"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." - Acts 26:18

Hypocrites in Heart
The Christian Church today is no different from the Jewish Church in Jeremiah’s day. They do not obey the voice of the Lord! Beware of becoming delusional! Do not leave your first love! Many live a lie today and live like the world and go on believing they are saved. Many have come under the delusion of false teachers. False professions mean nothing, worldly sorrow produces no true repentance! Many continue in their own way and refuse the words of the prophets. God commands all men everywhere to repent, God is coming to judge the world in righteousness. You must repent to be saved from hell. Do not avoid what God has spoken! To refuse God is to come under the wrath of God. The justified live by faith which produces obedience. The Christian is not free to live as they please. How is the Christian Church different from the Church in Jeremiah’s day? Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Obey the voice of the Lord!

Children of God
The children of God have the Holy Spirit in them and when they are born again they begin to look like their Father. They abide in Him, and He in them. They realize that Christ came because of God’s love. Christ came to free us from bondage. Christ is the only sufficient propitiation for sin. Faith in Christ restores our relationship with God the Father. Believers realize that their sin sent Christ to the cross. God invites all to sit at His table and be forgiven of their sin. We must realize we are guilty and have rebelled against the great love of God. Only by participation in the death and resurrection of Christ can one be forgiven. The children of God both become pure and remain pure by faith. A child of God remains pure by keeping His commandments through walking in love. The children of God are those who go on believing that Jesus is the Son of God and overcome the world through faith.

God's Purpose
The purpose of Christ was to do the will of the Father, and He would not let anything get in the way of completing this purpose. This was His single purpose. His love for God made everything else less. Sin is the opposite, it is when we let something become more important that our love for God. His poverty did not matter, his pain, his suffering, his ridicule did not matter! He condemned pomp and pride! He loved the Father with everything. Christ calls us to humble ourselves and receive eternal life. The believer must also find their purpose in God in order to have continued unity through agreement with God! Everything else is false religion. Jesus Christ must be exalted above everything else. Christ did all for the will of the Father, we must join His purposes in this. Christ came to show us the Father and those who follow Him will be baptized in the Holy Spirit and purified by faith.
