THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
-
First Chapter – Beloved brethren, our Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed the Gospel or the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven, saying, FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.For God sent not His son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him mightbe saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, becausehe hath not believed in The Name of the only begotten Son of God (JOHN 3:16-18). Yes, of a truth, this is oneof the most, if not the most.Beautiful and Inspiring Passages in the Holy Bible that many Christians today enjoy quoting and someeven preach as their main theme. Sad to say, however, my dear brethren, that this Good News that our Lordhas proclaimed has not been given the proper and sufficient explanation it deserves, to the end that it maywork effectually unto the real believers. And so now, the Spirit of The Lord has inspired and moved me, Hislowly and unworthy servant and your brother in Christ, to write a more expounding and comprehensiveexplanation regarding this much-endearing proclamation of Jesus Christ about God's Love for Mankind.I shall so do through the guidance of the Holy Spirit by paraphrasing the Whole Verse or Passage byparts and give them their meaning and importance. . .FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. . .My brethren, WHY DOES God SO LOVED, or Love the World SO MUCH? Have we ever wonderedwhy? And WHO is the World? Is it the Earth or the Planet that we live upon? Is it not MANKIND itself,Which is the People and Nation and the World of God in His Spirit?Yes, verily, my dear brethren, it is we. Mankind, who is considered as His Beloved World. But WHAT isMAN that God loves and cares for him so much, to the extent of GIVING His only Begotten Son to DIE FOR US? If His Firstborn and Eldest Son Jesus the Christ is His MOST BELOVED SON in Whom He is WELLPLEASED (as He has Testified in many places in the Scriptures), then tell me what think ye, How MUCHLOVED are WE, MEN or HUMANS, of God also, HE, having been able to bear the Grim thought of HisMost Beloved Son bruised, pierced, and dying on the Cross?
 
Are we not then AS EQUALLY LOVED OF GOD THE FATHER AS HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SONJESUS IS? Yes, indeed we truly are! Then What is Man that The Father was willing to OFFER His BelovedSon Jesus Christ for our REDEMPTION and SALVATION, to POUR OUT His Precious Blood, meaning toGive His Life for us? And Why, think ye, did The Christ come in the FORM of Man in the Flesh, like you andme, and not in the FORM of the Angels?Have we ever asked ourselves the question, WHO am I? or WHAT am I? That my God and Creator hasMANIFESTED so GREAT a LOVE for me that READILY and WITHOUT ANY HESITATION OR MEN-TAL RESERVATION Allowed, in fact, Willingly Offered His Son's Life for me? As the Scriptures saith, ButHe was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace wasupon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. . . Yet it PLEASED The Lord to bruise him; he hath put him togrief: when Thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, He shall prolong his days, andthe pleasure of The Lord shall prosper in his hand (ISAIAH 53:5, 10).But Why does He have to die in my STEAD? What am I, a mere man, to Him, that His only BegottenSon is given for me? Is it POSSIBLE that there EXISTS a sort of RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN my God andme, that is totally UNKNOWN to me? Is it then MORE than just a Relationship Between The CREATOR andHis CREATURE? Would not the MANIFESTATION of His GREAT LOVE for MAN, in offering His MOSTBELOVED SON to DIE FOR him CLEARLY SUGGEST in our heart and understanding that a SIMILAR KIND of CLOSE RELATIONSHIP, that is of A FATHER TO A SON, EXISTS at least in God's HEART forus?For until we can find the hidden ANSWERS to these intriguing personal questions and theUNDERSTANDING of the TRUTH about Man's RELATIONSHIP to his GOD and CREATOR we can notfully appreciate nor believe with all our heart the LOVE OF GOD FOR THE WORLD IN CHRIST. But allowme, dear brethren, to take this holy matter up later as this comprises a great part in the TESTIMONY of ourLord Jesus Christ unto the TRUTH of GOD. So, let us continue with the Gospel Passages...... THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH ...So God has DECREED that we must BELIEVE in His Son, that we may LIVE and not PERISH. ButWHAT should we BELIEVE in Jesus Christ that we may live? Is it only that of His Person or Divine Role -that He is The Annointed One, The Redeemer, The Messiah or The Christ or The Son of God? Is it only bymerely Calling and Accepting Him as our Lord that we easily partake of His Grace of Salvation andRedemption as many profess to say and preach?But WHAT saith The Lord Jesus about this? For He said, Not every one that saith unto Me Lord, Lord,shall ENTER into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that DOETH the Will of My father Which is in Heaven(MAT 7:21). So then, it is only he who DOES the Will of God can truly Enter into the Kingdom of Heaven;But What is The Will of The Father in Heaven that we may try to do it? Is not for Every One to BELIEVE IN
 
HIS SON Jesus Christ, and that is in His Testimony or Witness unto The TRUTH of God, and to hear andobey His Commandments which The Father gave to us through Him? Allow me, again, brethren, to discussfurther these important matters in the middle part of my epistles for the sake of good order andunderstanding. Meantime, let us go back and finish elaborating on the Passage . . .That Whosoever Believeth on Him
 SHOULD NOT PERISH...
 But WHY should we PERISH, if we CHOSE NOT to Believe in Him? Why, Because God HASJUDGED that ALL have SINNED and COME SHORT of the Glory of God (ROMANS 3:23). And the Penaltyfor Sin is DEATH; for When He Commanded the First Man, ADAM the Forerunner of us all, NOT TO EATof the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, He Emphatically added that "FOR IN THEDAYTHAT THOU EATEST THEREOF
THOU SHALT SURELY DIE"
(GENESIS 2:17).1-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And so, when Adam did not HEARKEN UNTO THE WORDS OF GOD (having instead hearkened tothe voice of intreatment of his wife.Eve, who was in turn earlier deceived by the Serpent or the Devil), theFirst Sin, which was DISOBEDIENCE and DISBELIEF Entered into the WORLD or MAN and consequentlythe PENALTY or the WAGES thereof, that is DEATH (Both of the Earthy Body and the Soul) accompanyingit (ROMANS 6:23); Wherefore, as By one Man Sin entered into the World and Death By Sin; and so
 Death passed upon all men, for that All have sinned 
(ROMANS 5:12).And as the apostle Paul further wrote, saying. What then? are we BETTER than they? No, in no wise:for we have before proved both JEWS and GENTILES, that they are ALL UNDER SIN; As it is written,
There
is
 NONE Righteous, no, not ONE:
There is
 NONE that UNDERSTAND, there is NONE that SEEKETH after GOD.
They are ALL Gone Out of The WAY, they are ALL TOGETHER become UNPROFITABLE;there is
 NONE that Doeth GOOD, no NOT ONE . . .
(ROMANS 3:9-18).And again, God looked down from heaven upon the children of MEN, to SEE if there were ANY that didUNDERSTAND, that did SEEK GOD. EVERY ONE of them is one Back: they are ALTOGETHER becomeFILTHY; there is NONE that Doeth GOOD, no, NOT ONE (PSALM 53:2-3). Therefore by this REALITY,my dear brothers and sisters, WE are ALL CONDEMNED to DIE because of SINS andUNRIGHTEOUSNESS, and are DOOMED for ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. This is the BAD and SAD NEWS,but then in the APPOINTED TIME God sent His Son Jesus Christ into the world with the GOOD NEWS,saying...FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; BUT THATTHE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED ...But how is this SALVATION possible? How? By God's own MIGHTY OPERATION and Divine WILL.
