Our conversion is through Jesus Christ and Him only. He converts us, a sinner, to an overcomers, by giving us His robes of righteousness to put on through obedience to His every Word. By us fulfilling our part of His Holy Ten Commandment Covenant, He frees us from all our transgressions of His Holy Laws and transforms us into obedient TREES of RIGHTEOUSNESS. This is the purpose Christ came into the world to accomplish.
How did He accomplished this? By cutting off the physical Nation of Israel as the Kingdom of God (Elohim) where His precepts on earth, were in the Arc of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies. Now He has establishing a new and better New Kingdom of God here with Jesus Christ being the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now His presents here on earth is in the hearts of all who believe in Him. A Kingdom that is open to all who will come to Him. A Kingdom of both Jews and Gentiles alike without respector of persons or nations. A Kingdom that is comprised of people out of every nation on earth that have joined themselves to the Christ of Israel and received His Holy Spirit into their (His) Temple where the Ten Commandment Covenant resides now. There is only one God. All other things worshipped are non gods, mythologies. Who are these mythological gods that people worship? Most of them are the Host of Heaven gods. How do you worship them? Solar holidays: Christmas, Easter and other Solar holidays that all gentile Nations keep. (Isa 44:6) "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." (Eph 5:27) How did He accomplished this? By cutting of the physical Nation of Israel OFF as the Kingdom of God (Elohim). His precepts were in the Arc of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies. Now that He has establishing His New Kingdom of God here on earth with Jesus Christ being the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, His precepts are written in the hearts of all true believers. A "New Way Kingdom" that is open to all who will come to Him and repent of transgressing His Holy Covenant. A Kingdom of both Jews and Gentiles alike without respect of persons or nations. A Kingdom that is comprised of people out of every nation on earth that have joined themselves to the Christ of Israel and received His Holy Spirit into their (His) Temple where the Ten Commandment Covenant now resides. There is only one God. All other things worshipped are the imaginations of man's minds, they are non gods. Who are these non gods that people worship? The Host of Heaven. How do you worship them? By using idols and keeping the holidays of the Babylon Mystery Religion. (Eph 2:12-16) "That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: {13} But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. {14} For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; {15} Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; {16} And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by His death, having slain the enmity thereby:" This is a study of overcoming all things, all our transgressions, call sin, through the Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ that is given to all sinners who come to Him and ask for His forgiveness. They must accept His Ten Commandment Covenant and repent of transgressing it. In doing so, they have joins themselves to Him and His Commonwealth of Israel. (John 3:6-7) "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. {7} Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." If one has not received the Holy Spirit of the Fathers Kingdom and cry Abba Father, they have not been born into the Kingdom of God. All who have repented of transgressing Gods Holy Laws and confessed Christ as their New King and Savor have interred the Kingdom here on earth. Your past sins are forgiven and you start of as a Son of God with a new and clean slate. (1 John 5:4-5) "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the (sins in the) world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. {5} Who is he that overcometh the (sins in the) world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" The Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ is given to everyone convert to Commonwealth Christianity at the time they accept Jesus Christ as their Savor. The Holy Scriptures are simple and straight forward in what they are saying to us. All we have to do is believe them and than do what the Holy Spirit tells us to do. (2 Cor 11:2-3) "For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. {3} But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." If we are obedient to crucify our old man of sin and put on the righteousness of the New man that is birthed from the seed of His word in us by the Spirit of Christ, we will grow into a TREE of Righteousness. If we overcome evil through His Grace, He will not remove our name from His Book of Life. Our name was written in the Book of Life when we accepted Him and received His Holy Spirit within. We were yet sinners when this happeded. Our name will be removed if we do not fulfill His standard of Righteousness that He requires of His Bride, the Church. (Mat 7:23) "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Rev 3:5) "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." (Heb 10:19-31) "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, {20} By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; {21} And having an high priest over the house of God; {22} Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. {23} Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) {24} And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: {25} Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. {26} For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, {27} But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. {28} He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: {29} Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, The New WAY Covenant that came into effect at the time of Christs death is a new and living way for all mankind to receive His salvation. (Heb 8:10-13) "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: {11} And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. {12} For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. {13} In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away." The Old Covenant with it's sacrifices is gone forever. This is the New Covenant that he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; When the vale was rent, the holiest of places was made open to all sinners who have received the Holy Spirit of Christ to enter in. As a Son of God, we can now enter into His presents and receive of Him and learn of Him how to put on His Robes of righteousness through our obedience. We must crucify our old man nature of the first Adam and put on the New man nature of the second Adam, Christ Jesus. "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." (Gal 2:20) This is the New Covenant that he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; When the vale was rent, the holiest of places was made open to all sinners who have received the Holy Spirit of Christ to enter in. As an earthly Son of God they can enter into His presents and receive of Him, His Robes of righteousness through their obedience to crucify the old nature inherited from the earthly Adam and put on the New nature of the second Adam from heaven, Christ Jesus. (Eph 2:4-6) "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, {5} Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) {6} And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" We were quicken together with Christ when we were yet sinners. Our names were written down in the book of life when we were yet sinners. If we follow Christs leading and put on His righteous Life, we will stop sinning all together and be saved. If we continue to transgress His Holy Righteous WAYS, our names will be removed and we will be destroyed. (Heb 10:19) "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus," The Holy of Holies, is not opened to the non believer, but it is open to all sinners who accepted Jesus Christ and are born again of His Holy Spirit. It is open to our New man, the New Creation born from the SEED of Christs Words within. With the giving of His Holy Spirit at the time of the persons acceptance of Him through receiving the seed of His Holy word, a new person was born within and the old man of sin was put to death in baptism. The Father and Son both came in and made their abode with the new creation, the new man within. All past sins were for given and we all started off with a clean slate in Christ. Now the process of crucifying the old nature, the old man begins with the help of the Fathers and Sons Holy Spirit living within. (John 1:11-13) "He came unto his own, and his own received him not. {12} But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: {13} Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (2 Tim 2:14-15) "Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. {15} Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (Mat 6:33) "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and study to show thyself approved unto God are two Commandments that must be obeyed if one is to put on His robes of Righteousness. (Rom 5:21) "That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord." (6:1-10) "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? {2} God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? {3} Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? {4} Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. {5} For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: {6} Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. {7} For he that is dead is freed from sin. {8} Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: {9} Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. {10} For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God."(Rom 8:11-23) "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. {12} Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. {13} For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. {14} For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. {15} For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. {16} The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: {17} And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. {18} For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. {19} For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. {20} For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, {21} Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. {22} For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. {23} And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body." (Rom 8:23-28) "And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. {24} For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? {25} But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. {26} Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. {27} And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. {28} And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Here is another Commandment, search, that we must obey if we are to be established in His truths. (John 5:39-46) "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. {40} And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. {41} I receive not honour from men. {42} But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. {43} I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. {44} How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? {45} Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. {46} For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me." All the teaching of the Holy Scriptures have as there main focus the Ten Commandment Covenant of the Lord God of Israel with His people He Calls Israel. This is the theme of the following scriptures. (Psa 111:10) "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever." (To not keep His Holy Commandments is not wise. All transgressors of His Holy Commandments will be destroyed in the judgment.) (1 John 3:15-19) "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. {16} Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. {17} But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? {18} My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. {19} And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him." (Deu 6:6-9) "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: {7} And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. {8} And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. {9} And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates." (Prov 3:3-11) "Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: {4} So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. {5} Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. {6} In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. {7} Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. {8} It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. {9} Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: {10} So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. {11} My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:" (Prov 7:1-10) "My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. {2} Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. {3} Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. {4} Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: {5} That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. {6} For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, {7} And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, {8} Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, {9} In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: {10} And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtle of heart." (Heb 8:9-13) "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. {10} For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: {11} And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. {12} For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. {13} In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away." (John 6:53-58) "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. {54} Who so eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. {55} For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. {56} He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. {57} As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. {58} This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever." The Kingdom of God is the tree of life. It is called the Good olive tree in the first Covenant. The above parable can best be understood in the light of the teaching of the Good Olive tree that we gentiles are grafted into. If we as a wild olive branch that has been grafted into the Good olive tree do not get all our substance of life from the Good olive tree that we have been grafted into, we do not have the same life in us that is in the root, stock and branches of that tree. If we draw on the new life that we have been grafted into, we will bear the fruits of the Good olive tree. If we remain a wild olive branch, our fruit will be bitter as the fruit of a real olive is. It is impossible to eat. (Rom 11:16-22) "For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. {17} And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; {18} Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. {19} Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. {20} Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith (your believe in Christ). Be not highminded, but fear: {21} For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. {22} Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his GOODNESS: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off." The following scripture must also be understood in the light of the Tree of Life in the garden and the Good olive tree referring to the heavenly Kingdom of Israel. Jesus is referred to as the branch, stem, hand and finger of God. His Father, His sources is referred to as God or the root that we are grafted into when we are grafted into the visible branches of God or Tree of Life which is Christ manifested. (John 14:9-18) "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me (the tree of life), Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father (the root of the tree also); and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? {10} Believest thou not that I (the branch) am in the Father, and the Father (root) in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father (the root) that dwelleth in me, he (the the life in the root) doeth the works. {11} Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works (fruits)' sake. {12} Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works (fruits that I produce) that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. {13} And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father (Fathers fruit) may be glorified in the Son. {14} If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. {15} If ye love me, keep my commandments. {16} And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; {17} Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. {18} I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." To better understand the Kingdom of God, called the Tree of life and the Good Olive tree, Christ gave us the following scriptures to explain it. They are talking about carnal Israel and also talking about carnal gentiles. We are the wild olive branch that are grafted in to the GOOD Olive Tree and if we do not do the will of God and bear the Good fruit of the Tree of Life, which are all righteous fruits, we to will be cut of and burnt. (Mat 3:10) "And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees ( (Mat 7:15-21) "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. {16} Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? {17} Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. {18} A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. {19} Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. {20} Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. {21} Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." (Mat 25:41-42) "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me (you who did not keep my Commandments), ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: {42} For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:" (This is a fruit of the Spirit) (Rev 14:13) "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. {13} And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." (John 6:53-58) "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. {54} Who so eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. {55} For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. {56} He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. {57} As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. {58} This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever." The Kingdom of God is the tree of life. It is called the Good olive tree in the first Covenant. The above parable can best be understood in the light of the teaching of the Good Olive tree that we gentiles are grafted into. If we as a wild olive branch that has been grafted into the Good olive tree do not get all our substance of life from the Good olive tree that we have been grafted into, we do not have the same life in us that is in the root, stock and branches of that tree. If we draw on the new life that we have been grafted into, we will bear the fruits of the Good olive tree. If we remain a wild olive branch, our fruit will be bitter as the fruit of a real olive is. It is impossible to eat. (Rom 11:16-22) "For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. {17} And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; {18} Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. {19} Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. {20} Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith (your believe in Christ). Be not highminded, but fear: {21} For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. {22} Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his GOODNESS: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off." The following scripture must also be understood in the light of the Tree of Life in the garden and the Good olive tree referring to the heavenly Kingdom of Israel. Jesus is referred to as the branch, stem, hand and finger of God. His Father, His sources is referred to as God or the root that we are grafted into when we are grafted into the visible branches of God or Tree of Life which is Christ manifested. (John 14:9-18) "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me (the tree of life), Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father (the root of the tree also); and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? {10} Believest thou not that I (the branch) am in the Father, and the Father (root) in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father (the root) that dwelleth in me, he (the the life in the root) doeth the works. {11} Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works (fruits)' sake. {12} Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works (fruits that I produce) that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. {13} And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father (Fathers fruit) may be glorified in the Son. {14} If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. {15} If ye love me, keep my commandments. {16} And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; {17} Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. {18} I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." To better understand the Kingdom of God, called the Tree of life and the Good Olive tree, Christ gave us the following scriptures to explain it. They are talking about carnal Israel and also talking about carnal gentiles. We are the wild olive branch that are grafted in to the GOOD Olive Tree and if we do not do the will of God and bear the Good fruit of the Tree of Life, which are all righteous fruits, we to will be cut of and burnt. (Mat 3:10) "And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees ( (Mat 7:15-21) "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. {16} Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? {17} Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. {18} A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. {19} Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. {20} Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. {21} Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." (Mat 25:41-42) "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me (you who did not keep my Commandments), ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: {42} For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:" (This is a fruit of the Spirit) (Rev 14:13) "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. {13} And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
