The Gospel Of Truth And
Salvation
Formerly Called First John
Jesus Christ Is
The Way, The Truth And The
Life
By
Apostle John De First
What
Was Heard, Seen, and Touched
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, the very FirstSon of God who is Jesus Christ, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life — the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us — that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His FirstSon Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.
Fellowship
With Him And One Another
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His FirstSon, cleanses us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
The Test Of Knowing Christ
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the pacification for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world and the entire universe, including all the heavens.
The
Test Of Knowing Him
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Their
Spiritual State
I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.
I write to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
Because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children,
Because you have known the Father.
I have written to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men,
Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.
Do
Not Love The World
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Deceptions
Of The Last Hour
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the FirstSon. Whoever denies the FirstSon does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the FirstSon has the Father also.
Let
Truth Abide In You
Therefore, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the FirstSon and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us — eternal life.
These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
The
Children Of God
And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
The
Command To Love
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
Sin
And The Child Of God
Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the FirstSon of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
The
Imperative Of Love
In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest and different: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.
Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
The
Outworking Of Love
By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but indeed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His FirstSon Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
The
Spirit Of Truth And The Spirit Of Error
Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given to us.
Love
For God And One Another
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Knowing
God Through Love
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten FirstSon into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His FirstSon to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Seeing
God Through Love
Many people have seen God, in the past and present times. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the FirstSon as Saviour of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the FirstSon of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
No one has seen God
A statement may depend on what happened or the place where it was said. This statement was forged and added to the writing, in order to make the children of God believe that it is not possible to see God face to face. Unfortunately, humanity read the word and generalize the statement without knowing the context.
It was not Apostle John who wrote that statement. Many of us, Apostles, disciples and saints, visited heaven, on many occasions, and we saw Angels. We saw Jesus Christ.
The
Consummation Of Love
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.
Obedience
By Faith
If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
Obedience
By Faith
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the FirstSon of God?
The
Certainty Of God's Witness
This is He who came by water and blood — Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His FirstSon. He who believes in the FirstSon of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His FirstSon. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His FirstSon. He who has the FirstSon has life; he who does not have the FirstSon of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the FirstSon of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the FirstSon of God.
Confidence
And Compassion In Prayer
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
If anyone sees his brother committing a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
Knowing
The True — Rejecting The False
We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
And we know that the FirstSon of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His FirstSon Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Necessary Explanations
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk
in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
The children of God must not associate with
the pagans, marine kingdoms, secret societies, cultic kingdoms, demonic
kingdoms. Graves and cemeteries, religions, churches, ministries and
fellowships which are not covenant-keeping, who do keep the Sabbath Day holy.
You should not participate in pagan festivals, activities and ceremonies.
Because you have overcome the wicked one.
You overcome by believing and doing the
word of God, and by remaining steadfast in everlasting paths of righteousness.
Do not love the world or the things in the world.
Humanity were sent to this world to learn
how to live in heaven. Therefore, it is wrong to fail to learn and abide by the
teachings, corrections, messages and warnings from God, and follow the worldly
ways of life which lead to hell fire.
Even now many antichrists have come,
The antichrists are many and they operate
in various manifest and hidden ways. They are the various kingdoms that want to
colonize and rule this world. They have established many types of religions,
churches, ministries and fellowships to confuse humanity. They include demonic
kingdoms, marine kingdoms, cultic kingdoms, pagan kingdoms, and even human
groups and organizations like the very bid companies, which are not keeping the
commandments of God .
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if
they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that
they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
This refers to all religions, churches,
ministries and fellowships that are not Sabbath-keeping. This statement is for
humanity to know the churches established by Satan to deceive many. All the
arguments, debates, reasons and excuses in defense of Sunday worship are
irrelevant excuses. Be warned, because God does not change His ways.
They went out from us, from the
congregation of Yahweh, from the midst of the children of God, by turning away
from the Covenant System Of Worship, from the way of truth and salvation, and
from the Gospel of Truth and Salvation.
Therefore, let that abide in you which you heard from
the beginning.
Remain in the everlasting paths of
righteousness.
These things I have written to you concerning those
who try to deceive you.
All the numerous religions, churches,
ministries and fellowships, which are man-made because they were forged by your
fellow human beings. Therefore, do not follow their teachings and practices.
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on
us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know
us, because it did not know Him.
The world cannot teach the children of God
how to serve and worship God, because the worldly people do not know. The only
true teachers and lecturers, mentors and supervisors, of the children of God
are the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven. therefore, the children of God
should learn how time communicate with the angels and saints through quiet time
and meditation, and by the visitations of the angels and saint during prayers
and worship, and during sleep the dreams, visions, trances, signs and wonders.
And it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but
we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as
He is.
Man is a perfect God. at the time of the
second coming of Jesus Christ, the children of God are expected to have
attained very high spiritual levels, should have known by self-realization and
personal transfigurations what they are: strong and mighty spirit beings, who
are the sons of the living God.
Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
This
statement should read, whoever sins do not serve of obey God. This because the
fallen angels which originated sins and are still committing evils and
abominations have seen and known God .
Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His
seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
The children of God who remain in the
everlasting paths of righteousness are filled by the Holy Spirit and are
enabled by the powers of the Holy Spirit, which make them sinless and spotless,
because the Holy Spirit guides them in the paths of righteousness, always.
In this the children of God and the children of the
devil are manifest and different:
The children of God are known by their
Covenant System Of Worship, while those who follow Satan are known by their
various Sunday worship. Again, the cg remain steadfast in the paths of righteousness,
while the children of darkness reject the same paths of righteousness and
follow all kinds of worldly and deveilsih lifestyles.
We know that we have passed from death to life,
because we love the brethren.
The saints without have grown very far in spirit,
know that death is an illusion. It does not exist, because the children of God
leaves their body and this world, and return to heaven from where they came for
a short stay and training here on earth, just as a school child leaves the
school to return home. Birth is not the beginning of life, and death is not the
end of life.
and shall assure our hearts before Him.
..
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the
spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out
into the world.
The children of God have the right to
examine ever spirit mi:
1.
Ask the spirit his name.
2.
Ask him where he came from?
3.
Ask him what is the purpose of
his coming?
4.
Ask him, does he believe in the
Blood of Jesus?
5.
Ask him, are you speaking in
the name of the creator of the heavens and the earth?
6.
Before you call in any spirit,
first spray Consuming Fire, Blood of Jesus and Water of Life.
7.
First pour the Blood of Jesus
of the angel or spirit, before he takes possession of the anointing doves. If
the spirit is a warrior angel, pour the Consuming Fire on the anointing doves.
Do so three times on the following places:
a.
Head.
b.
Left shoulder.
c.
Right shoulder.
d.
Hands.
e.
And feet.
8.
And every spirit that does
not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is
the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now
already in the world.
We are of God.
The children of God are spirit beings that
came from God, and they shall return to God in heaven. They are not flesh.
Rather, they are the breathes of life, the Holy Spirit that came forth from
God, as the image and likeness of God, the very nature and form of God. Just as
a lamb does not need to become a sheep, because it is already a sheep.
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may
have boldness in the Day of Judgment;
Jesus Christ has suffered and died for the
salvation of the children of God who abide in the paths of righteousness.
Therefore, the children of God have nothing to fear, but are sure of their
salvation and inheritance, which is the Kingdom of Heaven.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out
fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect
in love.
Fear is sin, and it is punishable inside
the hell fire. What God wants from His children is not fear but love. Usually,
people say that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. This is a proverb
which simply warns the children of God to obey the word of God, because that is
only safe path to salvation and wellbeing.
Therefore,, fear of God is not the begging
of wisdom. Instead, it is the k of the truth that is the foundation of true
wisdom.
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of
God,
Whoever believes that Jesus Christ is
FirstSon of God, and as God Almighty Himself does very well. And he still has
to abide by the paths of righteousness, and full his destiny here on earth, to
inherit before he shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.
And His commandments are not burdensome.
People find the commandments of God hard to
keep, if they do not have the Holy Spirit and powers of the Holy Spirit in
them. They find it hard because they usually learn about the commandments late
in their lives, after they have formed their habits. And they find it hard
because there is little or no favourable environment, enabling environments
which encourage and support the children of God in doing what God has said. Therefore,
every religious leaders, ministers of God, as well as all governments and
leaderships, must ensures that themselves abide in the everlasting paths of
righteousness, and make all provisions and preparations that encourage the
children of God to abide in the same paths of righteousness. This is the one
single duty which God Almighty, Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts, has given to
every government and leadership in the world.
This is He who came by water and blood — Jesus Christ;
Jesus Christ came into the world by water
and blood, through Virgin Mary, because He was born. Before His crucifixion on
the Calvary, His earthly blood was removed, and His body was filled with the
His heavenly blood as God Almighty. That was why the sweats of His body at
Gethsemane were droplets of blood. It was His divine blood that He shed on Mt
Calvary, because the blood of God is God, and the same blood is almighty.
For there are
three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit;
and these three are one.
In the begging, from everlasting to
everlasting, even before creation started, it was God Almighty that was
manifest ion triple mode as God the Almighty Father, God the Almighty Love
called Jesus Christ, and God the Almighty Presence called the Holy Spirit. The
same God in three different manifestations, just as fire is manifest in triple
mode as heat, flame and light at the same time.
And there are
three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and
these three agree as one.
The spirit bear witness, closing
benediction the children of God are spirits indwelling the body here on earth.
After their stay here on earth, they remove the body and return to heaven.
The second is water, which is the cleansing
of God , the Water of Life and the word of truth and salvations.
The third is the blood, because blood if
life, and it is by the Blood of Jesus that salvation is true and everlasting
lasting, which salvation the kingdom of darkness cannot neither prevent nor
stop.
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that
if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He
hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have
asked of Him.
God can do all things. But, in His infinite
love and wisdom, He does only those things that benefit his children. Besides
He abides by His master plan in answering prayers. You should know that there
are certain things the children of God should first do before their prayer
shall be answered. One is that they must abide by the paths of righteousness.
Two, is that they must ask in the right way. And they must serve and worship
God, where God wants, not in the various places called religions, churches,
ministries and fellowships, which were established by their fellow human
beings.
He will ask, and He will give him life for those who
commit sin not leading to death.
It is true that some sins may appear to be
far smaller than another, but you should know that a little sin can lead to so
many great consequences just as a little strike of matches has in many places
turned into wildfires that consumed cites, lives and properties.
Therefore, it is your duty to avoid both
great and small sins.
And there is sin not leading to death.
Physically many sins do not lead to death
here on earth, but they lead to everlasting sufferings inside the hell fire.
We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but
he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch
him.
The person who is born of God is the person
who abides in the paths of righteousness, who is filled with the Holy Spirit
and who uses only the powers of the Holy Spirit. today, many people are the
wrong places, because they follow religions, churches, ministries and
fellowships which have demonic, pagan and ritual foundations.
And the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked
one.
In all that humanity think, say and do,
they follow the ways of the world, which are the ways of Satan. They fail to
inquire from God, and even when they are told what God wants, they reject it
and continue on the broad ways into the hell fire.
For example, check your house and
environments, you shall discover that many things are black or have black
colours and designs on them. Humanity fall to understand that black is the
colour and nature of Kingdom of darkness. It is one of the marks of the beast;
