The Bible On Trial

Will of God~

When someone mentions a Will many of us think of that thing that defines what we want to occur after our death; disbursment of funds, property, and the like, to those we hold dear. This 'Will' is most often a legal document laid down with the assistance of an Attorney at Law, althought an attested document on a napkin has sufficed for this purpose. What makes this kind of document binding is the fact that the author has to be dead in order for the document to gain the force of Law. This can be problematic for the person that writes the will, because they are never around to witness whether their instructions have been fully carried out.

Believe it or not Jesus, the Son of God, wrote a Will; a document that was available for everyone in His Kingdom to read, that expressed His Will for His people. This document contains the instructions that His Kingdom needed to accomplish in order to establish that Kingdom of the Heavens on the earth, which was witnessed by His Father, and countersigned by His Mother, the Holy Spirit. When the Kingdom of God refused to accomplish the requirements of this Will (given two chances) God sent His own Son to the earth for the purpose of encouraging His Kingdom to obey that Will, which they did not. So God, using the force of His Law, executed His own Son in order to give Lawful weight to His Will, and established a Kingdom that "would produce the fruit of it" (Matt. 21:43).

Jesus died in order to pay the penalty for the disobedience of His Kingdom against His Will, His final and last Testimony, so those in the world that would OBEY that Will would be able to have eternal life by entering His Kingdom. The Testimony of Jesus, and His Commandments (Rev. 12:17) gained the force of Law as a legal and binding document upon His death. Yet the grave could not hold Him, ane He resurrected to see the fulfiment of the Law in His New Kingdom.
