[QUOTE="SANTOSO, post: 75948538, member: 429277"] Dear one, Do you know that you are in bondage ? For this is what we have heard: and thus set free those who had been in bondage all their lives because of their fear of death.-Hebrews 2:15 CJB Dear one, because of your fear of death, you have been in bondage all your life. Can anyone help you ? This is what we have heard : For surely it is not angels that He helps, but He helps the offspring of Abraham. -Hebrews 2:16 So we know God helps the offspring of Abraham. Who then is the offspring of Abraham? This is what we have heard : Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many, but referring to one, "And to your offspring," who is Christ. -Galatians 3:16 So the promises of God were made to Abraham and to his offspring and the offspring of Abraham is Christ. You may ask how the offspring of Abraham help you ? This is what we have heard Christ, the offspring of Abraham have said: Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." -John 8:51 So if you keep Christ’s words, you never perceive or taste death. How? This is what we have heard: .....the power of God, -2 Timothy 1:8 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace, which He gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, -2 Timothy 1:9 and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, -2 Timothy 1:10 So the question that you need to ask yourself. Do you belong to Christ? Why, you may ask. This is what we have heard: And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. -Galatians 3:29 When you belong to Christ, then you are considered as Abraham’s offspring, and as heir, you can partake the promises of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Yes, when you belong to Christ, then as Abraham’s offspring in Christ, you will be aided —that is, that you will be delivered from the bondage of the fear of death. You may consider “how I know that I belong to Christ”. This is what we have heard: Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. -Romans 8:9 So you should concern yourself,”How you may have the Spirit of Christ.” This is what we have heard: Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? -Galatians 3:2 So we receive the Spirit by hearing with faith. What have we heard then? This is what we have heard: In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. -Galatians 4:3 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman, born under the law, -Galatians 4:4 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. -Galatians 4:5 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" -Galatians 4:6 When Christ have redeemed you from the curse of the law, then you might receive the blessing given Abraham through Christ so that you might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. In other words, you receive adoption as child of God through Christ. And because you are child, God has sent the Spirit of His son into your heart, crying, “Abba! Father!” So when you have the Spirit of His Son, you belong to Christ— you are offspring of Abraham in Christ. And you will be delivered from your bondage of fear of death when you kept what Christ has said in His gospel of peace. How you might have peace ? This is what we have heard: For He ( Christ ) himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility -Ephesians 2:14 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, -Ephesians 2:15 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. -Ephesians 2:16 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. -Ephesians 2:17 dear one, believe that the Lord Jesus Christ have preached peace. This is what the Lord have said : But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. -John 5:36 So what has been said in Ephesians 2:14-17, that is the works that the Father has given Christ to accomplish, the very works that Christ is doing, bear witness about Christ that the Father has sent Him. So dear one, if you have Christ’s word abiding in you, then you are considered as those believe the Father has sent. Dear one, if you are willing, then you will come to Christ that you may have life. Dear one, remember what Christ has spoken: It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. -John 6:63 May the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. [/QUOTE]
