The five hearts
of redeemed humans.
INTRODUCTION:
Dear reader, once again
we are excited and very thankful to know that we are able,
and willing to obey our Lord in bringing through this media
a lesson from the good new to all hungering, searching,
honest souls.
As we
mentioned in our first pamphlet namely “The ten steps of
full and free salvation” that bad news travels fast, but all
thanks to God for making it possible that the good news can
travel even faster.
Yes, the
word of God is quick and sharper than any two-edged sword
Praise God.
One of the
ways in which God allows the good news to travel is through
people.
Having
mentioned that, may I ask you to Please allow God to use you
in the small way of passing on Prophecy of the Remnant to
some one else.
If you wish
not to part with your copy, please give our phone number to
all who you would like to receive a copy, or call us
yourself and request for a copy to be sent to them.
Just give
the person/s name and address and we would be more than
happy to get a copy out to them.
Our prayers
are; that God will use “Prophecy of the Remnant” to bless
the lives of all that read it in any way that may be
needed.
Please
allow God to show you from this what he wants you to know,
by you willingly opening yourself (mind) to him.
See Dear
one, as I guess you already may know: God will not force
himself on any one, as he has made man (human being)
all our own free agents.
Yes, God
will go no further in our lives than we allow him.
Again we
plead, give him your all.
We have
given God thanks for the response that we have received thus
far from some of the Dear Souls who have been reading
Prophecy of the Remnant, and we wish you all to know that
our prayers are always with you.
Special
thanks to the one, who called, but would not leave his name
or phone number.
Never the
less, we were glad to know that he read all of it.
We wish you
to know in a very special way that we love,
and are praying for your precious soul.
Thanks for
your words, they really gave us extra courage to fight on
with this good fight for our Lord, and we pray that soon you
will be where God wishes for you to be.
THE LESSON:
“The five hearts of the redeemed
human”
(We study from the KJV,)
Please get
your Bible.
The
redeemed human or in other words saved person is one that
has accepted Christ Jesus as their Savior.
They are
saved, justified, redeemed, or (bought back) whichever of
these ways it is said it means the same, forgiven, freed
from sin. Amen.
We realize
to bring this wonderful lesson or message we have here to
for a bit, to go into what could be called the second ABC
Bible lesson.
On the six
day of creation God made man. (Gen. 1:26 says, and God said,
let us (a plural, more than one) make man in
our (also means more than one) image, (to
be in mirror likeness) after our likeness…
In the 27
verse it is stated that God made man, and woman Adam and
Eve.
In the 28
Verse it is stated that God blessed them, and told them to
be fruitful, (abundant) and multiply, (increase)
and replenish (restock) the earth….
In Gen. 2:
8, it is stated that God planted a garden in the east of
Eden, and there, in the garden he placed the man he had made
to take care of that garden.
In the 16
Verse it is stated: And the Lord God commanded the man,
saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest (May)
freely eat:
Verse 17
but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou (you)
shalt (shall) not eat of it: for in the day that thou
eatest (eat) thereof thou shalt surely die.
Gen. 3: 1
says now the serpent was more Subtle, (sly,
ingenious) than any beast of the field that the Lord
God had made. And he said unto the woman, “Yea,
(yes) hath (have) God said ye (you)
shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”
In verses 2
the woman Eve told him: that they could eat of the
fruit of the trees of the garden.
In verse 3
she continues to tell him that God had told them not
to eat of it or touch it; or they would die.
In the
verse 4 the serpent told her: “ye shall not surely die.”
verses 5 “For God know that in the day ye eat thereof, then
your eyes shall be open, and ye shall be as gods knowing
good and evil.”
The 6 and 7
verse states that she picked the fruit, and gave some to her
husband, and their eyes were open and they knew that they
were naked.
They had
sinned, broken God’s command, so he turned them out of the
garden.
But all for that, God had
pity on them before he turned them out he covered them with
worm skins from some animal.
Now when
God told them that they would die, he was talking about
spiritual death. (Becoming separated from him)
But when
the Devil spoke to Eve he spoke of the physical death.
Now some
have, and do, think, and say that he was not lying, but he
was; for he well knew what death God was talking about, and
further more let us remember the devil can’t tell the
truth.
When God
made Adam and Eve he made them like him (holy, pure,
without sin)
But when
they sinned of course they were in sin, (fallen into
spiritual death.)
They
forfeited or (lost their rights.)
Lost their
rights, to what?
To the
likeness of God (his Holy nature)
The
flowerings are not directly a part of this lesson, but just
let’s take a peek into this thought.
This sin
committed by Adam and his wife Eve was not sex, as some say,
for dear friend recall what God told them even when they was
still pure, or holy?
He told
them in Gen. 1: 28 to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish
the earth.
This sounds
to me he gave the clearance to have sex, after all -how were
they to multiply?
Think on
this if you are not sure, and if you are, and think that we
have it wrong, p l e a s e do share your knowledge with us.
Let’s get
back to the main lesson.
Rom. 5: 12
says wherefore, as by one man, sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so death passed upon all man…
That sin
committed in the Garden of Eden, was the beginning of sin
now all humans born after Adam and Eve are born in their
likeness (sinful nature) not in God’s nature (Holy.)
Let us here
use the shape of a heart to represent the different
conditions of the soul of the redeemed human.
This
first diagram is to show the condition of Adam and Eve’s
heart before they
sinned.
The Pure, or
Holy Heart (Adam)
(Please
if you can, get your Bible, and read these flowering
scriptures for your self) we are using (KJV)
Gen.
1: 26, 27 states that God made man, (human) in his
likeness, and gave them dominion over all he had made on
the earth.
A
supporting scripture is Gen. 5: 1, 2 there in, it is made
clear that God made man and woman, and that he called them
Adam.
Why did he
not give them different names?
One
because he wanted Adam the male to give the woman her name
(Eve) and two in his creation of human there
is no different in quality. Amen.
Rom. 5: 12,
14 in verse12 states that through one man, sin entered into
the world, and death came by that sin, and was passed down
to all humans.
Now we all
know that it was the woman Eve who first picked the
forbidden fruit, but see God did not say Eve sinned, no he
said man sinned. (The two humans)
After all
that is just the way it was, for there is no record that she
forced the man to eat.
(Just a
thought) I often have thought on how God from the beginning
placed man to be the head of the family. (Leader, watchman,
provider, protector,) and in this I wondered why did Adam
the male (husband) allow Eve the female (wife) to wonder
away from him far, and long enough for her to be tempted by
the Devil.
Oh, what
great responsibility, God has given unto the husbands.
In verse14
clearly states that from the sin of Adam, all thereafter was
born in sin. (Having the sin nature)
All babies
are born with the sin nature.
The Heart
consisting of inherited sin.
(Infant) innocence
Look up
to the right there is the second diagram, which
represents the soul condition of the new -born baby.
Psa. 51: 5
make it clear that we were conceived, and born in, or with
the sinful nature.
Gen. 5:3
makes it clear that Adams offspring was born in his likeness
(sinful nature, note, not in God’s Holiness)
A
supporting scripture Gen. 8: 21 God himself said that human
heart was filled with sin for the youth.
The heart
of the human here spoken of, is not that muscle that can be
felt beating behind the left breast; which pumps blood
throughout the body, but that nature, soul, or mind of
the human.
Let’s look
in Rom. 5: 15-19 makes it clear that by the sin of one man
(Adam) sin (death) was passed on or inherited
in all humans.
But also
that by one man Christ Jesus all can be freed from
sin, by accepting the grace that Jesus made possible
(salvation, or justification of life.)
As long as a person does not accept Jesus as their personal
savior, after they come to the years of accountability
(being fully responsible for their sin) they are then a
sinner.
Some has
said, and may be there are still more saying “I am not a
sinner because I have not said, or done any acts of sin in
all my years.
Well, if
one finds this to be a part of their life, and are to full
accountability they still need forgiveness for the sin of
not accepting Christ Jesus as their Savior ever since they
came to accountability.
See dear
one our good deeds alone can’t make us right before God.
Christ
Jesus paid the price for our redemption, and we must
go through him to get eternal life in Heaven. Read John 10:
8, 9, and you will see that all other doors (ways of
entrance) are void, and that we must go through Jesus to
be saved, and only him. Amen.
Before
going into the third diagram, I would like to make it
clear that one there is no set age for a child
Becoming accountable for sin,
The word of
God does not state any, so there are not any.
We can look
at the difference in the development of children and see
that all are not alike in development in our eyes; much less
God’s all seeing.
Accountability does not mean that a child knows when they
are doing wrong.
Little
ones learn the words bad and good from the adults; just as
all others, somehow like a parrot, they will say whatever
they are taught.
The child
is fully to the years of accountability when on their own
they know, (understand the facts or truth)
not just that being bad is sin, but also knows that
there is a penalty for sin, and what the penalty is for sin.
Let us now
look at the third diagram that will help us to
know
Or
understand better the condition of Adam’s heart after the
fall and ours while we are in actual sin.
The heart
filled with actual (willful) sin
Ezek.18: 4.
God makes it clear that all souls are his, or in other words
what ever condition the soul is in he (God)
has the last say, and that the soul that sins that soul
dies.
Remember, first
it (the soul) dies the spiritual death,
(separated from God through sin) and if the
person dies (physically) in a sinful condition they
will eternally (for ever) be lost
(for ever separated from God)
Acts 3: 19
Admonishes the sinner to repent, when God is ready to save
your soul.
Please dear one, when the
Holy Spirit wants to save your soul please surrender to God.
Yes, God is a God of love
all praise to his Holy name, but see dear one he is a
jealous God Exo. 20: 5And his Spirit does not always
strive (1. Make earnest effort, 2. Contend) with
man (human beings)
In John 3: 3, 7
what Jesus said, to Nicodemus a ruler of the Jews; he says
to one and all of us: “You must be born again.” In verse 7
he reinforces what he said in verse 3.
By the way the word
verily in verse 3 means (truly.)
Oh how God pleads
with us about our soul, look in Isa. 1: 18, what a wonderful
offer, and promise combined.
Also in 1 John 1: 9 God
is again trying to make the world’s greatest bargain with
the sinner adjoined with an offer of its likeness.
We will now look at the
fourth diagram, which will give us an idea of what
takes place when a person becomes saved. (Justified)
The Heart that have been
Forgiven for, and
From actual sin,
Notice in
this the fourth diagram the tree that represents
actual sin has now been cut down to a stump.
Actual sin
is sin; one (a person) willfully commits.
“Is sin
still in the heart after one is saved?” One may ask.
“No, God
saves from sin. Amen.”
Thanks to
Jesus, there is no condemnation to any one who has been
truly saved, providing they keep saved. Please Read Rom.8:
1.
The stump
left in the heart represents the inherited sin nature from
Adam.
“Why it is
not diagramed like the second that also represents
the inherited sin?”
Because the
inherited sin in the infant is not molested, or acted upon
like it is in the person who has come to full
accountability.
1. Cor. 3:
1-3. Lets us know that when one has just received salvation,
(saved, or justified) one is still carnal.
(Having sensual or lustful desires)
Some think,
and some teach that these desires are sin, but I thank God
through Christ Jesus that temptation is not sin, Amen.
The carnal
condition is not a completely safe condition to be in
though.
Rom. 8: 6
says, “For to be carnally minded is death….”
Notice what
the great apostle Paul wrote under the power of the Holy
Spirit let’s look in 1 Cor. 3:1 he began to speak to the
breathing in Corinth, (those that were saved) what he
spoke to them is spoken to one and all.
He began to
address them by calling them brethren, telling them that he
could not speak to them, as spiritual (Sanctified,)
but he could only speak to them as carnal or just babes in
Christ.
Every soul
(Person) that truly wants to please God, and work for
him, and wishes to make Heaven their home should seek
sanctification.
Heb. 6: 1
admonishes one after being saved, not to go back to sin, but
to move unto perfection (becoming sanctified)
There is a great
cloud of witnesses in this great fight of salvation. (All
those that have gone on to be with the Lord forever and
those of us that are here; still being faithful to him)
This is
brought to our attention in this lesson, from Heb. 12: 1,
and therein we are also admonished again to lay aside the
weight, and sin, which so easily beset us (attack or
surround on all sides)
This sin spoken of
here is the inbred or inherited sin nature, and there is
only one way for anyone to obtain (get) power over
it, and that is to become sanctified (cleansed of it.)
Sanctification does not take away or free agency ship
(freedom of choice).
So yes, a
person can still go back into sin if they so chooses to, but
what sanctification does for a soul is a two-fold job.
One,
sanctification cleanses a person from the inherited sin,
which gives them more strength over sin.
Notice that
sanctification is a cleansing of the inherited sin,
not forgiveness for the inherited sin.
“Why
cleansing for the inherited sin and not forgiveness?”
“Because we
have not committed the inherited sin; but inherited it.”
Two,
sanctification enables the person to work for God.
Sanctification is the second work of grace done also by God,
as is justification, and can only be obtained (received)
after justification.
Rom: 12: 1,
2.again admonishes us to fully sacrifice our bodies Holy,
Acceptable, unto God, (be willing
to become sanctified) which is your reasonable
service.
Verse 2 states to us not
to be conformed (act like, or be similar) to this
world, but be transformed by the renewing (restoring)
of your mind.
See dear one, our future
all depends on us (the decision we make)
We are now about
to get into the last diagram in this study, but in no way
the least.
The fifth diagram
a heart that is fully sanctified places the soles of those
who accept it back like where Adam was before the fall in
the Garden of Eden.
Yes, in the eyes of God
as long as a person obtains (gets) and remains in
this category they are holy before God.
The heart of
The pure and holy
May we expound a little more on a
person reaching this wonderful condition
namely sanctification.
Look in Psa.
51: 7 David asked God to purge (make pure from the
inside) him with hyssop (with represents the blood of
Christ Jesus) and he goes on to say, “And I shall be
whiter than snow.”
Only the
cleansing blood of Christ Jesus can make a person that
clean.
1 John 3: 3
encourages us that if we have the hope of having Christ
Jesus as our savior we will purify (willingly surrender
our selves to God.)
Luke 6: 40
makes it clear that we the disciples of Jesus
(Christians) are not above God, every one after becoming
a child of God shall be like him (holy, pure, free from
sin,) Amen.
2 Tim. 2:
20, 21 makes it clear that not every one who
becomes justified will becomes sanctified, (vessels of
honor) but if a person honestly, seeks to be fully clean
(sanctified) they will then become meet for the
master’s use. (Spiritually able to work for God)
But let us
mention here dear one that if a person learns of the second
work of grace, and refuses to accept it they have committed
the sin of omission, (refusing to do what you could have
done) rebellion, (in this case resisting God.)
In Heb. 10:
14, 15 reads “For by one offering he (Jesus) hath
(have) perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
This
offering is the death Jesus died on the cross, it was and
offering once and for all, because none other was capable to
make that offering, and also because he willingly laid his
life down that you and I may be saved from everlasting
torment.
He
perfecting does not mean that once saved, always saved.
It is
stating that Christ Jesus through his death, have guaranteed
to make perfect (to be able to live a holy life) to
whosoever is sanctified.
In verse 15
we are told that the Holy Ghost (spirit) also is a
witness to us.
If a person
is claming to be fully saved and the Holy Ghost or Holy
Spirit does not witness to them…. Let’s see what the
scriptures (Bible) say concerning that.
Rom. 8:
9….”Now, if any man (human being) has not the Spirit
of Christ, he is none of his.”
