Passover, the Law of Freedom

None of the sixty-six books of the Bible are the individual opinions or philosophies of the prophets; rather, they are the records of God’s teachings given for the salvation of mankind. With the hope of salvation, we should firmly believe this and diligently study the word of God.

The Bible refers to our Mother, Jerusalem, as the “free woman.” Furthermore, it says that we are no longer slaves to sin but have been set free by Christ (Gal 4:26; Jn 8:32–36). As we believe in God the Father and God the Mother who are free, we too, as Their children, are free. Now, let us take some time to study the Bible and give thanks to God for granting us eternal freedom through the Passover of the New Covenant—the law of freedom.

Mankind Is a Slave to Sin and Death

Christ came to earth with the purpose of saving all mankind (Lk 19:10). In the Bible, salvation means freedom from sin. We were all slaves to sin and death before being redeemed and set free by God’s grace.

So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin. Ro 7:21–25

As the Apostle Paul mentioned, humans are prisoners of sin. He lamented, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?” This verse expresses how pitiful man’s life is; though everyone wants to be free, they are bound by the chains of sin and death until the end.

However, since the law of death exists, there must also be a law of life.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. Ro 8:1–2

Christ came to earth and gave the law of the Spirit of life to emancipate people who were living wretched lives under the law of sin and death. Let us learn about the law of the Spirit of life that Christ Himself established.

The Passover, the Law of Life Established Through the Blood of Christ

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace[.] Eph 1:7

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 1 Pe 1:18–19

The Bible says that we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins, through the precious blood of Christ. We need the blood of Christ to live as people who have been set free from the spiritual slavery of sin. Without receiving Christ’s blood, no one can be set free from the chains of sin and death.

Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.” Jn 6:53–55

Having no life means being under the captivity of death. Those who do not eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood have no life in them. Since the wages of sin is death (Ro 6:23), only when we receive the forgiveness of sins can we be freed from the chains of death and have eternal life.

Jesus’ flesh and blood that gives eternal life is given through the Passover.

. . . He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’ ” So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. . . . Mt 26:17–28

The precious blood of Christ, which destroys the law of sin and death, refers to the New Covenant Passover established by Christ. The greatest gift from God to mankind is the law of life—the Passover—which enables us to have the forgiveness of sins through the flesh and blood of Christ.

Heavenly Father and Mother Have Brought the Law of Freedom

As the Apostle Paul said, we are wretched people who are unable to rescue ourselves from the body of death. For this reason, we desperately need someone to save us. Who can rescue us from the body of death?

Only God has the authority to forgive sins and swallow up death. So, God Himself came down to earth to redeem mankind from eternal death and lead them to the path of salvation.

On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine—the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The LORD has spoken. In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” Isa 25:6–9

The law of God that has power to forgive our sins is the Passover of the New Covenant; it is the law of the Spirit of life—the law of freedom. According to this prophecy, the One who destroys sin and death forever through the bread of life and aged wine of the Passover is surely our God and Savior.

As prophesied, God came with the law of freedom to save mankind. In this prophetic age, God the Father came to earth and restored the truth of the Passover, which had not been observed for a long time. Through the Passover of the New Covenant, God the Mother, who sets Her children free from the law of sin and death, is revealed. The book of Revelation depicts the scene where the Spirit and the Bride are inviting all people to come and take the free gift of the water of life (Rev 22:17). This is because the Spirit and the Bride, Heavenly Father and Mother, can set all people free through the truth of life—the New Covenant.

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written: “Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.” Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does the Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.” Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. Gal 4:26–31

Without our Mother who is free, we cannot become the children of promise like Isaac. We, who have returned into the arms of Jerusalem Mother, should understand what true freedom is and correctly recognize and receive our Heavenly Mother. The Bible describes freedom as being released from sin; it also teaches that those who are not bound by the law of sin and death are free. We are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman, because Father and Mother have brought the truth of life—the New Covenant—to set us free from sin and death, leading us on the path of salvation.

Through the New Covenant, we have become God’s children of promise. In Abraham’s family, Isaac became the heir of Abraham, because he was born of Sarah, the free woman. Isaac was able to inherit Abraham’s estate because his father and mother were free. Likewise, we have been set free and can receive the glorious blessing to inherit the Kingdom of God, because our Heavenly Father and Mother are free.

We Become God’s Heirs Through the Passover

Neither Eliezer who was a slave nor Ishmael who was born of a slave woman could inherit Abraham’s estate. This history from the Old Testament is a prophecy; those who are slaves to sin and death can never inherit the Kingdom of God. So, God has granted us freedom through the Passover of the New Covenant and commanded us to never become slaves to sin and death again.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1

In ancient Egypt, when the Israelites yearned for freedom, God sent the prophet Moses and allowed them to celebrate the Passover. Prior to keeping the Passover, they were slaves, but after they celebrated the Passover, they were set free.

This history is a shadow showing that mankind can be freed from the slavery of sin and death through the New Covenant Passover. We were once slaves, bound by the chains of sin and death. However, after celebrating the Passover of the New Covenant established by God, we are now granted the forgiveness of sins and eternal freedom.

Through the New Covenant—the law of freedom, we have thrown off the yoke of slavery and become God’s children who have His flesh and blood. God Himself testifies to this fact.

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Ro 8:16–17

God acknowledges those who keep the New Covenant as His children. Nowadays, people can find their biological parents or children through DNA testing. Likewise, God distinguishes His children by examining whether or not Their flesh and blood is in them. Since we have received God’s holy flesh and blood through the Passover, we can call God our Father and Mother.

God established the precious law of the Passover to allow mankind to inherit God’s DNA. Jesus eagerly desired to eat the Passover because only God’s children who partake of the Passover bread and wine—Jesus’ flesh and blood—can be forgiven, receive eternal life, and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Setting Mankind Free From the Chains of Sin and Death

In the Bible, the remnant who will be saved are referred to as God’s seed. In other words, God will save those who resemble Him; they are the children of promise whom He has set apart.

Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be saved. For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality.” It is just as Isaiah said previously: “Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants [seed, KJV], we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.” Ro 9:27–29

Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring [seed, KJV] will be reckoned.” In other words, it is not the natural children who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring. . . . Ro 9:7–13

Unlike Eliezer and Ishmael, Isaac was regarded as Abraham’s seed because his father and mother were both free. We, too, can become the children of promise like Isaac and be acknowledged as God’s seed because our Heavenly Father and Mother are free.

By God’s grace, we have been set free from the chains of sin and death and received eternal life through the Passover of the New Covenant. Since we are free, we should proclaim freedom to those who are still bound by the law of sin and death. The prophetic time has come for the truth of life—the Passover—to be opened after 1,600 years, and it is now being preached to all regions, countries, and continents throughout the world. We must firmly believe the prophecy that the gospel of the kingdom will be preached to all nations. Let us preach the Passover of the New Covenant, the law of freedom, to as many souls as possible. I earnestly ask all of you to become the children of promise, who can open wide the way of salvation and eternal life for all mankind through the grace of God.
