Pre-Cross – the Four Gospels
Main focus is Jesus’ life on earth – SEEN
Jesus prayed for our Oneness with Him
Recorded the events of Calvary
He was Crucified, Buried, Raised
He Ascended into heaven and seated there
Satan had legal Dominion over earth
Satan lies about God’s nature and motives
Satan steals, kills and destroys
In Adam, Mankind condemned to Hell
Mankind in Darkness at birth
Sinners and unrighteous by nature
Jews under the Mosaic Law
Jews under Law’s heavy yoke Acts 8:10
God seen as distant Judge
The Law demands but cannot help
Constant efforts to earn God’s acceptance
The Gentiles were “lawless”
Mixture of Law and Grace
Stuck here on earth
Under circumstances – in Adam
None born again – all in Adam
Self and sin-centered
The wages of sin is death
Jesus forgave sins to individuals
Constant confession of sins
Reconciliation based on daily sacrifices
Under the curses of Dt. 28
Righteousness required perfect behavior
Perfection is required but impossible
All blessings based on one’s efforts
The Holy Spirit came on some
Mysteries of the Kingdom kept hidden
Jesus foretold coming of the Kingdom
The Law says “You must do.”
The Law says “You have to …”
The Law demands, requires, expects
Kingdom closed to disciples
Blind to the UNSEEN Realm
Disciples’ good works were limited
Disciples followed Christ
Salvation not yet possible
Sinners are incompatible with God
Keeping the Law requires constant effort
Sinners’ efforts produce dead works
Under facts of sickness, and lack
Post-Cross – Jesus Gospel to Paul’s
Main focus is UNSEEN Realm’s benefits
He achieved Jn. 17:21 for Believers
Jesus revealed what He accomplished
The same for Believers in Him – by faith
The same for Believers in Him – by faith

Rebirth offered at Pentecost – In Christ
Selfless and God conscious in Christ
Sinless Jesus became our sin
Jesus’ Death paid for all sin for mankind

Righteousness is a Gift from Jesus
His Perfection is supplied to all Saints
All blessing based on Jesus’ performance
The Holy Spirit inside every true believer
Kingdom Mysteries revealed to the Saints
His Kingdom is Him inside true believers
Jesus declared “It is Finished.” Done!
Now, Saints “get to …”
Jesus fulfills, supplies and completes

The UNSEEN revealed by eyes of Faith
Greater works than Jesus now possible
Believer is In Christ and He is in him
Jesus, the Door, opened the veil to Heaven
Believers now one in spirit with God
Believers now Rest in Jesus’ Finished W.
The Spirit of Life produces His Fruit in us
Believer trumps the facts with the Truth
life, that is, Jesus himself.
