Finally, Brethren, awake from your sleep and amend your lackluster ways

Finally, Brethren, awake from your sleep, and amend your lackluster ways.

Where is love?
Figs do not grow from thorns: It is time to wake up; It is time to know repentance; justice, mercy, faithfulness.

"Why are you sleeping?
Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

Today many Christians live so easily misunderstanding matters pertaining to GOD, and in their walk they are as they are; Spiritually asleep, unable to know and being unaware of just how far removed they are from GOD.
And in this also, there is no truly bringing others to CHRIST, and in CHRIST Alone to their Salvation.

But Christians are merely going through the motions, attending church on a Sunday or Saturday depending upon the man made denomination they choose to hold to, more so by habit and by it being no more than habit is their knowing no Spiritual growth in themselves; and accordingly so there is no Spiritual growth in The Church.
The Power Of GOD is not seen working and is not even known in order for it to be recognised and seen working.

And because for the most part we are as we are, such warnings in Scripture are not heard by the many to being recognised by them, and so it is that they go unheeded.
Such as, Revelation 2:1-7, Revelation 3:1-6, Hebrews 2:1 - 6:8, and also the reason why Peter writes to speak as he does; 2 Peter 3.

It is a Spiritual sleep, living from day to day in the flesh, not knowing to stay alert or even what means in the Spiritual of being alert, and so they yet still habitually succumb to the temptations of the flesh, unable to see that they are unknowingly living abiding in death in their practicing them; and consequently not knowing to even desire to live as One; their being in peace with one another; that the world may indeed see to believe; John 17:14-23.

And in it all they see no wrong in what is being done by them in the name of Christian, despite these words of warning given for us all to take heed of and pay attention to; because of what is Coming and, just as The LORD HIMSELF Says, in the manner it will Come;

..."Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the time is.
"Like a man, away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.

"Therefore, be on the alert - for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, at cockcrowing, or in the morning - lest he come suddenly and find you asleep.

"And what I Say to you I Say to all,
'Be on the alert!' "
Mark 13:33-37.

For the many, Scripture is interpreted only by their religion and their fleshly understanding of The Sacred Writings, and this is a cause of their Spiritual unawareness; their Spiritual sleep.
It is being much like an unruly child that has not applied itself to its guardian's discipline, neither knowing nor wanting to know to endure the essential discipline in order to know right from wrong.
And these are always learning, yet in their learning never knowing according to GOD what is right from wrong in their spirit according to The SPIRIT Of GOD.

In The Word Of GOD; The Word Of Righteousness that is The Solid Food of It, and is not in one's own interpretation of The GOD Breathed Word, nor is it that the untaught are able to know the ability of the mature, who because of practice thereof have their senses trained, Spiritually, to discern good and evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-24, Hebrews 5:11 - 6:8.

Pride and arrogance cannot learn to grow In The LORD GOD, but only the humble; whose hearts are in The Will Of GOD. Psalm 119:144, Ephesians 5:14-21, Philippians 1:9-11.

...It Is for discipline that you endure; GOD Deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much more be subject to The FATHER Of spirits, and Live?

For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but HE Disciplines us for good, that we may share HIS Holiness.

All Discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been Trained by It, afterwards It yields the peaceful fruit of Righteousness...
Hebrews 12:7-11.

But in any of the false teachings; the false doctrines that abound in the world, the one who will be a partaker of these will only know to discipline himself as he himself sees fit, and in it all never being able to come to the knowledge of The Truth; because he is not learning from GOD.

Many may read such as Romans chapters 14 & 15, but to them it is, just as all Scripture appears to them, words they read on paper and without perceiving to truly understand what this means for them and the change in their hearts and minds they would and should know with being evident to all, along with the understanding and knowledge they would now acquire as they grow in The Grace and Knowledge Of GOD.

And by this they would know, if they were indeed walking according to GOD In CHRIST JESUS, their not doing the things they will still so easily do and with no provoking of their conscience known by them in their continuing in what is before GOD, sin.

If they did know as we ought to understand then such as Romans 15:13-14 would speak to them so much more than it proves to do for the majority of Christians today.

Now may The GOD Of Hope fill you with all joy and peace In believing, that you may abound in hope by The Power Of The HOLY SPIRIT.
And concerning you, my Brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able also to admonish one another.

We have given to us in The Scriptures the examples of men and women of faith, who gained approval by their faith and we have examples of their faith in Scripture, as well as their mistakes.
And with this we are also told;

... Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance (1 Corinthians 9:24-27, 2 Timothy 2:1-16) the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on JESUS, The Author And Perfecter of faith, WHO for the joy set before HIM endured the cross, despising the shame, and has Sat Down At The Right Hand of The Throne Of GOD.
For consider HIM WHO has endured such hostility by sinners against HIMSELF, so that you may not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 12:1-3.

And for those with ears to hear, we are instructed in and by The Living And Abiding Word Of GOD; The Sacred Writings which are able to give to us the wisdom unto Salvation through faith that is in CHRIST JESUS (2 Timothy 3:15-17), through WHOM is preached to us Forgiveness of sins (Acts 13:38-39), that this Salvation is ours, but only when we will live believing in HIM, which means believing in all HIS Words and HIS Example for us to follow in HIS Steps
(1 John 5:11-12, John 12:44-50, John 13:34-35, John 15:12-17, John 17:16-18).

As The LORD JESUS Says of HIMSELF, so it is meant for us also;
"MY Food is to do The Will of HIM WHO Sent ME, and to Accomplish HIS Work...
John 4:34 (Matthew 4:4).

But given the division that exists today (and no one can deny that this division is clearly apparent, unless they are so blind) it is accompanied by speaking with knowing only to be defiantly stubborn and with all that is contrary to humility, even without knowing to first seek to understand GOD'S Truth before opening the mouth to defend any beliefs and actions in and by their own wisdom and understanding of what is Spiritual; but in truth is only according to the flesh.

And they know only to do this, remaining fleshly and divided, judgemental and knowing partiality and arrogance in their perception of themselves with others, rather than knowing the only way there is by which we learn and may understand the Spiritual in order to truly perceive; in humility, through Sanctification By The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth toward our knowing GOD; that is, our living in our time in this world growing from faith to faith toward our understanding GOD and living accordingly.

The one who knows to do so shall always be mindful of his own wretchedness; and not in any feigned or hypocritical declaration of it where they gladly profess to acknowledge something but cannot see to acknowledge what they still are as professing Christians, and because they are still Spiritually blind to their wretchedness.
But as the Apostle Paul and all those who are Of GOD knew and know of theirs and will speak to the praise and Glory of GOD.
(Romans 7:14-25, Psalm 77, Psalm 119:81-83, Psalm 119:137-144, Psalm 119:169-176, Psalm 130).

But many today, many today do not know this of themselves in light of the Purity and Holiness of GOD, but instead they will consider themselves as being something and someone.
And so they err because of their not knowing The Scriptures nor The Power Of GOD.

Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise.
Which, having no chief, officer or ruler, prepares her food in the summer, gathers her provision in the harvest.

How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?

"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest" - and your poverty will come in like a vagabond, and your need like an armed man.

A worthless person, a wicked man, is the one who walks with a false mouth, who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who points with his fingers;
Who with perversity in his heart devises evil continually, who spreads strife.

Therefore his calamity will come suddenly;
Instantly he will be broken, and there will be no healing.

There are six things which The LORD Hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to HIM:
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil, a false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among Brothers.
Proverbs 6:6-19

For the ruthless will come to an end and the scorner will be finished,
Indeed all who are intent on doing evil will be cut off;
Who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate,
And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments...
Isaiah 29:20-21.

To know GOD is to love HIM, and if we love GOD then as The LORD JESUS Says, we will keep HIS Commandments; and as HIS Apostles tell us, HIS Commandments will not be weighty; they will not prove to being burdensome to us. 1 John 5:1-5.

To confess JESUS Is The SON Of GOD is to believe in all HIS Words; and to be believing in all HIS Words is to show to openly obey HIM, living by HIS Example; Luke 12:8-9.

...but whoever keeps HIS Word, in him the love of GOD has truly been perfected.
By this we know that we are In HIM; the one who says he abides In HIM ought himself to walk in the same manner as HE Walked...
1 John 2:5-6

And so for us all, this is how we know just how and when it is that the true light now shines:

"By this all men will know that you are MY Disciples, if you have love for one another."
John 13:35

The one who says he is in The Light and hates his Brother is in the darkness until now.
The one who loves his Brother abides in The Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
But the one who hates his Brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
1 John 2:9-11

If someone says,
"I love GOD,"
and hates his Brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his Brother whom he has seen, cannot love GOD WHOM he has not seen (has not perceived so as to experience and then take heed of).
And this is The Commandment we have from HIM, that the one who loves GOD should (will) love his Brother also...
1 John 4:20-21.

If we have not seen GOD, as John writes here, it means that we do not understand GOD in order to acknowledge and obey HIM; and love does not ever rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices only with The Truth. 1 Corinthians 13.

Hate: malicious and unjustifiable feelings towards others, whether towards the innocent or by mutual animosity. This is not practiced by GOD'S children. Luke 6:22, John 3:20-21.
Hating The Light; John 15:24, Titus 3:1-3, 1 John 2:9-11, 1 John 3:15, is not what is done by those who are being Led By The SPIRIT Of GOD.

In 1 John 3:15, he who hates his Brother, as hate is defined above, is called a murderer; because the sin lies in the inward disposition, of which the act is in the outward expressions of either anger, slander, malice, enmities, strife, disputes, dissensions, and the like.

Many who profess to believe still know to  practice any of these fleshly traits (they lust and do not have; and so because the flesh with its traits is still alive and well, is why they are still known and practiced) and do not know any conviction in their spirit when doing so; even though to do such as this means, according to GOD, that this one is showing themselves to still be a friend of the world.
And they shall not, whilst apart from Godly repentance, because being apart from Godly repentance they will not and cannot, Inherit The Kingdom Of Heaven.

What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you?
Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

You lust and do not have; so you commit murder.
And you are envious and cannot obtain; you fight and quarrel.

You ask and do not Receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend on your pleasures.

You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward GOD?
Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of GOD.

Or do you think that The Scripture Speaks to no purpose:
"The SPIRIT Which HE has made to dwell in us Jealously Desires us"?
James 4:1-5

'You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbour;
I AM The LORD.
'You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbour, but shall not incur sin because of him.
'You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself;
I AM The LORD.
Leviticus 19:16-18 (Galatians 5:19-21).

This Scripture applies to Christians two fold; one is because we now, in The New Covenant, live to establish The Law through faith (Romans 3:31 & 8:2-4) and two, our fellow Christian is our fellow countryman (Ephesians 2:18-21, Galatians 3:21-29 & 4:22-31).

...The LORD Was Pleased For HIS Righteousness' Sake to Make The Law Great And Glorious...
Isaiah 42:21

And so it is why we are and must be born again, not of seed which is perishable but Imperishable; through The Living and Abiding Word Of GOD; 1 Peter 1:23-25.

So what then is stubble compared to the wheat?

Why do so many choose what is worthless in their forsaking what is precious and to not allow through them The LORD for HIS Righteousness' Sake to make The Law Great And Glorious?

It is The Word Implanted which is able to Save our souls; and yet we live as professing Christians in contradiction to The Word, forsaking The Word to follow our own reasonings in our own understanding and strength and interpretation of what is The Living and Abiding Word Of GOD.
And this is with all those that live such a lie, their exchanging what gives Life for what brings death, because they cannot perceive in order to understand as we ought to; and just as The LORD JESUS Says:

"It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words that I Have Spoken to you are Spirit and are Life.
"But there are some of you who do not believe."...
John 6:63-64

And again;

..."He who rejects ME, and does not receive MY Sayings, has One WHO Judges him; The Word I Spoke is what will Judge him at the Last Day.
"For I did not Speak on MY Own Initiative, but The FATHER HIMSELF WHO Sent ME Has Given ME Commandment, what to Say, and what to Speak.
"And I Know that HIS Commandment Is Eternal Life; therefore the things I Speak, I Speak just as The FATHER Has Told ME."
John 12:48-50.

Why then would any as a professing follower of CHRIST; as one who claims to learn from HIM as HIS disciple, then prove to be so foolish to say and to speak from their own initiative when even GOD'S MESSIAH did not, but HIMSELF in the Days of HIS Flesh Walked by The SPIRIT Of GOD?
The answer is, they will do so and when they do so it is because of the flesh.
John 16:12-15.

For the many, in their not understanding the simplicity of The Message and exactly what is from GOD for them and for all to understand, which cannot be understood nor even perceived to its full realisation through mere fleshly strength and wisdom, but comes by The SPIRIT and through faith; that is, by our walking according to The SPIRIT Of GOD (and what hinders this is always the flesh), they will show by their actions; words and deeds, to not knowing what our conduct as Christians is to be and that it is according to The ONE in WHOM they profess their faith to be in.

Many, though they profess to know, will show by their conduct, both in their words and their deeds, to not knowing what love is; what love will and will not do; and just as we all are Called to become in the Purpose Of GOD; Romans 8:28-30; imitators of CHRIST; our walking according to The SPIRIT Of GOD; to live upholding The Word Of GOD; establishing The Law Of GOD through faith; Romans 3:31, Romans 8:2-4; our walking according to CHRIST; John 15:12.

...In whole burnt offerings and sacrifice for sin THOU Hast Taken No Pleasure...
Hebrews 10:6

"Has The LORD as much Delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying The Voice Of The LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, to heed than the fat of rams.
"For rebellion is as the sin of divination and insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry.
1 Samuel 16:22-23a.

Clearly then, it is more pleasing to GOD and what GOD does indeed Desire in HIS offspring is for them to obey rather than being those who will profess to believe in HIM yet constantly and repeatedly asking, 'LORD, Forgive me,' and never overcoming nor desiring to overcome.

Because for some, and more true to say would be that this is true of the majority, they walk in such a manner that they cannot even see to realise when it is that they are still sinning, because their heart is not truly a heart after GOD'S Own Heart; and they miss completely the Purpose Of GOD for us all In HIS SON, which is to know and to understand what constitutes sin to our overcoming sin; our dying to The Law, meaning that we become dead to sin and alive to Righteousness.

Therefore, my Brethren, you also were Made to die to The Law Through The Body Of CHRIST, that you might be joined to Another, to HIM WHO was Raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit for GOD. (Galatians 3:22-27 & 4:4-7)

For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were by The Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

But now we have been Released from The Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in Newness Of The SPIRIT (in and by The SPIRIT Leading our spirit) and not in oldness of The Letter.

What shall we say then?
Is The Law sin?
May it never be!
On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through The Law; for I would not have known about coveting if The Law had not said,
"You shall not covet."

But sin, taking opportunity through The Commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from The Law sin is dead.
Romans 7:6-8.

And for the many, though they live professing to be a Christian they are living as not being apart from The Law, because they yet still live according to the flesh, and the sinful passions, which are by the Law, are still at work in the members of their body and bringing forth fruit for death.

The tongue is often a chief member in this rebellion to Divine Authority, because it speaks from that which fills the heart, and the heart is only Cleansed through faith.

And they do this, though their religion and choice of what means faith to them and its interpretation of The Scriptures will tell them that they are no longer under The Law, and they do not know the Spiritual discernment to align what it is they will do being in line with what The Will Of GOD is, and this is how and why they cannot hear what The SPIRIT Says to The Churches.

And they will hold to this way, even though GOD through HIS MESSIAH, HIS Word and by HIS Holy Apostles Says that it is those who walk By The SPIRIT are those who not under The Law, and that those who walk By The SPIRIT will not carry out the desires of the flesh; Galatians 5:16-18, Romans 6:14-15.

GOD Purifies our hearts but only through faith in JESUS, and that is all as is according to GOD.
1 John 3:3, 1 John 4:17, 2 Peter 1:1-11.

Some if even reading this, written in attempt to explain, would still not understand and would choose to refuse it.

And those still of such a fleshly demeanor do walk believing themselves saved yet showing to those with eyes to see and with ears to hear as still bearing fruit for death as they continue practicing any of the deeds of the flesh, not knowing conviction in their mind and spirit nor The Kindness Of GOD that leads us to repentance:

And so they still practice any of these things: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry (Colossians 3:5-6), sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which we are forewarned and have always been forewarned, that those who practice such things shall not Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD. Galatians 5:13-21, 1 Corinthians 15:50.

Our uncleanness before GOD, because of the weakness of the flesh, is overcome when we will present the members of our body as slaves to Righteousness, resulting in Sanctification. Romans 6:15-23.

And our Sanctification comes through our walking by The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth; being obedient from the heart and committed only to The Teaching of JESUS CHRIST that conforms to Godliness. Luke 17:1-10, 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

When there is strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossips, malice, arrogance and disturbances between Christians for whatever the reason and no matter the reason, then and according to GOD we are still walking like mere men; we are continuing in sin; we still live bringing forth fruit for death, having not repented of the impurity and sensuality in which we show ourselves yet still walking, and in many cases even unknowingly practicing.

Because in this disobedience to CHRIST we are still living according to the flesh, and in living according to the flesh and not according to GOD'S Word and Purpose In HIS SON - by The SPIRIT Of GOD - we can only expect to die, Romans 8:12-14; though many will still do so and even so they still expect, because of what they choose to believe in and follow, to live eternally.

But the truth is that apart from repentance these shall hear the words that no professing Christian will ever want to hear and should fear to hear, of this Scripture proving to be true of them; Matthew 7:21-27 (v 21-23).

These lived in disregard to The Word; proving themselves disobedient to The Word; though they could not see it and they refused to listen:

...And do not grieve The HOLY SPIRIT Of GOD, By WHOM you were Sealed for The Day Of Redemption.
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as GOD In CHRIST also has forgiven us.

Therefore be imitators of GOD, as Beloved children; and walk in love, just as CHRIST also Loved us, and Gave HIMSELF Up for us, an Offering and a Sacrifice to GOD as a Fragrant Aroma...
Ephesians 4:30 - 5:2

And so, as those who have been Chosen Of GOD, Holy and Beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as The LORD Forgave you, so also should you.
And beyond all these things love, which is the perfect bond of unity.
And let the peace of CHRIST Rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were Called in One Body; and be thankful...
Colossians 3:12-15.

The Law is Spiritual, but we, being of the flesh, are carnal; enslaved to sin (Romans 7:14, Isaiah 64:6) and inescapably bound to The Law by it (the sting of death is sin and the power of sin is The Law)

Now we know that whatever The Law says, it speaks to those who are under The Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to GOD; because by the works of The Law no flesh will be Justified In HIS Sight; for through The Law comes the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:19-20.

As Christians:

If we hate as hate is before GOD, and however it will manifest itself, we are then wilfully sinning.

If we maintain division, then we are wilfully sinning.

If we will cause and uphold strife, then we are wilfully sinning.

If we will bear with pride foolishness in ourselves, then we are sinning.

If we will hold to whatever is evil in character, then we are sinning.

If we are not walking towards moral perfection as defines a Saint according to GOD, then we are continuing in sin; walking the broad way that leads to destruction.

If we are doing any of these things, and even if we cannot see that we are doing any of these things, still the responsibility for it lies solely with ourselves and we shall give account to GOD. This should cause fear.

But love does not know to do any of these things and there is no fear in love; but Perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:15-18); and love is the fulfillment of The Law.

The sting of death is sin and the power of sin is The Law.
1 Corinthians 15:56

Only death and love render The Law as nought; rendering The Law as being inoperative (Romans 7:4-6); Ezekiel 33:12-20.

It is why a man Of GOD such as Paul knew from his heart to speak and to write:

Grace to you and Peace from GOD our FATHER, and The LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO Gave HIMSELF for our sins, that HE might Deliver us out of this present evil age, according to The Will Of our GOD And FATHER, to WHOM The Glory forevermore. Amen.
Galatians 1:3-5.

And,

...but thanks be to GOD, WHO Gives us the victory Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Therefore, my Beloved Brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in The Work of The LORD, knowing that your toil is not vain In The LORD.
1 Corinthians 15:57-58

And,

...yet with respect to The Promise Of GOD, he (Abraham) did not waver in unbelief, but grew strong in faith, giving Glory to GOD, and being fully assured that what HE Had Promised, HE was Able also to Perform.
Therefore also it was Reckoned to him as Righteousness.
Romans 4:20-22.

And do we believe that we live with the faith of Abraham?

Clearly, many show that they do not do so and by their actions they show that they cannot see they do not do so, but are merely living as deceived and deceiving, believing and also believed on by others of the same nature that they are right before GOD.

They profess to being Christian, and they, even though still not all, will regularly read The Scriptures, but they do not live as showing to being fully assured that what GOD Promises in HIS Word to us HE is able also to Perform; and this is because they still live by the flesh and in the strength and wisdom of the flesh, and so are unable to see what it is they do in light of The Word Of GOD and in The Light Of CHRIST.

They do not have faith to the preserving of the soul, though they believe of themselves and will deceive others also of what means faith and that they have faith that is to the preserving of the soul.

In it all they live misinterpreting and misunderstanding such as these verses:

And The Law came in that the transgression might increase (Romans 7:7); but where sin increased, Grace abounded all the more, that, as sin reigned in death, even so Grace might reign through Righteousness to Eternal Life Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD...
Romans 5:20-21.

This, in a short explanation, is telling us that the more we realise what indeed constitutes sin before GOD, Grace abounds all the more to us, that, as sin reigned in death, now to us Grace might reign through Righteousness to Eternal Life Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD, and just as the proceeding words in chapter 6 explain and instruct.

We need to wake up and learn to understand according to GOD what it is we are reading every day in The Scriptures, that you may know Godly repentance in discipline and no longer be considered by GOD HIMSELF and according to all HIS Word as being illegitimate children.

When we die to The Law because of The Law, we are living to establish The Law through faith; we are now living to GOD.

Those who will understand so that they are seeking to do this are those who are under Grace; and GOD'S Grace Is always Sufficient for them: GOD'S Grace proves as not Given to them in vain. 2 Corinthians 6:1 - 7:1.

By faith we uphold the authority of The Law so that we are no longer under The Law; and then it is by our living in Newness of our spirit that Grace reigns through Righteousness to Eternal Life.

This is the one who lives as crucified with CHRIST, and they live, yet it is not they who live, but CHRIST lives in them, so that the life they now live in the flesh they are living by faith in The SON Of GOD, WHO Loved them, and Delivered HIMSELF Up for them.
These have in their conscience not to live to nullify The Grace Of GOD, which is to be wilfully sinning; living contrary to The Word Of GOD; the same Word all shall one Day soon be Judged by. Romans 2.

The child Of GOD lives by The Word Of GOD; living toward understanding The Word and their being Sanctified in The Truth; The Sacred Writings which are able to give the wisdom that leads to Salvation through faith in CHRIST JESUS.

By always living in and by our flesh we are absolutely incapable of pleasing GOD.

And without faith it is impossible to please, for he who comes to GOD must believe that HE Is and that HE Is A Rewarder of those who seek HIM.
Hebrews 11:6.

Whilst in our flesh, no matter how hard we will strive, no matter how determined we may be or how well we believe we are doing, when we will live walking according to the flesh then our sentiment and opinions will always be from and of the fleshly wisdom; being in and by our own ability; and the day will always show it.
We will not be able to exist any differently to how we actually are by our own and very earthy nature and in its own strength and wisdom; and just as a leopard cannot change its spots.

"Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?
Then you can also do good who are accustomed to do evil.
Jeremiah 13:23.

As Christians, we cannot live to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Yet metaphorically so, this is how many professing Christians are living today, doing both evil and what it is that they themselves will see as good, yet in it all they are doing no more than continuing in sin.
Romans 1:29 - 2:16.

When lust has conceived it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. Always.
Do not be deceived. James 1:12-22.

For whoever keeps the whole Law and yet stumbles in one, he has become guilty of all.
For HE WHO Said,
"Do not commit adultery," also said,
"Do not commit murder."

Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of The Law.

So speak and so act as those who are to be Judged by The Law of Liberty.
For Judgement will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgement...
James 2:10-13.

But this, our living fulfilling The Royal Law, according to The Scripture,
"You shall love your neighbour as yourself," for the most, many still do not know to do, yet will believe of themselves that they do.

But now, In CHRIST, those who do actually walk By The SPIRIT are now able to understand so as to perceive differently and will begin and shall maintain to live to establish The Law through faith, not backsliding but attaining and remaining to that standard they have reached and always moving forward toward Spiritual growth and with this their Salvation; so that these shall be recognisable and are recognised by their Brethren in and by their doing so.
Romans 8:5-11. Philippians 3:9 - 4:1.

... being manifested that you are a letter Of CHRIST, cared for by us, written not with ink, but with The SPIRIT Of The Living GOD, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts.

And such confidence we have Through CHRIST toward GOD.
Not that we are confident in ourselves to consider anything as from ourselves, but our adequacy is from GOD, WHO also Made us adequate servants of a New Covenant, not of The Letter, but Of The SPIRIT; for The Letter kills, but The SPIRIT Gives Life.

But if the ministry of death, in letters Engraved on stones came with Glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the Glory of his face, fading as it was, how shall The Ministry Of The SPIRIT fail to be even more with Glory?...
2 Corinthians 3:3-8.

And The Ministry Of The SPIRIT cannot and does not fail; it is those who profess to being partakers, but are not so, who are what and who is failing; because they do not walk according to The SPIRIT and is why GOD does not shine in their hearts to give the light of the knowledge of The Glory Of GOD in The Face Of CHRIST; even though they themselves will believe of themselves that they do.
But these are those who merely live only knowing to justify themselves in their walk and this fact in itself is enough to show them for who and what they truly are.

And just as GOD Called and they would not listen, so they call to GOD and HE will not listen.

Those who do walk in Truth just as Truth Is In JESUS shall be those of whom Scripture speaks; that GOD Makes a Covenant with them; and they walk in HIS Covenant, where HE Puts HIS Laws into their minds and HE Will Write them upon their hearts;
And they shall not teach everyone his fellow Citizen and everyone his Brother, saying,
'Know The LORD,'
For all shall know HIM, from the least to the greatest of them.
Because GOD Will Be Merciful to their iniquities, and HE Will Remember their sins no more. Hebrews 8:7-13.

To know GOD is to understand GOD; and to know The Only True GOD And JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE Has Sent Is Eternal Life. John 17:3.

The reason GOD is now Merciful to our iniquities and HE Will Remember our sins no more is because now our sins are no longer ever before HIM as they were before in our ignorance to GOD and to sin.
This is when we are now living, by Grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST, as those who are dying to sin in order to live to Righteousness; according to The Purpose Of GOD In HIS SON; according to Prophecy; according to all The Word Of GOD; according to The SPIRIT Of GOD; wherein The New Covenant HE Puts HIS Laws into the mind and HE Will Write them upon the heart.

In Romans 3:25,  ... because in The Forbearance Of GOD HE Passed Over the sins previously committed;... this is speaking not of GOD'S Forgiveness but of HIS Suspension of punishment for sins (Romans 2:4), which must and will come, unless the sinner lives by faith in JESUS as accepting and is a participant in and of The New Covenant.
GOD'S Forbearance here is a holding back; a delay of Punishment for sin which shall indeed Come with HIS Wrath upon a CHRIST rejecting world.

But for the most part, this, according to Prophecy and fulfilled in CHRIST The LORD, is not what we see among Christians today (though many believe of themselves that they are right before GOD and are living according to GOD In CHRIST JESUS), and from what we read in The Scriptures there is seen a great contradiction which the many walk not seeing nor being able to see, because they are not understanding according to GOD, even though they will walk professing to be followers of JESUS CHRIST and Disciples of HIS.

For the most part we walk as an assembly of treacherous men.
And we cannot see that we are as treacherous men before GOD and according to HIS Word to us.
And for the most part, Christians today most certainly are treacherous and they show to live, by their own words and deeds, as being so.
They do not see of themselves as we are before GOD and because of pride and arrogance they cannot see of themselves just what, in truth, man is before GOD but for HIS Grace, Patience and Mercy:

"How then can a man be just with GOD?
Or how can he be clean who is born of a woman?
"If even the moon has no brightness and the stars are not pure In HIS Sight, how much less man, that maggot, and the son of man, that worm!"
Job 25:4-6.

At The Judgement on the earth and thereafter:

...Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed, for The LORD Of Hosts Will Reign On Mount Zion And In Jerusalem, and Glory will be before HIS elders.
Isaiah 24:23

"No longer will you have the sun for light by day, nor for brightness will the moon give you light;
But you will have The LORD For An Everlasting Light, and your GOD for your Glory.
"Your sun will set no more, neither will your moon wane;
For you will have The LORD For An Everlasting Light, and the days of your mourning will be finished.
Isaiah 60:19-20.

And to us now, in this life as we sojourn here on earth and in comparison to the First Covenant, this is how a man Of GOD now sees to understand:

...how shall The Ministry Of The SPIRIT fail to be even more with Glory?

For if the ministry of condemnation has Glory, much more does the ministry of Righteousness abound in Glory.

For indeed what had Glory, in this case has no Glory on account of The Glory that Surpasses.

For if that which fades away was with Glory, much more that which remains Is In Glory.
Having therefore such a Hope, we use great boldness in speech...
2 Corinthians 3:8-12a

And because they cannot see what it is now they are offering up in The Name of JESUS CHRIST is why they cannot hear what GOD Says to and of such as these and throughout all HIS Word; our understanding is Given by The HOLY SPIRIT; and we receive The SPIRIT Of GOD through faith.

They do not hear because the truth for many is that;

...These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their lusts they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of advantage.

But you, Beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that they were saying to you,

"In the last time there shall be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts."

These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of The SPIRIT.

But you, Beloved, building yourselves up on your most Holy faith; praying In The HOLY SPIRIT; keep yourselves in The Love Of GOD, waiting anxiously for The Mercy Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST to Eternal Life.

And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh...
Jude: 16-23.

Many today merely walk toward and for their own ends.
They are those who even hold positions in The Church and are those who speak to millions publicly via Christian tv, the internet, books and dvd's or in producing Christian music, but they are, in truth, working only for their own benefit, advantage and profit; and their hearts are, in truth, far removed from GOD.

These do not know the love Of GOD being in themselves, and they show it by their actions and also in their positions they will attain for themselves in the church and because of The Church, and they shall prove so also when their doctrine is questioned by any who know and in light of The Word Of GOD.

Many who are pastors today, for an example, instead of humbly knowing to examine The Scriptures will use the authority they believe is theirs and will refuse any correction, even putting people out of the church for daring to challenge them as they see it and marking them as trouble makers who are speaking and acting contrary to GOD and because they are challenging them and their views, perception and interpretation of the Scriptures.

I have personally known such as these, who are full of judgement and condemnation of others because of their spirit, but they themselves see that Grace is somehow always sufficient for them, even though they are unseeing of their own fleshly nature of their conduct. And this is rife in The Church today.

They are greedy dogs which can never have enough and they are shepherds that cannot understand; they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, knowing not to be satisfied.
(Romans 16:17-18, Jeremiah 23:29-32, Micah 3:4-7).

Before any who are reading here will so quickly deny this and refuse that this is speaking even of themselves in their perception of Spiritual matters; that they are of those who are being deceived and deceiving, and that the man who writes these words does not know what he is talking about and is speaking from himself nothing more than empty words, just please read on to see and examine everything carefully. That is, if you care to hear and indeed are able to hear.

"He who is Of GOD hears The Words Of GOD; for this reason you do not hear, because you are not Of GOD."
John 8:47.

But as many as received HIM, to them HE Gave the right to become children Of GOD, to those who believe in HIS Name, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD.
John 1:12-13

"It Is Written in the Prophets,
'And they shall all be taught Of GOD.'

Everyone who has heard and learned from The FATHER, comes to ME.
"Not that any man has seen (discerned clearly, to experience; to take heed of) The FATHER, except The ONE WHO Is from GOD; HE Has Seen The FATHER.
"Truly, truly, I Say to you, he who believes has Eternal Life...
John 6:45-47

"I Manifested THY Name to the men whom THOU Gavest ME out of the world; THINE they were, and THOU Gavest them to ME, and they have kept THY Word.

"Now they have come to know that everything THOU Hast Given ME is from THEE; for The Words which THOU Gavest ME I Have Given to them; and they received and truly understood that I Came Forth from THEE, and they believed that THOU Didst Send ME...
John 17:6-8

By this the children Of GOD and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice Righteousness is not Of GOD, nor the one who does not love his Brother.
1 John 3:10

Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in The Teaching Of CHRIST, does not have GOD; the one who abides in The Teaching, he has both The FATHER And The SON...
2 John:9

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good.
The one who does good is Of GOD; the one who does evil has not seen (has not discerned clearly, experienced, to take heed of) GOD.
3 John:11

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from GOD; and everyone who loves is born Of GOD and knows GOD.
The one who does not love does not know (does not have knowledge of, does not understand) GOD, for GOD Is Love.
1 John 4:7-8.

...for with the heart man believes, resulting in Righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in Salvation...
Romans 10:10

Since you have in obedience to The Truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the Brethren, fervently love one another from the heart...
1 Peter 1:22

...And even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see The Light Of The Gospel Of The Glory Of CHRIST, WHO Is The Image Of GOD...
2 Corinthians 4:3-4

"And they bend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and not truth prevail in the land;
For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know ME," Declares The LORD.

"Let everyone be on guard against his neighbour, and do not trust any brother;
Because every brother deals craftily, and every neighbour goes about as a slanderer.

"And everyone deceives his neighbour, and does not speak The Truth.
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves commiting iniquity.

"Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit;
Through deceit they refuse to know ME," Declares The LORD.
Jeremiah 9:3-6.

We must understand because it is true that not all who profess to believe shall see to hear as The Scriptures speak.
And they are unable to see because their hearts are hardened, and they remain hardened because they yet still operate according to the flesh.

Not all have faith.
2 Thessalonians 2:13 - 3:5.

Again, as Paul writes;

And even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see The Light Of The Gospel of The Glory Of CHRIST, WHO Is The Image Of GOD.

For we do not preach ourselves but CHRIST JESUS as LORD, and ourselves as your bond-servants for JESUS' Sake.

For GOD, WHO Said, "Light Shall Shine out of darkness," is The ONE WHO has Shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of The Glory Of GOD in The Face of CHRIST.

But we have this Treasure in earthen vessels, that the Surpassing Greatness of The Power may be Of GOD and not from ourselves...
2 Corinthians 4 3-7

And what is contrary to the Apostles' teaching is true even of many of those we will recognise as pastors today; but we just accept them because they are pastors to us; even though many prove themselves to being no more than shepherds who scatter the flock.

They show to prove not understanding exactly what Paul is stating here in 2 Corinthians 4, and they will speak and act accordingly, to their maintaining the deeds of the flesh in HIS Church; such as division, enmities, strife, disputes, dissensions, factions, and things like these, though they will accuse others of the same who do not agree to comply with them and their interpretation of Scripture in their positions as they themselves will see their positions to be.

"Behold, as for the proud one, his soul is not right within him;
But the Righteous will live by his faith.
Habakkuk 2:4

The one whose soul is lifted up, to presume, who is heedless before GOD, this one is not right, is not pleasant, is not prosperous; is not upright; but the just and lawful man is the one who lives by faith; and by his pleasantness, and this being without partiality, by his showing to be Spiritually prosperous, by his showing always to being upright; he shows himself to be just and lawful; he shows his faith and consequently in such a one is how The Grace Of GOD is recognised.

Not all have a cordial heart, but they will stand as one being in possession of such sincerity and graciousness.
These are the hypocrites.

As in water face refects face, so the heart of man reflects man.
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, and a man by the praise accorded him.

Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, his folly will not depart from him.
Proverbs 27:19-23

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of The Law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.
"You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
Matthew 23:23

..."You neglected The ROCK WHO Begot you, and forgot The GOD WHO Gave you birth.
"And The LORD Saw this and Spurned them because of the provocation of HIS sons and daughters.
"There HE Said,
'I Will Hide MY Face from them, I Will See what their end shall be;
For they are a perverse generation, sons in whom there is no faithfulness.
Deuteronomy 32:18-21.

But according to the words of the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, this is how we are to both see and consider ourselves within ourselves in our being Christians, and this is as Paul writes is The Grace Of GOD and Purpose Of GOD In HIS SON for us all.
There are to be no exceptions to this:

... always carrying about in the body the dying Of JESUS, that the life Of JESUS also may be Manifested in our body.
For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for JESUS' Sake, that the life of JESUS also may be Manifested in our mortal flesh...
2 Corinthians 4:10-11.

But many are not living to understand this as It Is Written, but are living in what is still no less than the pride and arrogance of the flesh before both GOD and man.
To understand how every Christian is to consider themselves within themselves, see the Parable of the Guests, Luke 14:7-11.

If we do not know to humble ourselves then we cannot know to learn stepping out in faith in difficult times so as to know and to learn of being burdened beyond our strength in order for us to knowing not to trust in ourselves, but in GOD; no matter of situation or circumstance.

And yet even though not living to knowing these things many today will still believe of themselves that they are Righteous and destined to be with The LORD forever, even though by their actions; words and deeds, they do not show the life of JESUS being Manifested in their mortal flesh; because they do not live as those carrying about in their body the dying Of JESUS; because the truth is that they are wise to themselves and live firstly, and therefore only, for themselves.

And this, despite their own belief of themselves, is because they do not have The SPIRIT Of GOD, because by The SPIRIT Of GOD no man can maintain a spirit of pride and arrogance; but will know to attain to having a humble spirit.
GOD will Teach us only and always to our knowing true humility.
Zephaniah 3:12-13, James 4:5-10, 1 Peter 5:5-6.

When pride comes, then comes dishonour, but with the humble is wisdom.
The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the falseness of the treacherous will destroy them.
Proverbs 11:2-3.

The Righteousness Of GOD is revealed in our living from faith and towards faith (Romans 1:16-17) and we are told in Scripture that our spirit is alive because of Righteousness and that Grace reigns through Righteousness towards Eternal Life because of JESUS CHRIST our LORD; Romans 8:9-11, 1 John 3:23-24, 2 Timothy 1:13-14, Ephesians 1:17-23.

Now The LORD Is The SPIRIT; and where The Spirit Of The LORD Is, is Liberty.
But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror The Glory Of The LORD, are being Transformed into the Same Image from glory to Glory, just as from The LORD, The SPIRIT.

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we Received Mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating The Word Of GOD, but by the manifestation of The Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in The Sight Of GOD...
2 Corinthians 3:17 - 4:2.

But this many show to not knowing by what it is they will do in The Name Of JESUS; they prove as not showing that with them there is Liberty; freedom from the flesh.
Yet for us to call JESUS LORD is to obey HIM, Luke 6:43-49:

...However, you are not in the flesh but in The SPIRIT, if indeed The SPIRIT Of GOD Dwells in you.
But if anyone does not have The Spirit Of CHRIST, he does not belong to HIM.

And if CHRIST is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of Righteousness.

But if The SPIRIT Of HIM WHO Raised JESUS from the dead Dwells in you, HE WHO Raised CHRIST JESUS from the dead will also Give Life to your mortal bodies because of HIS SPIRIT WHO Indwells you...
Romans 8:9-11.

They cannot see to understand the difference between the Righteous and the wicked; the difference between one who serves GOD and one who does not serve HIM, but they live; to speak and to act proving only to serve their own selves.
They only know to do this, despite Scripture stating to all such as;

...So then, Brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh - for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but If By The SPIRIT you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will Live.

For all who are being Led By The SPIRIT Of GOD, these are sons Of GOD...
Romans 8:12-14.

They do not understand the example of Job and when he was righteous in his own eyes (meaning, in his own conceit), but was made right with GOD through his seeing to understand his error and knowing repentance in it.

And we too are not to fear speaking out whenever we see or hear what is contrary to CHRIST and HIS Teaching and Example being taught and upheld by professing Christians and in The Church.

...As an example, Brethren, of suffering and patience, take the Prophets who spoke In The Name Of The LORD.
Behold, we count those Blessed who endured.

You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of The LORD'S Dealings, that The LORD Is Full of Compassion and Merciful.
James 5:10-11.

They do not hear the words of Elihu, the man who spoke to Job and his three friends (from Job chapter 32) on behalf of GOD, which led to GOD, WHO Alone Sees the heart and the end from the beginning (i.e., Job 1:8), Speaking to Job, and to Job's confession and repentance (Job 42).

They do not know to speak from the heart as the Psalmist writes from his:
...I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep THY Word...
Psalm 119:101.

The Christian 101!

And who today among the many who profess to hear GOD actually do hear The Voice Of The LORD as they believe they do and will profess this belief before others as they do?
And in all their living, being easily recognised as those who do indeed live following HIM?

Where HE Is, there shall HIS servant also be; it is never the other way around, and by this we may discern between HIS servant; who is with HIM where HE Is, and one (as are many) who will live to serve himself and in reality functions in and for his own interests whilst standing by and using HIS Name; John 12:24-26, John 14:3-7, John 17:22-26, 2 Corinthians 5:5-8.

In our being where HE Is, we, as the Apostle Paul and any man Of GOD, shall be of those who know to live to die daily; 1 Corinthians 15:31.

In our being where HE Is, we, according to The LORD our GOD, shall be of those who know to and do take up their cross daily; Luke 14:25-35;

"...He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Or do you not know that all of us who have been Baptised into CHRIST JESUS have been Baptised into HIS death?
Therefore we have been buried with HIM through Baptism into death, in order that as CHRIST was Raised from the dead Through The Glory Of The FATHER, so we too might walk in Newness of Life...
Romans 6:3-4

For this perishable must put on the Imperishable, and this mortal must put on Immortality.
But when this perishable will have put on the Imperishable and this mortal will have put on Immortality, then will come about the saying that Is Written,
"Death is swallowed up in victory.
"O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?"

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is The Law; but thanks be to GOD, WHO Gives us the victory Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Therefore, my Beloved Brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in The Work of The LORD (John 6:29), knowing that your toil is not vain In The LORD.
1 Corinthians 15:53-58.

This, that we may rightly know and in our knowing we shall rightly speak, and not as the hypocrite:

But thanks be to GOD, WHO always leads us in HIS Triumph In CHRIST, and Manifests in us the Sweet Aroma of the knowledge of HIM in every place.

For we are a fragrance of CHRIST to GOD among those who are being Saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma of life to Life.
And who is adequate for these things?

For we are not like many, peddling (corrupting) The Word Of GOD, but as from sincerity, but as from GOD, we speak In CHRIST in The Sight Of GOD...
2 Corinthians 2:14-17.

In our being where HE Is and always looking to be so, we shall know to look to walk in the same manner as JESUS Walked; 1 John 2:1-6.

We shall be walking in HIS Steps; 1 Peter 2:21-25.

For us to be Sealed, as is spoken of in Ephesians 1:13-14, Ephesians 4:30-31, 2 Corinthians 5:1-11, is our being Marked for Preservation and accordingly is our bearing witness; to certify; to declare in being correct and true; our being genuine; the evidence being Made Manifest in us by The HOLY SPIRIT and through us as a witness; as imitators of CHRIST.

This is The Truth of CHRIST In GOD and of The Message of The Gospel; this is Eternal Life.

And we know that The SON Of GOD Has Come, and has Given us understanding, in order that we might know HIM WHO Is True, and we are In HIM WHO Is True, In HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.
This Is The True GOD And Eternal Life.
Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
1 John 5:20-21.

But who sees with the eyes of their heart being enlightened?
Who can hear what The Word Of GOD is Speaking to us all By The SPIRIT Of GOD?
There is no other way to our understanding other than according to GOD.
Romans 8:28-30.

"But when HE, The SPIRIT Of Truth Comes, HE Will Guide you into all The Truth; for HE will not Speak on HIS Own Initiative, but whatever HE Hears, HE Will Speak; and HE Will Disclose to you what Is to Come.
"HE Shall Glorify ME; for HE Shall Take of MINE, and Shall Disclose to you...
John 16:13-14.

'He who has an ear, let him hear what The SPIRIT Says to The Churches.
To him who overcomes, I Will Grant him to eat of The Tree of Life, which is in The Paradise Of GOD.' Revelation 2:7

...Be faithful unto death, and I Will Give you The Crown Of Life.
'He who has an ear, let him hear what The SPIRIT Says to The Churches.
He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.'
Revelation 2:10b-11

...'Repent therefore; or else I Am Coming to you quickly, and I Will Make war against them with The Sword of MY Mouth.
'He who has an ear, let him hear what The SPIRIT Says to The Churches.
To him who overcomes, to him I Will Give of The Hidden Manna, and I Will Give him a White Stone, and a New name Written on that Stone which no one knows but him who Receives It.'
Revelation 2:16-17

...'And he who overcomes, and he who keeps MY Deeds until the end, to him I Will Give authority over the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I Also Have Received from MY FATHER; and I Will Give him The Morning Star.
'He who has an ear, let him hear what The SPIRIT Says to The Churches.'
Revelation 2:26-29

...'He who overcomes shall thus be Clothed in white garments; and I Will Not Erase his name from The Book Of Life, and I Will Confess his name before MY FATHER, and before HIS angels.
'He who has an ear, let him hear what The SPIRIT Says to The Churches.'
Revelation 3:5-6

...'I Am Coming quickly; hold fast what you have, in order that no one take your Crown.
'He who overcomes, I Will Make him a pillar in The Temple Of MY GOD, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I Will Write upon him The Name Of MY GOD, and The Name of The City Of MY GOD, The New Jerusalem, which Comes Down out of Heaven from MY GOD, and MY New Name.
'He who has an ear, let him hear what The SPIRIT Says to The Churches.'
Revelation 3:11-13

...'Those whom I Love, I Reprove and Discipline; be zealous therefore, and repent.

'Behold, I Stand at the door and Knock; if anyone hears MY Voice and opens the door, I Will Come into him, and Will Dine With him, and he with ME.
'He who overcomes, I Will Grant him to sit down with ME on MY Throne, as I Also Overcame and Sat Down With MY FATHER On HIS Throne.
'He who has an ear, let him hear what The SPIRIT Says to The Churches.' "
Revelation 3:19-22.

But such sensuality which condemns the one who practices only the natural mind and fleshly wisdom of what false and evil doctrines can only maintain; that with this and because of these things, those who are always and inseparably associated with false doctrine and because The HOLY SPIRIT is not in any of the false teachings and precepts of men; all who will delight in them to follow after them, who will put their trust and their faith is in them; so that they are what their faith becomes and is, they walk yet still:

...in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from The Life Of GOD, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, for the practice of every form of impurity with greediness.

But you did not learn CHRIST in this way, if indeed you have heard HIM and have been Taught in HIM, just as Truth Is In JESUS, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be Renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the New self, which In GOD has been Created in Righteousness and Holiness of The Truth.

Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth, each one with his neighbour, for we are members of one another.

Be angry, and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity.
Ephesians 4:18-27. (Ephesians 5:1-4).

Living by faith in obedience to GOD so that this is how a man Of GOD in truth understands, and so he may and only truthfully speak,

For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit; but just as we have been Approved By GOD to be entrusted with The Gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men but GOD, WHO Examines our hearts...
1 Thessalonians 2:3-4.

This is a Saint; one who is Approved By GOD (James 1:12), in contrast to the liar and the hypocrite who believes he is of the Elect; the Chosen Of GOD, merely because his beliefs of what means faith and his religion he is a partaker of will tell him so, but is no more in truth than being approved only by man.
And following such as this will not save any.

And in this is practicing no more than what is tantamount to blasphemy in mere man made religion and being of no benefit against the flesh (and always his words and deeds will show it) which blindly refuses the Spiritual according to GOD, so that he lives still practicing the deeds that bring forth fruit for death; walking contrary to CHRIST; and not knowing The Fellowship Of The HOLY SPIRIT.

JESUS, By The SPIRIT, Tells us of the heart, as also HIS Apostles, By The SPIRIT, of the need of the heart's Cleansing By The HOLY SPIRIT.

And we know by The Words of JESUS, Given HIM from The FATHER, that from within, out of the heart, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride foolishness; that all these evil things proceed from within and defile the man. Mark 7:14-23.

And James, By The SPIRIT, writes to us and tells us clearly of the pitfalls of the tongue, that it is a fire, the very world of iniquity which defiles our whole body; a restless evil full of deadly poison.

He also tells us of the wisdom from Above, that it is first pure; and this being in us is because Of GOD, WHO Sits as a Smelter And Purifier Over us to refine us like gold and silver, so that we may indeed present to The LORD offerings in Righteousness.

Gold and silver is put through the fire in order to purify it, but for many they walk in such a way as not knowing this Cleansing process of their hearts and minds so that they may indeed serve in Newness of their spirit, because of The SPIRIT Of GOD, (Romans 7:4-6, Romans 8:9-11), so that HE WHO Raised CHRIST JESUS from the dead may and will also Give Life to their mortal bodies; because of HIS SPIRIT WHO Indwells them.

But instead and because of the flesh it is their tongues that are the only fire they know and can only know all the while being apart from Godly repentance, and many cannot see otherwise; the very world of iniquity which cleanses nothing but only defiles; and because of the flesh it sets on fire the course of their lives, and apart from repentance according to GOD, to the fiery hell.

We walk a Narrow Path as Christians, on which Godly wisdom leads in The Way Of Righteousness in the midst of the paths of Judgement.

Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of Life.
Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put devious lips far from you.

Let your eyes look directly ahead, and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.
Watch the path of your feet, and all your ways will be established.

Do not turn to the right nor to the left;
Turn your foot from evil.
Proverbs 4:23-27.

Finding ourselves to be trespassing and onto the broad way that leads to Judgement and destruction is all too easily done and is what shall be reaped by any one of us, because of the flesh.
Proverbs chapter 8.

But everyone who has The Hope of Eternal Life fixed on GOD purifies himself, just as HE Is Pure; 1 John 3:1-10.
And it is for these that GOD'S Grace Is Sufficient.

But it is clear of the many today, that they do not live as those, who are the few, which have The Hope of Eternal Life fixed on GOD, to purify themselves just as HE Is Pure; because their words and deeds show to not having The witness concerning GOD'S SON within themselves; 1 John 5:9-12.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see GOD.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be Called sons Of GOD...
Matthew 5:8-9.

This is just as James then states that thereafter the wisdom from Above being first Pure, it is then peaceable.

Just as Paul tells us In The SPIRIT;
If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men...
Romans 12:18.

As far as it depends on GOD'S children, they will look to be at peace with all men and so they shall seek to be at peace with all men.

But those who are quick to argue, to cause and uphold disunity and strife, who shall stubbornly argue over such things as interpretations without knowing to be humble enough to first see what GOD'S Word to us all says and holding no contradictions, these do not know to subject themselves to The Scriptures in this respect. And neither do they recognise The Grace Of GOD Given to another in their Gifting, which is for the common good.
And so for these, their living is not one accepting The Word Of GOD'S Message for what it really is; The Word Of GOD, which also Performs Its Work in those who believe.
1 Thessalonians 2:13-16.

But yet they still believe and name themselves a Christian, and they will blindly do so despite The Word Of GOD stating to all; and being without partiality;

Pursue peace with all men, and The Sanctification without which no one will see The LORD.
See to it that no one comes short of The Grace Of GOD; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;...
Hebrews 12:14-15.

Then, as James continues, that in being peaceable comes to knowing what is appropriate to accompany this; our being gentle.

As Paul writes to Timothy and in The Foreknowledge Of GOD HE is writing to us all through Paul;

And The LORD'S bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind (gentle) to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps GOD may Grant them repentance leading to The Knowledge Of The Truth, and they may come to their senses from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
2 Timothy 2:24-26.

And as Paul writes to Titus, which again is to us all; knowing there is no partiality with GOD;
to malign no one, to be uncontentious, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.

For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another...
Titus 3:2-3.

And the Instruction is a far cry from what is served up today by professing Christians to GOD in The Name Of JESUS HIS SON.

Clearly and so very sadly, many are practicing the deeds of the flesh and have not repented from the evil which they practice in their ignorance, and not turning toward The Truth Of GOD, even though they believe of themselves that they live to do so and are doing so.

But in this, it is the darkness that has blinded their eyes.

See what Isaiah wrote In The SPIRIT Of GOD, and WHO we are Called to walk as being imitators of, as HIS Beloved children (Ephesians 5:1-2),

Like A SHEPHERD HE Will Tend HIS flock, in HIS Arm HE Will Gather the lambs, and carry in HIS Bosom; HE Will Gently Lead the nursing.
Isaiah 40:11.

As Paul by example writes of himself and those that were with him, of their spirit in the gentleness of wisdom; which some today when spoken to them would somehow determine it to be a harshness and is their choosing to determine it as being harshness toward them, which they will do because of the pride and arrogance of the flesh they still know and hold to, so that when another, because they can see, is merely attempting to show to them that they are blindly living in contradiction to CHRIST or holding to an understanding of Scripture that is in error, they will know to reject them and accuse them and slander.

And they do this because of who they still are and how they themselves still can only perceive.
They discern and think as they do and they presume as they do at how and why others will speak and are speaking to them.
They do not first know to consider it is from such a spirit as this:

For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit; but just as we have been Approved By GOD to be Entrusted with The Gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men but GOD, WHO Examines our hearts.

For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed - GOD Is Witness - nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as Apostles Of CHRIST we might have asserted our authority.

But we proved to be babes (gentle) among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children.

Having thus a fond affection for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only The Gospel Of GOD but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.
1 Thessalonians 2:3-8.

This sentiment, for the many, is not for them and of them today.

Today for the most part, who knows to do this in that they live showing to do this, to even know to speak this way and all the while truly being apart from hypocrisy in it all?

The answer is, very few; because most are selfishly ambitious and live with themselves as lord of and over their own hearts, though they will fein allegiance to CHRIST, deceiving both themselves and others in it all and in the process of their living.

This is why they are not how James then continues to write of the wisdom that is from Above; they are not easily entreated.

They are not so wilfully compliant with The Word Of GOD as one who belongs to CHRIST shall indeed be, can only be and is because the love of CHRIST constrains them.

And this is why those who are not shall prove themselves to being obstinate children, because when they are shown any error that they are in and according to The Word Of GOD; and which they are shown from The Word Of GOD, they are then quick to take offense and to refuse, being quick to argue and accuse; even when they cannot themselves legitimately refuse it from The Word Of GOD as they should know first to do and if what they believe is indeed true according to GOD.

But many do not do so, because they cannot argue their case from The Word to what is being put to them from The Word; and they shall refuse it anyways they can and often resorting to such as Ad Hominem.

Ad Hominem: attacking an opponent's character or motives rather than answering the argument or claim, be that a personal or slanderous attack in order to smear and sometimes even going as far as a smear campaign involving others.

And to get others onside they may even attempt to appeal to that one's fleshly prejudices which they themselves will still hold on to, and they will, in their ignorance to The Truth Of GOD and holding onto that ignorance because of the flesh, attempt to manipulate emotions, manipulating by any special interests they might have, rather than purely according to Spiritual reasoning and intellect and understanding according to The Word; and just as we ought to do as GOD'S children.
Psalm 119:97-104, 1 Corinthians 12:7.

When this is what any will use to challenge an accusation of their wrong doing or supposed misunderstanding of Scripture, then you know and should know that it is the flesh prevailing, because they show further to breaking The Scriptures:

...But he who is Spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no man.
For who has known The Mind Of The LORD, that he should instruct HIM?
But we have The Mind of CHRIST.
1 Corinthians 2:15-16.
1 Thessalonians 5:19-24, 1 John 4:1-6.

And if doing so, in their doing so they are continuing in sin; continuing to show their not being easily entreated; because they do not possess in order to speak by the wisdom from Above that is first pure.
But they prove themselves still to be of what is earthly, natural, demonic; James 3:14-16.

...But The Wisdom from Above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and Good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
And The SEED WHOSE Fruit Is Righteous is sown in peace by those who make peace.
James 3:17-18.

This is peace both with and according to GOD, and not man.

Until The SPIRIT Is Poured Out upon us from On High, and the wilderness becomes a fertile field and the fertile field is considered as a forest.

Then justice will dwell in the wilderness and Righteousness will abide in the fertile field.

And the work of Righteousness will be peace, and the service of Righteousness quietness and confidence forever.
Isaiah 32:15-17

The wicked earns deceptive wages, but he who does Righteousness gets a True Reward.

He who is steadfast in Righteousness will attain to Life, and he who pursues evil his own death.

The perverse in their walk are an abomination to The LORD, but the blameless in their walk are HIS Delight.
Proverbs 11:18-20.

Do not be like them.

Do not be like them because their way is the way of death; and by their ways they show to not bearing The Fruit Of The SPIRIT; Galatians 5:22-26.
But know only to be just as we are Called to be and seek to be as we are instructed By GOD and through the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST; walking towards being blameless in our walk; Philippians 2:1-16.

Sow with a view to Righteousness, reap in accordance with kindness;
Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek The LORD until HE Comes to Rain Righteousness upon you.
Hosea 10:12

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until The Day Of CHRIST; having been Filled with the fruit of Righteousness which Comes Through JESUS CHRIST to The Glory and praise of GOD.
Philippians 1:9-11.

I solemnly charge you in The Presence Of GOD And Of CHRIST JESUS And of HIS Chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.

Do not lay hands upon anyone hastily and thus share the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.
No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to Judgement; for others, their sins follow after.
Likewise also, deeds that are good are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
1 Timothy 5:21-25.

Yet still, despite The Word, they will refuse this as being of themselves and according to themselves.
And they refuse because they cannot see, nor can they hear as they will claim to do.
These are believed by multiple millions of Christians who themselves are equally deceived and as such will themselves inevitability deceive others.

But if any are walking by The SPIRIT Of GOD, (and the 'if' is always a big 'if,' rather than it merely being assumed by us to be the case for and of ourselves; 2 Corinthians 13:5), then it is - according to all the Word Of GOD and holding no contradictions - our always looking to be and to do so; and only then can it be true, that:

The Law Of The SPIRIT Of Life In CHRIST JESUS has set us free from The Law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-4) because in walking by The SPIRIT we learn and will learn according to The SPIRIT Of GOD to our not carrying out the desires of the flesh (Galatians 5:13-16), meaning we do not practice the things which have just been shown here which many, as yet, even unknowingly still know to do, and in their doing so it shall mean that ours is living to still continue to bring forth fruit for death; by our own choice and choices of continuing in sin.

But, as obedient children who know not to conform to the former lusts which were ours in our ignorance; not letting sin reign in our mortal bodies that we should obey its lusts (Romans 6:12-14), but as HE WHO has Called us Is Holy, we know also that we are to be Holy also in all behaviour, understanding exactly what this means; conducting ourselves in fear, understanding that GOD shall Impartially Judge each one of us according to each man's work; and this, according to all HIS Word (1 Peter 1:13-21).

And what we are instructed they will refuse, because of the pride and arrogance that is in them:

Brethren, even if a man is caught in any trespass, you who are Spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted.
Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill The Law Of CHRIST (James 5:19-20).

For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

But let each one examine his own work (toil, deeds, labour) and then he will have boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.

For each one shall bear his own load.

And let the one who is taught The Word share all good things with him who teaches.

Do not be deceived, GOD is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to The SPIRIT shall From The SPIRIT reap Eternal Life.

And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.

So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of The Household Of The Faith.
Galatians 6:1-10.

For it is inescapable that we shall all one day soon stand before The LORD to give account to HIM for all we have done and to receive recompense for whatever we have done; whether that be for the good or for the bad we ourselves have done.
(2 Corinthians 5:10-11, Colossians 3:23-25, 2 Thessalonians 1:4-12).

Remembering, in that we are ever mindful and just as we ought to be; that whatever was written in earlier times was written for our Instruction, that through perseverance and encouragement of The Scriptures we might have hope (Romans 15:4);

'But the person who does defiantly, whether he is a native or an alien, that one is blaspheming The LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
'Because he has despised The Word Of The LORD and has broken HIS Commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt on him.'"
Numbers 15:30-31.

If we transgress The Commandments of The LORD and do not know repentance, then because we forsake HIM, HE Also shall forsake us; 1 Chronicles 28:9, 2 Chronicles 24:20, Zechariah 7:11-12, 2 Timothy 2:1-15.

If your religion and what you will put your faith in tells you contrary to these things, if you will so easily speak of how you are free In CHRIST, but shall still live practicing the deeds of the flesh of which we are told, and clearly so, that those who practice such things shall not Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD, then you are being deceived, because it is contrary to The Truth of GOD'S Word to us all.

Too many speak that they are free, but they do not walk as being free according to what GOD HIMSELF Declares to us all this Freedom is and means.

They shall still know to argue, maintaining strife and division, they shall judge according to the flesh and cannot see they are doing so, they hold to varying interpretations of Scripture and conduct and practices in the church; but all these things are deeds of the flesh and they are contrary to GOD And HIS CHRIST; JESUS our LORD.

This is The Truth Of GOD and Freedom In HIS SON; our Great GOD And SAVIOUR, CHRIST JESUS .
And there is no other way to The FATHER.

All shall be according to The Word Of GOD; John 12:44-50; and not according to the precepts of men.
As the man Of GOD Says to his fellow man;

"Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding.
Far be it from GOD to do wickedness, and from The ALMIGHTY to do wrong.

"For HE Pays a man according to his work, and makes him find it according to his way.
"Surely GOD will not act wickedly, and The ALMIGHTY will not pervert justice.

"Who gave HIM Authority over the earth?
And who has laid on HIM the whole world?
"If HE Should Determine to do so, if HE Should Gather To HIMSELF HIS SPIRIT And HIS BREATH, all flesh would perish together, and man would return to the dust.

"But if you have understanding, hear this;
Listen to the sound of my words...
Job 34:10-16.

"For has anyone said to GOD,
'I have borne chastisement;
I will not offend anymore;
Teach THOU me what I do not see;
If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'?

"Shall HE Recompense on your terms, because you have rejected it?
For you must choose, and not I;
Therefore declare what you know...
Job 34:31-33.

And Paul writes what is to us all by way of instruction;

...I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.
For just as you presented your members slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to Righteousness, resulting in Sanctification...
Romans 6:19

The wages of the Righteous is Life, the income of the wicked, punishment.
He is on The Path of Life who heeds instruction, but he who forsakes reproof goes astray.
Proverbs 10:16-17

For who has known The Mind Of The LORD, or who became HIS counselor?
Or who has first given to HIM that it might be paid back to him again?
For from HIM And Through HIM And to HIM Are All things.
To HIM The Glory Forever. Amen.
Romans 11:34-36.

Now may The GOD WHO Gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to CHRIST JESUS; that with One accord you may with One voice Glorify The GOD And FATHER Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Romans 15:5-6.

We can choose to refuse and believe it will not happen to us just because of who and what we choose to follow says to us, that it will not happen to us, but this is not going to help any on The Day that Is Coming, where all the arrogant and every evil doer will be chaff. Malachi 4, 2 Peter 3.

But if we love GOD, we shall indeed keep HIS Word.

..."And whoever shall speak a word against The SON Of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against The HOLY SPIRIT, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come...
Matthew 12:32.

Whoever speaks (that is, in either words spoken or written) against The HOLY SPIRIT; and The Word Of GOD is The GOD Breathed Word, (it shall not be forgiven him either in this world; and during our time in this world speaking to uphold what is contrary to what was spoken through men Moved By The HOLY SPIRIT Spoke from GOD, is how we maintain our not having forgiveness), nor shall we have Forgiveness in what intends to come; The Judgement Of GOD; at the two Resurrections: either a Resurrection of Life or a Resurrection of Judgement; John 5:24-29.

Yet it is so clear that not all who profess to believe have faith according to GOD.

The LORD JESUS CHRIST Prays to The FATHER for HIS Disciples:

..."Sanctify them in The Truth; THY Word Is Truth.
"As THOU Didst Send ME into the world, I Also have Sent them into the world...
John 17:17-18

It is why Paul writes as he does in Ephesians 4:21-24:

...if indeed you have heard HIM and have been Taught In HIM, just as Truth Is In JESUS, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be Renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the New self, which In GOD has been Created in Righteousness and Holiness of The Truth...

It is why Peter, speaking to the Jews of the Gentiles, says:

"And GOD, WHO Knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them The HOLY SPIRIT, just as HE also Did to us; and HE Made no distinction between us and them, Cleansing their hearts by faith.
Acts 15:8-9

It is why the Psalmist writes:

The Law Of The LORD Is Perfect (Blameless), restoring the soul;
The Testimony Of The LORD Is sure, making wise the simple.
The Precepts Of The LORD Are Right, rejoicing the heart (Romans 7:22);
The Commandment Of The LORD Is Pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of The LORD Is clean, enduring forever;
The Judgements Of The LORD Are True;
They Are Righteous Altogether.
Psalm 19:7-9

THY Testimonies Are Righteous forever;
Give me understanding that I may live.
Psalm 119:144

It is why Paul instructs Timothy and is the instruction to us all:

And The LORD'S bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps GOD may Grant them repentance leading to The Knowledge Of The Truth, and they may come to their senses from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

But realise this, that in the last times difficult times will come.
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of GOD; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied Its Power; and avoid such men as these.
2 Timothy 2:24 - 3:5

It is why Paul writes of the Saints:

But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror The Glory Of The LORD, are being Transformed into the Same Image from glory to Glory, just as from The LORD, The SPIRIT...
2 Corinthians 3:18

And why James writes:

...Therefore putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive The Word Implanted, which is able to Save your souls.
But prove yourselves doers of The Word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.

For if anyone is a hearer of The Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

But one who looks intently at The Perfect Law, The Law Of Liberty, and abides by It, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man shall be Blessed in what he does.
James 1:21-25.

And GOD Is our Witness, WHOM we serve in our spirit in The Gospel Of HIS SON - in all that we do - if indeed we are walking according to GOD (nothing can be hidden from HIM; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14); and it is why that in The New Covenant we are, in being of The Truth, buried with CHRIST through Baptism into death, in order that as CHRIST was Raised from the dead Through The Glory Of The FATHER, so we too might walk in Newness of Life.
Philippians 3:3, Romans 6:3-7, Colossians 3:1-4, 1 Peter 4:1-2.

In The faith and being of The faith, when living according to CHRIST; being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT, GOD Remembers our sins and lawless deeds no more; because they are no longer ever before HIM as they are when and if we shall still live walking according to the flesh.

If walking according to the flesh then we are not putting to death the deeds of the body, but live as sustaining them in our continuing to practice them.
The New self is not, because the old self is not old but is current, still remaining alive and is sickeningly well.

Grace is Given to us in our Gifting, each our own according to GOD and for the common good, which many refuse because they cannot recognise Grace Given Of GOD to one or another through and because of their selfish and fleshly desires in recognition of their own selves.
1 Corinthians 12:4-13, Ephesians 4:7-16, Galatians 2:5-10, Romans 12:6, Romans 15:15-17, 1 Peter 4:10-11.

In 1 Peter 4:10-11, Peter clearly writes that everyone has received/obtained Charisma - a Gift of Grace, or, Gift involving Grace, meaning on the part of GOD as The Donor of HIS Endowments Upon each believer by The HOLY SPIRIT in The Church for their work of service.

And, as The Works of JESUS Bore Witness of HIM, that The FATHER had Sent HIM (John 5:36); and as each believer is as a living stone; confirmed and edified of The Spiritual House; The Church, JESUS CHRIST Being The Choice and Precious Corner Stone (1 Peter 2:4-8), we too; all believers, will have a Gifting and this is according to The Word Of GOD, WHO cannot lie (John 14:10-12).
1 Corinthians 12:25 - 14:1.

These, again as Scripture states, are Given Of GOD (Ephesians 4:7-13), The HOLY SPIRIT being HE WHO Works all these things, and distributing to each one individually just as HE Wills.
(1 Corinthians 12:4-12).

They are not determined, allocated and maintained by man (but only by his faith - even so, Romans 12:3-8) because nowhere in Scripture are we told this is down to man as some will determine both of themselves and of others by themselves.
Though we are told by the Apostle Paul;
Pursue love, and desire earnestly (be zealous for) Spiritual, but especially that you may Prophesy...
1 Corinthians 14:1.

And Paul, in Romans 1:11 does say with those to whom he writes;

'For I long to see you in order that I may impart some Spiritual Gift to you, that you may be established,'

But he continues in his words in what we have portioned as verse 12 explaining exactly what he means in his saying this;

'that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.'

Faith is the essential part in receiving Charisma and the working of the Gift of Grace, with these Gifts being according to GOD and only according to all HIS Word to us.

But as Paul writes of Charisma and faith in another place;
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
And if I have Prophecy, and know all Mysteries and all Knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing...
1 Corinthians 13:1-2.

Paul here by his words in Romans chapter 1 recognises the vital importance of faith and much more than many appear to live understanding faith and the vital importance of The faith today.

Even so, the Christian is to know to understand that faith without works is dead.
For we through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope of Righteousness; and this faith is faith which works through love (Galatians 5:5-6).

The SPIRIT WHO Is Given to us; The SPIRIT Of Adoption, WHO Leads our spirit that we may know to no longer live according to the flesh, is Of Power and love and self-control to our having a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

As Paul wrote of himself as an example, that his speech and his preaching was not with persuasive words of man's wisdom, but in Manifestation of The SPIRIT and of Power; that our faith should not rest upon the wisdom of men, but in The Power Of GOD (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).

For The Kingdom Of GOD does not consist in words, but in Power.
1 Corinthians 4:20.

This is how GOD Makes Known what The Riches of this Glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles is; and this Mystery is CHRIST in us; The Hope of Glory: WHOM we preach, both warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man Perfect (Complete) In CHRIST JESUS.
(Colossians 1:26-29)

And such is Paul's heart, as ought to be the heart of all Christians, that he writes here in his letter to The Church in Rome and in The Foreknowledge Of GOD to us all by way of example, of his intensely longing to see them in order that he might impart any Spiritual Gift to strengthen them, moreover therefore to be comforted together by them and through their reciprocal faith.

Peter, after writing of the Divine Nature we are to become partakers of, states that he shall always be ready to remind those who have received a faith of the same kind as both his and those who are with him; that is, faith by The Righteousness Of our GOD And SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST, and even though these things are already known by those to whom he writes with their having been established in The Truth which is present with them.

He considers it right, as long as he is in his earthly dwelling (his earthly body), to stir them up by way of reminder, being diligent so that at any time after his departure they may be able to call these things to mind; through their having not followed any cleverly devised tales when he had made known to them The Power and Coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. 2 Peter 1.

But, with the impurity, sensuality, idolatry (Colossians 3:5-6), enmities, strife, disputes, dissensions, factions, to maintaining the divisions that exist today and are so easily brought to bear between professing Christians - because we largely know only to live according to the flesh - we live lacking the ability to share any Divinely Regenerate Charisma for us to indeed be as a constant in The Will Of GOD; that we love one another, and that by this we may be comforted together, each by our mutual faith; being faith that is according to GOD only and not by as is man's custom and in his own wisdom.

The Apostle John's heart was such that he rejoiced greatly when those of The Same FATHER (as we all should consider ourselves to be and always living accordingly) came and testified of The Truth that is in others; according to how they walked in The Truth, and that he had no greater joy than to hear that those he deemed to be as his children, such was his love and care for them, who walked in The Truth Of GOD (2 John & 3 John).

But today and for the most, we cannot truly testify as these would have known and knew to testify and to care for one another. And this is because of how many know only to walk today, as being divided and only in what they themselves will deem as being acceptable.

And yet with John, in how he writes, because this is the man he is; that this is the heart and love and affection of a Christian, one to another and to all, which we are to know even today.

This is the faith, hope and love we are to abide in; and with this is to be our knowing that of faith, hope, love; the greatest of these three is love. 1 Corinthians 13.

By faith we enter into this Grace in which we stand, because it is by faith we receive The HOLY SPIRIT; through WHOM The Gifts for the common good are both Distributed and Worked.

Those Spoken of by The LORD JESUS as those who practiced lawlessness we see that they plead with HIM that they did many things in HIS Name.
But it shows that it is not having a Gift which Saves or is evidence of being Saved, but is having the love of GOD in ourselves; the love that is the fulfillment of The Law.

And if we are not as One then we are divided; and as The LORD JESUS Says, any house divided against itself cannot stand.

As John The Baptist said, as he cried out to "Make ready The Way Of The LORD, make HIS Paths straight";

"Therefore bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance; and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves,
'We have Abraham for our father'; for I say to you, that GOD Is Able from these stones to Raise Up children to Abraham.

"And the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear Good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

"As for me, I baptise you by water for repentance, but HE WHO Is Coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove HIS sandals;
HE Will Baptise you with The HOLY SPIRIT and Fire.

"And HIS Winnowing Fork Is In HIS Hand, and HE will thoroughly clear HIS Threshing Floor; and HE will Gather HIS wheat into the barn, but HE will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
Matthew 3:8-12.

But today, of the Gifts, where are they?
They should be recognisable and according to The Word Of GOD are essential for the equipping of the Saints for the work of service to the Building Up of The Body Of CHRIST; until we all attain to the unity of The faith and of the Knowledge Of The SON Of GOD, to a mature man, to The Measure of The Stature which belongs to The Fullness Of CHRIST.
Ephesians 4.

So what is your Gifting; your Charisma in The Church?

Does the church you attend and each one as living stones who make up that church and by their Charisma according to Scripture, recognise your Gifting also so as to acknowledge It to being an equal part of The Body in encouraging one another, each by the other's faith, and all according to GOD'S Word and Purpose In CHRIST; that is, for the Building Up of Itself in love, exactly as HIS Apostles speak to us all in GOD'S Word to us; and is GOD Speaking to us through them?

I am yet to know of a church today where this is so and just as Scripture says, and just as I am yet to find in Scripture speaking of such a change as we now have today from what we read in Scripture being Ordained by GOD.

The culmination of these Gifts and The Purpose Of GOD for The Church according to HIS Word and to us all is for the Building Up of Itself in love.
But for this, as with all things in matters pertaining to GOD, faith is essential; and faith that is according to The Word Of GOD and is never contrary to The GOD Breathed Word.

We Receive The SPIRIT by hearing with faith.
We do not begin By The SPIRIT and then are Perfected, that is, Made Complete by the flesh.
It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing.

If we live by the flesh and are doing whatever we do as Christians according to the flesh, as many are found to live as doing today, then surely we are not continuing by faith (Hebrews 4, 1 Timothy 4:8)?

And being apart from faith we have fallen from Grace/we have received The Grace Of GOD in vain?
(1 Corinthians 15:10, Ephesians 3:1-12, 1 Timothy 1:14-17).

Know this, my Beloved Brethren.
But let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve The Righteousness Of GOD.
Therefore putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive The Word Implanted, which is able to Save your souls.
But prove yourselves doers of The Word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves...
James 1:19-22
(Romans 10:16-17, 2 Thessalonians 2:11-17)

GOD Only Works in us and through us by our hearing HIS Word with faith; faith that is the moral conviction as to The Truthfulness of GOD and accordingly so is our sole reliance upon CHRIST.

Therefore, we are to be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham; it is those who are of faith who are Blessed with Abraham, the believer.
Galatians 3:2-9.

It is GOD WHO has Accomplished Redemption for HIS people, and has Raised Up a Horn of Salvation for us in The House of David HIS servant - as HE Spoke by the mouth of HIS Holy Prophets from of old - Salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
To Show Mercy toward our fathers and to Remember HIS Holy Covenant, The Oath which HE Swore to Abraham our father,
To Grant us that we, being Delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve HIM without fear, in Holiness and Righteousness before HIM all our days.
Luke 1:67-79.

So as the Apostle Paul writes:

I, therefore, the prisoner Of The LORD, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of The Calling with which you have been Called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, being diligent to preserve the Unity Of The SPIRIT in the bond of peace.

One Body and One SPIRIT, just as also you were Called in One Hope of your Calling;
One LORD, One Faith, One Baptism, One GOD And FATHER Of all WHO Is Over all and Through all and In all...
Ephesians 4:1-6.

And as Peter writes:

You therefore, Beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard lest, being carried away by the error of unprincipled men, you fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in The Grace and Knowledge Of our LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.
To HIM The Glory, both now and to The Day of Eternity. Amen.
2 Peter 3:17-18.

So where today in The Church are The Gifts according to GOD'S Word?
And accordingly so, where is the love that is love according to GOD in HIS Word to us all and is Through HIS HOLY SPIRIT?
Romans 5:1-5, Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 13.

Some will interpret 1 Corinthians 13:8 to then declare The Gifts are no more, but these are liars who distort The Word Of GOD and are refusing The Word Of GOD elsewhere in The Holy Scriptures.

They do not understand; theirs is not faith in GOD because they do not hold to the Gifts; Charisma, as remaining in these days.

And this is why we do not see the Gifts in The Church as Scripture speaks to us of them and of the Purpose Of GOD in and by them - because we do not live as believing in them anymore.
And because we do not believe as It Is Written is why we do not see them.

Psalm 62. 2 Corinthians 4. 2 Corinthians 5:7. 1 Peter 1.

Such as these who believe The Gifts are no more are of those, though it is not by these alone, who are the reason why The Church is how it is today; divided, unloving, living in contradiction to GOD'S Word; being far removed from GOD, and is why we do not see The Gifts; because they are clearly Received by our hearing with faith; because, and according to The Word Of GOD also; we Receive The SPIRIT Of GOD by hearing with faith.
(Acts 19:2-6, 1 Corinthians 12, Hebrews 2:1-4)

They are the rebellious who yet still remain rebellious despite their profession of faith, because though they cannot see it, they live to deny such as The Word in Ephesians 4:7-16.
And in their doing so they live to deny Prophecy and The Power Of GOD:

THOU Hast Ascended On High, THOU Has Led Captive THY Captives;
THOU Hast Received Gifts among men, even the rebellious also, that The LORD GOD may Dwell.

Blessed Be The LORD, WHO daily Bears our burden,
The GOD WHO Is our Salvation. [ Selah.

GOD is to us A GOD Of Deliverances;
And to GOD The LORD Belong escapes from death...
Psalm 68:18-20.

The Parable on prayer (Luke 18), in which The LORD Spoke in order to show that at all times we ought to pray and not lose heart (and it is that we pray In The SPIRIT; Jude:20, Romans 8:26-30, Ephesians 6:10-18), HE Speaks of a certain unrighteous judge in a city who was by this, literally, 'the judge of injustice'; which describes his character (Luke 13:23-28).

Rejoice not in unrighteousness (iniquity), but rejoice with The Truth.
1 Corinthians 13:6.

Nevertheless, The Firm Foundation Of GOD stands, having this Seal,
"The LORD Knows those who are HIS,"
And,
"Let everyone who names The Name Of The LORD abstain from wickedness (unrighteousness, iniquity)."...

...Therefore if a man is Cleansed from these, he will be a vessel for honour, Sanctified, useful to The MASTER, prepared for every Good Work.
2 Timothy 2:19 & v 21.

This man Spoken of by The LORD JESUS as the unrighteous judge was noted as one who did not fear GOD and did not respect other people.

And we are to know, because we are told clearly throughout all Scripture;
GOD does not Hear sinners:
(Job 35:13, Psalm 34:11-22, Psalm 66:16-20, Proverbs 1:22-33, Proverbs 15:20-33, Proverbs 21:7-18, Proverbs 28:4-10, Isaiah 1:15-20, Isaiah 58:6-12, Jeremiah 11:6-11, Jeremiah 14:10-16, Ezekiel 8:17-18, Micah 3:1-7, Zechariah 7:7-13).

But GOD does Hear the repentant sinner:
(Psalm 37:27-28, Isaiah 55:6-13, Jeremiah 25:5-6, Ezekiel 18:23-32, Zechariah 1:3-6, Luke 13:1-9, Luke 24:45-47, Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19-21, Acts 13:45-46, Acts 26:18-20, James 4:1-12).

"We know that GOD does not Hear sinners; but if anyone is GOD-fearing and does HIS Will, HE Hears him.
John 9:31.

...And The LORD Said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said; now shall not GOD bring about Justice for HIS Elect, who cry to HIM day and night, and will HE delay long over them?

"I Tell you that HE Will bring about Justice for them speedily. However, when The SON Of Man Comes, will HE find faith on the earth?"
Luke 18:6-8.
(Hebrews chapters 10, 11 & 12, James 5).

Paul writes to The Church at Corinth, which is to be both instruction and example to all Christians (and there are no exceptions) of his thanking GOD concerning them for The Grace Of GOD which was Given them In CHRIST JESUS, that in everything they were enriched In HIM, in all speech and all knowledge even as The Testimony concerning CHRIST was confirmed in them; so that they were not lacking in any Gift, awaiting eagerly The Revelation Of their LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO shall also Confirm them to the end as blameless in The Day Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST; because GOD Is Faithful...
1 Corinthians 1:4-10.

So where are these Gifts by faith so that these Gifts do not lack and The Purpose Of GOD by these Gifts and according to HIS Word is not lacking today?

Notice verses 6-7 of 1 Corinthians 1, and you will have the answer to why we do not see them today according to GOD.

The Testimony concerning CHRIST is not in the majority today who profess faith and a reason is we are not accepting HIS Words, such as, Mark 16:15-18, John 14:12.
And this too is a reason why The Gifts that are Received by faith are lacking.
And 1 Corinthians 12.

We are certainly not living as eagerly awaiting HIS Return, and the divisions and strife and factions and the such like show this to being undeniably so.

But who sees to recognise this?
It is certainly not those who are Spiritually asleep because Spiritual sleep denies the one who is asleep from being able to see these things.

To know the things of the flesh in that we do the things of the flesh that are only and ever according to the flesh means that the faith we have and believe is faith is not truly of The faith that is according to GOD.

Paul writes to Timothy and again is instruction to all Christians, that of speech, conduct, love, faith and purity we show ourselves an example of those who believe.

We are to give attention to reading, exhortation and teaching and to not neglect the Spiritual Gift within us; to take pains with these things; being absorbed in them, so that our progress may be evident to all.

We are to pay close attention to ourselves and to our teaching; our example, and to persevere in these things; because as we do this is how we will insure Salvation both for ourselves and for those who hear us
(1 Timothy 4:8-16).
Yet this is not known and is rarely, if ever, preached today.

This knowledge is undeniably far removed from what we have today in the church.

So why is it we cannot see that if we are far removed from GOD then HE is far removed from us, and it is only because of our own ways?

Wake up!
We need to wake up before it is too late!

If we live denying HIM, HE also will Deny us.
2 Timothy 2:1-15, Matthew 10:32-42, Mark 8:38, Luke 12:8-9, 1 John 2:21-29.

It is by these Gifts, as Peter writes in what we have portioned as 1 Peter 4:10-11, that we minister the same, one to another, as good stewards of The Manifold Grace Of GOD.
And if any man speaks, he is only to speak, as it were, The Oracles Of GOD, and to minister by the ability, strength and the purpose which GOD Supplies, so that in all things GOD may be Glorified Through JESUS CHRIST.

To HIM the praise and Dominion forever and ever. Amen.

It is to know repentance, to live so as to realise your Charisma, that we may minister the same faith, one to another; because it is according to GOD that we will do so and yet it is not as we have it for the most part today.

Ezekiel 18:4-9:

V7-9, if a man does not oppress anyone (Acts 10:38), but restores to the debtor his pledge (Romans 1:14, Romans 8:12-14, Romans 15:27, Matthew 6:12), does not commit robbery (John 10:1-5, Titus 1:11), gives his bread to the hungry (Isaiah 58:6-12, Proverbs 22:8-9, Proverbs 25:21-22, Proverbs 28:27), and covers the naked with clothing (Matthew 25:34-40), if he does not lend on interest or take increase (Luke 6:30-35), he keeps his hand from iniquity (Romans 2:1-11), executes true justice between man and man (Leviticus 19:15-18, Proverbs 31:8-9, Jeremiah 22:15-16, Zechariah 8:16-17, 1 Timothy 5:17-21), he walks in MY Statutes and MY Ordinances so as to deal faithfully (Romans 3:31, Psalm 24:3-6) - he is Righteous and will surely Live," Declares The LORD GOD.

A debtor is one who is under obligation to another, and as born again Christians we are under obligation to GOD, to live By The SPIRIT and putting to death the deeds of the body. Romans 8:12-14.
And as Paul writes of himself in his writing to all who are Beloved Of GOD in Rome, called Saints;

I am under obligation (a debtor) both to Greeks (non Jews; Gentiles) and Barbarians (of non Greeks but also used without reproachfulness of those who are rude, rough and harsh), both to the wise and the foolish.
Thus for my part, I am eager to preach The Gospel to you also who are in Rome.

For I am not ashamed of The Gospel, for It Is The Power Of GOD for Salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
For In It The Righteousness Of GOD is Revealed from faith to faith; as It Is Written,
"But the Righteous shall live by faith."
Romans 1:14-17.

Paul here includes those to whom he writes as being those to whom he is also eager to preach The Gospel.

Today, as professing believers, many in their arrogance will consider themselves as those who know and do not need The Gospel preached to them, when the truth of their beliefs and deeds show them to still being in need of learning, just as we all are and in truth are as such as a constant all the days of our lives.

And for these, such as Hebrews 5:11 - 6:8 comes to mind, and despite the time they have lived as those who believe, is their needing someone still to teach them the elementary principles of The Oracles Of GOD in their showing themselves still needing milk and not being mature enough for the Solid Food of The Word; though they believe of themselves that they are mature Christians.

These are they who fail to heed the warnings Paul continues to write from verse 18 of Romans chapter 1, who ignorantly do not and cannot see it as applying to themselves.

But Grace is Given to us through faith for our overcoming sin, and for when we will stumble and get it wrong along The Way, which is because of the sinful nature that yet still remains.
But for this one, the one who does indeed live by faith, GOD'S Grace Is Sufficient.

Grace is always and only to and for our overcoming sin, and is not to be received in vain, and it is received in vain when we will determine to strive according to the flesh and thus is our then remaining in sin and death.

Flesh and blood cannot Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD (1 Corinthians 15:50, 2 Corinthians 5:1-11, Colossians 2:2-4, Ephesians 4:4-17, John 3:3-8), and just as it is by faith we have our introduction into this Grace in which we stand (Romans 5:1-5) it is that we shall remain standing in Grace when we remain walking by faith; that is, living from faith and towards faith (Romans 1:16-17, 1 John 1:9 - 2:7).

Scripture makes this abundantly clear to those with eyes to see and ears to hear; Romans 6.

But when wilfully sinning, and in doing so as a Christian then our living is in contradiction to The Will and Word Of GOD and not being toward The Purpose Of GOD In HIS SON; that is, our being Conformed to HIS Image.

As whatever is not from faith is sin (Hebrews 11:6, Titus 1:15-16) then it is we live nullifying The Grace Of GOD, which ultimately means that in our not working together with GOD (Hebrews 12:22-29, Titus 2:11-15); where all First Principles are our Foundation; WHO Is JESUS CHRIST, wherein one plants and another waters in their stewardship of service to GOD, WHO Alone Causes the growth (1 Corinthians 3:1-11), then it is that we walk as receiving The Grace Of GOD in vain (2 Corinthians 5:10 - 6:10) as opposed to our growing in The Grace and Knowledge Of GOD (1 Peter 1:2-9, 2 Peter 1:2-4, 2 Peter 3:14-18).

If doing so according to the flesh then there is no love of GOD in such a spirit, nor can there be; because there is not faith according to GOD, and accordingly so there can certainly be no living and genuinely being without partiality in our living; having Godly compassion in our love toward our neighbour, as Of CHRIST; Luke 10:30-37.

Grace and Truth are realised only through JESUS CHRIST, as before HIM no one of us had discernment or even could truly discern clearly in order to perceive and experience GOD at any time, as is now possible in The New Covenant; John 1:17-18.

Though many refuse it of themselves in their conduct, to those with ears to hear and with eyes to see, the day will always show it.

Because in this, to be as JESUS CHRIST and just as we are Called, we need GOD in order to be able fulfill the requirements of The Law, wherein love is the fulfillment.

...For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on The SPIRIT is Life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward GOD; for it does not subject itself to The Law Of GOD, for it is not even able to do so; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD...
Romans 8:6-8. Matthew 5:13-20.

...And The HOLY SPIRIT also Bears Witness to us; for after Saying,
"This is The Covenant that I Will Make with them after those days, Says The LORD:
I Will Put MY Laws upon their heart, and upon their mind I Will Write them,
"And their sins and their lawless deeds I Will Remember No More."

Now where there is Forgiveness of these things, there is no longer offering for sin...
Hebrews 10:15-18.

Therefore having been Justified by faith, we have peace with GOD Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Through WHOM Also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this Grace in which we stand (Romans 6:1-4); and we exult In Hope of The Glory Of GOD.

And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, Hope; and Hope does not disappoint, because The Love Of GOD has been Poured Out within our hearts Through The HOLY SPIRIT WHO was Given to us.
Romans 5:1-5.

And accordingly so and By HIS Blood we are instructed not to grieve The HOLY SPIRIT (Ephesians 4:30) being Ordained beforehand according to GOD'S Purpose; HE WHO Works all things according to The Counsel of HIS Will, that we are today those who are present and exist to the praise of HIS Glory.

And In CHRIST, after listening to The Message of The Truth; The Gospel of our Salvation; repentance for Forgiveness of sins - having also believed in the same, we then attest In HIM with The HOLY SPIRIT Of Promise, WHO Is Given as a Pledge of our Inheritance with a view to The Redemption of Possession to the praise of HIS Glory (Ephesians 1:7-14, 2 Corinthians 4:1-7).
But many Christians live as not understanding this.

And in their misunderstanding, which comes about because of their spirit being led by the flesh, and, as the natural man cannot receive the things of The SPIRIT Of GOD because they are Spiritually appraised (1 Corinthians 2:14), and out of what fills the heart is what the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:33-37), which the body is then also motivated to do (Proverbs 27:19), it shows and is shown with and to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, their distinguishing between those who walk contrary to CHRIST, who walk lacking the knowledge of The Truth Of GOD according to The New Covenant, in which is our fellowship with The Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST; devoting ourselves to the Apostles' teaching (Acts 2:37-42), in which means our fellowship being With The FATHER, And With HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, and our not doing as is the habit of many, which is showing to lack what is essential to Eternal Life: having knowledge so as to perceive, to be sure in understanding The Only True GOD And JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE Sent.
1 John 1:1-10, John 17:3, Romans 7:22, 1 John 5:20.

For GOD, WHO Said,
"Light Shall Shine out of darkness," is The ONE WHO has Shone in our hearts to Give The Light Of The Knowledge of The Glory Of GOD In The Face of CHRIST.
2 Corinthians 4:6.

Yet clearly, this Truth Of GOD meant for all who are accepted in The BELOVED is today currently not yet so for all who live professing their faith in The LORD JESUS CHRIST, that HE is their LORD And SAVIOUR, but even so are those who do not do according to HIM.

...But all things become visible when they are exposed by The Light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

For this reason It says,

"Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and CHRIST Will Shine on you."

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

So then do not be foolish, but understand what The Will Of The LORD Is.
Ephesians 5:13-17.

Even though this admonishment from Paul is one of many in Scripture, spoken by GOD to all HIS people and through HIS messengers, today many will teach and live believing that it is not and cannot be speaking to them because they, by their own justification, are a Christian.
But this logic of their own selves is illogical.

They will believe that their understanding is true, even though they themselves cannot substantiate it solely by The Word Of GOD; and yet it is by this logic that they themselves consider that they are of those who are true before GOD.

But Scripture, as with all Scripture, is speaking to all Christians and for all Christians to take heed and to examine themselves carefully in and throughout all their walk.
Paul himself did (1 Corinthians 9:24-27) and The LORD JESUS, showing no partiality (as there is no partiality with GOD) Warns everyone (Luke 13:23-30, Matthew 7:21-23).

So who is anyone of us to believe it is not of us also - unless we are so arrogant to set ourselves as being above The Word Of The LORD?

...But to the wicked GOD Says,
"What right have you to tell of MY Statutes and to take MY Covenant in your mouth?

"For you hate discipline and you cast MY Words behind you.

"When you see a thief , you are pleased with him, and you associate with adulterers.

"You let your mouth loose in evil and your tongue frames deceit.

"You sit and speak against your Brother;
You slander your own mother's son.

"These things you have done, and I Kept Silence;
You thought that I was just like you;
I Will Reprove you, and State in order before your eyes.

"Now consider this, you who forget GOD,
Lest I Tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

"He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honours ME;
And to him who orders his way aright I Shall Show The Salvation Of GOD."
Psalm 50:16-23.

We all are in constant need of The Grace Of GOD and The Blood Of CHRIST and The Fellowship Of The HOLY SPIRIT.

"Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?
Then you also can do good who are accustomed to do evil.
Jeremiah 13:23.

This means it is impossible for us according to the flesh.
But as a Christian who walks according to GOD; according to The HOLY SPIRIT, that The Grace Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST and The Love Of GOD and The Fellowship Of The HOLY SPIRIT is an accompaniment of theirs, being recognised in and of their spirit, wherein is shown their possessing Wisdom from GOD and Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption - everything that JESUS CHRIST Is to us - because GOD Is Faithful.

And because GOD Is Faithful, then what HE Says in HIS Word shall therefore be shown in us; in those who abide according to HIS Word and In HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST.

These are the faithful In GOD; The Called and Chosen because they are faithful.

It is all from GOD, Through WHOM they were Called into Fellowship with HIS SON JESUS CHRIST our LORD; in order that they may be One, as The FATHER Is In The SON and The SON In The FATHER, that they also may be One In The FATHER And The SON: that the world may believe that The FATHER Sent The SON into the world, WHO abides In them, and they In HIM.

The Word Of GOD states that this Is Eternal Life; that this is living as knowing The Only True GOD And JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE Has Sent.
Even as The FATHER Gave The SON Authority over all mankind, that to all whom The FATHER Has Given HIM, HE may Give Eternal Life; just as The LORD JESUS HIMSELF Says:

"And this is Eternal Life, that they may know THEE, The Only True GOD, and JESUS CHRIST WHOM THOU Hast Sent.
John 17:3.

This is why as GOD Is Faithful then the things GOD Tells us, both in HIS Word and Through HIS SON, then they shall be seen to being recognised in us; if we ourselves do indeed walk as faithful Brethren; JESUS HIS SON being The First-Born of many Brethren; Romans 8:28-30, Hebrews 2:9-18.

If we walk as contrary to GOD then they will not be according to CHRIST, but showing only the deeds of the flesh remaining and always evident in what we will do and what we will say; all that is contrary to CHRIST.

But to the faithful, The Word Of GOD will not be as mere words written on paper, as it appears and is the case for many today.
Words which are merely read and are not truly understood because of the flesh.
And instead of The Word which also Performs Its Work in you who believe, it is merely applied to themselves by themselves as they can only see to do yet bearing no truth either in them or of them.

But because The Word Of GOD Is Living and Active and Sharper than any two-edged sword, and Piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to Judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart; it is to this degree we must understand that we are born again; born anew; fleshly to Spiritual, not of seed which is perishable but Imperishable; through The Living and Abiding Word Of GOD; which accordingly performs Its Work in those who believe.

For,
"All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass.
The grass withers, and the flower falls off, but The Word Of The LORD Abides forever."

And this is The Word which was preached to you.

Therefore, putting aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babes, long for The Pure Milk Of The Word, that by It you may grow in respect to Salvation, if you have tasted The Kindness of The LORD...
1 Peter 1:23 - 2:3.

But today, in a church system that blindly upholds a way that is not according to The Scriptures and The Truth Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS; which does not know to teach and instruct that in obedience to The Truth Of GOD it is we purify our souls for a sincere love of the Brethren, to fervently love one another from a clean heart (The Goal of our Instruction is love from a pure [Cleansed] heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith; 1 Timothy 1:5).
A church system where pastors are not who they are according to The Word, but will undertake a function well beyond The Calling of a Pastor according to The Gifting by The Grace Of GOD toward any man and just as It Is Written, and the majority of these are those who merely profess The Name and yet will live to follow a man made religion that holds no substance of truth, being not of GOD to their knowing the pure and undefiled religion that is the true understanding of religious worship of GOD; that which is only good and acceptable and perfect in all areas of our living and according to The Grace Of GOD.

And yet to attempt to tell them this, even explaining from The Word Of GOD in order to show them, the vast majority would not accept it because they cannot recognise it; or at least most will not initially be able to do so.
It requires humility and knowing the fear of The LORD; just as with GOD'S MESSIAH HIMSELF (Isaiah 11:1-5).

He whose ear listens to the life-giving reproof will Dwell among the wise.
He who neglects discipline despises himself, but he who listens to reproof acquires understanding.
The fear of The LORD is the instruction for wisdom, and before honour comes humility.
Proverbs 15:31-33

"It is The LORD Of Hosts WHOM you should regard as Holy.
And HE shall be your fear,
And HE shall be your dread.
"Then HE shall become a Sanctuary;...
Isaiah 8:13-14a.

A pastor is a shepherd, the Greek word, poimēn.
JESUS CHRIST The Chief SHEPHERD, the Greek word, Archipoimēn.
A pastor is not chief in any way, shape or form; The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is and Is ONE.

A pastor is a Gift by Grace, just as Apostle & Prophet, just as teachers, just as miracles, just as Gifts of healings, just a tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:28-31, Ephesians 4:7-13.

These are with us until The Perfect Comes.

Contrary to what some believe and teach regarding 1 Corinthians 13:8, they are still to be of The Body Of CHRIST; The Church.

Love never fails.
Love will always be.
But it is The Gifts we now have that are partial, and as It Is Written of what we share, that is, these Gifts,

For even as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so is CHRIST.
For by ONE SPIRIT we were all Baptised into One Body, whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), whether slaves or free, and we were Made to drink Of ONE SPIRIT.

For The Body is not one member, but many...
1 Corinthians 12:12-14

...But now GOD Has Placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as HE Desired.
And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
But now there are many members, but one body...
1 Corinthians 12:18-20

...that there should be no division in The Body, but the members should have the same care for one another.
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
Now you are CHRIST'S Body and individually members of It...
1 Corinthians 12:25-27.

No member of The Body Of CHRIST is less important than any other.
No member of The Body Of CHRIST is less important than another.
Just as Paul likens our bodies which has many different members but is one body, so is The Church.
Each one, in the proper working of each individual part, shall have a function for the proper working of The Body; just as Paul writes for example in verses 15-17 of 1 Corinthians 12.

And as one part of the body cannot function as another part of the body and take on its function, so one man cannot take multiple functions of parts of The Body Of CHRIST and expect it to function as It is Made By GOD to be.

How is it that for so long church has been how it is, and we read The Scriptures where we are told, that just as in our body the eye cannot decide to take on the function of the ear, nose, tongue and feet and expect that all will work as it was made to be, but here we are and here we are with what we have?

And, according to GOD, The HOLY SPIRIT Works all these things, distributing to each one individually, just as HE Wills. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.

Grace Is Given according to the Measure of CHRIST'S Gift to each one, HE WHO Ascended far above all the heavens, that HE might Fill all things, for the Equipping of the Saints for the work of service, to the Building Up of The Body Of CHRIST; until we all attain to the Unity of The faith, and of the knowledge of The SON Of GOD, to a mature man, to the Measure of The Stature which belongs to The Fullness Of CHRIST.
This is according to GOD, but what we have for the most part today bears no resemblance to it and is according to man.

As I have said earlier in this writing, many cannot recognise the Grace of GOD that is Given to a man in his Gifting and also many do not and cannot realise their own Gifting; because they are received by faith; just as Grace is received through faith.
And this is why there is division and strife and jealousy and angry tempers between Christians; as it is the flesh that prevails.

These Gifts, and they are not titles as many believe of them by their conduct in the name of them, are for the complete furnishing of the Saints for the labour of ministering of those who execute The Word Of GOD, and is towards the edification in construction of The Body Of CHRIST; The Church. Ephesians 4:12.

It is all to GOD'S Praise and Glory.
It is all to the praise of GOD'S Grace.

This, as Paul writes in another place, is for GOD WHO Causes the growth, and not any mere mortal man.
By man and his way is how love grows cold.

Do we not learn from the Pharisees?
Do we not understand we are merely taking their place in becoming the authority and the rule in GOD'S Church which HE Purchased with HIS Own Blood, by also as they did applying our rules and wisdom and striving in and by our own wisdom and strength?

No man can build the house unless The LORD is in it; Psalm 127:1.

...What then is Apollos?
And what is Paul?
Servants through whom you believed, even as The LORD Gave to each one.
I planted, Apollos watered, but GOD was Causing the growth.
So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but GOD WHO Causes the growth.
Now he who plants and he who waters are one...
1 Corinthians 3:5-8a.

Pastors today, for the most part at least, do not act as knowing the purpose Of GOD in their Gifting, indeed, there are those in such positions who are appointed by man and not GOD.
Many conduct themselves above and beyond the ministry to the exclusion of the other members of The Body and The Gifts according to The Word Of GOD.

For many, if they were to be face to face with them and being instructed and corrected by them, they would even hate the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST they read of and from every day in The Scriptures, whom they today will declare their living to be as standing with; being in and of The faith and love that are In CHRIST JESUS and as one with them.

This is because they are, in truth, untaught and unstable souls who know only to distort The Scriptures and which, apart from repentance, it shall be to their own destruction.

..."For I Say to you, that unless your Righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter The Kingdom Of Heaven...
Matthew 5:20.

The Righteous shall bring forth Good fruit; Matthew 3:8-10.
..."A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce Good fruit.
"Every tree that does not bear Good fruit is cut down and is thrown into the fire.
"So then, you will know them by their fruits...
Matthew 7:18-19.

The Righteous man is the one who does The Will Of The FATHER WHO Is In Heaven; Matthew 7:21-27.

The Righteous shall humble themselves as a little child; Matthew 18:3-11.

The Righteous shall pursue peace with all men and the Sanctification without which no one shall see The LORD; Hebrews 12:6-15.

The Righteous shall know what means to know GOD; Matthew 25:31-40, Isaiah 58:6-12, Jeremiah 22:13-17, Psalm 72:1-4, & v 11-14, Psalm 82:1-4, Psalm 109:30-31, Proverbs 24:11-12.

The Pharisees did none of these things; as it was not of their nature to do them.
The Pharisees stood in the positions of authority, but they did not know GOD'S Word; GOD'S Ways.

But The LORD Abides forever;
HE Has Established HIS Throne for Judgement,
And HE Will Judge the world in Righteousness;
HE Will Execute Judgement for the people with Equity.
The LORD also will be a Stronghold for the oppressed,
A Stronghold in times of trouble,
And those who know THY Name will put their trust in THEE;
For THOU, O LORD, has not forsaken those who seek THEE.
Psalm 9:7-10

...and may be found In HIM, not having a Righteousness of my own derived from Law, but that which is through faith in CHRIST, the Righteousness which Comes from GOD on the basis of faith, that I may know HIM, and The Power Of HIS Resurrection and the fellowship of HIS sufferings, being Conformed to HIS death; in order that I may attain to The Resurrection from the dead...
Philippians 3:9-11.

If a man stands in The Church and believing of himself that he is something by his title or whatever else, and will impose his authority as he himself sees it over others because of it, then to this man, beware.
As The Wisdom Of GOD Says:

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips.
A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, but the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.
Proverbs 27:1-3.

Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favour and good repute
In The Sight Of GOD and man.

Trust in The LORD with all your heart,
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge HIM,
And HE Will Make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear The LORD and turn away from evil.
It will be Healing to your body,
And Refreshment to your bones...
Proverbs 3:3-8.

And of The New Jerusalem:

...and nothing unclean and no one who practices abomination (Proverbs 6:16-19) and lying, shall ever come into It, but only those whose names are Written in The LAMBS Book Of Life.
Revelation 21:27.

Today it is true of many professing Christians that they cannot understand according to GOD but believe that they do understand according to GOD.
And because of the pride and arrogance of the flesh these shall refuse anything which contradicts their own understanding of The Scriptures, both of their example and knowledge of a Christian which they themselves know and understand by.

But, and you will often find, by their words and deeds in how they will conduct themselves toward others, be that believer or unbeliever, many professing Christians do not know lovingkindness and truth according to CHRIST and HIS Holy Apostles; which always is according to The SPIRIT and By HIM is always unfailingly so.

GOD is not a man that HE should lie.

Men Of GOD who will likewise strive In The LORD, knowing that their toil is not vain In The LORD and as all servants Of GOD shall do so because they know that their ministry is Sanctified By The HOLY SPIRIT and is according to HIS Power which mightily Works within them; to preach and teach every man in all Godly wisdom, that they may present every man Complete; that is and means, Perfect In CHRIST JESUS.
Matthew 5.

But today and contrary to this, and so it is that it is contrary to GOD, many who stand as the authority and voice in the church, who stand before the congregation as teachers and preachers, will only live by their own understanding of it all, which is according to the flesh and not according to GOD and all HIS Word.

All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight, but The LORD Weighs the motives.

And this is why division and strife come to being manifested and maintained, though they cannot see what it is they bring to bear and because of it will even justify themselves in it all; and it is that they cannot see it for what it is before GOD, because of the flesh.

In it they cannot truly understand that, by lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of The LORD one keeps away from evil.
Proverbs 16:5-6.

So in not knowing lovingkindness, iniquity remains not atoned for; because we are Saved By The Blood Of CHRIST and The Message of The Gospel is repentance for Forgiveness of sins.

To them, with the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST instructing and correcting them, it would be a strange teaching to their ears, something unpleasant and uncomfortable, too extreme and contrary to what they and millions of professing Christians like them love to hear and learn today, by rote, to accept and acknowledge as being Christianity as they can only recognise Christianity to be.
So for them their thinking is not dissimilar to,
'It is not how I understand and believe, so why should I listen to it?'

And what they do not realise in it all is that what they do live to seek to understand and follow and will believe in and accept; ever learning yet never being able to come to The Knowledge Of The Truth; and standing as not approved by GOD, it would indeed be to such men as the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST as John, Peter and Paul, a grevious thing and not what is according to The Way And The Truth And The Life; but a strange and varied teaching, a myth being of no benefit to those who will follow after it.

They cannot see that in it all they live as denying JESUS is The CHRIST and that before HIM they are liars, because they do not know to live to confess JESUS CHRIST before men, not understanding what to confess HIM before men truly means and is.
And this is the antichrist.

Confess: Luke 12:8-9, to assent, that is, covenant, acknowledge, profess the same as and with JESUS CHRIST, and so not to deny HIM in their words and deeds.

Antichrist means; an opponent of The MESSIAH.

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge JESUS CHRIST Coming in the Flesh.
This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Watch yourselves, that you might not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may Receive a Full Reward...
2 John:7-8.

The one who lives denying The SON does not have The FATHER.

Whoever denies The SON does not have The FATHER; the one who confesses The SON has The FATHER also.

As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning.
If what you heard from the beginning Abides in you, you also will abide In The SON and In The FATHER.

And this is The Promise which HE HIMSELF has Made to us; Eternal Life.

These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.

And as for you, The Anointing which you received from HIM abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as HIS Anointing Teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has Taught you, you abide In HIM.

And now, little children (Mark 9:35-37), abide In HIM, so that when HE Appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from HIM in shame at HIS Coming.

If you know that HE Is Righteous, you know that everyone also who practices Righteousness is born Of HIM.
1 John 2:23-29.

To our fully understanding in that we absolutely know to show as truly perceiving;

...but if we walk in The Light as HE HIMSELF Is In The Light, we have fellowship with one another, and The Blood Of JESUS HIS SON Cleanses us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us...
1 John 1:7-8

For we have become partakers of CHRIST, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end...
Hebrews 3:14

...and In HIM you have been Made Complete, and HE Is The Head Over all Rule and Authority; and In HIM you were also Circumcised with a Circumcision Made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the Circumcision Of CHRIST; having been buried with HIM in Baptism, in which you were also Raised Up with HIM through faith in The Working Of GOD, WHO Raised HIM from the dead...
Colossians 2:10-12

If therefore there is any encouragement In CHRIST, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship Of The SPIRIT, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in CHRIST JESUS...
Philippians 2:1-5.

Those who are peacemakers are children Of GOD; Matthew 5:9.

Those who know to do, and not merely say and speak in hypocrisy, who love their enemies, and who pray for those who persecute them, these are children Of their FATHER WHO Is In Heaven; Matthew 5:43-48.

Those who hear The Word Of GOD and understand It, who by perseverance do indeed bear fruit; these are the children of The Kingdom; Matthew 13:23-43, Luke 8:11-21.

Those who turn to GOD and are converted and become like children, who will humble himself as a child, and who receive one such child in The Name Of JESUS, this is the one who receives The LORD JESUS CHRIST.

But anyone who causes one of these to trip up in their walk, to stumble, who entices to sin, apostasy and GOD'S Displeasure, it would be better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea; Matthew 18:3-11.

Take heed and fear.

...The SPIRIT HIMSELF Bears Witness with our spirit that we are children Of GOD...
Romans 8:16.

The children of the flesh are not the children Of GOD, but it is the children Of The Promise who belong to HIM; Galatians 3:7-9.

It is these who are those who were Chosen In HIM before The Foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and blameless before HIM in love, having Ordained beforehand our being among those of The Adoption Through JESUS CHRIST to HIMSELF according to The Good Pleasure of HIS Will, to the praise of The Glory of HIS Grace by which HE Has Made us Accepted In The BELOVED; Ephesians 1:3-14.

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been Approved, he will Receive The Crown of Life, which is Promised to those who love HIM.
James 1:12.

Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be babes, but in your thinking be mature.
1 Corinthians 14:20

Those who walk not continuing as being conformed to the former lusts which were theirs in their ignorance; these are children Of GOD; 1 Peter 1:13-21.

How great are THY Works, O LORD! (Psalm 145:8-14)
THY Thoughts are Very Deep (Isaiah 55:6-9).
A senseless man has no knowledge; nor does a stupid man understand this:
That when the wicked sprouted up like grass, and all who did iniquity flourished, it was that they might be destroyed forevermore.

But THOU, O LORD, Art On High forever.
For, behold, THINE enemies, O LORD,
For, behold, THINE enemies will perish;
All who do iniquity will be scattered.
Psalm 92:5-9.

And for the many, though they are shown these things and by their own words and deeds in light of The Scriptures, they shall still deny it of themselves, believing themselves to be in right standing before GOD, even though their words and deeds are shown to being contrary to JESUS CHRIST; they do this because Spiritually they cannot see; the darkness continues to blind their eyes.
But wisdom is vindicated because of her children.
Matthew 11:15-30.

How many do we see today and the churches which Revelation 3:17 speaks directly of them, but they will, in their blindness, deny it is of themselves, and saying,
"Surely it is not I"?
The guilty have said it themselves and no one of us can bear witness to our own selves; though this is how the guilty will and do justify themselves.

But all these things shall be known and seen to be recognised by those who have been Delivered from the power of darkness and Transferred into The Kingdom Of GOD; The Rule Of GOD In HIS Beloved SON; in their living as those eagerly awaiting for The FATHER'S SON From Heaven, WHOM HE RAISED from the dead, JESUS, WHO Delivers us from The Wrath to Come.
Colossians 1:13, 1 Thessalonians 1:10.

If continuing to habitually practice the deeds of the flesh it shows our not knowing these things; the things that are of the Christian faith according to JESUS CHRIST And The SPIRIT Of Holiness; which we ought to know, because The Word Of GOD Says that this is so.

And the fact that this is far removed from what The Church is today, and for the most part what the church as it is today knows within Itself is solely down to false teachings and wayward hearts which do not know the reverential fear and awe of GOD, but are decieved into believing that what they do offer up to GOD is acceptable before GOD.

But in truth what they offer up to GOD shows that they live believing that they are no longer accountable to The Law, that they do not know The Law and so do not see in order to keep The Law Of GOD; which is what we are to establish and shall establish through The faith that is in CHRIST JESUS - and all according to GOD. Love.

This ought to be known in that it is recognised, because GOD, WHO cannot lie, Said before HE Brought HIS MESSIAH into the world such as is Written in Jeremiah 31:33-37, which was and is Fulfilled in JESUS, so that now, if we are of The Truth Of GOD then we are of Hebrews 8:10-13, 2 Corinthians 3:3, 1 Peter 1:22-25, and not of those who live in contradiction to The Word Of GOD.

And as GOD cannot lie and the Apostles Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST have testified and still testify and will testify until The FATHER Again Brings The First-Born into the world (Hebrews 9:27-28, 1 John 3:1-7), WHO Is Written of in The Law of Moses and the Prophets and The Psalms (Luke 24:44-49) and what we have now as The New Testament Writings in all its fulfillment; then today where is it all according to GOD'S Word as we supposedly wait eagerly for our Adoption as sons, the Redemption of our body? Romans 8.

Where is love?

If we walk in the Light as HE Is In The Light, we have fellowship with one another, and The Blood Of JESUS CHRIST HIS SON Cleanses us from all sin; and we will love much; The Grace Of our LORD Exceedingly Abundant with faith and love which is In CHRIST JESUS (Luke 7:41-43).

If we prove to love little, then it is because we have been Forgiven little (even, briefly).

And remember in this, always, that in The Forbearance Of GOD HE Passed Over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration of HIS Righteousness at the present time, that HE might be Just and The Justifier of the one who has faith in JESUS. Romans 3:23-26.

This holding back of Wrath and Punishment for sin must and will end one Day soon.
For some Grace will Culminate (1 Peter 1:13) and for the rest, for those who do not know GOD and to those who do not obey The Gospel Of our LORD JESUS, it will be Exercised; because the wages of sin is death and these will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from The Presence Of The LORD and from The Glory of HIS Power.
So be sure to know and to live righty as of GOD'S children in truth, to love much and not to love little.
Because we shall all, without partiality, reap as we have sown in this life; and we are to know, love does no wrong to a neighbour; love therefore is the fulfillment of The Law.

You must decide for yourself in all you will accept, believe in and follow, examining everything carefully by The Word Of GOD and holding no contradictions; knowing that GOD Is Love; and consequently, everyone who loves, as love is from GOD, is born Of GOD and knows GOD.

Love one another, be joyful in sharing and joyful in that you share, always giving thanks to GOD Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.

Remember the poor. Recognise the needy; they are everywhere you go. There are no excuses for any. Matthew 25:31-46.

Honour The LORD in all you do.

Peace be to the Brethren, and love with faith, from GOD The FATHER and The LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Grace be with all those who love our LORD JESUS CHRIST in sincerity (without corruption) Amen.
Ephesians 6:23-24.
