasting Gospel to Preach – The Formula for Christian Salvation, Renewing the Mind and Saving the Soul from death.
Jesus Christ is the only way – meaning, as His name with intention states, Jehovah (God in His relationship with His creation) preaching (Christ) His ideas: the only way to genuine peace and security, which are the only path into what is called the kingdom of God. This place is also, with intention and for definition, called heavenly Jerusalem, meaning, where all things are rightly understood and therefore willingly lived, which produces peace and security for all its inhabitants. It is also called Mount Zion, meaning it is where God rules and all the inhabitants have willing subordinated their ideas (and opinions) and all others to His (The First Commandment). This aspect again refers to the name Jerusalem, which is from Hebrew words meaning to FLOW from, speaking of God’s mind flowing into man by teaching (correction), which then becomes the foundation of (truth) intellect and actions, and results in PEACE (as a state of mind) in both individual and society. It is the Process of being born again.
The self-evidently apparent other aspect is we acknowledge that all human effort and ideas are the what hinders us from seeing (understanding) God. Therefore, God sent and sends His Spirit, formerly in His prophets, and lastly in His Son, who first declared God’s will and the Son makes it understandable (as if taking the waters (the word of God) and transforming them into wine – so it affects the change in our minds).
Believing in the shed blood of Jesus, is demonstrated for us as He willingly came to the world preaching and teaching these ideas, not for His own sake or saving, but for (all the people of) world. As we know, the cost was His life, which is understood in pattern and reality as His life (blood and water) flowing out of Him and flowing life into us.
What is imparted to those who receive Him, meaning receive Him as the anointed (Christ – authorized and empowered by God in Him), is first His Spirit, and then His mind. This is again a process, removing all the old misconception; the first being that God comes to destroy anyone. All His teaching and preaching is to end the ideas that are destroying men and the world, and to replace them with those that bring life (again to men and to the world). This is the Spirit of God that must be the first foundation of all understanding and the context in which all correction must be received.
The only things hiding these simple truths are men, the gods of this world, who have corrupted all discourse by untruth, and fouled the rivers of the world, from where flows all teaching and ideas into the sea (the masses). We have the world condition itself, not the material condition but the spiritual, in constant chaos and confusion, as the obvious evidence. If this condition is the evidence – then what has formed and fashioned the mind is without question the cause (the data in {programing} is the only possible cause of output).
Therefore, these men, the gods of this world (church and state), all their teaching, ideas, and opinions, are corrupt, meaning it has degenerated from truth into untruth. These are the cause of the world’s ills, and must therefore be taken out of the way before a person can recover their right mind and life. This last statement also contains the solution to all the world’s problems – teaching God‘s better ideas, which bring peace and health to men and societies and can be exported to any who will receive them.
Now, just because your current state of mind think it sees flaws in the above, your opinions at their foundation haven’t followed the above first steps. And you must believe (accept because it is true) God has it all figured out, and having faith in His Spirit “we know that all things work together for good to them that love God [The First Commandment], to them who are the called according to his purpose [to save them and the world].”
Hebrews 11: 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek [study and commune with] Him.
The word “please” above is translated from the Greek word euaresteo, a form of the word euarestos, meaning to fully agree. It tells of faith as our agreement with God, believing what He has promised (seeing as He sees) and in doing we are able first to understand the deeper meanings, and then see them as they are manifested as promised.
One of those promises is that if we love Him (The First Commandment) and keep His word, He would manifest Himself to us, and then be in us. This word I preaching to you, this gospel is the LORD manifesting Himself to you through His word, as He promised He would, in us, after He first comes to us in this way. Receiving this word as God speaking to you, as it is, is realizing you are in the presence of the LORD at His coming – coming to you specifically, wanting you to, inviting you to, receive Him and join him in His kingdom (wherein is life – which lasts an eternity).
John 14
19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.
20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas said unto him, not Iscariot, LORD, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him [we live in Him, and He in us].
24 He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter [the Paraclete], which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe.
The word gospel is translated from the Greek word euaggelion, from the same eu prefix we saw above meaning fully, and the word aggelos, meaning messenger, itself derived from the ago, meaning to lead or drive. It is telling of the full message of God that leads us into all truth; as we are told above, in verse 26, is the work of the Comforter, the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit of God.
The word aggelos is rendered both messenger and angel. Its use in euaggelion is telling us the gospel is the God’s message sent to us through natural combined with super-natural means of delivery. This idea is described in Hebrews 1, which defines the difference between the message and the messenger (the external), and receiving it into ourselves (the internal affect) which makes us sons (the children of God).
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [external to man]
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light [understanding – internal] of men.
5 And the light [understanding external –not yet received] shined in darkness [confusion]; and the darkness comprehended in not [because it remained external].
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness [the gospel] of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not [because it did not receive him].
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him [into themselves – into their minds], to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fullness [the full message] have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
In this context receive this understanding into yourselves and be born again with the mind of Christ in you.
Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness [understanding shed on others] of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins [cleansed us from our old minds], sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he brings in the first-begotten into the world, he says, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire [to ignite the light in others].
8 But unto the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed [with the oil that causes the light to shine – which is the power and authority to accomplish the mission God sends us on] you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation [and the foundational ideas] of the earth; and the heavens [the high place where the word of God is separated from the lies of man] are the works of your hands:
11 They [the works of man] shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies [these men who oppose God’s truth and obstruct understanding] your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Revelation [Apokalupsis – Apocalypse, the uncovering of what has been covered in darkness] 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads [written into their minds].
2 And I heard a voice from heaven [from this rightly divided word of God], as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder [the sound of the light – understanding]: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song [truth] before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed [received the price paid] from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled [corrupted] with women [by the unfaithful men {church and nation} who have strayed from God’s truth]; for they are virgins [have not had interaction with these unfaithful men]. These are they which follow the Lamb [the one who paid the price to redeem them] whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits [first to come to life] unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth [words] was found no guile [deception]: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel [aggelos] fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel [euaggelion] to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters [this word of God, where all can freely drink].
8 And there followed another angel [aggelos], saying, Babylon [confusion ended by sending the light – the gospel which brings understanding internally] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication [her straying away from God and listening to the advice (ideas and opinions) of corrupted men].
9 And the third angel [aggelos] followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image [what these men have created (their ideas and opinions)], and receive his mark [which is confusion] in his forehead [in their mind], or in his hand [or do the work of drawing to, or keeping others in, these men’s darkness],
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath [His truth poured out exposing the wicked ways] of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire [the result of their own ideas] and brimstone [theion – thinking they are like God] in the presence of the holy angels [aggelos], and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke [kapnos – adulterated intellect] of their torment ascended up [for all to see] for ever and ever: and they have no rest [no peace because they reject the only ideas that can create it] day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name [Babylon – confusion].
1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [sos – deliverer + sthenoo – who confirms with spiritual knowledge and power {with strength}] our brother,
2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth [wherein the wall {Hebrew word qurw} is built, which keeps the enemies out], to them that are sanctified [separated from the error of the wicked] in Christ Jesus, called to be saints [made pure – holy], with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our LORD, both theirs and ours:
3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the LORD Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
5 That in every thing you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 So that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming [who has now come] of our LORD Jesus Christ:
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end [deliver and confirm into receiving the end of our faith], that you may be blameless in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ.
9 God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our LORD.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel [euaggelizo]: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 For the preaching of the cross [the same as the blood defined above] is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews [and Christians – those who claim to be the true believers and thereby are called to suffer with the same cross] a stumbling-block [where they fall – fail], and unto the Greeks [those wallowing in the mire of their own ignorance and calling it knowledge] foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God [to change them and give them power and strength needed], and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence [because the glory in man is the presence of Jesus Christ, working His plan and will to save men and the world].
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the LORD.
1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.
10 But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who has known the mind of the LORD, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
