What The World Needs Is Jesus! Just A Glimpse Of Him! Christ The Lord Is Risen Today!


(Wednesday, April 11, 2012 With April 25, 2013 Update)


In scripture particularly their in a Book called Isaiah God invites us to drink with Him by relationship fellowship and wrote: "Ho, every one that thirsts, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.s3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.5 Behold, thou will call a nation that thou knows not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. 6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord.9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the one who sows, and bread to the eater:11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off." Isaiah 55. Petra and Hallelujah Praise The Lord. <<<___----click
The Gospel: Coming To Christ. How Would You Like To And Be Introduced to God And/Or Feel Up To Fully And "Good To Go" (in terms of logo therapy by Victor Frankyl just this phrase,) To Being An Intimate Friend Of God And Live An Abundant Life In Christ From God Starting Over Again In This Life Born Again In The Preparation For And Expectation Of A Ticket To Utopia/Paradise: Called Heaven? Heaven is a wonderful haven. If so, How do you know how, or even do you know prematurely at all that He loves you? Do you know God's perfect love involves wondrous actions and/or grace and that He strongly with might loves you and that by faith is access to Him and through grace because salvation involves discipleship in hearing the words of Jesus Who is Living Word and obeying them? To be wholly and completely saved and genuine is to keep Jesus Lord obediently while being kept. Do you know it is by grace that we or anyone knows to what extent God went Through in personal suffering to show through His attitude to-the-cross action in Christ, love on us His mankind: this wonderful lavish almighty unconditional personally edifying individually lavishly-sending godly silent but abounding Agape quality of love? Please read your Bible. I john 4:7 says, "God is love!" It's God's Word of truth to us. Open it up and hear the gentle flow of words. God wrote the Bible through Anointed men by His Voice the gentle Holy Spirit. You won’t find the Autographs or original writings anywhere but do obtain a good uptodate translation in today's language. Only the Autographs are inspired though in the original Greek and Hebrew. But many versions are good vicariously with no change not even a jot or tittle or an iota of difference before they started translating from the early manuscripts. How good a version and translation is up to the reader's discernment and The Holy Spirit. There is one meaning to all scripture and that is Agape love interpreted correctly. Jesus is God's love incarnated incarcerated that we might be born again. He didn't swoon. He lived, Died, and arose. Jesus lives and is Alive! Do you believe God would call His Son the Resurrection and the Life? Having the Only Begotten sent by God the Father and beginning to like too to personally treat you through Jesus, like He favored highly His Only Begotten Son, through relationship and, not by externals alone (which is like plastic religion,)  and instead treat you to all over again liking you fantastic and phenomenally with favor which is to find you (as He did Abraham, Moses, or the Apostle Paul) and give you such an abundant and spiritual life now as they had on earth and in Heaven as they obtained? For all mankind has fallen and will fall but for a saved relationship with their Creator God. For God is a personal God and the love for God in people I spoke of honored Him in a personal way and/or a devout faith. God wants a personal relationship with you of knowing of you. We are not talking abundance of things reciprocity zed here but of the heart, devout, and in the little crevices. God is no respecter of persons. He will reward anybody having faith. (See James and Hebrews 11:1, 6.) Do you want faith? And faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. What's seen is temporal. What's unseen is Eternal. II Corinthians. God wants our life and specially our heart  allegience/availability. He wants us. In relationship With Him and in fellowship restored strong specially walking with Jesus, attending Church (hint, here is mine: Bethel of Franklin Square, NY, 194 Courthouse Road, 516-326-3215,) there is joy and I'm enjoying everyone’s hospitality and within each one's personal space! God said through Christ, "love The Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength." And to, "love your neighbor as yourself." On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets, Jesus mentioned. A wise man, a professor in Bible College Walter Beuttler, has said that in order for God to do something for us, He has to do something with us, so that He can do something to us! God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ not countng men's sins against themselves but reconciling the world to Himself. God gives us the faith to believe that which is a measured dole of faith to each of us a part of mankind and it is a gift of faith from Him with which we can individually evangelically respond to God's offer of relationship! It must be real and kept sincere talented this gift because it is free but not something earned but must not be taken but received with relish also to be benefitted from nonetheless. Do you have His Gift of Salvation and do you recognize He gives you faith to believe, which faith is access through grace in the Finished Work of the Lord and relationship that He loves you unconditionally and unconditionally you believing in Him as Source obey Him? To follow Christ obeying His sayings with obedience is obeying Christ your All in all after getting saved. For He is Help like beholding in a mirror to see the unique person you are and were meant to become. We deny ourself and take up or cross and follow Him! There's no imperitive like obeying seeing for yourself our Lord's commands! Christ within is that mystery of relationship with God I mean to tell. What would it take for you to show faith towards Jehovah God? Would you need a breakthrough if you risked high stakes lavishly to get to Him by your faith? YES, Oh How He loves you greatly in the Son. Whether by poverty of spirit or absense of energy comng to the end of yourself to find Him is enormously wise. The Son is the Only Begotten Jesus Christ. Do you have an object to your faith?  Because it matters that the object of faith is God in Christ Jesus Who is saving, and Christ's Atonement makes peace through the work on the cross of a start of Eternal life for us based on Who God is. Based on true knowledge of Christ by spending time with Him, The death to self and Cross-life of Jesus before and at His Death, meaning His Blood shed: it is to our breakthrough to make a faith's decision to believe God to save us from sin which is evangelical response to Him, and the only choice for your object's (faith's) destiny or destination, Heaven. There is no formula to get there. There are no glib phrases to repeat, which would be glib plattitudes attempted but truly in Christ: in His Person that is to say, "He is the way, the truth, and the life," and in that confession made sincerely without prejudicial pretense and doubt that we’re born again and started on our journey! John 14:6. "There is no other Name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved" Acts 4:12. You can draw near to God and He will draw near to you James 4:7. You can have your benefit of relationship and fellowship of inward relationship made strong outwardly in knowing about Him on the way to firsthand experience of Him but knowing with the pain evident first of what our sins did to Him and known only to you and God, from Him that you are a sinner deserving of God's wrath meaning Hell's torment and that by knowing that pain firsthand in ethereal senses you need to know the way is open and plain by the Word of the New Covenant In Christ's Blood to all open and that a way, a new and living way is available through the Blood clearly obtained by Christ's Death and Resurrection to that line of restoration in that confession! (and that in Finished Work God loves YOU humbled under the Almighty strong, justifies you, and is for you!) God will never leave you! We tend to be prone to wander but God intends we obey the Risen Son! For in His Presence yes in Him and Him alone and His fullness there is fullness of joy & pleasures at His right hand forevermore and this encompasses all things going to be put under Christ's feet until that last enemy Death is destroyed in knowing God through Christ as Lord in God's Kingdom in simple faith. Salvation in prayer starts with the Finished Work on the cross and forgiveness of sins from God and is expressed in obedience to Christ's Risen Spirit: Internal relationship to God and expressed Eternal life which starts at Calvary with the Death on the Cross or Resurrection and goes on forever life everlasting! Jesus spoke more about The Kingdom of Heaven or God than He did salvation by a great multiplier. With a quality unlived before this Christ lived and completed the Task! With tears I pray the things that break God’s heart will break my heart and yours. For It was our sins that nailed Him to a cross. For His ways are so much higher than ours! His thoughts are much higher than our thoughts! The cross is our stepping stone not stumbling block to this ethos and sometimes pathos or solitude with God of a "dark night of the soul" admitting we're sinners to ourselves and to Him but on the road to celebration of the true value of Christ and His Gift in going to the Cross and living "in Him," nevertheless. The Gospel is an affront to the mind. Keep in mind the affront hurts and is the cross, is foolishness to some and an offense also to some but blind they are to disbelieve the Gospel living wrongly before God their Maker. They need a brand newness of heart and life to even see correctly for the log that's in their eyes. Living the Christian life is not in self-glory apart nor to be lived in self-righteousness alone apart but in Him (Christ) humbly restored, passively by grace active waited out, actively expressed outreached with God's Hands extended to the street in Agape. Extroverted in our heart's cry daily we say Christ won for us triumphant Victorious achievement and His accomplishment is our righteousness and we cry open and honest about facing the fact of sins we’ve committed to God and that we’re blatant sinners needy for Him to give Godly sorrow to even Grace from Him alone to He working repentance for us not to be repented of nor in any worldly sorrow of any kind felt. We rejoice in Him and abase self to an extent bowing low that we can bow honest before Him and to then abound rejoicing for what God has Done and keeping an eagerness to rejoice in Him! Self-glory just doesn't enter the scene. For as a part of self-effort or bragging to work to get to God we cease from and we put aside in the Spirit through Christ deadened by the Spirit and cross-life of Jesus to know Him genuine because of mercy and grace from God to glorify Him. Gal. 2:20 explains, "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ live in me. And the life that I now live in the soma and sarx I live by faith in the Son of God Who loved me and gave Himself for me." Christ came out of an empty Tomb to fill our empty hearts. Christ can change our mourning into gladness. He can set our feet a dancing! Receiving forgiveness we can laugh and sleep sound! For the disciples needed Christ there before them after the resurrection for 40 days to minister to them. Indeed Christ opened their minds to scripture and the promised Spirit soon arrival too. Tarry in Jerusalem Jesus commanded then. Benny Hester sings a song in Contemporary Christian music called, “When God Ran,“ about how God longs to come to each one 'sinning' of us returning to Papa Abba as children and prodigals repenting and so He longs to fill each of us with His Presence and with Resurrection Life even a life regenerated and raised to newness of being. Except you become as little children and receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, you will not enter it nor be saved. Therefore, the noblest act for us to do is humble ourselves to sit at the feet of Jesus Who is the exact representation of God. To sit and learn of Me, Jesus said being His yoke is easy and burden is light for in not eating the bread of fools but by silence from Him is solitude and not just joy! Preferably in a prone or prostrated  position always before Him, to worship Him we worship Him and bow. Jesus spoke plainly after His death and living again and about orders of the Holy Spirit during forty days after rising again and prior to Pentecost. Before His Death Jesus spoke to His Father saying, “Sanctify us by Thy Truth.“ “Thy Word is truth." He also said that He was sent by the Father and His Work was completed in John 17 before His Death. So should we. We can learn there in his Discourse to the Disciples and Gethsemane's Garden that man is totally depraved and has the witness of God in His temporary earthly existence inside them (in conscience) if they want to notice that, and (spirit) knowing they have an eternal destination even to decide for from Evangelical Response when light of some kind from people of some kind in God's mercy reveals Christ and His words to them. Christ is the end or fulfillment of righteousness to all who believe for righteousness and forgiveness period rather than work for to attempt to earn their salvation for those who exert effort on their part for righteousness are doomed. God leads the devil drives. Man needs a Savior and must know he is fallen even because of inner witness. Jesus is to be Believed in for salvation literally His Name, in Jesus Name His Character: for grace to know He is His Holy And To Hope in His Person being His Holy is Righteous, and He's Just, Merciful, Good, Faithful and Loving for we’re to worship Him for mercy shown us as we come to know Who He is more and as you have received Christ Jesus Savior and Lord, to so walk in Him and to honor His ways. He is able to save you from sin, death, evil, and the grave sitting seated in Heavenly Places subsequently by His Death and Resurrection through His Blood and keep you kept, intact, and in every abundantly aspect living uttermost kept, blessed in Him. He saves He keeps He satisfies by His Power. In His love He means to love us with great strength to the end meaning “Rapture,“ or the death you die not spiritually but you maintain good to persevere for you to live forever in either...But life begins at being born again! Hell is a real place and don’t go there. We don't become ascetic nor pessimistic about our fallen ness but estimate truly how great a salvation we have spiritually in acceptance from God when the Spirit becomes our Friend and affirms us constantly II Corinthians one. If the Rapture comes to pass while you're living for God in service to Him, you're ready for the Bema Seat, and you are living in relationship to God by faith through grace, you can be caught up in (“rapizo in org. Bible languages) to the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall you ever be with the Lord Jesus! Comfort one another with these words! Doesn't this sound like something you’d like? Alternatively, learn to like? Oh Love maybe? Read I Thessalonians 4:13-17 and I Corinthians 15:1-7ff. Imagine being left out thinking, “I’m good enough to enter Heaven and then finding my Standard is no good because I compromise my standard and I can say He may honestly say then to me at the judgments after the rapture, “I never knew you, ye that work iniquity, depart into outer darkness.” In your realer moments you know it is true of us all UNTIL we come home to Him. We need a Savior Who will never leave to make us born again if we commit to and would never leave us I say again, JESUS! These are fair warnings of having Christ inside a must, not verbal punishments of possible hell although hell exists, but don't go there; not verbally meant consequences nor any other kind meant but on this hand not necessarily necessary outcomes either. Follow the Lord's Voice in Him and in His Word where He is leading and care for the sick. If you know the good news of the Gospel attempt in the Spirit to make Christ known of everywhere. In context, "God be merciful to me a sinner," was heard said by a Tax-gatherer who was someone Jesus told us who humbled himself before God he beating upon his breast in personal agony for his life's sins. The Pharisee was a total opposite creep or jerk lost in proud thought. Jesus told the interpretation of this about people who think themselves righteous and show contempt for others. (Jerk is an acceptably used word of joe-ness here as creep becomes) This parable shows humility before God by this publican who came home justified and exalted having humbled himself bowing low before God in honor and worship of God in love for God for Who God is and he did it with humility. In keeping with the line of scripture I’m towing I'm in LOVE and found: that God is love and Jesus shows it personally to me by His Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection and Subsequent Life: and We all must bow down low before God and accept this born again relationship: re: His way of Rescue from the sinfulness and insidiousness of sin in this world, sins that we have committed by error and of commission and omission. Just by being born from Adam, we are accountable because we all were all in Adam when he fell. This invitation from God Himself is a testifying that Jesus Paid It All ->that cleansing from sin Christ won to gain our salvation for us was complete and makes us whole for all as the option who get Everlasting Life at the moment of belief for salvation; it follows...WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN AS INDIVIDUALS because hell is the passive choice made if the loving principle of God's love in salvation is not applied to oneself! Born of God, in relationship to Him! No religion too! As a popular song lyric puts it *BUT IN GENUINE RELATIONSHIP TO GOD! * God will transform you and more so over time. Live in this transforming vision. The Spirit and the Bride say come! Glory to the Lamb of God if you do!

The Word of God in Genesis says that God Almighty El Elyon (God The Most High) created man in the image and likeness of God so let's rejoice in our Savior as we win others to Christ who can be recreated in His image. Genesis declares man was created innocent but suffers irreparably from the fall of Adam the first man. The Bible declares in the third chapter fifteenth verse and elsewhere in the same chapter of the Genesis account record that their fall brought substantial crises to themselves and those that followed and that this happened just as they disobeyed God's command to not eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that God said no to eat as a direct command but disobeyed. Any other tree was perfect obedience for them. They were the tree of life to them. Man thinks of loopholes first all the time but he was still made in God's image in soul and spirit vestiges latent of it and man thinks, “how do I fix this,” when in a quandary so he then made fig leaves to cover his/her skin but God made provision to restore man without help FROM MAN or without hands as Daniel puts it, for that redemption of the likeness and image of God to be returned. God slew an animal and made animal clothes to show Adam and Eve He cared kindly and that He could do His end of the Mission. He slew a sacrifice and it was the first one. Even this expresses the kind thought that the Lamb of God was Slain from before the Foundation of the world for God provided firstly AN EVERLASTING Covenant by sacrifice for Adam and we play a part in it and over again by reflecting salvation wearing the coat of skins. Even today in this very moment God would love to order your newness aright and show you He has a plan for you to live “in the dust of the Rabbi," God-breathed (inspired: theopneustos in Greek) and for that likeness or image of God to be restored making you Born of God in solitude, submission, and service to God for you & for me. This is EMT aid by God or CPR God performs on you by service of spiritual salvation (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation of the heart and life through spirit in-breath.) And I can see in my mind's eye in the unknown for me on my plate to believe the likeness aspects of being in-breathed of Father God our Creator in us in that investment He does. In His natural creation acts and in the Finished Work on Calvary it was this unconditional love of His as well as that conditional done both all because of His love Agape for man. It is conditional because our end is belief in Him and we do it. It is natural and special revelation. Without regard for who we are in our person alone and in His Own Personal Way Amazing Unconditional personal LOVE IS SHOWN US nonetheless, from His Throne and His long-hearted passion-shown long suffering persevering Almighty Sovereignty worked sacredly to appoint justification to us in the cross and for me personally for a time in particular of being saved in the moment scripture calls Today we open the door to Christ because grace is of saving aspect. Today if you will hear God's voice harden not your hearts, as in the day of provocation as when you did disobey in the wilderness Hebrews four says. My observation and commitment to intimacy is based on what I and others have observed in intervention from Abba Daddy God in my life and that of others (redemption of that image of God man fell from in Eden is transformation in changed lives, and healings and Divine Miracles of His Intervening,) and for His eternal express purposes in the Spirit and by such grace that is from God. These Resurrection redemptive purposes are worth triumphing in in His victory at the cross in every circumstance or suffering for right we experience for His Name’s sake being ordained of Him to suffer shame for His Name in it all. Of it all no matter how desperately in our path we squirm to struggle obedient nonetheless we acknowledge Him forgiving and we forgiving others too some suffering in it too. Consider Job and his outcome that the Lord is very pitiable and of Joseph towards Mary loving her or David showing patience to Saul. But the Friendship of God involves doing His commands, which is a whole different kind of friendship. Let’s remember that before we speak of Him too familiar.

As we take the faith to be saved and to lay aside all superfluidity of naughtiness to receive with meekness (inner strength and outer strength and gentleness) the engrafted Word which is able to save our souls He will show up going before us with His Presence on us in His part everywhere on our way to being His in belonging identity and to someday God willing being cradled into heaven by Him or ushered in by Him someday in our Heavenly dwelling as we live the Christian life in faith by relationship not religion in endurance! God is Love! HERE’S A GAME: Do you know how often the word in scripture appears; "Christian" is only mentioned two times but the word, "disciple" is over 350 times*? He does not come in the front door and go leave out the back door. He came to stay when we and He saw our need, and as sinners warmly received by His Spirit one responds to His awe inside us to honor Him and invite Christ inside specially! Jesus did not come or be one of us to be served but to serve and to give His life a Ransom for many. He came in meekness and undergirding servant greatness to show to us His faithfulness. That God in His serving of us is in Exodus as well revealed in how He dandled Israel upon His knees and I believe everywhere else in the Bible shown is for us! Its there for us to honor Him for His faithfulness. Another Prophet like Moses is prophesied to be risen up and to come and is Jesus. Israel believed that The Prophet would come in the future and that he would come as Messiah! Even a two-fold Messiah is predicted, a suffering one and a Kingly one. Jesus fulfilled both in His first coming as a suffering One mostly and Jesus revealed this to John the Baptist and in His Second Coming Christ will come as a Kingly One mostly. His disciples seldom realized this undergirding greatness during His Life on earth. When Jesus was Resurrected by the glory of the Father the disciples realized the two-fold seeming Purpose of His Comings! Salvation of body, soul, and spirit is available! The Church on Pentecost received the Divine imperatives by Peter's address. We just now have the deposit if we claim it by faith being saved by grace! We truly need a Baptism in the Holy Spirit! Jesus was called, "the friend of sinners," "a glutton, and a winebibber," because He knew the work of God and loved sinners with Agape (infamous sinners) but did not plow into sin nor engage in their sinful practices but redeemed them. Jesus was like a Warhorse in a lot of ways just (please see the movie.) He pleased God infinitely but not only obeyed Him so much so but that He also was declared very God by men and by angels and not for anything He did or spoke out redemptively in but in Power for Who He was! He pleased God, was Believed on in the world and was raised to glory! Angels beheld Him! He could see in every man there's a HURTING--- HE ONLY COULD KNOW AND HE ONLY COULD SAVE US FROM SIN IN ANY STATE OR SITUATION, pouring healing in, exactly where the human condition 'needed' (for) salvation intimacy with God and for man that this had to happen so He being God Incarnate with His Holy Nature on He being Perfectly Holy and Righteous could come for man's benefit (see Ephesians, or John 3:15-17) man's eternal salvation. Moreover, He gave up His godly prerogatives to do His own thing to seek to please the Father. He is therefore either honored as Lord, liar, or lunatic if you read the Gospels as clearly as I do. So just Who is He? It is right to believe He is Lord and Savior! And in Control Sovereignly! This is so even if we are slow. Because He said, "If you can't believe what I say, believe on the basis of the very works sake." In addition, what lovely works! We read of! The greatness of His works in incomprehensible! They were done in gentle ways but with the finger of God's Might as well. He never spoke out against anybody, never did harm to anybody in any written down writing of the Gospels. “He has done all things well,” and “He is altogether lovely!“ it was said of Him. He was submissive to others and as gentle as meek Moses was a servant and more so (as a Son, like a tenderly beloved son of His Father in Heaven, the OT & Hebrews says) but He entrusted plainly living obeying to going to a cross. With mightily expressed living in God upon the earth giving His life to God in obeying to pleasing (not just rote obeying,) but by God's Omnipotent Sovereign grace He lived in a ‘HIGHLY FAVORED GODLY PLEASING MANNER TO GOD and man.' But when it conflicted as many a time & it did: re: God's plan, He chose God’s. Jesus also predicted His Death, "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me." This predilection He said was speaking of His Death on Calvary and Risen Resurrection Life subsequently. And as a footnote then His life He lived after the Resurrection is also a saving aspect for us for He is the Resurrection (we have,) and the Life interceding for us! Salvation full and wealthy spiritually is ours. In the tradition of Lazarus’s Resurrection we live and move and have our being unto God becoming healed saved people that perish or die eventually but go on to Eternal Life in the Presence of God in Heaven! He also said, "The Kingdom of God is come near, therefore, repent, change your action, mind and attitude." Do an about face from sin and sinful ways in other words. Go and sin no more because of God's Son's New Nature implanted in you and Christ's Name means He came to take away sin. He predicted His Death would be three days in the earth and He would be in the grave and that it would be God's Redemptive act signaling for a sign like Jonah‘S. Ending in Resurrection eventually and orders to His Apostles, Ascension and Exaltation to the Father‘s Throne where He glorified lives Today He ever lives to make intercession for us living for us was Christ's Mission. He came a Preacher of Righteousness and of Father God and He being a good Daddy and faithful to relationship to God as Heavenly Father. He called God His Father above and accepted the worship of God freely but only to a limited degree in public places having made equality with God not something to be grasped and in kenosis, the self-emptying, He emptied Himself so completely He went to a cross Death. He defined the way to God with exact wise specificity and precise accuracy by loving God perfectly and man in perfection of thought, attitude, word, and deed perfectly. He never failed in this His Purpose! His act of laying His life down in Crucifixion by torture by bad men in the Father’s will nonetheless is the demonstration of God's love, which I will explain. Redemptively the plan of God is to buy us back from captivity to sins. Resurrection of those dreamy aspects of our humanity’s 'Utopia or Shangri-la' or Heaven we dream of, concerning the perfection of a community of servants of society in the next life & it being our destination theoretically (from one generation to the next it is being believed) come from God and are ticketed in the offering as revealed truth. All truth is truth if its true. Jesus is the embodiment of truth. God calls your number up or in acts of contrition over a lifetime lived fully endured as well in obedience to God by grace through faith as in Jesus's words because how He said how hard it is for a rich man to enter Heaven is believed. He also said, “But with God all things are possible.“ Michael W. Smith asks in a song, (God) Do You dream of me? Yes Yes. There are objective qualifications to this entrance to Heaven subjectively appropiated realized. If we genuinely believe God through the Risen Son Christ and following Jesus Christ to the end of our lives, in coming to Him we will be saved calling on Him assured of God's Promises toward us in a follow through. You see you must follow God and obey and fellowship with the Father and Son I John 1 as once becoming saved knowing the kindness of our Lord is goodness leading to repentence. God gives us an Anointing and seal then. We have it. We don’t need to search somewhere for it. We should read Bill Shank's books, "Elect In The Son," and "Life In The Son." We abide in Him and live to help others find this Anointing Fullness. He wants us for His own and on His own team born again. And He wants us on His own Terms exactly New Covenant relationship for He loves us that much to let us alone kindly to come to the end our strength to choose His. He wants us to talk to Him readily; He really desires to talk to us and we to listen, in other words to have much much conversation with Himself! Be quick to hear and to listen! Be slow to speak! Slow to become angry! For man's wrath does not work or establsh the righteousness of God. James 1:18,19 As far as born again saved redeemed renewed individuals, we are remade in the image of God and become restored in being saved to become like the second Adam, the Last Man walking in liberty. Jesus is the model. When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there! Or else we are dead in trespasses and sins and children of wrath. The unsaved humans in the flesh, which is a majority of us, are just existing on doubt and offense and on our unfortified way to hell. We can't even lift ourselves up by our bootstraps. Jesus came to give us Eternal life and Abundant Life and to destroy the works of the devil. It’s like an unwrapping of a bandage this work of devil destruction Jesus gives to the saints to perform on themselves and others as ministry from God's Son to God and eventually to others. Jesus said, “Except a kernel of wheat fall to the ground and die, it abides alone. But if it die it bears much fruit.” We want to minister as high priests to God but get saved first. Some of us have no choice but to die in order to live. In other words to find life we have to lose it. Jesus' yoke is kind though. Some of us are indeed dying to live. Jesus does the saving supernaturally and the conviction from the Holy Spirit follows. Are we there yet? Then we become weapons of righteousness in the Lord’s hand when saved..


When we let our lower nature control our behavior and attitude we are merely Existing in an angry build up of sinful nature, the tyranny of vengeance and the uncanny malice of a sinful nature tyranny of lower nature behavior that makes one barred from being in the 'in' crowd of God’s popular great luminescent ones. Christ chose the nails and we should too when it comes to letting patience and kindness rule us. If we are in the Adam’s flesh of the old sinful nature by result of living there, we fail. Jesus makes the difference in a life bound for heartache and defeat by renewing our spirits making us (living dead.) He came to save the lost in sin, ruination, the sinful, bruised, battered, broken, and shattered person. If any man can remove his pride to let the Savior in, let him. He is the Savior of the Body in and of the New Covenant by a new and living way, which He made which is He inside us we, His Body indwelt by Himself: the Church: His Presence His Resurrection inside and outside, Holy Spirit inside and reigning supreme! You must commit to enduring with patience persevering to run your own race until the end. Does that include you in the New Covenant? You must choose. Like Paul before Felix, Festus, or Agrippa do you find yourself almost persuaded to become a Christian? Jesus did His Father's business always and ALWAYS pleased the Father by what He said or did and was never unnecessarily angry nor in any ways fearful nor did He worry to do any stepping out of God's perfect plan, by out of bounds (to sin,) so the Honor went to Him to be the perfect sacrifice Lamb for sin. If it was right, Jesus was doing it. Also He went on the straight and narrow traveled by the less. As underdogs and Christians we choose in His steps. However, acting very well was way cool for Him. HE SPOKE BOLDLY IN ELOQUENCE WHEN IT WAS NECESSARY TO EXPLAIN THE CROSS HE CARRIED AND AS TO THE KINGDOM AND ITS LIFESTYLE AND VERY ELEGANTLY LIVED WITH NO PLACE TO LAY HIS HEAD IN FACT TO HELP US AND HELP US REPENT HE ACTED KINDLY TO PEOPLE AND HE TOUCHED AND HE HEALED PEOPLE OF DIVERSE KINDS OF DISEASES FREELY AND IMMEDIATELY & INSTANTLY HE HEALED WITH ALL KINDS OF HEALINGS AND METHODS WITH DIVINE INTERVENTIONS HIS MIRACLES THEY OCCURED. Jesus spoke privately to His disciples: James, John, and Peter, His inner circle. Jesus healed across radical methods and racial lines, from a distance, and by various means and by spoken word at that day or era all who came to Him. Even the storm had to be quiet when He spoke to it. He touched the sick and they recover to this day and the world could not contain the books that could be written concerning what Jesus said and did what the Mighty Healer the Great Physician of Galilee loved us so with! "However, these are written that you might believe that He is the Christ and that by believing you might have life in His Name!" This is actual words from John's Gospel! God is a good personal God longing to intimately know us! We have to forget the ‘old country’ and embrace The New Country… the Newness of Life in Christ, God’s Breath inspiration, or the Theopneustos, the Inspiration inbreathing of God’s Spirit, Nature, and Character and well being in a new heart, new mind, and new spirit! Its getting the Living Word inside from reading and studying the written Word. One's faith then in staring at the form of Jesus in reading the Word (His face therein) He reveals Himself and in hearing the still small voice OF GOD and in the Word plainly revealed, we have the plan of God in God’s Purpose therein in the revelation of and the like receiving of His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ by us and that reveals God's Perfect Will transforms us and is to be honoring of Him. This can turn up the heat on your own lifestyle OR turn up and bring His Victory inner if you’re 'in Christ.' There are two sides of a street. Wisdom is in the Bible to turn in and find home. There is freedom then in knowing the cross victorious was triumph and Finished Work God performed through Christ and the salvation He offered for sure in certainty of His Character and Nature is in more than abundant triumph in knowing Him. And His Holiness & Righteousness Is His Nature or Character, along with His Justice, mercy, goodness, and faithfulness. And His Perfection is Holiness and He is separate from sin. You bear fruit in being a disciple of Christ’s and this shows up as evidence of His Power in you. Christians become clothed by God Himself in Power and char-is (grace) as they indwelt behold God's Power freely expressed and working inside them even in suffering by believers. Humbly we acknowledge we are vessels unto mercy for we have received mercy. In belief constantly in obedience to God through Christ Who is a Personal Being Who loves us everlastingly and unconditionally He embraces us boldly in the Spirit in a gentle mighty New Covenant way with unmerited grace given which is unmerited favor from Himself and mercy not because their is any goodness in our choices but we, giving glory to God continually..don't take the credit for anything. as team players we do this. In addition, He wants to personally bless you as you humble yourself in His sight to subjectively get involved in you in particularly intimate fashion and to in our personality get His fingers and hands and nails Through to our lives through faith’s response and the Spirit working. We are dignified of and as His hands and feet extend in the out reach of God working in us to will and do of His good pleasure.. He has with indiscriminate and extravagant sacrificial unconditional STRONG EMBRACING LOVE for us saved us but we must embrace that work of His own choosing and choose too to love God for we are told about this in the Bible as special revelation not just from nature: He has given us a chance at Evangelical Response, justification forgiveness of sins & cleansed from sins as benefactors of Himself. God's love is unconditionally applied to us all but we are accountable individually to accept it and to be accountable to give it to others subjective Hebrews 12:6. Salvation through the Son's Sacrificial Death is objective in that Jesus died for everybody: but is to be personally subjectively applied to each individual as they hear about it and respond by faith which is important for one to live born twice 'in His Strength', in His Will and Way, in His Spirit, and the listening to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit obey. The Presence of God is within us. He is both Provider and Provision! It’s our choice! You have changes to your heart and to your lifestyle if you desire this transformation or have this personal individual subjective application of salvation to you made happen according to His Word in Christ and believing on Christ. Hearing the proclamation of God's Gospel, Following this way to God through Christ, we find the plan and Purpose of God for our lives made plain in simple faith and we are transformed and more aware of blueprints. In peace with God within us then in every situation and trial you find yourself in after justification for forgiveness of sins in salvation you can bring God’s Redemption into the situations. We are justified in the Spirit by Him, and sealed, spiritually in a flux state or of completion holy unto Christ saved and on the road of righteousness in God through Christ. For He is our peace and our Hope and stability then. If you are saved, spiritual things are spiritually discerned and or experienced abiding in the Son Christ Jesus. But spiritual laws, as of laws of viscosity and momentum in science are either observed (and that in a laboratory of life or learned about as an education from textbooks of the influence of the Bible in culture and the influence of the Bible on the history of human affairs) or experienced firsthand. For there are three kinds of men according to Will Rogers that great American: The ones that learn by reading books both verbal and non-verbal according Foster; The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for them.) We need to know God and be with Him everywhere He is. Love God and love others as yourself. And serve Him in Christ means everywhere make Him Lord, and see God in the face of Jesus Christ in everyone as much as it lies within you to live at peace with everyone if we are born of the Spirit making Him Lord of every area and compassionately live from your guts. Make an honest exertion to understand the actions of others and understand how God wants you to love them and see them as He does. Look past externals to see the heart of everyone (one at a time) and know everyone is hurt in some way. God can make an influential interjection of Eternal everlasting substance by your prayers and acts. Being hidden with Christ in God becomes sitting, walking, and standing in being clothed with the Lord Jesus and power in Ephesians. Vertical worship to God is the most important. Balance is in a horizontal direction of fellowship of reconciliation with Christians and we thrive.

There’s a three-point sermon there. For instance in our discerning, the spiritual law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death is an air foil from a sinful life gone to lift us up from sin and its negative potential. For its a law of spiritual obedience for the saved in Christ becoming kinetic energy. Vices or addiction by decision are of sins of the spirit or flesh we receive cleansing from in coming to God and are not the narrow way and straight gate of scripture Christ spoke about to continue on in doing. This is objective truth God wants to help us with. Empty vessels must be filled. The Bible says, “The power of sin is the Law.” So people then tend to want to run the gamut of sinful addictive habits they can muster by sinning getting drunk or high and obtaining away from God’s voice in his/her conscience if they choose. They do this wavering just for rebellion's sake turning license into 'licentiousness for the sake of rebelling and not in the circle of God's separation from unrighteousness or love for God‘. This trail ends in perdition. Condemnation from such behavior brings regret and would erroneously tell them its ok, (to continue ‘in’ sin,) and is followed by degradation but conviction of the Holy Spirit rather, which would lean us toward God's spiritual answer, salvation of soul and spirit in the Lord and true discipline of the body which is moderation and is obedience to God and that is right. The latter is for a Christian in Christ. Listen you are somebody because God does not make any junk. Fearfully and wonderfully we are made by Jehovah. God is not angry with ya because of the Cross-. He loves on you and has forgiven you. Do we believe each and every wrong has a recompense to be paid and God is no respector of persons until we come to Christ? It is all in His Word we find Life in Christ and His words in total are Wisdom to escape the sin that is prevalent Hebrews 12:1-7. Jesus dying on the Cross is a proclamation God wants to make inside a church sanctuary or outside also to announce to you. Declaring God's way out of a deceiving world or a spiritual salvation rescue in the Spirit by the Word is that we have a sinful nature exposed at times that must be excised or crucified deadened by His Spirit as Paul the Apostle said before and that must be forever dealt with in salvation and sometimes by a restoring of fellowship reconciliation that we then sins of tendency and that by nailing it to the cross of wood of Christ inside we envision can trust the Blood to save in the reality of God's. Those who are born again Christians are changing by God’s transformation and are exchanging their sins for His Son’s yoke and a robe of Pure White! We are saved from dead works to serve God acceptably with godly respect in our consciences. A renewed mind gives renewing in the heart and we stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might keeping short accounts with God being washed renewed in fellowship again when we sin and are aware of it. II Corinthians five 17-20 says we have an ambassadorship or ministry from God of being reconcilers. The very soul of everybody is eternal and people will listen to the Message of believers who are the Messengers and they will find a home in either of two places. We are talking nails here as in nail the old nature to the cross of wood good and gain salvation for yourself before it is too late II Peter 1:2, 3. Jesus Christ is able to save mightily and His motive is salvation! All things are possible! We know God's command is to never sin and as to unsaved innocent individuals as far back as Adam and Eve disobeyed. But to try to avoid the appearance of sin or evil even to not look upon evil or do because it is crouching at your door was said to Cain just after the Garden fiasco and still becomes a crossroads to all born againers trying to obey Christ. But the Ten Commandments says this and that is limits, and tempted in life sometimes it looks grim. But Jesus rose from the dead! Meditate on that! Christ gave His all can't we even do some of that in faith? Testifying is all we can gain in the Lord victoriously having gone through something. We rise from ashes in triumph in Christ! We confess to God because it's our lower nature to disobey and to rebel without this Person of God's Choosing, Jesus Christ at the helm. We are powerless unless His Spirit gives the go ahead. If we sin we chose to but sometimes we may feel it was in ignorances. Excuses, excuses. This is no excuse because all this is tied to the will. Read Luther's Bondage To The Will as excellent book. We choose however. Moreover, there is no blame or blame game blaming God for sin either or for fantasizing to deliberately disobey being supposedly sin trapped. Christ is Risen! Risen Indeed! Romans 6:14 says, “Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” We have choices! In Christ is victory and following the Holy Spirit's choices is from Him. But the sinner before coming to Christ which he may or may not do eventually is condemned not believing on the Name of Jesus Christ until He does! He has no choice but to accept Christ or have meaningless direction in life like a wave on the ocean and temporal existence misery because it's with no Eternal life present! God looks down upon the bunch of critters we are and He calls us by name like He did Mary outside Lazarus’s tomb. "Mary." He sees us in our messy need in Adam and in our messes but doesn't like that sin harms our lives which sin does (Greek word for sin is harm-atia, ie. sin harms.) He is patiently waiting for the full number of saved to be saved and of the sinful sinful acts of wicked to mature from blessed saved so the saved can evidently vexed find salvation ours in Christ in context of this life stumbling upon Christ for salvation before He physically intervenes in this sin-trapped existence of man. Remember He’s returning! In looking for justice it will be illusive in this life but ask for mercy as much as you can to recall or remember to do and you will be re: right thing. It is something of what God does we cannot assume either. In Christ a cautious life leads us to wisdom. We owe God overall for every command we in Christ and arrogance give or receive in Christ in godly elder counsel and so we keep it humble! However, God says, “mercy triumphs over judgment,“ in James. Seek His mercy not His justice because justly you deserve eternal hell punishment. Remember its His Will that no one perish! Remember the fragments that remained at the feeding of the 5,000 and 4,000? God is concerned for more people to come to the Savior! There is more persons that could be saved! This is the age of Grace that Gentiles get grafted in! Jews come to be whole from Messiah! Because of sins and sinning, we have stopped short of His glory. We can witness to unsaved by asking them to tell us where God's salvation glory departs from them so we can tell them anyway even if they never get saved.

But sometimes-bad things happen to good Christians anyway and suffering happens also because we live in a fallen world Romans 8:26,27. Sometimes, “the rain falls on the just and the unjust,“ applies also as Jesus said. Other times we are persecuted for righteousness sake unjustly. Job was tested and you will too so in God's strength make it a giant test not a pigmy test to suffer for Christ not a personal falling short testing or tempting of God. Remember those suffering in the Church in the body around the world as if you were in your own body. So how are you doing in Christ? Are you like Him? Maturity is illusive. We have broken His Laws and come short. We repent and do it again. This is for sure fact. We have trespassed His glorious message. Have you confessed this fallen short of yourself to God alone Romans 3:23;6:23? If it applies that He says, "If we have sinned or failed at trying one law we've failed at trying them all," (see James 2:10,) then let us examine ourselves to see if it is so. Let us see if we are in the faith. II Cor. 13:5 can heal your spirituality of faith to know Paul asked the question of us in the dramatic present and himself. At times yes we stop ourselves in our tracks: re: become convinced of this breaking of God's heart by us and get healed and fellowship restoration to begin a personal relationship restored of fellowship and working again God talking it over with Him in winning dialog with our Creator His way restored again Rom 6:23; Rev 3:20. But we must be born again first to know God truly. You ask God. We will find healing, forgiveness, cleansing, sanctifying, and gain His favor being born again God being merciful. Jesus paid it all. This means we get the exousia or authority in original Greek to ask and become God's Children. re: justification, just as if we never sinned! (like windshield wipers.) In being saved, we embrace Christ's salvation for you and He taking away your sins makes you to stand in right standing forgiven and keeps you from falling in ultimate fashion (Jude 23.) When you fail or fall you prop yourself up and get peace again with God. You stand and in His Spirit become victorious saints sanctified who follow Christ thereafter by faith through grace in prayer and in Christ being in the Word becoming a steadfast disciple of Jesus’ in lifestyle saved by faith in Jesus’ lifestyle after His Resurrection in the Spirit. We learn to stop the cycle and grow up in Him! Imagine going through your whole life living it in the Spirit to follow through committing to Christ and enduring to the end in its fullest animated sense supernaturally completely enduring by God Himself through Christ the Son as a disciple or follower of Jesus Christ? Heaven is just a door away then, short hop from this life! After salvation or getting there we put on the New Self which is created in true Holiness and Righteousness of the truth: Who is Christ Himself which is not a step for there are no steps to sanctification. But this is being made holy which Christ does alone for you. He takes the desire to sin right out of you and away from you. Born again you deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him. In addition, is follow through, that is doing what He says and following through with it. As God-pleasers and not man-pleasers we can do what Jesus said and did and in may ways be more like Him, striving to be like Him. We can be a new creation outside as well within as the Bible puts it in II Corinthians 5:17 calling on Him, crying out extroverted. Only God is Holy and He makes one Holy as Gift! It starts at God's altar you make in your heart in prayer at God's Altar in Heaven's seat of mercy! Will you realize that in God’s sight a transaction takes place? You in a sense trade your bologna sandwiches for God's Lobster! But it is God’s Son’s obedience that saves you! Literally. He paid a debt He did not owe. I owed a debt I could not pay. Christ paid the debt I Couldn't pay and for all or everybody’s completion of salvation for there is a past, present, and future aspect to it. Heaven will be pleasure beyond pleasure of sex of this life. We can exercise faith in the Son and in the obedience then of the Son in the Kingdom of God within (allegiance to Christ Jesus, His Gift, in His Resurrection, His Life, raised to newness of life, seated in the heavenlies, becoming a disciple) in joining to His Spirit: re: Belong to Him! By the Holy Spirit's work, we CAN BE THIS DISCIPLE, known for the mark of belonging to Him by His Holy Spirit with His authority too, animating for He changes us by this transforming of our lives in obedience as in a mirror and to be used of Him in the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ in the Word as we obey the Holy Spirit’s promptings. We go from faith to faith glory to glory reflections of God! He who has the Son has life! If you do not have the Son in you, there is no life spiritually in you! Stern warnings about missing out on the love of God in the Word are there for lives of sinful habitually in sin without Him lives after hearing firstly of the redemption in Christ and given the Gospel. But until death the way is through Christ. Hell indeed is awaiting one is such a state of independence if they fail to get born again at any moment! There is a sin unto death. Scripture says to not pray for it. Will you accept His Gift? Before it is eternally too late? Accepting His obedience leading to Eternal Life for you and you renouncing all iniquity? His Death, as your salvation’s atonement? Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. No man gets to God apart from Him. Strait is the gate and narrow is the way to life and few there be that find it. Horizontally human loving people take the ladder vertically up in contrition up to Heaven to God's and His love and His way being right!

Jesus DID have that attitude perspective living obedient pleasing of the Father in His love and He submitted to God in everything. So should we submit to Him and at other times submit to each other in Christ and be living saved. In Jesus’ example we have a teacher Who not only lived what He said but did the same also and died firstly to save re: us when obeying would then have taken His integrity over the line, He stood His ground and Died for it, having thus it said about Him, “This is Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews.” This railroaded charge and true statement but guilty sentence was put in a plaque above His body up on the cross. Jesus’ audience during His earthly life was an Old Testament one, hence His example of love for God and challenge to keep the Law was so beyond our ability we would need Him for it and the Biblical language He used archaic or ancient figures of speech showed this. Christ gave gifts to men. He lived in integrity far away from the edge of or near to any sinning. He took captivity captive. He gave gifts to men. He arose up early in the day to pray to His Father and depended fully on Him for help during the day. Christ knew Decisions that day required wisdom and reliance! God’s unconditional love in Christ was compelling reconciling the world unto Himself in Calvary's Consummation: for He died on the cross AND IT WAS FOR YOU, BURIED, AND BY THE GLORY OF THE FATHER RESURRECTED! And you, a broken clay pot (a High price paid for you by Jesus meaning death on a crucifixion cross,) FOR YOU in which God sought by a way within His own Laws of Mercy & Justice providing Mercy drops around us are falling to save you in the Blood of the Son's perfection of obedience and Death. Jesus brought His Blood to the Heavenly Throne and Mercy Seat between the four winged cherubim before the Father. He lived right and died right becoming sin for us that we might become the Righteousness of God in Christ. We can sit with Him in Heavenly places TODAY!. Freedom is never free nor is it cheap. Free countries need a militia and a defense to stay free. However, slavery (ours) is a high price to pay if it is not intervened for. True slaves are sin slaves. Showers of blessing there be and art for us for God being He is so not against us or nor from a distance from us chiding BUT calling us near softly and tenderly FOR salvation and opportunity for forgiveness and He provided the Lamb but sin has made a chasm He wants bridged in our lives by His Blood in salvation. When one is subsequently saved sins are taken away gone! Forgiven! There is a sea of forgetfulness in God's eyesight and He posts an ethos and pathos: no fishing sign! This is so because His Blood enters Heaven the veil being rent in two at His Death so the way into the Holy of Holies at the Mercy Seat before the Father’s Throne could take place. We make a change of mind and attitude about sin the deed and thought and speech and do an about face from sin and sinful ways when coming to Jesus Christ for Jesus changes our mind and heart too for that to be possible for us (to be near to God also) & for us to be able to feel loved by God fully and weaned of worries because we come to learn we’re guilty before God and then learn to depend to come to Him and remain re obey His Spirit-filled and Risen Life within. This happens by prayer first. Jesus is all we will ever learn or know about God for He consummates everything we will ever be apart from Him by a fire of baptism from Himself He alone can burn the chaff of and change you by showing us an exact representation of God the Father(see Hebrews 12:1-3; 1:1-3.) He in His LOVE comes to us with open arms, heart, mind, and life, before us this Treasure from God we have in earthen vessels. We turn & repent and surrender to Him and actually feeling changes thus when we relinquish release of control to Him we feel this His love happen in us. In addition, to feeling a release you will actually BE a believer. Transactions take place before God. You’ll Experience God’s love first for the first time perhaps, and come into His atmosphere in-breathed on in love Agape by Him and you get love, peace, and joy! Then follow as a disciple! He does save when we take this promise by faith and it is making us complete and whole in Him, a work in progress. We receive forgiveness of sins firstly. We are receptive to the Word and come to Father and His Throne and are like receptive trusting children. If God said that settles it. God dealt with the sin issue on the Cross. And when He died, our lives were exchanged for His Perfect Sinless Life. In addition, in Himself dying, we were in His Death. We died too. He made us alive in we coming to Him first dead in trespasses and sins unable or at the end of ourselves or to lift ourselves up by our bootstraps at all. But now as born again Christians now you can live a resurrected raised up to newness of life spiritual seating with Him in the Heavenlies in a fruit bearing life. We are nobodies without God. With Him Kingdom of God fruit bearing in life is possible and without is a potential unparalleled if you continue to believe and by faith you will get heaven’s ticket too. But then endure with patience to the end, your race, persevering nourished up in the words of truth enjoying spiritual food, spiritual exercise, and daily foot-cleansing from Jesus Christ and as ministry to the Lord give also of or by yourself to God with your life. As the saved by faith we're living by the Holy Spirit from the way open to the tree of life (Jesus Christ) not from the tree of the knowledge (or i.e. from man's failure to obey) in the Garden of Eden. We receive the Spirit of God with great relish. Instead of fleshly wisdom, we gain deliverance over sin & those obstacles, which hinder, which are the world, flesh, and the devil and finally win in His Victory as we are saved if we prevail to the end. You ask God for this. God and you are a majority. You need grace from God to stay renewed in mind and Spirit in the Word of God. Having made mental assent, commitment to, and follow through accepting Jesus Christ for yourself trusting do not think without having the mind of Christ all over you like the unsaved heathen don’t have nor do the problems they do have Romans 12:2. "Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you might prove what is that good, perfect, and acceptable will Of God," the verse goes. Christ cleans His fish and Christ builds His Church. We present our bodies to God in 12:1. We are renewed after knowledge in Him. “That I may know Him in the Power of His Resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable to His Death” Paul said that and within that communion, that He and I may have fellowship. That I may be found in Him having a Righteousness which is of God through Christ and not of my own. He is near. He is close. This is a worthy goal of pursuit. It is like having a sumptuous meal with Him, (have koinonia, fellowship or communion, and hupernikao which is overcoming victory) this walk with God in depth, a daily discipleship in the way in Christ and in my heart to relish Him cherish Him is the Great Good News of all time. My heart knows no bounds, my joy unrestrained and because He lives, I too live, and can face tomorrow because I walk close to Him. We read His Bible and learn of a spiritual life which but for the tip of the iceberg is invisible. Love from Him requited by us now was initially compelling evidence that He wants total possession of us from the Father God's love letter compelling, the Bible & its being revealed in us through Special Revelation, the Bible, from faith to faith now to submit to Him and do serving to Him through salvation gaining upon ourselves. Today (for today is the day of salvation the Word says) we can see we need Him, we need salvation and spiritual hunger is there from Him. We need to look into the face of our Father and see He is approving in His look when we fail. Hunger must be channeled. We are highly favored and loved. We do not lose heart. He wants to guide us with His eye. Flow in Him. Scripture says of the New Birth, "I will put my laws into their hearts and on their minds I will write them." In our mind, heart, and spirit we are renewed daily, fed, and nourished to be adequately equipped for service for Him. Pastors do that. For all of what of three years and thirty years before that of the Life of Someone Named Jesus Christ whose name means “He shall save His people from their sins,“ whose life over two thousand years ago has been preserved so well and been a legendary influence to an infinite-seeming amount of people by heritage He did show He exists and prevails! Christians who belong to God started hospitals, Orphanages, Lost And Founds, Schools, and Social Services. Imitating God and miming Him in a grace walk of faith with Christ daily in our crucified life in Christ and ultimately in Heaven He is revealed in us and in going there into Resurrected life is from His doing from start to finish. Born of God born of the Spirit ushered in we worship God in spirit and in truth. We are enlightened and illuminated about this GOD in the Bible: it is unveiled to our heart and mind if we read it in the New Covenant with open faces for He has declared Himself in plainness in the Gospels, Acts, and Epistles for us to believe the Gospel for ourselves that Jesus Christ has Finished the work forever and live like it is! God created us and He claims complete ownership of our being as Creator Redeemer Designer. "If we lived like this Book is real for one week, men would repent in ways we don't know about.” was a quote by a historical figure I believe was from Charles Finney. (RATTLE ME SHAKE ME by HONEYTREE- A song of ministry (a song on the web blog.) The Steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. We experience God in kindnesses and mercy daily and moment-by-moment blessedness! I pray you find the Lord Jesus Christ as contentedly as Your Master & Savior Lord was of you & He becomes in your personality and life Savior & Lord from sins and sin and near or close. Jesus said, “Blessed is he who is not easily offended in me. “ You can do so by God's grace become the Friend of God, of His Family, a part, a member, and be accountable individually as stewards. It is all in Jesus. Jesus Alone. Believe on Him and abide as saved. A son abides forever but a slave does not! It means God casts off your captivity and/or buys you with a Ransom off sin, for you a slave of sin before then sets you free now to sonship. The real freedom is freedom from sin, which Christ does for you. Freedom is never free nor is it cheap. Again, I say God allowed His Only Begotten Son to pay a very high price for your salvation. Realize, "The greatest deception of the devil is tried by him (in tempting) to make us believe he doesn’t exist." Read The Screwtape Letters by Lewis. And without Him we can do nothing, and we indeed do nothing (we know this) without Him until we know what this grace is really about and even then follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth through faith by grace "practically,” a disciple, redeemed from sin and in submission to Him. Christ is our all in all. Surrender control of every area to Christ. It takes a moment to be saved and a lifetime to stay saved. This is principally because of the sin principle and sin nature. We are perpetual students of His Word. We relinquish our past. We press. God in His mercy makes us 'alive,' we being dead in trespasses and sins. We are made alive from the dead while in the body. This is the new birth. Reckon yourselves indeed dead to sin and alive to God. As Saved. Romans 6. Jesus knows our sorrow. He is acquainted with our grief. And the chastisement that brought our peace was laid upon Him and by His stripes were and are healed! We know His pathos and ethos more each day! The Certificate of debt (in the handwriting of ordinances which was against us,) is and was destroyed which was against us God having nailed it to His Son's cross Col 2:13, 14. Our faith is in God for a believing belief that "it is finished" and that the war is over with people, and within the moment by moment tug in the battle, the battle belongs to the Lord. God is in control (of us,) if we let Him and He is Lord. God calls us His Workmanship, His Poem, His Field, & His Building. He calls sin finished with, in turning to Him and death dominated and destroyed and sins taken away. Eternal Death is the result of sins wages (Romans 6:23.) "You are so beautiful," as Zephaniah 3:17 so creatively sings to us while others within the Body chime in, while we are indeed re-created in Christ Jesus for good works which we're foreordained to accomplish Eph. 2:10. We cherish Him as we realize all this blessedness and bask in God’s Astounding Opinion of us. (Read Ralph Harris’ Book.) Our part is to deny self, take up our cross and follow our Lord Jesus Christ. Then we are to obey His commands. Phil. 4:1-3, 6, 7, 8, 13, 19. However, there are hard sayings of Jesus to hear and hearing is to be obeying in Hebrew culture. We endure as good soldiers then in submission to Christ in hearing them to do them, having acknowledged them and honoring His Authority to give them to us. WE FIND SO MUCH IF WE'RE BELIEVING GOD BY FAITH IN VIRTUES GOODNESS BY GRACE BUT UNWORTHY OF IT THOUGH BUT SAVED BY FAITH KNOWING, THAT GOD IS FOR US Rom. 8:30,31. He will begin to process the fruit of a Christian life in and through us in the Spirit. That is a hallelujah not a sigh. PTL. There is no condemnation in Christ Romans 8:1. Moreover, you are sealed 'in Christ' like eternally secure saved unless you walk out of the Father’s hand, but you won’t want to do that. Stay on target. Instead you will identify with Christ in His Death, Burial, and Resurrection life in Christ manifested in you and by you by this new identifying of Jesus Christ because it is in Him you are saved. You stay 'in Christ' like you are in a cup. Remaining in the Lord with satisfaction you are in a war with the world, the flesh, and the devil, which Christ won for you. We are walking out that victory as believers in trench warfare as Christians: believing to see Jesus go before us in the Spirit everywhere, for the Spirit and Presence of God goes before us everywhere in every situation and we are victorious everywhere in Christ by faith over everything Romans 8:37 (hupernikao in Greek, overwhelming triumph of the Lord.) This is staying in Christ. But we learn to suffer for doing right. We learn to abide in Christ while doing the right thing in a normal Christian life. Read the work by Watchman Nee. This is the message of the Gospel. In Heaven, there is no more trace ever of evil or sin in the Presence of God in Heaven for us see I Cor 15. We will certainly have new bodies then that are sinless and in the Spirit then fully and completely. We are awed by God's wonderful Power and Presence within us. As a good Father and Farmer winnows away chaff with His winnowing fork in His Hand so does our Heavenly Father God winnow our lives of impurities. And He loves us greatly even in trials of all kinds even to have our lives being used and cleansed heatedly to be clay pots with His Treasure about you to do His bidding. Our endurance is like buying the gold God wants. God purifies even like coal in an oven until we’re diamond like. God once saved can use you. Are you available to Him is the point. We must not be offended by anything God does for us that we fail not to like. He does not tempt anyone at all but does intervene in an organically curative role miraculously in you. God helps others and they feel His reach and become born again, through the Holy Spirit Who is persuading them. Or of His work in us to do the work of an evangelist we attempt to convince by preaching the Gospel to be saved by His Persuasion of the Gospel facts through the Holy Spirit convicting them and us Messages of Messengers. We are the Messages and in our personalities we are the Messengers. Jesus brings us to faith in Himself for a Divine Blood Transfusion. I plead with you to be saved. II Corinthians 5:19-21. Will you come to God 'Just as I Am?' the song goes? God chose this accepting of Jesus Christ as the way to confound the wise, the worldly wise, the disputer of this world, the ignoble & foolish who turn, & are born again: this is God's way to be saved in accepting the Son's obedience applied to your heart in His Death/Resurrection the ultimate reach of God to a man providing His Sacrifice Atonement for your sin. They go to live lives of faith and redemption in obedience to the Holy Spirit's ways and they follow after the Spirit being followers of Christ by grace. They live the Christian life one day at a time as a grace walk and love walk like two sides of a ladder. (As also, they came to Christ, so they abide and stay with Him, and walk in Him Col. 2:6; John 15; I John 2.) They weep but rejoice. We're laying up treasure in heaven growing in grace in Christ with God's Kingdom inside with a quality of love so astounding we think majestically. We give cups of cold water in Jesus’ Name and receive one another as we would Christ Himself with Agape love acted out for them. We receive a righteous man and a prophet so we may receive a reward like theirs. We give and learn to give more. And we don't own any of the gifts of God! we are useful. but humbly and cautious we feed the servants of our God in God's timing and not dissapate with our lives and then be ready for the Host of the Wedding or Lord of the Vineyard, when He comes. and so we occupy (actively be ready) for Christ's return, and are being desirous to be like Christ, as impossible as it sounds ultimately as He lived His life until He comes back (which is a discipleship challenge.) It is through the Holy Spirit's work this occurs through an outlived walk step by step In His Steps. We make good ground to hear the Word in others and primarily ourselves so we be changing of heart always. And your ticket to Heaven is by faith through grace, not of you, not of works lest any man should boast. And a ticket can be held by someone beside you until it is not in abeyance, meaning the resurrected Christ within. We are not religious; but we maintain a relationship with the Lord! Truly we 'love God' with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength in two commands, namely the afore and "love your neighbor" "as yourself," which is the summing up of all the Old Covenant/New Covenant Laws. Rejoice. Pray and ask God for salvation so you can live ready too. You are God's masterpiece when specially known by God appreciative of His ministry toward you after salvation and then redeemed. You’re also safe in God‘s hand as you live, and move, and have His being obeying. It is also an abundant life for we exchange our sins for His life express within and outwardly express it as well! After salvation or becoming saved YOU are then being a thank you epistle to God (letter is an epistle in Greek,) written on our hearts by the Holy Spirit of God within and without with the laws of God in the Spirit with the Names of God. With everything within, with zeal also we follow Christ and be disciples as saved in the ways of the Spirit through Christ the Risen One. It is by grace from start to finish this abundant life in zeal sparked in the Spirit in and through Christ to Eternal Life, is lived which starts now. “It is through much tribulation we must enter the Kingdom of God,” Paul said in Acts as encouragement. From Dave Candel with the Holy Spirit’s aid. P.S. Mt. 6:33. For it's a transformation a Wave of the Spirit or particle within of light becoming beams that are becoming NEW life we live in Christ not a reformed one but newness of life in the Son S-O-N. God promises to bring His Promises to pass and finish what He starts in you New Creation in Christ Phil 1:6; Gal 6:9ff; I Thessalonians 1. Go For Gusto with God in His Love! I John 3:1. But its all of Christ the promises are fulfilled and to be ‘in Christ,’ is when you get the portrait of the Son meaning you GET THE SON and all He holds in abeyance and inheritance FOR YOU! Let’s pray and lay hold of being found in Him not having a righteousness of our own but HIS! Follow the Lamb wither-so-ever He goes! Hearing is obeying in the Hebrew culture so let’s OBEY and trust!

Overcome in the workplace and marketplace!

What joy may come! Since Jesus came into my heart! I have a peace in my heart no one gave me. Since Jesus the Savior came in residence I have the same circumstances but Christ has made a difference. I'm not interested in what this world can sell me. I have fortitude because my way to God is I can draw near! Compassion for the lost and a love for The Lord is how I am and meant to be! When the devil comes calling I can hang up because I'm forgiven and have renounced the ways of shame. Trading my sorrows my sickness I can receive ministry from our Lord for He loves me! Do you know my Jesus? He is Lord. Friend. Obeying the Holy Spirit I can humbly bow a bondslave to the Master and His way. Jesus rocks! Following after the Spirit I can be the best worker my boss needs and efficiently perform the duties to glorify God in my career dream job!

Revelation gives us a picture of gold tried in the fire to purchase! Not what you think!

A blueprint for intimacy with God Who is Holy and Loving!
But how could God be Holy and Love at the same time? God will love them (anyone without Christ at the end) but because of their rejection of His plan He can't be with them (in a Source of sustaining order - Holiness.) The Apostle John wrote inspired from Jesus to the Church at Laodecea, "I counsel you to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, and white raiment, that thy nakedness do not appear..," in the third chapter of Revelation. The white raiment speaks of the robe of righteousness Christ gives every believer.
You're saved by the Living God in repentance from your old way of life in sin to a transformed God kind of life and saved to a newness of life: to your newness made new of Eternal Life made practical at anytime for you indeed prepared by God that you should walk with God and humbly lay down your rights in this earthly life of yours for that Spiritual Life He offers in relationship to prosper. Living the Christian life isn't in self-righteousness but in a Risen life in Him, not a rose garden promised life nor silver spoon in the mouth life of ease but a crucified substitution exchanging your life for His Death imputed in trusting Him in over-abundant help in mercy and grace on Him to help in time of need. Living as a Christian isn't silver or gold in having but not neglecting thanksgiving and grateful spirit for other such things as are what Christ wants, contentment and a commitment. Bad stuff occurs still but somehow you live content. It's not about accumulating stuff. We hold lightly to 'stuff.' He will fill your needs like a filling station because He's a good (Source) and don't presume upon that to a convenience delicacy so, but cautiously you must rely on Him not like you feel you need them but as He sees fit you need them for Psalm 23 says, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." God is the only good Being absolutely. He meets needs like a good Daddy or Father of excellence. He must go from Creator to being good Dad and Father in thoughts. This is opportunity and challenge to know Him as Savior and Lord as well.
Wisdom cries aloud in the streets! Come in to God's House! Let Him feed your Naos (Holy Place.)
A FAMOUS T-SHIRT READS: "HIS PAIN, YOUR GAIN." AMEN.
Do you want to go to Heaven? My Grandfather was asked that when He was an unbeliever or until when what one might be called a person is, saved. The question was asked by a neighbor friend in community who is born again Christian. He thought, "can one in my religion enter or be sure of Heaven?" He went to a Bible church and heard about getting saved. He found Christ and the Holy Spirit proclaimed and was radically changed. The Church is the Bride of Christ, male and female and full of workers for His field and God wants you to be a member of His world-wide Family Romans 7:1-4; Eph. 5:23,32; Rev. 19:7-9.
Don't think I'm religious, or stuffed shirted or more righteous or even self-righteous to an extreme for any religion's purpose or its thinking this way or for using the word Heaven to separate two groups or kinds of people even haphazardly like saved and unbeliever; for God can translate you into His Kingdom instantaneously. You can find being saved in your local Bible-believing Church being taught, where the Holy Spirit is found locally incidentally. Jesus is the way the truth the life John 14:6. Have you ever thought of why don't I make sure I have it right with God? I'm not talking down on anyone in a condemning or condescending way. Who is he that condemns? Yea It is Christ that Died yea that is Risen! Who shall lay any charge to God's elect? It is God Who justifies! John 10:9 applies. God's way and life is sure filled with natural goodness in abundant love, kindness, and gentleness to give to you in Christ to give to others and one's family and for meekness. God transcends creation and exists outside His creation and apart from it. Pantheism would say He is everything but that's not us. He is Holy above all things. Yet He intervenes. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? No one and no thing. Signs or signposts point us in His direction. Trust beckons. But you can walk away. But even then He will continue to love. Grieve not God's Holy Spirit.
Have you if you're an agnostic or unbeliever, however asked yourself, why don't I seek Him whole-heartedly and be Born again as Jesus said to Nicodemas, a son of Pharisee who came to see Jesus at night? Being saved is being born again. If the Bible IS the Word of God, and it is, as it states that it is clearly and plainly right and in saying so in its contents, backs it up in fulfilled archeology through history factual. Then in God's terms why not belong to Him by second birth or born twice, as the Bible says to do? For if it's by the integrity of Christ's words and of the Bible being inerrant, infallible, and by verbal plenary inspired being meaning every word of every thought in every thoughtful thought-filled line in the Bible is Divinely (Appointed) Anointed thoughts from God the Source and the claims of Christ real; words from God Eternally given but in time sprung from His mind and heart that He wants communicated to His people and by His Spirit He bore along the Biblical writers by, then why don't I do (live) my life His way? You can be right with God! In these last days God has chosen to speak to us through His Son. This is in Hebrews 1:1,2 and everywhere New Testament.
And, "if my life doesn't line way up with Him now why is my life doing a lifestyle that way (and so can it change it if possible) and then (it) can be a righteous stance to then line with scripture somehow. It takes confidence in the Finished work of the Cross. Prayer for a born again saved relationship asking God knowing you're wrong before Him and need His saved relations with Him through the Son is important for your destination. God can keep you from stumbling and is able to make you stand blameless before Him inside in your walk with Him inasmuch as Christ is wanting control of my heart as Resurrected influence by the Holy Spirit and gentle wind. Yes. And as we keep ourselves in the love of God is His imperative with this promise, (see Jude 22,23 a New Testament book of the Bible,") Jesus said, "You must be born again," in John 3:3. I'm not talking about a sinless life or a blocking out of Satan, the adversary alone, but a life of good in potent pungency in Christ, in patience looking unto Jesus expecting mercy unto an eternal life in the Spirit of abundant life spark in Christ Jesus and peace expecting fellowship/koinonia that goes on to being conformed to His image and succeeds in finding an ignited fire to God and others (like Moses at the burning bush, a fire that wouldn't go out,) and getting to Heaven someday overcoming obstacles in life with style and flair in/of obeying Christ from the Holy Ghost Romans 8:1-3.
You can have the assurance of going to Heaven! It's not about better standard of living nor education alone but obedience unto holiness and the end: eternal life. You can be an educated sinner but like a tea bag immersed your nature and the tea bag leaves change! This is in salvation but must be accepted. Better to be God's obedient bond-slave. Real love surrenders and surrenders to God in day to day challenges. Call upon the Name of the Lord to be saved. Agree with God. John the Baptist didn't have many miracles in his ministry yet of him it was said, "none is greater" in the Old Testament than he as Jesus said. And anyone else in the New Covenant being first greater than John Baptist is thus and so in the Kingdom of God. And of not many more in the New Covenant was it said that they were, "full" of faith and the Spirit than Stephen, the seven deacons (Acts 6,) and Barnabas and a few apostles. But all must be saved indeed Christ Died for all. Jesus came to lead us to a spirit of fullness in we being born again and He being the Fountain of Living Waters in John 7 and by Baptizing us with fire and the Holy Spirit: A perpetual fire that glows (and grows,) is had.

If someone comes between you and God who's closer? The point is will we get close to God? The devil is a created thing. Don't let anything created steal from that which is perfect. Let no man/woman come between you and God or let that situation stay that way. Forgive. Do it for yourself and God in His way and Timing which is restorative of relationships and reconciliation within to yourself and others or unilaterally if need be. Perfection does not come under judgment so have grace to get along with most people and have salt. Grace and patience with kindness from God is needed for this most times. A great question some people ask is, Will God stop loving people in hell? How could He stop? Love has no barrier, wall, nor limit to it. God will love them but because of their rejection of His plan (continually (Hebrews),) He can't be with them. He is Holy. The lake of fire is real and its hot. It will never go out. But as people without the Lord have lived rebellious and have stubbornly gone their own way when Jesus is right there to be known intimately by the Holy Spirit convicting they will be punished because the light of good works glorifying the Father in Heaven is continually present Mt 5:16. God's mercy will have run its course in the life that now is someday. The warmth of God's love then becomes consuming fire that no longer benefits in hell but warms in Heaven. Consuming Fire eats that one unsaved from illicit desires inside out in torments and unabated fire (in hell.) The Great Divorce by CS Lewis shows what hell might be like. People will burn with wants of greed and lust and hate as well without limit and anyone being the object of their malice BUT themselves in torments. They have not rightly related to God's love by repentance and changing through conviction so God will just leave absent His temporal blessing and little do they realize that will mean everything they relied upon gone because it was not faith in the Son or the Source, God. When God's fire is not rightly related to, it is un-tame-able and His plan is obscure to the unsaved not living in His revealed will and they will wander in the pain of hell even where they will want to die but not able to: forever eternally will they burn with sulphur tormenting fire. There will be weeping and nashing of teeth.
Do you desire or want a relationship and/or restored fellowship with your Heavenly Father God of peace love and joy? Justification (Romans 5)? Do you know God loves you more than you could ever love yourself? God will always love you more than you could love yourself so be glad you're very mightily beloved! Here's a hug: He is a personal God! He loves you more than any personal human being or angel will or could! God IS love and strongly He provided His Son as deliverance from a sinful world. Did you know that God requests the honor of your presence at a Marriage Supper/Positive Uplift Judgment to be given someday in Heaven for you and God's Family by grace and mercy but it has a door or window of two-edged sword which is the 'Word of God's' sword? God's love for you is no less stupendous and fabulous, now! That makes Jesus your Savior if you heard right and in celebration of Jesus, make Him your Master and Lord. Believe His words. THIS LIFE ABUNDANT IN Jesus then IS IN POVERTY OF SPIRIT IN HUMILITY of SPIRIT without a lot of 'stuff' in God's Son: Who is Jesus. Jesus is Lord!
Did you know that Christianity is a better life and is more about repentance and confessing you're a sinner (in nakedness of exposure to God bluntly speaking before God) than externals or pie in the sky but broken down to it's relationship it's in fact living from the inside? The Bible tells plainly of our Living God and Savior, Jesus Christ Risen and as our only Exalted Head, and Lord in evident victory results and His plan for each individual is secure if you lay hold on it. He as the Bible says, causes God to hear us from Heaven above from in front of the Throne and seated, the Lamb sits (Jesus stands on Mt. Zion in Rev 14:2) from between the mercyseat of the two facing Cherebim of the Ark in Heaven, and talks to us. We can't get chummy. Everytime you call Him Lord you're telling Him you're a slave! And that's a good thing for our service to God (in military of reception and action) will not go unrewarded there nor unrequited spiritually here. And relationships of purity in Him can't be legislated or legalized or reduced to Pharisaism if they're real and deep. It's the freedom to do as you should instead in the New Covenant of God's agape love. Augustine and Chesterton have said, "No man has the right to do as he pleases unless he pleases to do what is right!"
Jesus (and the Bible affirms) is the only Prophet, Priest, and King necessary for men to get to God: (and we're raised with Christ) (in submission) to newness of life in His Access to the Heavenlies by His Finished Work and Perfect Death and Resurrection for us. We believe in the priesthood of all believers. His Love for us in propitiation is meant FOR US to satisfy for sin's atonement on mercy's sake; it brings a great great good holy right standing with God through Jesus Christ to believe in Jesus Christ's Finished Work.
Jesus's Life showed us and shows us how to overcome as He. He, filled with the Holy Spirit having freshly come from His Baptism and hunting of the devil down for 40 days and nights for which He had come into the wilderness like a Rambo and left like a Patton full of the Spirit confidently in control with the Father in Him He demolishes strongholds doing so much good the earth could not contain the books that could be written. He overcame in nikao (greek, triumphed.) He puts on our weakness and remains sinless in ways we know nothing about. Jesus takes the test you failed and gets an A. Who can explain the Trinity? If it gives you a headache its supposed to as our Pastor Rich says. God doesn't want a law to legislate holy lifestyle; He wants a relationship II Chron. 7:14.
Jesus was more than an example, He was the Carpenter, the man from Galilee. He became sin literally so we could be free and go free and become lovers! Atonement full and free is ours. God's LOVE so rich its wonderfully amazing!!! The Gospel is Good News. It's great good news! Do you think of salvation as a getting right with God aright? Do you know having it right in your relationship stance is a lifetime journey with God and starts in the now and is forgiveness of sin and sins and the experience of knowing God aright throughout your lifetime and more and more (in Him?) God loves you and is love! He didn't spare His own Son! Scripture reads, who is he who condemns? No one. Do you know God promises to all a newness of life, with renewed faith to you through the Gift of His Son by really coming in faith through grace to Him alone Who is Faithful and True and remaining? It is the year of God's favor, the Year of Jubilee in essence Isaiah 61:1-6. You can know fullness of truth and fullness of the Spirit in relationship with God through Christ (but you have to come.) It is spiritual but is practical in application on many levels. But by grace, unmerited favor, you are saved, not of yourselves, not of works lest you or anyone boast. "We are,"
scripture says, "more than conquerers through Him who loved us!"
God promises to reveal Who He is to those that seek Him (with the whole heart if you strive for the prize and wisdom.) This happens through the Holy Spirit's attracting and our participating and then believing Jesus, the Person. Ever hear, "curiosity killed the cat?" Not in this case. In essence you throw yourself on the mercy of the court and you were declared innocent by virtue of what Jesus Died for. That's not head knowledge but heart knowledge if you can get it inside you. Proverbs says, "If you love instruction you will love truth but if you hate correction you're brutish." God the Father won't pluck you out of His hand if you stay there in being saved. God is after the heart is important. It's not where you've been but where should you be now in God's Timetable. The Spirit and the Bride are calling. Could you have the guts to follow Jesus Christ, God's Only Son even in the hard places (which can mean, not for stuff?) Feeling Adventurous? Not for the queasy nor bored for sure. Awake to righteousness!
It's about watching what's coming and what God's going to do with you to use you today! And the adventure tomorrow. What do you want from Him as you pursue Him? Tell Him. Ask, seek, knock. God opens to those who knock. People find when they seek. Ask and you shall receive. He wants your attention to get saved, a mental assent, committment to/follow-through that starts inside, and is seed on good ground, and becomes Holy living as Gift: a law or principle of the Spirit of Life if you will, until we come to see Him as He is. Someday in confirmed righteousness where every thought will be a righteous thought in Heaven we'll see Jesus. He has a job for you to do (until then.) He has by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus broken down to eye level the veil of the law of sin and death and its disappearing. It's written in the spiritual heart or the part of you, you surrender to God, you win! Endure to the end. What's won for Christ is forever. Only what's done for Christ will last. What shall it profit a man if you gain the whole world and lose your own soul? I've been a little redundant but the emphasis is not for personal advantage but to win a soul. He wants to be in an intimate personal relationship with us through His Son, attending Church, (Bible literal taking one,) have fellowship with others, restoration. Let's live life as a bondslave to His Masterful way in fullness, faithfulness, and love for believing on Him, supping or fellowshipping with Him. This is all a defining part of the life Our Lord Jesus Christ calls our dining with Him to be to live in I Corinthians 13 continually. It's an excellant exciting prospect to know God experientially, a Bill & Ted excellent or noble adventure only holy through the covering of the Blood of the Lamb on you. It's: "If in this life only we are the only ones to hope in Christ of all men we're 'most miserable,'" but with enhancement from God the Holy Spirit to miraculously prosper. Jesus said, "I am come that you may have life, and life more abundantly," in John 10:10. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned the Bible says I Corinthians 2.
A hidden mystery exposed by God and revealed: your life hidden with Christ in God means in Essence an Abundant Life In Christ Colossians 2,3; John 10:10! Jesus being the way, the truth, and life in adventure full and free believing in faith and having experience: the Word of God, the Bible: I or we exist for God's purpose to be in right relationships with people and in a right relationship especially with the one and only true and Living God Who gives us richly everything to enjoy. Evangelical faith (which is a Gift I believe/receive from Him) is exousia and dunamas (greek, authority and power) to believe in Christ and in Christ for salvation and become His children John 1:12. We humble ourselves as little children in coming to Christ.
We in an obedient walk in God, all the time can learn from His ways: what He's done, what He's doing, and what He's going to do in the future in you and me and what in Christ can I do in His Word BY FAITH! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever Hebrews. With men these things of salvation, healing, deliverance, and safety are impossible, but with God all things are possible. Do you recognize His love over you? Joyously? hilariously? With tenderness and joyfulness and even hilarity? His hand is mighty. He is a mighty warrior in our midst singing over us rejoicing over us with tenderness kindness Zephaniah 3:17. He quiets us in His love singing over us rejoicing again in song. For its not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord. We glory in tribulation and even first glory in the glory of God rejoicing in it Romans 5:1-8. That love is spelt l-o-v-e with much agape toughness and tenderness, blessing under His hand, & lovingkindness from God. Lovingkindness is sandwiched between God's love and mercy. He has given you prevenient common grace for your many needs and wants: food, clothing, and shelter under His hand. His chesed, Hebrew word is hard to pin down as it's superb 'lovingkindness'! Its like what Mephibosheth received from King David at his table and in the way of lands restored following Saul's and Jonathan's dying.
When you think of faith do you have a certain object of your faith? Is it holding you to something or SomeOne? It matters this object of faith because Who He is (this Jesus) is the Incarnate God become man. Love chooses continual the right object. He's that Object of faith. God revealed Himself in a tabernacle or tent of human kindness (we can relate to) called Christ Jesus the Only Begotten Son of God born in a manger 2000 years ago. That makes Him worthy of our commitment to be worth our devoted worship. Literally Jesus is God by way of the cross. For there's no formula nor method to Holiness or to God this way but Christ He is the way! Are you walking in His Footsteps? Carried by Him? At Calvary? Are you ministering to Him accepting what is your lot, trusting His Grace this very hour? All Christ said and did we're growing up into and even, "all that's said about Me," Jesus said, "in the Law, prophets, and the writings."
We're sinners and you can fathom that fact if you realize you're not perfect in many facets; because your lower nature sins, you're a sinner before God; therefore we need help from the broken way we live as humans from the Holy Spirit. Even really you're dead if you don't know God, the Bible says in Ephesians 2:1-4. Spiritually you can't do a thing to save you without salvation from God Himself alone John 15. You may hari krishna or yoga but its all in vain if Heaven is your goal if you need to meet God on His terms. God would search you inside thoroughly if you invited Him to, and love on you; to say that you need Him, you can find a new life in Him, (the way is God in a peace in a Covenant agreement between Himself and you: A New Covenant Union through Jesus.) Has your life been hell so far? Some people gravitate only to God when they go through deep despair, catastrophe, or tragedy. This life will be the worst you will have of hell unless and onlyof course if you come Jesus for real and inside for salvation and commit.
God loves you and wants you to soar and fly in living (Greek: in nikao, victory from Easter conquerering through Jesus, overcoming with Christ) to work out mightily between Him & you what is a good warfare of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus within fighting in a present charted by God scheme of good o'er evil, love for God and others like He does love us unconditionally if we realize it. Jesus joined so freely God's plan. He lives in our hearts. We, overcoming evil with good, knowing His Will, doing His Will, in a personal spiritual adventure and experience of Him follow Him to be known by Him in fellowship moment by moment for you two interacting interact. For in God's Only Son Jesus, in His Fullness of Resurrected Shekinah Presence there is love, joy, peace and pleasures at His right hand forevermore and this is all in knowing Him personally and then corporately in the Body of Christ locally more and more through Jesus Christ once and for all on His terms, as saved by the God-man Jesus, the mediator between God and man. We need to renew our minds.
He Who was Resurrected as God's Representative of Love Sent from God for a lifetime journey of joy (of our own from Him) brings through Him He working through you and on you so you can change (Metanoia metamorphoo, greek repentance and transformation) a new life, and we must have Him inside and this starts with forgiveness of your sins. The Holy Spirit welcomes you warmly to become transformed, called, Chosen to be in God's Family with enthusiasm, en Theos, in God (in greek: to be excited to be in God.) You get a new heart and a new mind, and a new spirit from Him. You are transformed in the renewing of your mind. It's a life of significance because your life influences then on what happens for all eternity in a positive fashion for those you lead and influence. Jesus rules your life as Lord in salvation by the Spirit. It's still in a relationship of walk of faith, faith being a noun Pastor says, as believing is our stance. As ruler and King Jesus has the last word.
God is Holy is the primary characteristic of God. And He's buying you a Ransom He paid yes He's even started before you were born into this world by a relationship He's paying in justice satisfied by the penal substitution at the Cross! This is a Gift to know the incomprehensible God. God cares for you! Indeed He does. He knows every sparrow that falls, and He watches you.
Salvation by faith is a word expression that is an offense to the world being that they can't understand it an affront. Scripture says, "if any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him." What is the sin of the world? Unbelief. Unbelief particularly in Jesus as the Son of God the Only Begotten Son Sent by God. Unbelief in the corruption of within if you will a sinful nature that loves to lie, cheat, or steal, and unbelief in your being a sinner as a result of the sinful nature re: a wretched, poor, blind, and naked self before God but also unbelief in the work of Jesus Christ. Unbelief leads to worse: unbelief. Like the law of entropy or disorder it (law of sin and death) takes over and you conceive sin instead of look to Jesus lifted up. Inasmuch as one doesn't love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and their neighbor as oneself, there's sin in it. The pride of life, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes are all of the worldly sins as well we avoid. God wants to deliver you from yourself.
(Obedience within God's Salvation) to God through Christ on the other hand begins (God knows when) outside you, you hearing the Voice of God and the words of scripture particularly the Gospel reading/dictating to your body to the Plan of Redemption from the Bible or believing it and committing to it, discipled, walk a separated life from the world. God draws you near. You draw near. You hear the still small voice of God to repent and get separated unto God and seek Christ and His righteousness at a local church altar is how it starts; God responding too in the Living Gospel, to you, He gives you worshipfulness, a gift to stir up. You witness it outside yourself sealed by the Holy Spirit. You're supplied with a Gift, the Holy Spirit, to be Baptized into by Christ, as a Second Work of Grace but you ask for it. What you do with it makes all the difference in your life and your Eternal Life in the world but not of the world or as we believe: the life to come. God is Holy in character and nature and separate from a sinner. Christ's Blood is the bridge to span the distance between a Holy God and yourself.

Christ is our foundation bedrock righteousness and the Source of all things we need and every blessing to which we boast in Him alone. We're in His Presence in a special way when saved and interceded for by Him (Throne room) and known by Him for Heaven rooted and grounded by love and built up in Him with passion for then we're inbreathed (greek: theoneustos, by God,) translated into His Kingdom of God. It is a Kingdom of lights from the Father Who never turns. But supernaturally in Him we live and move and have our being. We are kept by Him and live before Him in the heavenlies. For you have to get saved for this to happen for Heaven in eternity. Then you can seek God within the Body of Christ to maintain your responsibility for unity love. Salvation first. We're His Temple, the Naos, (greek: The Most Holy Place,) inside.
Gal. 5:16 says, "If we walk by the Spirit we will not fulfill the desires of the flesh." (& of the mind.) Jesus left earth when He ascended and sent the Spirit in His place. Jesus Christ is the beginning and the ending, Alpha and Omega, the same yesterday today and forever as was said for our faith in scripture, "As Commander In Chief of the Lord's Armies, Yeshua Hommiashiach," "He is here," (Joshua 5: a Theophany of the Old Testament.) IN the New Testament we're within actually the Temple of the Naos (Greek: Holy of Holies, of God and containing the Holy Spirit) and useful conduits of the Holy Spirit, & we're having the Shekinah glory of the Presence of God on our faces and inside exciting us!
For those who believe Christ's Message then receive His grace for their salvation then don't do works of righteousness on their part for 'brownie points' before God, as they would be appreciably acceptable (ceasing from their own works instead as Christ did from His alone Hebrews four.) For salvation is by faith alone through grace alone. Sola fida sola gracia in Latin.
But as you have received grace for grace, receiving imperative from Jesus as your own koinonia responsibility: gold, silver, and precious stones to lay at (Jesus's) feet in quality of serving and set apart things you abiding in Him do in God cooperating litmus test and you will do the in obedience of faith (Romans 1 phrase) in quantity also: you will continue in being gratefully saved ministering to God being a messenger of God's good news by grace, a disciple. It's a picture within a relationship with God. We are created masterpieces of art painting God approves of in the law of the Spirit of life by obedience. Education alone can only go so far but surrender to God, obeying, and the Holy Spirit inside sanctifying taking control can go a long way to take the Christian life to visible and invisible in Him, but bright and kept nonetheless.
Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord and Lord of Heaven and earth and will be as every knee bows when his enemies become His footstool for his feet and Jesus returns. If you've come to Him, ie. as a childlike disciple 'born of God' type person *you will please Him having been sent the Spirit &
indwelt. This is by faith within & with the help by His grace infused without from God and rekindled from the Holy Spirit inside & outside and its possible first becoming born again a Gift of salvation from God on His terms. The seed of God becomes imparted to you or implanted in you drawn near. All things are possible to God though with men impossible: on a next level a higher plane by walking in Jesus abiding in Him and in dependence on Him. The Lord can lift your feet on higher ground. We develop in cooperation a new heart and new spirit He gives us from then on.
Receive Him in your heart moment by moment like you would a familiar trusted friend or in a childlike trusting way by the way you live from then on bearing fruit. He is able to help you do this trusting, to save you (from sin) and keep you personally fully and really ministered to, obediently found out transparent (naked before His Sight and clean) like its written in our Lord's parable in Luke 15 says: a sinner 'saved,' coming home to Him and in Psalm 139 inviting God to search you out. But you have to come. There God writes through Luke, "He rejoices and invites others to rejoice even over one sinner who repents." You start to experience His love practically! and then just by hearing it from the Spirit proclaimed (through a person's intervention) and you taking it in and responding with 'a word therapuo (greek meaning healing: yes, to Him) and of perseverance,' HOPE you get built. You determine not to defile yourself with sin from then on.
And if you're saved, living by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and the Rapture occurs while you're living in Christ and honoring a disciple's relationship to God through grace from God and in fellowship (let me emphasize it's by faith and grace or faith working by love,) you can be caught up in ("rapizo" in the orig. Bible languages, 'caught away' 'snatched away') in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall you ever be with the Lord Jesus and be at that special Marriage Supper! Even so come Lord Jesus! Maranatha! Doesn't this sound like something you'd like? or learn to like? Read I Thessalonians 4:13-17 and I Corinthians 15:1-7ff for instance, and maybe St. John's Gospel chapter three verse three to about sixteen about being born again. Gaining rescue by Rapture you miss The Great Tribulation and White Throne Judgment. to come on the whole earth. Read Revelation and find from Chapter 4 on there is no mention of the church. We're Raptured from the great hour of trial to come upon the earth. "We were not appointed to wrath," Thessalonians. As His Bride God would treat us appropiately and spare us from that hour of the Seventieth Week of Daniel and Israel's Jacob's Trouble.
In this context, come to Christ humbling oneself as a little child saying, "God be merciful to me a sinner." This was said in an open appeal by a brokenhearted (and statement faithfully made by a) Tax-gatherer of whom it was said in a parable told by Jesus as one who humbles himself before God this man having beaten upon his breast saying words like that. Jesus told this parable about people who think themselves righteous and show contempt for others. The other man in the parable, the Pharisee said, "I thank Thee God that I'm not like other men, I fast twice in the week, etc. and I'm not like this publican." Certainly this man has no clue for his saying this. This parable shows a humility Jesus taught before God by the publican instead who being in the right who came home exalted and justified having humbled himself in a single simple but great way before God. You can be like this person. Simplicity and solitude, submission, and service are outward "vices" we need from the Spirit!
If Jesus is your Lord and you are His child, remember mercy triumphs over judgment when humbling yourself before God under His Mighty Hand and God will love you to hell and back in the whole process of getting to Heaven. Don't test Him or resist Him but believe Him. For God wants you to think of Eternity in the attitude you live your life with now. God wants to give you His purpose and His plan. Do what He wants. Be Who you are in Him. I'm proposing God is love and Jesus shows it (all along our way) Jesus having died in our place on the Cross so He could show you how and what to do today specificly & particularly!
There is a testifying in every believer a witness unto Jesus His Resurrected Body speaks louder one on one of forgiveness, power, Dunamis: that first by Death Jesus Paid It All then sealed the deal by His Resurrection all in a regard to our sin debt. It's all too clear that the deliverance over sin Christ won to gain our salvation for us was complete and full over sin, death, and hell; His Death and Resurrection did this completion or Tetelestai (Greek: Finished Work.) It's clear in His hupernikao (super victory, greek) Resurrection triumph we have from Him, that we have the love we show others by the way we've been forgiven without cynicism and then on, is how we live over sin in victory. It's all in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus inside you working itself out. It's in Christ's law of love exposed and in action performed. Jesus puts a new man in our shoes. Pastor says read John 17 to maximize your hearing in praying for GUIDANCE.
Christ became our sin on the Cross and it's punishment II Cor. 5:21. We become God's righteousness. In a very real sense we are Ambassadors. After He died, being buried (we were too,) that's when He rose from the dead; He made us alive whole, complete, & kept individually directed in His path in salvation in New Wine that must be put in new wineglasses. He satisfied the Living Requirement of The Old Testament Law demands. That's why it's said by God's Voice and by us lived out to on purpose and with determination, glorify Him, and with admonishment all our lives as (ecclesia, Greek for Church,) the called out ones, as witnesses (maryturos in Grk.,) and as testifying 'believers' individually in our Temple bodies of an undivided Faithful God and His Word: to proclaim Him and provoke each other to love and good works in a local body of fellowship.
And we shine for God and live shining our lights bright for Him for we'll be martyrs also in part because our Ransom paid for us was costly and we treat it costly grace no matter how we're treated. All live who in godly way are persecuted for being with Christ thus but in a real sense are blessed. All therefore who desire to live godly (subject and suboordinate to God) in Christ Jesus are to communicate the Gospel in a hostile world freely intensely and will suffer persecution, some to torture and being persecuted by men and, and some even to death and eventual Everlasting life. If they kept My saying they will keep yours Jesus said. Jesus said also, "He that is not against us is for us." If we endure and/or suffer with Him He will confess us before the Father and we will reign with Him in Eternal Life in a special sense of reward in Heaven for that. John wrote, "Don't marvel that the world hates you for it hates Me," Jesus said. Jesus was hated because His works were righteous and there's were evil.
How you may ask, did mankind fall and get into this malaise? The Word of God states that "IN BEGINNING" (No article "the" inbetween those two words in the Genesis 1:1 account in Hebrew,) given as plain fact that by His speaking into existence God creating the cosmos on the sixth day creating by His fingers or hands, then every man He created in the image or likeness of God.
God created him or her in the Garden of Eden and He rested on the seventh day. That's rest He rested meaning the work is over in having Finished it He having been slain from before the foundation of the world. It's time to be on His side in a fallen world. It's in the image of God Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, were created from the dust of the ground by His hand or fingers and Breath (an Anthropomorphism,) which shows God's intricate care for us, and love. Because of the Fall of man in the eyes of the Lord, Failing Him God's Spirit died in man & man's spirit died.
God would walk with man in the sunset portion or cool of the day as He did to fellowship/walk intimately as He did before this. Adam and Eve were seduced to the serpent Satan's schemes & misdeeds and this caused a substantial crises to God's man. God had made the command to not eat the fruit in the center of the Garden of one tree, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Every other tree was good to go. God said not to eat of it, the tree, for you will die, in the day you eat of it. It was bad fruit. From it all who were born from Adam die. But they did eat, and though man was still made in God's image and had free agency, he didn't die physically right away but he did die spiritually right then . And though he and she loved to fellowship in the Garden with God and he and she in lieu of a walk with God that twilight dusk to grow, they instead failed God's test. They failed to believe in God's final authority His love overall while they went after the lie that they were in charge. Adam had abdecated his responsibility being the head over his household. Adam lived almost a thousand years in mercy but he did die. Death showed that sin was in the world.
And man made fig leaves to cover his and her nakedness at an attempt to reconcile their blunt disobedience before God but that was a flop and so God made provision of a clothing covering from sacrificed animals without help from man that time. That Miracle God did, to produce the Redemption of the likeness and image of God returned happened though God was blameless and Holy (without taint from any failure of man,) and faithful. That was mercy, not getting what we should deserve. Redemption for a worthless slave to buy (who long had law and grace defied,) is available.
Even today in a born again spiritual way, getting saved as the Word says to, based on the events of two thousand years ago on the cross, you can be free to live in Him a love slave to God with this covering coverage from God of forgiveness 'in the Eternal Plan' the down payment of Jesus's sacrifice for us to obtain a sinless body soul and spirit someday in Heaven by first getting saved down here. Salvation is forever if you wanted God's plan for youself and remain in Jesus believing His Person obeying God and in various aspects of fruitbearing having been implanted or imputed/imparted with Christ's seed, the sperm of the words of God, the Word of God, rhema, and Logos, living an abundant life in Him prosperous. It's a holy moral life at times we live but spontaneously more, infinitely precious, and specially a very close walk unique with 'what  Jesus would do' only you're chasing the Spirit and not letting Him drag behind but struggling to keep up without growing weary to obey the Lord's voice up close personally near and in surrender. It's spontaneous not static too.
With obedience and perseverance for Him on your part in life in Him and living in His Plan and His Faithfulness you can truly expect God to move in you and on you for you in your behalf as you INHERIT THE PROMISES OF GOD. God is indeed a Rewarder of them that dilligently seek Him. Not for cadillacs or merchandise we seek. Hebrews eleven goes on to say, "Some died (believing) not having obtained the promise." It goes on to say, "Of whom the world was not worthy (Hebrews 11.") The problem with America is we have digressed and exaggerated the Gospel to include money and health and happiness in name it and claim it tactics and tricks claiming the promises of God at a cost to the core imperitives of Jesus Christ and this has made us lukewarm and non-compliant too in praying, pursuing, and obeying Him and adhering to cheap grace instead and arrogant. Personal Revival and True Discipleship is at a premium but from God alone that is strictly for those who have it and know God in being saved. Blessing can carry and overtake unsaved. Having Jesus and the Word to obey and to have no other motivation internally or externally one may experience His rain! Religion kills. Jesus comes to make us alive! He ignites! He sets us ablaze! He lights our lone candle and revives!
Surely and for certain that likeness of God/image of God in relation to salvation we find returned in godly hope God inside us transforming us in certain belief expectant and in anticipation that doesn't make us ashamed because the love of GOD HAS BEEN shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit we find God helps our belief to stand Romans 5:3-5. God is able to make him stand. God lives in an Eternal Plan in Now but He has in time intervened in human affairs like the universe is in the span (distance from the tip of the pinky to the tip of the thumb in an open hand,) of His hand and continues for in Him all things consist and held together Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2,3. This makes us glad & confident in Him that He is Sovereignly in control and we are not. We reign with Him if we endure with Him suffering wrongfully. Try not to suffer for your own faults but just suffer for doing good in Him as you follow Christ in the way.
So in salvation through the conduit of God's love His Son for you and in your love for Him too in fellowship of steadfast hope of Another Kind in the Body of believers of Christ in the Holy Spirit: faith in Jesus Christ for salvation: come to believe in it unto Eternal Life and a Life In The Spirit, a walk with God solemnly cautious.
We're just aliens and passing thru in this life. Remember Pilgrim's Progress by Paul Bunyan? JRR Tolkien & CS Lewis as Authors and Characters in God's Family? Their stories, extra Biblical fantasy novels and non-fiction writings are faithful. On the other side of life, wrong desires war against the soul vexing us. "Sin is crouching at the door but you must master it. If you do well won't your face show it?," Genesis says.
Eternity is a very very long time and our lives are but a vapor. It's on my theological plate to believe that the desire for God and desire for the likeness of God Himself, the aspects of the image of God in man in a body with a created soul clothed in a spirit in other words His image is unique in this existence on earth and *that it was no accident. God makes you reflect the unique you the best you in God's image you were meant to be, or in other words the you you always wanted to become. If God said, "abstain from pre-marital sex," I believe Him. We can put on clothes of Christ's making with Christ to enjoy a life in the Holy Spirit. As Jesus is Lord indeed overtaking us after coming to be saved to God the Holy Spirit clothes Himself with us: is God's pleasure. This is from Samuel Chadwick. This is truly God's spiritual unassuming privilege for empowerment to live a holy life of intimacy with Him. Intimacy is where the power is. Only Jesus has the words of life. We eat them. Father God returned at Calvary, all we lost by Adam and we gained it back BECAUSE His love reconciles us and restores us IF we go on forward with Him. He IS SHOWING US LOVE, revealed in the Son of God Jesus.. in His Incarnation.. in His Sacrificial Love.. in His Birth/Nativity, Life, Death, Resurrection, Ascension, Exaltation and Glorification and Seating.. for our Redemption of the purchased possession.. who  are, we who "privileged in benefit.." choose to be His bondslaves.. and chosen! Nothing beautiful in and of itself in us but all from God is what we believe!
In His LONG-HEARTED EXCITEMENT TYPIFIED AT THE LAST SUPPER BY HIS PASSION-shown Sovereignly appointed timing at the Cross God proved the plan He put in place in the fullness of times will work for you by faith in its longevity in history re: hospitals, universities, and orphanages built, even every changed life coming to God through Christ by worship we lift up holy hands to God by in the Gospel.
If we enter at some point and believe with a persevering belief in Jesus as
Savior that acts on grace alone to be saved we won't build our kingdom here but His, to build on that foundation gold, silver, and precious stones to present to Him and we will hear a voice behind us saying when we turn to the right, or to the left, "This Is The Way, Walk You, In It." We take one step at a time in His Footsteps. Then we stride along in His marathon in salvation in a swagger. Read the Parables of Jesus and you'll encounter the topsy turvy aspect of Christ's Kingdom (Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven) over and opposite to this world's thinking. But you need a saved mind to be transformed. Continue continually a relationship and not just religious jargon or only 'fig leaf' religious behavior to do. It's a New Covenant or God's Agreement that being all things new, this salvation becomes new when applied to you in you II Cor. 5:17. It's a new life filled with new works preordained for you, to accomplish Ephesians 2:10.
God's attitude toward us is one of Favor that is for us for a God-sized timing particular that is of punctilinear (point in time, greek tense: aorist active indicative) happened and keeps going, saving faith belief stand starting at a point in time (continuing) established where we confess our sins and agree with God and based on the merciful observation that God was in Christ on the Cross reconciling man to Himself! And He has comitted to us a word, even reconciliation! I pray you in Christ's Place, Be ye reconciled to God! God is love! Tell your problems how great your God is! And not how great your problems are, to God. "With God we shall do valiantly," Gideon said.
The Bible says, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." If as you or someone else may claim, "I have no sin," then I ask, "where is the glory of God in your life?" "For all have come short," it says in Isaiah 59:1,2. If we call upon the Lord we will be saved individually. God loves you.
A Wise man will hear and increase learning! Grace Grace To It (God says in Zechariah!)
For Him who has ears to hear. We walk by faith, not by sight. Listen to Jesus. Hear HIM.
