(John 13: 16-21) - JESUS SPEAKS ABOUT THE CONTINUATION OF THE PLAN OF SALVATION.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his master, nor the greater messenger than he that sent him.
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
I do not speak of you all; I well know the ones I have chosen; but that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted up his heel against me.
From now on, I tell you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that I am.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man receiveth what I send, he receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
And when Jesus had said this, he was troubled in the spirit, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, One of you shall betray me.
(John 13: 16-21)
Jesus answered, It is he whom I shall give the bit wet. And he watered the bit, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
And after the morsel, Satan entered into it. And Jesus said, What you do, do it quickly.
(John 13: 26,27)
Dear brothers in Christ, it is with great joy that we are studying the word of God together with you, in the presence of the CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, in the presence of the LORD JESUS, and in the presence of the HOLY SPIRIT.
THE PLAN OF SALVATION it is complete, we speak every day about the PLAN OF SALVATION, about GOD'S DESIGN for the redemption of the human being.
Through all the studies we have done, and through all the knowledge we have obtained, through these studies, we have come to the conclusion that the PLAN OF SALVATION IS A PERFECT PLAN.
In the Old Testament we had the introduction of the PLAN OF SALVATION, where it was announced that the Messiah would come, and that he would suffer, die crucified, on the third day to rise again. All this happened as planned. CHRIST came, died, and rose again.
Before he died, HE himself announced that he would send someone to replace him, and that someone would have to have the same competence, and the same orientation that the LORD JESUS CHRIST had.
He announced to the disciples that he would send the CONSOLATOR, THE HOLY SPIRIT that would be here in this world from his departure to heaven, to the end of the PLAN OF SALVATION when all is finished.
This is reported in the Gospel of John, chapter 13, verses 16 through 21.
And in verses 26 and 27.
JESUS talking about the sequence of the PLAN OF SALVATION after his ascent to heaven.
He clarifies that it was necessary to send the HOLY SPIRIT, so that the human being would not remain after his death with a spiritual gap. We could not be alone, without someone guiding us, but it could not be anyone, could not be an angel.
As in the case of salvation could not be other, but the SON OF GOD. To accompany us between the resurrection of Christ and the return of CHRIST, it could not be other than God Himself, present in people's lives, through the HOLY SPIRIT, which is GOD also, see how GOD wrapped the most holy trinity completely in the PLAN OF SALVATION.
First came GOD communicating with the prophets, then sent his SON, and now we have the HOLY SPIRIT. Until the end.
In verse 16, HE speaks thus: "AND I WILL ROSE TO THE FATHER, AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER CONSOLATOR, SO THAT HE WILL FORGET ME FOREVER." See, what a PERFECT PLAN, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WITH US FOREVER TO THE END.
In verse 17: "THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH THAT THE WORLD CAN NOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SEE IT, YOU DO NOT KNOW IT, YOU KNOW IT, FOR IT LIVES WITH YOU, AND IT IS IN YOU." You see, dear brothers, what a beautiful thing, the HOLY SPIRIT, the world can not receive, because it does not see it, nor does it know it. But ye know him, because he dwelleth with you, and abides in you.
HE is within us, because our body is the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT.
In verse 26, He speaks thus: "BUT THAT COMFORTER, THE HOLY SPIRIT, THAT THE FATHER SHALL SENT IN MY NAME. THAT YOU WILL TEACH ALL THINGS, AND YOU WILL REMEMBER ALL THAT I HAVE SAID."
WHY CAN NOT THE WORLD RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT?
Because the world receives another spirit, the spirit of the prince of this world, the spirit of Lucifer, and where it inhabits one, the other logically will not dwell. But we, as we do not have the spirit of the world in us, receive the HOLY SPIRIT.
And most importantly, He teaches us all things, and reminds us of the whole PLAN OF SALVATION. Those who have the HOLY SPIRIT that has within them, receive guidance on all things. And he has a perfect mind, who knows the PLAN OF SALVATION and does not forget anything.
We of the libertospeloamordecristo.com.br have the HOLY SPIRIT inside us. We know him, and are guided, directed, and instructed by the HOLY SPIRIT. That is why we have a plan to conquer ONE MILLION SOULS FOR GOD, and we are passing on to all, the knowledge we receive from the HOLY SPIRIT.
AMEN,
GLORY TO GOD.
