God's Amnesty Plan

What Are Absolutes?

Our everyday lives find structure in the thousands of things we accept as truths, from the numbers we use to the names of colors and textures. There are absolutes in the Bible, and they are constants in the spiritual realm, just as "2+2" is a constant in the physical realm.

Absolutes of God is about the Word of God and its building blocks of truth -- "the first principles of the oracles of God" (Hebrews 5:12) -- which have been forgotten or misplaced.

In our society, we have insisted that diversity is good. In reality, what we have are divisions created by an ignorance of God's definition of truth. The one Authority who can settle all arguments in the controversies that divide us is the Holy Ghost, and we have ignored Him!

God's desire is that the words He spoke become alive in His people so that He is seen in His church. God wants to be visible, not only to His church, but also to the whole world. He wants to see truth believed and lived out in front of the entire world.

Seven Absolutes of God

1. God's will for man is that he be perfect in Christ Jesus.

2. The knowledge of good and evil does not produce godly believers or healthy Christians.

3. The natural man does not receive the things of God.

4. Every believer must know the voice of God.

5. The Holy Ghost is the Teacher sent from God to indwell every believer.

6. Once we repent of our sins, we become His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

7. The Bible was written both historically and spiritually.

God's Amnesty Plan

If we base our understanding of God's promise to have a spotless bride on the knowledge of good and evil, we will end up forsaking His way of keeping that promise and set about to accomplish it in our own strength because it takes faith to believe that God can really conform us to His image on the earth. God's salvation is about amnesty for the world, an indwelling Lord and King who changes us from the inside. We will never get the job done ourselves, yet that is exactly what "religion" tries to do. The Holy Spirit can and must reveal this promise to us so that we can see beyond the temporal realm and accept by faith what God wants to do in His people. Faith turns God loose to get His work done in us.

Acts 13

38	Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39	And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40	Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41	Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Acts 13:38-41

Acts 2

14	But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15	For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16	But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17	And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18	And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19	And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20	The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21	And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22	Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23	Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24	Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25	For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26	Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27	Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28	Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29	Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30	Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31	He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32	This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33	Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34	For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35	Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36	Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Acts 2:14-36

Galatians 5

1	Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2	Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3	For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4	Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5	For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6	For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7	Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8	This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9	A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10	I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11	And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12	I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13	For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14	For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15	But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16	This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17	For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18	But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19	Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20	Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21	Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22	But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23	Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24	And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25	If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26	Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 5

Romans 5

1	Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2	By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3	And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4	And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5	And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6	For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7	For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8	But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9	Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10	For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11	And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12	Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13	(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14	Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15	But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16	And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17	For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18	Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19	For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20	Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21	That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5

Romans 6

1	What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2	God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3	Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4	Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5	For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6	Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7	For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8	Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9	Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10	For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11	Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12	Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13	Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14	For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15	What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16	Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17	But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18	Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19	I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20	For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21	What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22	But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23	For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6

Ephesians 2

1	And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins:
2	Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3	Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4	But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5	Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6	And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7	That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8	For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9	Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10	For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11	Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12	That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13	But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14	For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15	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;
16	And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17	And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18	For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19	Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20	And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21	In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22	In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
