THE BLOOD IS IN THE NAME
Romans 3:24-26
"Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forebearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."
I John 1:7
"But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
Hebrews 9:22
"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
A TESTATOR is a person who leaves a will in force at His death. A will is a testament, a testament is a written act by which a person determines the disposition of His property after His death.
Hebrews 9:14 says;
"Jesus is the faithful High Priest; who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God."
So, this made Jesus a sacrifice and a sacrifice is the offering up of something that is precious or beloved. A testator is a person who leaves a will in force after his death. A will is a testament or an act used to determine the disposition of the property of a person after death. Now the synonymous expression of the term "Sacrifice and Testator." Now I will break his down using the word of God!
Genesis 12:1-3
"Now the LORD has said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
From this we can see that God (the Testator), promised an inheritance to the entire world through Abraham and his seed.
Galatians 3:18
"For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise."
Galatian 3:16
"Now o Abraham and his SEED were the promise made, He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of ONE, And to thy SEED, which is CHRIST. And this I say, that the covenant that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was Four Hundred and Thirty (430) years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. But God gave it to Abraham by promise."
Galatian 3:19
"wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgression, till the SEED should come to whom the promise was made; and angels in the hand of a mediator ordained it."
Galatian 3:20-22
"Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promise of God? God Forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, veril righteousness should have been by the law. But scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that BELIEVE."
Galatian 3:26-28
"For ye are all the children of God by Faith in Christ Jesus. for as many of you as have been BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither Bond nor Free, there is neither Male nor Female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus...."
Galatians 3:29
"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Since we are the seed of Abraham (by faith in Jesus Christ), the promises or the will was made to us also. Therefore God is our TESTATOR. He made the promise unto us saying that we should be blessed through the SEED of Abraham which is Christ Jesus. Remember I said that a TESTATOR is a person who leaves a will in force after his death. Since God was the Testator it was necessary for God to die for us to receive the inheritance. Now I know that God cannot die in the spirit. Therefore He took on himself a body for the suffering of death.
Hebrews 2:16-17
"For Verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the SEED of Abraham. wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people."
II Corinthians 5:19
"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."
God in the beginning was in the position of FATHER when He made the promises to Abraham and his seed. Since he was the TESTATOR in the position of the Father and being a spirit He could not die.
James 2:26
"For as the body without the Spirit is dead."
Or death occurs when the Spirit is separated from the body. Therefore it was necessary for God to prepare himself a body. Since this body had to serve as a sacrifie it had to be holy. Since there were NONE HOLY among men neither those that were begotten by man therefore it was necessary for God to beget him a body.
Read:
John 1:1-3,14; Philippians 2:8;
Through this process of the unification of this body and God who is a Spirit it was called the son of God. Since this was God manifest in flesh, everything that God was in the FATHER SHIP was transferred into the SON SHIP.
Read:
Colossians 1:19; Colossian 2:9;
So, we have the TESTATOR in the Son Ship, For we have said that Jesus made the same promise that God made in the Old Testament. Since God being in the Son Ship and not classified as the father how could we receive the inheritance through Him?
Hebrews 2:17
"Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people."
KEEP THE FAITH!
