JOHN 4:23
|
23) But the hour cometh,
and now is when the true
worshippers shall worship
the FATHER in spirit and in
truth; for the FATHER
seeketh such to worship him
24) GOD is a Spirit; and they
that worship him must
worship him in spirit and in
truth
|
WORSHIPPING IN SPIRIT
AND IN TRUTH
The true worship takes
place in Spirit and truth, that
is according to GOD’s
revelation of himself in the
SON JESUS CHRIST, which
involves human spirit, as well
as the indwelling and
manifestation of the HOLY
SPIRIT
*One must come to GOD in
complete sincerity and with a
spirit that is directed by life
and activity of the HOLY
SPIRIT
*The way men worship GOD
will radically change, which
refers to the death and the
coming of the Holy Spirit that
GOD’S presence dwells and
lives in the heart of his
people
SEEKETH SUCH TO WORSHIP
HIM
The time of reformation has
now come, when true
worshippers of GOD shall
offer up to him a more
spiritual worship, not carnally
worshiping him with mere
bodily labor and honor, but
with their heart and spirit

favor of GOD for the
remission of sin and pardon
of sin, The declaration of love
and grace of GOD to all men,

GOD grace comes through
JESUS CHRIST

All that JESUS CHRIST is, the
very fullness of his being, is
given to us who believe- all
his love, joy, peace, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self control we
are complete in him
*Its being JESUS CHRIST who
is the truth; and being
revealed and led by the Spirit
of truth

JESUS all the fullness dwells:
The sum total of all that is in
GOD:
1 COR.1 :30

THE NEW BIRTH ALONGs
WITH GOD’S GREAT LOVE
The new birth is a spiritual
birth, the birth of a new
power and spirit in life
REGENERATION
JESUS introduced the
doctrine of the Christian
faith, the spiritual rebirth or
regeneration.
Without the new birth one
cannot seek the kingdom of
GOD and receive eternal life
and salvation through JESUS
CHRIST, which is based on:
*Regeneration- is a re
creating of spiritual life in
the human heart by GOD the
Holy Spirit
*Regeneration- comes to
those who repent of sin turn
to GOD and put their faith in
the LORD JESUS CHRIST for
Salvation
*Regeneration- involves a
turning away from an old
life of sin to a new life of
loving and obedience to
JESUS CHRIST
Regeneration- is because all
people, before turning to
JESUS CHRIST, are in their
natural life, are sinners who
are spiritually dead, who are
incapable of pleasing or
obeying GOD
THOSE BORN OF GOD
Cannot make sin a habitual
practice in their lives, as
believers, one desires are
changed so as to love GOD
sincerely from the heart to
please GOD and avoid evil. It
is accomplished only
through the grace given to
believers by JESUS CHRIST by
continuous and sustained
relationship with JESUS
CHRIST
The new birth cannot be
compared to physical birth,
for GOD’s relationship with
the believer is a matter of
spirit not flesh who continue
living the world’s lifestyle.
*Not minding what they
confess in their lips,
demonstrate and if they are
not regenerated there are
the children of SATAN

JOHN 6:26-27
|
26) JESUS answered them
and said, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, ye seek me, not
because ye saw the miracles,
but because ye did eat of the
loaves, and were filled
27) Labor not for the meat,
which perisheth, but for that
meat which endureth unto
everlasting life, which the
Son of man shall give unto
you, for him hath GOD the
FATHER sealed
28) Then said they unto him,
what shall we do, that we
might work the work of GOD
29) JESUS answered and said
unto them, this is the work of
GOD, that ye believe on him
whom he hath sent.

THE WRONG MOTIVE TO
SEEK GOD:
The world and religionist
seek ( Messiah) JESUS but
not to worship and serve
him, they seek GOD(JESUS)
for what they can get from
him:
*They are interested in
getting their needs met,
either by some human or
divine means , they are
interested in themselves, not
in reference and honoring of
JESUS CHRIST and making
him known to the lost world
*The religionist are majority
of the crowd in the
congregation is more
concerned to be saved from
hunger and their needs met>

JOHN 6:53-57
|
51) I am the living bread
which came down from
heaven, if any man eat of this
bread that I will give is my
flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world
52) The Jews therefore
strove among themselves,
saying, how can this man give
us his flesh to eat
53) Then JESUS said unto
them, Verily, Verily, I say
unto you, except ye eat the
flesh of the Son of man, and
drink his blood, ye have no
life in you
54) Whoso eateth my flesh,
and drinketh my blood, hath
eternal life; and I will raise
him up at the last day
55) For my flesh is meat
indeed, and my blood is drink
indeed
56) He that eateth my flesh
and drinketh my blood
dwelleth in me, and I in him
57) As the living FATHER
hath sent me, and I live by
the FATHER so he that eateth
me, even he shall live by me

SALVATION OF THE WORLD
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
DEATH AND RESURRECTION
The benefit of the sacrifice,
JESUS CHRIST this bread,
which represents his body
given in death to save the
world.
EATS MY FLESH AND DRINK
MY BLOOD We receive
spiritual life by believing in
JESUS CHRIST and continue
to have spiritual life as we
remain in fellowship with
CHRIST and his word, which
was spoken by JESUS the
“WORD” I have spoken to
you are spirit and they are
life, we really share in JESUS
CHRIST as we continue to
have faith and study the
word and prayerfully receive
his word.
THE LORD JESUS came to
prepare spiritual food for
man to have eternal life, if
any eat of the bread as
conditional for life eternal.
JESUS AS THE LIVING WORD
THE BIBLE WRITTEN WORD
*JESUS is the living word
JOHN 1 :1-5
1 JOHN 1:1
The bible as the written
word of GOD
2 TIMOTHY 3:16
JESUS Called himself the
bread of life and relate in
*MAT.4:4- man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every
word that proceeded out of
the Mouth of GOD.
*That means we eat his flesh
by remaining in him and by
receiving and obeying the
word of GOD.
*We continue to be saved
by the regenerating power
power by hearing and
continue in the word and
doctrine of JESUS CHRIST
*The clear condition is any
person who does not go on
feeding on the bread of
life(JESUS CHRIST) will not
have life eternal.

JOHN 6:63
|
63) It is the SPIRIT that
quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing; the words
that I speak unto you, they
are spirit, and they are life
|
HOLY SPIRIT QUICKENS
It is the Spirit that *quicken,
the Sprit of GOD that
sinners, by entering into
them as the Spirit of life, and
causing them to live, and it is
Spiritual eating or eating of
flesh, and drinking blood of
JESUS CHRIST in a Spiritual
sense, which quickens,
refreshes, and comforts the
minds of believers
For man live not by meat,
bread or flesh alone, but by
the word and blessing of
GOD .
*The word that JESUS speak
, they are Spirit, and they are
life; the doctrine of JESUS
CHRIST concerning himself,
his flesh and blood being
spiritually understood, are
the means of quickens souls,
the gospel and the truth and
the understanding of it, are
means of quickening soul
*The Gospel, and the truths
of it, which are the word of
JESUS CHRIST, are the means
of conveying the Spirit of
GOD, as Spirit of illumination
in the heart of men.
