Salvation- The True Story
Jesus Christ brought with him what is known as THE NEW COVENANT, which is the COVENANT OF A NEW HEART, A HEART RESURRECTED UNTO THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THE SPIRIT OF DIVINE AGAPE LOVE.
Ezekiel 36:26-27
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Ezekiel 36:27
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
This is the basis of the NEW COVENANT, and the NEW COVENANT IS A NEW HEART OF DIVINE AGAPE, WHICH IS THE SPRITI OF GOD. Jesus referred to this when he said you MUST BE BORN FROM ABOVE, BORN WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD:
John 3:2-8
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. [8] The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Jesus is being very blunt here. YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN, or YOU CANNOT ENTER OR EVEN SEE (COMPREHEND, EXPERIENCE, OR UNDERSTAND) THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. It is impossible, said Jesus, for ANYONE AT ALL TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN UNLESS AND UNTIL THEY ARE BORN AGAIN.
But what does it mean to be BORN AGAIN? Another word for it is REGENERATION. You don’t it find much in the NEW TESTAMENT, but it is worth looking at:
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
The NEW COVENANT is very blunt as well. NO GOOD WORKS WILL GET ANYONE INTO HEAVEN; NO "WORKS OF RIGHTEUSNESS" SHALL PREVAIL. The only way in to heaven is via REBIRTH, which is called REGENERATION. It all goes back to the FALL OF MAN AT GENESIS, IN THE OPENING STORY OF MANKIND. The FALL OF MAN WAS REAL. Mankind was CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. That image is DIVINE AGAPE. Mankind’s spirit and soul were PURE DIVINE AGAPE, and because PERFECT LOVE IS ITS OWN LAW, no law was given to ADAM and EVE. They did not need it – they had it IN THEIR HEARTS. When the KNOWELDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL WAS INJESTED INTO THEIR SPIRIT AND SOUL, DIVINE AGAPE WAS LOST, because DIVINE AGAPE is 100% PURE, and it has NO KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD OR EVIL. It is TRANSCENDENT OF MORAL OR ETHICAL CONCERNS – it IS SO FAR SUPERIOR TO MORAL/ETHICAL CONCERNS that do not apply – it is AUTOMATICALLY FULFILLED BY "DIVINE LOVE".
Romans 13:8-10
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth (AGAPE) another hath fulfilled the law. [9] For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [10] (AGAPE) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore (AGAPE) love is the fulfilling of the law.
The only reason the TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN IS TO TELL MANKIND THAT HE DOES NOT AGAPE LOVE, HE DOES NOT HAVE THE LOVE OF GOD WITHIN HIM, IT WAS LOST AT THE FALL. You don’t have to order people to LOVE GOD or THEIR NEIGHBOR is they ALREADY DO. The fact is, MANKIND LOST DIVINE LOVE AT THE FALL, AND BECAUSE HE DID, HE IS LOST, FOR THE UNIVERSE IS RUN UNDER DIVINE AGAPE LOVE. To word it another way, the ISSUE between MAN and GOD is a LOVE TYPE ISSUE:
MANKIND’S LOVE vs. GOD’S LOVE
For all practical purposes, you can CALL THE LOVE OF MANKIND PHILEO, in ALL OF ITS TYPES. There are many types of phileo love listed. It is not that mankind does not have a TYPE of AGAPE, but that he does not have DIVINE AGAPE. This is why Peter got into an debate with the resurrected Jesus Christ, and this debate is vital to understand why MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS STAND BEFORE JESUS CHRIST TOTALLY REJECTED – THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT BEING BORN AGAIN REALLY WAS, OR WHAT IT MEANT!!
John 21:13-17
Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. [14] This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
[15] So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, (AGAPE) lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I (PHILEO) love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. [16] He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, (AGAPE) lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I (PHILEO) love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. [17] He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, (PHILEO) lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, (PHILEO) Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I (PHILEO) love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
