Isaiah 43:19 English Standard Version (ESV) Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

At the time that Isaiah word these words the things which came into being after the life, death, resurrection and rule of our Lord, had never been done before. We that live in this church age are doing the will of God in a new way. That is not to say that God has changed His mind, His plans, His will, or His Words. He remains the same forever and this new thing was in His plans from the beginning.

There is within all of us a process of discovery which happens when we see the light of truth on something new to us. How we deal with that vision is based upon our own character and influences. We are not yet perfected and we must be careful about how we express what we see in thinking this is new instructions, new interpretations, and something other than what God has already performed. We must not create new doctrine, new teachings that are not consistent with what God has already said and done.

Revelation 22:16-21 English Standard Version

¹⁶ “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

¹⁷ The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

¹⁸ I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, ¹⁹ and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

There are no new doctrines.

Hebrews 12:2 English Standard Version (ESV) looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Perhaps the most obvious to see in “It is finished” is that the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ is over. Once He had accomplished all that needed to be done in service to the will of His Father then His role changed from servant to ruler.

It should also be noted that since we still live in Christ and He in us, this perfection of faith is an ongoing process which He accomplishes from a seated position as the Lord of our lives. If we have not accepted Him as the Lord of our lives that perfection of faith is awaiting our submission to His Lordship.

This is important to understand that the life Jesus lived in His ministry was an example of how God acts in life and how He loves all that suffer. That was an example and all He said is true but now that He sits on the throne of heaven, His commands come from that authority as the Lord of our lives now.

All that we learn from these scriptures teach us about the character of God in the person of Jesus Christ but the commandments are being given to serve His will from the throne of God. This is why it is so important to hear and see by faith in the presence of the Holy Spirit in us now. To bring into remembrance all that the Lord has said is a matter understanding that while all that needed to be said is contained in the scriptures, the remembrances are to be stirred up in us by the Holy Spirit.

Obedience of faith is a cooperative effort based on the will of God being transmitted to us by the third person of God at the moment we need to hear it in order to act on those commands in a timely manner.
