THE ‘EXPRESS IMAGE OF THE PERSON’ OF GOD THE FATHER

August 4, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE ‘EXPRESS IMAGE OF THE PERSON’ OF GOD THE FATHER

“Who being the. . . . express image of His person.”

Heb. 1: 3, A.V.

For a Biblical reference on the glory of God being the sum total of His divine attributes, see Exo. 33: 18; 34: 6,7.

“Man was created [never evolved] in the image of God, but Christ [‘the only-begotten of the Father’] is the EXPRESS image of the Father. As a seal impresses an exact image of itself upon the wax, so Christ is the EXACT counterpart of God.”

REMEMBER WEEKLY THE CREATOR’S MEMORIAL DAY

May 25, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

REMEMBER WEEKLY THE CREATOR’S MEMORIAL DAY

See Exodus 20 : 8-11. And God said: “Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a SIGN between them and Me, that they might know that I SANCTIFY them.” Ezekiel 20 : 12 (See verse 20).

To the remnant who are faithfully keeping the commandments of God and overcoming their transgressions of God’s Law by grace, the “sign,” which also means “mark,” or “seal” has already been “written” in their mind, because it has already been committed to memory.

     And the Lord said to him (the man clothed in linen and had a writer’s inkhorn at his side), Go through the midst of the Jerusalem, and put a MARK on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.” Ezekiel 9: 4.

At the end of this sealing work  the merciful slaying of all those without it takes place.
