The Birth of Jesus: Crucifixion & Resurrection Great Commission

By Elda Sullins

It is God who has spoken to mankind this time through his loving Son, Jesus Christ, who has come to save our souls. This is the one whose birth, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and the greatest commission were accomplished. An ancient promise speaks of a new holy righteous convent, which will be everlasting in order to save the whole world. As a result of the gracious gift of life and the unfailing love of God that never dies, Emmanuel is the promised king messiah, who is going to come and take back the lost relationship between God and his people. Jesus Christ was God's plan to bring heaven to earth to fulfill the ultimate plan of righteousness that has existed since the beginning of time.

The Lord has filled every hole in the heart of humanity with his grace. As God's creation, we are created to be able to fulfill the purpose for which he created us by knowing him in an intimate, personal relationship and experiencing real joy and satisfaction in our lives. Adam and Eve were the first man and woman that God created in his image, and they knew this joy in a perfect fellowship with him until they chose to disobey him. Although they tried to cover up their sin, they were unable to avoid the curse that sin has brought to the world as a result of their sin. As God purposed in Romans 5:12, so that they would once again have a right relationship with him, he devised a miraculous master plan. An instruction was given by God to sacrifice a lamb or to sacrifice an animal of a particular type and shed its blood. To make up for the sins of the people, the animal's death would serve as a substitute to compensate for their sins. Although that did remove their sin, it was only a foreshadow of what was to come (Hebrews 9:19-28). It was only to be the fulfillment of what had been promised (Hebrews 10:1-14). By God's will, we have been sanctified, once and for all, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ's body. It is only through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross that sin can be wiped away.

In order to achieve permanent forgiveness, God has designed a plan. Due to his great love, God gave of himself in order to ensure our untimely sustainability in John 3:16-17. He offers his Son, Jesus, as the perfect Lamb of God. In the Gospel of John, Christ gives his life on the cross in order to make reconciliation with God eternal. He gave his life in order for us to be forgiven. According to 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, he died for our sins. He is our redemption through his blood, and we are the beneficiaries of his grace through the forgiveness of our sins as a result of his blood (Ephesians 1:7).

A new life is given to us by God, who offers us the chance to be saved from the penalty of hell and a future in heaven to give us a new life in him. According to Romans 6:23, Jesus said in John 14:2-3 that he gives them the right to become children of God (2 Corinthians 5:17). When we accept him as our Lord and Savior, we are given a new life in him (John 1:12). In this way, God gave us a new life in him as his child! The only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ (John 14-16), according to Romans 5:1.

God's plan is a gift that he has offered to each of us, not a reward that will be earned by working to achieve it. Our own sin must be seen as God sees it in Ephesians 2:8-9. Your eternal fate in hell depends on whether you're safe or not. Accept Jesus as your Savior by faith in your heart, and ask God for forgiveness from the depths of your heart. The Bible says in Romans 10:9-10, "You can accept Jesus as your savior right now, by praying directly from your heart."

About the Author

A Brief Description of Elda Sullins

My sole aim in this endeavor is to facilitate the true holistic gospel based on biblical studies.

This will lead to the development of mature followers of Jesus Christ who are transformed by his infinite love, mercy, grace, and truth. I have gained wisdom and a capacity to only acknowledge that which I hear from God as a result. My mission as a true believer is to inspire people and motivate them to share the advent of Christ, the birth, the crucifixion, and the resurrection of Christ. I want to share the great news, awaken, and revive true believers. It is also imperative to demonstrate this behavior by walking in obedience as well as the attitude of seeking God's will, plan, and purpose in his timing, his ways, and his understanding.

My doctoral dissertation in educational studies did not originate from the school of theology. My school of theology is Jesus Christ, and his Holy Bible is my teacher. Throughout the past fourteen years, I have dedicated considerable time to seeking devotional, prayer memorization, and the composition of knowledge. I have done this in the early hours from 4:00 until 7:00 a.m., sometimes even later in the day.

I taught in the church ministry school for over five years for children up to three years old then moved to the choir room for young girls ages ten to twelve for three years. I have been given the mandate by God to teach and share the gospel with all people.

Mandate: Gifted with a strong apostolic anointing, herald of righteousness witnesses, and a receiver of double portion of his grace upon grace and favor. In my mandate, I am to testify and edify the church by calling, ordination, and teaching the gospel through missions and evangelism to all people for the awakening, revival, and to set the captives free.

To witness by…

Testifying of Jesus Christ's Great Commission

Here is my husband and I, as well our family members!

My husband and I are devout Christians who follow Jesus Christ. My husband and I have three lovely children. Having them is a joy for us. I am blessed with a wonderful husband who has shared God's blessings with me for twenty-five years now. It has been fifteen years since I accepted Christ as my Savior, but twelve years ago, God gave me a mandate. My work is to assist men and women with their physical appearance as well as to assist them spiritually and mentally. I am a nutritionist and personal trainer, and I work from home. However, the Lord has also given me a mandate in my personal endeavors. The Lord has given me a wonderful call to minister, to help, all men and women to identify their true identities through Christ by approaching my training and nutrition methods differently for men and women. I am able to showcase all the guidelines the Lord has taught me over the years. There is a separate website for this calling, which is to impact society and what the world thinks of it and what God says. Having identified ourselves with the King, we are proud to be a son or daughter of the King and do not need to deny our identity. Through Christ, however, we are to walk with our full identity.

My mother's family consists of three sisters and one brother. My biological father and mother do not live together. Nevertheless, my mother remarried my stepfather, and they have been married for more than thirty years. All of my family members are members of the Christian faith. My husband's family consists of four brothers and one lovely sister. Unfortunately, his parents are departed. Each member of the family is a believer in Christ. It is a blessing that all of our family members walk in the path of the Lord. Our family members live in various states in the United States.

Each day, I am honored to be serving God in the education ministries. I believe in the supreme authority of the Bible over all matters of the Christian faith. I believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible written Word of God, given to us by God by which we may know him in a deeper and more personal way. It is also through the Bible that we may know God's will, his decrees, and precepts.

Sharing the Word of God

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

—2 Timothy 3:16–17

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

—2 Peter 1:20–21

Mission Summary

I am submitted to the authority of God's written Word, the Bible, and acknowledge that it alone has the truth about God, and it is our manual on how to live our lives here on earth.

My website is a platform for me to share God's Word to those who have not yet come to the saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to encourage fellow believers to stand firm in their faith and to assure them that they have made the right decision to surrender their lives to Christ and become his followers.

Oaks of Righteousness is a ministry dedicated to bringing the church reformation, Kingdom demonstration. To transform and seek to establish an accurate borderline kingdom for all nations. To be an accurate prophetic voice in releasing song, revelation, depth of wisdom, knowledge, guidelines through the prompting of the Holy spirit and insights that will elevate the church and magnify Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Our vision is to establish a new and more effective model of sound biblical education along with kingdom centares mindset, discerning at all times the prompting of the Holy Spirit to train and equip the body of Jesus Christ (which is the church), empowering strong transformations, leaders, minsters, and saints to embark a kingdom culture defined to be a core value for the perpetuation of God's purpose among all people and the complete manifestation of Jesus Christ's kingdom here on earth.

Oaks of Righteousness is a ministry that defends and stands with every ministry that is focused on preparing the saints to face the battles in a world of doubtfulness, equipping them to be effective witnesses and providing them the tools to teach others these truths, merging in a walk with full confidence and faith in Jesus Christ by always discerning the prompting of the Holy Spirit. We earnestly pray and deeply ask the Lord to fill every person with a pure heart of love, humility, meekness, boldness, and compassion for the lost to have a reignited heart of love, to see people saved from eternal destruction, and to have an awoken revival from spiritual slumber with a heart of love for the perishing ones, reforming positions and patterns throughout the global community of kingdom citizens. We are ambassadors that demonstrate diligent biblical promotion and are boldly determined in the proclamation of God's kingdom agenda on earth.

Reconciling the world back to God through effective evangelism, discipleship, community outreach, publishing books, and media outlets, the objective of equipping and empowering strong transformations in leaders, minsters and all saints is to embrace the kingdom culture, to live an accomplishing life, planting and building churches the body of Christ, leading institutions, and to establish kingdom embassies locally and globally, collaborating with other ministries by bringing strategies, training, planning, and accelerating the kingdom mindset to the edification of all saints.

There Is Only One God

Our Beliefs

For he is one in essence and three in person.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)

For this is the Godhead, he deserves all praise, honor, and glory. The Bible speaks of the Father as God.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. (Deuteronomy 6:4)

I and the Father are one. (John 10:30)

Below are three different ways of looking at God, referring to three different roles of God. His word also indicates that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct persons.

(Father as God) Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:2)

(Jesus as God) while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, (Titus 2:13)

(Holy spirit as God) Then Peter said, Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God. (Acts 5:3–4)

For example, since the Father sent the Son into the world…

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

He cannot be the same person as the Son. Likewise, after the Son returned to the Father.

About righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer. (John 16:10)

The Father and the Son sent the Holy Spirit into the world.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John 14:26)

Therefore, the Holy Spirit must be distinct from the Father and the Son. The fact that God is one in essence but three in person has helped to show why the Trinity is not a contradiction. God's essence is his being.

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. (Colossians 1:15)

For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, (Colossians 1:19)

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, (Colossians 2:9)

God Is Infinite

He is self-existing. Without origin, he was created by nothing and has always existed forever, and all things are under his control, for he is sovereign, Lord of all the supreme authority in all things. He is the same from before the beginning and eternity, for he is immutable. He never changes. He is infinite in love, grace and mercy.

We Believe the Kingdom

Jesus Christ's great news was to bring heaven to earth. This is the holistic gospel. It is to advance heaven on earth.

Remember the keys of the kingdom is the righteousness of God. In one of Jesus's parables, he explained to his disciples the reason he was instructing the people via parables rather than news reports. As he said, you have been given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven but not them. He replied, Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them (Matthew 13:11).

We, kingdom people, are the ones who can unlock the doors. We have the key, and the people of the world will not understand. When they come up against a locked door, they use all sorts of man-made keys, trying frantically to open the door.

It is only we who can unlock the doors to the kingdom. Only we possess the keys, and everyone else does not. They try frantically to open locked doors with a variety of man-made keys when they come up against one.

By the old law, righteousness in the kingdom could not be achieved. It is impossible to accomplish God's plan through earthly means as people miss the righteousness that comes through faith. Only through the Messiah will righteousness be established. By faith in the gospel, he is building a spiritual kingdom based on his righteousness. The righteousness of the kingdom is tied to the Messiah and is the source of everlasting righteousness.

Jesus, however, is patiently waiting for someone to realize that the deflated of a closed door is actually the key to unlocking it. He said, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heavens, whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven and whatever you loose on Earth will be loosed in Heaven (Matthew 16:19). As the anointed one, Jesus holds the key to the fulfillment of the kingdom on Earth. As a message of his father's kingdom, his mission was to establish his Father's kingdom here on earth. The kingdom was God's eternal purpose in the person of Jesus Christ.

The mystery of God's kingdom is now available to all of us. He provided the resources precisely at the right time and in the right place because of his grace. It is unlikely that we will increase our chances of obtaining the sources from earth's kingdom.

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:31–34)

Christ's body (the church) was the vehicle through which God established his kingdom. God's kingdom is spread through preaching, which means repenting and believing that the kingdom is nearby. The great news is to be brought to all mankind and to all nations of the earth, similar to how Jesus proclaimed the kingdom of God during his lifetime. Bringing the good news is an honorable undertaking (Isaiah 52:7).

Kingdom provision lies behind the door. Get your hand around those keys. God's plan is to fill the earth with righteousness, to make all his creation in the righteousness of God through faith in the new covenant, and to administer righteousness that comes through his beloved Son, Jesus Christ. All the saints will be called Oaks of Righteousness, planting the Lord for the display of his splendor (Isaiah 61:1–3). The Messiah will bring in everlasting righteousness and worship, praise to spring forth among all mankind and nations around the world.

The plan of God is so simple for growing his kingdom. One person tells another person about the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ. By trusting in Jesus Christ, a person's sins are forgiven, and they become members of God's family. In Jesus Christ, the individual is righteous as God's child. He or she becomes the righteousness of God, for he (Jesus) is our righteousness, and now he or she lives in the kingdom and part of the new covenant.

By combining God's beauty with the best thing in the world, the kingdom of God, explicitly the coming of Christ's reign as king on earth, should enhance and sustain the best thing in the world Hebrews 13:14 says, we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

Satan will oppose any ministry that purposes to advance Jesus Christ's kingdom. The enemy oppression is to persecute the church (the body of Christ) to try to destroy all that has been already established. But Jesus Christ has subdued the enemies, fulfilled through the perpetual covenant by his death and resurrection on the cross.

Satan is real and must be reckoned with seriously in this age. Satan doesn't even have the keys to a home. He is living under-the abyss. And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time (Revelation 20:1–3).

Locked down until the coming of the lion Of Judah, which later he will be placed away forever, so do not give him a key. We must be sober in our prayers, fight the good fight, and anticipate the victory of God at the perfect time. Jesus prays for all of God's people and never let Satan destroy our faith and bring saints to destruction. When the enemy is supernatural, so must our weapons be with all supplication in fervent prayers, warfare prayers, for God has given us power, authority in our mouth to cut the head of the dragon.

We must walk, discerning the prompting of the Holy Spirit. This is the ability to hear and see any enemy attacks. In order to cause trouble in God's children's lives, Satan must ask God's permission before he can seize you. It is all by permission and never by force. Satan can only act with permission. There is only one ultimate power in the universe, not two. God is that power.

Our ties to the world don't prevent us from feeling like exiles and aliens. Of course, not merely because our values differ from those without a belief in God, our struggles are also quite different from those who are unaware of Satan. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you (John 15:19).

Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. (1 Peter 2:11–12)

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. (Matthew 16:18)

I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. (Revelation 1:18)

To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars, I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.
