The Benefits of Knowing Jesus Christ
Ps. Abel Phillips

A). Rev 1:8
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,”[a] says the Lord,[b] “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Alpha is the first letter if the Greek alphabet and Omega is the last. So our Lord is the First and Last, He is the Source of all things. He is the source of all truth, of all the promises given in the WOG, of all the prophecies, of all commands and of all penalties. How great is our Lord, who is and who was and who is to come; – The all-inclusive One! Everything is involved in the two words, beginning and ending.
Jesus is the Lord of the Beginning and He is the Lord of the End. He is the end of completeness of our lives.

John 1:1 -In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
Col 1:16 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him
Col 1:17 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

B). Rev 1:18
I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
Hades :– is the unseen world we don’t understand. The souls of people who pass away go into; until Jesus’ time… all souls were controlled by the adversary of the souls and were limited
Death (Two aspects)
i. Physiological death – our body weak / limitation of the human body
ii. Second death - our soul being separated from God

Jesus dies and comes back in the glorious resurrection, and ascends to the Father’s Right hand.
We see the unification once again and the healing power and he has the key over everything that separates, ruins, rejects and isolates us. He holds that Key! He is the healer of all relationship, restorer of the fullness of relationship we hope for.

C). Rev 2:12
“…,‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword:
Eph 6:17 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
Rev 2:16 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

ü People say I don’t like the correcting of the Lord, well of you don’t like the correcting of the L, then you don’t know how much He loves you; because he loves you way too much to leave you in that limited stage.
ü He wants to take out of your life that which diminishes and corrupts you and bring about the whole completeness. That’s why He uses the sharp two-edged sword.
ü Don’t avoid the correcting of the L, because it ultimately produces fruitfulness, and fruitfulness of righteousness.
ü The sharp two-edged sword is a counseling sword that guides and teaches thru WOG.
ü It has the absolute ability to deal with any situation, job, argument, finances, health, relationship etc… you don’t way but the WOG has power. The Word of God is quick and powerful and it gets the job done!
ü You will know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Rom2:4 -4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

So, let’s reap the benefits of the things in stored for us by knowing and receiving JESUS into our lives!
