For it would be Unjust of God ? 2

For it would be Unjust of God ? 2

Because of what all Jesus Christ suffered on behalf of those He died and federally represented, God is Just in giving them Faith in the One who is their Saviour, who died for them, and so Pauk writes to the Philippian believers, though it does not just apply to them, this Phil 1:29

29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

This is a Just move and giving on behalf of Christ, to be given to believe on Him as well as suffer for Him.

Now listen, if one teaches or believes, that even though Christ died for one, if they do not come to faith, its their own fault ! But that is ever so false, for if they do not believe its God's Fault, Because unbelief is the consequence of being in a Spiritual dead and lost state, and under the power of the devil the god of this world 2 Cor 4:3-4

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

That's why these believe not Jn 8:24

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

So if one believes not the Gospel they are in a spiritually dead and LOST state, their not believing is due to the Gospel being hid and satan blinding their minds !

This would make God at fault [if Christ died for them] for not applying unto them Spiritual life, New Birth, as a consequence of Christ's for them satisfying His Law and Justice on their behalf, taking away the penalty of sin which is death Rom 6:23; Now if Christ's death truly did that, then Spiritual Life is owed them, it is due them as debt from God the Father to the Son so its no way around it, and when its all said and done, the confirmation on who Christ died for shall be manifested by their Spiritual life given Faith that believes on Him, Believing on Christ for Salvation is the Evidence of Christ having died for them, Jn 3:16

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.

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world

Jn 1:29

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world !

Now the world here by false teachers testimony is supposedly all mankind without exception, that is every single person from first to last, however that is a false and deceptive testimony, and we know this not to be true because many shall yet die in unbelief and in their sins Jn 8:24

24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

So its obvious that their sins were not taken away y the Lmb of God here described in our text; for yet its a very particular and distinct world as Jn 6:33

33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

In the greek the word giveth is in the present tense, denoting a continual giving of Life to this particular world in view, and this is Spiritual and Eternal Life meant !

Its the World of God's Elect, the Gentile Church, Jn 3:16 or its the World of God's Elect which includes Gentiles opposed to just jews !

Now this Lamb of God here that John the Baptist points out, was antitypical of the lambs that were specifically for national Israel, but this Lamb had People to expiate for, not among the jews only, but also among the Gentiles.

Now John is writing of the same blessed Truth here 1 Jn 3:5

5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Please note here in this verse sins [plural] is used verses sin [singular] in Jn 1:29,

So those who shall yet hear the dreadful words Matt 7:23

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Obviously they were not of that World that hath their sins taken away, they had no part of that world; Neither does these Rev 18:4-5

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

How hath God remembered her sins and iniquities, if His Lamb sacrificed for them hath taken them away, and they most certainly could not be of those the Covenant Blood of Christ was shed for since for them it is written Heb 8:12

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

And so those whom sins the Lamb of God taketh away, God remembers them no more, agreeable to the Faith of God's Elect here Ps 103:12

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

This mainly speaks of Justification and acquittal of them all before His Law and Justice through the Blood of the Lamb !

 

[beloved57]

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world 2

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world 2

Now also those whom God hath through the Lamb of God hath taken away their sins, accomplished with that, is a taking away of their ungodliness Rom 11:26-27

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer [The Lamb of God], and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Through the Lamb of God Jn 1:29, 1 Jn 3:5 !

And so those who have their sins taken away additionally and correspondingly and consequently they also have the wages / penalty of sin taken away.

Now proof of this is seen here Eph 1:7

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

Forgiveness also implies the releasing from a debt of obligation, its the word aphesis:

a sending away, a letting go, a release, pardon, complete forgiveness.

áphesis (from 863 /aphíēmi, "send away, forgive" ) – properly, "something sent away"; i.e. remission ("forgiveness"), releasing someone from obligation or debt.

forgiveness, pardon, of sins (properly, the letting them go, as if they had not been committed (see at length Trench, § xxxiii.)), remission of their penalty

Do you see that ? This is huge ! This applies to those of the World of Jn 1:29, it has to God's Justice demands it for Christ's Sake !

Heb 9:12 is very enlightening here Heb 9:12

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

The word redemption here lutrósis:

redemption from the penalty of sin

Again, this is huge and extremely significant in understanding the consequences of Jn 1:29 of that World whose sins are taken away by the Lamb of God !

The world there is legally saved from all of its sin, and penalty free ! And we know this cannot apply to all without exception !

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world 3

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world 3

When te Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world Jn 1:29, He taketh away the penalty thereof, because He hath on their behalf endured it completely, for the whole world of them, hence the devils power over that world has been destroyed as Per God's Purpose through it 1 Jn 3:8,5

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.

Vs 5 gives us another reason why He was manifested

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

So taking away their sins and destroying the works of the devil are sure consequences, results of the Death of Christ.

The penalty has been paid and absolved , the curse is done away with, so not one of them of that World Jn 1:29 should ever hear these frightful words Matt 25:41

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Not one of them can be cursed ones coud have been included in that World of Jn 1:29 !

But listen, that's not all, not only does the Lamb of God take away the Penalty of sin, for that has for sure been accomplished, but also the taking away of their ungodliness, their disobedience and rebellion, which are fruits of the wages of death, hath been accomplished too Rom 11:26-27

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

One version renders is :

26 In this way, all Israel will be saved, as it is written:


The deliverer will come from Zion.
He will remove ungodly behavior from Jacob. CEB

This is also what Peter meant here Acts 3:25-26

25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Yes, a necessary consequence of The Lamb of God taking away the sin of the World Jn 1:29, for everyone of that world, in whatever part of world history they lived in, shall experience the blessing of being turned from their iniquities !

 

[beloved57]

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world 4

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world 4

You see part of the consequences of sin and death as the penalty of sin, was for God to imprison, confine His People in Unbelief or disobedience Rom 11:32

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

That word concluded means to imprison, lock up, enclose in , shut up in unbelief or disobedience. The word unbelief is apeitheia:

I.obstinacy, obstinate opposition to the divine will

Its rendered disobedience here Eph 5:6

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience

It could be rendered the children of unbelief !

So part of the consequences of sin, by the Divine Judgment, is to imprison His People into unbelief, obstinacy, opposition to His Divine Will !

But since their sins are taken away, its penalty is taken away, this too, to be consistent with Justice must be taken away.

Again, the very important point being made here, when our sins are taken away as pointed for the world of Jn 1:29, then to follow is the taking away of ungodliness, unbelief, opposition to the Divine Will, and we know that this does not happen to and for all people without exception, for we have scriptures like this to evidence it Rom 2:4-8

4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

2 Thess 1:8

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

And that's why Jesus instructed His Messengers to Preach not only remission of sins [ the penalty] but Repentance [a turning from ungodliness], for He that gives by Grace the Remission of sins to His People, accompanied with is Repentance from ungodliness Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

Acts 11:18

18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

Acts 3:25-26

25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.


This is the Gospel Message of Grace to be preached to all nations Lk 24:46-47

46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Not to just jews but to all nations See Acts 11:18 !

Everyone in the World of Jn 1:29 this is applied to by the Spirit and Grace of God !

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world 5

The Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world 5

Now why did John write that He taketh away the sin of the world, and not sins ? A couple of reasons, for one because it was one sin committed that was the inlet to all other sins, the mother sin so to speak, to all other sins in the world, for Paul writes Rom 5:15-16

15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

Vs 15 the One offence, set in motion the many offences of the many, for if you chop a tree down at its root, it destroys all of its fruit and branches, for that ne offence is mainly responsible for all other offences, So the Lamb of God taketh away the sin of the world that caused it all, and its fruit, the sins of all Adam's race in him when he sinned against God, as their natural and federal covenant head, so the word sin here in Jn 1:29

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Its all comprehensive. Then again, sometimes the bible uses the singular for the plural as in here it is written Isa 53:12

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Note it is written He bare the sin [singular] of many ! Now compare Heb 9:28

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Here its " offered to bear the sins [plural] of many, and yet both places are referring to the one and same event of Christ !

The World of Jn 1:29 as a result of that One Offering of the Lamb of God, is totally free from any sin charged to it, Justified from it all !

B.the assembly of the Israelites

Remember that, the assembly of the Israelites in the wilderness Acts 7:38

This is he, that was in the church G1577 in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

Technically and by definition that was a World in the Wilderness !

We can by definition actually state that the Nation of Israel is a World, and we can say the World minus the Nation of Israel is a World as Paul intimates here Rom 11:15

15 For if the casting away of them[National Israel] be the reconciling of the world,

Any orderly arrangement or collection of individuals is a World,a Harmonious Constitution , again much like the Nation of Israel.

Remember when they came into their physical inheritance of the Land of canaan ? God had orderly arrangement, read in the Book of Joshua !

The Church, the Elect of God are a World in themselves also because, the World was made principally for them and their Head Christ Gen 1:26-27

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Which Pictured Christ and the Church !

1 Cor 3:21-23

21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:[Christ]

Now how could all things be Created for Christ, and not for His Church, His Eve ?

That would be like saying all things were Created for Adam, but not Eve Gen 1:26-27

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Not only that, The Church is the Most Excellent part of the World Ps 16:3

3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

In whom is all Christ's their Mediator's Delight; for they were His delight before the World began Prov 8:31

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

That's that World of God's Chosen in Him and given to Him Eph 1:4

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of 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.

Salvation is by Grace first of all because its God's Workmanship, being Created in Christ Jesus unto good works !

Its a Creation out of Grace Isa 43:7

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

Now how a man uses his freewill to become a Creation, beats me ! Creation is an Act of God alone, Jesus said to His disciples about Salvation, when they asked Him, who then shall be saved ? Read what He stated Matt 19:25-26

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Becoming saved is impossible with men because only God can Create, and that's what Salvation is, A New Creation Eph 2:10

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

2 Thes. 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

I believe this is occurring now, in our day.

The temple of God that the man of sin sits in is mainstream religion; false Christianity,
preaching an "I Will" (Isaiah 14:13-14) gospel that caused his fall;
now epitomized by the "Freewill" gospel which is also built upon the pride of man:
salvation by works they do, however subtle they may be.

2 Cor. 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves
into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their works.

I believe that's the mark (Rev. 13:16) which those in Satan's religious system take in their right hand or forehead.
What one does with his hand is typified by carrying out his own will; the forehead is typified by the mind.

God calls His Elect People to come out of this false religious system:

Rev. 18:1-4 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power;
and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every
foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine
of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

I believe this is occurring now, in our day.

Most definitely !

The temple of God that the man of sin sits in is mainstream religion; false Christianity,
preaching an "I Will" (Isaiah 14:13-14) gospel that caused his fall;
now epitomized by the "Freewill" gospel which is also built upon the pride of man:
salvation by works they do, however subtle they may be.

Absolutely !

I believe that's the mark (Rev. 13:16) which those in Satan's religious system take in their right hand or forehead.
What one does with his hand is typified by carrying out his own will; the forehead is typified by the mind.

Yes !

God calls His Elect People to come out of this false religious system:

Rev. 18:1-4 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power;
and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every
foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine
of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Yes, and its an effectual call !

The Gift of Righteousness !

The Gift of Righteousness !

Rom 5:17

17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ)

Now what is this Gift of Righteousness that those Christ died for receive ? Its an Gift given to all for whom Christ died, by imputation, its to regard as Righteous resulting from The Death of Christ in our behalf !

Rom 4:6,11

6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

Now here is where the Antichrist followers really deceive the deceived non elect, for they tell us that this GIFT of Righteousness is a offer made to all mankind and that its up to the individual to either accept it or reject it according to their mythological freewill !

However nothing can more further from the truth, the fact is, all for whom Christ died for receive it [ The Gift of Righteousness] legally by Imputation, they receive it because God regards it theirs resulting from the death of Christ for them. Its theirs based upon a Divine Sovereign Act that is authorized by the Work of Christ on their behalf, another way of saying it is like its written here Rom 5:18

18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

The Free Gift came upon them by Imputation or it met upon them, it was laid upon them by Divine Imputation.

Remember when it was written that God Laid upon Him the iniquity of us all Isa 53:6

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Well that word laid means:

i.to meet, light upon, join, account , Just as Our Iniquities were imputed, joined, accounted to Him, Hence the Divine Legal exchange 2 Cor 5:21

21 For he hath made[by imputation] him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made[by imputation] the righteousness of God in him.

Its also that Justification of Life imputed to ones account for the sake of Christ, not for the sake of mans imaginary and delusional freewill, for thats an attempt to rob Christ of His Glory.

This Righteousness is a Free Gift of Grace imputed to them even while they are enemies and ungodly, for thats the legal basis for their reconciliation to God while they are enemies Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

It being imputed to us means it has been reckoned to us, looked on by God as belonging to us, not offered to us, but belonging to us because of the Legal accomplishments in our behalf of Christ's Suretyship Righteousness given or charged to us by Imputation. God sees it as Ours and being Justified by it before Him, its as we did it all ourselves, But Christ did it, He satisfied God's Law and Justice for us, bare its curse and rendered for us Perfect unspotted obedience, and its recokoned to all for whom He died as a Free Gift of God's Grace , even while we are unbelievers and ungodly by nature as others !

If anyone teaches that we must meet any kind of condition, obedience, like Faith or Repentance or water baptism before God reckons it ours, they lairs and antichrist and hold Christ's Legal work for us before God's Law and Justice in contempt !

Inability is denied by antichrist followers !

Inability is denied by antichrist followers !

Rom 5:6

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

One of the major and obvious delusions of false religion is a denial of total depravity or total inability due to spiritual death by nature !

Most if not all religionists will cry that man has some ability, whereas the testimony of scripture and the true Saints deny that !

Paul here under the inspiration of the Spirit writes that when we [Believers] were without strengeth !

Now that word strength is not speaking about physical strength naturally, but spiritually, and the in the greek is adjective asthenēs and means:

I.weak, infirm, feeble, , impotent

In fact the word is translated as such here Acts 4:9

If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent G772 man, by what means he is made whole;

Now the word impotent needs to be defined to a better understanding of the word and the truth of God, it means:

not potent; lacking power or ability.

utterly unable (to do something).

lacking bodily strength or physically helpless.

But in the sense of Rom 5:6 it means lacking Spiritual strength and Spiritual helplessness !

It was for this reason Christ had to die to save His People from their sins, if not they are in a situation where they could not help themselves, they had no ability to !

But false religionists advocate that man naturally has spiritual ability, he has the ability to believe, to have faith, to come to God, to repent, to obey God Spiritually and on and on, in total contradiction to the Testimony of scripture !

Now even though many translations of scripture are dangerous, and only by the enablement of the Spirit of God can one be prevented from their deceptions, yet sometimes they capture the meanng of a word or words.

Rom 5:6

6 While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly.AMP

This is the Truth of all men by nature, but the freewillers, and arminians and the such totally deny it to their destruction and arrogance !
