WHAT IS AN HEIR? AN HEIR IS SOMEONE THAT INHERITS OR THAT IS ENTITLED TO INHERIT PROPERTY. THE HOLY BIBLE IS ACTUALLY TWO WILLS. THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND THE NEW TESTAMENT. EACH OF THESE WILLS DEMAND SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, OR EXPLICIT PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN THINGS. FOR EXAMPLE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES MEN WERE REQUIRED TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THE LAW SAID. MEN WERE SAVED BY WORKS. WHEN THE LAW OF MOSES REQUIRED THAT A MAN NOT WORK ON THE SABBATH; IF A MAN DID ANY TYPE OF WORK IT WAS REQUIRED THAT HE BE STONED TO DEATH. Nm:15:32: And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. Nm:15:33: And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. Nm:15:34: And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. Nm:15:35: And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. Nm:15:36: And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses. CHILDREN OF LIGHT, UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES A PERSON WAS REQUIRED TO OFFER UP SACRIFICES, KILL WITCHES REQUIRED TO STONE STUBBORN CHILDREN, WAS FORBIDDEN TO EAT CERTAIN ANIMALS SUCH AS HOG, RABBIT, SQUIRREL, AND FORBIDDEN TO EAT CERTAIN FISH SUCH AS CATFISH, OR CRAB, A PERSON COULD NOT BUY OR SELL ON THE SABBATH, COULD NOT LIGHT A FIRE TO COOK A MEAL, THEY COULD DO NO WORK. THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES' WAS VERY STRICT, IT REQUIRED THAT EVERY LAW BE KEPT TO THE LETTER. Rom:7:5: For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. Rom:7:6: But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Rom:7:7: What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. IS THE LAW OF MOSES' IN EFFECT TODAY? YES, EVERY ONE THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE BODY OF CHRIST IS UNDER THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES ON MOUNT SINAI. SAINTS OF GOD, NOT ONLY WERE THE CHILDREN OF GOD REQUIRED TO KEEP THE LAW TO THE LETTER BUT IF A MAN TRANSGRESSED ONE LAW HE WAS GUILTY OF TRANSGRESSING ALL. Jms:2:10: For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. WHERE THERE IS LAW, THERE MUST BE PUNISHMENT. THE PUNISHMENT FOR THOSE THAT TRANSGRESSED THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES WAS DEATH. FIRST CAME THE CURSE, THEN CONDEMNATION. Dt:27:26: Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. (KJV) CAN THE CHILDREN OF GOD BE MADE RIGHTEOUS IN THE EYES OF GOD BY KEEPING THE LAW GIVEN ON MOUNT SINAI? ABSOLUTELY NOT. IF WE THE CHILDREN OF GOD COULD HAVE BEEN MADE RIGHTEOUS BY KEEPING THE LAW THEN CHRIST DIED FOR NOTHING. Gal:2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Gal:2:17: But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. Gal:2:18: For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. Gal:2:19: For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. Gal:2:20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal:2:21: I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (KJV) WERE THERE MANY SAVED UNDER THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES? ONLY A FEW. THE WORD FEW IS DEFINED AS THREE OR MORE. Is:24:5: The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Is:24:6: Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF MEN THAT ARE PREACHING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT TRYING TO DRAW THE SAINTS OF GOD BACK UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES. WHEN YOU SEE EVIL THINK MONEY FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. HOW COULD MEN BE ENRICHED BY DRAWING MEN, AND WOMEN, UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES. UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES GOD PLACED A TAX ON THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL CALLED THE TITHE. IT REQUIRED THAT ALL THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL GIVE ONE TENTH OF THEIR INCREASE WHETHER IT BE MONEY, LIVE STOCK, OR PRODUCE, TO THE LEVITICAL TRIBE FOR THEIR SUPPORT. FOR GOD HAD CHOSE THE PRIESTLY TRIBE, THE LEVITICAL TRIBE, TO BE HIS OWN. THE LEVITICAL TRIBE WAS CHOSEN TO MINISTER UNTO THE LORD GOD, AND TO BLESS IN HIS NAME. IF A MAN WAS ONE PENNY, OR ONE SHEEP, OR ONE GRAIN OF CORN, SHORT ON THE TITHE, HE WENT UNDER THE CURSE, OR A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. NOTICE IN THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE THAT, THE WHOLE NATION OF ISRAEL, BECAUSE OF THE TITHING LAWS CAME UNDER THE CURSE, OR A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. Mal:3:8: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Mal:3:9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. MULTITUDES OF MEN PREACH TITHING, AND THEY THINK THAT THEY ARE LAYING THIS HEAVY BURDEN UPON THE CONGREGATION, BUT IN REALITY THEY ARE LAYING THIS BURDEN UPON THEMSELVES. FOR A MAN CANNOT PREACH ONE WAY, AND LIVE ANOTHER. Rom:2:17: Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, Rom:2:18: And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; Rom:2:19: And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, Rom:2:20: An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Rom:2:21: Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Rom:2:22: Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Rom:2:23: Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? Rom:2:24: For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. Rom:2:25: For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. BELOVED OF GOD, IF A MAN BUILDS AGAIN THE THINGS THAT WERE DESTROYED WHEN HE WAS BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. Gal:2:18: For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. Gal:2:19: For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. Gal:2:20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal:2:21: I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. LISTEN CAREFULLY SAINTS OF GOD, IF WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD CANNOT INHERIT SUCH THINGS AS ETERNAL LIFE, THE IMMORTAL BODY, AND THE HEAVENLY CITY NEW JERUSALEM, BY KEEPING THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES; WHY WAS THE LAW OF MOSES RECORDED? THE LAW OF MOSES WAS OUR SCHOOL MASTER TO BRING US TO CHRIST. BUT SINCE CHRIST HAS COME WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SCHOOLMASTER. Gal:3:21: Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. Gal:3:22: But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Gal:3:23: But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Gal:3:24: Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Gal:3:25: But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Gal:3:26: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE SAINTS OF GOD, BEFORE JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, CAME INTO THIS WORLD AND OFFERED HIMSELF A SACRIFICE UPON CALVARIES CROSS, WE AS GENTILES WERE WITHOUT HOPE OF INHERITING ETERNAL LIFE. BUT WHEN CHRIST HANG ON CALVARIES TREE, HE TORE DOWN THE PARTITION BETWEEN THE JEW, AND THE GENTILE, AND MADE OF THE TWAIN ONE NEW MAN IN CHRIST. NOW WE HAVE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. Eph:2:11: Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; Eph:2:12: That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: Eph:2:13: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Eph:2:14: For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Eph:2:15: Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; Eph:2:16: And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: HOLY CHILDREN, THERE ARE TWO SYSTEMS OF LAW THAT MEN WILL BE JUDGED BY ON JUDGMENT DAY, ONE IS KNOWN AS THE LAW OF MOSES; WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE LAW OF SIN, AND DEATH. THE OTHER LAW THAT MEN SHALL BE JUDGED BY IS THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE WHICH IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. Rom:8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom:8:2: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom:8:3: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom:8:4: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. CHILDREN OF LIGHT, IF YOU PLAN ON INHERITING SUCH THINGS AS ETERNAL LIFE, THE IMMORTAL BODY, IT IS TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE "WORKS OF THE FLESH." FOR IF YOU DO THOSE THINGS LISTED IN THE WORKS OF THE FLESH, YOU SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE LISTED IN THE BOOK OF GALATIANS BEGINS WITH Gal:5:19: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal:5:20: Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Gal:5:21: Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. IF YOU ARE A NEW CONVERT TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHEN THE OLD TESTAMENT BECAME NULL, AND VOID, FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. THE OLD TESTAMENT LOST IT POWER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS. Lk:16:16: The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (KJV) BELOVED OF GOD, COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, UNDER THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS, WE AS SAINTS OF GOD MUST NOT SAY EVEN IN OUR HEARTS WHO HAS GONE INTO HEAVEN, NEITHER ARE WE TO SAY WHO HAS GONE INTO HELL ; THIS IS THE LAW OF FAITH. Rom:10:1: Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Rom:10:2: For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Rom:10:3: For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. Rom:10:4: For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Rom:10:5: For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. Rom:10:6: But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Rom:10:7: Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) Rom:10:8: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; Rom:10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom:10:10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. LET ME CONCLUDE WITH WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE GREATEST VERSE OF SCRIPTURE IN THE BIBLE. Jn:3:16: 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. (KJV) NOTICE THE GREATS IN THIS VERSE; FOR GOD, GOD IS THE GREATEST DEVINE PERSON. SO LOVED, LOVE IS THE GREATEST DEVOTION. THE WORLD, THE GREATEST NUMBER. THAT HE GAVE. TO GIVE IS THE GREATEST ACT A MAN CAN DO. HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. THE GREATEST GIFT. THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH. THE GREATEST CONDITION. BUT HAVE EVER LASTING LIFE; THE GREATEST RESULTS.
