Salvation through Born Again 214 41 Moreover, He gave them Law and Prophets and was lea- ding them as God and Father in those days. That is why many of the prophets declared in pro- phecy that - “You are my Father and we are your children”. 42 The eternally blessed God who is over all, came in flesh among Israelites, 43 to whom pertain the adop- tion, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; He offe- red Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of men and the eternal fulfil- lment of the Law. 44 As it is written that - “accord- ing to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God, Amen”, and as you are un- ited with people of your constitu- ency 45 Similarly, He elected them to give eternal solution to the huma- nkind that is destroyed in sins and trespasses. You are to perceive that they have nothing to boast. 46 Are the people you contest from great? Or are you great who elect the constituency? No doubt at all - you are great, be- cause - the constitution of your The Salvation is the Gift of God country is helping you to contest the elections to become Pres- ident or Prime Minister. Is not it? Yes, I am sure. 47 Likewise He came into this world, wandered and predest- ined to redeem the sins. That is why it true with the poets who spoke - “sarvapapa parihard- ham rakthaprokshana mavash- yakam, tadraktham paramaath- mena punyadana baliyagam (Without blood shedding there is no sin remission, that blood is free gift from God).” 48-49 II Then who is the gre- atest? God, the Father? Or Son of God? Which is the greatest for you - being President or Pri- me Minister or leader of your constituency? Which of these two is greatest for you? If you say the level of President or Pri- me Minister is greatest then how great is the leadership the people of your constituency (without) gave you? Each level has its own responsibility. 50 You can do many things as a leader of your constituency, whi- ch you cannot do as President or Prime Minister. Is not it right? 51 Likewise the greate God Salvation through Born Again 215 could not save the sinners with His glory, because - the heavenly law demands Price that the shed- ding of blood for the remission of sins. So He left His all glory, emptied Himself, called to be the Son of man to be united with men, taking the form of a bondservant, prepared us the way of salvation to you and me by shedding His holy blood and raising from the dead. 52 It is written that - He was wo- unded outside the gate, redeem- ed us by His own blood to save us. That is why - He is calling us saying, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” 53-56 But Son of God, prayed to God, the Father - Father your will wil be done. And God the Father saying to Son of God - Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteous- ness is the scepter of Your King- dom. You have loved righteous- ness and hated lawlessness; “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You The Salvation is the Gift of God will fold them up, 57 And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.” That is why He became the one who died for every man. 58 Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 59 He has the name, Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last and also the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb. 60 Likewise when you are app- ointed as President or Prime Minister, you are to fulfill all your responsibilities as you have swo- rn in, that is why He revealed Himself to be the Son of the only God as was written in the Law, 61 He did not become the Priest without an oath, but became High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. 62 II “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” 63 “And the Word became
