The Difference Between the Old Testament and the New Testament Saints (Hypergrace Heresy) (Lukewarm Church) (Apostasy) (False Teachers)

The Difference Between the Old Testament and the New Testament Saints

Many people have wondered why the Old Testament Hebrews were often struck down with plagues and judgments of God while wondering through the wilderness near Mount Sinai. 

The Old Testament people who rebelled against the Old Testament laws were destroyed in the wilderness of Sinai. They were destroyed because they were in the presence of God and were hardening themselves against God's teachings, which He gave to Moses. Their actions and words proved that their hearts were hardened against God and His ways.

The New Testament Completes the Old

The sacrificial laws, and the feast day laws, and the dietary laws, and other ceremonial laws were all fulfilled in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:4, Galatians 3:1-8). We Christians have no need to fulfill them since Christ did that for us, nailing all the ordinances, which were written against us, on the cross (Colossians 2:6-17). 

But, God does expect us to obey Him in the Ten Commandments, which are repeated throughout the New Testament, including in the epistles from Romans to Revelation (as we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit). When we disobey Him, all we have to do is confess it to Abba Father God and repent. Asking Abba God to fulfill that unmet need is the next good thing to do. 

We have the promise of God Jesus spoke of in Matthew 7:11. Jesus said: "[11] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

The danger is not believing God's Holy Word.

"[22] Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: 

[23] That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles."

Outline: 

➽ (1.) "That Christ should suffer..." [for the sins of the world]. Isaiah chapter 53.
➽ (2.) The Messiah (Jesus) would rise from the dead. Psalm 16:10. 
➽ (3.) Jesus Christ would show light to Jews and Gentiles. Isaiah 42:1-7.

Below are three prophecies from the Old Testament books of the Bible that Jesus Christ fulfilled. These are hinted at by Paul in Acts 26:23.

Abba God's Love for Us (in Hebrew Words) 🌐 Checed (Lovingkindness) (Psalm 36:7) (The Wings of God) (Love)

(The prodigal son is embraced by his father.
See Luke 15.

➢ Checed (kheh'-sed) in Psalm 36:7

Psalm 36:7 -- “How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.”

(Print off this and other articles 
about God's love in Hebrew and Greek words.)

The word lovingkindness is checed (kheh'-sed) in Hebrew. According to NAS Exhaustive Concordance, the Hebrew word checed (Strong’s #2617) includes lovingkindness, lovingkindnesses, unchanging love, devotion, favor, kindnesses, deeds of devotion, mercies, loyalty, and goodness in its definition. (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance includes pity as well.)

Rees Howells: Intercessor - Note for Page 46 - Wrongful Presentation of the Holy Ghost

Rees Howells: Intercessor (PDF): http://www.inspirationalchristians.org/downloads/rees-howells-intercessor-ebook.pdf

• This is a good book with powerful scripture references and inspiring examples from the life of a man who desired to serve God and do God's best will for his life. He saw miracles happen in answer to prayer and the course of World War 2 changed by way of his and others' prayers. This is an inspiring book to read and seek God through, but it does have some errors, as most Christian books do.

• There are more errors than I have been able to write about. So, we Christians need to be Bereans (Acts 17:10-11). I myself have been misled at times, so I offer this article with a desire to point out why God is a loving, caring, compassionate, patient, gracious, longsuffering Father.

-- Regarding Page 46 in the above PDF file:

Rees Howells was convicted that he was jealous about his friend who God had used to speak at an open-air meeting. But, after feeling convicted, Rees heard God asking him: "'Didn't you come out to the open air for these souls to be blessed?'... 'And if so, what difference does it make through whom I bless them?'" 

But, the voice Rees heard after that question was not speaking in agreement with God's Word, the Bible. The following voice said that Rees was to confess his sin of silently envying his friend's speaking abilities to that same friend. That same friend was ignorant that Rees had even envied him, but Rees was told to confess that sin to him. Then, the same voice told Rees that if Rees ever envied again, he would have to publicly confess that sin. 

The Bible Has the Answer

Below are some links articles about statements made in this book (Rees Howells: Intercessor) that are erroneous. We Christians can get into error, including this writer, so seeking to know God personally, being Bereans (Acts 17:11), and meditating on God's Word (John 8:31-32, Psalm 1:2) are important.
