MINISTERS OF THE NEW COVENANT THAT GOD WROTE ON THE TABLET OF OUR HEART!

 ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)

AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)

BUT AS FOR YOU, CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE BECOME CONVINCED OF, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THOSE FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT, AND HOW FROM INFANCY YOU HAVE KNOWN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SPIRITUAL SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. 

ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim. 3:14-17)

MINISTERS OF THE NEW COVENANT

BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHO ALWAYS LEADS US IN TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION IN CHRIST AND THROUGH US SPREADS EVERYWHERE THE FRAGRANCE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST. FOR WE ARE TO GOD THE AROMA OF CHRIST AMONG THOSE WHO ARE BEING SAVED AND THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING. TO THE ONE WE ARE THE SMELL OF DEATH; TO THE OTHER, THE FRAGRANCE OF LIFE. AND WHO IS EQUAL TO SUCH A TASK? UNLIKE SO MANY, WE DO NOT PEDDLE THE WORD OF GOD FOR PROFIT. ON THE CONTRARY, IN CHRIST WE SPEAK BEFORE GOD WITH SINCERITY, LIKE MEN SENT FROM GOD.

YOU YOURSELVES ARE OUR LETTER, WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS, KNOWN AND READ BY EVERYBODY. YOU SHOW THAT YOU ARE A LETTER FROM CHRIST, THE RESULT OF OUR MINISTRY, WRITTEN NOT WITH INK BUT WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD, NOT ON TABLETS OF STONE BUT ON TABLETS OF HUMAN HEARTS. 

SUCH CONFIDENCE AS THIS IS OURS THROUGH CHRIST BEFORE GOD. NOT THAT WE ARE COMPETENT IN OURSELVES TO CLAIM ANYTHING FOR OURSELVES, BUT OUR COMPETENCE COMES FROM GOD. GOD HAS MADE US COMPETENT AS MINISTERS OF A NEW COVENANT-NOT OF THE LETTER BUT OF THE SPIRIT; FOR THE LETTER KILLS, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE. (2 Cor.2:14-3:2-6)

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN CHRIST IN THE WORLD.

APOSTLES OF CHRIST

SO THEN, MEN OUGHT TO REGARD US AS SERVANTS OF CHRIST AND AS THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH THE SECRET THINGS OF GOD.

"NOW" IT IS REQUIRED THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TRUST MUST PROVE FAITHFUL. I CARE VERY LITTLE IF I AM JUDGE BY YOU OR BY ANY HUMAN COURT; INDEED, I DO NOT EVEN JUDGE MYSELF. MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME INNOCENT. IT IS THE LORD WHO JUDGES ME. (1 Cor.4:1-4)

BUT AS SURELY AS GOD IS FAITHFUL, OUR MESSAGE TO YOU IS NOT "YES" AND "NO." FOR THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS PREACHED AMONG YOU BY ME AND SILAS AND TIMOTHY, WAS NOT "YES" AND "NO," BUT IN CHRIST IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN "YES." FOR NO MATTER HOW MANY PROMISES GOD HAS MADE, THEY ARE "YES" IN CHRIST.

AND SO THROUGH CHRIST THE "AMEN" IS SPOKEN BY US TO THE GLORY OF GOD. NOW IT IS GOD WHO MAKES BOTH US AND YOU STAND FIRM IN CHRIST. GOD ANOINTED US, SET GOD'S SEAL OF OWNERSHIP ON US, AND PUT GOD'S SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS AS A DEPOSIT, GUARANTEEING WHAT IS TO COME. (2 Cor.1:18-22)

THOSE WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDS LIVE IN GOD, AND GOD IN THEM. AND THIS IS HOW WE KNOW THAT GOD LIVES IN US: WE KNOW IT BY THE SPIRIT GOD GAVE US. (1 John 3:24)

WE ARE FROM GOD, AND WHOEVER KNOWS GOD LISTENS TO US; BUT WHOEVER IS NOT FROM GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. THIS IS HOW WE RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND THE SPIRIT OF FALSEHOOD. (1 John 4:6)

NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD; BUT IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND GOD'S LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US.

WE KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN GOD AND GOD IN US, BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN US OF GOD'S SPIRIT. AND WE HAVE SEEN AND TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. (1John 4:12-14)

CAN I GET AN AMEN FROM ALL WHO CALL ON GOD. AMEN!

TODAY I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD, GOD HAS PUT HIS LAWS IN MY HEART AND GOD HAS WROTE THEM ON MY MIND. MY COVENANT WITH GOD IS MY PERSONAL PATHWAY TO GOD. BY SPEAKING THE WORDS OF THIS COVENANT OUT OF MY MOUTH BACK INTO MY HEART IT STRENGTHEN MY FAITH.

AS YOU COME TO CHRIST, THE LIVING STONE - REJECTED BY MEN BUT CHOSEN BY GOD AND PRECIOUS TO GOD - YOU ALSO, LIKE LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE TO BE A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, OFFERING SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

FOR IN SCRIPTURE IT SAYS: "SEE, I LAY A STONE IN ZION, A CHOSEN AND PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, AND THE ONE WHO TRUST IN CHRIST WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME." (1 Peter2:4-6)

CHRIST WAS CHOSEN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, BUT WAS REVEALED IN THESE LAST TIMES FOR YOUR SAKE. THROUGH CHRIST YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD AND GLORIFIED CHRIST, AND SO YOUR FAITH AND HOPE ARE IN GOD. (1 Peter 1:20-21)

I AM CHRIST LIKE AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED BY GOD , AND I AM THE FIRSTBORN OF MANY BROTHERS AND I AM A CHILD OF GOD, AND I WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!

"YET A TIME IS COMING AND HAS "NOW" COME WHEN TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT  AND TRUTH, FOR THEY ARE THE KIND OF WORSHIPERS THE FATHER SEEKS. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND GOD WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24)

MOSES DESCRIBES IN THIS WAY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY LAW: "THE MAN WHO DOES THESE THINGS WILL LIVE BY THEM." BUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH SAYS: "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU; IT IS IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART," THAT IS, THE WORD OF FAITH WE ARE PROCLAIMING!

 ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)

AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)

ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim. 3:14-17)

MOSES DESCRIBES IN THIS WAY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY LAW: "THE MAN WHO DOES THESE THINGS WILL LIVE BY THEM." BUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH SAYS: "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU; IT IS IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART," THAT IS, THE WORD OF FAITH  WE ARE PROCLAIMING: THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, "JESUS IS LORD," AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED. FOR IT IS WITH YOUR HEART THAT YOU BELIEVE AND ARE JUSTIFIED, AND IT IS WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT YOU CONFESS AND ARE SAVED. 

AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "ANYONE WHO TRUST IN CHRIST WILL NOT BE PUT SHAME." FOR THER IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JEW AND GENTILE-THE SAME LORD IS LORD OF ALL AND RICHLY BLESSES ALL WHO COME TO HIM, FOR, "EVERYONE WHO CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." 

HOW, THEN, CAN THEY CALL ON THE ONE THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED IN? AND HOW CAN THEY BELIEVE IN ONE OF WHOM THEY HAVE NOT HEARD? AND HOW CAN THEY HEAR WITHOUT SOMEONE PREACHING TO THEM? AND HOW CAN THEY PREACH UNLESS THEY ARE SENT? AS IT IS WRITTEN, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS!" CONSEQUENTLY, FAITH COMES FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE, AND THE MESSAGE IS HEARD THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST. (Rom.10:5-15,17)

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN CHRIST IN THE WORLD.

SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN CHRIST

PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO HAS BLESSED US IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN CHRIST. FOR GOD CHOSE US IN CHRIST BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD TO BE HOLY AND BLAMELESS IN GOD'S SIGHT. IN LOVE GOD PREDESTINED US TO BE ADOPTED AS GOD'S SONS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S PLEASURE AND WILL- TO THE PRAISE OF GOD'S GLORIOUS GRACE, WHICH GOD HAS FREELY GIVEN US IN THE ONE GOD LOVES.

IN CHRIST WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH CHRIST BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RICHES OF GOD'S GRACE THAT GOD LAVISHED ON US WITH ALL WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. AND GOD MADE KNOWN TO US THE MYSTERY OF GOD'S WILL ACCORDING TO GOD'S GOOD PLEASURE, WHICH GOD PURPOSED IN CHRIST, TO BE PUT ONTO EFFECT WHEN THE TIMES WILL HAVE REACHED THEIR FULFILLMENT- TO BRING ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH TOGETHER UNDER ONE HEAD, EVEN CHRIST. 

IN CHRIST WE WERE CHOSEN, HAVING BEEN PREDESTINED ACCORDING TO THE PLAN OF GOD WHO WORKS OUT EVERYTHING IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PURPOSE OF GOD'S WILL, IN ORDER THAT WE, WHO WERE THE FIRST TO HOPE IN CHRIST, MIGHT BE FOR THE PRAISE OF CHRIST'S GLORY. AND YOU ALSO WERE INCLUDED IN CHRIST WHEN YOU HEARD THE WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SPIRITUAL SALVATION.

HAVING BELIEVED, YOU WERE MARKED IN CHRIST WITH A SEAL, THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT, WHO IS A DEPOSIT GUARANTEEING OUR INHERITANCE UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THOSE WHO ARE GOD'S POSSESSION- TO THE PRAISE OF GOD'S GLORY. (Eph.1:3-14)

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN CHRIST IN THE WORLD.

BUT WHEN THE KINDNESS AND LOVE OF GOD OUR SAVIOR APPEARED, GOD SAVED US, NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE, BUT BECAUSE OF GOD'S MERCY!

 ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)

AND GOD HAS COMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)

MY DEAR CHILDREN, I WRITE THIS TO YOU SO THAT YOU WILL NOT SIN, BUT IF ANYBODY DOES SIN, WE HAVE ONE WHO SPEAKS TO THE FATHER IN OUR DEFENSE - JESUS CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUS ONE. JESUS IS THE ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS, AND NOT ONLY FOR OURS BUT ALSO FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. (1 John 2:1-2)

BUT WHEN THE KINDNESS AND LOVE OF GOD OUR SAVIOR APPEARED, GOD SAVED US, NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE, BUT BECAUSE OF GOD'S MERCY, SO THAT, HAVING BEEN DECLARED RIGHTEOUS BY GOD'S GRACE, WE MIGHT BECOME HEIRS HAVING THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE.

THIS IS A TRUSTWORTHY SAYING. AND I WANT YOU TO STRESS THESE THINGS, SO THAT THOSE WHO HAVE TRUSTED IN GOD MAY BE CAREFUL TO DEVOTE THEMSELVES TO DOING WHAT IS GOOD. THESE THINGS ARE PROFITABLE FOR EVERYONE. (Titus 3:4-8) 

BECAUSE YOU ARE SONS, GOD SENT THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS, THE SPIRIT WHO CALLS OUT, "Abba, FATHER." SO YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE, BUT A SON; AND SINCE YOU ARE A SON, GOD HAS MADE YOU ALSO AN HEIR. (Gal.4:6-7)

AND IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD IS LIVING IN YOU, GOD WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES THROUGH GOD'S SPIRIT WHO LIVE IN YOU. (Rom. 8:11)

APOSTLES OF CHRIST

SO THEN, MEN OUGHT TO REGARD US AS SERVANTS OF CHRIST AND AS THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH THE SECRET THINGS OF GOD.

"NOW" IT IS REQUIRED THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TRUST MUST PROVE FAITHFUL. I CARE VERY LITTLE IF I AM JUDGE BY YOU OR BY ANY HUMAN COURT; INDEED, I DO NOT EVEN JUDGE MYSELF. MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME INNOCENT. IT IS THE LORD WHO JUDGES ME. (1 Cor.4:1-4)

BUT AS SURELY AS GOD IS FAITHFUL, OUR MESSAGE TO YOU IS NOT "YES" AND "NO." FOR THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS PREACHED AMONG YOU BY ME AND SILAS AND TIMOTHY, WAS NOT "YES" AND "NO," BUT IN CHRIST IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN "YES." FOR NO MATTER HOW MANY PROMISES GOD HAS MADE, THEY ARE "YES" IN CHRIST.

AND SO THROUGH CHRIST THE "AMEN" IS SPOKEN BY US TO THE GLORY OF GOD. NOW IT IS GOD WHO MAKES BOTH US AND YOU STAND FIRM IN CHRIST. GOD ANOINTED US, SET GOD'S SEAL OF OWNERSHIP ON US, AND PUT GOD'S SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS AS A DEPOSIT, GUARANTEEING WHAT IS TO COME. (2 Cor.1:18-22)

THOSE WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDS LIVE IN GOD, AND GOD IN THEM. AND THIS IS HOW WE KNOW THAT GOD LIVES IN US: WE KNOW IT BY THE SPIRIT GOD GAVE US. (1 John 3:24)

WE ARE FROM GOD, AND WHOEVER KNOWS GOD LISTENS TO US; BUT WHOEVER IS NOT FROM GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. THIS IS HOW WE RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND THE SPIRIT OF FALSEHOOD. (1 John 4:6)

NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD; BUT IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND GOD'S LOVE IS MAND COMPLETE IN US.

WE KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN GOD AND GOD IN US, BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN US OF GOD'S SPIRIT. AND WE HAVE SEEN AND TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. (1John 4:12-14)

CAN I GET AN AMEN FROM ALL WHO CALL ON GOD. AMEN!

TODAY I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD, GOD HAS PUT HIS LAWS IN MY HEART AND GOD HAS WROTE THEM ON MY MIND. MY COVENANT WITH GOD IS MY PERSONAL PATHWAY TO GOD. BY SPEAKING THE WORDS OF THIS COVENANT OUT OF MY MOUTH BACK INTO MY HEART IT STRENGTHEN MY FAITH.

AS YOU COME TO CHRIST, THE LIVING STONE - REJECTED BY MEN BUT CHOSEN BY GOD AND PRECIOUS TO GOD - YOU ALSO, LIKE LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE TO BE A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, OFFERING SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

FOR IN SCRIPTURE IT SAYS: "SEE, I LAY A STONE IN ZION, A CHOSEN AND PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, AND THE ONE WHO TRUST IN CHRIST WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME." (1 Peter2:4-6)

CHRIST WAS CHOSEN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, BUT WAS REVEALED IN THESE LAST TIMES FOR YOUR SAKE. THROUGH CHRIST YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD AND GLORIFIED CHRIST, AND SO YOUR FAITH AND HOPE ARE IN GOD. (1 Peter 1:20-21)

I AM CHRIST LIKE AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED BY GOD , AND I AM THE FIRSTBORN OF MANY BROTHERS AND I AM A CHILD OF GOD, AND I WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!

"YET A TIME IS COMING AND HAS "NOW" COME WHEN TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT  AND TRUTH, FOR THEY ARE THE KIND OF WORSHIPERS THE FATHER SEEKS. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND GOD WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24)

THIS SCRIPTURE (1 Peter 3:15-20) IS LIKE A HANDBOOK WRITTEN FOR A AMBASSADOR TO A HOSTILE FOREIGN LAND!

ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)

AND GOD HAS COMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)

BUT IN YOUR HEARTS SET APART CHRIST AS LORD. ALWAYS BE PREPARED TO GIVE AN ANSWER TO EVERYONE WHO ASKS YOU TO GIVE THE REASON FOR THE HOPE THAT YOU HAVE. BUT DO THIS WITH GENTLENESS AND RESPECT, KEEPING A CLEAR CONSCIENCE, SO THAT THOSE WHO SPEAK MALICIOUSLY AGAINST YOUR GOOD BEHAVIOR IN CHRIST MAY BE ASHAMED OF THEIR SLANDER. 

IT IS BETTER, IF IT IS GOD'S WILL, TO SUFFER FOR DOING GOOD THAN FOR DOING EVIL. FOR CHRIST DIED FOR SINS ONCE FOR ALL, THE RIGHTEOUS FOR THE UNRIGHTEOUS, TO BRING YOU TO GOD. CHRIST WAS PUT TO DEATH IN THE BODY BUT MADE ALIVE BY THE SPIRIT, THROUGH THE SPIRIT ALSO CHRIST WENT AND PREACHED TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON WHO DISOBEYED LONG AGO WHEN GOD WAITED PATIENTLY IN THE DAYS OF NOAH WHILE THE ARK WAS BEING BUILT. (1 Peter 3:15-20)

THIS SCRIPTURE IS LIKE A HANDBOOK WRITTEN FOR A  AMBASSADOR TO A HOSTILE FOREIGN LAND. KNOWING THAT THE DEVIL IS OUR ENEMY AND EVIL WILL ARISE. THIS SCRIPTURE, CAREFULLY PRESCRIBES THE CONDUCT DESIGNED TO BRING HONOR TO THE ONE GOD WE REPRESENT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SCRIPTURE IS TO ENCOURAGE BELIEVERS TO FACE THE PERSECUTION OF THE DEVIL, SO THAT THE TRUE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST WOULD BE EVIDENCED IN THEM.
