Since it reveals Christ as a new generation, the 42nd generation. This is explained, in several ways, in the New Testament. **Jesus is a generation** **Christ is a new generation** Do you understand it this way too? Does this fit in your understanding? Let's clarify it better. ## The genealogy of Jesus Christ Curiously, the New Testament begins with the genealogy of Jesus Christ, in [**Mt 1**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/ara/mt/1/1-17?ref=amemamem.com.br), mentioning 42 generations: 14+14+14\. However, we find only 41 generations when we list them all. So, would this be a mistake? Or have we been looking at it the wrong way and need revelation to understand? Let's see the complete list: This is how we read it ## ![](https://amemamem.com.br/content/images/2024/12/41-geracoes.png) But this is how it is written ![](https://amemamem.com.br/content/images/2024/12/42-geracoes.png) Paul revealed this mystery several times in his letters, but we have read and understood them based on the teaching of traditions. Consequently, these are things we learned and repeat mechanically, as [Jesus warned](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/mt/15/8,9?ref=amemamem.com.br): “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. In vain they worship me; their teachings are nothing but rules taught by men”. Here is the revelation, smothered by the teachings of traditions. **Therefore, let all Israel be assured of this: This Jesus, whom you crucified, God made Lord and Christ. [Acts 2](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/atos/2/36?ref=amemamem.com.br)** ### Two gospels Understanding the word of God from this perspective also allows us to see the difference between the two gospels: **Jesus and the Gospel of the Kingdom of God** **Paul and the Gospel of Christ** Do you notice that they taught many things, but preached different gospels? And that the gospels complement each other? Let's see this very briefly. ### Jesus and the Gospel of the Kingdom of God The **Gospel of the Kingdom of God,** announced by Jesus Christ, is completed with the **sending of the Holy Spirit**. In this way it becomes easier to understand better: Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus about being born again, now as children of God, by the Spirit **[John 3](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/jo/3/1-8?ref=amemamem.com.br)** , And, as children of God, being set free from the Evil One [**John 8**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/jo/8/36?ref=amemamem.com.br) Jesus said he would send the Holy Spirit and that the Spirit would continue his work. Then he tells them to wait to receive the power of the Holy Spirit. [**John 16**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/jo/16/7-14?ref=amemamem.com.br) [**Acts 1**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/atos/1/8?ref=amemamem.com.br) ### Paul and the Gospel of Christ The **Gospel of Christ**, announced by Paul, speaks of the action of the Holy Spirit **so that Christ may be formed in us, as a new generation.** He speaks of this as a mystery hidden for a long time and now revealed [**Col 1**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/cl/1/26,27?ref=amemamem.com.br) He also says that in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge [**Col 2**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/cl/2/2,3?ref=amemamem.com.br) Because the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God [**1 Cor 2**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/1co/2/10?ref=amemamem.com.br) The Spirit enables us to go on and grants us gifts of power to walk, as promised and fulfilled by Jesus [**1 Cor 12**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/1co/12/4-11?ref=amemamem.com.br) And he speaks of his suffering, until Christ is formed in us [**Gal 4**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/gl/4/19?ref=amemamem.com.br) **Because it is the Spirit of God who makes us children of God, like Jesus Christ [Rom 8](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/rm/8/14-16?ref=amemamem.com.br)** ### Being deceived by the Word of God Jesus answered: “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God!” **[Mt 23](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/mt/22/29?ref=amemamem.com.br)** We have walked deceived by traditional theology, by disregarding the power of God, through the Holy Spirit. After all, how did the serpent tempt Eve? Was it not with the word of God? And later, how were the religious people of Jesus' time deceived? Was it not with the Law, the word of God? In the same way, how did the devil tempt Jesus? Was it not by using the word of God? So notice that he always brought the fight to the field of the natural man, deceiving the children of God with the word of God. That is why he keeps the same strategy as always. And today, how is it?

[**1 Cor 3**](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/1co/3/16?ref=amemamem.com.br) **The same Christ, the new generation who was formed in the human being Jesus, is to be formed in us**.
