The Gospel of the Lord Jesus, Sent by the One True God
Jesus was sent by God, and the one who is sends him is greater than the one sent (John 13:16). The Father alone is intrinsically God, and He alone possesses absolute divinity. Jesus did not send himself, nor is he God by nature, but he was chosen, appointed, and exalted by the only One who is truly God.
Jesus: The Anointed One
Because of his faithfulness and obedience, Jesus was made Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36). He received the highest anointing from God, being given authority over all creation, not because he was already supreme, but because God made him so. All things were placed under him by the Father's will, and he rules as God's appointed king.
The Role of Humanity in God's Plan
God has always lifted up those who hear and obey His words. Even from the beginning, humanity was made in the image of God, capable of reflecting His divine nature as He wills. Not mere creatures of instinct as other beasts are. But divinity is never something we possess by nature; it is only given by the One who is intrinsically divine.
Jesus himself was born fully human, sharing in our nature so that we might share in his. He was tested as we are, suffered as we do, and yet remained faithful. In doing so, he became our perfect mediator—the one who can stand between us and God. Because God raised him from the dead, he now mediates for us forever before the Father (1 Timothy 2:5).
The Call to Follow Jesus Before the Coming Wrath
Jesus reigns even now, seated at the right hand of God, awaiting the time when all things will be fully subjected to him (Psalm 110:1). The Father, in His love, has placed a man upon the throne, showing that His ultimate purpose is to glorify humanity through the one He has chosen.
Now is the time to unite with him and his worldwide body—the community of faith. The time of patience and peace is coming to an end, and God's judgment will soon be revealed. The persecuted will be avenged, and the world will face the consequences of rejecting God's anointed ruler.
What must we do?
- Believe—he is the light of the world sent by the Father.
- Receive his teachings—obey the words given to him by God.
- Be baptized—enter into his faith and become part of his people.
- Love his brothers and sisters—join the community of those who follow him.
- Submit to his kingdom—align your life with the reign of Jesus before all things are forced into submission.
Soon, Jesus will reign over all, and every knee will bow. But before that, the final period of relative peace will give way to sudden wrath. If you live to see it, know that God's wrath is near, because the persecuted will be avenged.
Now is the time to enter his kingdom willingly. The door is open, but it will not remain open forever. Come to the Lord Jesus, the one sent by God, and be saved.
