DEAL TRULY

* They that deal truly are HIS delight. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Prove the sincerity of your love. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Keep thy heart with all diligence. Deal with Thy servant according unto Thy mercy, and teach me Thy statutes. Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve HIM in sincerity and in truth. They that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth. God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son.
* Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands. if ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you. 
* In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity. As newborn babes, Desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. According as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the Father chasteneth not? 
* The wisdom that is from above is first pure - and without hypocrisy. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck.
* But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. Look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 
* Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. We may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.  
* And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. Because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully. Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
* Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. 
* He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly. Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. Therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
* Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord. Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against ME, saith the Lord. But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? They have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have begotten strange children. The men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech.  Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? 
* And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me.  Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. But let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord. Seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. The Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant. For it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly.  We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly. We have dealt very corruptly against THEE, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to THY commandments. And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.  I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. 
* I will sing unto the Lord, because HE hath dealt bountifully with me. Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with the good. Deal bountifully with Thy servant, that I may live, and keep Thy word. Thou hast dealt well with Thy servant, O Lord, according unto Thy word. Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in Thy precepts. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise THY name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently, HE shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, 

in the days that I shall deal with thee? 

I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.

NOW HEAR THIS!

How can a sinful man or woman be fully prepared to meet their Holy Creator with inflexible divine justice? Every man and woman has sinned against God and His divine Laws and Statutes, and every sinner must make reparations to the broken divine Law. God would not accept an angel as a Substitute for the Law had been by man, the entire human race had revolted against their Maker. For there is not a just man upon the earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. God's divine Justice must be vindicated through One of the human race. 

But there was a stern dilemma: The WORD dwelt with God the Father in Eternity, and The Word was God. But how could the WORD OF LIFE become the Savior of the world? Behold the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh. He condescended to the manger of Bethlehem, and had to nurse from a Jewish virgin's bosom. Forasmuch then as sinners are partakers of flesh and blood, JESUS also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death, He might destroy that had the power of death, that is, the devil. And deliver sinners who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 

Dear sinner, behold your Incarnate Creator, The Eternal God, dwells among sinful dying men, veiled in mortal flesh, that He could save sinful men. This is the greatest message ever heard in human ears and hearts. The fullness of the Godhead and manhood in one person. God Incarnate came down from heaven to lift the ungodly from the dunghill of sin up to heavenly places with God. It is the Sin of sins to reject to King of Glory who stooped so far in order to be perfectly qualified to save sinners. 

To lift us up to heaven, JESUS stooped down to rescue sinners out of the horrible pit, out of the miry clay of sins and iniquities. He made the worlds and framed them by His words, yet He slept in Bethlehem's manger wrapped in swaddling clothes. He hung the stars in their places, counted them, and called them all by their names. He laid the beams of the entire universe, yet the holy child whose name was JESUS grew up here on Earth as the stepson of a carpenter. He gave up all His heavenly rank and dignity for Love's dear sake. He grew up and consented to be the Servant of servants, and made Himself of no reputation. He gave up all ease and comfort, He took the lowest place, He was despised and rejected of men. He had no where to lay His head. He bare His back to the smiters, so the chastisement of our Peace could fall upon Him. 

We are utterly lost in sin, so JESUS had to die a horrible death for us. JESUS saved others, Himself could not save. He lived an obscure life as a carpenter's son. He is the Creator without Whom was not anything made that was made. He is the Preserver of all things, and by Him all things consist. He made and currently sustains the Universe by the word of His power. The Word of Life dwelt here among us, He clothed Himself in mortal flesh, the Godhead staring through human eyes, speaking with a human tongue. The winds knew Him and obeyed Him, the stormy waves knew Him, they humbled themselves before Him and kissed His feet. The angels ministered unto Him, and the devils fled from Him. He healed diseases with His gentle words and with His omnipotent touch. His Almighty Voice raised Lazarus from the dead. He was God in human flesh, but to the human eye, He was only the carpenter's stepson. He pleased the Father in all things during His obscure and public life. He was railed upon, called every name in the book, included a blasphemer and deceiver; reproach broke His heart. 

Sin is such a hateful thing to God, that when the Father laid the sins of the whole world upon His dear Son by Imputation, the Father could not look upon the Son, but bruised and smote Him until He cried, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? The Father laid on the Son the iniquity of us all. The Father hath made JESUS to be Sin for us, Who knew no sin, yet it pleased the Father to bruise the Son. JESUS by the grace of God tasted death for every man. He bore the Curse that was due to sinners, because He stood in the sinner's place and suffered in the sinner's stead. 

At the Cross while He was nailed and suffering for their sins, upon His vesture, sinful men cast lots, He gave up the last rag He had, He gave all esteem for sinners.  He gave His All for sinners like us: He gave His body to the scourge and nails, His ears to mocking and jeering, His brow to a crown of thorns, His face to spitting and buffeting, and when He could give no more, He gave His most tender heart to a cruel spear. At the last, He offered up Himself, and at the last, He laid down His sinless life, and cried, It is Finished! They took down His mangled body from the Cross, and laid it in a borrowed grave. But on the third, God raised JESUS from the dead.

The Divine Justice of God could never be fully satisfied until One with an infinite nature became the Propitiation for human sins. JESUS offered the final eternal satisfaction to Divine Justice for all my sins: He is my Propitiation, my Atonement, my Lamb. His Soul was exceeding sorrowful even unto death. His Precious Blood is the infinitely satisfying Atonement to the Father, for me. JESUS took the rap for me. Christ and the sinner changed places: Christ became SIN, and the sinner is made RIGHTEOUS by Faith in the Sin-Bearer, The Lamb of God.

Jesus died instead of sinners, He bore our sins in His own body, The Father laid on Him the iniquity of us all. The Innocent Sufferer died in the culprit's place, and the worst culprit is You. Jesus became Sin itself for us, then He suffered God's wrath on human sin instead of guilty Me. If you do not have a God to trust in, or a Savior to believe in, you may seek JESUS now. If you seek Him, you will find HIM, He will freely give you redemption, the forgiveness of sins, rest, peace with God, and eternal life, to boot. He will never cast you out. For whosoever believeth in JESUS is saved on the spot eternally, Whosoever trusts in Christ's Precious Blood is saved in an instant. Immediate Pardon and Eternal Salvation belongs to every Soul that their Hope completely upon the Finished Work (Suffering, Blood and Righteousness) of The Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh.

Lord Jesus, I am willing to have your Light and Salvation wrought in me, I want You to rid of my darkness and evil deeds, I am willing to receive You into my heart, into my very inward parts. I give up myself and whatever I know, I repent of what I am, what I've done, and I trust in You only. I take You, The Bleeding Lamb of God, The Light of Heaven, to be the Light, Salvation and Comfort of my Soul. Lamb of God, I want all my sins laid on You, for only You can take them away. I have no righteousness of my own to claim or to boast of. I submit to Your Righteousness. I trust to YOU completely as suffering, bleeding and dying in my place to make Atonement for all my sins and guilt. I rely upon You to make full recompense to the injured violated Divine Justice, and the broken Laws of God. At the Cross, my Soul sees Divine Justice satisfied, the Law honored, and my guilty Soul set free, absolved and purged of all my sins. The fire of avenging Divine Justice spent itself on the Lamb of God, and the Law exhausted its rigorous demands upon the person of JESUS CHRIST who was made a Curse for us, and that I could be made the Righteousness of God in Him, and now Mercy flows from His Precious Atoning Blood to me. 

LIGHT OR DARKNESS?

Thy word is a Lamp unto my feet, and a LIGHT unto my path. The Commandment of the LORD is Pure, Enlightening the eyes. The Commandment is a Lamp, and the Law is LIGHT. For by the Law is the Knowledge of Sin. Sin is the transgression of the Law. I had not known sin, but by the Law: for I had not known lust, except the Law had said, Thou Shalt Not Covet. Sin will deeply damage and eternally damn your Soul; JESUS will heal and save your Soul. 

I urge and compel you to Escape for your life, look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all your sins, Escape to the Cross, let you be be consumed, flee from your present bondage and the wrath to come, for your love for Sinning will inevitably doom you; Flee now to JESUS for sure Safety. JESUS gently urges you again to Look to HIM and Live, and HE tenderly persuades you to be Saved.

The Entrance of THY words giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the simple. The people that walked in darkness have seen a GREAT LIGHT: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the LIGHT shined. If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is NO LIGHT in them. While ye have The LIGHT, Believe in The LIGHT. The eyes of your understanding being Enlightened.

Great Light, Marvellous Light, 

Light of the world, True Light, 

Light of Life, Dayspring from on high,

The Day Star, The Bright and Morning Star

The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death LIGHT is sprung up. Through the Tender Mercy of our God; whereby the DAYSPRING from on high that visited us. To give LIGHT to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. The way of peace they have not known. The LIGHT of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of LIGHT; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the LIGHT which is in thee be not darkness. To be enlightened with the LIGHT of the living. 

The whole world lieth in wickedness; the whole human race is Lost in the darkness of Sin. But JESUS humbled Himself and became Sin for us. He entered into the gross darkness, bore our sins in His own body on the tree, and died in our place. He rose again the third day from the dead, and now shines out of darkness like the gentle sunshine at daybreak. If you are dwelling in darkness today with sin-blinded eyes, Come now to the LIGHT, His name is The Lord Jesus Christ. JESUS is the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of your Soul, and HE by Himself with His Precious Blood will expunge and purge all your crimes against God and heaven. Let the Light of Jesus into the dark cellar of your heart, and He dispel your doubts and despondency, and you will quickly your den of darkness out of disgust for your foolishness, vanity and pride.

For Thou wilt LIGHT my candle: the Lord my God will ENLIGHTEN my darkness. The Lord is my LIGHT and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? They looked unto Him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. For with Thee is the fountain of life: in Thy LIGHT shall we see LIGHT. O send out Thy LIGHT and Thy TRUTH: let them lead me. Awake thou that sleepest, and airse from the dead, and Christ shall give thee LIGHT. Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death.

Friendly Reminder: A candle cannot light itself. Light must be given from above, right out of God's words, via The Gospel of the Grace of God; Divine Light cannot be generated out of a dead soul. Trusting to CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF, that is All.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified HIM not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And the LIGHT shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. A Light that shineth in a dark place. Great things doeth HE, which we cannot comprehend. And this is the condemnation, that LIGHT is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than LIGHT, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the LIGHT, neither cometh to the LIGHT, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the LIGHT, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. And ye have not His word abiding in you: for whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not. But I know you, that ye have not the LOVE of God in you. 

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I AM the LIGHT of the world: he that followeth ME shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the LIGHT OF LIFE. Walk while ye have the LIGHT, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the LIGHT of the Glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Walk in The Light, as He is in The Light.

I AM come a LIGHT into the world, 

that whosoever believeth on ME 

should not abide in darkness. 

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is NO LIGHT in him. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to LIGHT, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 

The night is far spent, the DAY is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of LIGHT. For God, who commanded the LIGHT to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. What communion hath LIGHT with darkness? For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye LIGHT in the Lord: walk as children of LIGHT: And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son. Ye are all the children of LIGHT, and the children of the DAY: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous LIGHT.  

This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is LIGHT, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in Him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the TRUE LIGHT now shineth. He that saith he is in the LIGHT, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did LIGHTEN it, and the LAMB is the LIGHT thereof. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them LIGHT: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

I AM come a LIGHT into the world, 
that whosoever believeth on ME 
should not abide in darkness. 

ABIDE IN ME

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye Abide in ME. I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in ME, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without ME ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in ME, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye Abide in ME, and MY words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 

When our hearts are not in touch with JESUS, they pine away and wither, just like a branch, that is separated from the Vine. Constrain Jesus daily to tarry with you.

He shall cover thee with His feathers, 

and under His wings shalt thou trust. 

If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Jesus came to the place, He looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. But they constrained HIM, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And HE went in to tarry with them. And when Lydia was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. 

Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

He that saith he abideth in HIM ought himself also so to walk, even as HE walked. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. Ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is Truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in HIM. Now remember: It's not what you know, It's Who you know, that matters the most in this brief life we live here on Earth.

And now, little children, abide in HIM; that, when HE shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before HIM at His coming. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. 

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, 

if any man have a quarrel against any: 

even as Christ forgave you, 

so also do ye.

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in HIM, and HE in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which HE hath given us. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

*IN A NUTSHELL*

WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN

The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world // Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners // I am come a Light into the world, that believeth on Me should not abide in darkness // I am come forth from the Father, and am come into the world // The Kindness and Love of God our Saviour toward man appeared // And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil // He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew HIM not // I am come down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me // I came not to judge the world, but to save the world // This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear ye HIM. In this was manifested the Love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that me might Live through HIM // For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through HIM might be saved // God was manifest in the flesh; Emmanuel is His name; God with us // The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, He was full of grace and truth // Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not, but a Body hast Thou prepared Me // For The Life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that Eternal Life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us // The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a Ransom for many.

The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day // For the Son of man shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on // Hereby perceive we the Love of God, because He laid down His life for us // The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again // Christ pleased not Himself // He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief // He was despised, and we esteemed Him not // He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet HE opened not His mouth // Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief and made His Soul and offering for sin // He shall bear their iniquities // For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave Himself a Ransom for All // One died for All // He Offered Up Himself // Who gave Himself for our sins // Who loved me, and gave Himself for me // Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity // Christ Jesus was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin // Behold The Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world // For the Son of man is come to seek and save that which was lost.

Hast redeemed us to God by Thy Blood // Christ also suffered for us, Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth // But Now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself // As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up // He by the Grace of God should taste death for every man // The Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep // I lay down My Life for the sheep // That God might be Just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus // It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also maketh intercession for us // God spared not His own, but delivered Him up for All // Who was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our Justification // Whom God that set forth to be a Propitiation through Faith in His Blood // Herein is Love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and His Son to be the Propitiation for our sins // Which God hath purchased with His own Blood // But God commendeth His Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us // Much more then, being Now justified by His Blood, we shall be saved from wrath through HIM // Christ also hath Loved us, and that given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God // It behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day // In Whom we have Redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His Grace.

But Now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the Blood of Christ // In Whom we have Redemption, through His Blood, even the forgiveness of sins // We were reconciled to God by the death of His Son // He was numbered with the transgressors // Unto Him that Loved us, and washed us from our sins in His Own Blood // For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us // But this Man, after He had offered one Sacrifice for sins, for ever, sat down on the right hand of God // They overcame him by the Blood of The Lamb // He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities // Having made Peace through the Blood of His Cross // Who for the Joy that was set before HIM endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of God // But by His Own Blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained Eternal Redemption for us // 

Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures // Christ died for the ungodly // How much more shall The Blood of Christ, Who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God // He hath poured His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors // But with the Precious Blood of Christ as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot // The Blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from All sin // Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby me must be saved // Ye must be born again // We love Him, because He first loved us// He is the Mediator of a Better covenant.

With His stripes we are healed // I gave My back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting // Then did they spit in His face, and buffeted Him; and others smote Him with the palms of their hands // Being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross // God forbid that I should glory save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ // Wherefore He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by HIM, seeing HE EVER LIVETH to make intercession for them // Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through The Blood of the everlasting covenant // And by Him all that believe are justified from all things, form which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses // That He might sanctify the people with His Own Blood, suffered without the gate // The Spirit, and the water, and the Blood, and these three agree in one // For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God // And not only so, but we also Joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have Now received the Atonement.

The Lord is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that All should come to Repentance // Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a Curse for us // My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? // Why? For God hath made JESUS to be Sin for us, Who knew no Sin, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in HIM // He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin // The LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us All // Who His Own Self bare our sins in His Own body on the tree // Nailing it to His Cross // JESUS by Himself purged our sins, sat down on right hand of The Majesty on high // He is the Propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world // Pilate delivered Him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led Him away // He is brought as a Lamb to the slaughter // They were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and other on the left // And when they crucified Him, they parted His garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take // He said, It is Finished: and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost // But God raised HIM from the dead // For they being ignorant of God's Righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the Righteousness of God.

By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin // We conclude that a man is Justified by Faith without the deeds of the law // Ye must be born again // Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you Rest // If any man thirst, let him come unto ME, and drink // Come now, let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool // Him that cometh to ME I will in no wise cast out // Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved // Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved // Whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have Eternal Life // Through His name whosoever believeth in HIM shall receive the remission of sins // Whosoever liveth and believeth in ME shall never die // God be merciful to me a sinner, for JESUS' sake // In Whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the Faith of Him // Boldness to enter into the holiest by The Blood of Jesus // Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of Grace, that we may obtain Mercy, and find Grace to help in time of need // I AM come a LIGHT into the world, that whosoever believeth on ME should not abide in darkness // Lord Jesus, please be Merciful to me a sinner, I am tired of sinning against You, I turn to you God and trust only in Your Blood and Righteousness, please save and heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee // Will you let JESUS bring you to God through Faith in His Precious Blood? Will you let JESUS make you Righteous in the sight of God by trusting only to His Righteousness? You must be made Alive in Christ, born again by the power of the Holy Spirit.
