WHEN GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN, AND THE EARTH, ALL THINGS WERE VERY GOOD. AND, GOD CREATED ADAM, AND EVE, AND PLACED THEM IN A PARADISE; THE GARDEN OF EDEN, TO TEND IT, AND TO KEEP IT. AND EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN BOTH PHYSICALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY. GOD GAVE THE MAN, ADAM, A COMMANDMENT. THAT HE COULD EAT OF THE FRUIT OF EVERY TREE IN THE GARDEN EXCEPT, THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD, AND EVIL. BUT IN THE DAY THAT HE EAT OF THAT TREE, HE WOULD SURELY DIE.

Gn:2:16: And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: Gn:2:17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

WHEN ADAM TRANSGRESSED THAT COMMANDMENT, AND EAT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD, AND EVIL. SIN CAME INTO THE WORLD. SIN ROSE UP HIGH, AND WENT FAR CONTAMINATING, POLLUTING, AND MAKING UNCLEAN, THE PEOPLE, THE ANIMALS, THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND OTHER OF GOD'S CREATURES. WHAT IS SIN? IT IS A TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S LAW.

1Jn:3:4: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (KJV)

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION CHILD OF GOD, WHAT IF ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT YOU LOOKED AT WAS PAINTED RED. THE GROUND, THE PEOPLE, THE ANIMALS, THE BIRDS, THE FISH. A CONSTANT LOOKING AT RED WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME VERY MONOTONOUS. I ONCE SAW A MOVIE IN WHICH A WHOLE TOWN PAINTED RED. IT LOOKED HORRIBLE. AS FAR AS I KNOW; SIN IS ONLY TWO SHADS OF RED; SCARLET, AND CRIMSON. SPIRITUALLY I BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING THAT IS COVERED BY SIN IS RED. SCARLET IS A RED WITH A ORANGE TINT, AND CRIMSON IS A RED WITH A PURPLE TINT.

Is:1:18: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Is:1:19: If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Is:1:20: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

BELOVED OF GOD, DID ADAM DIE IN THE DAY THAT HE ATE OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT? YES, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL DIED. NOT ONLY DID ADAM DIE THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. BUT, ALL MANKIND WAS IN ADAM AT THE TIME THAT HE TRANSGRESSED GOD'S COMMANDMENT, AND BECAUSE OF OUR PHYSICAL UNION WITH ADAM; SIN WAS IMPUTED TO ALL MANKIND, AND THE SOULS OF ALL MANKIND DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. NOW WHEN A CHILD IS BORN INTO THE WORLD HE IS ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY.

1Cor:15:22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.(KJV)

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, THERE ARE MEN THAT PREACH, AND TEACH THAT A CHILD IS SANCTIFIED, AND FREE FROM SIN UNTIL THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY, BUT THAT IS HERESY. IF A CHILD IS BORN TO A PARENT THAT BELIEVES. THAT BELIEVING PARENT WILL SANCTIFY THE CHILD. BUT IF NEITHER PARENT BELIEVES, THAT CHILD BORN TO THEM IS UNCLEAN, BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM.

1Cor:7:13: And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

1Cor:7:14: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

BELOVED, OF GOD WHEN ADAM TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, AND SIN CAME INTO THE WORLD. SIN CONTAMINATED AND MADE UNCLEAN THE ANIMALS. ONLY THE ANIMALS THAT CHEWED THE CUD, AND WAS CLOVENFOOTED REMAINED CLEAN.

Lv:11:1: And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

Lv:11:2: Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

Lv:11:3: Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

Lv:11:4: Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

Lv:11:5: And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

Lv:11:6: And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

Lv:11:7: And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

Lv:11:8: Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

ALSO, SAINTS OF GOD, THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND IN THE RIVERS WERE POLLUTED. ONLY THOSE CREATURES THAT GOD HAD CREATED THAT HAD FINS, AND SCALES, REMAINED CLEAN.

Lv:11:9: These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

Lv:11:10: And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

Lv:11:11: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

YOU MAY WONDER, CHILD OF GOD, HOW THAT WE, THAT ARE CHRISTIANS, ARE ALLOWED TO EAT OF SUCH THINGS AS HOG, AND SQUIRREL, AND RABBIT, AND CATFISH. WHEN THE BLOOD OF CHRIST JESUS WAS SHED ON CALVARIES CROSS. THERE WAS A FOUNTAIN OPENED THERE THAT CLEANSES OUR FOOD. CHRIST JESUS EXPLAINED THIS TO THE APOSTLE PETER IN A VISION.

Acts:10:9: On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

Acts:10:10: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

Acts:10:11: And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

Acts:10:12: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

Acts:10:13: And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

Acts:10:14: But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

Acts:10:15: And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Acts:10:16: This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

LISTEN CAREFULLY, CHILDREN OF GOD, IF A MAN PREACHES THAT WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, ARE NOT TO EAT SUCH THINGS AS HOG, SQUIRREL, RABBIT, OR CATFISH HE IS PREACHING THE DOCTRINE OF THE DEVIL. FOR OUR FOOD IS CLEANSED BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THANKSGIVING.

1Tm:4:1: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1Tm:4:2: Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

1Tm:4:3: Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1Tm:4:4: For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

1Tm:4:5: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

1Tm:4:6: If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, SIN CAUSES A PERSON TREMENDOUS TROUBLE BOTH PHYSICALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY. WHEN A PERSON COMMITS A SIN, IT MAY BE THE SIN OF ADULTERY, OR WITCHCRAFT, OR MURDER. JUST BECAUSE A PERSON IS NOT PUNISHED WHEN HE COMMITS THE TRANSGRESSION; DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE HAS ESCAPED. FOR IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME THE PUNISHMENT WILL COME. FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.

Rom:6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (KJV)

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENT WHEN A PERSON SINS. THE SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENT IS CONTAMINATED, POLLUTED, MADE UNCLEAN. WE, SAINTS OF GOD, MAY NOT SEE A PERSON SIN, MAY NOT SEE THE ACTUAL ACT. BUT, WE CAN SEE THE EFFECTS OF SIN. ADULTERY CAUSES, BROKEN HOMES, AND DISEASE.

Lv:15:1: And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Lv:15:2: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.

Lv:15:3: And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.

Lv:15:4: Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.

SAINTS OF GOD, MURDER, AND THEFT CAUSES MEN TO BE IMPRISONED. IF A MAN IS HANGED FOR SOME TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW, THERE IS A CURSE OR SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION THAT COMES UPON THOSE THAT ARE HANGED ON A TREE.

Gal:3:11: But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Gal:3:12: And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Gal:3:13: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, MEN WOMEN, AND CHILDREN WENT OUT INTO ETERNITY WITHOUT HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. FROM THE TIME THAT ADAM TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, UNTIL MOSES DEATH REIGNED, THE SPIRITUAL DEATH REIGNED UPON ALL MANKIND. BUT WHEN MOSES WAS BORN, GOD CHOOSE HIM A PEOPLE, ISRAEL. AND, ALLOWED THEM TO PUT OFF THE SPIRITUAL DEATH, BY THE USE OF THE SCAPE GOAT; UNTIL CHRIST HANG UPON CALVARIES TREE. BUT THE SPIRITUAL DEATH REIGNED UPON THE GENTILE, FROM ADAM UNTIL CHRIST. BUT, WHEN CHRIST HANG ON CALVARIES CROSS, HE TORN DOWN THE PARTITION BETWEEN THE JEW, AND THE GENTILE, AND MADE OF THE TWO ONE NEW MAN IN CHRIST.

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:

REMEMBER THIS, HOLY CHILDREN, IN CHRIST JESUS IS WERE WE ARE RECONCILED TO GOD THE FATHER, IN THE BODY OF CHRIST IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST THAT CLEANSES US OF ALL SIN, IN CHRIST JESUS IS WERE THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS WORSHIP GOD, IN CHRIST JESUS IS THE SAVING TYPE FAITH, IN CHRIST JESUS IS WERE ETERNAL LIFE IS.

1Jn:5:10: He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

1Jn:5:11: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1Jn:5:12: He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

THEREFORE, SAINTS OF GOD, THE QUESTION MUST ARISE AS TO HOW DO WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, GET INTO CHRIST. WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD, ARE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST.

Gal:3:27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (KJV)

LITTLE CHILDREN, WHEN A PERSON IS BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE WATER OF OUR BAPTISM WASHES AWAY OUR SINS. ANANIAS, A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST, AFTER THE APOSTLE PAUL'S CONVERSION SAID THESE WORDS TO PAUL, AND NOW PAUL WHY TARRIEST THOU? ARISE AND BE BAPTIZED, AND WASH AWAY THY SINS.

Acts:22:16: And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

LISTEN CAREFULLY CHILDREN OF GOD, IF YOU WILL REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, FOR THE REMISSION OF SIN, TO GET RID OF SIN, TO BECOME CLEAN, THEN YOU WILL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF HOLY GHOST.

Acts:2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (KJV)

BELOVED, RECEIVING THE HOLY GHOST IS THE MOST WONDERFUL THING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IN THIS WORLD. WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST, THEY BECOME A NEW CREATURE, OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY, ALL THINGS BE COME NEW. WHEN THE HOLY GHOST COMES TO DWELL WITHIN A PERSON, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE. THAT PART OF A MAN COMES TO LIFE THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY.

2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, LOVE COMES TO DWELT WITHIN, POWER COMES, THE POWER TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. HOW CAN YOU TELL THE PERSON THAT HAS BEEN BORN AGAIN? THEY CAN LIVE ABOVE SIN.

1Jn:3:9: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (KJV)

BELOVED, WHEN THE HOLY GHOST COMES TO DWELL WITHIN A PERSON, THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMES TO DWELL WITHIN THAT PERSON. FOR WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST.

Rom:14:17: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (KJV)
