_{Bible Study – Truths – Chosen to Serve – Isaiah 42:1-12 – September 7, 2025}

_{Scripture: Isaiah 42:1-12: FATHER open the Spiritual eyes of all who read this to YOUR TRUTH - JESUS is KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Spiritual Birth in GOD'S Family is YOUR GIFT TO ALL WHO PLACE THEIR FAITH IN JESUS! SO BE IT!}

_{Introduction:}

_{The Servant’s Mission –This scripture was written by the Prophet Isaiah 805 years before the physical birth of JESUS.}

_{When this scripture refers to him, The HIM is JESUS WHO specifically and WILLINGLY fulfilled HIS purpose in GOD’S eternal redemptive plan for all humankind. The first Adam failed, whereas the second Adam (JESUS) fulfilled GOD’S redemptive plan.}

_{This is huge! JESUS was and is the second person in the Trinity. JESUS had to trust GOD for HIM to come to earth to live a 100% human life and be willing to give HIS sinless life in atonement for all sin. JESUS became sin upon the cross to pay, in full, the sin debt demanded by GOD, HIS FATHER. JESUS knew before HE came to earth, how HIS FATHER hated sin, but HE knew HIS FATHER’S love and forgiveness. JESUS trusted HIS FATHER and so can all who place their faith in JESUS WHO opens the way to the very throne room of GOD.}

_{In Hebrews 9:22, we read:}

_{According to the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.}

_{Mission accomplished as confirmed by the crucifixion of JESUS’ upon the cross. JESUS death was confirmed by a Roman soldier by thrusting his spear into the side of JESUS and bodily fluids spilled out. JESUS was truly dead; HE was buried in a borrowed tomb. HIS bodily resurrection was confirmed and evidenced by the empty tomb on the third day after HIS death (our Sunday) by women.}

_{Following the resurrection of JESUS from the physical grave, all Christians celebrate HIS resurrection once a year on Easter. “Up from the grave HE arose – victorious over death when any person places his/her faith in HIS physical life, death, and the bodily resurrection of JESUS on the third day following HIS death upon the cross.}

_{JESUS willingly gave HIS physical life with full and complete confidence in HIS FATHER, GOD, to restore it, which GOD did. This was and is the example to all people who place their faith in JESUS, that the shed blood and physical death of JESUS paid, in full, the sin debt all people owe.}

_{JESUS paid the debt for sin, in full, but every person must willingly accept what JESUS did for him/her to complete the ultimate step of faith by asking JESUS to forgive him/her for all his/her sins. Doing so, opens the door to a person’s innermost being which allows the HOLY SPIRIT/Divine Sperm to unite with the person of  faith to complete the miracle of a person being born Spiritually into GOD’S eternal Family. WOW!!!}

_{Folks that is GOD’S redemptive and eternal plan for ALL people. The decision to be “born-again” Spiritually after your physical birth is your decision to make. It is your choice. It is individual and personal. The question is, how do you choose?}

_{Dear FATHER, I acknowledge I am a sinner and need YOUR forgiveness. I ask YOU to forgive me for all my sins and short comings and make me eternally whole through faith in JESUS and YOUR eternal child through the miracle of being Spiritually “born-again” in my human spirit.}

_{I believe JESUS willing gave HIS sinless life to pay the price, YOU require for all sin, in full, and to prepare my innermost being to receive JESUS as my Savior through the miracle of being born Spiritually. Dear JESUS, I thank YOU for coming into my heart and making me an eternal member of YOUR eternal Family through the miracle of Spiritual birth in GOD’S eternal Family, NEVER to be unborn.}

_{I thank YOU for confirming this salvation miracle with the confirmation of the indwelling Holy Spirit and with One or more Spiritual Gifts to be used to minister as YOU lead and guide.}

_{GOD’S REDEMPTIVE PLAN is for all people to have the opportunity to choose salvation and eternal life through the miracle of Spiritual birth through faith in JESUS and HIS passion. JESUS willingly came to earth to be born human as a baby, living a sinless life. In doing so GOD, JESUS’ Heavenly FATHER, placed all sin upon JESUS to be the eternal acceptable sacrifice for all sin and to destroy the consequence of any sin for all who place their faith in JESUS.}

_{Thus, all people who place their faith and trust in JESUS, are “born-again” in their spirit. JESUS willingly gave HIS life by the shedding of HIS sinless blood upon the cross to pay the sin debt in full. GOD calls various people into HIS service to present JESUS to those who are seeking to be in right relationship with GOD through the miracle of Spiritual Birth through faith in JESUS.}

_{How do we know that JESUS is The Way to GOD?}

_{The Angle Gabriel appeared before the Virgin Mary and told her that she found favor with GOD, and she would conceive JESUS when the Holy Spirit or the Divine Sperm came upon her. The Holy Spirit is vital in GOD’S redemptive plan both in the conception and birth of JESUS and the rebirth of all people Spiritually.}

_{This was and is GOD’S example to all the world and especially to those who place their faith in JESUS, of the power of the Holy Spirit to complete the miracle of Divine conception/Spiritual birth in the lives of all people who place their faith in JESUS and HIS Passion.}

_{Once a person is Spiritually born into GOD’S eternal family, JESUS becomes the advocate for the person Spirit-born into GOD’S Kingdom.}

_{Why do those who are “born-again” need an advocate before GOD? It is because even though a person is “born-again” Spiritually, the “born-again” person still sins, and Satan is the “born-again” person’s tempter, accuser, herald, and discourager. Once “born-again” Satan’s objective is to discourage, defeat and if possible, destroy the witness of that “born-again” believer.}

_{All believers must pray and study GOD’S Word, The Holy Bible, and confess any and all sins as, we, as believers walk with JESUS.}

_{Why? Because Spirit-born people as recorded in Ephesians 6:12}

_{For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens.}

_{The dynamics in our life change but “Spirit-born” people must keep in their minds that as recorded in 1 John 4:4:}

_{You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the one who is in you (THE HOLY SPIRIT) is greater than the one (Satan) who is in the world.}

_{Spirit-born Christians are in warfare and know that they must use the Spiritual weapons GOD provides to fight. These weapons are HIS WORD, fellow Spirit-born believers, prayer, church leaders, and members, quoting GOD’S Word, and confess any unconfessed sin, stand firm, and do what the HOLY Spirit calls to their minds to pray or confess.}

_{What has been written so far may overwhelm some who read this, so I pause to pray for the Spiritual protection of all. In the powerful name of JESUS, I ask YOU, JESUS, to protect all who are seeking or may feel uneasy because Satan wants the person seeking an eternal relationship with GOD through faith in JESUS, to wait. But I urge you to not wait but to Claim the blood of JESUS as your protection. Ask JESUS forgive you for your sins and for HIM to come into your heart now, believing that HE is the true promised Messiah.}

_{The person who places his/her faith in JESUS experiences the miracle of Spiritual birth when the Divine Sperm or Holy Spirit unites with the human spirit to bring completion or eternal Spiritual Birth to the person of faith in JESUS. In doing so, the eternal destination for the “born-again” person, through faith in JESUS, is eternity in Heaven and not to Hell. Hell was made for the Devil and his angels (demons).}

_{The Law was a place holder until JESUS at just the right time willingly came to earth to live a sinless life and shed HIS sinless blood to fulfill the Law and usher in Grace by fulfilling the Law and Prophets. Once grace was established through faith in JESUS and the law fulfilled, the Holy Spirit was freed to enter the human body and unite with the human spirit to accomplish, Spiritual Birth in a person of faith in JESUS.}

_{All people have a choice between Heaven through faith in JESUS or Hell when a person refuses the gift of salvation though faith in JESUS.}

_{GOD provides paths to salvation for the stillborn babies, babies, the mentally challenged, and many others. The bottom line is that neither GOD Nor JESUS desires for any person to go to Hell. The cross upon which JESUS died was and is an obstacle that blocks the door to Hell and opens the door to eternal salvation through faith in JESUS. JESUS is a person’s only way to eternal life through faith in JESUS and HIS Passion.}

_{GOD’S redemptive plan includes all people who accept JESUS as their SAVIOR. Eternal life is open to all people, male, female, or trans who place their faith in JESUS. The passion of JESUS opens the door to salvation for all genders, male, female. All people are chosen but not all choose to accept. All people have the freedom to accept or reject JESUS as his/her Savior.}

_{Those of us who know the truth are commissioned to tell others about this Good News of Salvation as they live and go through everyday life.}

_{The life, death, bodily resurrection, and bodily ascension of JESUS into Heaven is GODS’ proof to all humans that JESUS conquered physical death. Once in Heaven JESUS took HIS seat at the righthand of GOD, HIS FATHER and also the FATHER of all who place their faith in JESUS and experience the miracle of Spiritual Birth or being “Born-again.” Salvation is open to all people.}

_{JESUS is the first fruit from the grave to reveal to all the world that HE conquered both sin and eternal death, as evidenced by HIS eternal, bodily resurrection from the grave on the third day and HIS resurrected bodily ascension into Heaven after living on earth for 40 days following HIS resurrection.}  

_{JESUS came to earth as a human, but HIS Mission was to show all people the way to eternal salvation and eternal life through faith in HIM.}

_{Why? JESUS is our assurance and guarantee of the bodily resurrection of all who place their faith in JESUS. Why? JESUS willingly came from HIS home in Heaven to open the Way to eternal salvation to all who place their faith in HIM. Scripture reveals to us as written by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 5:8 Amplified Bible}

_{8 we are [as I was saying] of good courage and confident hope and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.}

_{The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:2}

_{I know a man in Christ who was caught up to the third heaven fourteen years ago. Whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.}

_{It is believed that this man was The Apostle Paul. The first heaven is where the birds fly and the clouds soar, the second heaven is where the planets, moon, sun, and stars exist, and the third Heaven is where GOD is.}

_{I have a friend who witnessed Heaven when he was pronounced dead while in the hospital following an automobile accident. He was transported to the basement of the hospital for the undertaker to pick up his body. A nurse happened by and saw his eye lid move and she resuscitated him.}

_{I have witnessed a Spirit-born lady walking with JESUS after she died and was walking with JESUS just before entering the gateway into Heaven. (This account is recorded in my blog – actsclass.blogspot.com – on the top left side of the blog is a blank space, type the name Mrs. Green and it should take you to what I witnessed. This is in no way makes me special because I am a sinner saved by GOD’S Grace through faith in JESUS. My Spiritual journey began many years ago as a child.}

_{Why share this? Because our scripture in this study establishes the foundation which GOD laid to reveal the character of the promised Messiah. The Messiah, JESUS, came to fulfill the redemptive plan GOD, HIS FATHER established for all humans. Sin is the barrier which blocks a person’s entry into Heaven. The Ten Commandments were a placeholder until the perfect acceptable sacrifice to GOD, JESUS, was made to obliterate the consequence of sin, which is eternal death and eternity in Hell.}

_{Why did JESUS willingly leave HIS home in Heaven and come to earth to pay for the sins of all people who will place their faith in HIM?}

_{It was HIS love for those who are lost and seek the joy and eternal peace of being eternally born into GOD’S Family.}

_{This is why GOD sent HIS ONLY SON, JESUS, The Second Person in the Trinity come to earth to live a 100% Human life upon earth and WHO was tempted in all ways humans are tempted but JESUS remained without sin. Thus, becoming the perfect acceptable sacrifice to GOD for all sin. JESUS paid in full for the price for sin, but each person must acknowledge that he/she is a sinner and ask JESUS to come into HIS/HER heart and experience the miracle of Spiritual Birth and being GOD’S eternal SON OR DAUGHTER.}

_{A person’s Spiritual Birth takes place quicker than the twinkle of the eye. The Holy Spirit unites with the human spirit, and the person of faith is Spiritually born-again. It is the “born-again” spirit that lives eternally with GOD in Heaven along with other “born-again” believers.}

_{JESUS kept HIS focus upon HIS FATHER as we read in John 5:19-20}

_{Christian Standard Bible}

_{19 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you; the Son is not able to do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[a] does, the Son likewise does these things. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing, and HE will show HIM greater works than these so that you will be amazed.}

_{JESUS was and is in lockstep with GOD HIS FATHER and since the Passion of JESUS, with our FATHER through the miracle of Spiritual Birth through faith in JESUS.}

_{Let’s read Isaiah 42:1-12: GOD reveals The Promised Messiah, JESUS, to the prophet Isaiah -----}

_{The Servant’s Mission - JESUS was Called by GOD. JESUS ACCEPTED HIS FATHER’S CALL. (Isaiah 42 was written by the Prophet Isaiah about the coming of JESUS to earth, GOD’S promised Messiah, some 805 years before JESUS was born. This is about JESUS, The Promised Messiah.)}

_{42 “This is my servant; I strengthen him,} 

_{this is my chosen one; I delight in him.}

_{I have put my Spirit on him;}

_{he will bring justice[a] to the nations.}

_{2 He will not cry out or shout}

_{or make his voice heard in the streets.}

_{3 He will not break a bruised reed,}

_{and he will not put out a smoldering wick;}

_{he will faithfully bring justice.}

_{Life brings many issues, we, as humans, face. Some are bruised and others have at one time burned brightly but life has reduced that bright flame to a smolder. Yet, in both examples, there is still hope although it is diminishing.}

_{As my precious wife has stated, “when you get to the end of your rope what do you do?” “You tie a knot in the rope and hang on trusting in JESUS.” Oh, yes, I am sorry to say that my precious wife had to hang on when I was in the weeds. The key is she did, and I am most grateful she did.}

_{Back to our scripture Isaiah 24:4:}

_{4 He will not grow weak or be discouraged.}

_{until he has established justice on earth.}

_{The coasts and islands will wait for his instruction.”}

_{JESUS had to battle Satan during HIS earthly ministry, and HIS victory was our victory. “Praise to our LORD JESUS, WHO remained faithful to the end. HE had to trust HIS FATHER, GOD, when HE, JESUS, gave up HIS life to pay the sin debt in full by the shedding of HIS sinless blood on the cross for all sin.}

_{Yes, all sin. What does a person have to do to receive GOD’S forgiveness for his/her sins?}

_{Confess that you are a sinner and accept the fact that JESUS paid the price for all sin by the shedding of HIS sinless blood. Why did JESUS have to shed HIS Sinless blood?}

_{It is vital to GOD’S redemptive plan for salvation according to scripture as recorded in Hebrews 9:22}

_{According to the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.}

_{JESUS willingly gave HIS sinless life to redeem all who place their faith in JESUS and HIS passion from the consequence of sin, which is eternal death to experience the miracle of Spiritual Birth, through faith in JESUS and being born Spiritually into the eternal family of GOD to become:}

_{An eternal citizen of Heaven as stated in Philippians 3:20}

_{Our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly wait for a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.}

_{Isaiah 24:}

_{5 This is what God, the Lord, says—}

_{who created the heavens and stretched them out,}

_{who spread out the earth and what comes from it,}

_{who gives breath to the people on it?}

_{and spirit to those who walk on it—}

_{6 “I am the Lord. I have called you}

_{for a righteous purpose, [b]}

_{and I will hold you by your hand.}

_{I will watch over you, and I will appoint you}

_{to be a covenant for the people}

_{and a light to the nations,}

_{7 in order to open blind eyes,}

_{to bring out prisoners from the dungeon,}

_{and those sitting in darkness from the prison house.}

_{8 I am the Lord. That is my name,}

_{and I will not give my glory to another}

_{or my praise to idols.}

_{9 The past events have indeed happened.}

_{Now I declare new events;}

_{I announce them to you before they occur.”}

_{A Song of Praise}

_{10 Sing a new song to the Lord;}

_{sing his praise from the ends of the earth,}

_{you who go down to the sea with all that fills it,}

_{you coasts and islands with your [c] inhabitants.}

_{11 Let the desert and its cities shout,}

_{the settlements where Kedar dwells cry aloud.}

_{Let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy;}

_{let them cry out from the mountaintops.}

_{12 Let them give glory to the Lord}

_{and declare his praise in the coasts and islands.}

_{May all the people of the world rejoice because when JESUS comes the end is in sight. So, all who read this ask JESUS to forgive you for your sins and ask JESUS to come into life and make you whole.}

_{Since the birth, life and passion of JESUS, The Promised Messiah, JESUS, accomplished GOD’S redemptive plan for all people who will place their faith in HIM.
Eternity is only a breath away. If you have not asked JESUS to forgive you for all your sins and for HIM to come into your heart or the innermost part of your being, or where truth resides, do so now and experience the miracle of being “born-again” Spiritually into GOD’S eternal family.}
