The Spirit of God brings the individual through numerous experiences and teaches and builds him up through various ministries. The Holy Spirit has been charged with purifying the Bride in preparation for her marriage to the Lamb.

It is the believer's part to lay down his life, take up his cross, and follow the Lord Jesus. It is the Spirit's part to lead the believer through the steps of sanctification until his ways please the Lord. Meanwhile, the blood of the atonement keeps on making the believer acceptable to God.

The law of cause and effect, of sowing and reaping, never has been waived or changed and never will be changed. It is the fundamental law of personality and behavior that governs all God's creatures. No exception is made for believing Gentiles. God and His standard never change.

Rather, under the new covenant the individual has been given the opportunity to be changed through the Virtue of Christ. It is not what he reaps that is changed, it is what he sows that is changed.

The Lord Jesus did not come to forgive the liar so he can go to Heaven. The Lord Jesus came to change the liar into a truthful person so he can have fellowship with God. All liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire.

The Lord Jesus did not come to forgive the adulterer so he can go to Heaven to live forever in a mansion. The Lord Jesus came to change the adulterer into a morally pure person so he can have fellowship with God and inherit the Kingdom of God. All adulterers will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

The end result of the work of Divine grace is the creation of the Kingdom of God—the performing of God's will in the earth as it is in Heaven. The goal of the Christian redemption is not our going to Paradise when we die but the coming of the Kingdom of God to the earth. The Kingdom of God is made up of people who behave righteously.

Don't the prostitutes enter the Kingdom before the self-righteous? Yes they do, because the prostitutes will repent of their behavior and follow Jesus.

Are we preaching that we are saved by our own dead works? Most assuredly not. We are preaching that true salvation produces, lives in, and is brought to maturity as the believers interacts with the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Apart from such daily transformation there is no salvation, no Kingdom of God, no eternal life.

The "state of grace" and "dispensation of grace" that are preached are not of God, not scriptural, and totally destructive of God's intention under the new covenant.

The Kingdom of God is the doing of God's will in the earth as it is performed in Heaven. Therefore any teaching suggesting that the Kingdom of God is something other than the actual performing of God's will by people in the earth, the actual practice of righteousness, holiness, and obedience to God, is against the Christian Gospel, the Gospel of the Kingdom of God—that which was preached by John the Baptist, Jesus of Nazareth, and the Apostles of the Lamb.
