8th Chapter

At this point of our exegesis, we will begin with a needful, but brief explanation of the conditional statements that is utilized in logic.  The logic of mankind began with the Wisdom that is in the WORD of GOD, and Yahweh God's Logical Wisdom brings God's Light to our mind's understanding.   For examples of logic, then follow the logic of  "If, Then, When" in the following logical statements: If our minds are to be renewed, Then our minds are to be renewed by the GRACE and TRUTH of Yahweh GOD'S Spirit of Holiness. The word [if] is the beginning of a conditional statement that in Scripture may be followed with an understood [then] that defines the end of the conditional statement.  Therefore if you live after the flesh, [then] you shall die: but if you through the Spirit [of Yahweh God] do mortify [put to death] the deeds of the body, [then] you shall live. Also  when "a beginning When is coupled with and ending Then" then the waiting truth of  a conditional statement m is true; for 'When' something is true, 'Then' the condition is fulfilled.

When considering Paul's latter verses in Chapter seven, then we should see a singularity of thought that is illustrating Paul's own singular problem with his own sin that reveals he is already dead because of sin.

O wretched man that I am, who shall save me from this body of death?  I thank Yahweh God, through Jesus Christ our Savior. So then with my mind, I myself serve the Law of Yahweh God, but with my flesh, (I serve the) law of sin and death.

If Paul's logic is understood to be of the TRUTH of Yahweh GOD, then the rendering of the first verse of Chapter 8 poses a difficulty for some to understand. 

1Therefore there is no condemnation to them which are IN Christ Jesus, who walk not in accordance with the flesh, but walk in accordance with the Spirit of Yahweh God.

Paul is writing of a plurality of people, and the plurality does not ring true with Paul's own self illustration of the death of the one person of himself. The script "to them which are IN" is actually only the one Greek word 'en'. The superfluous high lighted green words 'them which are' is totally absent from the Greek text. We can appreciate the endeavors of the 15th century English interpreters of Greek and Latin Scriptures, even though they add their own words that they think help make the Scriptures read in an order that is cogent with the 15th century times. However, we believe that the 15th century translators of the available Greek and Latin Scriptures also gave themselves to much license to add their own interpretations, as if their additions were Scripture.

If we remove the 1st verse of Romans chapter 8 from the present order, then consider that there are several logical places for the thought to fit into the writings, and not interfere with the continuity of the verses that speak of the individual wretchedness of Paul and his only solution that is found IN Yahweh God's righteous mercy IN the risen Christ Jesus.  We moved the following corrected Scripture to a new position below verse 4 and noted its position with a flashing star *. 1 Therefore, no condemnation IN Christ Jesus, to not walk after the flesh, but after the Spirit.   

Romans 7 verse:

24 O wretched man that I am, who shall save  me  from this body of death, 

25 I thank [Yahweh] God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I desire to serve the Law of God; but with the flesh, I serve the separate law of sin and death [that desires too control me.] (Romans 7 verse 21 thru 25.)

Romans 8 verse:

2 For the Law of the SPIRIT of LIFE IN Christ Jesus, has made me free from the Law of Sin and Death.
3 For what the [Torah] Law could not do, in that it [the warning Ten Commandments] was weak through the flesh, [Yahweh] God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for [sinful] flesh, condemned sin in His Flesh.
4 That the righteousness of the [Torah] Law, might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit [of Yahweh God].

*1 There is therefore  now  no  condemnation  to them which are IN  Christ  Jesus who walk  not  after  the flesh,  but  after  the Spirit.

The reader can place the specified Romans 8 verse 1 to follow after any one of the 3 verses and the message will not have lost its true meaning.  For the SPIRIT of LIFE IN Christ Jesus is Yahweh God's Spirit Who with Christ gives Grace IN Communion to those who because of their flesh are held in the bondage of Sin and Death.  

There is therefore no condemnation to those IN Christ Jesus who walk after the Spirit of Yahweh God. 

Those who believe IN the TRUTH are submitting to Yahweh God's cleansing Covenant Word of TRUTH spoken by His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

Take and Drink all of you: For this is My Blood of the New Covenant that is shed for many for the remission  [obliteration of sin and the penalty] of sin.

The Power of Yahweh God's Grace IN Christ Jesus is further amplified in the following Scripture of Romans 8:14: For as many, are led by the Spirit of [Yahweh] God [then] they are the sons of [Yahweh] God (to understand God's conditions see Romans 8 verse 7 thru 14.) 

The fallible mind of man is to be renewed by Yahweh God's Cleansing Grace IN Christ Jesus, for the mind is to be led by Yahweh God's Spirit of TRUTH that is One IN the Mind of Christ Jesus.  For the Spirit of Life IN Christ Jesus is Yahweh God's Spirit of Grace that when received as the TRUTH, then God's Grace IN Christ Jesus will bring freedom to those held in their flesh's bondage of Sin and Death.

3 For what the [warnings in the] Law [in the 10 Commandments] could not do, because the Law [the warnings of the Decalogue] was weak through sin's command of the flesh, God sent His Own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, Christ condemned sin's power IN His Flesh.

Take and Drink all of you: For this is My Blood of the New Covenant that is shed for many for the remission of sin.

Sin's power is death. But Jesus Christ, as the innocent Son of Man/Adam, defeated the power of sin and death in His Own Flesh.  Jesus, the Lamb of God, freely Offered His sinless LIFE to Almighty God to pay for the sin and death of all of guilty mankind. Yahweh God was well pleased with Jesus Christ's Offering of His guiltless LIFE for sinning mankind, and then in His Holy Righteousness Yahweh God raised the innocent Son of Man/Adam, Jesus Christ from the death of sin.  And now we have great solace in the written Word's of Isaiah:

Death is swallowed up in victory. O death where is your sting. O grave where is your victory. (See Isaiah 25:8-9, Hosea 13:14.)  

Death could not hold the sinless Man Jesus Christ in the grave, for Yeshua, the Lord of Salvation arose from the dead of Man's sin with the Power of the LIFE of His Father Yahweh God.  And so it is written:

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is revealed by the Law [in the Ten Commandments]. But thanks be to Yahweh God, Who has given to us the victory through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. (See 1st Corinthians 15 verse 54 thru 57.)

If we are IN Christ Jesus, then it is because of our Living Faith that gives us rest IN our Lord's victory with His Power of LIFE over death.  IN Christ's victory, the poisonous sting of sin has lost its power of death. Yahweh God is not willing that anyone should perish in death, but that all would come to repentance, and Live IN the TRUTH of Christ Jesus, the WORD of GOD.

4 That the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

*1 There is therefore  now  no  condemnation  to them which are IN  Christ  Jesus who walk  not  after  the flesh,  but  after  the Spirit.

The sinless Man, Christ Jesus  was crucified to death for the curse of sin in the flesh of all of mankind, and IN His resurrection to the LIFE of His Father God, Christ openly showed that the Law of sin and its sting of death had no hold on the Son of Man and LIFE Eternal.  And now Jesus Christ is the First Fruit of Holy God's Spirit of TRUTH and LIFE, and likewise to those branches nurtured IN the Vine, who by Faith IN Christ are yielded to the Vine of God's Promise of LIFE. (See Romans 11 verse 16.)

The curse of sin is death, and the foolishness of the self religious ignorant, blame the Law of God as the causative factor for sin. No! For from the beginning of Elohim's creation of Man, He gave mankind freewill to choose to eat of the goodness of Elohim, or with man's own freewill to decide what was best for himself.  Adam refused the goodness of Elohim and chose for himself, death.  For Adam's sake, Yahweh God cursed the ground, for Adam came from the earth, and the production of that which is of the earth, would eventuate in death.  The cursedness of death's sting, has many symptoms as seen in a large section in Deuteronomy 28.  But no matter which of the many described symptoms are manifested, any one of them or all, reveals sin's sting of death working within all of mankind, Jew or Gentile.  The cursedness of sin ends in death.  The unseen spiritual seed of sin is planted in the soil of the earth, and that which is of the earth shall reap sin's death which is of the earthly soil.  However, from before the foundation of the world, the Eternal Lord God of Eternity predestined His own Lamb to become the True Bread of heaven and to come to the earth being born the Son of Adam/Man and pay for the sin and death of Adam and all of his genetic seed.  The Gift of God is IN the Spiritual Seed of the One Righteous Man, and whosoever believes IN Faith IN the Bread of LIFE and follows Jesus Christ, the One Spiritual Seed of Righteousness, then they shall reap the abundance of the Spirit of LIFE that is IN the Risen Christ of God.

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

* 1 There is therefore  now  no  condemnation  to them which are in  Christ  Jesus who walk  not  after   the flesh,  but  after  the Spirit.

Paul's death warning in verse 6  is absolutely true for the carnal mind set on one's self.  But contrary to man's carnality in self, the righteous spiritual mind seeks after the Peace and LIFE of Yahweh God through His only begotten Son, Yeshua haMashiach.  The mind of Man is full of its own opinions, and of course the individual's own opinion is the only right one according to his opinionated mind.  It seems to be clear that man, male or female, can make their own choice to be carnally minded or spiritually minded.  In either choice, the mind of man is spiritual, and the spirit of the mind of man determines the directional flow of the man, whether it is for evil or good.  Man's opinionated mind only brings confusion in discerning a distinction between the 'mind of man and the spirit' of man.  But the One Mind of Yahweh's Spirit is Eternally TRUTH and Righteousness: For, to have a carnal mind, set on earthly things, is death; but to have a spiritual Mind, set on heavenly things, is Life and Peace. The One Mind of Yahweh God is One Spirit of LIFE IN Jesus Christ and that LIFE is Peace IN the Holy Spirit of Yahweh God Almighty.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against [Yahweh] God: for it is not subject to the Law of God (IN LOVE), neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are [live] in the flesh cannot please [Yahweh] God.

But be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that you put on the new man, which after [Yahweh] God is created [to make habitable] in [for] His Righteousness and True Holiness.

 

Romans 8 verse 9

But 'if ' the Spirit [Mind] of Christ dwells IN you, 'then' your body is to be seen [and treated] as dead because of sins [ultimate] corruption of the flesh, but the Spirit of [Yahweh] God is LIFE IN Christ because of the Righteousness of Christ Jesus. Now 'if' the Spirit of [Yahweh] God that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells IN you, 'then' Almighty God, Who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive IN the Body of Christ, through His Holy Spirit of LIFE Who dwells IN those of you, who abide IN Christ. (See God's conditions in Romans 8 verse 7 thru 14.)

If one is living in Christ Jesus then the person is doing the prescribed things of the Spirit of Yahweh God Almighty.

Romans 8 verse 28-29

28 For we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the Image of His Son, that He might be among the first born of many brethren.

Yahweh God is Infinite and knows all things from the beginning of His creation of time until the end of time.

Romans 8 verse 35-

Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword.
36 as it is written:
for THY Sake, we are killed all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors Through HIM (Jesus Christ) Who loved us

Romans 8 verse 35

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the Love of God that Is IN Christ Jesus our Lord. (See Romans 8 verse 35 thru 39.)

Therefore, with our continuing investigation of Romans, we draw your attention again to the beginning of Chapter 8 and its link to the 38th verse of Chapter 8. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, not angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the Love of Yahweh God, which is IN Christ Jesus. We see together  that the TRUTH of [Yahweh] God is emphasized with the small English word IN, for it is  'IN Christ' that a person shall see Salvation LIFE. Make no mistake, there is one exclusive caveat. Apart from the LIFE of Christ, there is no Life for mankind.  Salvation's LIFE is given to those who will abide faithfully IN Christ Jesus.  For if a person is to see the LIFE of Yahweh God, then one must live 'IN in good order, with IN Christ Jesus', the Lord our Righteousness:

Galatians 6 verse 7-8

Be not deceived! Yahweh God is not mocked: For whatsoever a person sows that shall they reap.  For the person that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption: But he that sows to the Spirit, shall of  Yahweh God's Spirit reap LIFE Everlasting.

Therefore, Be careful to see that you are IN side Christ Jesus, for the Eternal Love of God Almighty freely abides IN His Only Begotten Son.  Only those who abide with  IN the Love of God that is revealed IN His Son, are made to be more than conquers through the Love of Yahweh God that is IN Christ Jesus.  Nothing shall separate the living members who abide IN the Living Body of Christ from the Love of Yahweh God that Eternally abides with His Spirit of LOVE IN Christ Jesus.  It is impossible for the darkness of Death to abide IN the Presence of the LIGHT of Yahweh the God of the Living.   Therefore it is impossible for renegade sin that is death, to abide IN the LOVE OF GOD that is IN the Man Christ Jesus, the Only Begotten Son of God, Who overcame the flesh of MAN/Adam, and the sin that produces death in the world.

Romans 9 For you are not to trust in your flesh, but trust IN God's Spirit, 'if' ' so be that the Spirit of [Yahweh] God dwells IN you.  Now 'if ' any person has not the Spirit of Christ, 'then ' that person does not belong to Holy [Yahweh] God.

Follow with understanding the Conditional statement in verse 9 :

'If' ' so be that the Spirit of God dwells IN you.  Now 'if ' any person has not the Spirit of Christ, 'then ' that person does not belong to Holy God. This is a conditional statement that off sets verse 37 through 39 in this 8th chapter.  I'm sure you have heard the axiom "actions speak louder than words."  Words without actions lack the impact of true conviction that moves one to action.

In Matthew 21 the Lord Jesus questions the chief priest and elders that were trying His Words:

28 But what do you think,? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

29 The son answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.

30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And the second son answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

31 Which of the two son's did the will of his father?

(John 3 verse 16.) 

For [Yahweh] God so Loved the world that He gave His Only begotten Son so that whosoever believes IN Him [Jesus/Yeshua] should not perish [in unrighteousness] but have Everlasting LIFE.

Beloved, let us Love one another, for Love is of [Yahweh] God, and every one that LOVES as [Yahweh] God LOVES, is born of God, and knows [Yahweh] God.  He that does not Love, does not know [Yahweh] God, for God is LOVE, and those that abide IN the LOVE of [Yahweh] God, LIVE IN Him, and [Yahweh] God IN them.  For as [Yahweh] God is LOVE, so are we [to be His LOVE] IN this world.  We Love Him because He first Loved us.  If a man says he loves [Yahweh] God and yet hates his brother, he is a liar. (See 1st John 4 verse 16 thru 20.) Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ of [Yahweh] God, is born of [Yahweh] God, for every one that Loves YAHWEH Father God, Who begot His Only Begotten Son, Loves Jesus Christ, and also those who are begotten [born] of Christ. By this, we know that we love the children of God, when we Love God and keep His Commandments. (See 1st John 5 verse 1 thru 2.)

The apostle John, through out his 1st epistle, is emphasizing the TRUTH of the WORD of GOD, but at this point, he is warning the people of God, who know the TRUTH of Christ, to remain in the solid TRUTH of the Almighty God, and not listen to the many anti-Christ's who are already in the world.

These things I have written to you concerning them that seduce you.  For who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus Christ is the Son of God [Come IN the Flesh of Adam/Man].  (See 1st John 2 verse 22 thru 26.)

For John, in his letter, will confirm that Yahweh God's Christ, the Jewish Messiah, has come IN the flesh of Man, to redeem many of the sons of Adam and of the Gentiles. (See the TRUTH 1st John 4 verse 1 thru 3.)

The apostle John will finalize his rebuttal against the anti-Christ's with this statement in 1st John chapter 5, that is minus the Johanninine Comma in verse 7.

This is He that came by Water and Blood, even Jesus Christ, not by Water only but by Water and Blood: For [God's Holy] Spirit bears Witness, because God's Spirit is TRUTH. For there are 3 that bear record in the earth: the Spirit, the Water, and the Blood, for these Three are ONE [IN CHRIST]. If we receive the witness of men, the Witness of God is Greater, for this is the Witness that Almighty God has testified of His Son, Jesus Christ. (1st John 5 verse 6 and verse 8 thru 9.)

 FATHER Yahweh GOD'S HOLY  SPIRIT and the TRUTH of His  WORD made Flesh are ONE and the SAME.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please [Yahweh] God.

9 But you are not in the [mind of the] flesh, but in the [Mind of Yahweh God's] Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of [Yahweh] God dwells IN you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, [then]  he is none  of His. [does not belong to Yahweh.]

The Spirit of Yahweh God dwells IN the persons  who faithfully follows the Righteous leading of His Son Yeshua haMashiach.  We are following after the Mind of Christ Jesus that is ONE Spirit with His Father Yahweh God Almighty. 

10 And [But] if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the (our) spirit is alive because of His (Christ) Righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of Him [Yahweh] that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell IN you, He [Yahweh] that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells IN you.

This verse 11 shows by the words "His Spirit" that what is call "The Holy Spirit" is  Yahweh God's Holy Spirit that gives LIFE to the awaiting dead.

 

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after (according to the desires of) the flesh.

13 For if you live after the [mind of the] flesh, you shall die: But if you through the Spirit [of Yahweh God] do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God [Yahweh], they are the sons of God.

15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear: But you have received [Yahweh] God's Spirit of Adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16 The Spirit itself [Himself] bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of [Yahweh] God:

17 And if we are children, then heirs; heirs of God [Yahweh], and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him [Christ], that we may be also glorified together.

Following verse 16 we see that verse 17 presents 2 conditional statements, predicated on the witness of [Yahweh God's Spirit.  IF we are children then we are heirs of [Yahweh] God, and joint heirs with Christ.  Now If we are joint heirs with Christ then we will also suffer with Christ. Consider this last conditional statement, for it sets up another aspect of the condition being fulfilled.  IF so be that we suffer with Him, then we will also be 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.

The Glory that will be revealed in us shall be the LIFE of Jesus Christ IN Yahweh Lord God Almighty.

19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of [Yahweh] God.

20 For the creature of man was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him Who has subjected the same creature of man in hope,

If given a choice that we can finalize in our minds, then none of us would wish to be subjects of our own sinful vanity of death. For our Holy God Almighty has given mankind freewill in the mind which allows us to investigate the vanity of our person, and in our perceived failures, man will seek a reason to hope for relief. In His Wisdom and Justice Yahweh God Almighty has provided His WAY of LIFE in the crucifixion death of the sinless Perfect Son of Man/Adam:  For Yahweh God's Lamb was given to us to be the sins of the world, but IN Yahweh's Righteousness, He raised the innocent Son of Man, Christ Jesus to the LIFE of the Eternal.

21 Because the creature of man also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption [sin and death] into the glorious liberty of the children of [Yahweh] God.

22 For we know that the whole creation of mankind groans and travails in pain [from sin and death] together, even until now.

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit [of Yahweh God], for even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body from sin and death.

The First fruit is the the risen Christ of Yahweh God, and Christ bears within Himself Yahweh God's Spirit of LIFE  to be conceived as the first fruits of the waiting Hebrew believers at Shuvout [Pentecost].

24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for [what he can see]?

25 But if we hope for that we do not see, then do we with patience wait for it [unseen hope].

26 Likewise the Spirit [of Yahweh God] also helps our infirmities: For we know not what we should pray for as we ought: But the Spirit itself [Himself] makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And He that searches the hearts knows what is the Mind of the Spirit [of Yahweh God], because He [Yeshua/Jesus] makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. [Yahweh] God is One Spirit.

We see that the Scriptures Speaks of the Mind of the Spirit, then we should logically conclude that our minds also generate the spirit of our thoughts with in us.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love [Yahweh] God, to them who are the called according to His [Yahweh's] purpose.

There are many conditional statements in the course of Paul's writings in His letter to the Romans.

Romans 8 verse 17 And IF we are children, then heirs; heirs of [Yahweh] God , and joint-heirs with Christ; IF so be that we suffer with Him [Christ], that we may be also glorified together.

Behold the goodness and severity of [Yahweh] God.  On them which fell His severity; but toward you, His goodness, IF you continue in His goodness, otherwise you also shall be cut off in unbelief. (See Romans 11 verse 19 thru 22.)

29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He [His Son] might be the First Born among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified.

31 What shall we then say to these things? If [Yahweh] God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not His Own Son, but delivered Him up for all of us sinners, how shall He [Yahweh] not with Him [Christ Jesus] also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of [Yahweh] God's elect? It is [Yahweh] God Who justifies [by our Faith IN Christ Jesus].

34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the Right Hand of [Yahweh] God [His Father Who Justifies], [There Christ] also makes 'intercession' for us.

In that the Man, Christ Jesus, is risen from the dead by the Power of Yahweh God, then Jesus Christ is LIFE IN the Spirit of His Holy Father and has been given LIFE'S Power to make intercession for the dead in sin.

"This is My Blood of the New Covenant shed for many for the remission of sin."

35 Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written: For Thy Sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

First century Paul did not have definitive markings in Scripture to point the way for the reader to find his substantiating Scripture.  There is no specific address to mark Paul's referenced Scripture, thus 'it is written'.  That which is written, in this case, is referencing Isaiah 53 verse 10 thru 12.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him [Yahweh]God that Loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the Love of [Yahweh] God, which is 'IN' Christ Jesus our Lord.

I AM the WAY, I AM the TRUTH and I AM the LIFE of men;: No one comes to the Father except by Me.

Please be careful in following the WAY of Christ, for we note in the above Scripture that the Love of Yahweh God is IN Christ Jesus.  Now if Yahweh God's Love is IN Christ Jesus then we need to be IN the Love of Yahweh God, Who LOVES His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and My sheep follow Me. If any man will come after Me, then let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. I and My Father are One. 

If one falls dead along the wayside, then remember that the LIFE is in the Blood of the innocent Lamb slain from before the foundation of the World:

"Take and Drink, for this is MY LIFE in the New Covenant that is shed for many for the remission of sin."

I say the TRUTH IN Christ, I lie not.  My conscience bearing me witness in [Yahweh God's Sprit] the Holy Spirit.
