The Quickening of the Jewish Faith & Jesus

1 Corinthians 15:45
So it is written [in Scripture], “The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL (an individual);” the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving spirit [restoring the dead to life].

Praise the LORD, Saints,
You know, before we developed a relationship with Jesus, we were dead.  I know I was.  No wind, nothing!  Maybe a couple of Ghoos-bums every now and then, but that was it.  One day out of nowhere, suddenly a quickening of light, fresh wind came along.  Just as the following Psalm 119:25, 50 shares: 119: 25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. 119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.  Jesus didn't come to abolish the law, but to fulfill (Matthew 5:17) with grace and truth (John 1:17).  You know there's an end to all perfection.  

Psalm 119:96 tells us:
I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceedingly broad and extends without limits [into eternity].

Saints,
Nothing makes sense, nor adds up, but what is exceedingly broad is the commandment of love (Romans 13:10).  The Jewish faith is our foundation and with the quickening of the Word - you just get too excited and want to tell everyone the Good News!  I get excited more now than ever for the simple understanding of the power of charity!  Seed-faith = harvest = Genesis 8:22 = Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 = James 2:14-26.

In closing,
Sadly, the following passage talks about covetousness of the Pharisees [Luke 16:14] (not Jewish Romans 2:28-29) who studied God's Word (Matthew 23) but didn't want to share.  So, the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.  May a conviction come upon them as it did to the Apostle Paul.

1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 (KJV)
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: 15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: 16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

Psalm 119:36
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
