(James 2:19-26 NASB) "You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. 20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God. 24 You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works, when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead."

In the above scripture, we have a description of how the Spirit of Faith that we have been given at birth, is activated to produce the Works of Faith, that gives us the Power to receive salvation, when we read or hear the Word of God. By using the Spirit of Faith, which is a Spiritual Gift from God, to believe His every Word, we can receive the Living Faith of Jesus Christ. The Word of Faith, in our life, will cause us to follow Him as a Son, into everything that our Father teaches us to do. Eph 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" It is not we who save ourselves. It is the Spirit of Faithfulness that God gave to us,to call us into Son-Ship with Him that saves us.

If the faith we have, cames from our carnal spirit, our hope of salvation is by the works of man. Salvation is only given to those who have the Living Faith of Jesus Christ, a Faith that produces the Works of God. The Faith of Jesus Christ, is a Live giving Spirit, living in us as our Father. We get no credit from God for our salvation. The Grace, that saves us, is the free gift of Faithfulness that He give us, to bring us into a Father-Son relation-ship. If we use our free gift to be Faithful to believe and live our life in the Words from the Father of Life, we will be saved by the same Spirit of Faithfulness, that saved Jesus and made Him the Christ of God. If we do not use our gift of Faith, to be Faithful, to live the Life that the Father wants to gave us, He will give us His Eternal Life as a Son. We are not His Son, but the son of our carnal father's life we serve in our flesh through unbelief.

We must remember that all people have been given a gift of faith to believe in God. If we use His gift of Faith to receive the Father's Life, living in His Word, into our hearts and minds, we receive the Seed of Life from our Father in Heaven. This Seed of Life from the Father, starts His New Life within us, and that New Life is the Seed of the Father's Son, in us. The Words that we must be faithful eat of, as a New Son, must only be the Words from our Heavenly Father's Spirit of Life. These are the Words, that were spoken by the Life of God, living in Christ Jesus. If we do not live by God's every Word, then we are not a Faithful Son, and we are eating of strange doctrines. Adam, ate the strange doctrines of the carnal life found in Satan, and died to the Pure Life of a Son in Christ. James 2:24 "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." James 2:26 "For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead."

In this verse we see that salvation is equated with the Life that Works from within us, through our Faith. God's Life, living in us, produces His Work, through our Faithfulness to live His Righteous Life. The Works, that our Fathers Life, Works through us as His Body, are not our works, but the Works of the God that lives His Life in us. His Life, living in us, made us, His Sons. The Life in the Son, can only produce the works of the Father that gave life. to His Son. If we have no Works from our Faith in Christ, our faith is un-faith, because Christ is not working through our faith. No Works, means that the Life of Christ is not living in us, and we are still dead to our un-believe.

By using our life born from Adam, and being Faithful to live God's Life, from His Word, we can become alive in God, by God's Word becoming alive in us, by living as a Son of God John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The abundant Life, Jesus is talking about, is the New Life from the Father, that we receive as His Sons when we believe in Him and do His will as a Faithful servent slave to His Will. If we do not do the Will of the Father in Heaven, but the will of Satan on earth, than, we are being destroyed by Satan life style living in us. John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." By being faithful to do His Will, found in His Word, our life can be changed to become the Living Word of God. By living all the Words of God, we grows up into a Mature Son of God.

works of righteousness produced through the flesh of man.

By not yielding our life to live the old life of the carnal man of sin, that lives in us from birth, we can live the New Life of Christ, by hearing and doing God's Will. Satan lives in our carnal nature, but he cannot overcome our Faith in Christ and destroy our New Life as a Child of God, if we are faithful to live only by God's Word. The abundant Life from God, is only found in us when we live our life in the Righteousness of the Life of Christ, which is the Kingdom of God.. Mat 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Because we have giving our life to Christ, to live the Righteousness of God the Father, found in His words and teachings, He become alive in us. By doing the Will of God, we have the Life of Christ, alive from His Word living in us from the Righteousness of His Word. When we do what Christ said to do, we allow the Life of Christ to live through us, and doing His works of Righteousness in us. (John 8:31 NASB) "Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;"

Doing Satan's will, is the way that Satan lives in us, and is doing his sin works, through us. When we listen to Satan, we allow Satan to take over our lives and make us a slave to do his evil works through our flesh. (John 8:34 NASB) "Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin." Both Christ and Satan, want our lives to live in, and do their works through, here on earth. When we do not submit our lives to doing only God's Righteous Works, we are allowing Satan access to that part of our life that we do not submit to God. God and Satan are both spirits of life, and need an earthly body to work through. The flesh and blood does not do the works in the body. It is the life that lives in the flesh and blood, that is doing it's works through the body. If Christ is the only Way of Life, that we allowed to live in our body, than the works produced by the life in our bodies, will always be His works, as they are produced by God's Life in us.

If Satan conveniences us to allow him to be the life, that is living in our body, the works will always be his works that are produced by his carnal way of life. If we do the works of both Christ and Satan, we are double minded in our service to God. James 1:8 "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." If we have other works, then the Works of God in our Life, than we have not submitted our life to living only the Life of Christ, found only in His Living Word.

When one receive the Anointing from God, that contains His Kingdom Life from Heaven, called the Christ, that person become a Spiritual Son, born of God. When one receives the New Life, called Christ, into their physical life, and live together as one, in the one body, that person is reconciled to God. The New Life of God, in the Anointing, is only given to a person when they become a Mature Son of God. One only becomes Mature by living His Righteous Life in their flesh. The Anointing of God's Life, called the Christ, makes us a Son of God, in the flesh, and puts the Kingdom of God within us here on earth. (Mat 6:10 KJV) "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

God's Life, living in us, and His Life Speaking through us, as the Life in our bodies, gives us the authority to ask anything according to His Will, and gives God, the authority to do His Works through His Life, living in us, here on earth. When we speak from the Life in us as a Son of God, that we received through God's Anointing in us, the Life of God in us, will do the Miracle of creating the thing ask for. The Anointing from God's Life, is called the Kingdom of God when God's Life is again living in us as our Father. The Anointing of the Life of God, that Works the Miracles, is only given to a Mature Son of man, who is living his life in the teachings of Christ, and doing the will of God by keeps all His commandments. (Mat 16:25 NASB) "For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it."

By us crucifying our old man of sin and giving our life to Faithfully following God's Way of Life, the same life lived by Christ Jesus, we have fulfilled His required obedience to become a Son of God. This is the only Way Christ made for us to enter the Kingdom of God. Be trusting Him through our obedience to live His Holy Life, we will Please God and received His Anointing. Gal 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." By studying the Word of God and realigning our Way of life to agree with His Righteous Life Style, that was lived by Christ Jesus, found in the His Word, we will slowly be changed into living our Life in Christ Jesus. (John 14:6 KJV) "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

The Faith we receive from reading the Word of God, should remove our dis-obedience to the Laws of God that are resident in our carnal nature. Through our New found Faith in Christ Jesus, the Word of God, is establish in us for first time in our life. The Faith of Jesus Christ, living in us, through our faith in Him and His Word, will establishes a new relationship with the Life of a Righteous God. This New Faith in Christ, brings us into a New Life, a Life of Obedient to His Holy Standard of Life, living in Jesus Christ Rom 8:7-8 KJV) "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. {8} So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God."

By using our New Life in Christ, received through our Faith in Him, we can live the Life of Christ, found in the Word of God. Christ is able, through our Faith in the Son of God, to remove all the sin from within us When we have been delivered from the evil in us, through our Faithful Obedience to live the Word of God, God can put the Life of the Kingdom of God, back into us as our God, making us a Spiritual Son. God will than be reconciled as One with His created Son of God. God living as the Life in His Son, can once again manifest His Power, to show forth His Glory in the Life of the Sons of Men. (Rom 3:23 KJV) "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (John 14:13-15 KJV) "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. {14} If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. {15} If ye love me, keep my commandments."

If we continue to live by Faith, and walk in every truth that is revealed to us, in His Perfect Law of Liberty , we will be set free from sin, and grow daily into the Pure Life of our New Man, Christ Jesus. (James 1:25 KJV) "But who so looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." (2 Cor 3:17-18 KJV) "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. {18} But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

When we eat and drink His Word daily, we grow up into a Son of God and Please the Father in Heaven. If we do not eat and drink of His Word of Life, we have no Life in us. (John 6:53-56 KJV) "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. {54} Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. {55} For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. {56} He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him."

When this transformation has taken place in our live, the New Covenant contract will have been fulfilled by God through our Faith in Jesus Christ. (Heb 8:10-11 KJV) "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest."

the holy covenant of god.

(Heb 8:9-11 TLB) "This new agreement will not be like the old one I gave to their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; they did not keep their part in that agreement, so I had to cancel it. {10} But this is the new agreement I will make with the people of Israel, says the Lord: I will write my laws in their minds so that they will know what I want them to do without my even telling them, and these laws will be in their hearts so that they will want to obey them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people. {11

And no one then will need to speak to his friend or

neighbor or brother, saying, You, too, should know the Lord,' because everyone, great and small, will know me already."

God made this Covenant with us for our deliverance from sin.. In it, He says, that He will put His Laws into our minds and write them into our lives: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. If God wanted to, He could speak and all the dead would come out of the grave. However, there is one thing that God cannot do, and that is to put His Anointing into a person and make him His Spiritual Son, when he is living a life outside of the Laws of His Kingdom. To do that, God would make Himself a partaker of that man's evil deeds and divide His Own Kingdom. He can only put His Anointing into a Mature Son of God who has allowed his obedience to the Faith of Jesus Christ, to cleanse him from his sin of being an outlaw, living outside of the Righteous Laws of God's Kingdom.

The Covenant is a contract that a Holy, Righteous God, made with all mankind for their salvation from their un-righteousness way of life. Sin is defined as living outside of God's Holy Laws. See (2 Pet.2: 20-22). When a man truly believes in Christ and follows in complete obedience to His Words, God will make him a Righteous Son of God through the Faith of Jesus Christ. In Christ there is no sin, and whosoever abideth in him sinneth not. A mans actions, through Faithfully following the teaching of the Life in Christ, will allow the Spirit of the Life in Christ, to replace the law of sin and death, that lives in everyone, from transgressing the Holy Laws of God's Kingdom. God will write His' Words (Laws) in the man's life and his mind, and complete His work of giving him a re-birth of God's Life. A re-birth makes the man, the Spiritual Sons of God. Only a man who is right with God, and can be trusted with God's Life in the Anointing, will be given it. Only those who Pleased God by Loving the Righteousness in Christ Jesus, and Hating the Evil in the carnal world, will receive the promise of the Anointing.

The writing of God's Laws into our minds and in our life, can only happen when we study the Covenant Laws of His Kingdom and hear the voice of God. We must always listen to what He it is teachings us. Psa 119:11 "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." The only way we can control sin, is by knowing what the Law said to do, and not to do. We cannot allow ourselves to transgress God's Holy Ways, and still think that we have a right to salvation. We must not allow sin to manifest its Evil works through us. We can only do this by His Faith living in us, and we living in Him, by our Faith in the Son of God. Our Faith in the Words of Christ, must be strong enough to draws us to walk in the Light of God's Word. We must also believe God's Word, when He said, the Soul that transgresses, God's Righteous Laws will die. If we do not believe that His Judgements for our sins, are true, we will not stop transgressing His Holy Laws. Adam lost the Glory and Image of God when he transgressed God's Commandment, not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of Evil.

Adam lost the Anointing of God's Life in him, and was dead to the Life of God. We cannot get the Anointing back if we still have the evil one, living in us. That's is why Adam lost the Kingdom. We are now being re-created into the Image of God through God's second Son, Jesus Christ, who had no sin in Him. The Word of God prepares us to receive back what Adam lost through sin. This can only be done by us destroying the works of the Devil, in us. When we are free from Evil One's works, and again only living in the Righteousness of God, we are restored to the Kingdom of God, by God again living in us as our God. Mat 6:13 "but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." Luke 17:21 "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

Christ came to earth to give us His plan of redemption from our sins, and to demonstrate in His Son, Jesus, the Life of Righteousness that God requires from man, to enter the Kingdom. He shows us the fulfilment of the plan of salvation for man, through Jesus, who had no sin, and was Anointed by the Father, with the Glory and Honour lost by Adam's sin. The Glory, Honour and Power, in the Kingdom of God's Righteousness, was restored to mankind, through the Man Jesus Christ. (1 John 3:8-9 KJV) "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."

If we do not allow God to destroy the works of the Devil in us, by our obedience to His Word, we are still the servant of the Devil and not fit for the Kingdom. We must go all the way with God, and let Him produce His complete Works of Righteousness in us. God's Righteous Life, in us, will produce the same signs and wonders that God's Life in Jesus produced for the Glory of God. If we only have a form of Godliness, without the manifestation of the power of God's Life living in us, we do not have the Anointing of Christ that makes us a born again Christian. (2 Tim 3:5 KJV) "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." Luke 9:62 "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

All sons born of god, do the works of god, from the life of god born within them.

(John 10:25 KJV) "Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me." How did the people in the days of Jesus Christ know that Jesus was the Son of God? The Christ in Him, was producing the Works of God, that are only produced by the creative power in God's Life when it is living in a person. (Luke 17:21 KJV) "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." The purpose for God coming to earth in Jesus Christ, was to re establish the Kingdom of God, again on earth in the lives of His Created Sons of God, that was lost by Adam's transgression.

(Luke 3:38 TLB) " Adam's father was God." (Mat 5:48 KJV) "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." If one is the Son of God, and not the Son of Man, by a re-birth of God's Life in Christ, them it is the Life of God, His Father who is speaking through the body of the Son. (Mat 10:20 KJV) "For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you." If we are to obtain to the Life of Son of God, born of the Kingdom of God, we must no longer live to the life in us from our carnal father, but we must live our life, in the Life of Christ, born from our Heavenly Father. Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

the works that I do shall he do also.

(John 14:11-15 KJV) "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. {12

Verily, verily,

I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. {13} And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. {14} If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. {15} If ye love me, keep my commandments." SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30 "For My yoke is easy, and My load is light." God has revealed His Son to us in His Word, and we can know the Father and Son only if we live our life in the Spirit of His Life from His Word. John 6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." (Prov 3:5 KJV) "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."

We can see from these two scriptures that the Words in the two Testaments contain the truth and understanding, of what the Life of a Son of God is, and how Christ wants us to understand is, and to live it. God's Pure Life must replacing our old life of evil that lives in us. His Life of Holiness, reborn into us, is what brings us into Son-ship with Him, and gives us His Rest. John 4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." The word worship, comes from the Sumerian word that means the "Workers of the Lordship". What the scripture is saying, is that we must become a worker for God, One who will do the Lord's Work and His Work only. (Luke 22:42 NASB) " yet not My will, but Thine be done." If we are doing our own will, part of the time, we are not a True servant of God and we are not worthy of God's Kingdom.

we only know god's life in us, when his life is living in us, and doing god's works through us.

We know that we know Him when His Spirit of Life, is living in us, and He is doing Gods Works through the Words that He speaks through us as Sons. (Mat 10:20 NASB) "For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you." Only when we become yoked together in His Spirit of Righteousness, as one Life, Father and Son, can His Holy Spirit of Life, live in us, to give us the things that the Life of God asks for to meet our needs. (Mat 6:31-33 NASB) "Do not be anxious then, saying, What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink? or With what shall we clothe ourselves?' {32} "For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. {33} "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you."

We will not worry about what we are going to eat tomorrow if the Kingdom of God is within us. The Anointing of God's Life in us will provide all our needs by the power of God's Righteousness living in us What we must concentrate on, is that we do God's Will to receive God's Righteousness and enter into the Kingdom. Once we are in God's Kingdom, we must concentrate on not transgressing God's Holy Laws that defines His Righteousness, and lose the Anointing. Heb 12:4 "Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin." (Mat 6:33 KJV) "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

If we are in Christ, and Christ is in us, how do we know that the Holy Spirit of Christ is living in us? When the Holy Spirit is in us from reading and doing the Word of God, He will convict us of our un-righteousness, and He will try to lead us out of our life of sin, by our faith to live in His Truth. If we do not do what the Spirit is saying to do, His Life in the Word of God, cannot grow up to maturity. If we have no works in our life from submitting our life to Christ, our faith is dead When we follow Christ, He frees us from the sin of transgressing God's righteousness, as found in the Holy Laws.

Satan's evil ways will no longer be written in our minds and living in our lives. When God's Laws are written in our hearts and minds by Obedience to His Word, by our Faith in Jesus Christ, we are candidates to receive the Anointing, that fulfils the New Covenant promise, of making us His Sons and Christ becoming a God, living in us. If the Spirit of God's Life, is in us, by His Anointing,we are a Brand New Man in Christ. All the works in us, will then be produced by the Life in Christ, who is God, in the Anointing. (Rom 8:14-16 KJV) "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:"

When we become a Son of God by the virtue of Christ living in us, than all the Works from within us will be generated by the Life that we received from Him. It is His New Life within us that makes us a Son of God. If we do not have His Anointing in us, we are not His Sons, but only babies in Christ. When the only life in us is from our earth father, we are still carnal people. If we have the Spirit in us, that comes just through Faith in God's Word, than we are babies in Christ. When we have the Anointing of Christ, we are adopter Sons of Christ. What kind of Works will the Son of God produce? The same works that Jesus did as the Son of God.

(John 14:10-14 KJV) "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."

What is the Image of God, or the Godliness, that we must obtain to, before we can receive the Anointing that puts the Life of God, back into us as Sons of God? (1 Pet 4:18 KJV) "And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" (Luke 1:74-75 NASB) "To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear, {75} In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days." (Rom 8:28-29 NASB) "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. {29} For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren;"

The Words that the Father spoke through Jesus Christ, the Son of His Life, reveals Their Likeness and Their Godliness. First Their Likeness is revealed in Their Oneness. The Father and Son are One, living in the same body. (John 10:30 NASB) "I and the Father are one." That's why the Son is called by the Father's Name, God or the Christ. The Father and Son living together as one person. (John 17:22-23 NASB) "And the glory which Thou hast given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, just as We are one; {23} I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and didst love them, even as Thou didst love Me."

The purpose that Jesus Christ came to earth, was to reconcile us back to the Holy Life of God, so that we could again be One in Them, by the Christ living in us as our God and Father. (1 Cor 12:12-13 NASB) "For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. {13} For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit."

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness."

To be Godly, we must have the same Righteousness in us, from keeping the same Commandments that Jesus Christ keeps. We can have Their Righteousness, by being Righteous as They are Righteous. Mat 6:25 "Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Rom 14:17 "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." (1 John 2:28-29 KJV) "And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. {29} If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him." (1 John 3:7-8 KJV) "Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. {8} He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

God Righteousness can only be put on, by keeping God's Holy Commandments. (Deu 6:25 NASB) "And it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all this commandment before the LORD our God, just as He commanded us." (2 Sam 22:21-22 KJV) "The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. {22} For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God." (1 Ki 8:32 KJV) "Then hear thou in heaven; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness."

We can see from these scriptures that the people who live Righteous before God, by keeping His Holy Commandments, are the Ones who will stand before God on the Judgement Day and will not be condemned as sinners, because they have His Righteousness living in them. (Psa 9:8 KJV) "And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness." (1 Cor 6:9 KJV) "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind," The admonition from God, to all men who live ungodly lives is; (Eccl 12:13 KJV) "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

His likeness and image, is implanted into us by us doing His Will. Through the faith that He has given to us, God can free us from the sin nature that causes us to live apart from of the laws of Righteousness, containing His Holy Nature. When we are free from the sin of living outside of His Word, His Anointing can be given to us. The Anointing makes us a Spiritual Son of God. When we are a Spiritual Son of God, we will be free from the sin that causes us to come short of His Glory, because His Anointing will do all the Works of God from within us and Glorify Himself through His Son. The Sons of God on earth are only an Image of the Glory that they will have with Him after the resurrection.

The difference now, is that the Anointing will only continue to dwell in the man and do it's works through him as long as the man remains within the covenant and does not transgress it. In the present Kingdom of God, Christ will do greater works than in the Old Testament because the Kingdom is available to all who will believe on Him. He will do the same works through us as Anointed Sons of God, as He did through Jesus when He was Anointed as the Son of God.

sin is the transgression of the law covenant.

The Sin that God is freeing us from by His Faith living in us, are the sins we had before we become a Son of God. Sin is defined as the transgression of the written laws in God's Holy Word. If sin was not limited to the written laws (Word) of God, no man could repent of his sins, as he would have no definition of sin to give him power over it. Living in the truth, sets us free from living a lie. With the removal of this sin from us, by us now living in the Righteousness of the Words of God, we become a candidate to receive the Anointing. Man is still subject to the sin nature when he is in the Kingdom of God in this life, but he rules over all the powers of the Devil through the Faith of Jesus Christ in him, and keeps himself free from doing Satan's evil works. The Faith of Jesus Christ has already overcome the sin in the world, and has it under His control.

If we submit ourselves to living by the Faith of Jesus Christ, we too will overcome the sin in the world. The Faith of Jesus Christ will not allow a person to live in sin. The process God uses to create us into Spiritual Sons, will continue until it is completed in the New Heaven and New Earth, wherein dwelleth Righteousness. We must allow Him to ex-change the lies of Satan in us for the truth of God in His Word. We do this one truth at a time by searching for the truth in the Word. John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." The truth, if we live in it, will remove the control that the lies of Satan, has over us. We will then be living in the freedom that God gives us from sin, and we will be walking in the Light of God's Word. John 8:36 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

coming short of the glory of god by nothaving god's righteousness living in them.

The second definition for sin in the Bible is: Rom 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Coming short of the Glory of God in our life can only be fulfilled after we have received the Anointing that gives us His authority to Speak as the Son of God. When we are a Son of God and God's Life is living within us, is will speaks the Words of God. All the Works of Christ will then be done in us, as they were in Jesus Christ. (See Mark 16: 17-20) (2 Cor 3:16-18 KJV) "Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

The purpose for Christ coming in the person of Jesus was to re-establish mankind back into the Glory of God that Adam lost through sin. Jesus Christ was the second Adam and He was without sin. Jesus was the Anointed of God, the first Son of Man restored back to the Glory of God as the Son of God, and to show forth the Glory of God in everything He did and said. When the Life of Christ has been restored in us by God living in us, we become His Sons and He becomes our Father. The Life that produces all the Works desired by the Son, is the Life of the Father. When we can speak as a Spiritual Son of God, the Life of Christ from within us will do all the Works that we ask for. (John 14:11-14 NASB) "Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me; otherwise believe on account of the works themselves. 12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father. 13 "And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it."

Christ is the Righteous Life Force in His Spiritual Sons and the Life of Christ will Glorify Himself in His Sons. We must be born as a Son of God if God is going to be Glorified in us. If man is going to be found in God's Glory, he must be born again from the Father's Spirit of Life. When the Eternal Life force, called Christ, is placed into the man's life and mind, they become one. When Christ is in the man, he becomes a Son. The Life of Christ that makes the man a Son is the source of all the man's works. John 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."

The Spirit of Truth that we receive from God's Word, when we keep His Commandments, will lead us into all the truths. (See John 7:16-18) When the Spirit of truth has made us free from sin, we can receive the Anointing of God as Sons. (1 John 2:4-6 KJV) "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But who so keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."

The Son of God is called the "WORD OF GOD" because it is God's Spirit of Life that Spoke the Words through Jesus Christ. One cannot separate the Son of God from the Word of God. They both come from the same Source of Life, Jesus Christ. We cannot become a Son of God unless we first abide in the WORD OF GOD. The two are one and the same Person. Only when we are living our life in the Word of God, by hearing and doing it, is the Spirit of Life, who is the source of the Word, Jesus Christ, able to abide in us, and are we able to abide in Christ.

The Word of God reveals the full Revelation of the Life Style of the Divine Nature of the Life called God. God wants us, to have His Divine Nature in our life, formed in us through our obedience to His Righteous and Holy Commandments. He wants to put His Anointing in us, so we can passed from the carnal life in man, that is dead from sin to a Life that is alive through His Righteous Life living in us. John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." John 15:7 "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

When we have done our part, by Our Faithfulness to God's plan of salvation, to bring us into the Kingdom of God, then God can fulfil His promises made to us in His Word by placing the Kingdom of God within us. (Luke 17:21 KJV) "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Luke 12:32 "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."

the grace of god given to man.

The Father sent the Son of God, Who is called the Word of God, Jesus Christ, to live in and through the man Jesus by His Anointing. He came to lead and guide us to live His Life, by showing us His Life, living in human flesh, and manifesting the Power of His Righteousness when it is living in a man. He gave us His Word, who was Christ, living in the person of Jesus, to die on the cross to pay the debt demanded of the Father, for our transgression of His Holy Commandments. The Father demanded that the penalty for our transgression of His Holy Word be paid in full, before He would take men, who had lived a life of sin by living outside of His Word, back into His Kingdom.

When we are doing what is right with God once again, by using God's gift of Faith to obey His will, God is able to remove the spirit of Evil, that had made man a sinner. God did not destroy us because of our sins, but gave us His Word so we could know how to stop transgressing His Life of Holiness. Now, we can live our life within God's Holy Word, to fulfil the Righteous requirement, that the covenant demands. He gave us grace, by raising Jesus Christ, from the dead, to show the Power of His Righteous Life, and that His Righteous Life was the True and only Way into the Eternal Kingdom of God. He gave us Grace by writing His Word in the Bible for all to read and study, and know, what the requirements were for a person who wanted to inherit His Righteous Kingdom. His Grace gave us the free gift of Faith that we are saved by, to become His Sons. Last, but not least, He gives us time to get into His Holy Word and get to know Him and His Ways of Righteous living. (Heb 3:10-11 KJV) "Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. {11} So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)"

By meeting the requirements written in the contract to know the Righteous God, and for Him to know us, we can escape the Judgement of the sinners who do not have God's Righteousness living in them. The Grace in the Covenant, is also the period of time that He gives us in this life to get to know Him, and be ready to meet Him when He returns for His Body, in whom Christ dwells. (Heb 3:14-15 KJV) "For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; {15} While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation." Christ, is the Father, of all who live in His Righteous Kingdom. (1 Cor 15:28 KJV) "And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all."
