5 Christ: How to Sacrifice to God. Hi, I'm Norman Oetker, a Hmong Mong Protestant Christian
Missionary serving in Reynosa Mexico, today is September 2011. A paraphrased of Genesis
3:15 The “SEED,” who is the Savior Christ Jesus, He would crush and destroy the controlling
power of Satan over mankind. Moreover, with Jesus crushing Satan's controlling power,
this same Savior Jesus, would be bruised, would suffer, and be crucified. When Jesus
died on the Cross, he was the OFFERING, a SACRIFICE to God the Father. Why? Let's look
at some basics, when making an offering to God. As a Protestant Christian Foreign Missionary,
serving in Thailand, and as well elsewhere, and currently in Reynosa Mexico. When a person
has no knowledge of the deeper truths, or, as a matter of fact, not even the Christian
basics, in regards to: God, creation of the world; and of the first man and woman.
And furthermore, the disobedience to God, by the first man and woman, Adam and Eve.
And that this one lone rebellious act by Adam and Eve towards God, instantly, changed their
physical and mental lives forever. Sin and Death, now with all of evil's subsequent physical
pains and spiritual emotional anguish, this now became the first man and woman's living
reality. For them, and too all of their posterity, to all people of the earth, from then until
now, September 2011. All are born with “SIN and DEATH!” And then of how, and by whom?
Who would destroy the Power of Sin and Death over mankind? And Over YOU? Thus beginning
the discussions of the purposes of the Savior Jesus. It's through God the Father's illuminating
'Grace' that shines into one's life, this enabling Grace brings this vision into clarity
within one's personal life, and into his or her's everyday living circumstances. Then
through, and by Grace, this essential need for personal Redemption and Salvation from
sin becomes clear. These therefore are the essentials that are needed, for the correct
understanding of the higher things of God. And having man's eternal redemption and salvation
through Christ becoming a reality within their own lives. Thus, the beginning's of understanding
of the pure doctrines of Christ, the Apostles, and the Evangelists. First, Faith in Jesus,
the second person of the Trinity- (note) The word Trinity is meant to mean the following,
God is a spirit and that which is in this same divine spiritual substance is God the
Father, and also, the son Jesus, and also the Holy Spirit. These three: commonly referred
to as the three person of God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are within this spiritual
substance, and are inseparable, equal and in divine order within each other, with the
Father in the leadership position)- Again, back to our subject: Faith in Jesus, faith
in what? Faith in that Jesus who is the second person of the Trinity, this is what is necessary
to have faith in. Faith in that Jesus is God and man, and that Jesus's inception into mankind
was by God the Father's direction, by directing the third person of the Trinity, the Holy
Spirit. It was the Holy Spirit who inseminated, the *** named Mary, she then brought forth
to term, and delivered, the sinless-baby Jesus into the world. In making an offering to God,
some basic principles are necessary. The offering has to be: equal in worth or value and substance,
and of the purest and highest of quality of that which is being offered. The spiritual
offering, as well as the physical offering, they both have to be precise, and in accordance
with the offense committed. They are to be the finest. (As we can read within the Mosaic
Laws of offering to God within the Old Testament.) The physical sacrifice to God was the sinless,
now 33 year old man Jesus. By Him offering His sinless-life to God the Father, for the
removal of the Original Sin of man, committed by Adam and Eve, our first parents, in their
disobedience towards God, as written in the Old Testament book of Genesis. A note: as
one reads further on, with in the Old Testament, one will come to the establishing of the Mosaic
law, with it's many rules and regulation to be obeyed. The individual, for example that
sinned, was to bring an animal for a sacrifice in order for one's sins to be removed. Annually
then, the Jewish High Priest, each year would make and offering, for the removal of the
sin's of the whole Jewish Nation. Why wasn't that Mosaic concept continued until today? Thereby everyone that wanted to be
a Christian, would have to obey the Jewish Mosaic Laws, to one degree or the other? The
reason is in God's Plan and promises to man. God's first promise was in Genesis 3:15 to
Adam and Eve, stating that the SEED of Eve, (the Messiah, Jesus) would totally destroy
sin's controlling power over mankind, and that Jesus would suffer and be bruised. God's
second promise was about three thousand and three hundred and fifty years (3350) later
to Abraham, and God said to Abraham that all the nations of the world would be blessed
through his seed. Abraham's seed. Details in Genesis 17:6, also in Romans 4:7-25. We
are able to see now within the world this actual fulfilled Prophecy. 1. Jesus has totally
destroyed the controlling power of sin over mankind. 2. God's salvation plan for man is
through Christ, and is to all the people of the world, not to one group, as it was prior
to Jesus's coming.
