No Jew under the Torah ever was required to present his body a living sacrifice to God. Yet, presenting our body to God as a living sacrifice is the reasonable service of worship of the new covenant. Now we have Christ Himself, the Son of God, who makes it possible for us to meet all His requirements.

The new covenant is an infinitely stricter covenant, but a covenant containing infinitely more grace to produce the righteousness the Lord requires.

Hopefully the spirit of delusion we have been describing will never be permitted to enter the land of Israel to any great extent. The true Gospel of the Kingdom originated in the land of Israel and is destined to return to the land of Israel in the last days.

We are not suggesting in this booklet that an individual can reject Christ and enter the Kingdom of God on the basis of righteous behavior. This would be to contradict the Scripture. No person can knowingly reject Christ and find favor with God.

Neither are we implying that the weak believer should despair because he is not being successful in "saving himself." Never allow yourself to become discouraged no matter how hopeless your case appears to be. The Lord will accept you and love you and bring you through to complete salvation as long as this is what you desire.

The Christians who are in danger are those who, in an attitude of smug complacency, are declaring that since they have assented verbally to the theological facts concerning the atonement and the resurrection of the Lord and have made the correct verbal profession they are eternally secure in Christ, even though they are filled with worldliness, lust, and self-will. They are not humble of heart nor repentant. They shall suffer greatly during the coming age of moral horrors until they bow the knee to the Lord Jesus.

It also is a fact that the most wretched sinner, no matter what he may have done, can come to God through the Lord Jesus Christ and gain right standing with God. So great is the redemption provided through Christ!

It absolutely and eternally is true that if anyone knowingly rejects Christ he comes under the judgment of God, and also that the worst of sinners can be received of God if he repents and calls on the name of the Lord Jesus.

These are unchangeable, Divinely established facts. The very heavens and the earth shall pass away but God's Word through the Lord Jesus shall never pass away.

Jesus gave us the Spirit of God so we would have power to bear witness of His atoning death and triumphant resurrection. By far the most important part of the witness the Lord desires is the evidence of Christ's resurrection portrayed in the transformed moral behavior of the believer. The blood of the cross has released us from Satan's authority. We now are qualified to fight in the Spirit of God against all the sin and rebellion found in the "body of sin" located in our personality.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. (Romans 6:12)

People, including the Jews, are looking for the Presence of God in us. They desire to see Jesus. But what they are beholding is the malice and wickedness that always proceed from the adamic nature.

Because the current definition of "grace" assures us we shall not certainly die even though we continue in sin and disobedience to God, that righteous and holy behavior no longer are necessary in order to please God, there is no moral light for the world to see.

We have been deceived by the greatest lie ever told.

Who among us will humble himself, pray, turn from his or her wicked ways, and seek the face of the Lord? (from The Greatest Lie Ever Told)
