Sabbath 5/9/42/120
Dear Friends,
This Sabbath we will continue the texts in the 001 series with Israel as the Vineyard of God (No. 001C).
It is important that we understand what is required of us to make it into the First Resurrection (No. 143A) and then what is required of us whilst we labour in the Vineyard of God.
We all receive the same wage no matter how long we are there. The wage for our hire is Salvation and that is a Pearl of Great price and we all receive the same payment no matter what we have to do and the harvest is the same harvest. We simply aid our brethren to go into the Temple of God in the First Resurrection.
There are however, a series of things required of us and the major part under the Covenant is Keeping the Commandments of God and the Faith and Testimony of Jesus Christ (Isa. 8:20; Rev. 12:17; 14:12).
We were all called into the One Body with One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism (No. 001D) to be issued next Sabbath. The Way is straight and the path narrow and few there be that find it for the First Resurrection. Everyone else will go to the Second Resurrection and all that enter there will face the prospect of the Second Death. If you wish to be in the Kingdom of the Out Resurrection of Philippians 3:11 then you must perform and serve the Body and identify it and work for it. If you wish to stay at home or you wish the social club of Sardis or Laodicea then you will fail. And you deserve all you get.
The faith is a very serious matter. We require diligence and service from the elect and we will not tolerate false doctrine and betrayal. If you wish to follow false doctrines or work for other faiths then do not join us as we will not tolerate people teaching false doctrine or not working continually for the faith.
We serve a Jealous and Mighty God who is father of all and we serve His son who is Jesus Christ. We neither pray to him nor worship him. We worship and pray to the Father alone.
Remember what is required of us and what we have to do to serve the faith.
