Crucified Buried Raised With Him

Salvation is a wonderous, glorious gift of God that is so rich, so incredibly more than we realize at first that it is humbling while filling us to overflowing with joy. That the God of heaven Creator of all things loves us so very much He took on flesh, became a man of no reputation, and was obedient unto death on the cross to give me life in Himself, I can only thank Him, praise Him, share Him.

Philippians 2:5-8 KJV — Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

He did that for each of us because we are all a hot mess of sin, we have all broken God’s laws because we are of Adam by birth. Scripture tells us that sin entered the world through Adam abd the consequences of that sin is death. That sin and it’s wage are part of all of us by nature, we are all sinners. It’s not something we have to learn or are taught. Spend 10 minutes with a little child and you’ll see that quick enough. Trust me you don’t gotta teach those little jokers to lie. We’re no different as we grow older either, we are all like toddlers with soiled diapers trying to deny our own stinking filth in God’s eyes. That filth that separates us eternally from God who is holy and can’t be around sin. He hates it and it breaks His heart that we wallow like hogs in slop in it. So He planned a way to fix our sin problem before He even began creating our world or us. See before the world began He already knew we were gonna jack it up in about a half a minute so He planned out the fix before hand . But He knew too Satan would be at the root of our fall and would love to ruin the plan – that’s just how that deceiver works- so God kept His master plan to restore both earth and heaven under Christ a secret until the right moment and then He revealed it to the Apostle Paul and offered complete forgiveness instantly through His glorious grace. He was able to do this because His Son died for our sins, became sin for us even though He, Jesus Christ never once sinned. He was crucified and died and it was my sins and yours that drove the nails in Him, that broke His heart and His body as His blood poured out and covered our sins, He was buried to remove those sins forever from us and rose the third day for our justification before God. All we have to do is believe that, the gospel of our salvation, the gospel of God’s grace.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV — For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

The debt we owe is stamped “paid” because Christ paid it all with His blood. When we believe that and trust that when He says it is finished He means it then we are saved, sealed and set into Him!

Ephesians 1:13 KJV — 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 holy Spirit of promise,

Ephesians 4:30 KJV — …whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

That’s it, it’s a done deal and you can never do anything to add to it or try to earn it cause Christ already did it all. You just have to believe and trust that and when you do then God sees you as crucified with Him, buried with Him, and raised with Him.

Romans 6:3-4 KJV — Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Colossians 2:12 KJV — Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

That’s just the beginning of the riches of His grace and it’s already almost too much to grasp. But that grace that saves us also guides us and it helps us grasp and rejoice in the freedom we have in Him. In the love that surpasses anything we’ve ever know and the peace and joy beyond our natural understanding, the love that blessed us who are in Christ with all Spiritual blessings in heavenly places! We’re just waiting for our bodies to catch up to our spirits😉. Make sure your eternally gripped in His glorious grace!

Blessed!

God gives so abundantly, so exceedingly to those who are in His Son. He pours out of the riches of His grace far beyond anything we could ever think to ask, desire or pray for.

Ephesians 3:20 KJV — Now unto him that is able to do 👉exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, 👈according to the power that worketh in us,

Ephesians 2:7 KJV — That in the ages to come he might shew the 👉exceeding riches of his grace👈 in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 1:7 KJV — In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, 👉according to the riches of his grace;

After all who would think to ask God to do what He did? Who would have thought to ask Him to come to Earth as a man, live a sinless life then take on all our sins, our filth and mess as He took our place and died of or us on the cross?

When Adam ate that fruit way back in the garden he brought the curse of sin on all mankind. We are all his descendants by birth and therefrom we are all sinners. We’ve all done things that broke His laws and His heart, things that separated us from Him eternally and signed our death sentence. But God never wanted it to be this way, He created man to fellowship with, for His glory, and in His wisdom He knew full we what man would do, what they would choose before He even spoke those words of power and might “Let there be light…”. See, before the world began He made a perfect plan to save mankind that He kept hidden in himself until the due time. He planned to pay the debt we owe because of our sins himself, He took our place and died for us that we might be made righteousness in Him. Basically, Christ paid a debt He didn’t owe to make your sin black heart pure as snow . That’s love and that is more than we could ever think of to ask.

2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV — For he hath 👉made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin👈; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

God offers us the most amazing gift and all we have to do is accept it by believing that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again . When we believe that we we are saved eternally, sealed by the Holy Spirit and seated in Christ. We are seated in heaven in Him, blessed beyond imagining in Him, lived beyond understanding in Him. And all we have to do is believe that He is who He said, did what He did, and it means what He says. We just have to trust Him, it’s that simple. So have you, if not will you right now? Will you believe in His death burial and resurrection for your eternal salvation?

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV — For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that 👉Christ died for our sins 👈according to the scriptures; And that he👉 was buried👈, and that👉 he rose again the third day👈 according to the scriptures:

Ephesians 1:13 KJV —👉 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 holy Spirit of promise👈

Accepted in the Beloved

This truth of who we are in Christ as members of His body is one that gives me the deepest peace, a peace that passeth all understanding and is possible only by resting solely in His glorious grace! I praise Him that I am eternally gripped in His love, accepted in the Beloved, Christ Jesus, God’s precious Son and my Saviour. Do you have this peace? Are you accepted in Christ, the Beloved because you have believed the gospel of your Salvation; how that Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again the third day?

We are all sinners by nature and that sin separates us from God who is holy, just and perfect. Our sin breaks God’s laws and His heart as it means we must die because that’s the wages of sin and that in dying we would be sent to hell for all eternity. But He doesn’t want it that way, He created man to be in fellowship with Him, to bring Him glory. But the first man Adam, well he jacked that all up pretty quick and brought sin upon man, sin that we inherited through him. But God in His wisdom knew what Adam would do and the problem man would have because of it before He ever even made the world and He made a plan then to fix it. He decided before the world began that He would send His Beloved Son to dwell among us on Earth – God with meat on Him- and eventually go to the cross and die for the sins of the world. God took your sins (and mine) and laid them on Christ, who died for them to pay your debt to God. He paid the debt He didn’t owe because He knew you could never do it. He was the only One who could, and in His precious grace, and glorious love He did so. He paid for all sins that day at Calvary – past, present and future – with His blood, you just need to believe that and when you do then He saves you, it’s a gift, completely free. You just have to accept it, believe Christ Jesus is who said, did what He did. Trusting in His blood alone is the ONLY thing that can will and does save you. That’s believing Christ and the gospel of God’s grace.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV — For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that 👉Christ died for our sins 👈according to the scriptures; And that 👉he was buried, 👈and that 👉he rose again the third day👈 according to the scriptures:

Ephesians 1:13 KJV — 👉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 holy Spirit of promise👈

Ephesians 2:8 KJV — For 👉by grace are ye saved through faith;👈 and that not of yourselves: it is 👉the gift of God:👈

If you have believed that only gospel that saves you today then you are saved, sealed by the Holy Spirit into Christ and yes, you too are accepted in the Beloved.

Two Natures

So I feed the blessed one with sound doctrine by studying the KJV Bible rightly divided. And that sound doctrine works effectually within me for my edification and growth as an ambassador of Christ.

Romans 8:1 KJV — There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV — Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Titus 1:9 KJV — Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

Titus 2:1 KJV — But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

1 Thessalonians 2:13 KJV — For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

2 Corinthians 5:20 KJV — Now then 👉we are ambassadors for Christ, 👈as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

The Next Second…

The next second isn’t promised and if anyone today has not put their trust in Christ’s finished work of the Cross alone for their salvation then they are lost as a golf ball in high weeds and they will one day find out just how real hell is. We are all sinners, all! We’ve all broken God’s perfect law and the 👉only👈 way to fix that problem is to 👉place our trust in Jesus Christ’s death to pay for all our sins👈 – past present and future, after all they were all future when Christ died for them. 👉 His burial to remove them👈 as far as the east is from the west for all eternity and👉 His resurrection the third day for our justification.👈 When we place our trust in His death, burial and resurrection alone then that very instant we are saved, sealed and baptized by the Holy Spirit in Christ for all eternity. It truly is finished when we accept the gift so freely offered of His glorious grace.

✝️1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV — For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

✝️Ephesians 1:13 KJV — 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 holy Spirit of promise,

That is the gospel of our salvation and the only hope any of us have and knowing that we have trusted solely in Christ finished work (not water baptism, not stopping sinning, not praying a prayer, walking an aisle, signing a card, not any acts or thought or deed can save us because Christ has already done it all, paid it all,and it is finished.

Heir of God for Eternity

Heir of God for eternity! That’s the beautiful, amazing truth of what His grace makes me! I can hardly wrap my head around it, hardly believe the very God of glory gave his precious blood for me, paid my debt when He didn’t have to, died and was put in that tomb for me eternally casting my every single sin away, then rose the third day for my justification. When I believed that, when I placed my trust solely in His faithfulness through His death burial and resurrection then that instant I was saved, set free from sin and sealed by the Holy Spirit into Christ my Saviour, immediately and eternally saved, praise God I was saved by His grace because the precious blood shed on Calvary of the very God of heaven was the only thing that could take my son and set me free. That’s the Gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 and it wasn’t just for me alone but for the world. If you haven’t believed that truth already and you have read this far please do not delay any longer. Christ already paid it all, His blood for poured out 2,000 years ago and it was your name on His mind Your name, yoursins, your life He bought with His blood. Accept what He has done and believe that it is finished, it’s His gift of His grace and it is the ONLY way to be saved today.

That truth alone is enough, but not only are we saved and sealed by when we trust solely in His finished work of the cross but we are out into Him through the dry baptism of the Holy Spirit and that means we are a new creation in Christ. From the instant we belueve and trust Him alone God no longer sees us and the jacked up mess we are but He sees us in His Son ! He sees us as heirs with Christ and we will this poem by an unknowns author expresses it so well.

👉What a prospect, child of glory
Does the future hold in store.
By thy wildest flights of fancy,
Thou could never ask for more.

Heir of God, joint-heir forever,
With His own beloved Son.
God could not to you have promised
More of bliss than He has done.👈

Think on that, let it really take root in your heart and live like who you are, an heir of God in Christ.

I’m Gonna Meet Christ in the Air, Are You?

If you believe what Christ said in Paul’s Epistles you will…

The Apostle Paul writes the following by direct revelation from the glorified risen Christ to the Church the Body of Christ:

Romans 1:16 KJV — For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Romans 2:16 KJV — In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV — For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV — Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Ephesians 1:13 KJV — 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 holy Spirit of promise,

Ephesians 4:30 KJV — And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Romans 8:23 KJV — And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 KJV — Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 KJV — For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Philippians 3:20-21 KJV — For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Will you meet Christ in the air with me?

The Gospel That Saves

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you 👉the gospel which I preached unto you, 👈which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that 👉which I also received👈, how that 👉Christ died for our sins 👈according to the scriptures; And that he 👉was buried, and that he rose again the third day👈 according to the scriptures: – 1 Corinthians 15:1‭-‬4 KJV

Enough said.

That Voice You Hear, It Ain’t God!

It’s just the bad pizza you ate. That’s because God isn’t speaking to anyone one audibly or in your head today! He’s given us His perfect word in written form already, it contains everything He wants us to know about what He is doing and leaves out everything He doesn’t.

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, 👉to fulfil the word of God; 👈 Colossians 1:25 KJV

The Apostle Paul wrote the very last words God gave to us down. They were given to him by the glorified risen Christ through a series of progressive revelations over many years. It was through these words that we get our doctrines for today and understand why God is forming this new creature the Body of Christ.

We simply believe that what God has already said (and preserved) in his WRITTEN and preserved word (KJV) is true.

In hope of eternal life, which 👉God, that cannot lie, 👈 promised before the world began; Titus 1:2 KJV

That by two immutable things, in which it was 👉impossible for God to lie, 👈 we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Hebrews 6:18 KJV

God has never and will never go against his written word, because he values his word ABOVE ALL.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: 👉for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.👈 Psalms 138:2 KJV

Sanctify them through thy truth: 👉thy word is truth.👈 John 17:17 KJV

As for God, his way is perfect:👉 the word of the Lord is tried:👈 he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. Psalms 18:30 KJV

God’s word tells us plainly that apostle Paul was the LAST person to receive word from God.

Paul writes …

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you,👉 to fulfil the word of God; 👈 Colossians 1:25 KJV

“To fulfil” means to complete, finish, done.

Now there’s no getting around it, either that verse is true or its not true.

Either God is truthful or God is a liar.

I believe that verse. I believe God is truthful, therefore I know God has already given to us ALL the words that he intended to give us, and preserved those very words perfectly in a book. Today, we have God’s complete word in the KJV Bible (KJV).

But, unless we, as a saved person, study it the way God instructs us to in his written word, 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV, we will not be able to get the profit out of it that God intends us to have. Thus, we will misinterpret his word and be without the clarity that is freely available when we obey his commandment to study and rightly divide.

If you’re hearing voices or think you are receiving signs, you are mistaken to assume it is from God. Whatever you might be hearing or seeing is either from your own imagination … or … from God’s adversary, Satan. That deceiver wants nothing more than to keep you confused, unfruitful, and destroy your testimony of God’s grace. So he tries to keep you from knowing it.

Our apostle Paul warns us:

And no marvel; for 👉Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 👈 2 Corinthians 11:14 KJV

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:👈 Ephesians 2:2 KJV

Paul makes the following about signs very clear.

For the 👉 Jews require a sign👈, and the Greeks seek after wisdom 1 Corinthians 1:22 KJV

(For we walk by faith,👉 not👈 by sight:) 2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you,👉 to fulfil the word of God; 👈 Colossians 1:25 KJV

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. 👈 Galatians 1:8 KJV

Paul penned the last words from God, and God preserved those last words for us in Romans thru Philemon KJV. So if you want to talk to God or for Him to talk to you grab a King James Bible and start reading.
