endless rules or Endless Life--You Choose

Greetings this 2nd day of July in the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ 2011.

Today I would like to discuss the importance of true and genuine heart relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ.
Ever since having a profound personal encounter with Jesus in 1974 on Tamarama beach in Sydney Australia and again in the hills of Northern NSW in 1977, my life, cosmology and world outlook was not only redefined but totally and utterly recreated.
Genuine Bible Christianity is not a set of rules and religious regulations but it is a deep, intimate personal relationship with The Head of the Church, even Jesus.

"For the Law was given through Moses but Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ." John 1:17 KJV


Law is always based on rules, ritual, rigmarole and regulation. Grace is always based on Endless Life. We are under a totally New High Priest and New Kind of High Priest in the New Testament.

"Who has come not according to the Law of a fleshly commandment but according to the Power of an Endless Life." Heb 7:16 KJV

The spirit of religion is always based on an external or fleshly commandment. The Spirit of Christ is according to an Endless Life. Ask yourself a question and mean it.
"Do I want a set of rules or an Endless Life?"
What turns you on the most, a pile of stone tablets with Laws inscribed, or the Endless Eternal Life of Jesus.
The 10 commandments are awesome, good and Holy rules but Christianity was not given as an extension of the Law of God. Jesus Christ gave Himself to us as the Life of God so that we may Live in the same Endless Life of Love.
The Law is true and Right but it does not give us Power to Fulfill it. The Law only amplifies our fallen carnal natures and shows us our sinfulness. It shows us our need of a Saviour. It shows us our total necessity of a deliverer who will forgive, heal and pour into us His Empowering Grace.

"Now we have been delivered from the Law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter" ROM 7:6 KJV

Law applied to rebellion only stimulates more rebellion. Grace and Love gives us power to fulfill the only Law necessary--Love-We fulfill the law by faith, which is cleaving relying on and trusting in Jesus as our Righteousness.
We live under a New Covenant that has been ratified by the Eternal High Priest hood of Jesus. Jesus is not a priest in the levitical model, He was not even a Levite, which all priests had to be under the Old Testament. All of the old Levitical High priests died and new ones came along. Jesus defeated death, hell and the Grave at the Cross and now He lives forever at the right Hand of the Majesty on High.
Jesus was from Judah. He is called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah ( Judah means Praise)

4 "Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God." Rom7:4 American Standard Bible

We have come from Religion to Reality if we have come to Jesus. People often say, "So you got religion now?'
No I have got REALITY now, this is endless unadulterated super Resurrection Life over death, much better than a rule book. The Bible is really a Life book , not a rule book.
