How can we know what is true and right and pass it on to others? Christ is the Word of God, He is the truth that sets us free. The Father was with him and anointed him with his Spirit and it revealed Truth. It makes us wise. If we know it, we can also know what is a lie or foolishness.

Jesus was named Immanuel, “God with us”, and he experienced that God was with him and his disciples and did His work through them and He thanked the Father for it.

Matthew 11:25 25 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;

26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.

27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ”

Then it is important for us to believe in this revelation, it makes everything so much easier for us.

Jesus blessed the little ones and told his disciples to let them come to him, because the kingdom of God belongs to them. The adults had to turn around and become like children, yes, born again to see it and get into it.

Matthew 19:13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people,

14 but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven. ”

15 And he laid his hands on them and went away.

Matthew 18: 1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ”

2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them

3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me,

John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. ”

4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born? ”

5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again. ’

8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. ”

All who received him he gave the right to become God’s children, born again of the water of life and God’s Spirit, so we get a new nature. Christ makes God known to us, God creates us in him and then he creates us again in his image, so we get the right self-understanding, so it is liberating. God wants all to be saved and to come to know the truth so that it sets them free.

Moses had told the people that they should be God’s children, and he warned them not to rebel, or they would lose the land, but when they were able to return to it by the grace of God, they would be circumcised in the heart. It sounded like he thought it likely, yes, predicted that they would rebel, and so it went. The prophets told them that they must turn to the Lord, but they thought they were fools. They were proud and considered themselves wise, but were deceived as in the fall. Adam was condemned to death, but Christ died instead of us, he is the last Adam, who is from heaven and who has become a life-giving spirit for us. Through faith in him, we become heart circumcised in the Holy Spirit, we receive a new nature, the nature of the last Adam. He is the bread that came down as manna from heaven (Joh.6), to give life to the world, the word he has spoken to us is spirit and life. He is eternal life, which is the light for people, it enlightens every human being (Joh.1) so that he gets the right self-understanding, thus it has a liberating effect.

In our time, knowledge has increased, modern science and technology are mostly straight and are successful, workable and useful. Many people try to use it as an argument against believing in Christianity and then they try to idolize themselves with their knowledge, but then it often ends up with something that contradicts both Christianity and real science. The “knowledge” with which people try to idolize themselves is actually moral philosophy, as opposed to the gospel, as it was with the Catholic Church’s resistance to the pioneers of the new natural science. There is still a lot of political philosophy that contradicts Christianity and that also contradicts real science. Also among the Christians, but there are some Christians who have discovered it and who preach repentance, like the prophets in the Old Testamenmt.

“Mother Israel” was God’s wife, so her children should be God’s children. But she fell away and worshipped idols and became a whore. The daughter of Zion is the bride of Jesus, it is the identity of his church. He is the head of the man and the man is the head of the woman and so Christ is the head of the church that is his bride. But many have fallen away and started worshipping politicians and authorities as gods instead. It is also Christians who do it, but the Lord calls them to repent. I have written about this here:

God loved the world so much that He sent His Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

God loved the world so much that He sent His only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. He was the Lamb of God who bore the world`s sin and atoned for it with His death on the cross. By believing in him, we get to see that the old evil nature is crucified, dead and in baptism buried with him. There we are also raised with him, by the power of God that raised him from the dead. To all those who received him, he gave the right to become God’s children, born of the water of life and of God’s Spirit. In this way, we get a new nature, the old evil nature had to remove, so that the new could take over.

God punished the people with war, famine, and disease. Then it had an impact on which genes were passed on to the next generation and this is how the people developed according to the evolution theory. Since it was God who did it, we can say that He created through evolution. But what significance does the genetic inheritance have when we are to see it so that the old evil nature is crucified with Christ, the flesh, the physical and biological body is crucified with Christ. When we die, it will be buried and then heaven and earth will pass away. Nevertheless, he creates through development, by breeding. Why didn’t he destroy everything and create everything new at once. Instead, he creates through development by conducting genetic breeding and our genes then have an impact on who we are.

Jesus said that heaven and earth will pass away, but His words will never pass away. Then biological life on Earth will also end. He is the bread of life that came down as manna from heaven, to give life to the world, the words He spoke to us are spirit and life (John 6:63) and it is eternal. Is it of any significance, then, that he bred and created the development of the genes, largely in accordance with evolution? Doesn’t this mean that our genes still have and will have an impact on who we are as human beings? It does, because otherwise he could have ended life on earth with immediate effect and created everything again.

Jesus was the Lamb of God who bore the world’s sin and atoned for it with his death on the cross. Sin separated people from God, but with one sacrifice, Jesus took away sin once and for all. He was buried, but God raised him from the dead in the body, by the Holy
Spirit.

Rom.1:1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh

4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

6 including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,

7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

God glorified him and put him at his right hand in heaven, then he also did something with his body.

John 12:20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks.

21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus. ”

22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

25 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.

28 Father, glorify your name. ”Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again. ”

John 20: 11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb.

12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.

13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? ” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him. ”

14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? ”Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away. ”

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary. ”She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni! ” (which means Teacher).

17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. ’”

18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

……..

Jesus and Thomas

24 Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord. ” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe. ”

26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you. ”

27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe. ”

28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God! ”

29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. ”

Become saved and acknowledge the truth, so that it sets us free.

If we stay in Jesus’ words, we will know the truth and it sets us free.

John 8:31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,

32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. ”

33 They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’? ”

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.

35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

God wants everyone to be saved and come to know the truth.

1 Timothy 2:1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,

2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

John 15: 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

Through faith in Jesus, we are allowed to enter into God’s rest. Salvation and liberation, say yes to His calling and get the right self-understanding.

God created humans in His image. He blessed them, they lived in fellowship with him, he spoke to them and they turned to him and listened to what he said. In this way, they got the right self-understanding and it was individual, for both the man and the woman, but it was also about belonging together in a marriage. It is fundamental in a people and a society, so it is also about people and society. Therefore, it is also appropriate that I alternate between speaking in general terms, based on Scripture, about Jesus’ church and testifying about my personal faith and life in fellowship with Jesus.

But after the fall they hid from him with a guilty conscience, as if they no longer had the same, original and correct self-understanding, as if they had acquired a different kind of nature and thus became their self-understanding. God put a battle between the woman’s seed and the serpent’s seed and we understand that it is about human life, so it became a battle between two natures and two self-understandings for man.

God finished creation and then He rested on the seventh day, after all His work. People were in God’s rest, but fell out of it and were cut off from it. So then the Father is still working and so is the Son.

John 5: 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk. ”

9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.

10 So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed. ”

11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk. ’”

12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’? ”

13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.

14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you. ”

15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working. ”

Jesus Is Equal with God

18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

The Authority of the Son

19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.

20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.

21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.

22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.

27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

28 Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

Witnesses to Jesus

30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.

32 There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.

33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

36 But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me.

37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,

38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent.

39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,

40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

41 I do not receive glory from people.

42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.

43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.

47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? ”

The woman was to follow her husband, with sweat on his face he was to eat his bread until he went to soil again, soil he was, and to the soil he was to return. God was spirit, but the man was soil, so he was not quite like God after all, that is.

But now Christ is the last Adam (1 Cor.15), who is from heaven and who has become a life-giving spirit for us. He is God’s Word, when the Word through faith merges with us in our hearts, we get to enter into God’s rest, because we get to experience that He does His work with us through His Word and His Spirit.

John 1: 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.

John 17:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you,

2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.

5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

2 Corinthians 3: 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

James 1: 21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.

24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

Drink from the living water spring.

God is the fountain of the living water, so the right self-understanding is to long and thirst for it, so we come to Christ and drink from the fountain of the living water.

Jer.2:12 Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the Lord,

13 for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

Psalm 36: 8 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.

10 Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart!

John 4:13 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,

14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. ”

John 7:37 37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. ’”

39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Rev.22, 16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star. ”

17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come. ” And let the one who hears say, “Come. ” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

Jesus called the daughter of Zion into freedom.

Jesus called the Daughter of Zion to free herself, as if she were still in bondage in Babylonia. Interpretation of tongues, quote from https://blessings-from-heaven.com/2016/08/08/2011-02-12-m40-jesus-kalla-sions-dotter-til-a-frigjere-seg/ :

“You have heared my message year after year, yes, through a long life you have learned that there is grace enough. Yes, my grace is sufficient for you, and my power is fulfilled in weakness. The best life can give you, you get for free, running water, the air you breathe in, the oxygen you then get, and you get from me grace for free. I died for all sins, for all your sins, for the sins of the nations. And on the day that I shall judge the nations, be careful that you are found in the right place, and that you came early into grace as a single person. Be aware that when I give life, I give a life as susteins, notice that when I say that my power will be fulfilled in weakness, it does not matter how you feel, how you are and what you have experienced in life in the past, for I will turn your face to the future. And I will cause you to walk with my grace in such a strong way that every single person who touches you will see me through you. You should not seek to become a better human being, you should not long to be perfect as a man and a woman. You shall only long for me, I who give life and let you have the courage to forget what is behind and reach out for what is in front, and chase towards the goal, for the goal waves you so close now and the time from now on is short. And as I am, I want you to be in this world. I want my message to thee for total deliverance to result in thou making thyself loose from bound by thy neck, thou captive daughter of Zion. And that you sing when the king’s message came that we could turn back, then our hearts were set on fire. I will use all the things you have heard and all the things you have learned and all the things you have seen in a right way for the future and let you experience that your house will be changed and transformed, your children will be saved, your spouse will be saved, you yourself will have an encounter with me that will change you forever. And remember that the time henceforth is short and it is urgent for you to have a new meeting with me, says the Lord.

You read my word and you will find on three occasions I wept, in the same way I wept over my name today. I wept over the sin and the immorality that exists, I wept over the fact that my children are hiding, they have received grace so that it is enough for many. I cried when I look out over the immediate environment you are moving in. All those who cry out and long for life transformation and change. Are you still in this? I long to see you on your knees with men and women for whom I died. My grace is sufficient for you, and I have made you alive with me. I glorified my Father down here, and I want you to be in that chorus too, to glorify my Father. This is your day, I have decided that your steps should go here tonight, the Lord says, and it is your day, it is your possibility, it is you who will get what you long for, not the person next to you, not your spouse, not your children, not your parents, it is you that I am calling out from the darkness tonight,  says the Lord.”

Jesus called the Daughter of Zion out into the dance, while the joyful of him is the Lord, her bridegroom and husband.

Interpretation of tongues, quote from https://blessings-from-heaven.com/2016/08/08/2011-12-18-maranata-jesus-kalla-sions-dotter-ut-i-fridomen/ :

“Once more I will fill your mouth with laughter and your tongue with joy. And I, who have brought you into a free space, you can praise me with all your heart without any fear or condemnation. For if you are found under my blood, you are found in my wounds, then there is no condemnation, but you can freely find my Word, you can freely praise my name. For I have hidden you in my wounds, I have hidden you in my wounds, both because of your sins and because of your sicknesses. You can have boldness both inwards and outwards and upwards, for I have cleansed you.

Free yourself from all the bonds that bind you, you caught the daughter of Zion. Come out in freedoim. Winter is over. Don’t recon (anymore)? that you are far away, but look up here. For the sun of grace is shining, the sun of righteousness has risen, with healing and you can go out into freedom, and you will rejoice, and you can go out in the dance with the joyful. You shall not care what man says about it, but you shall lift up your eyes on high and praise my holy name, for I am the Lord your husband, I am the Lord your bridegroom, and it is me that you shall see, for I who took you and drew you up from the grave, I will make your steps firm, and I will put a new song in your mouth, and you will go out in the dance with the joyful and praise my name. Hallelujah.”

This is reminiscent of the love between the bridegroom and the bride in the Song of Songs, he called her out in the spring of life, but when she finally got up and came out, she did not find him and became despairing, sorrowful, yes, depressed. Now he calls her out again and it is quite possible that things can go better now, but it depends on her, who he calls.

She, yes, all of us whom He calls can make sure that things go better this time, by saying yes to Him and coming to Him, listening to Him, talking to Him, turning our minds up to Him and fixing our eyes on Him.

Col.2: 6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,

7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,

10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.

11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.

13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

Col.3:1If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
