"The Perfect Gospel vs. the Imperfect Gospel"

Phil Grahn, New Zealand, Jan, 30th, 2010

-Revelations 14:5-7- "And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God. Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."
"What is this everlasting gospel the three Angels are proclaiming to all those who dwell on the earth?"

I want you dear reader to come with me while I explore this very important question with the Word of God, and only the Word of God. I will not be using any man-made doctrine whatsoever, but only Gods pure Word. I want to show you once and for all what this everlasting gospel is, which is the perfect gospel, and I will also show you once and for all what the imperfect gospel is, which is no gospel at all.

We read in the Bible from the very first verse in John Chapter 1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning." The Bible clearly says here that Jesus is God Himself, and this God is Jesus Christ. And it’s this God who came looking for you and me with the perfect gospel truth that can save perfectly. It was He who blotted out all the sins of those who would receive Him, and saved then perfectly, and made them His people and His precious workers.

Because we live in a world with different cultures who think and act differently we need to start at the beginning and explain what precisely this everlasting gospel is step by step. Then once we have achieved this then the reader can understand fully and then they can believe in it with the heart and become truly born again. For this is how we can achieve our salvation, and please God. Without fully understanding what this true everlasting heavenly gospel is people are bound to believe in an imperfect gospel of half- truths and untruths. And when they do this they commit the sin of blasphemy, because they have made Gods Son, Jesus Christ out to be a liar. Sadly, most Christians today have this imperfect gospel and are committing this sin of blasphemy in ignorance. This is why everyone must return to the everlasting gospel of the water and the Spirit without delay. This perfect gospel is very different to the imperfect gospel as we will soon see.

The perfect gospel.

What we must always keep in mind is that the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelations is a book on salvation through and through. It is not a book of science, but the Word of Truth that saves everyone from sin. It is the Word which preaches the perfect gospel from the beginning to the end, and that saves perfectly all those who truly believe without exception once and for all. So, as we start at the very beginning of the Bible we will see the state of the hearts of the people living on this earth. It reads from Genesis 1:1-2 this, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." When we read these words, ‘The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep,’ it describes the condition of the hearts of all those who are not born again by this perfect gospel. In this Word we find this blessed and perfect gospel of salvation that God gave and fulfilled to all of mankind. God requires us as His creation to believe in Him correctly, and this is why He had His precious Word recorded so that we can. If we do not believe in Him correctly according to this Word of God, then we are saved imperfectly, and cannot be called His children. Then all who do this stubbornly can only face the wrath of God. This is why everyone must now listen and return to this true gospel of the water and the Spirit.

From the very beginning God says that the hearts of the people living on this earth are without form, and void or empty, and darkness fills this space which is reserved for the Holy Spirit. This word ‘darkness’ mentioned here means sin, it is the state of the heart which still has the twelve sins he inherited from our forefathers Adam and Eve. And these sins are clearly recorded by Jesus in Mark 7:21-23. It’s these sins that are referred to as darkness by God. And this darkness causes many to live a confusing life of faith with sin and with the imperfect gospel. The Holy Spirit is Holy and He will not and cannot enter such a heart on any account. He can only enter a heart that has been cleansed from all its sin and who believes in this perfect gospel. Anyone claiming to be filled with the Holy Spirit while not believing in this perfect gospel and still has sin, lies through his teeth. Who is the father of lies? Satan of course, for when he lies, he speaks his natural language. Likewise, all those who have this imperfect gospel speak his language. Jesus says to the people who still have dark sinful hearts, "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, and these are they which testify of Me (John 5:39)." So first up, Jesus wants everyone living with dark sinful hearts to recognize themselves honestly before His law. They must fully realize their sinful hearts just as they see it in this mirror of Gods law. They have to realize the condition of their hearts before they can even think of being saved by this perfect gospel. How can anyone be saved from their sins if they don’t know they have sin, and what these sins are? This is of paramount importance in order to meet Gods righteousness. Then after they have done this they need to cry out to God for His mercy, for if He does not save them from their sin, they will die, for the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). And if He does save them, then they will be saved. Without doing this first part properly and honestly before God, you will be wasting your time and will have to return even after travelling on the road for a long time.

Secondly, you must come to know exactly how Jesus came to save you according to the Word of God, and not according to how you were taught by those who were saved imperfectly. You must not perpetuate the imperfect, but seek the perfect and perpetuate that, for this pleases God. According the Word of God the forgiveness of sins was first established in the OT sacrificial system (Lev 4). And we must come to know this thoroughly as taught by Gods servant, and once we know this we will understand exactly how Jesus came to this world as our sacrificial Lamb to take away the sins of the world. In the sacrificial system which God set, a sinner who wanted to receive forgiveness of his sin had to bring his animal to the high priest, and then in front of him first confess his sin over his animal by placing his hands on its head. Then his sin was transferred onto it, this animal became the propitiating sacrifice for his sin, and then only could it be killed and its blood used to make payment for his sin, for life was in the blood. Two very important things needed to be done by the sinner to receive forgiveness for his sin. One, the transference of his sin onto his unblemished sacrificial animal, and two, using its blood to make payment for his sin. Without following these critical steps as set by God, he could not be forgiven his sin, and remained in his sin even though he claimed otherwise.

Thirdly, to know that Jesus came to this world like these sacrificial lambs to also take up all our sins onto His head and then to make payment for these sins on the Cross. Two things Jesus had to do in order to fulfill all righteousness. If He did not fulfill them in accordance with the OT sacrificial system, then we will still be in our sins and be in very grave danger. It happened like this: Jesus who is God in the flesh was incarnate born to this world through a virgin named Mary. And at the age of 30 years He started His ministry as set by God for priest to begin their ministry. The very first thing He did was to be baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. Now this John the Baptist was also 30 years of age, and he started his ministry 6 months before by preparing the way for Jesus. This John was from the lineage of Aaron the High Priest and the representative of all mankind, and he was born to do a special job, like all priests before him. You see, Jesus needed a high priest to transfer all the sins of the world upon His head like all who did before him on the Day of Atonement. And just before Jesus was baptized this John placed his hands upon Jesus head and transferred all the sins of the world upon His head (Matthew 3:15). When this righteous act was completed the heavens opened and a voice was heard, "This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased (Matthew 3:17)." The reason why God was pleased was that His Son had just taken up all the sins of the world upon His body of sacrifice. So, without believing in this baptism of Jesus where all your sins were transferred upon Jesus through the hands of John the Baptist by faith, you cannot be saved and your sins remain (1 Peter 3:21). And John 3:3-5 means, if you want to be born again, you should be born of water and the Spirit. Here water means the baptism of Jesus, which does away with all the sins of the world once and for all. The Spirit means that Jesus who received baptism from John the Baptist is God Himself. This first part of the atonement for sins is critically important to be saved with the perfect gospel (Lev 16). Without the water in the ‘water, the blood and the Spirit (1 John 5:6-11), you cannot ever be saved from your sins. It will be the same for the sinner in the OT who never transferred his sin onto his animal but simply ignored this and just killed his lamb and offered its blood. But this blood cannot pay for any sin because the sinner’s sin was never transferred onto it, and it was killed for nothing.

So, to be saved by the perfect everlasting gospel, you must be born again by the gospel truth of the water and the Spirit. This is the perfect gospel that saves perfectly once and for all.

The imperfect gospel

Sadly, this gospel is being propagated vigorously throughout the world, and producing imperfect Christians who still have sin. You will not find the perfect everlasting gospel preached in any of these Christian churches across the face of this planet. And Satan will fight to keep it this way until all are destroyed. He hates Gods creation, and will do everything to keep them tightly in his vice-like grip until they are all cast into hell with him. Satan has also filled many of these churches with man-made doctrines of such people as Luther and Calvin. These doctrines work directly against God and His Word of truth.

As mentioned above, this imperfect gospel only believes in the blood on the cross as the only atoning sacrifice for mankind’s sin. Just like that sinner in the OT who never at first transferred his sin on to his animal with the laying on of his hands as set By God, and that animal became the propitiating sacrifice for his sin, but simply ignored this and then killed his animal giving this blood to the priest hoping his half- a –sacrifice for sin would suffice. But he had a problem because the priest could not use this blood on the altar, because he never transferred his sin onto his sacrificial lamb by the laying on of hands by faith. Instead he was rebuked and even stoned to death for violating the commands of God.

This is exactly what millions of Christians are doing everyday of their pitiful lives. They do not believe in this everlasting gospel that can save perfectly, but believe in the lies that are taught by Satan. They, like this person in the OT refuse to believe in the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist where Jesus took up all the sins of the world and then carried them to the Cross where He paid for them with His very life blood. They are taught an imperfect gospel of only the blood on the Cross and ignore the first part.

Instead of the blessings of eternal life they think they will be receiving one day, they will be receiving the wrath of God. The Word of God says this about all these stubborn Christians who refuse to transfer their sins onto our sacrificial Lamb through the hands of John the Baptist by faith when Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, "He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the (everlasting) gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of His power on the day He comes to be glorified in His Holy people and to be marveled at among all those who believed (2 Thessalonians 1:8-10)."

This is the imperfect gospel that God hates and which insults Him and makes Him out to be a liar. And this imperfect gospel has given birth to millions upon millions of imperfect people who believe in God.

If you read this message friend you can purify yourself by obeying the truth of this perfect everlasting gospel the Angels are proclaiming to all the peoples on this earth right now. And this gospel is called the water and the Spirit. It contains the water which is the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, the blood He shed on the Cross as payment for all these sins, and the Spirit means that Jesus who received baptism from John the Baptist is God Himself.

This true everlasting gospel is being preached to every person in every country right now through our Free sermon books. God has ordained this for this time, its His idea not mans idea.

If you wish to be saved perfectly with the perfect gospel once and for all, then may I ask you to go to the Free Christian Book request button and order the first few books in the series. In these Free Christian Books by the Rev Paul C Jong a man of God, you will encounter this everlasting gospel the Angels are preaching to all those who dwell on the earth-to every nation, tribe, tongue and people. Truly the hour for the Great Judgment is very near, so do everything possible to be saved by this perfect gospel.
