THE LOST GOSPEL OF CONCILIATION: Part 01

When the Immutable God secures something for us it will not be stolen away. Though we may not know it exist the Almighty God is enforcing it within His realm of the universal sovereignty. God has declared PEACE (wholeness) with you by His decree alone apart from anything you can do or not do.

When conciliation is two-sided, or mutual, it becomes reconciliation. But in the following Scripture we are studying, it is a one-sided change, conciliation, effected by God alone. This lets us know that God is the initiator of the peace treaty and thus first it is God that declares the peace and secures it beyond our corruption.

Yet all is of God, Who conciliated us to Himself through Christ, and is giving us the dispensation of the conciliation, how that, in Christ, God was conciliating the world to Himself, not reckoning their offenses to them, and placing in us the word of the conciliation.”

This one-sided change is conveyed in the Scriptures by the Greek word “katalagee”, DOWN- CHANGE, conciliation. The thought of a two-sided change is voiced in the Greek by “apo-katallassoo”, FROM-DOWN-CHANGE, reconcile.

God first decrees the peace and then, He uncovers this peace in our understanding; this is the Peace we already have with Him. It is when we understand by His uncovering of it in us we are then reconciled to God.

God is the Author and Finisher of our Peace (wholeness).

Now that we understand that we are secured in the peace (wholeness) it may help to understand how if ever we were alienated and enemies of God. In reality this alienation was only in our minds (Col 2:21-23) because we trusted in our ability to do what God said, more than His ability to complete the works in us. This is the alienation only in our minds and comprehension not in the reality of God.

(Col 2:21-23) And you, being once estranged and enemies in comprehension, by wicked acts, yet now He reconciles 22 by His body of flesh, through His death, to present you holy and flawless and unimpeachable in His sight, 23 since surely you are persisting in the faith, grounded and settled and are not being removed from the expectation of the evangel which you hear which is being heralded in the entire creation which is under heaven of which I, Paul, became the dispenser.

God never perfectly intended man to make his own way. He made man a vessel by which He would fill with His love; which in the measure of God, Love is Himself. We were made to be filled with Him, for Him, and to Him (Romans 11:36)

Romans 11:32-36 For God locks up all together in stubbornness, that He should be merciful to all. 33 O, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How inscrutable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways! 34 For, who knew the mind of the Lord? or, who became His adviser? 35 or, who gives to Him first, and it will be repaid Him? 36 seeing that out of Him and through Him and for Him is all: to Him be the glory for the eons! Amen!

So thus God has provided the peace and secured it by the Power of His very throne. He swore by His very existence that He is at peace with man; not hold anything against Him. To break this promise to us He Himself would cease to exist. And that will never happen. So you have a secured peace beyond the reach of corruption. So today cease from you labors and rest in this absolute peace secured by God.

Forgiven??? Why, when we have been Justified?

Why would anyone ever want to be forgiven, which means to be found guilty of the crime and then pardoned. When they could have instead justification, which means you are declared not guilty, no crime committed. When the meaning of biblical words are confused, or they are considered equal with each other, the glorious gospel truths are made a mystery to the masses.

 

This crime is further perpetrated in the words belief and faith. Belief is not faith, and faith is not belief. Faith is the gift of God. It is seeing Christ Jesus and the finished works, and you and him finished and made whole. Faith is the byproduct of the word of God, and the byproduct of faith is belief.

 

When one understands the original intention that was spoken by Elohim in the very beginning (The Logos), they have been given faith. When faith comes into one’s soul, the conception of belief is made. Belief is the response to faith. Belief and faith are not the same thing.

 

Let’s look at another Christian word receive and the false concepts that surround it.  Many believe that when they receive faith and salvation it is about work out of their own-selves. In other words, THEY out of their own choice receive. This is not only prideful, but it is a very devious error.

 

Let me give you an example. I can receive something without choice. Let’s take the organs of my body, did I choose to receive my heart and lungs? No, I received them without a choice.  Some would have us believe that we need to receive Jesus by our choice in order for salvation to be effective. This is not true. Salvation is effective because we receive Jesus Christ as a gift of God, just like our organs are a gift of God.

 

As long as these errors are prevalent within the body, many will falsely believe that they have to obtain their own salvation. When salvation was obtained by Jesus Christ’s faith in the righteousness of his father. It is in this faith that we are contained, and have our salvation. It is in Jesus Christ’s that we give glory to God, and make no effect the self-righteousness of the Christian religion‘s idea of self salvation for Jesus Christ is the author – which means originator, and the finisher – which means the one who completed, our faith.

The Scripture:

“Yet now, apart from law, a righteousness of God is manifest (being attested by the law and the prophets),  yet a righteousness of God through Jesus Christ’s faith, for all, and on all who are believing, for there is no distinction,  for all sinned and are wanting of the glory of God. 24 Being justified gratuitously in His grace, through the deliverance which is in Christ Jesus” Roman 3:21-23

“Now to the worker, the wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as a debt.  Yet to him who is not working, yet is believing on Him Who is justifying the irreverent, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.” Romans 4:5

For if Abraham was justified by his acts, he has something to boast in, but not toward God. For what is the Scripture saying? `Now Abraham believes God and it is reckoned to him for righteousness’” (Rom.4:2,3).

“Now the Scriptures perceiving before that God is justifying the nations by faith, preached an evangel to Abraham before, that `In you shall all the nations be blessed.’ So that those of faith are being blessed together with believing Abraham” (Gal.3:8,9).

“Being justified gratuitously by His grace, through the deliverance which is in Christ Jesus (Whom God purposed for a Propitiatory, through faith in His blood, for a display of His righteousness because of the passing over of the penalty of sins which occurred before in the forbearance of God) toward the display of His righteousness in the Current era, for Him to be just and the Justifier of the one who is of the faith of Jesus” (Rom.3:24-26).

“Being, then, justified by faith, we may be having peace with God through our Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom we have had the access, also, in faith, into this grace in which we stand, and may be glorying in expectation of the glory of God” (Rom.5:1,2).

 

Therefore it is of faith that it may accord with grace, for the promise to be confirmed to the entire seed, not to those of the law only, but to those also of the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all, 17 according as it is written that, A father of many nations have I appointed you ‐‐ facing which, he believes it of the God Who is vivifying the dead and calling what is not as if it were ‐‐ Romans 4:16-17

“One knowing no sin, He makes sin for our sakes that we should be becoming God’s righteousness in Him” (2 Cor.5:21)

“Now the just by faith shall live” (Rom.1:17)

 

09-20-10 H.I.M. GRACE MINISTRY FOR THIS EON – HOW TO HANDLE THE SELF RIGHTEOUS WORKER

When people insisted on self righteousness and their works over grace and truth, The Lord Jesus Christ would enlarge the law; frustrating them in hopes they would look to Him the author and finisher of faith. It should be noted that He only did this to the Hebrews under Kingdom covenant with God.

Now after His death, burial, and resurrection, we should enlarge grace and truth, though the temptation to enlarge the law is great; condemnation only reveals what’s wrong, it does not produce the answer. Grace and truth reveal the righteousness of God, and His love towards mankind, this is now the schoolmaster during this eon of grace – until the fullness of the gentiles and Hebrews alike, come to the understanding of the truth of God’s intention.

Circumcision – Justification & The Peace we have with God

 

In this teaching the Apostle George Maitland unveils the mysteries of Jesus Christ as written in the Scriptures. And we discuss the differences between the gospel of the circumcision and the gospel of the un-circumcision, justification and pardon, and the peace that those of the faith of Jesus Christ have with God.
