36 LOOKING THROUGH THE LENS OF GOD’S WORD

Luke 16: 16 (DIVINE CALL CODE)

The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time, the kingdom of God was preached, and everyone is pressing into it.

The third Book of my Divine Program with respect to my Divine Call Code 16: 16 reveal the law and the prophets which are in perfect alignment with the second, emphasizing unbelief. Here in the New Testament Order God is calling my attention to something very important to create the right consciousness of the Word of God in order to present the truth that will sets people free. Since the subject matter is the law and the prophet, we must bring in the third, which is the kingdom of God. The key of the kingdom cannot be accessed by keeping the law because no one has ever kept the law, since if you fail in one, you have failed in all and that is why Jesus Christ has made it clear by pointing us to the weightier matter of the law which is love and love in this context is likened to a capsule with these contents; justice, mercy and faithfulness (Matthew 23: 23).

The kingdom of God could only be accessed by grace, even as we advance in the knowledge of the truth, intimating the Word of God in total obedience and trusting Him for grace to take us through every processes of our advancement. The law could justify you before men, but God's judgment spans beyond appearance. He sees deep to the heart, but the law does not, because it is based on circumstantial evidence and facts, and what is highly esteemed amongst men is actually an abomination in the sight of God. Jesus did not come to abolish the law or the prophets, but He came to give a clearer picture of them, so that there may be fulfilled in the light of His Word in truth, but you need to know that the clearer picture of the law is love and the prophet here is simply the testimonies of Jesus Christ which is the spirit of prophesy.

Galatians 3: 11, 12

But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for the just shall live by faith" yet the law is not of faith, but "the man who does them shall live by them."

Matthew 5: 17

Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

So in reality, it is he who had kept all the laws that has the right to condemn anyone who breaks it and no one has ever completely kept all the laws, only Jesus has and this was evident when the woman who was caught in the very act of adultery was brought forth to Jesus by the Pharisees to hear what He will say and how He will address the issue. They actually did this to tempt Him, but let's see His reaction to the religious bigots. The law here simply emphasizes the law of sin and death when you break it, but the law of life in Christ Jesus when you keep it by depending on the grace of God that empowers you and this grace exist as an IF condition (2 Corinthians 5: 17).

Galatians 3: 13

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us (for it is written, cursed is everyone who hangs on the tree).

John 8: 3- 6

Then the Scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do you say? This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on ground with His finger as though He did not hear.

Jesus' reaction proved that He is the law and from the nature we saw, we can reach the true definition of law as unconditional love. Jesus knowing everything about the written laws to expose man's nakedness, having being the true law that was misinterpreted proved that no one judges for the law Himself because the law will only condemn when the law keepers keeps the law and are not guilty of the same charge that was brought on the person that trespasses. So He was invariably telling them, the law came from earth because of man's stubbornness judging God for giving woman to him (Genesis 3: 12). But while they continue asking, He raised Himself up and presented to them the law with simple statement of truth, by saying "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at here first." This is because in Him is justice, mercy and faithfulness and mercy will always prevail against judgment because in Him we are just, but outside Him, we are unjust.

What Jesus did was to arrest their conscience and they could not face the light because even with the law, they were all in the dark and was even much guiltier in their conscience than the woman who was caught in the very act of adultery. They brought forth the law; Jesus judged them with the law and defiles their protocol with grace that projected mercy to prevail against judgment. Jesus' question to the woman who was caught in the very act of adultery reveals volume and that question is "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you? (John 8: 10) and after the woman's response, Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more". This is grace in action, when she deserved death, she was given life. So the life giver is Jesus and when you follow Him, you cannot walk in darkness, but have the light of life. The law accuses you and we know who the accuser of the brethren is, which implies what the accuser uses to condemn is the law, but Jesus uses His grace to always defile the protocol of the accuser law.

So the reality of the life we enjoy spans beyond keeping laws and we have this good news revealed in the symbolic Revelation Code in Romans 8: 31 and 33 which states "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.

When we dwell in the grace of God, we are beyond the accuser of the brethren.

Revelation 12: 10

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night has been cast down.

The devil will always accuse us and this can only be when he takes hold of our thought. But the Word of God is our consolation and the only strict resistance to all his cunningly subtle wiles.

Romans 8: 34

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and further more is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God who also makes intersection for us.

REVELATION CODE

Revelation 12: 11 made it crystal clear to annul the devil's program of accusing us and it state thus, "And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony, but they did not love their lives to the death."

When you are guilty, the law condemns you, but when you are guilty, grace will set you free. Jesus is the only one who can give you grace in the light of facing the truth. So my Divine Call Code 16: 16 with respect to my third Book in the New Testament Order is calling my attention to the right knowledge of the law and the prophets, so as not to have a wrong interpretation to build on false knowledge; because we really need to know what the law is.

What is the law?

Matthew 7: 12

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew 7: 12 is actually the program executed of my Divine Call Code 16: 16 with respect to my third Book in the New Testament Order and this is what I live by.

THE FULCRUM FOR ALL THE LAWS

Matthew 22: 37- 40

Jesus said to him, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it. "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." On these two commandments hangs all the law and prophets.
