Part 2
"He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:10-13
The Father, creator of the universe, walked among His
people. He came manifest in flesh so He could die for our sins and save us. He
is our Savior. He came in His name of salvation, JESUS (“LORD Salvation”). (Exodus
15:2, Isaiah 43:11, Luke 2:11, Titus 2:13).
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -
Acts 4:12
He taught that we must be born of water and of the Spirit to
enter His kingdom. He gave the keys to His kingdom to His disciple Peter. On
the Day of Pentecost, Peter preached the keys to the kingdom.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38
On that day, His Spirit filled His people, as He promised. (Luke
24:49, Acts 1:4-5, Acts 2:33).
He gave us His Spirit so we could once again be one with
Him. By our obedience to the gospel, we can claim His promise and receive the
gift of His Spirt within us.
Jesus is our Father. His Spirit gives us the power to
overcome sin, and the power to be witnesses unto the world.
"But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or
what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall
speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which
speaketh in you." - Matthew 10:19-20 KJV
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called
in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and
Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." -
Ephesians 4:4-6
