Do you believeth that Jesus is the Christ? How do you know that you believeth and are not just under a strong delusion? Many will say they believe but He will and does not know them because they do not know Him and because they are workers of iniquity. So the question is Who believeth?
Many recite that they believe that Jesus was the Christ and the son of God but they need to understand what that means and then they will manifest that faith in the fruit of their actions. If Christ makes a difference when we receive Him we will act accordingly. Our true belief will compel our actions.
What would that belief look like. We are told in the context of His teachings and those of His disciples.
We know that it is written in 1 John 5 "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
So there you have it that every one who believeth loveth him and that claim of loving God includes the keeping of His commandments. So anyone not keeping His commandments do not really believe nor do they love Him.[1] So it should be abundantly clear that keeping the commandments is the evidence of our love and if we keep not the commandments then we know that our love is false and we have need of repentance because it "is the love of God, that we keep his commandments".
So
The church lost "the way" when it abandoned the practice of "pure Religion" while claiming to be the Church established by Christ. The people developed an appetite for the "wages of unrighteousness" from "public religion" in the days of Constantine. Those new Christians that often failed to fully repent degenerated the moral character of society with the masses of "instant christians".
That new religion of the emperor introduced a new faith with his apostate church replacing the doctrine of Jesus with the "doctrines of men", the Holy Spirit with emotion, the truth with the speaking of "great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage."[2]
They had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof.
Where is your religion
- Where do you find the Daily ministration of the early Church, the Pure Religion of James and the Corban of Jesus?
- Are you following The Blessed Strategy of Christ like the Early Christians?
- Are you following The Way through Love of one another or the way of the world and the Fathers of the earth?
- Do you seek the benefits of bankrupt nations, or do you forgive and seek the benefits of Christ's appointed Kingdom?
- Do you only gather for the comfort it gives you, or do you gather to benefit others?
- Christ came to serve, not be served. Do you desire to be served, or are you coming in His name and according to His character to serve others?
If we desire His Grace but we only love those who love us, then there is no Grace because it is clear we do not really believe in Him.
If we do not Repent of our Covetous Practices and are not diligently gathering together in Free Assemblies of Love for all to provide for one another in Charity according to the Perfect law of liberty then we have nothing according to Paul. According to Luke 6:32 if we only love those who love us there is no "Grace". Christ also said if you do not Forgive neither will the Father forgive you.[3]
It is not enough to hate the deeds of the workers of iniquity, but we must return to Thy first love and thy first work. To break the yoke, we need to return to the ways of righteousness spoken of in Isaiah 58 which are the ways of Christ and the early Church. And His yoke is light for it is carried by our love of one another.
Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Christ all created Networks of charity to care for the true needy of society without force which is how they were able to help set people free. Do you gather with His Church to attend to the Weightier matters as Christ said?
- Are you gathering in a Network of righteousness?
- Do you come to love others or just be loved?
- Are your Congregations' gatherings fruitful enough so that no one has to pray to Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other?
- Does anyone in your Free Assemblies have to apply to the Fathers of the earth, or seek their many benefits?
Early Christians found themselves in conflict with these systems of social welfare because they made the word of God to none effect. Christians had repented of their covetous nature when they received the Baptism of Christ. They heard and became Doers of the word not hearers only.
Remember Proverbs 12:24, "The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the Slothful shall be under Tribute."
We know that liberty under God is not for the covetous who are Biting one another but it is also not for the slothful. If we are not congregating together in free assemblies bound together in a broad network by faith, hope, and charity alone according to the perfect law of liberty then we are not truly seeking the Kingdom of God nor His righteousness.
Today coveting your neighbors goods in a socialist state is legal. Everyone is encouraged by governments and their churches to take from one another through the process of voting in new taxes, more debt to obtain more benefits at the expense of your neighbor and children and grand children for generations to come.
Everyone wants free education, free healthcare, free protection and guaranteed Welfare from men who call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority directly opposite the instructions of Christ.
Everyone takes a bite out of one another[4] in these Covetous Practices. So some rebel and flee and say we will not take the benefits nor pay into such a system because we believe not in the ways of covetousness. But do they believe in love? Do they believe in Jesus? Do they believe in the Blood of Jesus? Are they a part of the Body of Christ?
When Judas was on his way to betray Christ Jesus said to His apostles:
- John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."
This was not a new commandment because Moses had already said it but he was giving them an old commandment anew. He was a second witness to the nature of God so that you would know who really believed.
- John 13:35 "By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
So do not tell me you believe but show me by your works.[5]
Today the world has returned to the bondage of Egypt to the vanity of Rome along with its decadence and corruption. The day of judgment is upon us and we have need of repentance. So the answer to to the question Who believeth is not found in endless repetitions or False religion but in Pure Religion. It is found in the answer to the question do you love one another? Do you attend to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.
The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.
The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.
The modern Christians are in need of repentance.
"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.
- One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.
- If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.[6]
