Messiah in the Bible

But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah died for us while we were still sinners.

Not only that, but we also continue to boast about God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah, through whom we have now been reconciled.

But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!

For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man's offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah!

so that, just as sin ruled by bringing death, so also grace might rule by bringing justification that results in eternal life through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord.

Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into union with the Messiah Jesus were baptized into his death?

Therefore, through baptism we were buried with him into his death so that, just as the Messiah was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too may live an entirely new life.

Now if we have died with the Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him,

for we know that the Messiah, who was raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

In the same way, you too must continuously consider yourselves dead as far as sin is concerned, but living for God through the Messiah Jesus.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with the Messiah Jesus our Lord.

Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the crucified body of the Messiah, so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—that we may bear fruit for God.

Thank God through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, because with my mind I myself can serve the Law of God, even while with my human nature I serve the law of sin.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with the Messiah Jesus.

For the Spirit's law of life in the Messiah Jesus has set me free from the Law of sin and death.

You, however, are not under the control of the human nature but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of the Messiah, he does not belong to him.

But if the Messiah is in you, your bodies are dead due to sin, but the spirit is alive due to righteousness.

And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then the one who raised the Messiah from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.

Now if we are children, we are heirs heirs of God and co-heirs with the Messiah if, in fact, we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Who is the one to condemn? It is the Messiah Jesus who is interceding on our behalf. He died, and more importantly, has been raised and is seated at the right hand of God.

Who will separate us from the Messiah's love? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or a violent death do this?

nor anything above, nor anything below, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is ours in union with the Messiah Jesus, our Lord.

I am telling the truth because I belong to the Messiah I am not lying, and my conscience confirms it by means of the Holy Spirit.

For I could almost wish to be cursed and cut off from the Messiah for the benefit of my brothers, my own flesh and blood.

The ancestors are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Messiah, who is God over all, praised forever. Amen.

For the Messiah is the culmination of the Law as far as righteousness is concerned for everyone who believes.

But the righteousness that comes from faith says, "Do not say in your heart, "Who will go up to heaven?' (that is, to bring the Messiah down),

or "Who will go down into the depths?' (that is, to bring the Messiah back from the dead)."

Consequently, faith results from listening, and listening results through the word of the Messiah.

In the same way, even though we are many people, we are one body in the Messiah and individual parts connected to each other.

Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and do not obey your flesh and its desires.

For this reason the Messiah died and returned to life, so that he might become the Lord of both the dead and the living.

For if your brother is being hurt by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not destroy the person for whom the Messiah died by what you eat.

For the person who serves the Messiah in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.

For even the Messiah did not please Himself. On the contrary, as it is written, The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.

Now may God, the source of endurance and encouragement, allow you to live in harmony with each other as you follow the Messiah Jesus,

so that with one mind and one voice you might glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

Therefore accept one another, just as the Messiah also accepted you, to the glory of God.

For I tell you that the Messiah became a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God's truth in order to confirm the promises given to our ancestors,

to be a minister of the Messiah Jesus to the gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering brought by gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, in the Messiah Jesus I have the right to boast about my work for God.

For I am bold enough to tell you only about what the Messiah has accomplished through me in bringing gentiles to obedience. By my words and actions,

by the power of miraculous signs and wonders, and by the power of God’s Spirit. As a result, I have fully proclaimed the good news about the Messiah from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum.

My one ambition is to proclaim the gospel where the name of the Messiah is not known, so I don't build on someone else's foundation.

And I know that when I come to you I will come with the full blessing of the Messiah.

Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and by the love that the Spirit produces, to join me in my struggle, earnestly praying to God for me

Greet Prisca and Aquila, who work with me for the Messiah Jesus,

Greet also the church in their house. Greet my dear friend Epaenetus, who was the first convert to the Messiah in Asia.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who are in prison with me and are prominent among the apostles. They belonged to the Messiah before I did.

Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in the Messiah, and my dear friend Stachys.

Greet Apelles, who has been approved by the Messiah. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus.

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of the Messiah greet you.

because such people are not serving the Messiah our Lord, but their own desires. By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with all of you!

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with all of you!

Now to the one who is able to strengthen you with my gospel and the message that I preach about Jesus, the Messiah, by revealing the secret that was kept hidden from long ago

to the only wise God, through Jesus the Messiah, be glory forever! Amen.

From: Paul, called to be an apostle of the Messiah Jesus by the will of God, and from our brother Sosthenes.

To: God's church in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified by the Messiah Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah their Lord and ours.

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God given you by the Messiah Jesus.

while our testimony about the Messiah has been confirmed among you.

Therefore, you don't lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus the Messiah to be revealed.

He will keep you strong until the end, so that you will be blameless on the Day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son Jesus the Messiah, our Lord.

Brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, I urge all of you to be in agreement and not to have divisions among you, so that you may be perfectly united in your understanding and opinions.

This is what I mean: Each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to the Messiah."

Is the Messiah divided? Paul wasn't crucified for you, was he? You weren't baptized in Paul's name, were you?

For the Messiah did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, not with eloquent wisdom, so the cross of the Messiah won't be emptied of its power.

but we preach the Messiah crucified. He is a stumbling block to Jews and nonsense to gentiles,

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, the Messiah is God's power and God's wisdom.

It is because of God that you are in union with the Messiah Jesus, who for us has become wisdom from God, as well as our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

For while I was with you I resolved to know nothing except Jesus the Messiah, and him crucified.

For "Who has known the mind of the Lord so that he can advise him?" However, we have the mind of the Messiah.

Brothers, I couldn't talk to you as spiritual people but as worldly people, as mere infants in the Messiah.

After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that is Jesus the Messiah.

but you belong to the Messiah, and the Messiah belongs to God.

Think of us as servants of the Messiah and as servant managers entrusted with God's secrets.

We are fools for the Messiah's sake, but you are wise in the Messiah. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.

You may have 10,000 mentors who work for the Messiah, but not many fathers. For in the Messiah Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

That's why I sent Timothy to you. He is my dear and dependable son in the Lord and will help you remember how I live for the Messiah Jesus as I teach everywhere in every church.

Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough, since you are to be free from yeast. For the Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah and by the Spirit of our God.

You know that your bodies belong to the Messiah, don't you? Should I take what belongs to the Messiah and unite them with a prostitute? Certainly not!

For the slave who has been called to belong to the Lord is the Lord's free person. In the same way, the free person who has been called is the Messiah's slave.

yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom everything came into being and for whom we live. And there is only one Lord, Jesus the Messiah, through whom everything came into being and through whom we live.

In that case, the weak brother for whom the Messiah died is ruined by your knowledge.

When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak consciences, you are sinning against the Messiah.

If others enjoy this right over you, don't we have a stronger claim? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we tolerate everything in order not to put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of the Messiah.

To those who do not have the Law, I became like a man who does not have the Law in order to win those who do not have the Law. However, I am not free from God's Law, but I'm subject to the Messiah's law.

and drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from the spiritual rock that went with them. That rock was the Messiah.

The cup of blessing that we bless is our fellowship in the blood of the Messiah, isn't it? The bread that we break is our fellowship in the body of the Messiah, isn't it?

Imitate me, as I do the Messiah.

Now I want you to realize that the Messiah is the head of every man, and man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of the Messiah.

For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, form a single body, so it is with the Messiah.

Now you are the Messiah's body and individual parts of it.

For I passed on to you the most important points that I received: The Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

Now if we preach that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, how can some of you keep claiming there is no resurrection of the dead?

If there is no resurrection of the dead, then the Messiah has not been raised,

and if the Messiah has not been raised, then our message means nothing and your faith means nothing.
