All Scripture Must be Fulfilled
By: Minister E. J. Kolenda
Jesus came to Jordan unto John the Baptist to be baptized.
John did not want to baptize him because as he said, “I
have need to be baptized of thee”. Jesus answered him in
these words, “Suffer it to be so now: For thus it becometh
us to fulfill all righteousness. Then John baptized Him.
[Matthew 3: 13-17]
All scripture must be fulfilled. It must be fulfilled
according to Scriptural Instruction.
"But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it
must be?" [Matthew 26:54]
Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill." King Herod
was determined to destroy the child Jesus, but Joseph took the
child and his mother, did flee to Egypt, and was there until the
death of King Herod. This was so that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken of the LORD by the Prophet Hosea. [Hosea 11:1]
"Out of Egypt have I called my son."
In [John 17:12] "While I was with them in the world, I kept them
in thy name. Those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of
them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might
be fulfilled."
All things written must be fulfilled. [Luke 21:22] "That all
things which are written may be fulfilled." All things written
in the Law of Moses, the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning
the LORD Jesus must be fulfilled.
In [John 19:28] After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were
now accomplished that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I
Thirst!" When they gave Him vinegar to drink, then Jesus said,
"It Is Finished." Then He bowed His head and gave up the ghost,
and He died. This is found in [John 19:30]. “It is finished”
meant that it has been fulfilled.
One of the disciples believed so firmly that Jesus was The King
of Israel and that He should reign over His kingdom at that
time, that when he saw Jesus taken by soldiers to be sentenced
to death by the Jews, the disciple took out his sword and struck
a servant of the High priest and cut off his ear.
He could not stand the thought that the LORD Jesus would
suffer. Jesus told Peter that He, Jesus, would suffer many
things from the elders, chief priest, and scribes and be killed.
Peter then took Jesus and began to rebuke him saying, "Be it far
from thee LORD, this shall not happen to you." Peter at all
times tried to defend the LORD Jesus. Therefore, Jesus said,
[Matthew 26:54] "But how then shall the scripture be fulfilled?"
Pilate asked Jesus "Art thou A King?" Jesus answered and said,
"To this end was I born."
Jesus said to the disciples in [Matthew 7:21], "Not everyone
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."
The Apostle James also said, "But be ye doers of the word and
not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." [James 1:22]
Let us take inventory of our own lives. Are we really doers of
the scriptures, or are we hearers only? Paul said to examine
ourselves to see if you are in the faith. The faith is always
the doctrine.
We are living in the end time of the church age, and deception
is nearly everywhere. How can we fulfill the scriptures unless
we do what the scripture commands us to do? As we see the
Scriptures being fulfilled in our time we need to take our own
fulfillment of the Scriptures very seriously.
How shall the scriptures be fulfilled, if we do not fulfill
GOD'S word and promises? Jesus was the Lamb of GOD for a
sacrifice for sins of man. He was to pay the redemption price to
set men free from the bondage of sin. This has to be GOD'S way
and ONLY His way.
Please note: All things originate of The Father; and we can have
things of the One GOD, The Father, but we must come to The
Father by The LORD Jesus Christ. Jesus said this in [John 14:6]
"No man cometh to The Father but by Me." This would be the Name
to come to the Father, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
How can we be set free if we do not fulfill the scriptures for
our own personal salvation? Jesus had to fulfill the scriptures,
and are we not also accountable for fulfilling the Word? We must
fulfill the scriptures in {Romans 6:3,4,5]: "Know ye not that so
many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into
His death."
Please note: Jesus fulfilled the scriptures even unto death;
this is to provide salvation to us. Now it is up to us to
fulfill the scripture for our own salvation. We shall die with
Him by baptism into death in His name, Lord Jesus Christ. The
Father did not die and the Holy Ghost certainly never died.
Therefore, in order to fulfill the scriptures, we are baptized
(buried) with Him by baptism, into death, burial and
resurrection.
Salvation comes only when we, too, fulfill the scriptures as we
are instructed by the bible to do. Let us also follow The LORD
JESUS CHRIST together, in the likeness of His death, by baptism,
and we shall fulfill the scriptures for the beginning of
salvation.
How much truth does it take to go to heaven?

The benefits of the LORD are without measure. He promises us in
the Word that if we obey Him there will never be want or lack.
Many times obedience is a hard thing for human beings.
Self-discipline is not an easy thing. Obedience to rules is also
hard for us humans. The rewards for obedience are so great that
it is worth all the effort that we put into it.
I have read many books on doing business and one of the first
things they tell you is this, "you must be Self Motivated.” That
is fine but first you need to be "GOD Motivated.” This is only
if you are looking to have a long-term (as in eternal)
relationship with our Heavenly Father.
This requires that you give Him first place always in
everything. In ALL Things give Thanks and obedience is a big
part of giving thanks. The words Thank You is nice but obedience
means Thank You by action.Your Minister of Helps

Temper is what gets most of us in trouble.
Pride is what keeps us there.

The body becomes the battleground.
