A Great Recompence of Reward – Hebrews 10:33-35 –

A Great Recompence of Reward
(Hebrews 10:33, 34, 35)

Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. (Hebrews 10:33) For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. (Hebrews 10:34) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. (Hebrews 10:35)

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26) For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Galatians 3:27). 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 3:28) And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:29)

Heirs of Promise

   In the book of Hebrews, the Holy Spirit ties these believers to Abraham, and the promises that were made to him. The Church has neglected its relationship to Abraham. We should all remember that our blessings, our life, our eternal life and the wonder of the Spirit of Christ within us ALL come through the promises of God to Abraham.
   When God SENT His Son into the world, it was from the stock and seed of Abraham that God developed the faith of ALL true believers. As the Hebrew believers were made a gazing stock, they suffered some of the most severe reproaches and afflictions. They not only suffered from the hands of the world and world leaders, but they suffered from their own religious leaders as well. The title of this marvelous book of Hebrews takes us back to the promises given to Abraham. These promises were more than earthly wealth or possessions.
   Abraham remained a sojourner in the land of Canaan ALL of the days of his life. He was a tent dweller and had no permanent residence. As we look back on Abraham’s life, as those who belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, we tend to only see the earthly side of Abraham. It is difficult to see the supernatural evidence of God CALLING Abraham, VISITING Abraham, PROMISING Abraham, and REWARDING Abraham with the righteousness of God. The earthly side kept Abraham as a mere sojourner in the land for ALL the promises of God eventually would be fulfilled IN the Lord Jesus Christ when in the fullness of time Christ gave Himself for a sacrifice for sin on the cross of Calvary, NOT only divided time, but it set a NEW division between heaven and earth. When Christ ascended He ascended AS the resurrected Man; therefore, we have a Man in heaven AT God’s own right hand. The blessings to Abraham were more than just earthly blessings in Genesis 15 for not only did God promise Abraham a seed from his own loins, but He promised him a land from the great river in Egypt all the way to the Euphrates River, and that his descendants would possess the land of the ten nations that were then present in the days of Abraham. In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates. (Genesis 15:18)
   From the CALL of Abraham, the God of glory appeared unto him, YES, a visible appearance, and since the Lord is designated as The God of glory, we would believe according to Hebrews Chapter 1, that He appeared as the brightness of God’s glory and the express image of His Person while Abraham was YET in Ur of Chaldees, or Mesopotamia, among the nations of idolatry that had been developed from the days of Nimrod. However, the Holy Spirit waited until the book of Acts to reveal this wonderful appearance. And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran. (Acts 7:2)

The Voice of Separation

   In Genesis Chapter 12, God reviews the CALL of Abraham as a past action. Now the Lord had said unto Abraham. (Genesis 12:1) It was a CALL OF SEPARATION, a separation from his country, a separation from kindred, and a separation from his father’s house. God told Abraham in a promise that He would take him to a land, and that He would show him that land. He will make of Abraham a great nation, and God will make the name of Abraham great. Abraham would become a blessing to his present world, and to that which was to come. God’s promises are without repentance for they are the surety of the God of righteousness, Possessor of heaven and earth. Again, in Acts 7:2, it was not man speaking, but Stephen speaking THROUGH the Holy Spirit of God. Stephen showed us the presence of the Lord NOT in a vision, but in His GLORY and the manifest image of His Person which we did not get in the book of Genesis. Thus, this shows another wonder of this divine supernatural book. It shows us the continuity of the Spirits’ voice in the written word of God. In Acts 6:5, (And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch) Read this very carefully. This is God’s authority within the person of Stephen. He was a man FULL of faith, the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. Stephen was FULL of the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is that same Stephen who proclaimed the gospel in Acts Chapter 7. Stephen gave a message sent down from heaven. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. (1st Peter 1:12) Stephen’s message to the Jews in Acts 7 had the authority of heaven and the length and the depth, the height and the breadth of the word of God in the gospel sent down from heaven. In the preaching of Stephen to the Jews, he did not make excuses for their sin and evil ways. He was NOT a negotiator, nor a compromiser of the truth. He was a minister moved by the Holy Spirit with the words of God sent down from heaven. His words lit a blazing fire in the hearts of the Jews and both hatred and enmity lashed out against God and His servant Stephen. They did not shake hands at the door on Sunday and tell the preacher about his great message, although Stephen’s message was from heaven with the authority of heaven, they ran upon him as a pack of demonic wolves and cast Stephen out of the city and stoned him. (CLICK HERE to read more about Stephen’s testimony at the end of the article.) 
   George Whitefield or (Whitfield) stood in the fields of England and preached the gospel as he was being pelted with tomatoes and other objects. He had been shut out of the commonwealth of religion when the Canterbury gang closed ALL doors to him as they have closed all doors to the truth today. They are symbolic of both king and country for God is left out of their show of pomp and pageantry. It has always amazed me how religious men can close their doors to the truth of God’s holy word. First, they must first close the door of their own hearts before the truth is cast out of the Church. When all the doors closed in England for Whitefield that did not stop him, as he was driven out of England by religious leaders he was invigorated in the new world. This man preached himself literally to death, overcoming a lot of health issues until his frail body succumbed to the frailty of his flesh. Mortal life ended, but eternal life continued, for God took His servant home where he (in heaven) had a better and enduring substance of the treasures that he had laid up in heaven. From faith to faith is a continuation of what is in the child of God. The gift of faith given by Jesus Christ is the substance of things hoped for including the promises given to Abraham. Faith is the divine evidence of things not seen.
   As Stephen preached the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit, the faith within him opened the unseen, opened the heavens, and he saw the Lord Jesus Christ, the Man in glory for us, standing at the right hand of God. Consider how Stephen began to preach, he revealed to the Jews that it was The God of glory who appeared to Abraham. These promises that God made to Abraham were being fulfilled IN the preaching of Stephen. The door of heaven was open to all these Jews, yet they could not see God’s faithfulness, and they could not hear God’s faithful servant as he beheld the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ at God’s right hand.

But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, (Acts 7:55) And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. (Acts 7:56)

   This message of Stephen began with The God of glory, and it ended with the glory of God in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ. At the end of Stephen’s message, the heavens opened to him, and he SAW The God of glory. What a message, not only for the earth, but it was witnessed and heard in the heavens. The heavens opened to hear the words of Stephen sent down from heaven as they echoed the mind of God.
   We forget the writings to the Hebrew believers was given to them for edification, and knowledge of their Savior Jesus Christ to reassure them that the persecution that they were suffering in THIS life was a blessing in the life to come. Hebrews Chapter 10, in their suffering, was preparing them and us for that which is to come in Hebrews Chapter 11.
   Hebrews Chapter 10 begins with the Law being a shadow of good things to come for it was our schoolteacher to bring us step by step to the wonder, the majesty, and the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. (Hebrews 10:1) When the Jews of Acts 7 ran upon Stephen, this was the full rage of Satan in the hearts of his children. (John 8:44) As Stephen preached the truth, the Jews rejected the truth, believing the lies of Satan over the truth of God. The Holy Spirit shows us the demonic temperament of the Jews in the phrase, they gnashed on him with their teeth.
   Before the Lord Jesus was crucified, He stated that the Jews knew not the hour of their visitation. He had come to be their King, “to this end was I born.” Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. (John 18:27) They rejected Him and continued to embrace the lie of Satan over the truth of God. This was their first chance to receive the Son of God, God in His mercy, after they had rejected His Son, sent the Holy Ghost to offer a second chance to the Jews by the preaching of a man full of the faith of Jesus Christ, and full of the Holy Ghost. Once again, they REJECTED the message from heaven and believed the lie of Satan, and the lies of the men of the earth. The Jews could not embrace that which was above because they were of the earth, earthly. And therefore, they REJECTED the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.
   Today, we are blessed with the divine continuum with the word of God sent down by the Holy Ghost in what is called the King James Bible. Through the word of God we enter into the fullness of time. Everything in the purpose of God springs from the fullness of time when Christ, our beloved Savior, gave Himself as a sacrifice for sin. He OPENED the door of grace, which in turn opened the door of heaven for yesterday, for today, and forever.

Hebrews is the Book of Substance from the Spirit of God

   In the world of mathematics everything is built on the first ten digits, not counting zero, for those who would like to correct me. And all further math equations have their root in these first ten digits. God (in the first ten chapters of Hebrews) builds all these chapters, one after another, so that they would add up to the fullness of faith that we find in a new beginning in Hebrews Chapter 11. In Hebrews 10:34, those of faith have laid up in heaven an enduring substance BETTER than all earthly gain. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. This substance is the result of the substance of faith which we will see in Chapter 11 of this marvelous book of substance.
   This book is a letter from the Spirit of God much like the gospel of John for through both of these books you see the signature of the Spirit of God revealing THAT which is far beyond the mind of man. In both of the books of the gospel of John and the book of Hebrews, the natural man will have no understanding. Only those who are enlightened (as we see in the book of Hebrews) can see and understand these secrets and mysteries of God for God reveals through the substance of faith the evidence of things not seen. God reveals the unknown so that it may be known by the substance of faith within us to reveal the evidence of that which is unseen. We have written previously, and we again remind you that this is the only book in the canon of scripture that begins with the word GOD. He reveals the UNSEEN in the very first word in this book. He gave this book a divine title, and divine supervision over this book in the very first word; consequently, this takes us back to the first Chapter of the Bible in Genesis with, In the beginning God.

Hebrews is the Book Rooted on God’s Supernatural Perfection

✔ In Hebrews Chapter 1, it is NOT a beginning, but GOD Himself in His divine majesty, and from the ten digits God is number ONE. We see this in Chapter 1 in the book of Hebrews.
✔ Now, from our ten digits, the second digit is seen in the work of the Son of God in Chapter 2 of the book of Hebrews. His work was to overcome sin, death, and the works of the devil.
✔ In the third digit, Chapter 3, of the book of Hebrews we have the work of the Holy Spirit with the holy brethren revealing the house of Christ, whose house are we.
   In the first three Chapters of the book of Hebrews, God the Father is revealed in Chapter 1; God the Son is revealed in Chapter 2, and God the Holy Spirit is revealed in Chapter 3.
✔ The fourth digit, or Chapter 4 of the book of Hebrews, we are turned to God’s rest, which is Christ IN US with the hope of glory gives US rest IN God, and IN our great High Priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God. As God finished His work of creation, the Earth number is the number four. This connects us with God’s rest in the book of Hebrews. However, in verse 8 of Chapter 4, we have a dilemma, the dilemma is with Adam’s spirit for Adam did not believe that Jesus Christ is the Sovereign God of all creation, time and eternity. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. (Hebrews 4:8)
   Theologians take away the name of Jesus in verse 8, and substitutes Jesus with the name Joshua, although both names mean Savior, it is Joshua the man that they believe in and NOT Jesus Christ, the Creator of all things.

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. (Hebrews 4:8)

➜ (Revised Standard Version) For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not speak later of another day. (RSV)
➜ (American Standard Version) For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day. (ASV)
➜ (Modern King James Version) For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. (MKJV)
➜ (New King James Version) For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. (NKJV)

   By taking away the name of Jesus they take away the cloud by day and the fire by night. By taking away the name of Jesus, they take away the ark of the covenant. Whenever Israel moved their camp site, the priest would bear the ark of the covenant before the nation, and the nation followed the ark of the covenant. In the Old Testament, the ark of the covenant is one of the greatest symbols of the Lord Jesus Christ for ON the ark of the covenant was the mercy seat. It was the ark of the covenant that went before them into the Jordan River and the waters were stayed so that the children of Israel went OVER the Jordan on dry ground. All the symbols that we have of Christ in the book of Exodus, (the second book of the Bible) was there to reveal the INVISIBLE of faith. When Christ showered manna upon them, they did eat angels food showing the divine nature IN the manna from heaven. And although God was leading them into the promise land, many could not enter in because of unbelief. Even THEN, they could not enter into Christ’s finished work on the cross through all the symbolism that God had given them concerning His beloved Son. They COULD NOT enter into God’s rest, so therefore, in Chapter 4 of the book of Hebrews, God does not use the name Joshua, it is only the name of Jesus that can open the door to God’s rest for rest is IN Jesus Christ. Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

   Whenever the name of Jesus is taken away, His sovereignty is taken away, for it is AT the name of Jesus every knee shall bow to give homage, and worship to the Son of God. Everything in heaven, everything in earth, and everything under the earth IS under the divine authority of the Creator of all things, both SEEN and UNSEEN, and that which is to come, and this divine authority is known by the name of Jesus. And ONLY in the name of Jesus does there remain a rest for the people of God.
   ✔As the number four is the number of the Earth, so, number five, or Chapter 5 of Hebrews is the number of God’s grace. To have grace, God’s righteousness HAS TO BE SATISFIED. To obtain the grace of God through faith, one MUST enter into the righteousness of God IN Jesus Christ for it is HE (the Lord of glory) who has fulfilled God’s righteousness. This satisfied ALL the claims of God against man, and covered that which was opposed to God under the blood of Christ. Adam, you are guilty, and have no hope. All the descendants of Adam are guilty and have no hope. But what did God do in His mercy? He sent HOPE IN His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ who is Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace, and a High Priest after the order and oath of Melchisedec. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

   In Chapter 5, we are introduced to Melchisedec, the divine Priest, who is the Lord Jesus Christ and who has satisfied ALL God’s claims against us. As the Lord Jesus said to Philip in John 14:9, he that hath seen me hath seen the Father . . . which connects us to Isaiah as the everlasting Father in Isaiah 9:6. Thus, we can go further than Philip by the Holy Spirit of God and the Word of God for those who looked upon the Lord Jesus, looked upon God in the face of Jesus Christ.
   Why are we introduced to Melchisedec in the fifth Chapter of Hebrews? Melchisedec is the High Priest of heaven. He is the express image of the Priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ; yesterday, today and forever. When Christ revealed Himself on earth as the express image of the invisible God, He also was the image of the High Priest from heaven. To satisfy God, Christ had to present Himself as BOTH the High Priest AND as the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. In John Chapter 17, we have the Lord Jesus presenting Himself to God the Father as the High Priest Melchisedec. He presented Himself in the love of God AS the sacrificial Lamb of heaven. Only THAT which was not tainted by the sin of man, and only by THAT sacrifice can man stand before God. It is through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ that completes the cycle of life for the redeemed of the Lord by opening the door to heaven through the sacrifice of His flesh. As the Son of man, Christ brought God to man, and as the Son of God, Christ brought man to God, and between them both, as the Lamb of God, He opened the door of heaven IN Himself through the veil of His flesh so that WE, the redeemed, may be called the sons of God.
   Since the whole world lies and IS contaminated with sin, only the purity of heaven could redeem man. There was NOTHING on earth that could take away sin. All the animal sacrifices were in vain, for every year, there was a remembrance of sin, and those sacrifices could not cleanse the conscience. So, God SENT His only beloved Son from heaven, therein bringing heaven to us to redeem us from our sin. For the Lord Jesus is the GREAT and ETERNAL High Priest forever. It is Christ who is the Melchisedec of heaven, and God has made Him higher than the heavens. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. (Hebrews 7:26)

   ✔ In Chapter 6 of the book of Hebrews, we see the number of man, and the struggle of unbelief. Man in his unrighteous state wants to keep that which has been cast off. It is man who finds disagreement with the word of God. It is man looking at himself in Adam and declaring his own self control over the things of eternity. The redeemed of the Lord Jesus have no trouble with their redemption for the Spirit of Christ witnesses WITHIN them that they are a child of God, and if a child, then they are sons, and they have been brought into Heirship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
   It is impossible for the natural man to move on to the glory of Jesus Christ. The earth has bound the natural man in sin, and until that sin is met in Jesus Christ, man remains a slave to sin and in the bondage of Adam. The natural man cannot accept that God is supreme in ALL things. Man has a low definition of God’s deity because of the sin within man. You tell man that God has the power over ALL things and man will reply, “But NOT me.” However, the redeemed see themselves as God saw them long before their existence in the bowels of the earth. (Psalm 139)
   Man wants to embrace the old things of the earth and not the new things of heaven. In Chapter 6 we are to leave the old world to Adam, and to the traditions of men. We, as the redeemed, have full confidence in our faith, so that we soar in the heavens with Christ. We seek those things which are above and have no confidence in our flesh. We KNOW that it is impossible for us to return back to Adam for we have been eternally JOINED to the Body of Jesus Christ. So that even in THIS life we can feel and experience the joys of heaven through the Spirit of God and the revelations in the word of God. We set our affections on things above and ON our Savior Jesus Christ. We rest our head upon His bosom and listen to the heartbeat of eternity. He has made a place in heaven for us in His COMPLETED work of Calvary. So we agree with the Spirit of God, it is IMPOSSIBLE for those who were once enlightened and possess the faith of Jesus Christ to fall away, to give up, to cast off the substance of faith given by the eternal God IN Jesus Christ. The history of Adam gives us no assurance of tomorrow, but the history and promises of God give us the assurance of all the tomorrows to come and through the eternity of God. We are bone of His bone, and flesh of His flesh and the ETERNAL and unquenchable Spirit of God dwells within us. And through this indwelling we receive the gift of the mind of Jesus Christ to give us full assurance of our redemption by the Son of the Living God.
   ✔ In Chapter 7 of Hebrews we see the full manifestation of the priesthood of Jesus Christ, yesterday, today and forever. But first, we need to go back to the words of the Spirit of God in Hebrews 5:10 and 11. Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. (Hebrews 5:10) Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. (Hebrews 5:11) The great difficulty of Adam is seeing the God of creation BEFORE He created, and seeing the Son of God AS the Creator, and seeing the Son of God AS the Eternal Priest called by the title, Melchisedec. We have previously covered this subject, but I have found that in the teaching by the Spirit that repetition of these godly issues leads to increased knowledge of the holies. So that the Spirit of God shows us that the Lord Jesus Christ IS and WAS and FOREVER IS Melchisedec. Therefore, Chapter 7 is the FULLNESS of the priesthood of Christ on the earth and in heaven.

And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: (Zechariah 6:12) Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. (Zechariah 6:13)

   In Zechariah we have Christ upon His throne in the millennial kingdom. He is first a priest, and then the King of peace. We find this same formula in Hebrews Chapter 7. By the way, the number seven is God’s perfect completion, God’s perfect rest. When Christ met Abraham as Melchisedec in Genesis Chapter 14, the battles were over, so Christ appeared as the Great High Priest and the King of Peace.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; (Hebrews 7:1)
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; (Hebrews 7:2)
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. (Hebrews 7:3)
Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. (Hebrews 7:4)

~

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. (Genesis 14:18)
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: (Genesis 14:19)
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. (Genesis 14:20)

   When Melchisedec appeared to Abraham as documented in Genesis 14, Abraham KNEW exactly who He was for The God of glory had appeared to Abraham previously in Mesopotamia, and Abraham needed NO introduction for he had PREVIOUSLY lifted up his hand to the most high God possessor of heaven and earth.
   The eternal priesthood of Christ is seen through examples in the Law for the Law was a window of good things to come. When Aaron was appointed the high priest of Israel, his priesthood was an example, a shadow of the heavenly Priest Melchisedec. If we lay hold of the earthly ceremony around Aaron and his son, we will understand more about Christ’s eternal priesthood and our royal priesthood as the sons of God. The Tabernacle was a shadow of heavenly things. Not only is Christ the eternal Priest, but the Tabernacle revealed the work and articles of His priesthood. The scripture declares for us today that we have a high Priest IN heaven who IS the brightness of God’s glory and the express image of His Person, and God has made HIM higher than the heavens. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. (Hebrews 7:26)
   ✔ In the 8th Chapter of the book of Hebrews the Spirit of God gives us a portrait of a new beginning, a day of resurrection, a day of life, and the Spirit of God at THAT point in the book of Hebrews wants to quicken your mortal body to the immortal Body of Christ.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; (Hebrews 8:1) A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. (Hebrews 8:2)

   The Lord Jesus, as the resurrected Man in heaven, is the Great High Priest and sits at the place of divine power at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. There is so much we need to learn about our future home with Christ in the heavens. In verse 2, we must hold fast to the Lord’s priesthood in the heavens for we have seen that He sits upon the throne of grace, and in His priesthood, He is a continual witness before the throne of God and the continuation of His continual priesthood FOREVER after the order of Melchisedec. (Psalm 110) He is the Minister of the Sanctuary, showing us the tangible in heaven although it is UNSEEN to us today. His work and ministry in the sanctuary of heaven embrace ALL the saints, yesterday, today and forever. When the Lord Jesus was manifest upon the earth, He was also the Minister of righteousness. He fulfilled that ministry in His divine priesthood by taking His own blood to the cross and shedding divine blood as the offering for sin and the sacrifice of God in offering His own soul as an offering for sin.

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. (Isaiah 53:10) He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. (Isaiah 53:11)

   Then taking His blood inside the vail of heaven, He placed His blood, God’s blood, (Acts 20:28) on the eternal mercy seat in heaven.

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; (Hebrews 9:11) Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Hebrews 9:12)

   In Revelation Chapter 11, heaven is SEEN and the Spirit of God opens the Temple of God and behold, the True Ark of His Testimony is SEEN and on that Ark is the mercy seat and on that mercy seat is the blood of God to witness to the Cherubim, to witness to the four and twenty elders, to witness to ALL heaven, to witness to the world, to witness to Satan, to witness of ALL of Adam’s race, and to finally witness to us, the redeemed, of all the sufferings of Christ and His precious blood on the eternal mercy seat in heaven. These are the words of the Lord Jesus before He ascended as Melchisedec to place His blood on the mercy seat in heaven, Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my God, and your God. (John 20:17) TOUCH ME NOT.  CLICK HERE to read more about Touch me not. 
   ✔This mystery is settled for us in Hebrews Chapter 9, the final single digit of completion for it was the Lord Jesus Christ who entered into the holy place IN heaven once and for all through the vail of His flesh with His own precious blood.

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Hebrews 9:12)
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: (Hebrews 9:13)
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrews 9:14)

~

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. (Hebrews 9:23)
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: (Hebrews 9:24)
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; (Hebrews 9:25)
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (Hebrews 9:26)
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28)

~

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. (John 20:16) Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. (John 20:17)

   Now we see the mystery in heaven of the True Tabernacle in heaven, the True Ark of the Covenant in the holy place, and the Cherubims looking upon the eternal mercy seat with the blood of God upon it, the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, the express image of the invisible God, the blood of the Lamb of sacrifice, the blood of the Son of God, the blood of Jesus Christ once for all.
   The true seekers of the Ark of the Covenant know exactly where it is. It is settled in heaven forever. Man may search the earth digging and searching, scouring the earth for the ark of the covenant, and their only hope in finding the True Ark of the divine covenant is to look up into heaven . . . for there it is at rest forever.

    For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:2) We should see ourselves as born-again believers in our present man and in our future as COMPLETE in Christ. Heaven has become our home, and we are no longer bound by the earth or by the world and they who dwell therein.
   So now we see the fullness of the number 10, which is the fullness of divine order and God’s will and purpose is according to His divine order; hence, the ten commandments, for these commandments are holy and true to God’s righteousness. In Chapter 10 of Hebrews, we have God’s setting us down in Christ that our faith in the Just One should open the door of grace with full confidence in the Son of God. Faith becomes the substance of our life to reveal the evidence of the UNSEEN. And Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2) We as the sons of God desire to depart and to be with Christ which is far better.

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13)
Do all things without murmurings and disputings: (Philippians 2:14)
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; (Philippians 2:15)
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. (Philippians 2:16)

The Bonds and Cords of the SEEN and UNSEEN

   With our sonship comes the responsibility to maintain a godly life through prayer and supplication. We are to do of God’s good pleasure, and not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God. Through the eyes of faith, we should allow our hearts to see the UNSEEN as Stephen and see through faith the evidence of those things NOT SEEN. The door of the heart can only be opened by the Man in heaven: Jesus Christ, who in His own Body opened the door in heaven for us, the sons of God.

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: (Philippians 3:20) Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. (Philippians 3:21)

   As we get closer to our change, the bands of earth grow weaker and the cords of heaven grow stronger. When this vile body will be left behind, and a new and glorious body will be given to the children of faith, whether we sleep in Jesus or are taken in the translation of the saints, our body, the vile body, will not follow us . . . it will be left behind. Today, we see all the religions of the world attempting to blend themselves into a massive state. Although they all profess different beliefs, we see many ways that they are compromising those beliefs to bring about a world of one belief, and that will be in the man of sin, the ambassador of Satan. Christendom has been infiltrated and divided in ages past, and ruined as a whole.
   In the book of Hebrews, we are told not to be moved from our confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ. In Hebrews Chapter 10:33 and 34 we see that our walk of faith is one of separation from the world, which in our day is extremely difficult. Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. (Hebrews 10:33) For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. (Hebrews 10:34) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. (Hebrews 10:35) The prince of this world, Satan, has developed a means of control from the very day of our birth to the day of our death. He now gives us a number as an iron shackle that binds us our entire life. We are control by ungodly governments and their economies and rules of their economies. All the currencies and moneys of this world are controlled by Caesar, one way or another. Even the throne of Caesar is controlled by that old serpent, the devil. Both Paul and John warned us of the wicked and unrighteousness of the world. Paul defined that his world and our world IS the present evil world.
   Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (Galatians 1:4) The apostle John, through the eyes of faith, saw that the WHOLE world was lying in wickedness.

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. (1st John 5:19)

~

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1st John 4:4) They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. (1st John 4:5) We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. (1st John 4:6)

   Both Paul and John had the Spirit of grace and could see the sin and wickedness of their present world. Why then in modern Christianity do we see those who profess Jesus Christ embracing the sin and rudiments and the things of the world instead of SEEING them as SIN and WICKEDNESS. I wish that the words ‘ye must be born again‘ was not just a catch phrase to the present evil world.
   We should feel the SAME realities as both Paul and John in that we desire to be taken out of this world by the Spirit of Christ and given a new heart and a new spirit and the renewing of our soul by the changing of our body. If a man die, shall he live [again]? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. (Job 14:14) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1st Corinthians 15:42) It is absolutely a certainty that when the divine actions of being born again takes place that the Spirit of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, witnesses within that new creation of God, and testifies that the new creation is a child of God and has been brought into sonship through Jesus Christ our Lord.

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Galatians 4:6) Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4:7)

   Remember that the whole world speaks of itself and in our day explicitly testifies of its own wickedness for their affections are for the world and its treasures. By faith we have an enduring substance, NOT of this world, but in heaven. When Stephen was preaching, and the heavens opened, no one except Stephen saw the Son of man, the Lord Jesus Christ at the right hand of God. Since Stephen’s affections and desires were NOT of the earth the heavens opened to him and to hin alone. Colossians Chapter 3 teaches each and every child of God to seek those things which are above and to set our affections, that is our love, that is our compassion, that is our soul ON the Man in heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (Colossians 3:2) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:4)

   In the first ten Chapters of the book of Hebrews, the Spirit of God has shown us the treasures that are in Jesus Christ, which are many. However, when we get to Chapter 11, we see a great box of jewels of those who walked by faith and testified by their very walk of faith that they TURNED from the world to serve the Living God.
   In this last part of Hebrews Chapter 10, the Holy Spirit was speaking to the children of faith, which joins US to THEM in Chapter 11, but let’s not run ahead of the Spirit of God. We need to finish this 10th Chapter of good things to come before we climb that holy mountain of faith in Chapter 11. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. (Hebrews 10:35) It is confidence in God and in the Lord Jesus Christ that we receive by listening to the witness and voice of the Holy Ghost in verse 15, Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (1st Corinthians 3:16) If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are. (1st Corinthians 3:17)

   His voice is continually speaking to your conscience, to your mind, to your heart, and to your spirit. As the children of God we carry the voice of the Holy Ghost within us. He is the fire by night, and the cloud by day. As a child of God, He assures us of our sonship IN Jesus Christ. We could not be heirs of God if we are not a treasure of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have a relationship THROUGH Jesus Christ with the everlasting Father.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

   In Isaiah 9:6 we see the fullness of the phrase ‘name’s sake.’ For ALL the names that God has used through scripture are fulfilled in His name’s sake. This is given to us by the Spirit of God in Philippians 2:9, 10 and 11.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: (Philippians 2:9) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (Philippians 2:10) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:11)

   In the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal God has drawn ALL His names into one eternal name . . . the name of Jesus Christ. It is ONLY Jesus Christ who is the eternal Savior. There is NO other name among men, whereby we MUST be saved. The Holy Ghost specifies that ONLY the name JESUS and the Person of JESUS is the Savior of man. I believe it took more power to endure the cross and despising the shame then it took to create the worlds, and Christ did both of them. The name’s sake of God is the name’s sake JESUS, a name above every name, higher than the heavens. All creation will take their bow to the express image of the invisible God, JESUS, the Son of God. The fiery members of unbelief, and the mind and heart of deceit will also be made to confess HIM as Lord of lords and King of kings. EVERY knee will bow, the just and the unjust. EVERY TONGUE will confess that JESUS Christ is Lord to the glory of the everlasting Father. This is all to build our confidence in our Savior and our God in Hebrews 10:35. However, this confidence should have an outward display, never doubting, and always accepting and depending on the will of God for us, the redeemed.
   As we walk in the steps of our salvation, it should be to fulfill God’s good pleasure. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13) If we listen to man and to the world, they will try to erode our confidence in Christ. They would try to bring doubt and deception around the name which is ABOVE every name, and around the ONE who is made higher than the heavens. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. (Hebrews 7:26)
   We see that the Holy Spirit is uniting the earthly walk of the Lord Jesus Christ with the heavenly dominion that He has now: who is holy? (He had a holy walk) who is harmless? (He did nothing amiss and harmed no one) who is undefiled? (there was no sin within Him, there was no sin by Him, in His purity He had to be made sin for us on the cross of Calvary so that we could be made the righteousness of God IN Him), He was separate from sinners, in this, we see the divine seed that holy thing, that holy child, the Holy One, which kept Him separate from Adam and Adam’s descendants.

   And because of these qualities and this purity, God has made Him, the Lord Jesus Christ, the highest Himself, higher than the heavens. This means that there is nothing higher, there is no pinnacle above Him, HE IS THE HIGHEST HIMSELF. (Psalm 87:5, And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.)
   The deceitful workers of iniquity will always try to bring doubt to the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was NOT of Adam. He was the Man from heaven. As I said, He was the holy thing, the holy child, and the Holy One. God KNEW the mind of Lucifer, and the mind of man. Both are seated in sin and in iniquity. If you would like to see the mind of man who mimicked the mind of Satan, then turn to Matthew Chapter 26, verses 63 and 64.

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. (Matthew 26:63) Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. (Matthew 26:64)

   I will take the liberty, and I will give you the interpretation of these two verses. The high priest asked the Lord Jesus, ‘Art thou the Christ?’ In the mind of the Spirit this means, ‘the anointed one with the oil of gladness, the Messiah, the Son of God with all power in heaven and earth.?’ Now, to answer this, the Lord simply said, ‘verily, verily, Thou hast said.’ The Lord Jesus CONFIRMED exactly what the high priest had stated, and then the Lord not only CONFIRMED His earthly position, He CONFIRMED His heavenly position as well. For the high priest and all the world will see the Son of God sitting on the right hand of God with all power. The Lord Jesus, as the Son of man, will return in the clouds of heaven in ALL His glory. Did they believe this? NO. They chided Him as one who blasphemes. We see the same thing in the mind of man today. As the children of God, we have the confidence in God in His complete deity in Jesus Christ as the fullness of the Godhead bodily. We claim that He has not only redeemed us, but we are taken into sonship because of the finished work of Christ on the cross of Calvary and made joint heirs with His Person.

The Generational Continues Through The Son of God as ‘sons of God’

   For many years the sonship of believers has rarely been taught in the Church. I am not embarrassed to claim that I have been brought into sonship THROUGH the Lord Jesus Christ, and yet, there are still those who would say of that claim that it is blaspheming. However, Peter in his second epistle, Chapter 1, told us that we are partakers of the divine nature. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2nd Peter 1:4) Christ being the fullness of the Godhead bodily is also one of the teachings that we rarely hear. If man will not claim deity for the Lord Jesus Christ, then he does not believe that Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Look at the relationship that we have THROUGH the Lord Jesus Christ. We ARE as believers the sons of God. Scripture gives us overwhelming witness to this fact. 

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Hebrews 2:9)
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. (Hebrews 2:10)
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, (Hebrews 2:11)
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. (Hebrews 2:12)
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. (Hebrews 2:13)
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; (Hebrews 2:14)
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (Hebrews 2:15)
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. (Hebrews 2:16)
Wherefore in all things it behoved 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. (Hebrews 2:17)
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. (Hebrews 2:18)

~

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. (Hebrews 12:4)
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: (Hebrews 12:5)
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. (Hebrews 12:6)
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? (Hebrews 12:7)
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. (Hebrews 12:8)
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? (Hebrews 12:9)
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. (Hebrews 12:10)
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. (Hebrews 12:11)

~

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, (Galatians 4:4)
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (Galatians 4:5)
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Galatians 4:6)
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4:7)

~

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. (1st John 3:1)
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1st John 3:2)
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. (1st John 3:3)
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1st John 3:4)

~

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Romans 8:9)

~

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: (Romans 8:16)

~

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19)

   Do you see the fullness of Romans 8:19? As Christ was manifested as the express image of the invisible God, so WE will be manifested as the sons of God in the image of Christ. We will be like Him. However, the deceiver and his host of unbelievers AND deceivers like to pick apart the word of God. They do not want us as the children of God to have FULL CONFIDENCE IN our God and IN His word. However, we hold fast to the word of God, which is quick and powerful, and sharper than a two edge sword.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4:13)

   It is the preacher’s responsibility to build up the children of God in their most holy faith. It is NOT to falsely proclaim that there are chips in the blade of the two-edged sword, or the random choice that a verse doesn’t belong in the scriptures that the Holy Spirit has overseen and guided AND KEPT from the beginning. Many false ministers of righteousness take one word and replace it with another word that changes the continuity of the entire verse, and in some cases, the entire chapter. Man is NOT the overseer of the word of God. It is quite evident that man without the Spirit of God cannot see the mind of God through the holy scriptures.
   Beginning with Moses and the Psalms, and the holy prophets, and the apostles and the godly men who God revealed His mind to, so that the word of God under God the Spirit’s control and guidance IS the same yesterday, today and forever. Man cannot conceive the generational purpose of the Spirit’s mind, for ONLY the Spirit of God is capable of keeping the word of God. May I remind you of the failure of man in the beginning in the garden at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The moment that Adam was driven out of the garden, his only knowledge was evil. He left good behind. If you do not believe this then notice the lineage or Adam’s first born who was Cain. And Cain, through evil, murdered his brother Abel. This mind set consumed the line of Cain and eventually the line of Seth so that the whole world was under the teaching of evil and there was only one man who stood for righteousness and that was Noah.
   The first six Chapters of Genesis shows us that man is not capable of keeping the word of God, nor obeying the word of God, and this has not changed today. Man in his perversion, daily through his imagination invents a new sin, and attempts to overthrow what God has made. God took the word of God out of man’s hands, and the Holy Spirit reigns as Sovereign over the word of God. He gives the proof of His divine authority WITHIN the word of God by the CONTINUITY of its writings from the first verse to the last verse. The Spirit of God testifies to the very truth of the words of scripture in the hearts of the redeemed so that we, as the children of God, can have full confidence IN the word both Living and written. So now we come to the point of no return. You are either with me or against me. The Bible, the word of God, the King James Bible, is the supernatural book kept by the supernatural author and He is the preserver of the word of God. Answer these questions, If you have full confidence in God, who counts your heart beats, who holds your breath, who has given you life, who IS the Savor of man, and who is the Spirit of grace? These are five questions man MUST answer in THIS life or at the great white throne judgment. As a child of God, put your full confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. (Hebrews 10:35)
   Do not turn to the left or right, keep your eyes, your heart, your spirit, your soul, and your mind filled with the vision of Christ and the brightness of His glory. Listen to God the Father, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. For there is a great recompense of reward. Amen and Selah.

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. (Jude 1:3)
