What Does A Holy God Demand? A Holy Life In His Son!
JESUS LIVED, DIED, WAS BURIED, AND AROSE AGAIN! This is the Gospel: Meaning Good News!
The Gospel: Coming To Christ. How Would You Like Or Feel Up To Being An Intimate Friend Of God And Live An Abundant Life In Christ From God Now In This Life In The Preparation For And Of Utopia/Paradise In Heaven? If so, do you know He loves you. Do you know what extent God went to show His love: this wonderful unconditional extravagant sacrificial love? Please read on. Do you believe He would like to find you (as He did Abraham, Moses, or the Apostle Paul) and give you such an abundant life now and in Heaven as they obtained? God is no respecter of persons. He rewards the individual. God wants our availability. He wants us in relationship With Him and attending Church (hint,
here is mine: Bethel,) God gives us faith to believe which is a gift! Do you recognize He loves? YES, Oh How He loves greatly in this. Do you have an object of your faith? It matters because the object for God in Christ Jesus saving, Christ Himself makes peace and it is our faith's decision for God is the only choice for your object. There is no formula to get there. There are no glib phrases to repeat, but in Christ is the way! You can draw near to God. You are a sinner and you need to know the way and God loves you strong. For in His Presence yes there is fullness of joy pleasures at His right hand all in knowing God through Christ, which starts with forgiveness of sins from God and is so real in the results: Eternal life starts at the Cross. Living the Christian life is not in self-righteousness but in Him. Christ is our righteousness and we cry for our sins give Godly sorrow working repentance not be regretting. Self-glory as we put a part of self-effort to work to get to God aside in the Spirit through Christ. Christ came out of an empty Tomb to fill our empty hearts. Therefore, let us sit at His feet. Christ is the end or fulfillment of righteousness to all who believe rather than work for those who exert effort on their own for their righteousness are doomed. As you have received Christ Jesus Savior and Lord, so walk in Him. He is able to save and keep you warm, intact in very abundantly living in Him in His love to the end or the death you die. If the Rapture comes: you are living in relationship to God by faith through grace and 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!
Doesn't this sound like something you would like? Alternatively, learn to like? Love maybe? Read I Thessalonians 4:13-17 and I Corinthians 15:1-7ff.
In context, "God be merciful to me a sinner," was said by a Tax-gatherer who was in a parable told by Jesus as one who humbles himself before God beating upon his breast. Jesus told this about people who think themselves righteous and show contempt for others. This parable shows humility before God by this publican who came home justified and exalted having humbled himself before God.
In keeping with the line of reasoning I'm proposing that God is love and Jesus shows it: We all must bow down low before God and accept His way of Rescue from the sinfulness and insidious ness of sin in this world we have committed. Just by coming from Adam, we are responsible. For we all were in Adam when he fell. A testifying that Jesus Paid It All ->that the deliverance over sin Christ won to gain our salvation for us was complete and makes whole for us all; it follows...WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN! First Background:
The Word of God says God created man in the image of God. That's the image that fell from grace and though Adam and Eve had a fall and that brought substantial crises to man and that this happened just as they disobeyed God's command to not eat the fruit God said no to eat as a direct command, man was still made in God's image and man made fig leaves to cover his/her skin but God made provisions without help from man for that redemption of the likeness of God to be returned. Even today in this very moment God loves to order your life anew and that likeness or image of God could be there for you & for me and I can see in my mind's eye in the unknown for me on my plate to believe the likeness aspects of design-architect of Father God our Creator in us in His natural creating acts and in the finished work on Calvary was as well all because of His love. Without regard for who we are and in His Amazing Unconditional love, His LOVE SHOWN US, and His long-hearted passion-shown in long suffering patience Sovereignty sacredly appointed was for us for a time particular of being saved in time because of grace of saving faith. My observation 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,) and is for eternal express purposes and grace from God. These eternal purposes are worth every circumstance or suffering we experience being ordained of Him no matter how desperate in our path we squirm as we acknowledge Him in all our paths. And as we take the faith to be saved He will show up in His part on our way to being cradled into heaven by Him or ushered in by Him! God is Love! Do you know the word in scripture; "Christian" is only mentioned two times but the word, "disciple" over 350 times? He does not come in the front door and thus to go leave out the back door. He came to stay when we see our need as sinners and warmly invite Christ inside! He came in greatness to show to us His faithfulness.
That is in Exodus and I believe everywhere else… Another Prophet like Moses was Prophesied to come and is Jesus. Israel believed in the future that he would come as Messiah!
Jesus was called, "the friend of sinners," "a glutton, and winebibber," because He knew the work of God and loved them (infamous sinners) but did not engage in their sinful practices. Jesus pleased God very much not only obeyed Him and so much so He was declared to be very God by men and by angels. Not for anything He did so to speak but for whom He was, He pleased God. Believed on in the world, He could see in every man there's a HURTING--- HE ONLY COULD KNOW AND HE ONLY SAVE, pouring healing in, exactly where the human condition 'needed' (for) salvation intimacy with God and men for this to happen He being God Incarnate and with His Holy Nature on He came for man's benefit and gave up His godly prerogatives to do His own things. He is either Lord, liar, or lunatic if you read the Gospels as clearly as I did and we do. You have to decide. It is right to believe which one? He is Lord! Because He even said, "If you can't believe what I say, believe on the basis of the very works sake." In addition, what lovely works! He never spoke out against anybody & never did harm to anybody in any written recording of the Gospels. He was as gentle as meek Moses and more (as a Son, Hebrews says) but He entrusted mightily His life to God in obedience to pleasing (not just rote obeying,) but by God's grace obeyed the Father, and lived in a 'GODLY PLEASING WAY TO GOD,' when it conflicted as many a time it did: re: God's plan with man's.
Jesus also said, "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto Me." This He said speaking of His Death on Calvary and Risen Life after. He also said, "The Kingdom of God is come near, therefore, repent, change your mind and your attitude." He predicted His Death and when it would happen. He came a Preacher of relationship to God as Father. He called God His Father and accepted worship having made Him equal with God Divine, and in kenosis, the self-emptying. He defined the way to God with exactness. His act of laying His life down in Crucifixion Death is the demonstration of God's love, which I will explain.
So it seems that dream aspects of our humanity 'Utopia or Shangri-la' or Heaven we dream of, concerning the next life & its destination, theoretically (from one generation to the next) come from God and are in the offering
if we're believing God through the Son Christ Jesus. You see God wants us for His own. He wants us to talk to Him & really talk to Him and listen! As for born again saved redeemed renewed individuals, we are made in the image of God, or else we are unsaved humans in the flesh, existing in doubt and offense on our unfortified way to hell. Jesus does the saving and conviction from the Holy Spirit follows. Existing in an angry building up of sinful nature tyranny and the uncanny sinful tyranny of lower nature of within oneself barred from being the 'in' crowd if we are in the Adamic flesh of the old sin nature by result we fail. Jesus makes the difference in a life bound for heartache and defeat. He came to save the lost in sin, ruination, the sinful, bruised, battered, broken, and shattered. Does that include you? Like Paul before Felix, 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 or fearful nor any stepping out of bounds or sin making so the Honor went to Him the perfect sacrifice Lamb for sin. If it was right, Jesus did it. However, acting way good was very cool for Him. HE SPOKE IN ELOQUENCE AND VERY WELL IN FACT AND ACTED KINDLY TO PEOPLE HE TOUCHED AND HE HEALED DIVERSE DISEASES FREELY AND IMMEDIATELY INSTANTLY WITH ALL KINDS OF HEALINGS AND DIVINE INTERVENTION MIRACLES THEY OCCURED. He spoke in a different way to the Pharisees who thought themselves good enough and who despised God's way and other people, really Pharisee, Sadducees, teachers of the law, and scribes that kept the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law. Jesus healed across racial lines, from a distance, and by various means and by spoken word all who came to Him. Even the storm had to be quiet when He spoke to it. He touched the sick and the world could not contain the books that could be written concerning what He said and did this Jesus the Mighty Healer the Great Physician of Galilee. "However, these are written that you might believe Jesus is the Christ and that by believing you Might have life in His Name!" This is actual words from John's Gospel!
One's conscience then in hearing the still small voice of God and in the Word, the plan of God purposed by Himself in the revelation and receiving of His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ reveals God's Will: His blueprint plans, can turn up the heat on your own lifestyle OR bring His Victory if your 'in Christ.' These are two sides of a street. There is freedom then in knowing the cross and Finished Work God performed through Christ and the salvation for sure in certainty of His Character knowing His Holiness & Righteousness exists/Is His Nature of Character, is Perfection (until you bear fruit for instance.) This belief in God through Christ Who is the Personal Being Who loves us everlastingly and unconditionally embraces us in the New Covenant by grace which is unmerited favor from Himself & He also wants to get involved in us particularly and in our personality to get His hands and fingers in our lives through faith and in the Spirit working. We are His hands and feet. He has with indiscriminate and extravagant sacrificial unconditional STRONG EMBRACING LOVE for us saved us for we are told about this in the Bible: given us forgiveness of sins & deliverance as benefactors. God's love is unconditionally applied to us all but we are accountable individually to accept it. You will see God provided salvation through His Son's Sacrifice Death which is objective in that Jesus died for everybody: to be subjectively applied to each individual 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. He is both Provider and Provision!
You have believed certain things if you desire or have this subjective application of salvation to yourself according to His Word primarily in Christ and on Christ. Following this way of God through Christ we find the plan of God in that there is peace with God in every situation and trial you find yourself in after salvation in being justified in the Spirit by Him, and sealed, spiritually complete and saved and on the road of righteousness through Christ. If you're saved spiritual things are spiritually discerned abiding in the Son Christ Jesus, and spiritual laws, like laws of viscosity and momentum in science are either observed in a laboratory of life or learned about as an education from textbooks of the influence of the Bible in history of human affairs. (For there are three kinds of men according to Will Rogers that great American: The ones that learn by reading? 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 everywhere serve Him in Christ and that means everywhere make Him Lord, and see God in the face of Jesus if we are born of the Spirit. Knowing becomes sitting, walking, and standing. 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 to lift us up from sin for its a law of spiritual obedience for the saved in Christ. Vices or addictions like sins of the spirit or flesh we receive deliverance from and are not the narrow way and straight gate of scripture. This is objective truth God wants to help us sift through. The Bible says: People tend to want to run the gamut of sinful addictive habits by getting drunk or high and away from God in his/her conscience. Condemnation which would erroneously tell them its ok, is followed by conviction rather which would lean us toward God's spiritual answer, salvation of soul and spirit which is right. Listen you are somebody because God do not make no junk. God is not angry with ya because of the Cross-. He loves you and has forgiven you. Jesus dying on the Cross is a proclamation God allows us say to you. God's way out or a spiritual salvation in the Spirit is we have a sinful nature that sins of tendency and that must be forever dealt with by nailing it to the cross of Christ. Every soul of everybody is eternal and will find a home in either of two places. We are talking nails here as in gain salvation for yourself before it is too late. We know God's command to never sin as unsaved individuals as far back as Adam and Eve. But. To look upon evil because the Ten Commandments looks grim is all wecan do because it's our lower nature to disobey and to rebel without this Person of God's Choosing, Jesus Christ at the helm. This is no excuse because all this is tied to the will. God looks down upon the bunch of critters we are and He sees us in our need in Adam and our messes but doesn't like us to harm ourselves which sin does (Greek word for sin is harm-atia, ie. sin harms.) Because of sins and sinning, we have stopped short of His glory but sometimes-bad things happen also because we live in a fallen world. We have broken His Laws and come short. We have trespassed His glorious message. Have you confessed this of yourself to God alone? He says, "If we have sinned or failed at trying one law we've failed at trying them all," see James 2:10. At times yes we stop ourselves in our tracks: re: become convinced of this breaking of God's heart by us and begin a personal relationship and working winning dialog with our Creator His way. Only God can save a lost soul but He indeed then does that supernaturally and so to make him/her a sinner clean and white, in fact as white as snow or wool inside who is a sinner admitting he/she sins before Him if we come to Him by His way once and for all through His Son. This means we get justification, just as if we never sinned! to get saved, to embrace Christ's salvation for you and He taking away your sins and you stand in right standing forgiven and become saints who follow Christ thereafter by faith through grace in prayer and being in the Word becoming a disciple of Jesus’ in lifestyle by faith in the Spirit. Imagine going through your whole life living it in follow through enduring to its fullest animated completely by God Himself through Christ the Son as a disciple or follower of Christ? It's not a surreal dream but reality, being not in the world but "in the Spirit," all things of God new in new wineskins, new creations, renewed, saved, & "in a new birth." After salvation we put on the New Self which is created in true Holiness and Righteousness which is Christ Himself which is not a step for there are no steps to sanctification. This is being made holy which Christ does alone for you. Born again you deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him. And follow through that is do what He says.
We can be a new creation outside as well within as the Bible puts it in II Corinthians 5:17.
It starts at God's altar you make in your heart in prayer at God's 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!
We can exercise obedience to the Son then in the Kingdom of God (to Christ Jesus, His Gift, in His Risenness, raised to newness of life, seated in the heavenlies, a disciple) in the Spirit: re: Belong to Him! By the Holy Spirit's work, we CAN BE THIS, for He changes us by transforming our lives as in a mirror to be in the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ in the Word. We go from faith to faith. 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 without Him. Hell indeed is awaiting one is such a state of affairs. Will you accept His Gift? Eternal Life? Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Strait is the gate and narrow is the way to life and few find it. Horizontally human loving people take the ladder vertically up to Heaven to God's love being right! Jesus DID have that perspective living pleasing to the Father in His love and in Jesus’ example He was a teacher but died to save firstly re us. Christ gave gifts to men. He lived far away from the edge of or near to any sinning. He took captivity captive. He arose up early in the day to pray to His Father and depended fully on Him. God was using unconditional love in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself in Calvary's Consummation: for He died on the cross FOR YOU, you a broken clay pot (a High price to pay) & God sought a way within His own Laws of Mercy & Justice providing Mercy drops around us are falling to save you in the Son's obedience and Death. Freedom is never free nor is it cheap. However, slavery is a high price to pay if not intervened for. Showers of blessing there are for God is so not against us or nor from a distance from us BUT calling us near through salvation and sin has made a chasm. When one is subsequently saved sins are taken away gone! Forgiven! There is a sea of forgetfulness in God's eye and He posts a no fishing sign. We make a change of mind and attitude about sin and an about face when coming to Jesus Christ for Jesus changes our mind 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 obey. Jesus is all we will ever learn about God for He consumes everything we will ever be apart from Him by a fire of baptism from Himself He alone showing us an exact representation of God (see Hebrews 12; 1:3.) He comes to us with our open arms, hearts, minds, and lives, this Treasure from God we have in earthen vessels. We turn & repent and Surrender actually feel changes when we feel this His love happen in us. In addition, you will BE a believer, experience God’s love first for the first time, and come into His atmosphere. You get love, peace, and joy! We come as we are in this belief in God in the unseen, or participation in His plan and transformation is God's intention and purpose and He does save when we take this all by faith making us complete and whole in Him. We receive forgiveness of sins. We are receptive to the Word like trusting children. If God said that settles it. God dealt with the sin issue on the Cross-. He overcame sin, death, hell, and the grave through the physical life of Jesus curing our illnesses and diseases His obeying God on earth even to a Death on the Cross. When He died our lives were exchanged for His Perfect Sinless Death and Life. In addition, in dying, we were in His Death. We coming to Him unable to save ourselves or lift us up by our bootstraps but as born again Christians now can live a raised up to newness of life spiritual seating with Him in the Heavenlies in a fruit bearing Kingdom of God 'fruitful-within' life and get heaven too potentially, by enduring with patience to the end, nourishing spiritual food, spiritual exercise, and daily foot-cleansing from Jesus Christ. As the saved we're living by the Holy Spirit from the tree of life (Jesus Christ) not from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (or i.e. from man's failure to obey) in the Garden of Eden. Instead of fleshly, we gain deliverance over sin & those obstacles, which are the world, flesh, and the devil and finally as He saved us. You ask for this. 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, & to not think like the unsaved nor have the problems the unsaved 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 builds His Church. We present our bodies to God in 12:1.
That I may know Him in the Power of His Resurrection and fellowship with His sufferings within that, that He and I may have fellowship near. This is a worthy goal to pursue. It is like having a sumptuous meal with Him, (have koinonia,) this walk with God in depth, a daily discipleship way in Christ and in my heart to relish Him is the Great Good News. My heart knows no bounds, my joy unrestrained and because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Before being saved God calls and it has been known in nature by something called General Revelation to know Him in nature for salvation but to talk to Him a sinner only. However, if we look back at our past honestly, God was preparing for our salvation. Love from Him requited by us now was initially requesting possession of us from God's love letter the Bible & its being revealed in us through Special Revelation through our conscience now to submit to Him. 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. 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, and spirit we are renewed daily, fed, and nourished to be equipped for service. For what of three years of someone named Jesus whose life over two thousand years ago could have been preserved so well and been an influence! Imitating God in a grace walk of faith with Christ daily in grace/favor unearned and ultimately in Heaven going there from His doing from start to finish born of God born of the Spirit we worship in spirit and in truth… We're enlightened and illuminated about this in the Bible: unveiled to our heart and mind if we read it in the New Covenant Gospels, Acts, and Epistles and believe the Gospel for ourselves 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 John Wesley.
The Steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
We experience it in kindnesses and mercy daily and moment-by-moment.
I pray you find the Lord Jesus Christ in contentment as Your Master & Savior Lord of you & He becomes in your personality and life Savior & Lord from sins and sin. 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. 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. 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 to make us deny he exists." In addition, he does tempt us with his minions at deceiving schemes, which the whole world lives under. Nazi Germany teaches us that. There is a quote, "in living the right, one sometimes doesn't do the privilege right thing the right way." Chesterton said, "The path of least resistance in rivers and men makes both crooked." "The soul that sins shall die and the soul that sins then is a slave to sin the Bible says in two places John 8:34 & Ezekiel.
We need God first in every way, first for us to say thank you to, getting saved, worship and praise for every provision of Calvary to be revealed in us and to us, rejoiced in, and confess to Him that we're sinners who've disobeyed His Laws before Him in His sight and are sinners who then need Him to become saints at the cross by prayer and faith and continuing belief. Jesus makes you one saint. We need to obey the Holy Spirit's leading for our life's direction by grace & to ask questions and dialog with God daily in a God consciousness not sin consciousness in the light of finding forgiveness to be reality freely given within in Him then on. Following in Christ in the Spirit God's ways we're sanctified by Him and daily confirmed with a highpoint connection to God Where we stay attached high daily through "uprights" of goalpost (football kicked) with great confidence through the Spirit in receiving from Him. We live for the goal unto Him nigh of His grace which allows us to live lives pleasing to Him knowing that we're accepted in His Beloved by His Blood and that without Him we can do nothing, and we do nothing until we know this is true and follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth through faith by grace "practically", a disciple, redeemed from sin. Christ is our all in all. It takes a moment to be saved and a lifetime to stay saved.
This is principally because of the sin principle and sin nature. God in His mercy makes us 'alive.' We are made alive from the dead while in the body. This is the new birth. Reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God.
Salvation is entirely by faith by grace in God's sight in the Spirit from Him brought to Spirit-led living fruition in spiritual DNA in new motives God gives based on the finished work of Christ from which He draws us, & is evidenced by faith from start to finish. Making Jesus Lord is a part of being in the Spirit then. God raises us up to walk on top of mountains then. He is the Savior. He is Lord of the valleys as well.
The Certificate of debt is and was destroyed which was against us Col 2:13, 14. Our faith is in God for a believing belief that "it is finished" the war is over with people, in the battle, the battle belongs to the Lord.
God calls us His Workmanship, His Poem, His Field, & His Building. God calls sin finished with, in turning to Him and death dominated. Death is the result of sins (Romans 6:23.) "You are so beautiful," as Joe Cocker so creatively sings and others, while we are indeed re-created in Christ Jesus for good works which we're foreordained to accomplish Eph. 2:10. Our part is to deny self, take up our cross and follow our Lord Jesus. There are no such worries nor fear nor anxiety in the atonement really one needs a pair of sunglasses to see, it is so very good & so rejoices in salvation. Phil. 4:6, 7, 8. However, there are hard sayings of Jesus. We endure as good soldiers then in submission to Christ.
WE FIND SO MUCH IF WE'RE BELIEVING BY FAITH IN VIRTUES GOODNESS BY GRACE BUT UNWORTHY BUT SAVED BY FAITH, 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.
Moreover, you are sealed 'in Christ' like eternally secure saved so that you will identify life in God by this new identifying with Jesus Christ because it is in Him. You stay 'in Christ' like you're in a cup. 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. We are in trench warfare as Christians: believing to see Jesus go before us in the Spirit everywhere, for the Presence of God goes before us everywhere in every situation and we are victorious everywhere in Christ by faith over everything.
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. We will certainly have new bodies then that are sinless in the Spirit.
We are awed by God's wonderful Power now.
As a good Father and Farmer winnows away bad wheat with His winnowing fork in His Hand so does our Heavenly Father God love us greatly in trials of all kinds even to have our lives being used and cleansed heatedly to be clay pots with His Treasure about us do His bidding. God once saved can use you. He does not tempt anyone at all but does intervene in an organically curative role miraculously as well as in the world. God helps others become born again, through Holy Spirit is persuading of them or of our own selves to be saved in His Persuasion. We come in faith to Jesus for a Divine Blood Transfusion: it's a curative and corrective Gospel by the Great Physician, (how He God is merciful at the cross in which God is pouring out His redeeming reconciliation on His Son & us
if…)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 providing Sacrifice for your sin. They go on to live lives of faith obedience to the Holy Spirit's ways being followers of Christ right by grace. They live it one day at a time as a grace walk and love walk. (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.) 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 occupy (actively be ready) for Christ's return, and are being desirous to be like Christ, as impossible as it sounds as He lived His life until He comes back (which is a discipleship challenge.) It is through the Holy Spirit's work this occurs though in an outlived walk step by step and it is by faith through grace, not of you, not of works lest any man should boast. We are not religious; we maintain a relationship with the Lord! Truly we 'love God' with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength in three commands in one, namely the afore and "love your neighbor" "as yourself," which is the summing up of all the Old Covenant Laws. Rejoice. Pray and ask God for salvation if you have not already.
You are God's masterpiece then redeemed. Insurance is the best. It is also an abundant life we exchange for His life within outwardly expressed as well!
After salvation or becoming saved YOU are then being a thank you epistle to God (letter is an epistle in Greek,) written by the Holy Spirit of God within and without with the laws of God in the Spirit and with the Name of God. With everything within, we follow Christ disciples saved in the ways of the Spirit through Christ the Risen One. It is by grace from start to finish this abundant life sparked in the Spirit in and through Christ to Eternal Life, which starts now. Dave Candel
l Remember we take the faith to believe and accept it for ourselves. That 'if' becomes the condition on the salvation and the Bible wishes of the promises of God He requires simply and mainly our participation accountable to be. In that way He's JUST while giving away mercy, full and free for work is work as Romans says, and grace is grace but mercy is not just justice only from faith to faith and glory to glory but a special dispensation to live life in the now and sow seed for eternal habitations in mercy. Mt. 6:33. For it's a transformed Wave a becoming NEW life we live in Christ not a reformed one. God promises to bring it to pass and finish what He started in you New Creation Phil 1:6; Gal 6:9ff. Go For Gusto with God in His Love! I John 3:1.

Primordial soup created us all? Hello!? I Don't Think So!!
Well class, today we're going to learn a lesson called LIFEBOAT. Suppose class we're all in a raft, a lifeboat if you will. If a baby is born and on the boat what do we do to survive? Together, "throw the babyoutta!" why? We need to survive.
Folks, this is where our society is headed. It's look out for number one to make good the altruistic thought, "only the strong need survive." In this dog eat dog world Where indifference is the order of the day one should consider what would Jesus Do? Scripture says,"there is no greater love than for one to lay Down his life for his friends."
Some might question inquisitively, "why doesn't God do something?" Why doesn't He show? In fact He did. He's called us up by becoming one of our race of humankind. He will rule this earth with a rod of iron someday in His Kingdom. He doesn't do much more yet because of letting Gentiles into what is heritage of salvation one by one. At the Cross He did it all. It just has to be 'fleshed' out. At this time the Bible declares and explains as if it's revealed well that He has spoken in His Son, Jesus Christ! Hebrews one. Christ came to heal. Friend only what's done for Christ will last. He is Lord! He has left a day with His Son when He will judge the World in Righteousness. Until then God is looking for disciples of His Son! It's a hard saying but they will deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Christ! You must be born again first.KEITH GREEN SONG!!!

FUTURE SINS ARE ALREADY FORGIVEN! AMEN!
ASK SEEK KNOCK said...
So excellent Steve at www.gracewalkministries.blogspot.com. ! May I ask then what is the why, why do we sin? There are lists: Galations 5:20,21 is one, and Matthew 5-7, and II Timothy 3:1-10 are more..I believe there can be super linedrawn many lists of supposed sins of iniquity and transgression drawn from scripture in the New Tesatament to warn. We don't draw the line unless we accept the sinner first. Amen? Even so God judges after looking upon the heart. I agree with your blog we can omit doing right things and be wrong too but we have obviously to nail what is sin (guidelines unless the Spirit is telling you specific, right?please) to the cross, lest it become in ignorance our faults are an offense (or is it blatant sin (anger, bitterness, unforgiveness?) constantly looking for loopholes? I believe we should look in the mirror if this fits you or I or us as believers and stop this attitude,) of one upsmanship while we are attempting to walk and run the grace walk. Agree with that? Number one Paul in the Jerusalem Council said to avoid four things, "idol meat," "blood from things sacrificed," "strangled animals offered in sacrifice," and "sexual immorality." This leaves right living without any questions do you agree? My point is therefore self-explanatory but it should be out in the open forum here the warnings (Rom 6:1-4 is perfect synopsis of that as you did) to avoid The appearance of evil and to be fore-warned is fore-armed (Ephesians 6 about armor.) Is there a place far from sin at rest inside and in the Presence of the Lord fully alive (Zoe, God's brand of life) and that the Holy Spirit leads us back to it if we're not consistent in the living grace walk? Yes I believe there is! Thank God we do not have to motion the motions of sins that grace may abound nor anxiously live like to sin is any sort or psyched in, obsessive compulsion apart! I believe in Father's lap and living there like a weaned child in His arms!! We can do what we want! But if there is no free will and no rebelling we will want His Will and it will be our desire to be passionate & determined to live life to its fullest! Outwardly we will be others-minded in our adjustments and lovers of God not men-pleasers but God-pleasers! Christ will be our spiritual hunger from Sovereign God in reality! A hunger and thirst for God and His righteousness! Don't draw any line until the Spirit speaks and be God's agents of mercy, messengers, Ambassadors!
A BECOMING NEW FROM THE BEGINNING IN GOD'S LOVE
JESUS LIVED, DIED, WAS BURIED, AND AROSE AGAIN! This is the Gospel: Meaning Good News!
Saturday, March 31, 2012, 4:35 AM [General]
The Gospel: Coming To Christ. How Would You Like Or Feel Up To Being An Intimate Friend Of God And Live An Abundant Life In Christ From God Now In This Life In The Preparation For And Of Utopia/Paradise In Heaven? If so, do you know He loves you. Do you know what extent God went to show His love: this wonderful unconditional extravagant sacrificial love? Please read on. Do you believe He would like to find you (as He did Abraham, Moses, or the Apostle Paul) and give you such an abundant life now and in Heaven as they obtained? God is no respecter of persons. He rewards the individual. God wants our availability. He wants us in relationship With Him and attending Church (hint,
here is mine: Bethel,) God gives us faith to believe which is a gift! Do you recognize He loves? YES, Oh How He loves greatly in this. Do you have an object of your faith? It matters because the object for God in Christ Jesus saving, Christ Himself makes peace and it is our faith's decision for God is the only choice for your object. There is no formula to get there. There are no glib phrases to repeat, but in Christ is the way! You can draw near to God. You are a sinner and you need to know the way and God loves you strong. For in His Presence yes there is fullness of joy pleasures at His right hand all in knowing God through Christ, which starts with forgiveness of sins from God and is so real in the results: Eternal life starts at the Cross. Living the Christian life is not in self-righteousness but in Him. Christ is our righteousness and we cry for our sins give Godly sorrow working repentance not be regretting. Self-glory as we put a part of self-effort to work to get to God aside in the Spirit through Christ. Christ came out of an empty Tomb to fill our empty hearts. Therefore, let us sit at His feet. Christ is the end or fulfillment of righteousness to all who believe rather than work for those who exert effort on their own for their righteousness are doomed. As you have received Christ Jesus Savior and Lord, so walk in Him. He is able to save and keep you warm, intact in very abundantly living in Him in His love to the end or the death you die. If the Rapture comes: you are living in relationship to God by faith through grace and 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!
Doesn't this sound like something you would like? Alternatively, learn to like? Love maybe? Read I Thessalonians 4:13-17 and I Corinthians 15:1-7ff.
In context, "God be merciful to me a sinner," was said by a Tax-gatherer who was in a parable told by Jesus as one who humbles himself before God beating upon his breast. Jesus told this about people who think themselves righteous and show contempt for others. This parable shows humility before God by this publican who came home justified and exalted having humbled himself before God.
In keeping with the line of reasoning I'm proposing that God is love and Jesus shows it: We all must bow down low before God and accept His way of Rescue from the sinfulness and insidious ness of sin in this world we have committed. Just by coming from Adam, we are responsible. For we all were in Adam when he fell. A testifying that Jesus Paid It All ->that the deliverance over sin Christ won to gain our salvation for us was complete and makes whole for us all; it follows...WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN! First Background:
The Word of God says God created man in the image of God. That's the image that fell from grace and though Adam and Eve had a fall and that brought substantial crises to man and that this happened just as they disobeyed God's command to not eat the fruit God said no to eat as a direct command, man was still made in God's image and man made fig leaves to cover his/her skin but God made provisions without help from man for that redemption of the likeness of God to be returned. Even today in this very moment God loves to order your life anew and that likeness or image of God could be there for you & for me and I can see in my mind's eye in the unknown for me on my plate to believe the likeness aspects of design-architect of Father God our Creator in us in His natural creating acts and in the finished work on Calvary was as well all because of His love. Without regard for who we are and in His Amazing Unconditional love, His LOVE SHOWN US, and His long-hearted passion-shown in long suffering patience Sovereignty sacredly appointed was for us for a time particular of being saved in time because of grace of saving faith. My observation 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,) and is for eternal express purposes and grace from God. These eternal purposes are worth every circumstance or suffering we experience being ordained of Him no matter how desperate in our path we squirm as we acknowledge Him in all our paths. And as we take the faith to be saved He will show up in His part on our way to being cradled into heaven by Him or ushered in by Him! God is Love! Do you know the word in scripture; "Christian" is only mentioned two times but the word, "disciple" over 350 times? He does not come in the front door and thus to go leave out the back door. He came to stay when we see our need as sinners and warmly invite Christ inside! He came in greatness to show to us His faithfulness.
That is in Exodus and I believe everywhere else… Another Prophet like Moses was Prophesied to come and is Jesus. Israel believed in the future that he would come as Messiah!
Jesus was called, "the friend of sinners," "a glutton, and winebibber," because He knew the work of God and loved them (infamous sinners) but did not engage in their sinful practices. Jesus pleased God very much not only obeyed Him and so much so He was declared to be very God by men and by angels. Not for anything He did so to speak but for whom He was, He pleased God. Believed on in the world, He could see in every man there's a HURTING--- HE ONLY COULD KNOW AND HE ONLY SAVE, pouring healing in, exactly where the human condition 'needed' (for) salvation intimacy with God and men for this to happen He being God Incarnate and with His Holy Nature on He came for man's benefit and gave up His godly prerogatives to do His own things. He is either Lord, liar, or lunatic if you read the Gospels as clearly as I did and we do. You have to decide. It is right to believe which one? He is Lord! Because He even said, "If you can't believe what I say, believe on the basis of the very works sake." In addition, what lovely works! He never spoke out against anybody & never did harm to anybody in any written recording of the Gospels. He was as gentle as meek Moses and more (as a Son, Hebrews says) but He entrusted mightily His life to God in obedience to pleasing (not just rote obeying,) but by God's grace obeyed the Father, and lived in a 'GODLY PLEASING WAY TO GOD,' when it conflicted as many a time it did: re: God's plan with man's.
Jesus also said, "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto Me." This He said speaking of His Death on Calvary and Risen Life after. He also said, "The Kingdom of God is come near, therefore, repent, change your mind and your attitude." He predicted His Death and when it would happen. He came a Preacher of relationship to God as Father. He called God His Father and accepted worship having made Him equal with God Divine, and in kenosis, the self-emptying. He defined the way to God with exactness. His act of laying His life down in Crucifixion Death is the demonstration of God's love, which I will explain.
So it seems that dream aspects of our humanity 'Utopia or Shangri-la' or Heaven we dream of, concerning the next life & its destination, theoretically (from one generation to the next) come from God and are in the offering
if we're believing God through the Son Christ Jesus. You see God wants us for His own. He wants us to talk to Him & really talk to Him and listen! As for born again saved redeemed renewed individuals, we are made in the image of God, or else we are unsaved humans in the flesh, existing in doubt and offense on our unfortified way to hell. Jesus does the saving and conviction from the Holy Spirit follows. Existing in an angry building up of sinful nature tyranny and the uncanny sinful tyranny of lower nature of within oneself barred from being the 'in' crowd if we are in the Adamic flesh of the old sin nature by result we fail. Jesus makes the difference in a life bound for heartache and defeat. He came to save the lost in sin, ruination, the sinful, bruised, battered, broken, and shattered. Does that include you? Like Paul before Felix, 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 or fearful nor any stepping out of bounds or sin making so the Honor went to Him the perfect sacrifice Lamb for sin. If it was right, Jesus did it. However, acting way good was very cool for Him. HE SPOKE IN ELOQUENCE AND VERY WELL IN FACT AND ACTED KINDLY TO PEOPLE HE TOUCHED AND HE HEALED DIVERSE DISEASES FREELY AND IMMEDIATELY INSTANTLY WITH ALL KINDS OF HEALINGS AND DIVINE INTERVENTION MIRACLES THEY OCCURED. He spoke in a different way to the Pharisees who thought themselves good enough and who despised God's way and other people, really Pharisee, Sadducees, teachers of the law, and scribes that kept the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law. Jesus healed across racial lines, from a distance, and by various means and by spoken word all who came to Him. Even the storm had to be quiet when He spoke to it. He touched the sick and the world could not contain the books that could be written concerning what He said and did this Jesus the Mighty Healer the Great Physician of Galilee. "However, these are written that you might believe Jesus is the Christ and that by believing you Might have life in His Name!" This is actual words from John's Gospel!
One's conscience then in hearing the still small voice of God and in the Word, the plan of God purposed by Himself in the revelation and receiving of His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ reveals God's Will: His blueprint plans, can turn up the heat on your own lifestyle OR bring His Victory if your 'in Christ.' These are two sides of a street. There is freedom then in knowing the cross and Finished Work God performed through Christ and the salvation for sure in certainty of His Character knowing His Holiness & Righteousness exists/Is His Nature of Character, is Perfection (until you bear fruit for instance.) This belief in God through Christ Who is the Personal Being Who loves us everlastingly and unconditionally embraces us in the New Covenant by grace which is unmerited favor from Himself & He also wants to get involved in us particularly and in our personality to get His hands and fingers in our lives through faith and in the Spirit working. We are His hands and feet. He has with indiscriminate and extravagant sacrificial unconditional STRONG EMBRACING LOVE for us saved us for we are told about this in the Bible: given us forgiveness of sins & deliverance as benefactors. God's love is unconditionally applied to us all but we are accountable individually to accept it. You will see God provided salvation through His Son's Sacrifice Death which is objective in that Jesus died for everybody: to be subjectively applied to each individual 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. He is both Provider and Provision!
You have believed certain things if you desire or have this subjective application of salvation to yourself according to His Word primarily in Christ and on Christ. Following this way of God through Christ we find the plan of God in that there is peace with God in every situation and trial you find yourself in after salvation in being justified in the Spirit by Him, and sealed, spiritually complete and saved and on the road of righteousness through Christ. If you're saved spiritual things are spiritually discerned abiding in the Son Christ Jesus, and spiritual laws, like laws of viscosity and momentum in science are either observed in a laboratory of life or learned about as an education from textbooks of the influence of the Bible in history of human affairs. (For there are three kinds of men according to Will Rogers that great American: The ones that learn by reading? 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 everywhere serve Him in Christ and that means everywhere make Him Lord, and see God in the face of Jesus if we are born of the Spirit. Knowing becomes sitting, walking, and standing. 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 to lift us up from sin for its a law of spiritual obedience for the saved in Christ. Vices or addictions like sins of the spirit or flesh we receive deliverance from and are not the narrow way and straight gate of scripture. This is objective truth God wants to help us sift through. The Bible says: People tend to want to run the gamut of sinful addictive habits by getting drunk or high and away from God in his/her conscience. Condemnation which would erroneously tell them its ok, is followed by conviction rather which would lean us toward God's spiritual answer, salvation of soul and spirit which is right. Listen you are somebody because God do not make no junk. God is not angry with ya because of the Cross-. He loves you and has forgiven you. Jesus dying on the Cross is a proclamation God allows us say to you. God's way out or a spiritual salvation in the Spirit is we have a sinful nature that sins of tendency and that must be forever dealt with by nailing it to the cross of Christ. Every soul of everybody is eternal and will find a home in either of two places. We are talking nails here as in gain salvation for yourself before it is too late. We know God's command to never sin as unsaved individuals as far back as Adam and Eve. But. To look upon evil because the Ten Commandments looks grim is all wecan do because it's our lower nature to disobey and to rebel without this Person of God's Choosing, Jesus Christ at the helm. This is no excuse because all this is tied to the will. God looks down upon the bunch of critters we are and He sees us in our need in Adam and our messes but doesn't like us to harm ourselves which sin does (Greek word for sin is harm-atia, ie. sin harms.) Because of sins and sinning, we have stopped short of His glory but sometimes-bad things happen also because we live in a fallen world. We have broken His Laws and come short. We have trespassed His glorious message. Have you confessed this of yourself to God alone? He says, "If we have sinned or failed at trying one law we've failed at trying them all," see James 2:10. At times yes we stop ourselves in our tracks: re: become convinced of this breaking of God's heart by us and begin a personal relationship and working winning dialog with our Creator His way. Only God can save a lost soul but He indeed then does that supernaturally and so to make him/her a sinner clean and white, in fact as white as snow or wool inside who is a sinner admitting he/she sins before Him if we come to Him by His way once and for all through His Son. This means we get justification, just as if we never sinned! to get saved, to embrace Christ's salvation for you and He taking away your sins and you stand in right standing forgiven and become saints who follow Christ thereafter by faith through grace in prayer and being in the Word becoming a disciple of Jesus’ in lifestyle by faith in the Spirit. Imagine going through your whole life living it in follow through enduring to its fullest animated completely by God Himself through Christ the Son as a disciple or follower of Christ? It's not a surreal dream but reality, being not in the world but "in the Spirit," all things of God new in new wineskins, new creations, renewed, saved, & "in a new birth." After salvation we put on the New Self which is created in true Holiness and Righteousness which is Christ Himself which is not a step for there are no steps to sanctification. This is being made holy which Christ does alone for you. Born again you deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him. And follow through that is do what He says.
We can be a new creation outside as well within as the Bible puts it in II Corinthians 5:17.
It starts at God's altar you make in your heart in prayer at God's 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!
We can exercise obedience to the Son then in the Kingdom of God (to Christ Jesus, His Gift, in His Risenness, raised to newness of life, seated in the heavenlies, a disciple) in the Spirit: re: Belong to Him! By the Holy Spirit's work, we CAN BE THIS, for He changes us by transforming our lives as in a mirror to be in the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ in the Word. We go from faith to faith. 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 without Him. Hell indeed is awaiting one is such a state of affairs. Will you accept His Gift? Eternal Life? Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Strait is the gate and narrow is the way to life and few find it. Horizontally human loving people take the ladder vertically up to Heaven to God's love being right! Jesus DID have that perspective living pleasing to the Father in His love and in Jesus’ example He was a teacher but died to save firstly re us. Christ gave gifts to men. He lived far away from the edge of or near to any sinning. He took captivity captive. He arose up early in the day to pray to His Father and depended fully on Him. God was using unconditional love in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself in Calvary's Consummation: for He died on the cross FOR YOU, you a broken clay pot (a High price to pay) & God sought a way within His own Laws of Mercy & Justice providing Mercy drops around us are falling to save you in the Son's obedience and Death. Freedom is never free nor is it cheap. However, slavery is a high price to pay if not intervened for. Showers of blessing there are for God is so not against us or nor from a distance from us BUT calling us near through salvation and sin has made a chasm. When one is subsequently saved sins are taken away gone! Forgiven! There is a sea of forgetfulness in God's eye and He posts a no fishing sign. We make a change of mind and attitude about sin and an about face when coming to Jesus Christ for Jesus changes our mind 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 obey. Jesus is all we will ever learn about God for He consumes everything we will ever be apart from Him by a fire of baptism from Himself He alone showing us an exact representation of God (see Hebrews 12; 1:3.) He comes to us with our open arms, hearts, minds, and lives, this Treasure from God we have in earthen vessels. We turn & repent and Surrender actually feel changes when we feel this His love happen in us. In addition, you will BE a believer, experience God’s love first for the first time, and come into His atmosphere. You get love, peace, and joy! We come as we are in this belief in God in the unseen, or participation in His plan and transformation is God's intention and purpose and He does save when we take this all by faith making us complete and whole in Him. We receive forgiveness of sins. We are receptive to the Word like trusting children. If God said that settles it. God dealt with the sin issue on the Cross-. He overcame sin, death, hell, and the grave through the physical life of Jesus curing our illnesses and diseases His obeying God on earth even to a Death on the Cross. When He died our lives were exchanged for His Perfect Sinless Death and Life. In addition, in dying, we were in His Death. We coming to Him unable to save ourselves or lift us up by our bootstraps but as born again Christians now can live a raised up to newness of life spiritual seating with Him in the Heavenlies in a fruit bearing Kingdom of God 'fruitful-within' life and get heaven too potentially, by enduring with patience to the end, nourishing spiritual food, spiritual exercise, and daily foot-cleansing from Jesus Christ. As the saved we're living by the Holy Spirit from the tree of life (Jesus Christ) not from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (or i.e. from man's failure to obey) in the Garden of Eden. Instead of fleshly, we gain deliverance over sin & those obstacles, which are the world, flesh, and the devil and finally as He saved us. You ask for this. 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, & to not think like the unsaved nor have the problems the unsaved 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 builds His Church. We present our bodies to God in 12:1.
That I may know Him in the Power of His Resurrection and fellowship with His sufferings within that, that He and I may have fellowship near. This is a worthy goal to pursue. It is like having a sumptuous meal with Him, (have koinonia,) this walk with God in depth, a daily discipleship way in Christ and in my heart to relish Him is the Great Good News. My heart knows no bounds, my joy unrestrained and because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Before being saved God calls and it has been known in nature by something called General Revelation to know Him in nature for salvation but to talk to Him a sinner only. However, if we look back at our past honestly, God was preparing for our salvation. Love from Him requited by us now was initially requesting possession of us from God's love letter the Bible & its being revealed in us through Special Revelation through our conscience now to submit to Him. 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. 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, and spirit we are renewed daily, fed, and nourished to be equipped for service. For what of three years of someone named Jesus whose life over two thousand years ago could have been preserved so well and been an influence! Imitating God in a grace walk of faith with Christ daily in grace/favor unearned and ultimately in Heaven going there from His doing from start to finish born of God born of the Spirit we worship in spirit and in truth… We're enlightened and illuminated about this in the Bible: unveiled to our heart and mind if we read it in the New Covenant Gospels, Acts, and Epistles and believe the Gospel for ourselves 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 John Wesley.
The Steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
We experience it in kindnesses and mercy daily and moment-by-moment.
I pray you find the Lord Jesus Christ in contentment as Your Master & Savior Lord of you & He becomes in your personality and life Savior & Lord from sins and sin. 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. 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. 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 to make us deny he exists." In addition, he does tempt us with his minions at deceiving schemes, which the whole world lives under. Nazi Germany teaches us that. There is a quote, "in living the right, one sometimes doesn't do the privilege right thing the right way." Chesterton said, "The path of least resistance in rivers and men makes both crooked." "The soul that sins shall die and the soul that sins then is a slave to sin the Bible says in two places John 8:34 & Ezekiel.
We need God first in every way, first for us to say thank you to, getting saved, worship and praise for every provision of Calvary to be revealed in us and to us, rejoiced in, and confess to Him that we're sinners who've disobeyed His Laws before Him in His sight and are sinners who then need Him to become saints at the cross by prayer and faith and continuing belief. Jesus makes you one saint. We need to obey the Holy Spirit's leading for our life's direction by grace & to ask questions and dialog with God daily in a God consciousness not sin consciousness in the light of finding forgiveness to be reality freely given within in Him then on. Following in Christ in the Spirit God's ways we're sanctified by Him and daily confirmed with a highpoint connection to God Where we stay attached high daily through "uprights" of goalpost (football kicked) with great confidence through the Spirit in receiving from Him. We live for the goal unto Him nigh of His grace which allows us to live lives pleasing to Him knowing that we're accepted in His Beloved by His Blood and that without Him we can do nothing, and we do nothing until we know this is true and follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth through faith by grace "practically", a disciple, redeemed from sin. Christ is our all in all. It takes a moment to be saved and a lifetime to stay saved.
This is principally because of the sin principle and sin nature. God in His mercy makes us 'alive.' We are made alive from the dead while in the body. This is the new birth. Reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God.
Salvation is entirely by faith by grace in God's sight in the Spirit from Him brought to Spirit-led living fruition in spiritual DNA in new motives God gives based on the finished work of Christ from which He draws us, & is evidenced by faith from start to finish. Making Jesus Lord is a part of being in the Spirit then. God raises us up to walk on top of mountains then. He is the Savior. He is Lord of the valleys as well.
The Certificate of debt is and was destroyed which was against us Col 2:13, 14. Our faith is in God for a believing belief that "it is finished" the war is over with people, in the battle, the battle belongs to the Lord.
God calls us His Workmanship, His Poem, His Field, & His Building. God calls sin finished with, in turning to Him and death dominated. Death is the result of sins (Romans 6:23.) "You are so beautiful," as Joe Cocker so creatively sings and others, while we are indeed re-created in Christ Jesus for good works which we're foreordained to accomplish Eph. 2:10. Our part is to deny self, take up our cross and follow our Lord Jesus. There are no such worries nor fear nor anxiety in the atonement really one needs a pair of sunglasses to see, it is so very good & so rejoices in salvation. Phil. 4:6, 7, 8. However, there are hard sayings of Jesus. We endure as good soldiers then in submission to Christ.
WE FIND SO MUCH IF WE'RE BELIEVING BY FAITH IN VIRTUES GOODNESS BY GRACE BUT UNWORTHY BUT SAVED BY FAITH, 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.
Moreover, you are sealed 'in Christ' like eternally secure saved so that you will identify life in God by this new identifying with Jesus Christ because it is in Him. You stay 'in Christ' like you're in a cup. 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. We are in trench warfare as Christians: believing to see Jesus go before us in the Spirit everywhere, for the Presence of God goes before us everywhere in every situation and we are victorious everywhere in Christ by faith over everything.
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. We will certainly have new bodies then that are sinless in the Spirit.
We are awed by God's wonderful Power now.
As a good Father and Farmer winnows away bad wheat with His winnowing fork in His Hand so does our Heavenly Father God love us greatly in trials of all kinds even to have our lives being used and cleansed heatedly to be clay pots with His Treasure about us do His bidding. God once saved can use you. He does not tempt anyone at all but does intervene in an organically curative role miraculously as well as in the world. God helps others become born again, through Holy Spirit is persuading of them or of our own selves to be saved in His Persuasion. We come in faith to Jesus for a Divine Blood Transfusion: it's a curative and corrective Gospel by the Great Physician, (how He God is merciful at the cross in which God is pouring out His redeeming reconciliation on His Son & us
if…)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 providing Sacrifice for your sin. They go on to live lives of faith obedience to the Holy Spirit's ways being followers of Christ right by grace. They live it one day at a time as a grace walk and love walk. (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.) 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 occupy (actively be ready) for Christ's return, and are being desirous to be like Christ, as impossible as it sounds as He lived His life until He comes back (which is a discipleship challenge.) It is through the Holy Spirit's work this occurs though in an outlived walk step by step and it is by faith through grace, not of you, not of works lest any man should boast. We are not religious; we maintain a relationship with the Lord! Truly we 'love God' with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength in three commands in one, namely the afore and "love your neighbor" "as yourself," which is the summing up of all the Old Covenant Laws. Rejoice. Pray and ask God for salvation if you have not already.
You are God's masterpiece then redeemed. Insurance is the best. It is also an abundant life we exchange for His life within outwardly expressed as well!
After salvation or becoming saved YOU are then being a thank you epistle to God (letter is an epistle in Greek,) written by the Holy Spirit of God within and without with the laws of God in the Spirit and with the Name of God. With everything within, we follow Christ disciples saved in the ways of the Spirit through Christ the Risen One. It is by grace from start to finish this abundant life sparked in the Spirit in and through Christ to Eternal Life, which starts now. Dave Candel
l Remember we take the faith to believe and accept it for ourselves. That 'if' becomes the condition on the salvation and the Bible wishes of the promises of God He requires simply and mainly our participation accountable to be. In that way He's JUST while giving away mercy, full and free for work is work as Romans says, and grace is grace but mercy is not just justice only from faith to faith and glory to glory but a special dispensation to live life in the now and sow seed for eternal habitations in mercy. Mt. 6:33. For it's a transformed Wave a becoming NEW life we live in Christ not a reformed one. God promises to bring it to pass and finish what He started in you New Creation Phil 1:6; Gal 6:9ff.

WE'RE SAVED BY JESUS CHRIST: CERTAIN SALVATION: ENDURING BELIEF IN HIM.
Monday, March 5, 2012, 8:49 AM [General]
www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1MvMZB-X8E&t=1m...Jesus is the Son of God and came from Heaven to earth special delivery to be born to a virgin and grew up into a man who was to grow in stature and in favor with God and man and then to develop our character and to see us through to refined gold assuming we've been born again. The way He was born brings up issues to some. When you're born again you enter into His life His experience. He becomes your Mediator in salvation by His Propitiatory Death, Burial, and Resurrection. He fulfilled over three hundred prophecies about Messiah being born in a manger in Bethlehem and by the authority with which He spoke and acted, He was declared God Himself. Religion is man's attempts to get to God (resisting the Borg is futile which is symbolic of the way religion is set, but seeking God is spot right on.) Is God reaching down to man in love in a love-Covenant within a relationship to you that grows individually? You bet. God had a Covenant with Adam, Seth, Noah, Enoch, of Conscience and by time of Abraham Covenant God related to and unified man with Himself through faith and grace, a sacrifice of blood He Himself for us would provide and through our consecration (in shadow, we a reflection of His glorious work,) would receive by faith. God was needed to save us because we needed saving. Sin demands and leaves its mark. We couldn't escape death nor the consequences of our sin. Christ is the Savior of the world from sin and sin(s). He Himself lived a reverential life to God when He walked here 2000 years ago in obedience. He lived until to an age 30 when He started to minister under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit to heal, save, work miracles, and make disciples. He didn't come the first time to take over the Roman Legion. When He Died for us He saved us. He came to send us an anointing too for us to be IN HIM and become Christ-like, made over in His image. For three and a half years He walked the earth in serving up ministry from God's heart to our need like a Papa ministering to his son or daughter in the dramatic present. The Four New Testament Gospels give a precise accurate description of His Life and Healing Deliverance Ministry & Purpose, to forgive us all our sins, that is to believe Him in the heart confess Him with the mouth continually=salvation-for we come to Him for salvation. And to love not our life to the death, (further commanded in the Books: the Gospels, Romans, Timothy, Revelation etc.) is through Him the only grace way to Heaven, and its by grace thoroughly through faith in Him. By grace and through faith in Him we enter His Kingdom is paramount He being the King to the Kingdom. Our goal is to follow Him as our all in all is everything then on. "God wants to give you an extraordinary life in the realm of influence He's called you to. He will do this by His grace" (John Bevere writes.) He's called you to change and to impact your world for Him. But ask Him what or who is your gift? God doesn't want anyone lost in other words or 'left behind.' Soon there may be no delay by God in being longsuffering toward us.
Salvation brings love, joy, and peace in abundance of these. Kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Even Happiness is yours if you pursue Godliness and Righteousness according to His Word that comes with contentment. In the pursuit is the perception. It's not being more healthy, wealthy, and wise, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. To be saved, and Jesus Himself said the way is narrow and difficult to Life and the way to destruction is broad and its gate wide and many go (to their consequences thereat) and perish. Hell is a real destination. And so we need a faith in God, a belief of faith in Him through tribulation- and even suffering that grows (into born of God life: zoe in Greek,) believing He is a personal God concerned with all our struggles ultimately bringing us into a wholeness and an eternal life if we believe present tense and abide "in Christ." Your trouble can be the fertile ground for God performing saving you. It may be just what He needs to get your attention. It's from sin to righteousness: doing the thing that is right. Jesus spoke about hell as a place to shun and the Apostle Paul also (perdition) but Christ spoke more about hell than anyone in scripture, family. A God Who lets sinful people have their own way for very long wouldn't be just nor would He be very loving to the victims of those transgressors. Sin is lawlessness and transgression of the Law of God which Law was given to us through Moses by God and was through angels: this results in death to those under the Law to show us that we fail God as well as God's attributes: Holiness and Love by misdirecting an inner voice, namely the Holy Spirit's voice which can be convicting. You can be instead in God's Family where Christ is the Fulfillment of the Law within each of us lived Romans 8:3. But one can see the point is we fail God. God in Christ is saying in essence we need a Savior to save us from our sinful passions for at many times and in many ways we have gone way over the edge in sin before God. If we have ever lied we have sinned before God and if we have ever stolen we have sinned also. Lusted? You did fail if you have grace to believe it humble. God will reveal it individually. Scripture says, "miss the Mark in one of them (any one law in the Law,) and you've missed (or failed) every one of them," (James 2:10.)
Thoughts of love turned to lust? to hate? to murder in the heart? We deserved hell justly for these because God's Law judges such attitude/behavior (See Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5,6,7.) How do we deal with these failings? For as for as many of the Body of Christ God shall call, God's love creating Heaven/Paradise He God created creation to spend eternity there and to live there requires perfection indeed. Otherwise as soon as one of us showed up there, life would be no longer Paradise. Jesus went to the Father to show opened up is Paradise and Heaven and He succeeded! He won the Title Deed to it all: He can open up the Seal to the sealed sevenfold-sealed scroll (see Rev.) All others (in other words, who sin) are liars and thieves, "trying to climb up some other way," scripture declares,... "into the sheepfold." "My sheep hear My Voice," Jesus said, "and a stranger they will not follow," John 10. To have Heaven and this Life in the Son now you have to come under The New Covenant.
In mercy God Himself provided the way to Himself and Eternity in that we could not bridge when He sent Himself in the form of Jesus Christ as Savior: Christ lived a pleasing life to God before God pleasing of His Ten Commandments (and the 613 laws) here on earth obedient to death even a cross death which was vindication and which so many villify to their own swift destruction. God is Provider and provision. In victory (His) of that way He lived and died and rose again in our place before God so we could accept it: "it is Finished" by the Son and so somehow to reach to the resurrection from the dead (meaning a super superlative place in Heaven.) About this Paul said in the Epistle to the Philipians 'our conversation is in Heaven from whence also we look for the Savior!' would take place fulfilled at the Rapture or when we die. This is the first resurrection. He died in weakness strong it seemed to some, a crucifixion (II Corinthians 13:4,) but that was Friday... Sunday's a Coming! and on Sunday.. "Why did He Die?," as a child I asked. He Arose from death and evermore lives by the Power of God in victorious fashion! That Resurrection of our Lord's has been and is victorious and it's the most documented fact of history! His-Story. He brought tithes and offering to God which was His Blood to the Throne where God dwelt. Access is now there. He had gone to the cross to suffer God's wrath in an eternity in those six hours on the cross. He suffered our punishment of hell full blown: the eternity of eternities of time there for six hours on the cross He was punished by God's Wrath and Won: came out the other side Whole and intact. His life didn't need justification. He was perfect. 100 % God, 100 % man. It took an Eternal Being to save us Eternally. He became sin and had the full blown strength of God's Judgment, of Punishment, and Wrath poured out upon Himself and His own Blood saved Him without the smell of smoke! Now we can go free. Justification: just as if I'd never sinned is ours. Can you not see the Majesty or Magnificence and significance? And so can you not respond in kindness to a God Who that in one act one time once for all Eternity did Die and in that application of it you can be saved? You can have faith to be healed and saved. You can be assured if you do: A certain salvation. A salvation that is certain that enters within the veil, God's Presence! It is an anchor to the soul. Lay hold of His salvation. We glorify God and love Him in obeying Him.
But you have to be IN Christ to win Eternal Life. You have to be identified with Christ. In other words, His Presence in you in believing for complete salvation and outside you has to be applied to your life and it's all a Gift by grace to those that obey by faith through grace enduring with endurance to the end (in Greek, grace, is Charis.) In fact hearing God's voice through the obedience of faith Paul spoke of in Romans chapter one is active to endure with and inside of you to the end and leads to holiness. God will complete the work He starts in you. Jesus lived that perfect life perfectly through the Power of the Holy Spirit. "I am the way the truth and the life, no man gets to the Father but by Me," Jesus Christ said (John 14:6.) We need to be born of God or born from above, born again Jesus taught (John 3:3,5)! We come to Christ admitting we're sinners and have fallen short of God's glory (and that's in Romans 3:23 to do.) Romans three verse ten says, "There is none righteous, no not one." We fall short of God's glory but fall on the mercy of God and kindness of Him and accept Christ as our Lord and Savior humbly in a low bow of the knee before Him. Paul said He bowed low before God and so should we. Jesus is Who we put our faith and trust in and we deny ourselves, take up our cross, and FOLLOW HIM! There is a holiness God demands without which no man shall see God. Some are hard but true sayings.
By following Christ all the days of our life & we will assuredly for certain build a sure foundation against the storms to come established on the Laws and Promises of God as a result, and will have committed everything to Him in an inheritance we pick up progressively along the way, prepared for us 'rooted' in God. Jesus is the only way to God. Its not a bed of roses when you accept Him. Salvation is the way God makes things and is of the Lord. God can put us in the eye of the storm in peace in Him. NO other name under Heaven given among men is needed to be saved Acts 4:12. His Name is Jesus. It is my desire that you will pray fervently earnestly and in prayer unceasing to determine to know God rightly to the point that God knows you through Christ and determine to walk towards Him: sincerely ask God to be saved through Christ's Blood and be committed to live for greatness in His Kingdom in Christ so you can be ready should He call you home to Heaven soon (Philippians 3:20-21.) Read all the Bible and find Jesus Christ, the Living Word, as your salvation. It's for everyone! It's a new spiritual life. It's not religious jargon nor acts of the type of fig leaves nor ecclesiasticalness. You're not turning over a new leaf in getting saved but turning to the Lord for repentance God will grant. Rome wasn't built in a day. It's not of works nor by oneself but of Him and by grace we're saved through faith to the enduring end. We don't do good works to be saved but we do good works because we're saved. I was at an age of four when I understood this plan of God's and asked Him in to be my Savior from sin (it's not reformation but transformation.) God's Presence became real. It's made by God so a child can understand the Gospel message and thus be saved. It has ever more better and improved to have been a better fuller life since then for me but also an Abundant Life in Him. And I have never regretted a moment of it!

Justification. Why it's through the Blood of Christ Jesus.
Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 8:50 PM [General]
God leads, The devil drives, and The Holy Spirit leads. Scripture says submit (Christians who know the Bible are familiar with this teaching) to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Christ gives peace not as the world does but as He does. Christ gives. If you want peace you can start by making peace with God. God requires a Holy life which is a drop in the bucket in what we know to be. Righteousness? God won't let us in Heaven if we don't have it. But if salvation is a free gift we have to Walk a walk and a relationship with God that is a life worthy of it. Do ya think? What does God mean by that life worthy of it? God does work to help you break up your fallow ground, and to rend your hearts not your garments. God wants to make you into a Niagara Falls or Iguadzu in downstream living water. "For without faith it's impossible to please God. For He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and is a rewarder of them that seek Him." Hebrews 11:6 "Now faith is the Substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," Hebrews 11:1. If walking in Christ's Resurrection is a New Covenant Gift we need God's Presence for this. How for instance do we overcome our lower behavior as we find these things? Scriptures say to avoid the very appearance of all evil. Anger, hatred lust? These things require more than natural methods to stop. How indeed does one "have peace" in themselves but by a real peace with God that churns Biblical? I'm talking if God 'sees' you are His you'll walk different. God will begin to write the Name of God written within and without that you belong to Him! It starts by admitting need. Admitting need for repentence to God. Acknowledging the little detailed things God does: everyday things! Acknowledge God is for you. Glorifying God with a new nature, new heart, new spirit that is a change that is a soul saved is part and parcel of being born again. Like a monarch butterfly emerges from a chrysalis and then cocoon so God wants us to love on us to reveal the very heights of who we can be in knowing Who He is! Sinner in need of saving won't you admit your need and confession of a sinful past and be born of God today? God will cleanse you and take away your sin. He starts by taking sin as a principle away, and then one by one aspects of your lifestyle, until we then acknowledge Jesus is Lord! We know God is making us clean all the time. But sometimes we need to know that we know we're cleaning us too. So we turn the switch that starts the wiper system. Justification, justification. Just as if I'd "never sinned!" Let's get away from Ceasar. God will reveal a walk in a relationship par Excellence! Then deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him! Run to Him.David Candelwww.youtube.com/watch?v=7g3Qf9dGgJ4&t=3s

You can be instead in God's Family where Christ is the Fulfillment of the Law within each of us lived Romans 8:3. Anti-nomialism is anything goes and every situation, relative to the one next, with no absolutes that is "being antinomial" lawless in behavioral attitude and action. By this we grieve God who gives the Holy Spirit.
We see by these many infallible proofs many laws that God puts out there we fail to obey within the Law (of God through Moses) & in this, to show us a limit on personal avenging of a victim to his/her aggressor in the spirit of the Ten Commandments. But one can see the point is we all fail God. God in Christ is saying in essence we need a Savior to save us from our sinful passions for at times and in many ways we have gone way over the edge or line in sin before God.

Walking With The King Of Kings, Jesus The Son Of God! Is Happiness!
GOD IS LOVE! GOD LOVES YOU! HE REALLY DOES!!! JRR Tolkien fathered C.S. Lewis's salvation. Both were prolific Christians. C.S. Lewis wrote of a great analogy to Christ in Aslan in the Narnia Books for children. Because of Christ God can be known in New Covenant. Covenant is a Message or agreement by contract. Because of the Cross Jesus Died upon God can be for you! Many want to take up their cross but do they want to follow Christ? You can get on Jesus’ side because we need to know God personally for He believes in you!! He believes in you so much He let's you choose your own destiny in eternity and to know Him individually. Jesus has that Character to impute and impart to let that occur. We all want to be children God calls home someday to Heaven before we reject Him any further.It all happened 2000 years ago. God has positive believing that by faith you'll do the right thing by Him and for yourself and ask Him in to be saved. To choose life, choose Eternally: Choose Jesus. Instead of blaming God for every bad thing or complaining (refusing His language called: salvation, and His basic spiritual relationship) why not trust Him? Why must I be saved and what must I do to be saved? You will want to come to God His way to know Him truly and obtain Heaven in the hereafter when you die. For now trust in His Name and His Transformation. His way is His Son, Jesus Christ. Don't try to figure out the Trinity, just accept it. God is in three in One yet one Being: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We can know assuredly that this life of tribulation is not all there is but an exciting life now abundantly and in the hereafter awaits those obedient to in and to His Spirit. While waiting for that in the hereafter now Salvation is accepting Jesus Christ for His Finished Work of Death, Burial, Resurrection for our sins, yours and mine and God applying it to you. He, Jesus, literally 'became sin' or our death penalty before God so He could forgive and restore us when Jesus Christ, God's Son Perfect Sacrifice, was on the cross. God wants you on His Team. When you make this decision you will find salvation in Christ. You choose to admit you're a sinner and change how you see yourself and your sin and God by Finished Work (complete) of Christ. (Christ Dying on the Cross pays your sin debt and enables you to have grace.) We then on sit in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus He then being Lord in salvation when we admit we are sinful sinners and accept God‘s way out. Now God can look on us as His purchased possession, redeemed and not sinners (on the way to hell.) But if we truly encounter Christ salvation is God seeing you through the lens of the perfect character of His Son, Jesus. Upon knowing I know I’m saved and that God sees me in Jesus Christ encountering Him in His Resurrected Body and Spirit we want to become like Him, as saved growing Christians. We all think we have control or an illusion of it but to come to Christ is not an optional decision nor anyone’s crutch without purpose as we let go of control (yes, the illusion of it,) in prayer. Believe God can be trusted for He is perfect in His Person being a God of infinitely perfect Justice, Love, Mercy, Goodness, Holiness, Righteousness, and Self-Control! His Word is clear on the subject of His Character! We will never finish getting to know Him for all eternity! The question is where will you spend eternity? To accomplish God’s salvation for you in Christ Jesus through faith relationship by leap of faith or jump into God's arms for you in your life and without bending God's arm back of course but with knowing that you're born again is paramount not attempting your own way. God will give assurances of salvation to you if you are approaching God in Christ boldly. The influence and impact of Christ is to have His saving Power of God to move from sin in lifestyle to right living (righteousness,) in deed and truth. His Lamb was Slain from before the foundation of the world, scripture says this at least twice, and His Finished work is commitment' requiring of us to stay in the Father’s hand, for He will keep what you entrust to Him. As long as you stay in that Hand nothing and no one can pry His fingers from about you. Live every day trusting God for your needs and try your heart testing it to follow our Lord. God writes the check daily for you but you have to come to Him that is for the money, He being Your Provider. Your part is to believe, present active indicative in the Greek language the Bible was written in. God has called you with a Holy Calling by His own purpose and grace in Christ Jesus. By grace you have been saved through faith if you believe and endure to the end (and so keep on believing,) present active indicative in the Greek.) Go to Church, a Bible believing Church Assembly for this ongoing decision to grow in grace and the knowledge of God and Christ and become many decisions to follow because its in the Word and you just have to have it stirred up I Tim 1:6. Line upon line you will learn relationship. Much further is caught than taught. Every man is hurting but know no one knows how that feels but Jesus. This creates a pathos but it’s not limited to being in church having good times in rare air but you will have tough times also: but you'll need victory prepared beforehand and to know Him to remain abiding in Him. Victory is a given. God has destined you for great things. If you never had a lack of fellowship how will you have a passion for fellowship? Therefore gather together with God’s saints. There will be suffering for the Name of Christ according to God‘s purpose. God has done what is needed to save you. He wants you on His team truly. He’s called you with a Holy Calling out of this world’s system into His Presence in salvation and ongoing sanctified fellowship. He who believes present active indicative shall be saved. You must have grace to believe everything in the Bible that says about Who you are in Christ and grow in knowing Who God is as well. God just needs your encountering Him, willingness and availability. God is indescribable and beyond our knowledge but called us to His Holy Purpose and Calling. The trouble is we want what is inside the cup without being “in Christ,“ but the grace and plan is through Christ Jesus. You will only receive grace for God’s purpose and plan through Christ Jesus and some with wisdom point out it‘s one day at a time. Like riding in an airplane you can’t survive in the trip in the plane if it is that you’re outside the plane but only as it were, “in Christ,“ or with Christ as Pilot, Co-, and Navigator and the crew! The Savior Christ ‘uncloaked’ several things by His appearing (on the planet two thousand years before): He abolished death, brought life (Zoe`- God kind of life,) and immortality to light through the Gospel. In that blink when you die you will see the face of Christ. What’s bad about that moment? C. S. Lewis wrote about that in The Screwtape Letters. You were made to be in His Presence. It will be perfect bliss. You will be there by faith and God’s will not your talent or good works outside of being “in Christ.” And that’s a very dynamic thing. God's two Revelations, the one of His Righteousness which is fulfilled in Christ Jesus is brought to light while the other is a Revelation of God's Wrath composed of a two pronged fork to get you going to Him! It points us to Eternity. Look at Romans Chapter one for this fork. Your circumstances do not dictate to God. His purpose and grace is in Christ and this is true for you in good times and bad. God speaks by the Voice of the Holy Spirit in Joshua (Jesus) John 15:20. In that verse, Jesus says, “if they persecuted Me they will you, If they kept My Word they will yours.“ We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ if we suffer with Him Romans 8:16,17 says. Paul says, “If indeed we suffer with Him.” Never put a period where God puts a comma. We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, .....“if indeed we suffer with Him period.”” “Join me in the suffering for the Testimony of Christ Jesus our Lord. Watch me in my example of suffering for Christ and do likewise I Tim 1:1-7.” “I am not ashamed” Paul writes. “I suffer these things but I am not ashamed because He loves me, He sheds His grace on me, He blesses me, He provides for me,” Paul writes. He is convinced of Who God is I Tim 1:12. Don’t put your faith in faith. Put your faith in Jesus. He will make you useful Romans 1:16. God makes you a hammer when He needs you hardheaded and a screwdriver when He needs you sharp. God is looking for one ability in us. It is availability: to love one another and serve one another. In believing fellowship with the Father and with the Son, is what Scripture says is fellowship I John 1:3: that He suffered of an Eternity of Hell during those six hours or so on the Cross and unconditionally He Died to show us God's love for us and besides, you, cooperating with the Voice of God, and the Spirit of God within, discover we truly need Jesus for escape from sin and to salvation: re: to suffer according to God‘s purpose not our own fault(s). Escape is needed from this sin-filled world of sinful pleasure. We all have pain of some kind in this life but God is faithful Who will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able but will provide an escape. What we need is to be saved so that God is able to keep what you commit to Him (He guards it ferociously,) so give it to Him: obedience from us within and a life of worship outward then to God in the Son will be expressed by you and me. How? By knowing God in relationship. We want to know God from His Heart. Everlasting Father, God Almighty, and Daddy or Abba is revealed (three titles for God.) There's where everyone's hunger for passion lies: knowing God according to truth. Like a parched land or deer pants after water so our hearts pant after God. We want to know that we owe God (right?) and come to God (right?) to God near and this is thru the Son for this is the 'ticket' in humility in bowing down before Him. We needed God. For our next breath even we needed Him. Accountable in salvation we are we want good stewardship from us in responsible change spiritually: specifically: faith-relationships 1) Love for God first and 2) Love for our neighbor second as we love ourselves. For this is by the GREAT GREAT LOVE OF GOD FOR US being revealed in us by coming to know wisdom to learn to read the Word of God, the Bible, daily and allowing God to work on us in circumstances as certainly for us with open hand, as a Potter would clay on a Potter's Wheel working it until it is a vessel turned into a traditional beautiful vessel of use for Him. In other words under His mighty higher power known by us and by His Intention known (that is His goodness, Rightness, Holiness, and Love known) and His impetus of that Good Nature known and perfected in our active lifestyle faithful from us also within faith-relationship to God we can please Him in the Lord and He be your everything! We are created anew in Christ Jesus transformed at times renewing fellowship according to Psalm 51 or I John1:9 as life flows in ebbs and flows, (dips.) We need a true transformation in God not a more educated sinner. Jeremiah 17:10 says, “I, the Lord search the Heart. I test the mind to give every man according to His works and as to His deeds.” Recognize that you're going to stand before Christ and give an account of your stewardship at the Bema Seat. You’re a clay pot, vulnerable, and limited in strength, mortality and use before God in your own strength. We needed God to make it. We really did. We're made for fellowship. Even presently we're not made of marble and steel in this human life. Entrust control to God. When you relinquish all control to God and when you will be without resources except God and God alone you will be living true Christianity. God can only watch what we give up I Tim 1:12. God is not far from any one of us humbly in Christ if we discern this but nevertheless we make a one hundred eighty degree turn from where we are for most of us from sin to God (75% perhaps globally yet to make that decision from sin.) Acknowledge that He is good. Let us remember that seeking revival, turning to Him, and seeking His face for forgiveness and for our Nation, America and circlemaking from God. Read The Circlemaker by Mark Batterson. Jesus is the Incarnation of God in the flesh, bone, Spirit, and He is the Object of our hope springing up eternal. We need to have a long view of our life. We need to work out our salvation with respect and trembling. Now do we do this? Honestly? We should by the power of the Spirit. This world seeks Jesus all the wrong way for they don't seek to find the Christ child in a manger! He is 100% God and 100% man and loves you nonetheless unconditionally! Let me explain how to retain the sound form Standard of sound words: Walk out your life in Christ careful. God in Christ hides His own in Himself for we are dead! Col. 3:2,3. We were in the Son when He died on the cross and we died (with Him.) You are God’s property. He paid a price for you. He owns you. God says in Jer. 17:10, “I the Lord try the heart, I test the mind, that I may give unto everyone according to their work and as to their deeds.” We need to stay mortified as Christ lived but alive to God. That will happen for the saved at the Bema Seat Judgment during the Marriage Supper of the Lamb to come ultimately. How we put to death the deeds of the body and got resurrected in Jesus to be alive to God believing and alive will be seen. Judge nothing before it’s time. We will be a catalyst to see our loved ones saved as we live before them faithfully the form of sounds words Standard. It was no picnic for God to let His Son Die on a Cross in suffering to Die a Substitute for us. But in fact as well God in the Cross was putting on the Ritz because He loves you also by way of the cross. Jesus has by the way fulfilled over four hundred prophecies about Messiah, King Jesus. Given in the Bible throughout it's contents these writings definitely tell us God is in Complete and Providential control, and man is not, though man thinks with a corrupt avarice (greed) to attempt to dominate their fellow human beings and other things also. We must change our thinking with regard to our own lives the rudder, the tongue. But concerning these patterns of behavior and it will happen by transformation in Christ not by a program. Man/Woman is made in God's image but responsible/accountable before God for our own thoughts, words, and actions. Faith is the relationship. Love is the expression of it working out. Give to God what is God’s. When you realize you can do nothing for this but surrender control and everything in this control’s illusion too, God can then guard for you while you have the treasure from God for Him to guard which is not yours but entrusted to us. His Name is on the papers in other words but He gives it to us to hold in a safe keeping but ultimately it’s His ownership. Knowing we try to cease from our own works when we come to Christ and cease hopefully from far off wanderings and going astray when we’re saved to diligently enter His rest in Christ as sanctification we prosper. He does His part. Christ is our life and we abide in Him obeying His will consecrating to Him our lives and receive His purpose in His Word through His Voice that is still and small. You see grace in this of you to see Christ within you. Receive conviction to be saved which is not condemnation but God's gentle nudge to those who hear and listen to Him. So soften your heart. Futile is religion also and religious activity therefore for it is man's attempts to get to God and it's based on man's thoughts not especially nor in any way attains to God's thoughts which have their culmination in Christ. Man is not looking at a religious thought process to know God particularly unless He wants to look at his destiny for a moment in the far view but it's through a faith-relationship with God and in God only. It is a peaceful relationship to co-labor with God in this faith relationship but filled with dynamic tension and guts for serious respect for God’s Magnanimous Voice which has His demands now but is not tame. Volumes could be written about this. He's not safe but is not tame as well C.S. Lewis wrote. God is not dragging you to Himself of course but He lets His net fall about you for you to have grace to believe. He is the calm in the storm's middle and He never lets go. He gives you a grippable free choice to believe Him. He woos. He's so a gentleman about being invited in. He's an all consuming fire that doesn't go out of a flame to the curious. But He has the power to cast into hell those deserving of hell after being dead. Therefore honor and serve Him in Jesus. Treat Him with the utmost respect and utmost service. Jesus in His authentic seal of approval from God at the cross for He is reaching out, is even stretching down to man IN LOVE in a FELLOWSHIP-RELATIONSHIP of belief in Blood Covenant with priestly belief for man for man. For those in particular Whom He chooses and they (in turn) choose Him, and His Salvation, for they want His ways and most of all, His Jesus as Savior for the Lord is seated. He saves them out of this present evil world inside and in the future every other way as well. Galatians 1:5 says. Avoid the appearance of evil scripture says. How? By living and abiding in Christ. Is He seated in your life? It preaches well. How does it live? Don't you as His creation want assuming your hungry to be warmed, enfolded, encircled, and entrusted with Him, with His fellowship and care to belong to God? We need a Savior: His Name: is Jesus! A personal Savior and God. For those who know Him as a wounded suffering servant (and begin to know the meaning of all God’s Names,) on this side of eternity He will in them be born again be such on the other Side King of Kings and Lord of Lords! This includes Him being Master and Lord of everything of the now of course! You are His Possession. Started by God Himself with a man called Abraham in Chapter 13-17 of Genesis, God reached out - wanted a Covenant with us, mankind. He had a part to play and we have one too. God Himself thus slew several different animals, and God came across the broken pieces, He literally walked between the pieces. Abram was face to face WITH GOD and responded, and thus God was obeyed by man’s faith and was given Isaac, an heir at 100, a son by promise, & later on Abraham was tested, passed the test, and this son who would down the line, the family line of descent from Abraham to Joseph and Mary become our 'Messiah,' JESUS was so hated by the devil. The devil or Satan has tried to destroy the process of Jesus being born. Yes both family lines gave Messiah which means Sent One or Anointed One. Abraham is called the Father of the faithful. And there are some less than illustrious characters in the Messiah’s blood line and some are women of questionable character, but they show us how willing God is to use us being human. And Jesus is God's Sent One in our Grace period or age of time, God Incarnate, our Blessed Messiah. God calls us to His Lamb Christ Jesus. Don't worship a book, the Bible, but Who it leads to: the Living Fountain Of LIFE, the Logos Word, the Lord Jesus, Who is the Fountain of Living Water And of the Springs of the water of life Author to all who're thirsty. We want to have an inkling of the relationship Christ had with God. This is also. He and we through Him have to create a hunger and thirst for the God of the Word. The Bible is God's inerrant final Word of authority in everything being spoken of or done by man with regard to God and our living in the mind of God in agreement with Him submitted as well. This life is all for His glory. Like Abraham did, walk out the Canaan Land of victorious right living. We submit to God as well in everything if we walk with Him. We submit more and more to God over a lifetime is our goal as is to be used of God. It's a verbal plenary Bible, inspired, inerrant, and infallible in inspiration and in matters relating to God flawless Bible and life. It’s in Jesus Christ and in Him we have life eternal. Check it out and read it through for it reads as flawless God's Character and as righteous deed does and seamless throughout. The Christian life is about Jesus working inside of us and not politically motivated intent. We’re the saved, letters written by God known and read of all men. It’s not about what you can do but what you’ll surrender yourself in Him to do by the Holy Spirit. Or what He will do through you! Surrendered! We ARE God's hands and feet. Before Abraham God had a verbal speech face to face Covenant Faith Relationship with seven men by blood animal sacrifice which pointed to His Sending His Messiah Jesus Christ even then. Adam's choice was to succeed or fail being tempted by the serpent, submitting, who is the first man. We know all of us we were affected by this one man. Adam was the progenitor of the race. And then Seth, his son, a second man, and a third and a fourth. Then Noah, a preacher of righteousness, the fifth man, through a sixth, to the seventh, Enoch, (who is a type of the lasts days church that will be yanked off the planet by The Rapture from Jacob's Trouble, see Daniel, I and II Thessalonians., and Revelation,) who walked with God until God 'took' him. God gave forgiveness and blessing by sacrifice of lamb or ram and bull in the Patriarchs and Moses and through Revelation of Who God in these writings to mankind even today through the nation of Israel and then Messiah. And God gave assurances He would keep His end of the PROMISE He putting Israel in Egypt (a type of the world,) to be rescued by Jacob‘s son, Joseph, a true type of Jesus Christ. And so it being fulfilled someday (see Gen. 3:15) in Christ until the time of restoration of all things He gave an oath to do that too! (to send His Son, Jesus.) Abraham met Melchizedek giving tithes of all and God made an oath to do His Promise as well. And that now it is high time to believe for it’s by two unchangeable things (His Promise and Oath,) we who have fled to Him to take refuge in Him may have assurance for an anchor for the soul both sure and steadfast which enters within the veil, that is to say His flesh Body which died. When He died the Veil in the Temple was rent from top to bottom letting us all into the Presence of God. But we need to come individually. Just now won’t you ask Jesus inside your heart to save you? He, in being fulfilled (New) Covenant Promise of Who God is became sin by His Death FOR US because sin was catching up crouching at our door to master us to destroy us even back then for man truly needed a Savior from sin BY FAITH THROUGH GRACE in what God had Done to realize we’re sinners in need of God's forgiveness and be restored in a deposit of what the first man had before he fell. Jesus is God. He is Messiah, the Second Adam. His Blood is able to cleanse not only the deeds of the mind and heart but the conscience itself from dead works to serve the LIVING GOD! Hebrews nine. The Old Covenant was completely full of dead wood. It could never save. Our works even good works stink like filthy rags. Jesus is right in His saving redeeming mankind. He is strong to do the work of salvation. We can actually minister to God now with our life.
So Access is through the Son whereby we may boldly come to Him, (that‘s down here.) God hates legalism and sin because sin kills and makes our bodies die in a conglomerate of destructive ways. Though in sin there is pleasure for a few moments in the end it stings like a death or poison to the body or bee-sting. Consequences to our sin can follow. But faith-relationship is then and only then by God’s grace in this right living lifestyle Jesus provides in God's salvation possible in turning to Christ from sin. You must be born twice. When anyone realizes the way Christ Died matters and for them shine, and was FOR them individually and is crafted and is valid they can then admit they’re wrong before God because at sometime with the Holy Spirit’s help (and grace alone,) they know how fallen is mankind, the human race, is, and they personally realize, at some point, too, individually, realize that, that to trust Jesus Christ to save them and BE SAVED and have NEW LIFE and a NEW HOPE of being in Heaven under God‘s Hand is a priority. Do your best to meet Him in life encountering Him for your life. Pray and believe in His power to be able to aid and deliver. The Old Covenant failed in its mission. Jesus succeeds in His Missionary Priestly Mission in New Testament calling. Ask for forgiveness admitting you’re a sinner, and know God loves you, and accept God’s plans patterns for you in salvation in Heavenly places where you sit, walk, and stand in Him, and follow Him in His victory won!!! Live in Christ a crucified, buried, and Resurrected life out of the empty Tomb and blessed!!! See yourself the way God does. Read Ephesians, then the Gospel of John, and then Matthew’s Gospel for revelation and the entire Bible! Dave Candel 3/6/2012
