THE FOUNDATION OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

John 1;1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

BECOMING DEAD TO THE LAW THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD.




Romans 7;4 Become dead (put to death) to the law, going (through, dia- channel of an act) the body of CHRIST (His suffering and death) upon His Cross at Calvary, that you should be married to him who is raised out from the dead that we may bring fruit unto GOD.

Because well meaning Christians struggle and become frustrated (letting Satan, The Accuser snatch away) their Victory in CHRIST. Why? (They do not become dead Spiritually to The Law, trying to live the Law of The Letter - Mosaical Law), THE LAW HAS BEEN FULFILLED BY CHRIST FOR YOUR BENEFIT.

Ga 5:4 You are alienated from Christ, (you who desire to be justified by the law). You have fallen away from grace.

When GOD created man, His purpose of Law was to Protect Adam and Eve's welfare. Because Adam and Eve broke GOD's Law (being tempted of Satan), DO NOT EAT of The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:16,17), their PRISTINE RELATIONSHIP changed with their Loving Creator and Death was their result. Death means (SEPARATION FROM). So when GOD said in the day that you disobey me and eat of The Forbidden Tree YOU SHALL SURELY DIE, they became SEPARATED FROM Their Pristine Relationship (Death was The Result). All of their progeny Inherited Their Sin Nature (the tendency to break GOD's Law), therefore Death, its ultimate end is in physical death.

1John 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin, transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Because man is a helpless sinner, (if he breaks The Law in just one point) he is guilty of breaking the whole chain of The Mosaical Law.

Because of Who THE SON OF GOD IS (PERFECT, THE VERY IMAGE OF GOD THE FATHER, Hebrews 1:3), HE CAME TO FULFIL THE LAW. Joh 10:10 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Matthew 5:17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Because He fulfilled The Law (for only HE could do so) for HIS WORK UPON HIS CROSS (SHEDDING HIS BLOOD IN TOTAL PAYMENT FOR OUR PERSONAL SIN DEBT), we have TOTAL VICTORY IN CHRIST's WORK ON HIS CROSS. Satan can no longer Accuse the Sinner before THE FATHER for The Sinners (SIN DEBT IS PAID IN TOTAL) THROUGH (dia) HIS SON'S HOLY SACRIFICE UPON HIS CROSS AT CALVARYS HILL. (Roman 7:4 we are dead to the law THROUGH (dia) THE BODY OF CHRIST).

Hebrews 9:22
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

HE HAS BECOME OUR EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS (Jeremiah 23:6 ).

Romans 10:4
For CHRIST is the end of the law into righteousness to every one that believeth.

IF YOU BELIEVE THIS, THEN HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR BECAUSE HE IS THE END OF THE LAW INTO RIGHTEOUSNESS. (REST) IN THAT FACT. THE LAW HAS BEEN FULFILLED FOR YOU.

THE SPIRITUAL REST IN CHRIST

Joh 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Ro 8:2
For (The Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus) hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Hebrews 4:10
For he that is entered into HIS REST, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Hebrews 4:11
Let us labour therefore to enter into (that Rest), lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
