FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES BEFORE THE CROSS AND AFTER.

FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES BEFORE THE CROSS AND AFTER.
I believe strongly that this piece has been a blessing to you . Until the church come to the realization of what has happened they may never know what had been freely given to them.
 We are going to see the concluding part of the topic.

LIFE BEFORE AND AFTER THE CROSS
The cross is the answer to the emptiness of man because after the cross God the Holy Spirit came and made his home in believers. Trues Christianity is understanding that the cross is our access to the father and all his fulness.  Now all  of these points will show us how much the church has turned to religion instead of embracing the life of Jesus.

• Before the cross, they prayed for the Holy Spirit to come, and begged that God should not take the Holy Spirit from them. After the cross, the Holy Spirit dwells in the believer forever. No need for believers in Christ to be waiting for the Holy Spirit to come again, he has already come and he will abide with the believer forever.

• Many are trying to amplify the presence of God today by utilizing prayer shawls and shofars, when Jesus changed and moved us from worshipping or seeing him through places and objects 2000 years ago. (You do not need anyone to take your prayer request to Jerusalem. There is nothing special about Jerusalem anymore for the believer. Jesus is everywhere). “Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship... But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John‬ ‭4:20-24‬ ‭KJV. “For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” Philippians‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭KJV

• People are trying to create Jesus of the Jews (Judaism). After the cross, He is Jesus of the Jew and Gentile. The Jew and Gentiles are now collapsed in one new man. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians‬ ‭3:28‬ ‭KJV. “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;” Ephesians‬ ‭2:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

• Christians are still fighting the devil and the flesh, as though Jesus did not do a complete work 2000 years ago. “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians‬ ‭2:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬.
After the cross, believers only wrestle in maintaining, by our profession, what Jesus had obtained for us.

• People are asked to pay a price for sin, Jesus paid for all sin 2000 years ago on your behalf, and all the believer is required to do after the cross is to receive forgiveness as a gift. “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” Ephesians‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭KJV. “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭KJV.
