The Christian; According To GOD. Over the passage of time things tend toward change.And to us all as human beings this is accepted as an inevitable and distinguishing characteristic in the progression of the world since the dawning of time. We see change around us in life itself.From conception to the embryo, then the fetus, to development leading to birth.And from birth to the infant toward maturity and then adulthood, and then to maturity as an adult.Then, maturity continues toward the person we become, with changes often being known throughout life, in personality and perceptions, experiences and understandings of the world.And all that is around us also adheres to the trait of time and its progression, with the sinful nature of man and corruption of Creation which continues along its way until The Last Day.And all of this shall be known by each and every one of us and til the day of our death when we leave this fleeting, mortal coil. But the world still turns and the cycle of life continues, as does the inevitable progression thereof with everything in it and around it changing in its own time and in its own way whilst remaining in its degeneracy, both naturally as well as at the hands of the so called progressive among us with those in positions of power.And this too shall be until the end of time. And one thing recognised and observed in life by everyone who experiences life throughout its natural course is that change is not always good, it isn't always right and proper.In this temporary existence, people, by their individuality and depending upon their own sentient element; how they think, feel, perceive, desire and so understand toward their motivations, actions and beliefs in life, shall know to disagree on many issues of change and whatever does or does not constitute moral uprightness or decline. Sometimes and all too often the changes are for the worse, but man in his pomp and arrogance and his limited wisdom, such as it is because of his fleshly nature, which is given to change and depravity of Godly Morals, will not either see, be able to see or even choose to see the dangers which shall inevitably be associated with certain changes which affect us and our children and our children's children in one way or another.This too shall continue until the end of time. The flesh with its traits in passions and desires will even ignore the blatant warnings and consequences of actions in striving for change to acquiring the desires of the heart, because change to mankind is inevitable and constitutes life itself; whether it is for good or bad. But GOD Changes Not. I say, "O my GOD, do not take me away in the midst of my days, THY years are throughout all generations."Of old THOU Didst Found the earth;And the heavens are The Work Of THY Hands. "Even they will perish, but THOU Dost Endure;And all of them will wear out like a garment;Like clothing THOU Wilt Change them, and they will be Changed."But THOU Art The Same, and THY years will not come to an end."The children of THY servants will continue, and their descendants will be established before THEE."Psalm 102:24-28. "Thus Says The LORD, The KING Of Israel and his REDEEMER, The LORD Of Hosts:'I AM The FIRST And I AM The LAST, and there is no GOD Besides ME.'And who is like ME?Let him proclaim and declare it;Yes, let him recount it to ME in order, from the time that I Established the ancient nation.And let them declare to them the things that are coming and the events that are going to take place...Isaiah 44:6-8. GOD changes not, so that as Christians we are told, throughout HIS Word to us, WHO GOD Is, HIS Power and HIS Attributes and of all that GOD Says is good and what HE requires of man.It is summed up through the Prophet Micah; to do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with GOD (Micah 6:8). And here, the man Of GOD, writing to the Hebrews nearly two thousand years ago, of GOD Making the first Covenant obsolete and of the New Covenant; of a New and Living Way which CHRIST Inaugurated through The Veil, that is HIS Flesh; and in the Foreknowledge and purpose of GOD was his also writing to us and for us all; since that time til now and to The Day of eternity, toward our understanding the way towards all now having the ability to live as Sanctified; humbly walking with GOD and being well-pleasing to HIM; by Grace through faith in The SON Of GOD; WHO Is The Sacrifice for sin once for all, and the resulting Grace toward us and in us of The Power Of GOD being toward us and through us as a result of our faith in HIM: JESUS CHRIST Is The Same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by Grace, not by foods, through which those who were thus occupied were not benefited. (Matthew 4:4, John 6:63) We have an Altar, from which those who serve The Tabernacle have no right to eat.For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into The Holy Place by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore JESUS also, that HE might Sanctify the people through HIS Own Blood, suffered outside the gate.Hence, let us go out to HIM outside the camp, bearing HIS reproach.For here (in this world) we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking The City which is to Come. Through HIM then, let us continually offer up sacrifice of praise to GOD, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to HIS Name.And do not neglect doing good and sharing; for with such sacrifices GOD Is Pleased. Obey your leaders, and submit; for they keep watch over your souls, as those who will give an account.Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you. Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honourably in all things.And I urge you all the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. Now The GOD Of Peace, WHO Brought Up from the dead The Great SHEPHERD Of the sheep Through The Blood Of The Eternal Covenant, JESUS our LORD, equip you in every Good thing to do HIS Will, Working in us that which is Pleasing in HIS Sight, Through JESUS CHRIST, to WHOM The Glory forever and ever. Amen. But I urge you, Brethren, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly... ...Grace Be With you all.Hebrews 13:8-22 & v 25. But today, what is known as Christianity in the world often bears little or no resemblance according to The ONE WHOM we are Called by; to be understood in the sense of our being Invited by GOD, to live by faith in and towards our living as an imitator of HIM: JESUS CHRIST; that we might be the Chosen In CHRIST.Luke 6:39-40, John 15:26-27, John 17:16-18, Romans 8:28-30, 1 Corinthians 10:31 - 11:1, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:23-29, 1 John 2:4-6. All are Saved only by Grace through faith. And for Grace to be with us; in us, then it means having faith according to GOD and is our full and continual acknowledgement of HIM, HIS Word, as the requirement to our attaining to become The Righteousness Of GOD In JESUS CHRIST The LORD; 2 Corinthians 5. Faith in GOD is according to GOD and all HIS Word to us. Faith is not in man as it does not come from man himself; for nothing good dwells in us, that is, our flesh; Romans 7:18-21, Romans 8:3-13, John 3:3-8, though the word of faith is near each and every one of us, in our mouth and in our heart; Romans 10:8, Romans 10:17, Romans 1:16-17, Isaiah 57:18-21.And so faith is not from man or through man and what he himself will understand by his own fleshly wisdom and determining, either of what faith is or what constitutes knowing all that is good and acceptable and perfect according to GOD.Romans 12:1-8, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Ephesians 4:7-16. Faith is The Gift Of GOD; Ephesians 2:8-10, that we might know HIM and The Power Of HIS Resurrection and the fellowship of HIS Sufferings, being Conformed to HIS death; in order that we may attain to The Resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:7 - 4:1. John 5:25-29. What GOD has Given to the world is The Way and The Truth and The Life; JESUS CHRIST, which was never the purpose Of GOD for man to change through his own desires and understanding, but is Given Of GOD for HIS Purpose; to change man from his own sinful nature inherited from his forefathers to his becoming a partaker of The Divine Nature; By Grace through faith. 2 Peter 1:1-11. ...However, they did not all heed the Glad Tidings; for Isaiah says,"LORD, who has believed our report?" So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by The Word Of CHRIST...Romans 10 (v 16-17). In the matter of Brotherly love, the follower of CHRIST: the Christian, is taught Of GOD to know to love according to HIM.And toward this, the Christian is admonished by those who are mature - through and because of their practice of The Word toward having their senses trained to discern good and evil (Hebrews 5:13-14) - to test themselves if they are in The faith, to examine themselves, to recognise if JESUS CHRIST is in them: HE WHO Is The Same yesterday and today and forever. And this they shall themselves do and willingly so, because the desire of their heart is for The LORD their GOD: How can a young man keep his way pure?By keeping according to THY Word. With all my heart I have sought THEE;Do not let me wander from THY Commandments. THY Word I have treasured in my heart that I may not sin against THEE. Blessed Art THOU, O LORD;Teach me THY Statutes. With my lips I have told of all the Ordinances Of THY Mouth.I have rejoiced in The Way of THY Testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate on THY Precepts and regard all THY Ways.I shall delight in THY Statutes;I shall not forget THY Word.Psalm 119:9-16. Ecclesiastes 5:1-7.1 Corinthians 11:28-29, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Colossians 2:6-12, Hebrews 4:1-2, Hebrews 12:14-15. Psalm 26. In this way they shall show themselves, more and more as they grow in The Grace and Knowledge Of GOD, to knowing love in the true sense of what love is according to GOD, In The SPIRIT:- 1 Peter 4. This shall be their knowing; through their showing to be patient, kind, not jealous, not bragging, not arrogant, their knowing and proving not to act unbecomingly; that they do not exist toward seeking their own conceits, not being provoked and not taking into account a wrong suffered, not rejoicing in unrighteousness but rejoicing with the truth; bearing all things, believing all things according to GOD In CHRIST JESUS, and enduring all things (the one who endures to the end shall be Saved; Matthew 24:6-14). This is the love that never fails. And in being without this love, the Christian who is a Christian indeed will know to understand that they can speak nothing in Godliness, are nothing toward Godliness, can do nothing according to GOD and HIS Word; which is to us all; there being no partiality.1 Corinthians 13, 1 Timothy 1:5, 1 Peter 4:8, Luke 10:25-28. And this is through The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY Making a Covenant with them; and their living to uphold the Covenant for HIS Purpose, and just as HE HIMSELF Said that it will be:Putting MY Law within them and on their heart I Will Write It; and I will be their GOD, and they shall be MY people.To be taught no more by each man his neighbour and each man his Brother, saying, 'Know The LORD,' but to know by seeing (which comes through JESUS CHRIST; John 1:17-18, Luke 10:21-22, 1 John 5:18-21), from the least of them to the greatest of them, Says The LORD, Forgiving their iniquity and Purifying them from sin. Jeremiah 31:33-34. When GOD'S Law is in the heart, this one will delight to do HIS Will. Psalm 37:30-31, Ezekiel 11:19-20:- Romans 7:22 - 8:1. This means something more than merely reading words on paper, as many live but professing to believe, though only knowing to do as they understand by what it is they read and understand in their own wisdom, and is why they cannot understand in order to do according to GOD. In their being like this it is not unlike observing The Law engraved on tablets of stone as works to do them; which is impossible to do because of the weakness of the flesh. James 2:8-13, James 5:7-12, Romans 2:1-11. ...But to us GOD Revealed Through The SPIRIT; for The SPIRIT Searches all things, even The Depths of GOD. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?Even so, the Thoughts Of GOD no one knows except The SPIRIT Of GOD. Now we have Received, not the spirit of the world, but The SPIRIT WHO Is from GOD, that we might know the things freely Given to us by GOD, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those Taught by The SPIRIT, combining Spiritual with Spiritual. But a natural man does not accept the things Of The SPIRIT Of GOD; for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them, because they are Spiritually appraised. 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 2:10-16.(John 14:15-18, John 15:26-27, John 16:7-15, Ephesians 3:1-12, Romans 11:33 - 12:4). This shall mean exactly what Paul writes in Romans chapter 8 and being of an understanding that is only according to and acceptable to GOD, rather than how many will know and understand to quote this passage of Scripture in believing that it is of themselves as they read these words. They shall do this rather than seeking to recognise to see if it is of themselves and according to Prophecy; such as Jeremiah 31:33-34:For The Testimony Of JESUS Is the spirit of Prophecy: John 5:39-47, 2 Peter 1:19-21:- ...For The Law Of The SPIRIT Of Life In CHRIST JESUS has Set me Free from The Law of sin and death.For what The Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to The SPIRIT, the things Of The SPIRIT. 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; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD. 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...Romans 8:2-9 (2 Corinthians 3:3-6, Galatians 5:22-26, Revelation 21:5-8). ...For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.But let each one examine his own work, 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...Galatians 6:3-5. In this, by this and because of this, these will now know to live and to learn to love being without hypocrisy; they will abhor what is evil and cling to what is good; they shall be seen and known to live being devoted to one another in Brotherly love; giving preference to one another in honour; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving The LORD; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the Saints, practicing hospitality in all their seeking and cleaving to what is upright and honourable before GOD and is according to GOD; through their bondage of service to The LORD and their proving to be evermore joyful in doing so. Romans 12:9-21. In this is their abounding in everything; all faith, utterance, knowledge, with all earnestness, their love for each other being inspired Of GOD and is because of JESUS CHRIST being In them; to this love toward one another which inspires their love; one toward the other. 2 Corinthians 8:7, 2 Corinthians 13:5-8. Galatians 4:19, Ephesians 3:16-21. 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 GOD, for GOD Is Love...1 John 4:7-8. CHRIST In you, The Hope of Glory; Colossians 1:27-29, John 15:4-5. The love Of GOD is reciprocal; mutual.This love, unlike love which is known according to the flesh and is given to change, knows benevolence toward even the one who proves to be their enemy; to any and all who will mock, seek and speak toward their harm. Luke 6:27-38. At least this is how it is supposed to be and shall be when we live according to GOD in The Body Of CHRIST; HIS Church, and because of The HOLY SPIRIT WHO Indwells the believer. Romans 5:1-5, Romans 8:14-17, Matthew 22:36-40, Hebrews 8:10-12. Religion and denominations may speak and teach these things to a degree and to the best of their knowledge, but whilst still according to the flesh, even to the best of our knowledge and ability we are unable to understand to fulfill The Word Of GOD, because flesh and blood cannot perceive The Kingdom Of GOD, it cannot know how to see and to do what is right according to GOD; according to The SPIRIT. John 3:3-8. A slave will not be instructed by words alone;For though he understands, there will be no response.Proverbs 29:19 (John 15:1-5 & v 12-17). "Many will be Purged, Purified and Refined; but the wicked will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand...Daniel 12:10. When the wicked increase, transgression increases, yet the Righteous see it, they recognise it, and they will also see the fall of the wicked when it comes.Psalm 37:34-49, Proverbs 29:16, Malachi 3:13 - 4:6. An unjust man is abominable to the Righteous in the same way as he who is upright in The Way is seen as someone objectionable and disgusting to the wicked.Yet this, of course, is not so with a Christian who is a Christian indeed.But it shall certainly be something known in those who are false brethren; because their "love" is shown as being given to change; bestowed according to favour and is not an unchanging love according to GOD In CHRIST JESUS and with all that is acceptable before HIM; according to HIS SPIRIT, according to all HIS Word. This is recognised as hypocrisy in false brethren and even of the lukewarm Christian; even love which is grown cold, because their faith either lies idle (Matthew 25:1-30) or it is that what they will believe in and follow is just not of The faith according to GOD (Acts 20:28-32, 2 Timothy 4:1-2, 1 Timothy 6:3-21, 1 John 4:1-6). For such as these it is impossible that they can suffer and even die for the sake of Righteousness.And though they will claim to being a Christian, such as The LORD'S Words of Matthew 5:3-12 and Luke 6:20-23 is not speaking of them and cannot be speaking of them. ..."And they come to you as people come, and sit before you as MY people, and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, their heart goes after their gain..."Ezekiel 33:31... They hear the words of a Christian in Truth, but they do not know to do them according to CHRIST.Oftentimes, and sadly it is true with many professing Christians today, their speech is smoother than butter, but their heart is war;Their words are softer than oil, yet they are drawn swords. Psalm 55. He who speaks truth tells what is right, but a false witness, deceit.There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.Truthful lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only for a moment.Deceit is in the heart of those who decide evil, but counselors of peace have joy.Proverbs 12:17-20. And in such as this, the hypocrite is recognised when and by their knowing to show favour; being given to change and not knowing to be impartial.They know only to live this way instead of being as we are Called as Christians; how we are Invited by GOD to be, so that we may indeed stand as the Chosen Of GOD, Holy and Beloved through our living wholly to HIM.But they will unknowingly show to let their love be with hypocrisy. And the hypocrite with their living contrary to CHRIST will speak gracious words to one and shall know to show favour to another, but in their being a hypocrite they will not know the constancy of the same toward all others, even though they stand in The Name of Christian.And those who do so and refuse to know repentance will maintain to do so, and in their doing so they are despising The Word Of GOD in their heart. ...I solemnly charge you in The Presence of GOD and of CHRIST JESUS and of Chosen angels, to maintain these without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.1 Timothy 5:21 (James 3:10-18). And in The Church we are to recognise and avoid such men as these, if they will choose to determine not to hear and accept correction so as to heed the warning. Because if we still accept them as a Christian and despite our instruction according to The Word and SPIRIT Of GOD, and this is what we continue to know to do, then we, before GOD, are partakers with them in their evil deeds and by our own selves we stand condemned, being as guilty as they are in the matter. 2 John:6-11. 2 Timothy 3:15-17. When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart. (Proverbs 6:16-19)Though his hatred covers itself with guile, his wickedness will be Revealed before The Assembly. He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth works ruin.Proverbs 26:25-28. But such as this will not need to be spoken time and time again by way of commandment to one who is a Christian in truth; who has a heart after GOD'S Own Heart.But it will be learned and willingly so to it being clearly known and shown as understood in and through the one who gives all diligence in their earnestness to their accomplishing The Will and Word Of GOD. 1 John 4.And they do this, not only in their own lives, but also desiring that it be known in the lives of all others and heard in those who will name themselves as being Of CHRIST; Galatians 6:1-10.And this is their knowing love in The SPIRIT Of GOD. Luke 10:25-28. And we know that all things work together for Good to those who love GOD, to those who are Called according to Purpose...Romans 8:28 ...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...2 Corinthians 4:5-6. Because as Christians who are Christians indeed, our exhortation is not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor is it in guile, but as The Grace Of GOD is seen in us we are thus recognised as being Of GOD; being of those who have been entrusted with The Gospel.And it is in the right manner that they will speak and shall always look to do so; not as pleasing any mere mortal man, but GOD, WHO Alone Approves our hearts.1 Thessalonians 2:4. 1 Corinthians 4:1-7, 1 Timothy 1:5-11, 2 Timothy 1:13-14. If we had forgotten The Name of our GOD, or extended our hands to a strange god;Would not GOD find this out?For HE Knows the secrets of the heart. But for THY Sake we are killed all day long;We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.Psalm 44:20-22 (Romans 8:31-39). And in our understanding, such as this as it is according to GOD, is how we will know not to flatter any man, our knowing not to use flattering words and to speak as a pretext or pretence for covetousness in our looking to gain recognition as a Christian and whatever else it is we will desire for ourselves in it all, rather than our living according to GOD In CHRIST JESUS. This is because we know that GOD Is our Witness and Is The ONE WHO Bears Witness to whether we are HIS children; of those who do not seek any glory for themselves, but that GOD Alone be Glorified Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.To HIM The Glory, both now and to The Day of eternity. Amen.Romans 8:9-14, Romans 5:1-5. This is in our loving, not merely in word or with tongue, but in deed and Truth; by pureness, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, By The HOLY SPIRIT, by love unfeigned. 1 John 3:18-24, Ephesians 4:1-6, Galatians 5:13-18. The heart that knows to do this is the heart that knows to depart from evil and to do good, who seeks patience and pursues it.Because those who love The LORD will hate evil; and The LORD Preserves the souls of HIS Saints; HE Delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. Psalm 97:8-12, Romans 8:28-30, Psalm 145:17-21. Those who belong to GOD; those who are HIS get understanding through HIS Precepts and they hate every false way. Psalm 119:118-136. How sweet are THY Words to my taste! Sweeter than honey to my mouth! From THY Precepts I get Understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. THY Word Is A Lamp to my feet, and A Light to my path. I have sworn, and I will confirm it, that I will keep THY Righteous Ordinances. I am exceedingly afflicted;Revive me according to THY Word.O accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and Teach me THINE Ordinances. My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget THY Law.Psalm 119:103-109 (Ecclesiastes 5:1-5). Through possessing such a heart is because they know the fear of The LORD, and through this is how it is understood to hate evil; to hate pride and arrogance and a perverse mouth.Proverbs 4:20-27, Proverbs 8. "Though I am Righteous, my mouth will condemn me;Though I am guiltless, HE Will Declare me guilty.Job 9:20. And this is how they know from their heart to walk as imitators of CHRIST, WHO HIMSELF Loves Righteousness and Hates iniquity. Hebrews 1:1 - 2:4. Therefore, they always look never to recompense evil for evil in any form to anyone.But at all times they look to follow that which is Good, both among themselves and looking for this to be known, understood and acknowledged by all who will call upon The Name Of The LORD; looking to follow peace with all men and the Holiness without which no one will see The LORD.Hebrews 12:5-15.This is The Grace Of GOD. Because he that has a mind to love life and see Good days knows to refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile.He will always deviate away from evil so as to do good; to seek peace and pursue it.And so, being full of Goodness; being filled with Godly knowledge is his being able and of those who will truly admonish one another according to GOD. 1 Peter 3:8-22. The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.Proverbs 14:11-12. This is their being partakers of The Grace Of GOD Given them In CHRIST JESUS, that in everything they are Enriched In HIM, in all utterances and all knowledge; being agreeable to The Testimony Of CHRIST and with this being confirmed in them, so that they lack no such Godly faculty in their living, patiently waiting, either for The Coming Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST or when HE will Call them Home before The Day; and then HIS Confirming them blameless til the end in The Day Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.1 Corinthians 1:4-8, Philippians 2:12-16, 1 Thessalonians 5:14-24. Therefore, Beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by HIM in peace, spotless and blameless, and regard The Patience of our LORD to be Salvation; just as also our Beloved Brother Paul, according to the wisdom Given him, wrote to you, as also in all letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as also the rest of The Scriptures, to their own destruction. 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 3:14-18. This is a Christian; born again to a living hope through The Resurrection Of JESUS CHRIST. This is the one who is indeed a partaker of The New Covenant. These are they who, having been Grafted into The Rich Root Of The Olive Tree, become the children of the Prophets and Of The Covenant which GOD Made with the forefathers, Saying to Abraham,"And in your seed shall all the kindred people of the earth be Blessed." Acts 3:22-25, Galatians 3:5-16. Covenant: the Greek word, diathēkē: properly a disposition, that is, specifically a contract, especially a devisory will:- testament. This partaker of The New Covenant: this Christian, is one who lives showing that they understand that we Receive a Kingdom which cannot be moved, and they, through and by their faith, have Grace whereby they may truly serve GOD acceptably; with reverence and awe; knowing and always learning to let no corrupt communication proceed out of their mouths, but only that which is good for edification, that it may minister Grace to those who hear. Colossians 4:6. These are the salt of the earth, the light of the world, and these remain as such; unless the salt becomes tasteless; unless the light that is in them proves to be darkness: Proverbs 15:1-18, Proverbs 26:4-5, Ephesians 4:29 - 5:2. Luke 11:33-36. "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty?It is good for nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."Nor do men light a lamp, and put it under the peck-measure, but on the lampstand; and it gives light to all who are in the house. "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your Good works, and glorify your FATHER WHO Is In Heaven...Matthew 5:13-16. We, therefore, are to know to be strong in The Grace that is In CHRIST JESUS, always knowing to be so and the same is toward all the Brethren, calling the same for all also and entreating them to grow all the more in The Grace and Knowledge Of GOD; just as they themselves look out for you in looking out for the Brethren as we sojourn in our time in this world.Matthew 20:25-28, Romans 15:1-7, 1 Corinthians 10:31 - 11:1, Ephesians 4:21 - 5:2, 1 John 2:4-7, Philippians 2:1-5, James 5:19-20. This, so that we may know and are persuaded only by GOD and through them knowing, because we can see to recognise that they are full of Goodness, to being filled with all Knowledge, able also to admonish one another; that in everything we are enriched In HIM in all utterance and in all knowledge; being filled with The Fruits Of Righteousness, just as The Testimony Of CHRIST is confirmed in us, which is all By JESUS CHRIST to the praise and Glory Of GOD. 1 Corinthians 1:4-10. And this is and is to be our prayer, to be that our love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgement. And because of this is our living to know to apply all diligence in our faith, supplying moral excellence in knowledge, and in this is self-control, and in this self-control is perseverance, and this perseverance is toward Godliness, Brotherly kindness and love; which is the perfect bond of unity.2 Peter 1:1-11. And by these qualities being in us is our always growing in The Grace and Knowledge Of our LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST to Eternal Life, knowing to be not unwise but wise, truly understanding what The Will Of The LORD is; in The Unity Of The faith and Of The Knowledge Of The SON Of GOD towards our being Made Complete; a perfect man; being nourished on the Meat Of The Word, as is of those who by reason of use thereof do indeed have their senses trained to discern both Good and evil.And in all this the eyes of the heart being Enlightened that we may know what is The Hope Of HIS Calling, and what are The Riches of The Glory Of HIS Inheritance in the Saints. Ephesians 1, Colossians 1. This is a Christian; one who lives that this word be fulfilled in them. May it be so. Amen. So in all our living let us extract the precious from the worthless that in all our lives it is through us that GOD Gives Glory to HIS Name, because of HIS Lovingkindness, because of HIS Truth. HE Alone Is Able. HE Alone Is Worthy. Psalm 145. To HIM The Glory both now and forever. Amen. ...Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;In that very day his thoughts perish. How Blessed is he whose help is The GOD of Jacob, whose hope is in The LORD his GOD;WHO Made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them;WHO Keeps faith forever;WHO Executes Justice for the oppressed;WHO Gives food to the hungry.The LORD Sets the prisoners Free. The LORD Opens the eyes of the blind;The LORD Raises Up those who are bowed down;The LORD Loves the Righteous;The LORD Protects the strangers;HE Supports the fatherless and the widow;But HE Thwarts the way of the wicked...Psalm 146:3-9. As far as it depends on us; with us In CHRIST and HE in us; as imitators of GOD as Beloved children, we should know to do likewise as HE Works both in us and through us toward Eternal Life and to the praise of HIS Glory. Amen.

This post speaks of the truth Of GOD in the believer according to The faith that is in CHRIST JESUS. It speaks of the self-righteous; of those who will accuse others of being self-righteous and more to the true meaning of what means being, self-righteous. It speaks of legalism; its true definition and of those who are the legalist according to its true definition. It speaks something of Spiritual blindness in the words spoken and actions resulting and The Scriptures used by many unknowingly, in that they show themselves as yet at least to not truly understanding according to GOD, according to their very own words and deeds. It speaks of seeing with the eyes of the heart and what this is, means, and causes to be in the one who does indeed see in truly possessing a Spiritual faculty in having fellowship with GOD The FATHER And The LORD JESUS CHRIST. It speaks and explains something of the Spiritual sense in being either rich or poor. It speaks of light and Righteousness along The Narrow Path to the fulfillment of The Law; which is love. It speaks of the consequence to any and all as Christians who will choose to live being contrary to these things; contrary according to GOD and HIS Word to us all, and for those who will stubbornly in their blindness refuse correction of The Word in their rebellion to Divine Authority (thus being of the spirit of the antichrist no matter how much they deny it of themselves). Who rather trust in and by their own wisdom and yet will name themselves, Christian. It speaks something of repentance where Godly repentance is truly needed in these things. It is all spoken in accordance with and substantiated by The Word Of GOD.But if you read, examine carefully and disagree with anything written and believe of yourself that you are a Christian who walks after GOD'S Own Heart, then speak from The Word to show it, and we will humbly examine everything carefully together, from The Word alone as is proper among the Saints, so that GOD Alone be found true; as is The Truth and can only ever be, and so is our knowing true repentance leading to The Knowledge Of The Truth and it may be known by all. Many are asleep and the days are short and the time for many to wake from their sleep is now.To repent and make ready The Way Of The LORD; to make HIS Paths straight. May GOD Be With you.Just as HE Will be and Is with those who will walk in Righteousness and Holiness Of The Truth, according to all HIS Word.HIS Grace being sufficient for when they will stumble and get it wrong along The Way to their overcoming sin. To GOD The Glory Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Always.Amen. https://www.chess.com/blog/InlovewithJESUS/godly-wisdom-to-recognising-the-grace-of-god

My apologies but I wanted to post this here but to post on my page took around 90 minutes, as how I type up and then attempt to copy and paste does not paste how I have typed it. And it is prone to freezing or disappearing mid way through. And given this, it also isn't the easiest thing to do via a phone. So I post the link here for any who care to read.

Chosen Of GOD "The Secret things belong to The LORD our GOD, but the things Revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all The Words Of This Law...Deuteronomy 29:29 To us all, and there being none anywhere with excuse, we are Saved only by Grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST that The Law be established in those who no longer walk according to the flesh but according to The SPIRIT.Romans 3:31, 7:22, 8:2-8, 10:4, Psalm 40:7-8, Isaiah 42:21, Jeremiah 31:33-34, Hebrews 10:14-39. ..."If I had not Come and Spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin...John 15:22. The LORD JESUS Speaks this, because in the Old Covenant it was continual sacrifice for sins, but in The New Covenant In HIS Blood, GOD'S Purpose is that through faith in JESUS CHRIST The SON Of GOD; The LAMB Of GOD WHO Takes Away the sin of the world: The Sacrifice for sin once for all is to the overcoming of sin; and not to and for our remaining sinning, as Hebrews chapter 10 in itself explains most clearly. And if HE had not Come, then the Old Covenant, people continuing in sin because of the weakness of the flesh, with continual sacrifices being offered for sin and indeed all of the Old Covenant would have remained, and Salvation would not have Come to the Gentiles (Acts 10:34-48). The Blood Of CHRIST, WHO Through The Eternal SPIRIT Offered HIMSELF without blemish to GOD, will Cleanse the conscience from dead works, to serve The Living GOD; through and because of The SPIRIT Of GOD, Given By Grace to those who obey HIM (Acts 5:30-32, 1 Corinthians 2:9-16, Romans 8:9-14, Galatians 5:5). Through The faith that is in CHRIST JESUS GOD Gives The HOLY SPIRIT whereby begins and, through our continuing in The faith, is maintained the process of our Sanctification (2 Thessalonians 2:13-17, Hebrews 12:14-15); The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT (Titus 3). And as faith means a moral conviction as to the truthfulness Of GOD and accordingly a sole reliance upon JESUS CHRIST, all now as a Christian, with HIS Word and Example being believed on and accepted as being to all only what is appropriate, acceptable and adequate (as our adequacy is from GOD and nothing of ourselves; it is wholly from GOD, 2 Corinthians 3:3-6, Romans 8:5-10, Ephesians 4:17-24, 1 Corinthians 2:10-14), our conduct shall be and is to be, accordingly, aligned with all The Word Of GOD and never is it to be nor shall it be contrary to The Word Of GOD. Matthew 4:4. This is not 'works' as some would like to assert, but is, by faith, being The Word Of GOD which performs Its Work in those who believe. 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10, John 15:3-6, John 17:17, Romans 6:17-18, Colossians 1:2-6, 1 Peter 1:23-25, 1 John 3:1-3, 1 John 5:4. And so, for the Chosen Of GOD, whatever is contrary to The Word will never be willingly held on to: because of their being Conformed to HIS Image in the process of Sanctification; the day by day Renewing of the inner man to being in likeness of and imitator of CHRIST HIMSELF (Matthew 11:25-30, Isaiah 61, Acts 15:8-11, 1 John 2:1-11, John 8:29-36, Hebrews 10:26-31). ...And we know that all things work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are Called according to Purpose. For whom HE Foreknew, HE also Predestined Conformed to The Image of HIS SON, that HE might be The First-Born among many Brethren; and whom HE Predestined, these HE also Called; and whom HE Called, these HE also Justified (Romans 3:26-27, Romans 8:12-17); and whom HE Justified, these HE also Glorified...Romans 8:28-30. Through faith in CHRIST JESUS The LORD, our dying to the flesh; being obedient from the heart, is our having been freed from sin and our becoming slaves of Righteousness (Romans 6:10-18); whereby we shall bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance. This is the way of repentance for the Forgiveness of sins: This is The Message Of The Gospel (Luke 24:46-47). "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.Luke 16:10. (Matthew 5). It was for Freedom that CHRIST set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.Galatians 5:1.This is Freedom from The Law of sin and death; to our freedom from being enslaved to the flesh with its lusts and desires. ...For The Law Of The SPIRIT Of Life In CHRIST JESUS has set me Free from The Law of sin and death.For what The Law could not do, weak as it was through (because of) the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin (John 1:29), HE Condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), but those who are according to The SPIRIT, the things Of The SPIRIT (Romans 5:1-2, Galatians 5:22-26). 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; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD. 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...Romans 8:2-9. But how often and how easy it is for those who profess to believe to yet still argue amongst themselves, arguing with one another and with any who will not determine matters pertaining to GOD to be as they themselves will see it, and in doing so is there upholding the flesh; and in this is all that is opposed to The SPIRIT. And yet in their doing so they do not see; and all the while they do not perceive their not being able to see, that the doing of is not Life and peace according to GOD and HIS Word; because they, in their current state, are unable to subject themselves; that is, their spirit (their sentient element) to being able to be subject to The Law Of GOD. They do not, as such a man who is the example to follow in the Apostle Paul, joyfully concur with The Law Of GOD in their inner man, and bearing a spirit being towards fulfillment of The Law through faith, which to us now in The New Covenant is, in its fulfillment, love (1 Corinthians 13). Love, which comes Through The HOLY SPIRIT; The love Of GOD that has been Poured Out within our hearts Through The HOLY SPIRIT WHO was Given to us. To blindly do what they will do, they do not live truly understanding such as Ephesians 4:29 - 5:17 in their maintaining strife and division and what, to GOD, constitutes hate and all that is the antithesis to love in their lacking humility, because they remain being led by the flesh, doing deeds according to the flesh. Though they will deny it of themselves and shall accuse any who attempt to correct them from and according to The Word, their words and deeds bear witness to all of this in light of The Word Of GOD, which they profess to understand but are shown not to understand. They cannot see that they are breaking Scripture; the very Word which they shall be Judged by; just as we are told by The LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHOM they profess their faith to be in; The faith through which any and all will be Taught and Guided into all Truth and understanding thereof By The SPIRIT Of GOD. In John 12:44-50, John 15:20-27, John 16:13-15 it is clear in and by these Scriptures alone that we are to know that any self profession of being a Christian is not evidence of a Christian and never is the evidence of a Christian in truth.As Scripture says in John 15, we bear witness also, which is through and by The SPIRIT, Romans 8:16, 2 Corinthians 1:12-14, 1 John 5:10-13.It is this, rather than our knowing arrogance and pride in arguments, maintaining strife and division according to the flesh and always being contrary to The SPIRIT, and so contrary to all The Word Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS. (Proverbs 24:20-28).It all depends on how we see, just as our LORD JESUS Says in Luke 11:33-36.The lamp of the body is our faculty of knowing (Psalm 119:17-21). As HE Said to Paul in Acts 26:18, this is for all who, in truth, call on HIS Name for Forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:17-23). We must take care therefore in how we see, that the light in us is not darkness. ...but in every nation the man who fears HIM and does what is right, is welcome to HIM."The Word which HE Sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through JESUS CHRIST (HE Is LORD Of All) - you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed..."Acts 10:35-37. If we refuse correction according to The Word, from whoever shows us (Ephesians 5:21), then, according to The Word, because of our own arrogance in refusing GOD according to HIS Word, we shall perish. Fleshly and Righteous judgement are not the same, though many who do the former rather than the latter cannot see they are doing so; because they cannot truly see as they themselves believe they see.And their words and deeds being contrary to CHRIST, their upholding disunity, will always, always show it. Accordingly, they will blindly accuse one who is trying to show them, because of their blindness, and so in arrogance before GOD is their refusing the correction of The Word according to The Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Psalm 19:7-14, Psalm 119:97-109, Micah 2:7, Ephesians 4:11-16, Proverbs 6:16-23, Proverbs 15:6-12, Proverbs 15:31-33, John 3:19-21, Ephesians 5:9-17, 2 Timothy 2:24-26, Psalm 119:9, Matthew 22:31-32). A man who lives not by faith according to Scripture; The GOD Breathed Word, even though he himself professes to believe, is a double-minded man and accordingly he is and shall be seen to be unstable in all his ways.His conduct in all his words and deeds shall show to being contrary to CHRIST; contrary to The Word Of GOD as opposed to his living upholding The Word that It performs Its work in those who believe; according to GOD (1 Thessalonians 2:13, John 15:2-6, Romans 6:15-18, 1 Corinthians 3:16-18, 1 John 3:3, 1 Peter 1:23), and so according to these Scriptures shall be the being led and our shown to be being led By The HOLY SPIRIT. And it is why Paul writes as he does to those who have indeed received The Word Of GOD, such as Colossians 1:3-6, of their love In The SPIRIT.He does not write these words to those who live to prove themselves as being sons of disobedience. For the one who professes to believe and yet walks contrary to The love Of The SPIRIT; contrary to The Word, he lacks wisdom which shall be shown in and how he will conduct himself in The Name of a Christian, in that he shall openly act contrary to The Word; contrary to the Apostles teaching; contrary to CHRIST, and will not understand to embrace correction from The Word when shown from The Word.Such a one is then refusing Godly discipline, showing himself an arrogant man being all that is contrary to the humility required in order to being on The Narrow Path and being Cleansed to truly sharing GOD'S Holiness.And in his doing so, whoever he is and whatever he believes of himself, he alone is the one who excludes himself from the life Of GOD. Apart from repentance, like flowering grass he will pass away.Hebrews 12:6-15. (James 1). Take heed of Peter's warning and in doing so believing a man Of GOD in truth rather than such as those who are truly, before GOD, untaught and unstable, who cannot see to understand The Word in Truth and so, in pride and arrogance, will refuse any form of correction in and from and according to The Word. Those of whom, even when shown The Word in relation to any wrongdoing, shall either refuse to acknowledge The Word, choosing not to examine everything according to The Word in all that they are being shown, or, even when reading It shall not see to understand; and in it all not understanding that the light in them is darkness. Those who, if any are taken in by them, to take heed of them over following GOD when they mistakingly believe that they are following GOD, shall be taken with those to following and sharing their fate in condemnation, through and because they are disobedient to The Word. 1 Peter 2:1-8. Instead, stand firm, have faith in GOD, examine everything carefully.Examine what they say, what they do, what they teach and will accept in all behaviour as a Christian and align all with The Word Of GOD alone.Because, at the end, The Word is what we all shall be Judged by.And each one of us shall bear his own load.GOD HIMSELF Says it is so. This is why it is essential to know The Word Of GOD for yourself to your being able to examine everything carefully, to recognise that what any say and do is according to The Word is, according to GOD, Of The Way in truth.This way, rather than by way of accepting what they themselves will tell you and state what is according to The Word and The Way Of Righteousness. The LORD GOD Speaks peace to HIS people, and accordingly the humble state of HIS people shall do likewise; because of The LORD their GOD (Numbers 6:26, Psalm 29:11, 2 Thessalonians 3:16). The way of the Righteous is smooth;O UPRIGHT ONE, Make the path of the Righteous level.Indeed, the way of THY Judgements, O LORD we have waited for THEE eagerly;THY Name, even THY memory, is the desire of our souls. At night my soul longs for THEE, indeed, my spirit within me seeks THEE diligently;For when the earth experiences THY Judgements the inhabitants of the world learn Righteousness. Though the wicked is Shown Favour, he does not learn Righteousness;He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, and does not perceive The Majesty Of The LORD. O LORD, THY Hand is Lifted Up yet they do not see it They see Zeal for the people and are put to shame;Indeed, fire will devour THINE enemies.LORD, THOU Wilt Establish Peace for us, since THOU hast also Performed for us all our works.Isaiah 26:7-12 Show us THY Lovingkindness, O LORD, and Grant us THY Salvation.I will hear what GOD The LORD will Say;For HE Will Speak Peace to HIS people, to HIS Godly ones;But let them not turn back to folly. Surely HIS Salvation is near to those who fear HIM, that Glory may dwell in our land. Lovingkindness and Truth have met together;Righteousness and Peace have kissed each other. Truth springs from the earth;And Righteousness Looks Down from Heaven.Indeed, The LORD will Give what is Good;And our land will yield its produce.Righteousness will go before HIM, and will make HIS Footsteps into a way.Psalm 85:7-13. With the world we have tribulation, but In JESUS CHRIST there is peace, just as The LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF Says, written in John 16:33.So, therefore, those who are truly In CHRIST shall not be themselves of and a cause to any of tribulation: oppression, affliction, anguish, distress; just as Scripture States. Those devoid of The SPIRIT refuse all and any of those who will follow after them of their right by Grace through faith to the Indwelling Of The HOLY SPIRIT which comes only through The faith that is in CHRIST JESUS; and they too, accordingly, will not and cannot know the Guidance or Correction of The HOLY SPIRIT. Because of following men they will not know to understand what this even means and what it truly is to experience to know, because of their stubborn arrogance in unbelief also; because of an unrepentant heart. JESUS CHRIST Alone is our Teacher; and we shall most certainly become like the one we set before ourselves as our teacher. Luke 6:39-49. It is through The Word Of GOD, through which only in obedience to; and so is being obedient to CHRIST from the heart, that any may grow in The Grace and Knowledge Of our LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. 2 Peter 3:16-18. JESUS CHRIST Alone Is The Way And The Truth And The Life. No one comes to The FATHER but Through HIM. John 14:6. Many will have you follow after them and shall persuade you with flattering speech and with boasting in themselves, in titles as they themselves will see it, and achievements; works, in order to impress and to gain your loyalty towards them, rather than to CHRIST.And they, of which we are warned against, are many. Acts 20:28-32. These do not live to show truly knowing to understand that Through CHRIST JESUS we have our access In One SPIRIT (spirit) to The FATHER (Ephesians 2:18, Hebrews 7:25, John 1:17, John 15:1-6, 2 Corinthians 1:18-22, 1 Peter 3:8). "Truly, truly, I Say to you, if anyone keeps MY Word he shall never see death."John 8:51. And those who are indeed Chosen Of GOD will show not to know disobedience; they will know repentance to their knowing not to do what is contrary to The Word because, and as with all who are truly born Of GOD, they shall stand on The Word alone, always seeking that GOD Alone be found true; seeking to be as one; to be made Complete in the same mind and in the same judgement. 1 Corinthians 1:10. And we know this because of Scripture and The SPIRIT Of GOD, and all is with far reaching reason also; to be the light of the world, the salt of the earth; being a living testimony to and of the Grace and Truth Of GOD: ..."And The Glory which THOU Hast Given ME I have Given to them; that they may be one, just as WE Are ONE; I In them, and THOU In ME, that they may be Perfected in Unity, that the world may know that THOU Didst Send ME, and didst love them, even as THOU Didst love ME...John 17 (v22-23). ...And everyone who has this Hope on HIM purifies himself, just as HE Is Pure.Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.And you know that HE Appeared in order to Take Away sins; and in HIM there is no sin.No one who abides In HIM sins; no one who sins has seen HIM or knows HIM. Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as HE Is Righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The SON Of GOD Appeared for this purpose, that HE might destroy the works of the devil.No one who is born Of GOD practices sin, because HIS Seed Abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born Of GOD...1 John 3:3-9.(Matthew 7:20-27, 2 Timothy 2:19-26, Psalm 5:4-12, Revelation 22:12-21). Pay heed, you senseless among the people;And when will you understand, stupid ones? HE WHO Planted the ear, does HE not Hear?HE WHO Formed the eye, does HE not See?HE WHO Chastens the nations, will HE not Rebuke, even HE WHO Teaches man knowledge?The LORD Knows the thoughts of man, that they are a mere breath. Blessed is the man whom THOU Dost Chasten, O LORD, and Dost Teach out of THY Law;That THOU mayest Grant him relief from the days of adversity, until a pit is dug for the wicked. For The LORD will not abandon HIS people, nor will HE forsake HIS Inheritance.For judgement will again be Righteous;And all the upright in heart will follow it...Psalm 94:8-15. Many will not be able to enter HIS Rest because of unbelief; not even understanding what this means nor what this shall accordingly bring with it, ... Therefore, let us fear lest, while a Promise remains of entering HIS Rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. For indeed we have had Good News preached to us, just as they also; but The Word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard...Hebrews 4:1-2. To come short of The Grace Of GOD is to fail; it is to live as being inferior to Grace in and because of lacking and being destitute of Grace.And this is because of living not by faith according to Scripture and so, not according to GOD. By faith we enter into this Grace in which we stand; and we remain standing in Grace by continuing in The faith: living from faith and towards faith.Romans 1:16-17, Romans 5:1-5. We are warned not to receive The Grace Of GOD in vain, giving no cause for offense in anything, in order that The Ministry be not discredited, but in everything commending ourselves as servants Of GOD, in any and all situations and circumstance; in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, In The HOLY SPIRIT, in genuine love, in The Word Of Truth, in The Power Of GOD...(2 Corinthians 5:20 - 6:10). The Chosen Of GOD do not receive The Grace Of GOD in vain; it is what makes them the Chosen Of GOD.They know repentance to their overcoming of sin and to live day by day evermoreso no longer being enslaved to sin.It is the desire of their heart.Their words and deeds shall bear witness to their fruit being in keeping with repentance through the Renewing of their inner man; their growing from faith to faith, because Through JESUS CHRIST they truly are believers in GOD. And our faith is increased through and because of our obedience in our walk(Luke 17:1-10, 2 Thessalonians 1:2-5, Romans 11:33-36, Philippians 3). Our faith in GOD makes us Whole: our faith in GOD is what Saves us (Luke 7:50, Luke 8:48, Luke 17:19, Luke 18:42, Mark 10:51-52). We know, because we are told By GOD through HIS Word that if we confess with our mouth JESUS LORD (which means that we now do what HE Says; Luke 6:46-49) and believe in our heart GOD Raised HIM from the dead (which means our believing that as The FATHER Raised CHRIST from the dead Through The Glory Of The FATHER, so we too now walk in Newness of Life: we live in Newness of Life, Romans 6:1-14), our hearts shall not now condemn us because of and in view of all The Word Of GOD.Romans 10. So then those who are of faith are Blessed with Abraham, the believer.Galatians 3:9. Whether one confesses JESUS LORD and believes in their heart and then soon after that day in which they first believed will pass away from this world, or, if one lives for a long time after that day, nevertheless it is faith that is still the requirement in all our living: we live as not being of the world, just as JESUS; John 17:14, 1 John 4:6-14. Through JESUS CHRIST we have obtained our introduction by faith into this Grace in which we stand, and by faith we remain being under Grace and not under Law; Law whereby is Judgement for sin. But not all of GOD'S people understand this, as the example given in Jeremiah 8:6-9 shows (2 Timothy 3:16-17).Hebrews 12:14-15, & v 25-29. An unjust man is abominable to the Righteous, and he who is upright in The Way is abominable to the wicked.Proverbs 29:27. But if you are Led By The SPIRIT, you are not under The Law. Galatians 5:18. The LORD JESUS HIMSELF Shows and teaches the heart and mercy of GOD'S Forgiveness even on pain of HIS Own death (Luke 23:34), and that if, in a short while from believing (e.g., Luke 23:39-43), or a life lived long after the day we first believe, it is nevertheless that faith in JESUS CHRIST is the essential requirement to our receiving Grace. Romans 5 & 6. Matthew 20:1-16 and the telling of the labourers in the vineyard is Spoken to show us that GOD can do as HE wishes with HIS Own (John 17:2-3, 1 John 5:18-20, Colossians 3:1-4, 1 Timothy 1:16). But, there are those who themselves claim to have received Grace and Mercy and yet they both speak and act as though they have not received.For these, The Word they heard does not profit them, because it is not united by faith; a moral conviction as to the truthfulness Of GOD and accordingly a sole reliance upon JESUS CHRIST.It is why they will act in word and deed being contrary to Grace and Mercy.And yet, without faith it is impossible to please (Hebrews 11:6, Numbers 20:7-13, John 3:18-21, 2 Peter 3:10-18). It is faith working through love. From the one who has been Given much The LORD shall require much (Matthew 25:14-30, 1 Corinthians 5:6-8, 1 Timothy 6:20-21) ...As each one has Received a Gift, employ it in serving one another (Ephesians 4:12-16); as good stewards of The Manifold Grace Of GOD.Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, The Utterances Of GOD; whoever serves, let him do so as by the Strength which GOD Supplies; so that in all things GOD may be Glorified Through JESUS CHRIST, to WHOM Belongs The Glory and Dominion forever and ever. Amen.1 Peter 4:10-11 So, you who read here, how long have you lived professing HIS Name?How long ago was the day you first believed and have since that day laid claim to being a partaker of Grace in being a disciple of JESUS CHRIST?And in all this time, does your living bear fruit that bears witness to Godly repentance in a living that has indeed been from faith and towards faith?This means the producing of Good fruit; because a good tree cannot produce bad fruit (Matthew 7:7-27). Or, are you still as now in need of repentance in the things you should, by now, have died to and yet have not, because even though you believe of yourself and those like you, you do not, even now, live as truly understanding even the elementary principles of The faith? Hebrews 5:11 - 6:8. Do you even know to examine yourself so as to be able to see to recognise if JESUS CHRIST is in you? The seat of tender affections; kindness, benevolence, compassion, whereby mercy resides in the heart of those who are the Holy and Beloved Of GOD; who know by and because of these qualities that are now of and becoming evermoreso their nature; a nature once not known by them; not before being anything of their nature, but now, by The Grace Of GOD, this New nature; being New in quality in contrast to what was once their old and sinful nature, these, in and by their faith, shall indeed show to know to furnish moral excellence and in this moral excellence, knowledge, wherein and whereby is self-control and perseverance in their piety towards GOD in dutiful respect in and by devout fulfillment of the obligation according to GOD (Romans 8:12-14, Hebrews 12:25 - 13:1). Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions.Proverbs 10:12. And whereby in perseverance in this is shown Godliness, which bears witness to brotherly kindness whereby in all of these things is the love Of GOD borne out in all their living; this being in and of their thoughts, words and deeds; being the fulfillment of The Law (1 Corinthians 13:4-7), by which in doing so they confess JESUS before men (Luke 12:8-9), and The Entrance into The Eternal Kingdom Of our LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST is abundantly supplied to them.Such as these are indeed the Elect Of GOD; evidenced in their living, word and deed.(2 Peter 1:1-11). In Completeness, being Made Complete by GOD through faith (2 Thessalonians 2 13-17): They will not judge(Matthew 7:1-5, James 4:11-12). They will not themselves condemn others, nor live to leave themselves being condemned(Galatians 6:1-10, 2 Corinthians 7:1-3, James 5:12, Jude:3-4). They will not show partiality(James 3:17-18, Malachi 2:1-10, 1 Timothy 5:19-21). They will recognise and not be able to turn away from the poor and the needy; because their heart will not allow them to do so(Deuteronomy 15:7-11, Proverbs 21:13, Proverbs 22:9, Isaiah 58:6-12, Jeremiah 22:15-16, Jeremiah 31:33-34, Psalm 82, Luke 3:8-11, Acts 4:32-36, Romans 15:25-27, Galatians 2:10, Titus 1:15-16, James 2:14-17, 1 John 3:14-19). They will not be arrogant(Psalm 5:4-8, Psalm 31:23-24, Proverbs 6:16-19, James 3:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:13-15, 2 Corinthians 10:1-5). They will not be prideful(Habakkuk 2:4, Luke 18:8-17, 1 Peter 5:5-11, Job 35:5-13, Psalm 10:1-7, Psalm 36:5-12, Proverbs 8:13-14, Proverbs 13:9-10, Proverbs 14:2-3, Proverbs 16:17-19, Proverbs 29:23, Mark 7:20-23, 1 John 2:15-17). They will not maintain division(Romans 16:17-18, 1 Corinthians 1:10, 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, 1 Corinthians 11:18-19, 1 Corinthians 12:20 - 13:13). They will not hate what is good and love what is evil(Proverbs 8:12-14, Proverbs 12:1-3, Proverbs 15:7-12, Proverbs 26:20-28, Isaiah 5:18-20, Isaiah 66:5, Amos 5:6-10, Amos 5:14-15, Matthew 5:43-48, Luke 6:27-49, John 3:19-21, 1 John 2:8-11, 1 John 3:14-19, 1 John 4:20 - 5:4). They will know and learn not to speak nor argue from themselves(Job 28:28, Proverbs 3:5-8, Proverbs 12:13-15, Proverbs 26:11-12, Proverbs 29:20, Psalm 34:11-22, Isaiah 5:21, Luke 18:9-14, John 7:17-18, Romans 12:16-21, 1 Corinthians 3:18-20, James 3:13-18, Revelation 3:14-21). They will not think highly of themselves(Exodus 20:3, 1 Corinthians 10:12-15, 1 John 5:21, Romans 12:9-11, Ephesians 5:21, Habakkuk 2:4, Hebrews 10:37-38, Philippians 2:1-5, Romans 13:14, 1 Peter 5:1-11, Isaiah 57:14-15, Isaiah 66:1-5). They will not be wise in their own estimation(Romans 12:16-18, Proverbs 3:5-18, Proverbs 10:16-17, Proverbs 11:8-9, Isaiah 5:20-21, 1 Corinthians 3:18-23, 1 Corinthians 8:2-3). They will not commend themselves(2 Corinthians 10:17-18, 2 Corinthians 5:10-12, 2 Timothy 2:11-15, 1 Corinthians 4:1-5, Romans 14:17-19, Proverbs 24:12-14). They will not slander; be malicious, false, defamatory toward any(Romans 3:31: Leviticus 19:15-18, Proverbs 10:16-21, Psalm 15, Ephesians 4:29-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11). They will not lie(Leviticus 19-11-12, Zechariah 8:16-17, Colossians 3:1-17, Zephaniah 3:13, 1 Timothy 1:5-11, Revelation 22:11-21). They will not act contrary to The Word(Psalm 119:103-108, Romans 16:17-18, Galatians 5:14-26 ). Accordingly to these things, they will not refuse correction; but they will know and embrace discipline; they will know repentance; and so they will know the Renewing of their inner man (Hebrews 12:6-15). They will know humility(Habakkuk 2:4, Proverbs 11:2-3, Proverbs 18:12, Proverbs 22:1-5, Zephaniah 2:1-3, Ephesians 4:1-6, Philippians 2:1-13, Colossians 3:12-17, Titus 3:1-11, James 1:19-27, 1 Peter 3:8-17). GOD Resists the proud, but Gives Grace to the humble; and they will seek, always, that GOD Alone always be found true(Deuteronomy 32:1-4, Job 40:6-14, Psalm 100, Psalm 119:153-160, 2 Corinthians 1:18-22, 1 John 5:20, Romans 3:4). Such as these will learn to know to think so as to have sound judgement; they will be as one with the humble. They will know the fear of The LORD(Psalm 111, Proverbs 9:7-12, Ecclesiastes 12:13-14). They will understand because of The SPIRIT WHO Indwells them, and in this they will be zealous for Good deeds (Titus 2:11-15). They will have a heart for the poor and the needy(Isaiah 58:6-12, Galatians 2:9-10, Romans 15:25-27, 1 John 3:16-19). They will put others before themselves, as of CHRIST(Philippians 2:1-5, 1 Corinthians 10:24, 1 Corinthians 10:31 - 11:1, 2 Corinthians 6:1-10, James 2:8, 1 Corinthians 13). They will have faith to the Preserving of the soul(Hebrews 10:35-39, John 5:21-24). They will know only benevolence towards all others(Luke 6:27-38, Luke 10:26-37). They will be CHRIST like in their living to their knowing to live towards having CHRIST Formed in them(Romans 8:29, Galatians 4:19, Romans 13:8-14, Ephesians 4:17-32, Colossians 1:26-28, Colossians 3:8-10). The Called and The Chosen because they are faithful, who do indeed walk to 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. Not being tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but knowing only to speak The Truth in love, from love, with love towards the growth of The Body Of CHRIST for the Building Up, that is, the edification of Itself in love.Love which is The Perfect bond of Unity (Ephesians 4). These are HIS.These are those who shall be with HIM: the Called and Chosen and faithful; Revelation 17:14. Many are Called, but few are Chosen; and many walk as yet unknowing to themselves that they still live being held captive by the devil to do his will.But it is to examine ourselves in view of JESUS CHRIST and all The Word Of GOD, if we can indeed hear and know to test ourselves, because many read The Word not understanding what it is they are reading and what truly means to be a follower of CHRIST. Many read The Word as though the Blessings contained therein automatically apply to them because they themselves believe and proclaim that they are a Christian. They do this instead of understanding it is The Living Word Of GOD which performs It's Work in those who truly believe; The Word is Speaking to them and is for them to align all they think, believe, accept, understand and so all that they themselves will speak and act in all things is to be CHRIST like; being in accordance with the Apostles teaching; in accordance with all The Word Of GOD. They are to live as being an active part of the process of Sanctification, knowing The Unity Of The SPIRIT in the bond of Peace. Being at "peace" with those you shall be at "peace" with whilst at the same time arguing and maintaining strife and division with them and with others, all the while refusing correction from The Word, does not leave any justified as a Christian and in right standing before The LORD GOD. It means standing as a liar, a hypocrite; however much it is denied and self-justification is stubbornly maintained in living professing The Name, in all actions, words and deeds. Only GOD Is Just And The Justifier Of the one who has faith in JESUS.And JESUS CHRIST Is our only and Perfect Example in all things: thought, word and deed.HE WHO Says,"A New Commandment I Give to you, that you love one another, even as I Have loved you, that you also love one another."By this all men will know that you are MY Disciples, if you have love for one another."John 13:34-35 (2 Corinthians 13:5). "The Secret things belong to The LORD our GOD, but the things Revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all The Words Of This Law. "So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, the Blessing and the Curse which I have Set Before you, and you call to mind in all nations where The LORD your GOD has banished you, and you return to The LORD your GOD and obey HIM with all your heart and soul according to all that I Command you today, you and your sons, then The LORD your GOD will Restore you from captivity, and have Compassion on you, and will Gather you again from all the peoples where The LORD your GOD has scattered you.Deuteronomy 29:29 - 30:3. We are to have salt in ourselves. If what we offer to GOD in our walk as professing disciples of JESUS CHRIST is flavourless to HIM; the salt having lost its savour is that we walk not knowing how to be at peace with one another; the offering of our lives to GOD: our Spiritual service of worship; the presenting of our bodies a living and Holy sacrifice acceptable to GOD is not in truth fully agreeable; is not well-pleasing to HIM.It is not what HIS Word to us Says and means. And so accordingly and undeniably so according to The Word, one who takes The Name, professing The Name in his living and in doing so is presenting themselves as being an example to all others of JESUS CHRIST and of The Grace Of GOD, they are doing so themselves, before both GOD and man, in an unworthy manner.(Colossians 3:12-17). "You shall not take The Name Of The LORD your GOD in vain, for The LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes HIS Name in vain.Exodus 20:7 For GOD has not Called us for the purpose of impurity, but in Sanctification.Consequently, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but The GOD WHO Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT to you.Now as to the love of the Brethren, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are Taught By GOD to love one another...1 Thessalonians 4:7-9 I urge you therefore, Brethren, by The Mercies Of GOD, to present your bodies a living and Holy sacrifice, acceptable to GOD, your Spiritual service of worship.And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the Renewing of your mind, that you may prove what The Will Of GOD is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.Romans 12:1-3 Let your speech always be with Grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person.Colossians 4:6 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty?It is good for nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."Nor do men light a lamp, and put it under a peck measure, but on the lampstand; and it gives light to all who are in the house. "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your Good works, and glorify your FATHER WHO Is In Heaven...Matthew 5:13-16.(Luke 14:25 - 17:10). ..."Every grain offering of yours, moreover, you shall season with salt, so that the salt of The Covenant Of your GOD shall not be lacking from your grain offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt.Leviticus 2:13.In the Old and First Covenant the purpose of a grain offering was to worship GOD and acknowledge HIS Provision (1 Peter 1:13 - 2:8). To us now, as those who partake of The Second and New Covenant, as our being the salt of the earth, all we offer; our words and deeds, shall be with Grace, as it were, seasoned with salt.And the Chosen, because they are faithful, shall know to do this and their living; their words and deeds will show it. These words of Paul; written in The SPIRIT, are addressed to the faithful in CHRIST JESUS and not to any Tom, Dick or Harriet who will justify themselves as being a Christian, yet are in truth being unrecognisable of a Christian in The Light of GOD'S Word and The Witness Of The HOLY SPIRIT: To the Called and Chosen and faithful: Grace to you and peace from GOD our FATHER And The LORD JESUS CHRIST. Blessed be The GOD And FATHER Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO has Blessed us with every Spiritual Blessing in The Heavenly In CHRIST, just as HE Chose us In HIM before The Foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and blameless before HIM, in love. HE Predestined us to Adoption as sons Through JESUS CHRIST to HIMSELF, according to the Kind Intention if HIS Will, to the praise of The Glory Of HIS Grace, which HE Freely Bestowed on us In The BELOVED. In HIM we have Redemption Through HIS Blood, the Forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the Riches Of HIS Grace, which HE Lavished upon us.In all Wisdom and Insight HE made known to us The Mystery of HIS Will, according to HIS Kind Intention which HE Purposed In HIM with a view to an Administration suitable to the fullness of the times, the summing up of all things In CHRIST, things in The Heavens and things upon the earth. In HIM also we have Obtained an Inheritance, having been Predestined according to HIS Purpose WHO Works all things after (according to, toward) The Counsel Of HIS Will, to the end (to the point reached, the purpose) that we who were the first to hope In CHRIST should be to the praise Of HIS Glory. In HIM, you also, after listening to The Message Of Truth, The Gospel Of your Salvation - having also believed (been persuaded of and by), you were Sealed In HIM with The HOLY SPIRIT Of Promise, WHO Is Given as A Pledge (Given as security for fulfilment: Galatians 5:5, & v 16, Psalm 25:4-5, & v 7-10, Isaiah 48:16-18, Romans 8:11-14, Galatians 5:18, & v 22-26) of our Inheritance, with a view to The Redemption Of Possession, to the praise of HIS Glory.Ephesians 1:2-14. 2 Corinthians 13:5, because JESUS CHRIST being Formed in us is according to The SPIRIT; and it is only that if we walk in all our living being Led By The SPIRIT, that we are not under The Law: Galatians 5:13-26.

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear. Perfect love is a complete love, being the work of patience in the one who proves themselves a doer of The Word and not merely a hearer who deludes themselves. ...Love is patient, love is kind, is not jealous; love does not brag, is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with The Truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things Love never fails...1 Corinthians 13:4-8a ...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 1:25. ...to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honour and immortality, Eternal Life...Romans 2:7 ...Live in peace with one another. And we urge you, Brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all men...1 Thessalonians 5:14 ...You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for The Coming of The LORD Is At Hand.Do not complain, Brethren, against one another, that you yourselves may not be Judged; behold, The Judge Is Standing Right At The Door. 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 5:8-11. The Law of Liberty is freedom from the flesh; living as GOD Wills and not as we ourselves will please according to the flesh.Yet sadly many who profess The Name, even blindly, know only to live in not abiding by The Law of Liberty.And contention between Christians is rife, even though it is contrary to The Will and Word Of GOD; being contrary to The SPIRIT. There is no justification in it or for it, no matter how fervent any may be in their own justification in any acts which are according to the flesh.Being not Of The SPIRIT they merely show an immaturity through lack of knowledge and perseverance in Spiritual Truth according to GOD and love In The SPIRIT (Colossians 1:3-23, 2 Timothy 1:7). But according to Scripture, In CHRIST we are all to press on to maturity; growing, living from faith to faith....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. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness and deceitful scheming; but speaking The Truth in love, we are to grow up in all into HIM, WHO Is The Head, CHRIST, from WHOM the whole Body, being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies (1 Corinthians 12), according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the Growth of The Body for the Building Up of itself in love...Ephesians 4:13-16. 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 one 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. Yet despite what Scripture states, today The Church is as a scattered flock, because division and strife are rife; because the flesh and the tares of the enemy prevail; because pride and arrogance is where humility and love without hypocrisy ought to be. (Matthew 13:18-50). But who sees it in that they recognise it to speak out against it?Who sees it so as to reject it, that those who will persist in maintaining disunity for the sake of their own position, religion, beliefs and interpretations may be silenced as an example to all; for all to fear and learn to do what is, before GOD, right and proper? (Titus 3:10-11). Who cares for HIS Church more than they do for themselves; their position, their standing, and how and what they themselves will see as being fit and proper in HIS Church; as they themselves deem to be good and acceptable and perfect, rather than all that is truly according to GOD and contained in HIS Word? (Romans 12:1-3). Those who will cause and maintain disharmony rather than knowing humility that GOD be found true are not being Made Complete in love; and in truth, they, not knowing repentance, are far from it.Believing something of themselves and professing to be wise they show themselves only as fools. ... Concerning HIM we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.For though you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of The Oracles Of GOD, and you have come to need Milk and not Solid Food.For everyone who partakes of Milk is not accustomed to The Word Of Righteousness, for he is a babe.But Solid Food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses Trained to discern good and evil...Hebrews 5:11-14. Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, The Utterances Of GOD; whoever serves, as by The Strength which GOD Supplies; so that in all things GOD may be Glorified Through JESUS CHRIST, to WHOM Belongs The Glory And Dominion forever and ever. Amen. ...1 Peter 4:11.(Isaiah 8:20, Jeremiah 23, Ephesians 4:29, James 1:26, James 3:1-6). And if we cannot speak as Scripture; The GOD Breathed Word Says, then why speak at all; speaking what and how is contrary to to HIM, and consequently standing self-condemned? (1 John 4:1-6). ...I Will Instruct you and Teach you in the way which you should go;I Will Counsel you with MY Eye Upon you.Do not be as as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, otherwise they will not come near to you.Many are the sorrows of the wicked;But he who trusts in The LORD, Lovingkindness shall surround him. Be glad In The LORD and rejoice you Righteous ones and shout for joy all you who are upright in heart. Sing for joy In The LORD, O you Righteous ones; praise is becoming to the upright...Psalm 32:8 - 33:1. The Apostle Paul, by The Grace Of GOD a man Made Complete in love, understanding that the time of his departure from this world was near, wrote,I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept The faith; in the future there is Laid Up for me The Crown Of Righteousness, which The LORD, The Righteous Judge, will Award to me on that Day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved HIS Appearing.2 Timothy 4:7-8. Earlier in his time here on earth, with himself as a follower of CHRIST, and GOD'S people from past time as an example for all in The Church of The New Covenant in HIS Blood to hear so as to recognise and take heed, he writes: ...And I do all things for the sake of The Gospel, that I may become a fellow partaker of It.Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.And everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then to receive a perishable wreath, but we an Imperishable. Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I buffet my body and make it my slave, lest possibly, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified. For I do not want you to be unaware, Brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; and all received baptism into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and all ate the same Spiritual food; and all drank the same Spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a Spiritual Rock which followed them; and The Rock was CHRIST. Nevertheless, with most of them GOD was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness.Now these things happened as examples for us, that we should not crave evil things, as they also craved...1 Corinthians 9:23 - 10:6. Paul writes these things, because just as those of whom he writes, who were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea and all received baptism into Moses, and yet with many GOD was not well-pleased, as a result they fell and died. And it is no different for us today who profess to follow CHRIST, no matter what false teachers will speak of and give false hope to those who blindly remain disobedient to The Way In Truth. In 1 Corinthians 10:6, what is evil means whatever is evil in character.It is directly opposed to whatever is fair, advisable, good in character and to what is beneficial, useful, good in act; hence here, Paul's use of the word which is translated into English as 'evil' denotes what is useless, incapable, bad. It is what is morally or ethically evil of qualities, emotions, passions, deeds, and of what is injurious, destructive, baneful, pernicious. We are not to crave these things; we are not to walk practicing them; we are not to walk according to the flesh.And yet many who will profess The Name blindly do so. ...Love does no wrong to a neighbour; love therefore is the fulfillment of The Law...Romans 13:10. For us to live as loving HIS Appearing when HE Again Comes into the world, means our living as eagerly awaiting JESUS, always looking to HIM and not doing what is contrary to HIM; always and regardless of trials and tribulations; yet even and more so learning through them; rather looking to when our soul is required of us, or, if it is The Will Of GOD that we shall see it in our time, when The FATHER again Sends The First-Born (Romans 8:28-30) into the world (Hebrews 1:6 - 2:3); this time without reference to sin as was HIS Purpose at HIS First Coming (John 1:29), and this time for Salvation to those who, in their living, since that day and throughout time and til That Day, as Christians have assiduously and patiently awaited HIS Appearing; those who, by Grace through faith; in The Power Of GOD, have indeed put away sin. Saved By The Blood Of The LAMB: JESUS CHRIST, The Faithful Witness, The First-Born of the dead, and The Ruler Of the kings of the earth, WHO loves us, and Released us from our sins By HIS Blood. ...but now once at The Consummation of the ages HE has been Manifested to put away sin by The Sacrifice of HIMSELF.And inasmuch as it is Appointed for men to die once and after this Judgement, so CHRIST Also, having been Offered once to bear the sins of many, shall Appear a Second Time for Salvation without sin, to those who eagerly await HIM...Hebrews 9:26b-28. To be assiduously walking, which here means our eagerly awaiting HIM in our time here on earth, is our living with careful and consistent effort; diligently mindful of all our actions, words and deeds; being diligent to preserve The Unity Of The SPIRIT in The Bond of Peace in our looking to JESUS, The Author And Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-3), keeping ourselves in The Love Of GOD, looking for The Mercy Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST towards Eternal Life (Jude: 20-23); our living with our looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of The Day Of GOD (2 Peter 3:8-18). The one whose living conflicts with The Authority Of JESUS, regardless even of any position held in The Church or of any title he himself lays claim to and as he himself may see it, he is not living as the Apostles of our LORD JESUS CHRIST we read of and from in The Scriptures lived and instructed, according to their LORD, and so being their MASTER, for all to follow their example also (1 Peter 5:1-11). Sin is not laid to one's charge where there is no Law (Romans 5:13).And In CHRIST, all are Made alive because of The SPIRIT WHO Indwells the believer (Romans 8:10-11).If we walk according to the flesh, continuing to practice the deeds of the flesh, then we shall be Judged by The Law (Romans 2:11-13).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.Romans 8:9....But if you are Led By The SPIRIT you are not under The Law.Galatians 5:18. Grace is for the overcoming of sin.Grace is not Given so that one can remain in sin (Romans 6). Those who, though they profess The Name and yet live constantly practicing the deeds of the flesh, do not live with The Law being Written on their hearts and so establishing The Law in their living, as is The Will and Purpose Of GOD In HIS SON, according to Prophecy (Jeremiah 31:33-34 & Isaiah 61). And being apart from HIS Workmanship it is not being manifested that they are indeed a letter Of CHRIST, known and read by all men, ... 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 adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming 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.2 Corinthians 3:3b-6. Do we then nullify The Law through faith?May it never be!On the contrary, we establish The Law.Romans 3:31. Love having been Perfected is shown, not in any self-declaration of being a Christian, as is and may be the manner of some, but is and is borne out in our keeping The faith; which as a result is borne out in our bringing forth fruit in keeping with repentance, being a life now lived according to CHRIST (1 John 2:3-7). And we shall know them by their fruits, because as The LORD HIMSELF Says, a good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce Good fruit (Matthew 7:13-27). As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man.Proverbs 27:19. The sons of disobedience, being those whose manner is to still be living according to the flesh and contrary to The Word Of GOD; and in doing so maintaining lawlessness, are not the good tree bearing Good fruit as this, in their current state in being apart from repentance, is impossible. Just because anyone may himself be professing The Name, self-professing his love for GOD and his desiring for that Great and Terrible Day, it does not mean that he himself is in right standing with GOD and letting justice roll down like waters and Righteousness as an ever-flowing stream.And examples of disobedience and its consequence are given to us throughout Scripture (Amos 5:18-24). There are many who live and will themselves proclaim that they are followers of GOD, and yet in their blindness they hate reproof and will abhor one who speaks with integrity. They will hate and reject correction. In truth, these are being no different in spirit to the example of the scribes and Pharisees of the time of The LORD'S First Coming, who lived questioning and rejecting The Authority of JESUS. And much in the same way, to these the question which The LORD JESUS Asked the scribes and the Pharisees may rightly be asked them: "Was the baptism of John from Heaven, or from men? Answer ME" Mark 11:30. John preached a message of repentance, saying,"Repent, for The Kingdom Of Heaven is at hand." Matthew 3:2.And,"Therefore bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance, and do not begin to 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 also 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."Luke 3:8-9. It is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham (Galatians 3:6-9), and a Saving faith brings forth fruit in keeping with repentance.It does not maintain the flesh but dies to the deeds of the flesh so as to being able to live to Righteousness; abiding under The The Rule Of GOD (Luke 19:12-27). Whether referred to in Scripture as The Kingdom Of Heaven or The Kingdom Of GOD, the message and the purpose is the same in that it is now for our living to be under The Rule Of GOD; living in obedience to The MASTER and in doing so we shall also be in subjection to one another, being clothed with humility; being filled with The HOLY SPIRIT. ... always giving thanks for all things in The Name Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST to GOD, even The FATHER; and be subject to one another in the fear of CHRIST.Ephesians 5:21. And to see what The Holy Scriptures speak of John, for us all to take heed of, in that we fully understand; in that we live to fulfill The Word of HIS Grace, through faith, so that we too in our walk become strong, and stronger in spirit to the praise and Glory Of GOD: ...And his father Zacharias was filled with The HOLY SPIRIT and Prophesied, saying:"Blessed The LORD GOD Of Israel, for HE has Visited us and 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 towards our fathers and to Remember HIS Holy Covenant, The Oath which HE Swore to Abraham our father,To Grant that we, being Delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve HIM without fear,In Holiness and Righteousness before HIM all our days. And you, child, will be called the Prophet of The MOST HIGH;For you will go on before The LORD to prepare HIS Ways;To give HIS people knowledge of Salvation by the Forgiveness of their sins,Because of The Tender Mercy Of our GOD,With which The SUNRISE From On High shall visit us,To Shine Upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,To Guide our feet into The Way of Peace." And the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit, and he lived in the deserts until the day of his public appearance to Israel.Luke 1:67-80. John made clear and plain that he had come to preach a baptism of repentance, to prepare the way for The Coming of GOD'S MESSIAH; and we too, today, must take heed of what this means, and examine ourselves to see if we too know Godly repentance in our living; to see if JESUS CHRIST is in us.Because these are the last days. HE Is Standing Right At The Door. Luke 1:74-75, that we may indeed live to minister to GOD and serve HIM, without fear, in Holiness and Righteousness before HIM all the days of our lives, is the Calling and obligation of everyone who calls on The Name Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST in Truth. Of this, Scripture is both clear and is clear on what, according to GOD, this means.But not all who profess HIS Name can hear. When The LORD GOD Says such as,"And I Will Cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against ME, and I Will Pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against ME, and by which they have transgressed against ME." Jeremiah 33:8, what many fail to recognise and to understand is that The LORD GOD is not speaking only that HE will do these things for us, but in HIS Grace and Mercy HE Works this also in us.That in this, in fulfilling HIS Word to us, HE Shall Remove these things from being in our heart so that we will do them no more. ..."For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there without watering the earth, and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;So shall MY Word be which Goes Forth from MY Mouth;It shall not return to ME empty, without Accomplishing what I Desire, and without succeeding for which I Sent It...Isaiah 55 (v10-11). Those who believe in and will boast of themselves, those who will commend themselves, must take heed so to understand (2 Corinthians 10-17-18). "I Praise THEE, O FATHER, LORD Of Heaven and earth, that THOU Didst Hide these things from wise and intelligent and didst Reveal them to babes."Yes, FATHER, for thus it was Well-Pleasing In THY Sight."All things have been Handed Over to ME By MY FATHER; and no one knows The SON, except The FATHER; nor does anyone know The FATHER, except The SON, and anyone to whom The SON Wills to Reveal. "Come to ME, all who are weary and heavy-laden and I Will Give you Rest."Take MY Yoke upon you, and learn from ME, for I AM Gentle and Humble In Heart; and you shall find Rest for your souls."For MY Yoke is easy, and MY Load is light."Matthew 11:25-30. This, to those that will truly believe in HIS Name, is what means Salvation through Sanctification By The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth (2 Thessalonians 2:13 - 3:5). As Paul also writes to the faithful,And for this reason we also constantly thank GOD that when you received from us The Word Of GOD'S Message, you accepted not the word of men, but what it really is, The Word Of GOD, which also Performs Its Work in you who believe.For you, Brethren, became imitators of The Churches Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS that are in Judea...1 Thessalonians 2:13-14a. This is what means of our being Cleansed and Pardoned of all our iniquities by which we have transgressed against HIM, and why Paul writes such as,What shall we say then?Are we to continue in sin that Grace might increase?May it never be!How shall we who died to sin still live in it?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 6:1-4. It is not meaning, as many in their ignorance to The Truth clearly live believing, and it is clear because they bear witness that they blindly remain on in the flesh and live practicing the deeds of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), being the antithesis of agape; not understanding that it is by HIS Grace through faith we are Forgiven, and what this means in how we shall then conduct ourselves in this world. And so some blindly remain on in the flesh upholding the deeds of the flesh; adversaries to the children Of GOD, who will, because of the flesh, maintain division and strife; and making themselves enemies of the cross Of CHRIST. For HE HIMSELF Is our Peace. ...Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and greed, which amounts to idolatry.For it is on account of these things that The Wrath Of GOD Will Come Upon the sons of disobedience. And in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its practices, and have put on the New self who is being Renewed to a True Knowledge according to The Image Of The ONE WHO Created him - in which there is no Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free man, but CHRIST Is All, and In all. 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 3:5-15. All the deeds of the flesh are sin before A Holy And Righteous GOD. To live to keep The Foremost Commandment, and by which in keeping It we may then keep the second which is like it, we live that HIS Word be fulfilled in us; or rather, that we live by faith in HIS SON so that By HIS SPIRIT, GOD Fulfills HIS Word in us: in those who live in this world truly by HIS Reigning Over them; and thus their being Made alive from the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also In CHRIST all shall be Made alive.But each in his own order: CHRIST The First Fruits, after that those who are CHRIST'S at HIS Coming, then comes The End, when HE Delivers Up The Kingdom to The GOD And FATHER, when HE has Abolished all rule and all authority and power.For HE must Reign until HE has put all HIS enemies under HIS Feet.The last enemy that will be abolished is death...1 Corinthians 15:22-26. These are they who have lived for GOD to have Put HIS Law within them and on their heart for HIM to Write It; and so it is that HE shall be our GOD, and we shall be HIS people (Jeremiah 31:33-34), rather than we ourselves merely professing to be HIS. And it is a constant all the days of our lives, growing to maturity living from faith and towards faith.And for those who are HIS Saints; the Called and Chosen Of GOD, it shall be because CHRIST is in their hearts through faith, and they accordingly bear witness to The Truth. ...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, knowing that your toil is not vain In The LORD.1 Corinthians 15:53-58. Those who are HIS shall continually have on their hearts these words of David, and knowing to their showing, that with this knowledge comes humility.Be Gracious to me, O GOD, according to THY Lovingkindness; According to The Greatness of THY Compassion blot out my transgressions.Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and Cleanse me from my sin...Psalm 51:1-2 (Isaiah 4:2, Isaiah 8:20). This is why and how JESUS Is The LORD our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:5-6, Jeremiah 33:14-18); For GOD, because of HIS Great Grace And Mercy, will subdue our iniquities. LORD, THOU Wilt Establish peace for us, since THOU hast also Performed for us all our works.Isaiah 26:12. Who is A GOD like THEE, WHO Pardons iniquity and Passes Over the rebellious act of the remnant of HIS Possession?HE does not retain HIS Anger forever, because HE Delights in unchanging love. HE will again have Compassion on us; HE will Tread our iniquities under foot.Yes, THOU Wilt Cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.THOU Wilt Give Truth to Jacob, unchanging love to Abraham, which THOU Didst Swear to our forefathers from the days of old.Micah 7:18-20. ...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. ...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 5:3-5. But The Goal of our Instruction is love from a pure (Cleansed) heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith...1 Timothy 1:5. Such as these will not argue against all Sound Doctrine.Such as these hear The Truth Of GOD.Such as these have endured and will endure discipline, for GOD Deals with HIS Own as 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 rather 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. Those who love THY Law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble.Psalm 119:165 The fruit Of The SPIRIT: Love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no Law. The one who abides in love abides in GOD, and GOD Abides in him. ...By this, love is Perfected with us, that we may have confidence in The Day Of Judgement; because as HE Is, so also are we in this world...1 John 4:17. ..."Therefore you are to be perfect, as your Heavenly FATHER Is Perfect." Matthew 5:48.We are to be as One with GOD (John 17). Paul writes,I urge you therefore, Brethren, by The Mercies Of GOD, to present your bodies a living and Holy sacrifice, acceptable to GOD, your Spiritual service of worship.And do not be conformed to this world, but be Transformed by the Renewing of your mind, that you may prove what The Will Of GOD Is, that which is Good and acceptable and Perfect.For through The Grace Given to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgement, as GOD has alloted to each a Measure of faith...Romans 12:1-3. And, Blessed The GOD And FATHER Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO has Blessed us with every Spiritual Blessing in The Heavenly In CHRIST, just as HE Chose us In HIM before The Foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and blameless before HIM in love. HE Predestined us to Adoption as sons Through JESUS CHRIST to HIMSELF, according to The Kind Intention of HIS Will, to the Praise Of The Glory of HIS Grace, which HE Freely Bestowed on us In The BELOVED...Ephesians 1:3-6. ...For we are HIS Workmanship, Created In CHRIST JESUS for Good works, which GOD Prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them...Ephesians 2:10. Paul also emphasizes and in himself as the example of how we are to see ourselves, in his letter to The Church in Phillipi, of which and in The Foreknowledge Of GOD it is every bit for our understanding also (Philippians 3:3-17). We do this by, and as Paul tells us, through our being Taught of GOD just as Truth is In JESUS, and not by our living as we only knew to do before we came to CHRIST; if we have indeed heard and have been taught In HIM just as Truth Is In JESUS, and being Renewed in the spirit of our mind through our putting on the New man which according to GOD is Created in and by Righteousness and Holiness of The Truth (Ephesians 4:21-24). But if we live not truly abiding In HIM and HE in us, then we, through our own trespassing in our living according to the flesh (however that might be), are stained and are being in need, By HIS Blood, of cleansing by the confessing of our sins through Godly repentance (Hebrews 10:26-39): The sacrifices of GOD are a broken spirit;A broken and contrite heart, O GOD, THOU wilt not Despise.Psalm 51:17. ...If we confess our sins, HE Is Faithful And Righteous to Forgive us our sins and to Cleanse us from all unrighteousness.If we say that we have not sinned, we make HIM a liar, and HIS Word is not in us...1 John 1:9-10. We cannot abide in sin that Grace might increase (Romans chapters 6 to 8), because Grace is not for those who remain wilfully sinning and being without a Saving faith; not knowing obedience of faith.The Administration Of GOD is by faith. But The Goal of our Instruction is love from a Pure (Cleansed) heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.For some men, straying from these things have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of The Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions...1 Timothy 1:5-7. The Law is not made for a Righteous man. "If you love ME, you will keep MY Commandments."John 14:15. ...There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love...1 John 4:18. ...But I say, walk By The SPIRIT and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.For the flesh sets its desire against The SPIRIT, and The SPIRIT against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.But if you are Led By The SPIRIT, you are not under The Law...Galatians 5:17-18. It is why our LORD JESUS, WHO loves HIS Own who are in the world, Says to them;..."You are already Clean because of The Word which I have Spoken to you."Abide In ME, and I In you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in The Vine, so neither can you, unless you abide In ME... John 15:3-4. And every one of us, and each one to each other, are to look out for one another according to GOD; to wash one another's feet.We are never to refuse this.If we do refuse this then truly we have no part with HIM (John 13:1-20). Pride and arrogance will cause this separation to be, just as pride and arrogance shall always maintain it.And its way is to death, no matter who will refuse that its way is to death. Those who do not know to do this, and who rather know only to serve up judgement and condemnation upon others, believing of themselves how a child Of GOD in Truth ought not to think of themselves and towards all others (we are to do good to all men), and in it all not having the understanding that we are to not think more highly of ourselves than we ought to think, are those who, though they profess to see, they are truly walking in darkness; their eyes being blinded by the darkness, their hearts hardened, their necks stiffened, who do not know repentance. The Judgement Of GOD shall rightly fall upon such as these (Romans 1:28 - 2:16). But to the humble, to those who hear The Words Of their LORD And SAVIOUR (Matthew chapters 5 to 7); who have the love Of GOD in themselves, Peace and Mercy upon them. ...Let THY Hand Be Ready to Help me, for I have chosen THY Precepts.I long for THY Salvation, O LORD, and THY Law is my delight.Let my soul live that I may praise THEE, and Let THINE Ordinances Help me.I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek THY servant, for I do not forget THY Commandments. In my trouble I cried to The LORD, and HE Answered me.Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.What shall be Given to you, and what more shall be Done to you, you deceitful tongue?...Psalm 119:173 - Psalm 120:3. As Paul says of himself, (Philippians 3), that he is the example to all who shall call on The Name Of The LORD and for us to follow his example; that we do indeed press on in order that we may lay hold of that for which also we were laid hold of By CHRIST JESUS. For though The LORD Is Exalted, yet HE Regards the lowly;But the haughty HE Knows from afar. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, THOU Wilt Revive me;THOU Wilt Stretch Forth THY Hand against the wrath of my enemies, and THY Right Hand will Save me. The LORD Will Accomplish what concerns me;THY Lovingkindness, O LORD, Is Everlasting;Do not forsake The Works of THY Hands.Psalm 138-6-8. ...But the path of the Righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day.The way if the wicked is like darkness;They do not know over what they stumble.Proverbs 4:18-19. ...For we know in part and we Prophesy in part; but when The Perfect Comes, the partial will be done away...1 Corinthians 13:9-10. THY people will volunteer freely in The Day Of THY Power;In Holy array, from The Womb of The Dawn, THY youth are to THEE as the dew.Psalm 110:3. ...The SPIRIT HIMSELF Bears Witness with our spirit that we are children Of GOD...Romans 8:16. Now may The GOD Of Hope fill you with all joy in believing, that you may abound in Hope By The Power Of The HOLY SPIRIT.Romans 15:13. ...For we are The Temple Of The Living GOD; just as GOD Said,"I Will Dwell In them and Walk among them;And I Will Be their GOD, and they shall be MY people. "Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate," Says The LORD."And do not touch what is unclean;And I Will Welcome you."And I Will Be A FATHER to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to ME," Says The LORD ALMIGHTY. Therefore, having these Promises, Beloved, let us Cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting Holiness in the fear of GOD.2 Corinthians 6:16 - 7:1. ... Whoever confesses that JESUS Is The SON Of GOD, GOD Abides In him, and he In GOD.And we have come to know and have believed The Love which GOD has for us.GOD Is Love, and the one who abides in love abides In GOD, and GOD Abides In him.By this, love is Perfected with us, that we may have confidence in The Day Of Judgement; because as HE Is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not Perfected in love. We love, because HE first Loved us.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. And this Commandment we have from HIM, that the one who loves GOD should love his Brother also.1 John 4:15-21.

Forgiveness: Aphiemi. ..."Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed." John 20:28. "All the sinners of MY people will die by the sword, those who say, 'The calamity will not overtake us or confront us.'Amos 9:10. "For behold, The Day Is Coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and The Day that is coming will set them ablaze," Says The LORD Of Hosts, "so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.""But for you who fear (revere) MY Name the sun of Righteousness will rise with Healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall."And you will tread down the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on The Day which I AM Preparing," Says The LORD Of Hosts...Malachi 4:1-3. ..."The SON Of Man will send forth HIS angels, and they will gather out of HIS Kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will cast them into The Furnace of Fire; in that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."Then the Righteous will shine forth as the sun in The Kingdom Of their FATHER.He who has ears, let him hear.Matthew 13:41-43. How does Forgiveness concern you in your living?And, as being under Grace that we cannot remain in sin, do you truly understand what fully means, Redemption Through HIS Blood, the Forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the Riches Of HIS Grace..? (Ephesians 1:7) Do you, as a Christian, live truly believing in HIS Name; being of those who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but Of GOD? (John 1:12-13). ...Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in Righteousness?...Romans 6:16. And in how you now live as a Christian, (and by your living it means being a constant til the day your soul is required of you, or when The LORD Returns; whichever, for you, happens soonest), will it have proved as only Paresis: Judgement merely deferred, or, in your living by a Saving faith in JESUS CHRIST to indeed receiving Aphiemi: the sending away; Forgiveness of all your trespasses, and by The Grace Of GOD Through The HOLY SPIRIT, Eternal Life? ...But thanks be to GOD that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been Freed from sin, you became slaves of Righteousness...Romans 6:17-18. There is a clear difference between Paresis and Aphiemi written in Scripture and both being in relation to sin, which many neither understand nor acknowledge in either their living or by the teachings they will accept as Christians whilst walking in their time here on the earth.But is your living, as a Christian, truly according to GOD that you Receive Forgiveness? ...for all have sinned and fall short of The Glory Of GOD, being Justified as A Gift By HIS Grace Through The Redemption which is In CHRIST JESUS; WHOM GOD Displayed publicly as A Propitiation In HIS Blood through faith, to Demonstrate HIS Righteousness, because in The Forebearance 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, HE Passed Over the sins previously committed, is the word, Paresis.It does not mean here in Romans 3:25 that sins are forever Forgiven and Forgotten by GOD, but it speaks of a suspension of the Just and Righteous penalty for sin. The kjv translation has 'paresis' in Romans 3:25 translated as 'remission,' but, 'passed over' is preferred, because paresis is not a matter of Divine disregard of sin, but of forbearance, while Aphesis (Mark 3:29, Colossians 1:14) a matter of Grace. In the context of what is written here by Paul, In The SPIRIT, there is certainly condition; an obligation so that any one of us may indeed have Reckoned to them, The Righteousness Of GOD Through faith in JESUS CHRIST for all those who believe. Romans 3:22. The obligation is obedience of faith, and faith according to GOD, whereby we live putting to death the deeds of the body By The HOLY SPIRIT (Romans 8:12-17). GOD Passes Over our sins previously committed.In CHRIST JESUS, WHOM GOD Displayed publicly as A Propitiation In HIS Blood through faith, for the Demonstration of HIS Righteousness and, at this now present time, so that now, in us; in this New Creation we become, through our being born again, just as HE HIMSELF Purposed for us In The BELOVED (Romans 8:28-30). This, so that through our Re-birth, we live now just as HE has Committed to us The Word of Reconciliation, through which HE Shows HIMSELF, and not we ourselves, to be Just and The Justifier; through our Saving faith in JESUS. ... The SPIRIT HIMSELF Bears Witness with our spirit that we are children Of GOD...Romans 8:16. This is HIS Work in us, not our works.And we Receive The Promise of The SPIRIT through faith (Galatians 3:14 & v22). 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. Do not be deceived, my Beloved Brethren.Every good thing Bestowed and every Perfect Gift is from Above, Coming Down from The FATHER Of Lights, with WHOM there is no variation or shifting shadow.In the exercise Of HIS Will HE Brought us forth by The Word Of Truth, so that we might be, as it were, the first fruits of HIS Creatures...James 1:16-18 And it is why Paul writes such as,Do we then nullify The Law through faith?May it never be!On the contrary, we establish The Law.Romans 3:31. That we now, in our living in the New Covenant in HIS Blood Through our faith in JESUS may cause The Law to stand, and being the fruit Of Righteousness by our faith in JESUS (Philippians 1:9-11, Hebrews 12:6-14), is why GOD Through HIS Prophet Jeremiah stated of the Covenant to come which was and is fulfilled in MESSIAH JESUS, "But this is the Covenant which I Will Make with the House of Israel after those days," Declares The LORD,"I Will put MY Law within them, and on their heart I Will Write It; and I Will be their GOD, and they shall be MY people."And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbour and each man his Brother, saying,'Know The LORD,'for they shall all know ME, from the least of them to the greatest of them," Declares The LORD, "for I Will Forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."Jeremiah 31:33-34. It is both through JESUS CHRIST that Forgiveness is preached and in our living by faith in JESUS CHRIST, WHO Releases us from our sins By HIS Blood; wherein Forgiveness is received.Because without the shedding of blood there is no Forgiveness (Leviticus 17:11, Hebrews 9:22); and JESUS CHRIST Alone Is The Sacrifice for sin Once for all (John 3:14-16). And it is through faith By HIS Grace HE Gives The HOLY SPIRIT to those who obey HIM (Acts 5:32), WHO Indwells the believer, that we may now fully obey JESUS CHRIST and be Sprinkled With HIS Blood; and thus we are the Chosen Of GOD (1 Peter 1:2). May Grace and Peace be yours in Fullest Measure. Aphesis: Pardon, Deliverance, Forgiveness; Liberty, Remission. "Therefore let it be known to you, Brethren, that Through HIM Forgiveness (Aphesis) of sins is proclaimed to you, and Through HIM everyone who believes is Freed from (shown, exhibited as Righteous in) all things, from which you could not be freed through The Law of Moses. "Take heed therefore, so that the things spoken of in the Prophets may not come upon you:"Behold, you scoffers, and marvel, and perish;For I AM Accomplishing a Work in your days, a Work which you will never believe, though someone should describe it to you.' "Acts 13:38-41. ...The LORD was Pleased for HIS Righteousness Sake to make The Law Great and Glorious.Isaiah 42:21. ..."Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, GOD is now Declaring to men that all everywhere should repent, because HE has fixed A Day in which HE will Judge the world in Righteousness Through A Man WHOM HE has Appointed, having furnished proof to all men by Raising HIM from the dead...Acts 17:30-31. Having overlooked the times of ignorance, GOD now Declares to all everywhere that they should repent.Here, repentance (true repentance; 2 Corinthians 7:9-11) means to think differently; and as we now, In CHRIST, begin to see and to hear how we did not and could not before (1 Corinthians 1:30-31 & 2:9-16), we now are to know to reconsider so as to turn from darkness to Light and from the dominion of satan to GOD, in order that we may Receive Forgiveness of sins; being the dismissal of and our release from sin: Aphiemi in The Name Of JESUS. ...But now having been Freed from sin and enslaved to GOD, you derive your benefit, resulting in Sanctification, and the outcome, Eternal Life.For the wages of sin is death, but the free Gift Of GOD is Eternal Life In CHRIST JESUS our LORD...Romans 6:22-23. ..."Thus It Is Written, that The CHRIST should suffer and Rise again from the dead the Third Day; and that repentance for Forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in HIS Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem...Luke 24:46-47. "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been Forgiven (Aphiemi) and whose sins have been Covered."Blessed is the man whose sin The LORD will not take into account."Romans 4:7-8. What shall we say then?Are we to continue in sin that Grace might increase?May it never be!How shall we who died to sin still live in it?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 Baptised 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 6:1-4. And HE Said to them,"Go into all the world and preach The Gospel to all creation."He who has believed and has been Baptised shall be Saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned...Mark 16:15-16. There are many who believe that they are forgiven regardless of how they now walk even though they stand on The Name Christian, and cannot recognise that they are walking contrary to GOD, because they do not understand either The Scriptures or how, along the way, to examine themselves to see if JESUS CHRIST is in them. "Every plant which MY Heavenly FATHER did not plant shall be Rooted Up...Matthew 15:13 This Forgiveness: this Grace Of GOD being reflected in us and radiating from us, in our words and deeds, now and more and more as we grow in The Grace and Knowledge Of GOD and Of JESUS our LORD; being as Of CHRIST, as in a mirror; our thoughts, words and actions being according to The Gospel and Word Of GOD, as we sojourn now in HIS Name in our time in this world. "And I Say to you, everyone who confesses ME before men, The SON Of Man shall Confess him before the angels Of GOD; but he who denies ME before men shall be Denied before the angels Of GOD."And everyone who will speak a word against The SON Of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against The HOLY SPIRIT, it shall not be forgiven him.Luke 12:8-10. ...Therefore, since CHRIST has Suffered (death) in the Flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered (death) in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for The Will Of GOD (Romans 6:5-7).1 Peter 4:1-2. In this belief and being a belief of many, which is a great deception, they will cling to any of the false teachings which will accommodate them in their own beliefs, being no more than their own choosing; being myths which cannot save and which the following of will not save any; because in following them they have made GOD a liar, having not believed in The Witness GOD Has Borne concerning HIS SON. In their own insistence of clinging to these and their seeking teachers in accordance with their own desires; which will allow them to live as they themselves choose and as they themselves see fit, as opposed to their clinging to GOD and their showing that they have indeed been Baptised Into HIS Death; meaning that we have suffered death in the flesh and just as Paul describes what Baptism, according to GOD, is and means in Romans chapter 6, it is by choice that they will make themselves an adversary through heresy being upheld and stubbornly maintained.In it all they live forsaking The Fountain Of Living Water, even The LORD. ...For CHRIST also died for sins Once for all, The Just for the unjust, in order that HE might bring us to GOD, (we) having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the (our) spirit; in which also HE went and made Proclamation to the spirits in prison, who once we're disobedient, when the Patience Of GOD kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were Brought Safely through water. And corresponding to that, Baptism now Saves you - not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to GOD for a Good conscience - through The Resurrection Of JESUS CHRIST (Romans 6:1-7), WHO Is at The Right Hand Of GOD, having gone into Heaven, after angels and authorities and Powers had been subjected to HIM. Therefore, since CHRIST has Suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for The Will Of GOD...1 Peter 3:18 - 4:2. For you are all sons Of GOD through faith in CHRIST JESUS.For all of you who were Baptised Into CHRIST have Clothed yourselves with CHRIST.Galatians 3:26-27. Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled The Law.For this,"You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and if there is any other Commandment, it is summed up in this saying,"You shall love your neighbour as yourself."Love does no wrong to a neighbour; love therefore is the fulfillment of The Law. And this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now Salvation is nearer than when we believed.The night is almost gone, and the day is at hand.Let us therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of Light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.But put on The LORD JESUS CHRIST, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to lusts.Romans 13:8-14(Ephesians 4, Colossians 3). For if we go on sinning wilfully after receiving The Knowledge Of The Truth, there no longer remains a Sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of Judgement and The Fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside The Law of Moses dies without mercy on two or three witnesses.How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot The SON Of GOD and has regarded as unclean The Blood Of The Covenant by which he was Sanctified, and has insulted The SPIRIT Of Grace? (Romans 3:31, Galatians 5:5) For we know HIM WHO Said,"Vengeance Is MINE, I Will Repay."And again,"The LORD Will Judge HIS people." It is a terrifying thing to fall into The Hands Of The Living GOD.Hebrews 10:26-31. ...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 (JESUS), just as from The LORD, (Through and By) 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 Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in The Sight Of GOD...2 Corinthians 3:17 - 4:2. In our living now in freedom from the flesh; in our living now as being born Of GOD and accordingly living under The Rule Of GOD as we did not and could not have known before, and our openly reflecting our being Transformed into the same Image from glory to Glory; that being JESUS CHRIST; which of course means in all our thoughts, words and deeds; through HIS SPIRIT WHO Indwells us (Romans 8:9-11), we live not adulterating The Word Of GOD, but by Manifestation of Truth we show, to prove, to exhibit ourselves in all things and to all men's moral consciences according to CHRIST in The Sight Of GOD.And this, it is The Will Of GOD, even to our enemies. For such is The Will Of GOD that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.As Free men (free from the flesh), and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but as bondslaves Of GOD.Honour all men; love the Brotherhood, fear GOD, honour the king. Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable.For this finds favour, if for the sake of conscience toward GOD a man bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly. For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience?But if when you do what is right and suffer you patiently endure it, this finds favour with GOD. For you have been Called for this purpose, since CHRIST also suffered for you, leaving you an Example for you to follow in HIS Steps, WHO committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in HIS Mouth; and while being reviled, HE did not revile in return; while suffering, HE uttered no threats, but kept entrusting to HIM WHO Judges Righteously; and HE HIMSELF Bore our sins in HIS Body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to Righteousness; for By HIS Wounds you were Healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to The SHEPHERD And GUARDIAN Of your souls...1 Peter 2:16-25 But have we, in that all The Will Of GOD is truly being reflected in all our living?Because this is the manner of those who do indeed take up their own cross daily (Matthew 10:37-42, Mark 8:34-37, Luke 14:26-35).This is the manner of those who have been 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 2:11-12. Not all have faith.There are those who profess The Name and yet walk devoid of The SPIRIT.They are many, who are as yet still in need of repentance, though they will deny the fact because they cannot see to understand that in the believer GOD Shines in our hearts to give the Light Of The Knowledge of The Glory Of GOD in The Face Of CHRIST. Hypocrisy in words and actions cannot do this. They openly show their lacking humility. Though in this too they are blind, because the darkness has blinded their eyes and their hearts are darkened, being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin; because the flesh prevails. ..."When The HELPER Comes, WHOM I Will Send to you from The FATHER, The SPIRIT Of Truth, WHO Proceeds from The FATHER, HE Will Bear Witness of ME, and you will bear witness also, because you have been with ME from the beginning."These things I have Spoken to you, that you may be kept from stumbling...John 15:26 - 16:1. In our living; abiding In CHRIST, we are to determine, with all that we are, that The Word Of The LORD has the exertion of all our efforts to be propagated, and nothing of what raises itself against The Knowledge Of GOD is allowed to remain in HIS Body; that is, HIS Church.And this is for the sole purpose that The LORD may direct all hearts into the love Of GOD and into the steadfastness Of CHRIST (2 Thessalonians 2:13 - 3:5). There is no Forgiveness (Aphiemi) of sins when determining to live apart from possessing such a spirit and not being Led By The SPIRIT WHO Is from GOD. ...For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but Divinely Powerful for the destruction of fortresses, destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against The Knowledge Of GOD, and taking every thought captive to the obedience Of CHRIST...2 Corinthians 10:3-5. ... 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; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD (Hebrews 11:6). 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...Romans 8:6-10. Our body is dead because of sin yet our spirit is alive because of Righteousness; only when we live as dying to sin and in our suffering death in the flesh so as to have ceased from sin; because of CHRIST In us, The Hope Of Glory. ...If then you have been Raised Up with CHRIST, keep seeking the things Above, where CHRIST Is, Seated at The Right Hand Of GOD.Set your mind on the things Above, not on the things that are on earth.For you have died and your life is Hidden with CHRIST In GOD.When CHRIST, WHO Is our life, is Revealed, then you also will be Revealed with HIM In Glory...Colossians 3:1-4. To this end also we pray for you always that our GOD may count you worthy of your Calling, and Fulfill every desire for goodness and The Work of faith with Power; in order that The Name Of our LORD JESUS may be Glorified in you, and you In HIM, according to The Grace Of our GOD And The LORD JESUS CHRIST.2 Thessalonians 1:11-12. Our Salvation, which we walk towards (it is not already accomplished as is the belief and teaching of some, who do not understand The Sacred Writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to Salvation through faith in CHRIST JESUS: Romans 1:16-17, Romans 13:10-11, Philippians 2:12-16, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, Hebrews 9:27-28, 1 Peter 2:1-3) is not what we have worked; it is what GOD Has Worked in us, Through HIS SPIRIT by our faith in CHRIST JESUS The LORD; believing all HIS Words (John 12:44-50) which faith also, in and of itself, is not of ourselves. We have not already been Delivered (spoken of in past tense) but walk abiding In JESUS, WHO Delivers us (present participle) from The Wrath to come. In understanding correctly in the matter some translations do not help and will, in the odd verse, give false teachings and beliefs a foundation for their doctrine, such as the kjv in 1 Thessalonians 1:10, where it translates,And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. This, which delivered us from the wrath to come, is not correct (in the original Greek manuscripts the tense is not past). This translation of this verse, such as here from the 1977 nasb, is to be accepted as correct,...and to wait for HIS SON from Heaven, WHOM HE Raised from the dead, JESUS, WHO Delivers us from The Wrath to come. (present participle). We walk now entering into Eternity as a constant throughout all our days, enduring to the end (Matthew 24:9-13) that we may escape The Wrath and Revelation Of The Righteous Judgement Of GOD, ...WHO Will Render to every man according to his deeds: to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honour and immortality, Eternal Life;but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey The Truth, but obey unrighteousness, Wrath and Indignation. Tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also to the Greek.For there is no partiality with GOD...Romans 2:6-11. ...For you have been Called for this purpose, since CHRIST also suffered for you, leaving you an Example for you to follow in HIS Steps,...1 Peter 2:21. ...And having been Made Perfect, HE Became to all those who obey HIM The Source of Eternal Salvation...Hebrews 5:9. Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will Receive The Crown of Life, which The LORD has Promised to those who love HIM (John 14:15-17).James 1:12. For by Grace you have been Saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, The Gift Of GOD; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.For we are HIS Workmanship, Created In CHRIST JESUS for Good Works, which GOD Prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.Therefore remember, that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "Uncircumcision" by the so-called "Circumcision," performed in the flesh by human hands - that you were at that time separate from CHRIST, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the Covenants of Promise, having no hope and without GOD in the world.But now In CHRIST JESUS you who formerly were far off have been brought near by The Blood Of CHRIST.For HE HIMSELF Is our Peace, who made both One and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, abolishing In HIS Flesh the enmity, The Law Of Commandments in Ordinances, that In HIMSELF HE might make the two into one New man, establishing Peace, and might reconcile them both in One Body to GOD Through the cross, by it (the cross) having put to death the enmity. And HE Came and Preached Peace to you who were far away and Peace to those who were near; for Through HIM we both have our access In ONE SPIRIT to The FATHER. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the Saints and are Of GOD'S Household, having been Built upon The Foundation (1 Corinthians 3:8-11) of the Apostles and Prophets, CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF Being The Corner Stone, In WHOM the whole Building, being fitted together is growing into a Holy Temple In The LORD; In WHOM you also are being Built together into a Dwelling Of GOD In The SPIRIT (1 Peter 2:4-10).Ephesians 2:8-22. As HIS Apostles state, In The SPIRIT, that HE has Established Peace through HIS cross, there is no longer room for the deeds of the flesh, of which, are included division, strife, disputes, dissensions, factions; all of which strange and varied teachings and our fleshly traits will bring with them; of which The Wisdom Of GOD tells us, that those who practice such things shall not Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD (Galatians 5:19-26). And this is clear when it is understood that our entering into The Kingdom Of GOD here on earth is our now, In CHRIST, walking in Newness of Life in The Rule Of GOD; having become partakers of Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust; and by our possessing the qualities of Divine Nature is our gaining entrance into The Eternal Kingdom Of our LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST (2 Peter 1:1-11). Salvation is not what you work; it is what GOD Works in you through your faith in CHRIST JESUS The LORD; that you become Conformed to HIS Image (Romans 8:28-30), the fruit of which becomes evident to The Grace Of GOD Given to you, that now, in your spirit; how you now think, feel, perceive, understand, decide and so both speak and act, being contrary to all of how you knew to do and did so before, is just as GOD HIMSELF Predestined. ... Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, the Utterances Of GOD; whoever serves, as by the Strength which GOD Supplies; so that in all things GOD may be Glorified Through JESUS CHRIST, to WHOM belongs The Glory And Dominion forever and ever. Amen.1 Peter 4:11. ...And when you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, HE Made you alive together with HIM, having Forgiven (Charizomai) us all our transgressions, having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us which was hostile to us; and HE has Taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross...Colossians 2:13-14. Charizomai: "to bestow a favour unconditionally," Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 2:13, Colossians 3:13.(For GOD did not Send The SON into the world to Judge the world, but that the world should be Saved Through HIM) The certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us is our own sin; for sin, taking opportunity through The Commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. So then, The Law Is Holy and The Commandment Is Holy and Righteous and Good.Therefore did that which is Good become death for me?May it never be!Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is Good, that through The Commandment sin might become utterly sinful.For we know that The Law Is Spiritual; but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin...Romans 7:11-14. Colossians 2:13, ...HE Made you alive together with HIM, having Forgiven us all our transgressions..., this is the Forgiveness bestowed as a favour unconditionally, Graciously, through our being made alive together with HIM.This is The Grace Of GOD In HIS SON. For The Law was Given Through Moses; Grace and Truth were Realised Through JESUS CHRIST.John 1:17. ...being Justified as a Gift by HIS Grace through the Redemption which is In CHRIST JESUS; WHOM GOD Displayed publicly as A Propitiation In HIS Blood through faith, to demonstrate HIS Righteousness, because in The Forebearance 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 3:24-26. The conditions of our sins being completely cancelled (Aphiemi) are confession and repentance; and true repentance with it brings forth fruit inkeeping with repentance.We do not then live contradicting and conflicting with The Word Of GOD and in doing so maintaining rebellion to Divine Authority (sin). And this is The Message we have heard from HIM and announce to you, that GOD Is Light, and In HIM there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with HIM and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice The Truth; but if we walk 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.If we confess our sins, HE Is Faithful and Righteous to Forgive (Aphiemi) us our sins and to Cleanse us from all unrighteousness.If we say that we have not sinned, we make HIM a liar, and HIS Word is not in us...1 John 1:5-10. Now see the words of Paul, a bond-servant Of CHRIST JESUS, Called an Apostle, Set Apart for The Gospel Of GOD, which HE Promised beforehand Through HIS Prophets in The Holy Scriptures, concerning HIS SON, WHO was Born a Descendant of David according to the Flesh, WHO was Declared The SON Of GOD with Power as a result of The Resurrection from the dead, according to The Spirit Of Holiness, JESUS CHRIST our LORD, Through WHOM he and those with him, being bond-servants Of CHRIST JESUS in truth according to GOD, received Grace and Apostleship for this very purpose; to bring about obedience of faith among all the Gentiles. This includes you, who now call on HIS Name and in doing so will name yourselves Christian after HIS Name; your obedience of faith. Does your living, thinking, speaking; and in all these things you do, do they all, all the more, bear witness to the Truth Of GOD and HIS Grace to you?Do they all hold to obedience of faith, according to GOD? They must. Your living must be towards this and growing, increasing; else it is evident you live still walking according to the flesh and not according to The SPIRIT (Matthew 25:14-30). Those that do are the Beloved Of GOD; Called Saints; and to them; Grace to you and Peace from GOD our FATHER And The LORD JESUS CHRIST.Romans 1:1-7. The requirement of The Law shall be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT. ... For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to The SPIRIT, The Things Of The SPIRIT. 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; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD (Hebrews 3:12, 3:18 - 4:2, 11:6, & John 3:18-21). 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 8:5-11. "You will know them by their fruits.Grapes are not gathered from thorn, nor figs from thistles, are they?Even so, every good tree bears Good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit."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 thrown into the fire."So then, you will know them by their fruits...Matthew 7:16-20. We are Called to repent and turn to GOD, performing deeds appropriate to repentance. Therefore In CHRIST JESUS I have found reason for boasting in things pertaining to GOD.For I will not presume to speak of anything except what CHRIST has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,...Romans 15:17-18 Now to HIM WHO Is Able to establish you according to my Gospel and the preaching of JESUS CHRIST, according to The Revelation Of The Mystery which has been Kept secret for long ages past, but now is Manifested, and by the Scriptures of the Prophets, according to The Commandment Of The Eternal GOD, has been Made Known to all the nations, to obedience of faith; to The Only Wise GOD, Through JESUS CHRIST, be The Glory forever. Amen.Romans 16:25-27. When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first of the week, and when the doors were shut where the Disciples were, for fear of the Jews, JESUS Came and stood in their midst and Saying to them,"Peace with you."And when HE had Said this, HE Showed them both HIS Hands and HIS Side.The Disciples therefore rejoiced when they saw The LORD.JESUS therefore said to them again,"Peace with you; as The FATHER has Sent ME, I also Send you."And when HE had said this, HE Breathed on them and Saying to them,"Receive The HOLY SPIRIT. "If you forgive (aphiemi) the sins of any, they have been forgiven (aphiemi) them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained."John 20:19-23. So, in accordance with The faith; knowing obedience of faith in order that you may Receive Forgiveness of sins and an Inheritance among those who have been Sanctified by faith in CHRIST JESUS (Acts 26:18); How do you live and in your living what do you uphold in The Name of Christian?Is it the things according to the flesh, or what is according to The SPIRIT? ...-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 8:13-14. ...'And Forgive (Aphiemi) us our trespasses, as we also forgive (aphiemi) those who trespass against us......"For if you forgive (aphiemi) men for their transgressions, your Heavenly FATHER will also Forgive (Aphiemi) you."But if you do not forgive (aphiemi) men, then your Heavenly FATHER will not Forgive (Aphiemi) your transgressions.Matthew 6:12 & v14-15. Freely Bestowed on us In The BELOVED: ...In HIM we have Redemption Through HIS Blood, the Forgiveness of our trespasses, according to The Riches Of HIS Grace, which HE Lavished upon us.In all Wisdom and Insight HE Made Known to us The Mystery of HIS Will, according to HIS Kind Intention which HE Purposed In HIM with a view to an Administration suitable to the fullness of the times, the summing up of all things In CHRIST... Ephesians 1:7-10 "Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be Wiped Away, in order that times of refreshing may come from The Presence Of The LORD; and that HE may Send JESUS, The CHRIST Appointed for you, WHOM Heaven must Receive until period of Restoration of all things about which GOD Spoke by the mouth of HIS Holy Prophets from ancient time. "Moses said, 'The LORD GOD shall Raise Up for you A PROPHET like me (Numbers 12:7-9) from among your brethren; to HIM you shall give heed in everything HE Says to you.'And it shall be that every soul that does not heed that PROPHET shall be utterly Destroyed from among the people.'Acts 3:19-23. To Receive Grace and to remain standing in Grace, faith is required (Romans 5:1-5); faith according to GOD, which shall be as a constant all the days of our lives; living from faith and towards faith (Romans 1:16-17). And through our faith in GOD, Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD (and to call HIM LORD is to obey HIM; Luke 6:46-49) we shall know to have grace towards all others.And such Grace is recognised in us because it is evident in those who walk truly Aphiemi Of GOD. They will not uphold what is contrary to The Word Of GOD. They will know repentance. They will learn to know to not judge according to the flesh, but with Righteous judgement. They will not condemn another. They will not hide themselves from their own flesh, but shall plead the cause of the afflicted and needy. They will, in being of one heart and soul, regard any material things as being common property to all, as any have need, that all have sufficient. They will learn to always look out for the interests of others above that of themselves. Their heart will not be hardened to the needs of others. They will understand to learn to know to feel to show mercy. They, being Spiritual, will learn to look to restore one caught in any trespass with a spirit of gentleness; and not inflicting judgement, because they also look to themselves lest they too be tempted.Bearing one another's burdens, they thus fulfill The Law Of CHRIST. They know to forgive (aphiemi) and will not bear a grudge. They will not be gossips, slanderers, inventors of evil, without understanding. They will learn to know to put aside all malice, all guile and hypocrisy. They will always desire and being diligent to preserve the Unity Of The SPIRIT in the bond of Peace. They will know in their day by day renewing of their inner man their dying to sin so as to live to Righteousness. They will learn to know repentance towards Salvation; vindication of themselves; indignation toward sin; fear of sin; and being zealous for good deeds. They will learn, with all humility and gentleness with patience, showing forebearance to one another in love; to know this love; agape, being without hypocrisy: they will walk in the same manner as JESUS Walked. They will love even their enemies; knowing benevolence toward them. For the Righteous shall live by faith; because this is The Word which was preached to them; and they have ears to hear to the Saving of their soul; By The Grace Of GOD; faith working through love. Abiding faith, hope, love, these three; but knowing that the greatest of these is love. These are HIS Saints; The HOLY SPIRIT Bears Witness with their spirit; and being Justified by faith they have peace with GOD Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST. For HE Delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to The Kingdom Of HIS Beloved SON, In WHOM we have Redemption, the Forgiveness of sins. And HE Is The Image Of The Invisible GOD, The First-Born Of all Creation.For by HIM all things were Created, in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been Created by HIM and for HIM. And HE Is Before all things, and In HIM all things hold together.HE Is also The Head Of The Body, The Church; and HE Is The Beginning, The First-Born from the dead; so that HE HIMSELF might come to have first place in everything.For it was The Good Pleasure for all The Fullness to Dwell In HIM, and Through HIM to Reconcile all things to HIMSELF, having Made Peace Through The Blood Of HIS Cross; Through HIM, whether things on earth or things in Heaven. And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind in evil deeds, yet HE has now Reconciled you in HIS Fleshly Body through death, in order to present you before HIM Holy and blameless and beyond reproach - if indeed you continue in The faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from The Hope Of The Gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all Creation under Heaven, and of which I, Paul, was Made a minister. Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of HIS Body (which is The Church) in filling up that which is lacking in CHRIST'S Afflictions. Of this Church I was Made a minister according to the stewardship from GOD Bestowed on me for your benefit, that I might fully carry out the The Word Of GOD, The Mystery which has been Hidden from the ages and generations; but now has been Manifested to HIS Saints, to whom GOD Willed to Make Known what is The Riches Of The Glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles, which is CHRIST in you, The Hope Of Glory. And we proclaim HIM, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all Wisdom, that we may present every man Complete In CHRIST. And for this purpose also I labour, striving according to HIS Power, which mightily Works within me... ...that their hearts may be encouraged, having been Knit together in love, and to all The Wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, in a True Knowledge of GOD'S Mystery, CHRIST, In WHOM are Hidden all the Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge. I say this in order that no one may delude you with persuasive argument. For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your Good discipline and the stability of your faith in CHRIST. As you therefore have received CHRIST JESUS The LORD, walk In HIM, having been firmly Rooted being Built Up In HIM and established by your faith, just as you were Instructed, overflowing with gratitude...Colossians 1:13-29 & 2:2-7. Luke 6:20-49.

For all; our needing to learn how to learn because of the deceitful heart. ...that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love and to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, in a true knowledge of GOD'S Mystery, that is, CHRIST HIMSELF, in WHOM are Hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I say this in order that no one may delude you with persuasive argument. For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in CHRIST.

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to CHRIST. For In HIM all the Fullness Of Deity Dwells in bodily form 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 2:2-12. On waking in the morning of then beginning to write this, I had a thought in me of our need, not just to acquire knowledge, but of our need to learn just how, In CHRIST, we are Called to learn according to GOD, because of the deceitful heart. "The beginning of wisdom: Acquire wisdom;And with all your acquiring, get understanding. "Prize her, and she will exalt you;She will honour you if you embrace her. "She will place on your head a garland of Grace;She will present you with a Crown Of Beauty."Proverbs 4:7-9. Then, as I do each morning, I opened my Bible, and I opened at Jeremiah 17 and the deceitful heart. ...Thus Says The LORD,"Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength and whose heart turns away from The LORD."For he will be like a bush in the desert and will not see when prosperity comes, but will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, a land of salt without inhabitant. "Blessed is the man who trusts in The LORD and whose trust is The LORD."For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes;But its leaves will be green and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit. "The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it? "I, The LORD, Search the heart, I Test the mind, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds. "As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid, is he who makes a fortune, but unjustly;In the midst of his days it will forsake him and in the end he will be a fool." A Glorious Throne On High from the beginning is the Place of our Sanctuary. O LORD, The Hope Of Israel, all who forsake THEE will be put to shame.Those who turn away on earth will be Written Down, because they have forsaken The Fountain Of Living Water, even The LORD. Heal me, O LORD, and I will be Healed;Save me and I will be Saved, for THOU Art my praise. Look, they keep saying to me,"Where is The Word of The LORD?Let it come now!" But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after THEE,Nor have I longed for the woeful day;THOU THYSELF Knowest the utterance of my lips was in THY Presence. Do not be a terror to me;THOU Art my Refuge in a day of disaster.Let those who persecute me be put to shame, but as for me, let me not be put to shame;Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed.Bring on them a day of disaster and Crush them with a twofold Destruction!Jeremiah 17:5-18. In all our learning is our acquiring understanding that we never knew before and could never have known before; and will never know, if we will refuse to trust solely in GOD, to learn just how we are, In CHRIST, Called to learn. "I Will Declare your righteousness and your deeds, but they will not profit you.Isaiah 57:12. For from of old they have not heard nor perceived by ear, neither has the eye seen a GOD besides THEE, WHO Acts on behalf of the one who waits for HIM.THOU Dost Meet him who rejoices in doing Righteousness, who remembers THEE in THY Ways.Behold, THOU Wast Angry, for we sinned in Them a long time; and shall we be Saved? For all of us have become like one who is unclean and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; and all of us wither like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.And there is no one who calls on THY Name, who arouses himself to take hold of THEE;For THOU Hast Hidden THY Face from us and Hast Delivered us into the power of our iniquities...Isaiah 64:4-7. The sting of death is sin and the power of sin is The Law.This learning is wholly Spiritual; it is not possessed in us, that is, our flesh; it is not in our combining Spiritual with any fleshly understanding, but is only in combining Spiritual with Spiritual. It is not of this world. What is of this world and the flesh shall always, always, both hinder and refuse all matters pertaining to GOD and HIS Righteousness.The only thing that we possess in ourselves and which is of ourselves that is of any importance in Spiritual matters is our heart. And it is the desire and willingness of our heart to seek and to find; and submit to GOD; that HE may work in us to Cleanse our heart, that we may indeed see GOD. ..."Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see GOD...Matthew 5:8. ...For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to Face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully just as I also have been Fully Known.But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.Pursue love...1 Corinthians 13:12 - 14:1a 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. When any first come to The LORD we do not know what kind of spirit we are of; The SON Of Man did not Come to destroy men's lives, but to Save them.Yet our own fleshly nature cannot perceive how The LORD GOD would have our sentient element to be, so as to understand with what is profitable for all things and which holds Promise for the present life and for the Life to come; Godliness. All we ourselves know and understand in all things is to think, feel, perceive, desire and act according to the flesh. But there is a process that all must enter into and remain in as a constant throughout all the days of our lives; The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT (Titus 3:1-8). ... Beloved, now we are children Of GOD, and it has not Appeared as yet what we shall be.We know that, when HE Appears, we shall be like HIM, because we shall see HIM just as HE Is.And everyone who has this Hope on HIM purifies himself, just as HE Is Pure...1 John 3:2-3. But do we truly know to live as those who shall indeed see HIM just as HE Is, in order to be of those who have this very real expectation upon HIM; through our constant pressing on to The Goal of our Instruction; that being, love from a pure (Cleansed) heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith; and as a result our bearing fruit in keeping with repentance?And all in being fully according to GOD and HIS Glorious Gospel. Or are we of those who, after being grafted in, do not truly take to the Rich Root Of The Olive Tree so as to flourish and grow to the bearing of good fruit?Because we are to live to learn and to understand that a good tree cannot produce bad fruit (Matthew 7:13-27, Romans 11:16-22). ..."The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?... "I AM The True Vine and MY FATHER Is The Vinedresser."Every branch in ME that does not bear fruit, HE Takes Away; and every branch that bears fruit, HE Prunes (Cleanses) it, that it may bear more fruit...John 15:1-2 (Psalm 51:7-13, 2 Corinthians 4:6-18, Titus 2:11-15). For HIS Creation to live according to HIS Word has been The Will and Word Of GOD from the beginning.As also has, now In CHRIST, the ability for all mankind to do so, that there may be no cause for stumbling in the one who abides in HIS Word.And this was Revealed to all mankind at the proper time. ... Beloved, I am not writing a new Commandment to you, but an old Commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old Commandment is The Word which you have heard. On the other hand, I am writing a new Commandment to you, which is true In HIM and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the True Light is already shining. 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... ...And the world is passing away, and its lusts; but the one who does The Will Of GOD abides forever...1 John 2:7-11 & v17. ...A Glorious Throne On High from the beginning is the Place of our Sanctuary.... The fulfillment of Prophecy; The Hidden Wisdom which was Kept from past ages and generations, was Revealed at The Coming Of JESUS CHRIST; The Testimony Borne at the proper time; that all, because all are sinners; As It Is Written,"There is none Righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for GOD;All have turned aside, together they have become useless;There is none who does good, there is not even one." "Their throat is an open grave, with their tongues they keep deceiving,""The poison of asps is under their lips";"Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness"; "Their feet are swift to shed blood, destruction and misery are in their paths and the path of peace they have not known." "There is no fear of GOD before their eyes."Romans 3:10-18, may now, as was not possible under the First Covenant, be Justified as A Gift By HIS Grace through The Redemption which is in CHRIST JESUS; WHOM GOD Displayed publicly as A Propitiation In HIS Blood through faith, to Demonstrate HIS Righteousness, because in The Forebearance 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 3:24-26. ..."Blessed is the man who trusts in The LORD and whose trust is The LORD."For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes;But its leaves will be green and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit... This fulfillment of Prophecy at the Coming of MESSIAH was not only Payment for sin once for all; The LAMB Of GOD WHO Takes Away the sin of the world (John 1:29), but was essentially, through it also, the ability for any to access this Redemption in HIS Blood, by faith; that through The HOLY SPIRIT we now may know in that we may obey The Sacred Writings which are able to give the Wisdom that leads to Salvation through faith which is in CHRIST JESUS (2 Timothy 3:15-17). HE does not take away sins, but the sin which existed since The Fall, when sin first entered the world and which is subject to GOD'S Judgement.Living by faith in JESUS CHRIST according to GOD and according to no other is absolutely required; that HE might be Just And The Justifier Of the one who has faith in JESUS... As The LORD JESUS Says to those who are HIS Disciples indeed: "I AM The Way And The Truth And The Life; no one comes to The FATHER, but Through ME."If you had known ME, you would have known MY FATHER also; from now on you know HIM and have seen HIM."John 14:6-7. And Through The HOLY SPIRIT, by faith, is the only way we may now live In CHRIST JESUS, living as those who are indeed waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness. For we, Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness.Galatians 5:5. "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. We all, without exception, are found as slaves to sin.And a slave cannot be instructed by words alone. This is because even though one may understand, yet still, there will be no response that we may actually be effectual doers of The Word in our overcoming of sin. And sin is rebellion to Divine Authority. 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. 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;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. It is the effectual doers of The Word who are those who are the Chosen according to GOD The FATHER; Through The Sanctifying Work Of The SPIRIT that we may fully obey JESUS CHRIST and be Sprinkled With HIS Blood: May Grace and peace be yours in Fullest Measure (1 Peter 1:1-5). And it is for the Godly purpose, that in the actual fact of our living, and not in our living deceiving ourselves, we live as obeying The Voice Of The LORD in that we understand so as to practice The Truth.(The Word Of The LORD Abides forever. And this is The Word which was preached to you). Because to The LORD our GOD, for us to obey is better than sacrifice; and this, in our overcoming of sin, is why MESSIAH JESUS Came; "Sacrifice and offering THOU Hast not Desired,But A Body THOU Hast Prepared for ME;In whole burnt offerings and for sin THOU hast taken no Pleasure."Then I Said, 'Behold, I Have Come (In The Roll Of The Book It Is Written Of ME)To Do THY Will, O GOD.' " This is The Will Of GOD: in taking away the First Covenant, GOD Establishes the Second Covenant; so that those who will truly live believing in GOD may now, By HIS SPIRIT, in the rest of their time in the flesh, being no longer for the lusts of men but for The Will Of GOD; obey The Voice Of The LORD; learning to walk in the same manner as JESUS Walked (1 John 2). By This will we have been Sanctified Through The Offering Of The Body Of JESUS CHRIST Once for all.(Hebrews 10). To live as not breaking a covenant one must maintain the agreement and not break what is specified therein. What shall we say then?Are we to continue in sin that Grace might increase?May it never be!How shall we who died to sin still live in it?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 (1 Peter 4:1-2), 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 6:1-4. For those who believe in GOD, now is our Sanctification By The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth; The Grace Of GOD through faith in The Gospel Of The Kingdom Of GOD; The Gospel Of JESUS CHRIST (2 Thessalonians 2:13-17). This means our overcoming sin and is not our living continuing in sin as we all once blindly did so before; before we first heard of The Way Of Righteousness and The Holy Commandment through The Grace Of GOD in HIS SON.If we have indeed heard. ...As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning.If what you heard from the beginning (John 1:14, John 6:63, John 11:25-26, John 14:6) abides in you, you also will abide In The SON And In The FATHER.And this is The Promise which HE HIMSELF Made to us: Eternal Life...1 John 2:24-25. THY Word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against THEE.Blessed Art THOU, O LORD; Teach me THY Statutes.Psalm 119:11-12. We, in our flesh, being in and of ourselves, cannot hope to understand to the point of being able to live to GOD that we may overcome sin so as to live the rest of our days as pleasing to GOD, because the heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; and none, not one, can understand it in and of himself according to the wisdom of the flesh. ...Now we have Received, not the spirit of the world, but The SPIRIT WHO Is From GOD, that we might know the things Freely Given to us By GOD, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught By The SPIRIT, combining Spiritual with Spiritual.But a natural man does not accept the things Of The SPIRIT Of GOD; for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them, because they are Spiritually appraised.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 2:12-16 ...For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to The SPIRIT, the things Of The SPIRIT.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; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD...Romans 8:5-8. And without faith it is impossible to please, for he who comes to GOD must believe that HE Is, and HE Is A Rewarder Of those who seek HIM.Hebrews 11:6. Let The Word Of CHRIST Richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with Psalms, hymns, Spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to GOD...Colossians 3:16. So now, for those whose eyes are not blinded by the darkness, (as are the eyes of the many who themselves profess to see and yet who live contradicting The Word and The Commandment; and The Word Is The Commandment), they are those who, because they walk in The Light as GOD HIMSELF Is In The Light; thus truly having fellowship with HIM; The Blood Of JESUS HIS SON Cleanses them from all sin (1John 1:1-10).And they are known by their fruits. They see to recognise what is now evident to them, of which the doing of causes the perpetrators thereof to not being able to Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD; because they live refusing to walk in The Rule Of GOD: ...Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are; immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD...Galatians 5:19-21. For now, by The Grace Of GOD, we have A SAVIOUR WHO Is The Propitiation in HIS Blood for our sins; JESUS CHRIST The Righteous, and so it is that HE becomes to us through our faith in HIM.Thus it is that we are The Righteousness Of GOD In HIM. But by HIS Doing you are In CHRIST JESUS, WHO became to us wisdom from GOD and Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption, that, just as It Is Written,"Let him who boasts, boast in The LORD."1 Corinthians 1:30-31 Therefore, we are ambassadors for CHRIST, as though GOD were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of CHRIST, be reconciled to GOD.HE Made HIM WHO Knew no sin sin on our behalf, that we might become The Righteousness Of GOD In HIM.And working together, we also urge you not to receive The Grace Of GOD in vain - for HE Says,"At the acceptable time I Listened to you and on The Day of Salvation I Helped you";behold, now is "The acceptable time,"behold, now is "The Day of Salvation" - giving no cause for offense in anything, in order that The Ministry be not discredited, but in everything commending ourselves as servants Of GOD, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses...2 Corinthians 5:20 - 6:4 But our remaining in this Grace in which we enter into and in which we remain standing by faith alone, is our remaining in by faith in our living from faith and towards faith; always believing in GOD wherein The Righteousness Of GOD is Revealed to us in and through the day by day Renewing of our inner man. As Paul writes,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 (Gentile).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 1:16-17. This means we learn and are all the while learning and never ceasing to learn.It is and always is to be a constant all the days of our lives. If we, in our walk, are living contrary to The Word and will refuse correction from The Word, then we have, of ourselves, chosen to break the covenant and do no more than live trusting in ourselves and making flesh our strength. 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...Psalm 50 (v16-17). We have ceased to walk learning how we are Called, by GOD, to walk and to learn; in humility before HIM all the days of our lives. ...Thus Says The LORD,"Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength and whose heart turns away from The LORD."For he will be like a bush in the desert and will not see when prosperity comes, but will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, a land of salt without inhabitant... This day by day renewing of our inner man through The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT, so that we indeed now live to GOD and may worship The FATHER in spirit and truth; being of those who are alive from the dead, is an essential part and the understanding required for all who hope to live Godly In CHRIST JESUS. Those that will live believing something of themselves do lack the humility required in order to being able to learn in coming to The Knowledge Of The Truth; their heart is not right within them.But the Righteous will live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4). "But this is The Covenant which I Will Make with The House of Israel after those days," Declares The LORD,"I Will Put MY Law within them, and on their heart I Will Write It; and I Will Be their GOD, and they shall be MY people."And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbour and each man his Brother, saying,'Know The LORD,'for they shall all know ME, from the least of them to the greatest of them," Declares The LORD, "For I Will Forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."Jeremiah 31:33-34. ("But do not be called Rabbi; for ONE Is your TEACHER and you are all Brothers. Matthew 23:8) ...Do we then nullify The Law through faith?May it never be!On the contrary, we establish The Law.Romans 3:31. ...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.And coming to HIM as to a Living Stone, rejected by men, but Choice and Precious in the Sight Of GOD, you also, as living stones, are being Built Up as a Spiritual House for a Holy priesthood, to offer up Spiritual sacrifices acceptable to GOD Through JESUS CHRIST...1 Peter 1:2-5 "It is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words that I have Spoken to you are Spirit and are Life...John 6:63 GOD'S Purpose according to HIS Choice stands, not because of our works, but because of HIM WHO Calls.We are HIS Workmanship, Created in CHRIST JESUS for Good Works which GOD Prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.Through HIM alone we have access in ONE SPIRIT to The FATHER (Ephesians 2:8-22).Where The LORD JESUS is, there shall HIS servants also be (John 12:24-26). ...One Body and ONE SPIRIT, just as 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 4:4. Some may say of what I am saying here, 'But HE Gives teachers,' (Ephesians 4:11). But many who stand as Pastors and teachers and whatever else do so according to their own beliefs, imaginings and interpretations of Scripture, and not according to The TEACHER. And those that do so are not where The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is:"A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he?Will they not both fall into a pit?"A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher...Luke 6:39-40. So who do you look to as your teacher?Is it The TEACHER, or is it a man who stands as teacher?Because whoever it is we are a disciple of, it is he whom we will be like. Let not many become teachers, my Brethren, knowing that as such we shall incur a stricter Judgement.For we all stumble in many ways.If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well...James 3:1-2. We are, In CHRIST, now manifested that we are a letter Of CHRIST, cared for by each other, written not with ink, but with The SPIRIT Of The Living GOD, not on tablets of stone; as will now be evidenced in our living establishing The Law through faith; through our having The Law Written on our hearts; according to Prophecy, and so, according to GOD.The Testimony Of JESUS is The Spirit of Prophecy (Revelation 19:7-10). It is not on paper, it is not on certificates of qualification, it is not on our job description and wage slip, it is not on word processors, it is not in any self justification or justification by other men, but is Written on tablets of human hearts By The HOLY SPIRIT.And it is such as this that a man Of GOD will recognise of a man Of GOD who is a bond-servant Of CHRIST and GOD indeed; recognising The Grace Of GOD Given to him by his words and deeds being Of GOD and always according to HIS Word; never refusing The Word and correction from The Word (Romans 12:3, 1 Peter 4:10-11). And such confidence we have Through CHRIST toward GOD.Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming 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... ...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...2 Corinthians chapters 3 - 6. The Goal of our Instruction is love from a pure heart; which means a Cleansed heart, and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Being Baptised in The Name Of The LORD JESUS does not mean one has then consequently Received The HOLY SPIRIT (Acts 8:14-17). Neither is it that one has not Received The HOLY SPIRIT because they have not as yet been Baptised in water in The Name Of The LORD JESUS (Acts 10:34-48). And Acts 2:38-47, Acts 19:1-7. Now The LORD Is The SPIRIT; and where The SPIRIT Of The LORD Is, is Liberty.This Liberty is and means, Freedom from the flesh, that CHRIST is always exalted in the body of our flesh and never ourselves (Philippians 1:19-20), because of GOD, WHO Gives Life to your mortal body Through HIS SPIRIT WHO Indwells you (Romans 8:1-17). The LORD GOD Will Give to each and every one of us according to the path in life we have trodden; by our words and our deeds and all being known according to our fruit...."I, The LORD, Search the heart, I Test the mind, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds... Knowing this, for those who do indeed learn and learn in accordance with The Truth, that sin, taking opportunity through The Commandment deceives us (initially, apart from The Commandment we would not know what constitutes sin before A Holy GOD), and through it kills us, because The Law is Holy and Righteous and Good, they will learn to understand The Scriptures and accordingly that we cannot continue in sin that Grace might increase and with this the knowledge of what constitutes sin before A Holy GOD, and that it is not according to what a man himself deems to be right and good and acceptable and perfect. This, because The Law is Spiritual and our actual living fulfilling The Law in that we establish The Law in all our living, consequently, can only be Spiritual. ...Is The Law then contrary to The Promises Of GOD?May it never be!For if a Law had been Given which was able to impart Life, then Righteousness would indeed have been based on Law.But the Scripture has shut up all men under sin, that The Promise by faith in JESUS CHRIST might be Given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under The Law, being shut up to The faith which was later to be Revealed. Therefore The Law has become our tutor to CHRIST, that we may be Justified by faith (Romans 3:26).But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.For you are all sons Of GOD through faith in CHRIST JESUS.For all of you who were Baptised Into CHRIST have Clothed yourselves with CHRIST...Galatians 3:21-27. Flesh and blood cannot Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD.It is Spiritual.Our spirit; our sentient element; that by which we feel, think, decide, being the vital principle by which our fleshly body is animated, is now, In CHRIST, to be Led By The HOLY SPIRIT and not according to our fleshly nature as was before we first confessed JESUS LORD. Through this, we begin to bear The Testimony Of JESUS; thinking, deciding and speaking as an imitator of HIM; because this is what means confessing JESUS before men (Luke 12:8-9), living being as imitators of GOD as Beloved children (Ephesians 4:29 - 5:2). Do not believe me in my words here? Many because of false doctrine will not.But I do not ask any to believe me, but GOD Alone.Do you believe that this is far and beyond any capabilities we have in ourselves, that is, our flesh?It most certainly is. Do you believe when we act as we will that just because we believe of ourselves that we are Christian and yet it is contrary to CHRIST we still serve and please GOD all the same?We do not. ...But The Wisdom from Above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy...James 3:17. The LORD Is Good to all and HIS Mercies are over all HIS Works.All THY Works shall give thanks to THEE, O LORD, and THY Godly ones shall bless THEE.They shall speak of the Glory of THY Kingdom and talk of THY Power;To make known to the sons of men THY Mighty Acts and the Glory of The Majesty Of THY Kingdom.THY Kingdom Is an everlasting Kingdom and THY Dominion throughout all generations.Psalm 145:9-13. And if you do live believing we please GOD all the same, then you are not believing in The GOD WHO Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT to you.And if so, then your faith is nothing and it will profit you nought (Psalm 50:16-21). A man who hardens his neck after much reproof will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.Proverbs 29:1. Just look at the Apostle's Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, how they were before in The Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and then to those same men we read of and from in the acts of the Apostles, and at their heart in their letters which make up the The New Testament.They bear witness to The Truth Of GOD; and we are Called in like manner. Hear The Song of Moses, a most humble man Of GOD:"Give ear, O Heavens, and let me speak;And let the earth hear the words of my mouth."Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, as the droplets on the fresh grass and as the showers on the herb. "For I proclaim The Name Of The LORD;Ascribe Greatness to our GOD!"The ROCK! HIS Work Is Perfect, for all HIS Ways Are Just;A GOD Of Faithfulness and without injustice. Righteous and Upright Is HE...Deuteronomy 32:1-4. So who are you, O Christian, who does not look for such traits now in all your own living? Just ways, faithfulness, without injustice, Righteousness, uprightness. Now, in The New Covenant, The Kingdom Of GOD is Righteousness and peace and joy in The HOLY SPIRIT.For he who in this serves CHRIST is acceptable to GOD and approved by men...Romans 14:17-18. Again, we are Called to that the peace Of GOD governs, controls and directs our hearts, letting The Word Of CHRIST inhabit to influence us abundantly, in all Godly wisdom, wherein we both learn and teach one another; and all for our building up to the praise and Glory Of GOD (Colossians 3:12-17). But there are many who do not live as understanding such a spirit of the New Creation; yet for those who do walk by this rule, truly, Peace and Mercy is Upon them. "Truly, truly, I Say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see The Kingdom Of GOD." "Truly, truly, I Say to you, unless one is born of water and The SPIRIT, he cannot enter into The Kingdom Of GOD."That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born Of The SPIRIT Is Spirit."Do not marvel that I Said to you,'You must be born again.'...John 3:3 & v5-7. Here, to see The Kingdom Of GOD means our perceiving in that we see to understand The Rule Of GOD in our lives.And, unless one is born of water and The SPIRIT, he cannot enter into The Kingdom Of GOD, means without Baptism and The HOLY SPIRIT we simply cannot enter into The Rule Of GOD. And what does it mean according to Scripture of our being Baptised Into CHRIST?It means now, the life that we live we live to GOD, considering ourselves to be dead to sin but alive to GOD In CHRIST JESUS. What shall we say then?Are we to continue in sin that Grace might increase?May it never be!How shall we who died to sin still live in it?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. For if we have become United with in the likeness of HIS death, certainly we shall be also of HIS Resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is Freed from sin. Now if we have died with CHRIST, we believe that we shall also live with HIM, knowing that CHRIST, having been Raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over HIM. For the death that HE died, HE died to sin, once for all; but the life that HE Lives, HE Lives to GOD.Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive to GOD In CHRIST JESUS. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey its lusts and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to GOD as those alive from the dead and your members instruments of Righteousness to GOD. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under Law, but under Grace...Romans 6:1-14. The members of our body of course include our heart (Romans 6:16-18, Matthew 5:8), tongue (James 3:1-6), along with every limb and other part of the body (Matthew 5:27-30). ...Therefore, since CHRIST has suffered (death) in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered (death) in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for The Will Of GOD...1 Peter 4:1-2. Yet how many Christians continue to live practicing the deeds of the flesh, unable to recognise that they live still doing the very things which they are Called in One Body to do away with; to die to, and all because of their fleshly attitude of their heart toward others?They live as professing to be of those who are grafted in to The Rich Root of The Holy Olive Tree, yet they are not living as producing the fruit of It; the fruit Of Righteousness. For you were Called to Freedom, Brethren; only not your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.For the whole Law is fulfilled in one Word, in the,"You shall love your neighbour as yourself." But if you bite and devour one another, take care lest you be consumed by one another. But I say, walk By The SPIRIT and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.For the flesh sets its desire against The SPIRIT, and The SPIRIT Against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please (Romans 7:14-25). But if you are Led By The SPIRIT, (only then) you are not under The Law...Galatians 5:13-18. (Luke 12:35-40). And we are to know, because we are told through The Word Of GOD to us all, that those of an impure mind and who are impudent, and sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices lying, have no right to The Tree Of Life and cannot enter The Gates Of The Heavenly City (Revelation 22:10-21). 'Dog,' in Philippians 3:2 & Revelation 22:15, is speaking of those whose impurity in principles and rules of right conduct, not being according to GOD, will exclude them from the New Jerusalem.The Jews used the term 'dog' of Gentiles, under the idea of ceremonial impurity and among the Greeks it was an epithet of impudence. The one who himself says, "I have come to know HIM," and yet does not keep The LORD'S Commandments, this one is a liar and The Truth is not in him; he is practicing lying and so because of this he, by his own doing, has no right to The Tree Of Life and cannot enter into The Gates Of The City (1 John 2:1-6, 1 John 4:20). If any will refuse to learn how we need to learn and in their refusal will deny The Truth Of GOD, then all they do in their ignorance to The Truth Of GOD is to make HIM a liar. Despite their profession of faith, they have not believed in The Witness GOD Has Borne concerning HIS SON (1 John 5:9-12). As it is impossible for GOD to lie we must align all our deeds with HIS Word to see if we stand in Truth or not, rather than do what many today do, which is to believe of themselves that they are Saved, without knowing to examine themselves to see if JESUS CHRIST is in them; in all their words and deeds (2 Corinthians 13:4-11). I will bow down toward THY Holy Temple and give thanks to THY Name for THY Lovingkindness and THY Truth;For THOU Hast Magnified THY Word according to all THY Name.On the day I called THOU didst Answer me;THOU didst Make me bold with Strength in my soul.Psalm 138:2-4. Whoever upholds what is not of Sound Doctrine according to The Glorious Gospel Of The Blessed GOD, is a liar; and love is the fulfillment of The Law (Luke 10:27-28). The Law is not made for a Righteous man; and we only are The Righteousness Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS. ..."Will you really annul MY Judgement?Will you condemn ME that you may be justified?"Or do you have an arm like GOD and can you thunder with a voice like HIS? "Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity; and clothe yourself with honour and majesty."Pour out the overflowings of your anger; and look on everyone who is proud, and make him low."Look on everyone who is proud, humble him; and tread down the wicked where they stand."Hide them in the dust altogether; bind them in the hidden place. "Then I Will also Confess to you, that your own right hand can save you...Job 40:8-14. We have no adequacy in ourselves, because nothing good dwells in us, that is, our flesh.Just as all men Of GOD understand, because they have learned, are learned and constantly learning that it is so. A man Of GOD will learn to understand that he himself is nothing.He will see to recognise his utter wretchedness before GOD and that in this there is no room for boasting; but only in The LORD.He will learn more and more of his total dependence upon The LORD and HIS Grace; because of his wretchedness, and that before GOD no man has a place to stand as a dominant better over another; that before GOD all are as nothing and men of high degree are neither how they are seen or anything of what they will believe of themselves.Some will refuse this because they do not have such humility so as to be able to recognise man's standing before The Perfection Of Beauty, GOD HIMSELF. ...For all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;And all of us wither like a leaf and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away...Isaiah 64:6. As a man Of GOD in CHRIST such as Paul wrote, ...Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming 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... ...Now The LORD Is The SPIRIT; and where The SPIRIT Of The LORD Is, is Liberty... ...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 Manifestation of Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in The Sight Of GOD. 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 3:5-6, v17 & 4:1-7. Psalm 62.

2 Corinthians 7:3 - Because of CHRIST Truly Being In The Heart. ...I do not speak to condemn you; for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together...2 Corinthians 7:3. Paul, here, as in all his letters, showing his heart; the heart of a man Of GOD in Truth; being an example for any and all to be an imitator of as a child Of GOD in Truth: ...Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks (Gentiles) or to The Church Of GOD; just as I also please all men in all things (always according to GOD only), not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be Saved.Be imitators of me, just as I also am of CHRIST.1 Corinthians 10:32 - 11:1. ...For GOD is my Witness, how I long for you all with the affection Of CHRIST JESUS.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 1:7-11. Even so, Paul, as with all the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST would still write and speak to admonish and exhort all, ...Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of The Gospel Of CHRIST; so that when I come and see you or remain absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for The faith of The Gospel;...Philippians 1:27. It is nothing of the division and strife and obstinacy which blindly exists today among the many who profess The Name. And after, continuing to write, ...For to you it has been Granted for CHRIST'S Sake, not only to believe in HIM, but also to suffer for HIS Sake, experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear in me,he then writes to them, 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... What Paul is stating here is, if you are a Christian; a professing follower of CHRIST, then show it toward encouragement, wherein we, being of one heart and mind, all share in the afflictions Of CHRIST and intent on one purpose.And is always GOD'S Purpose for all and not our own, according to the flesh. Just as he writes to The Church at Colossae,Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of HIS Body (which is The Church) in filling up that which is lacking in CHRIST'S Afflictions.Colossians 1:24. The word afflictions, written here by Paul is, in the original manuscript written in Greek, the word thlipsis.It primarily means a pressing, pressure, anything which burdens the spirit; the sentient element of a man, or woman. And this should be the will and desire; the very spirit of every Christian even today;to both have and desire such a pressing for CHRIST'S Sake and with it our comfort in CHRIST in the midst of all our afflictions and persecutions, and with this, the unity of The SPIRIT in the bond of peace. Affection, compassion;because we are all of the same mind, as Of CHRIST;because we all maintain the same love, as Of CHRIST;because we are indeed united in one spirit being intent on one purpose;and that purpose is GOD'S and not our own. Yet, it must become our own and shall indeed become our own, because of CHRIST In us; The Hope Of Glory. As he continues to write to The Church at that time in Colossae, ...Of this Church I was Made a minister according to the stewardship from GOD Bestowed on me for your benefit, that I might fully carry out The Word Of GOD, the Mystery which has been Hidden from the past ages and generations; but has now been Manifested to HIS Saints, to whom GOD Willed to make known what is the Riches Of The Glory Of this Mystery among the Gentiles, which is CHRIST In you, The Hope Of Glory. And we proclaim HIM, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete In CHRIST.And for this Purpose also I labour, striving according to HIS Power, which mightily works within me.Colossians 1:25-29. But not every man submits himself to and for this Purpose, which requires real humility to the being able to be Led By The SPIRIT. And we are Instructed to test ourselves, not in our measuring ourselves by ourselves and in this merely commending our own selves or others as being disciples and servants of JESUS CHRIST by our own measure, but because we stand as a Christian and so truly being of The faith, always walking to see in all our words and deeds if JESUS CHRIST is truly in us. How we identify a Christian in truth is being according to GOD HIMSELF, because a Christian in truth walks, having put on the New self and being Renewed to a true knowledge according to The Image Of The ONE WHO Created him. These are the Chosen Of GOD, Holy and Beloved; who put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another and forgiving each other, who show they know to love and do not profess love whilst yet maintaining hypocrisy in the deeds of the flesh; but knowing love which is the perfect bond of unity;being of those who let the Peace Of CHRIST rule in their hearts;because it is this they were Called to in one body;being of those who let The Word Of their CHRIST And GOD abundantly and richly dwell within themselves with all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another, so that in all they do in word and deed they truly do in The Name Of The LORD JESUS and giving thanks Through HIM to GOD The FATHER (Colossians 3:1-17). And so when we refuse the one speaking and who, in his speaking, speaks truthfully to us from The GOD Breathed Word, and yet we will know to stand and reject or condemn in their words; and in it all, accordingly, repudiating The Holy Scriptures and so rejecting GOD, we then do not stand as a Christian according to GOD, but only in a self-justification and standing being as a self-condemned liar, deceiving ourselves, because of our quenching The HOLY SPIRIT, grieving HIM and blaspheming HIM; the unpardonable sin. No liar has Eternal Life abiding in them. Sadly this is the way of many who profess The Name today. And those that do so and being apart from repentance shall indeed reap as they have sown, regardless of the teaching they believe in and follow which will convince themselves otherwise; because only JESUS and a sincere faith in HIM Saves to Eternal Life and By and Through HIS SPIRIT. HE Alone Is The Authority.HE Alone Is The Example.And It Is HE Alone WHO Will Save HIS people from their sins. See The Parable of the Vine-growers, Luke 20:9-18. And in refusing the messenger we refuse The ONE WHO Sends him. And HE Said to them, "Go into all the world and preach The Gospel to all Creation."He who has believed and has been Baptised (Romans 6:1-18) shall be Saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.Mark 16:15-16. When in our living as Christians we practice the deeds of the flesh, being the very things which GOD Says to us, throughout all HIS Word, that the practicing of shall ultimately lead to our eternal separation from HIM and with this the second death; because of our still living in the flesh and thus our living apart from HIM; not living to know the true repentance which brings forth fruit inkeeping with repentance according to GOD, the fruit borne out in our dying to sin; being Saved By The Blood Of CHRIST; our being Washed from our sins By HIS Blood: we most certainly shall die (Romans 8:12-14). To be Washed from our sins means to be Cleansed from our sins, which, truly being in the process of and remaining in, is our Justification: The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT (Titus 3:4-8). ... being Justified as a Gift By HIS Grace through the Redemption which is in CHRIST JESUS; WHOM GOD Displayed publicly as A Propitiation In HIS Blood through faith, to demonstrate HIS Righteousness, because in the Forebearance 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. Where then is boasting?It is excluded.By what kind of Law?Of works?No, but by a Law of faith.Romans 3:24-28. That we may struggle in some things with our flesh in the process of our dying to sin, and for each one is their struggle with sin as each one is as yet still enslaved to the sins of the flesh, GOD'S Grace Is always Sufficient to their overcoming.Nevertheless, we must overcome. It is what we are Called to. And those whose hearts are completely HIS shall; because of The LORD their GOD (1 John 2:12-17, 1 John 5:4, Revelation 2:11, Revelation 3:5-6, Revelation 3:20-22). ...that HE would Grant you, according to The Riches Of HIS Glory, to be Strengthened with Power Through HIS SPIRIT in the inner man; so that CHRIST may Dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the Saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love Of CHRIST which surpasses knowledge, that you may be Filled Up to all The Fullness Of CHRIST. Now to HIM WHO Is Able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to The Power that Works within us, to HIM The Glory in The Church and In CHRIST JESUS to all generations forever and ever. Amen.Ephesians 3:16-21. And read to meditate on GOD'S Truth in Isaiah 35. ...For the death that HE Died, HE Died to sin, once for all; but the life that HE Lives, HE Lives to GOD.Even so consider yourselves as dead to sin but alive to GOD In CHRIST JESUS.Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey its lusts and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to GOD as those alive from the dead and your members as instruments of Righteousness to GOD.For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under Law, but under Grace... (Hebrews 10:26-39).Romans 6:10-14 But the one who walks blindly continuing in sin, who does not recognise their own wretchedness, because they, unknowing because of the ignorance that remains within them, does not and cannot joyfully concur with The Law Of GOD in their inner man; and walks not knowing so as certainly, in the point of fact, being Set Free from the body of their death (Romans 7:14-25). Because in The faith of The Gospel, JESUS Says to those who believe in HIM: "If you abide in MY Word, you are truly Disciples Of MINE; and you shall know The Truth and The Truth shall Make you Free." ..."Truly, truly, I Say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin."And the slave (of sin) does not remain in The House forever; the son (Revelation 21:5-7, 1 John 3:1-3, Hebrews 8:10-12) does remain forever. "If therefore The SON Shall Make you Free (from sin), you Shall be Free indeed...John 8:31 & v 34-36.Here, to be free indeed actually means certainly in the point of fact, and not in any self proclamation of being justified before both GOD and man. ...But The Goal of our Instruction is love from a pure (Cleansed) heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith...1 Timothy 1:5. Yet many walk as a Christian straying from these essential things, living as not knowing The Will and Purpose Of GOD for us all In CHRIST JESUS.To many HE is just a Name they proclaim and hold to and is not a belief lived; not a New way of living which truly bears fruit inkeeping with repentance according to GOD.And they walk, unknowing and unable to see; rejecting correction of and from The Word Of The GOD they lay claim to having faith in (2 Timothy 3:15-17). Godly repentance through Godly sorrow for sin is what produces in us the vindication of ourselves.Because this vindication is firstly recognising when sinning and is our indignation towards sin and vexation at sin, our fear of sinning again, our vehement desire and zeal not to sin and ecclesiastical detesting of sin; all that cannot be known according to the flesh (Romans 8:3-8, John 3:3-8, 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, Romans 8:5-8). It is why MESSIAH JESUS Came: and as HE Said to the woman of Samaria:"If you knew The Gift Of GOD and WHO It Is WHO Says to you, 'Give ME a drink,' you would have asked HIM, and HE would have Given you Living Water." John 4:10 (John 6:63, John 7:38-39, John 14:15-18, Isaiah 12). Wisdom warns: ..."How long, O naive ones, will you love simplicity?And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing and fools hate Knowledge?"Turn to reproof, Behold I will pour out my Spirit on you; I will make my words known to you...Proverbs 1:22-23. 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 32:15-18 So when we will walk yet still according to the flesh we will remain as unknowing of these things, not knowing a Cleansed heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith according to CHRIST JESUS and The faith Of The Gospel (Hebrews 6:1-8). For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a New Creation.And those who will walk by this rule, Peace and Mercy upon them and upon the Israel Of GOD (Romans 9:6-8, Galatians 6:8).Galatians 6:15-16. ...For the sorrow that is according to GOD produces a repentance without regret, to Salvation; but the sorrow of the world produces death.For behold what earnestness this very thing, this Godly sorrow, has produced in you; what vindication of yourselves, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong!In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter...2 Corinthians 7:10-11. ...Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, teach a Righteous man and he will increase learning.The fear of The LORD is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of The Holy ONE is understanding.Proverbs 9:9-10. Just as The Wisdom Of GOD Says, ..."For the waywardness of the naive shall kill them and the complacency of fools shall destroy them."But he who listens to me shall live securely and shall be at ease from the dread of evil."Proverbs 1:32-33 ..."For whoever has, to him shall be Given, and he shall have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be Taken Away from him...Matthew 13:12 ..."But for you who fear MY Name the sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall...Malachi 4:2. He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the Righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to The LORD.Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, when he has no sense?A friend loves at all times and a Brother is born for adversity.Proverbs 17:15-17. Wisdom is vindicated by all her children. A man Of GOD, as was the Apostle Paul, will not speak to condemn, nor will he seek his own (love will never do this; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7) but in the heart will be the desire both to live together and to die together. "Now therefore, O sons, listen to me, for Blessed are those who keep my ways."Heed instruction and be wise and do not neglect."Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my doorposts."For he who finds me finds Life and obtains Favour from The LORD."But he who sins against me injures himself; All those who hate me love death."Proverbs 8:32-36. It is not that we remain clean when we blindly remain content in our sins; doing the things we please through and because of our fleshly nature; in this we are not walking as allowing The LORD to Wash our feet, through whomever HE may, metaphorically, wash our feet.Yet ultimately it is, by Grace through faith, The Sanctifying Work Of The SPIRIT, to and for those with eyes to see and with ears to hear. And our sin means all the deeds of the flesh; But I say, walk By The SPIRIT and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.For the flesh sets its desire against The SPIRIT and The SPIRIT Against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.But if you are Led By The SPIRIT, you are not under The Law. Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are; immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing and things like these, of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD... Galatians 5:16-21 (1 Corinthians 15:50). ... Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and greed, which amounts to idolatry.For it is on account of these things that The Wrath Of GOD Will Come Upon the sons of disobedience, and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, abusive speech from your mouth... Colossians 3:5-8. It is why The LORD JESUS Spoke to Peter when HE washed the Disciples feet, this humility, and as an example to all others HE Explains afterwards as HE does.But who truly understands? ..."What I do you do not realise now, but you shall understand hereafter."Peter said to HIM, "Never shall YOU wash my feet!"JESUS Answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with ME." Simon Peter said to HIM, "LORD, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." JESUS Said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all." For HE Knew the one who was betraying HIM; for this reason HE Said, "Not all of you are clean." And so when HE had washed their feet and taken HIS garments and reclined again, HE Said to them,"Do you know what I have done to you?"You call ME Teacher and LORD; and you are right, for I AM. "If I then, The LORD And The Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet."For I have Given you an Example that you should do as I did to you. "Truly, truly, I Say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him."If you know these things you are Blessed if you do them. "I do not Speak of all of you. I Know the ones I have Chosen (Chosen to serve; subordinate to the conception known, as a result of mental understanding, of kindness or favour or love; John 15:16-19, Acts 1:2, Ephesians 1:4, James 2:5); but that the Scripture may be fulfilled,'He who eats MY bread has lifted up his heel against ME.' "From now on I am Telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I AM. "Truly, truly, I Say to you, he who receives whomever I Send receives ME; and he who receives ME receives HIM WHO Sent ME."John 13:7-20. The LORD JESUS here in verses 18-19 was speaking of Judas Iscariot. But HE also here speaks to us all and of whomever HE Sends.But whom The LORD Sends is whoever is where JESUS Is, as opposed to those there are many of today; who walk as it is that wherever they go or whatever they do they have an attitude of believing that JESUS follows them and where they are so is HE. Such as these are Christians in JESUS' Name only and not in humility, not in word and deed according to all The Word Of GOD. i.e., John 12:24-26, Psalm 91:14-16 & Jeremiah 5:30-31, Ezekiel 13:3-7, 3 John:9. Though Judas Iscariot was Chosen as one of the twelve, he was a devil (John 6:70-71, John 13:27). Many are Called, but few Chosen (Matthew 22:1-16). 1 Peter 1:2, 2 Peter 1:2. We too have free will, whether to obey The LORD or to live as denying The LORD. And we all in our walk shall trespass in our getting it wrong along the way; metaphorically walking where and how we ought not turn our feet to in our walk. But those who are HIS will know repentance to the overcoming of sin, as opposed to those who live remaining in sin and wrongly believing that in this, GOD'S Grace is still sufficient for them, thinking something of themselves. But this is to live regarding as unclean The Blood Of The Covenant and is living insulting The SPIRIT Of Grace (Hebrews 10:26-39). ... 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." Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware and some to honour and some to dishonour.Therefore, if a man cleanses himself from these (Psalm 119:9, Colossians 1:7-8, 2 Corinthians 6:14 - 7:1) he will be a vessel for honour, Sanctified, useful to The MASTER, prepared for every Good Work...2 Timothy 2:19-21. ... Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as HE Is Righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning (Isaiah 14:12-14).The SON Of GOD Appeared for this purpose, that HE might destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born Of GOD practices sin, because HIS Seed Abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born Of GOD. 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 3:7-10. 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 Received 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 Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in The Sight Of GOD. 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'S 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 3:17 - 4:7 The SPIRIT Of The LORD GOD Is Upon me, because The LORD has Anointed me to bring Good News to the afflicted; HE has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim Liberty to captives and Freedom to prisoners...Isaiah 61:1 This Prophecy in Isaiah, fulfilled in JESUS CHRIST is of HIS followers also.And we who are In CHRIST, who are being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT, will always look to live together and to die together; liberty from the flesh because it was for Freedom that CHRIST Set us Free.There are many who will find fault, following after their own lusts (which does not necessarily mean sexualities), who will think and speak arrogantly.There are many wolves in sheep's clothing."You will know them by their fruits." GOD Is The ONE WHO Shines in the hearts of HIS children to give the light of The Knowledge of The Glory Of GOD in The Face Of CHRIST.HE Speaks to us through HIS Apostles and in HIS Word stating that it is so.And these, as with all HIS children, shall be examples to The Flock; models for imitation; according to CHRIST. 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. ...Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on The Grace to be brought to you at The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts in your ignorance, but like The Holy ONE WHO Called you, be Holy yourselves in all behaviour; because It Is Written,"You shall be Holy, for I AM Holy." (this is Spoken as a Command. Because love; having the love Of GOD in ourselves, is the fulfillment of The Law) And if you address as FATHER The ONE WHO Impartially Judges according to each man's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay; knowing that you were not Redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with Precious Blood, as Of A LAMB Unblemished And Spotless, Of CHRIST. For HE was Foreknown before the Foundation of the world, but has Appeared in these last times for the sake of you who Through HIM are believers in GOD, WHO Raised HIM from the dead and Gave HIM Glory, so that your faith and Hope are In GOD... 1 Peter 1:13-21. ...But know this first of all, that no Prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no Prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men Moved by The HOLY SPIRIT Spoke from GOD. But false prophets also rose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying The MASTER WHO Bought them, bringing swift Destruction upon themselves. And many will follow their sensuality and because of them the way of The Truth will be maligned; and in greed they will exploit you with false words; their Judgement from long ago is not idle and their Destruction is not asleep... ...The LORD Knows how to rescue the Godly from temptation and to keep the unrighteous under Punishment for The Day Of Judgement, and especially those who indulge the flesh in corrupt desires and despise Authority.Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile dignities...2 Peter 1:20 - 2:3 & v9-10. It is not for a man Of GOD to condemn another.A man Of GOD has no place in his heart to condemn another and should seek to leave no room in his heart to condemn another. Showing another in where they err because of and from love (and to err is of the flesh) when standing being self-condemned according to Scripture, is from a different spirit altogether.Recognise what The LORD JESUS Says to James and John, and to us in the example given, Written in Luke 9:51-56. Let the Righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me; it is oil upon the head;Do not let my head refuse it, for still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.Psalm 141:5. We all, without exception, will need correcting as we sojourn here in our time upon the earth to our overcoming sin.It is why Paul wrote to us all in The Foreknowledge Of GOD such as, 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.For if anyone thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.But let each man examine his own work 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...Galatians 6:1-5. Whether the one being shown hears or not is solely down to the heart of the one who either hears or who does not hear and accordingly refuses to listen, and it is they themselves alone who shall face the consequence of any wrongdoing, refusing correction from The Word Of GOD for whatever reasons they choose not to listen and their receiving The Grace Of GOD in vain. It shall all be according to all The Word Of GOD; because, man shall not live on bread alone but on every Word that Proceeds Out of The Mouth Of GOD, and we have all of the evidence already Given to us in The Word Of GOD, as well as the means to being able to understand; all being from GOD; by Grace through The faith that is in CHRIST JESUS. This, so that there shall be none with excuse on The Day which is soon coming upon the whole world. ...Who will bring a charge against GOD'S Elect?GOD Is The ONE WHO Justifies; who is the one who condemns?CHRIST JESUS Is HE WHO died, yes, rather who was Raised from the dead, WHO Is At The Right Hand Of GOD, WHO also Intercedes for us. Who shall separate us from The Love Of GOD?Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?Just as It Is Written, "For THY Sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered." But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer Through HIM WHO loved us.For I am convinced that neither death, nor like, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other Created thing, shall be able to separate us from The Love Of GOD, which Is In CHRIST JESUS our LORD.Romans 8:33-39.

John 5:25 - And the living dead among those alive from the dead. ..."Truly, truly, I Say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear The Voice Of The SON Of GOD; and those who hear shall live... John 5:25. John 5:19-47 speaks of JESUS' Equality with GOD (Zechariah 13:7), though HE did indeed Empty HIMSELF taking the form of a Bond-Servant (Philippians 2:1-16) and being found in Appearance as a Man walked in obedience to The FATHER, In The Power Of The SPIRIT; being The Perfect Example to all in things pertaining to GOD and for us to become imitators of. For example,In Baptism: Matthew 3:13-17 - Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38. In preaching The Gospel of The Kingdom Of GOD: Mark 1:14, Luke 4:17-19, Luke 4:43-44 - Galatians 3:8, Mark 16:15, 1 Peter 1:10-25, Romans 16:25-27, Colossians 1:23. In doing The Will Of GOD from the heart: John 4:34, John 5:30, Hebrews 10:5-10 - Galatians 1:3-5, John 1:11-14, Matthew 7:21, Matthew 12:47-50, Mark 3:35, Romans 12:1-3, 1 Peter 2:13-25. ...And when you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, HE Made you alive together with HIM, having Forgiven us all our transgressions, having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us which was hostile to us; and HE has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When HE had Disarmed the rulers and authorities.HE (The FATHER) Made a public display of them, having Triumphed over them Through HIM (The SON)...Colossians 2:13-15. Some will take Colossians 2:13-14 as evidence in Scripture of and meaning that they are Saved to the point of being unable to go back to death, Judgement and eternal separation from GOD. While there are also some who believe that it is possible for others to do so but do not recognise it, and so they do not acknowledge it as being possible for themselves.You will find such thinking being in those who themselves are quick to Spiritually appraise other in deeming their unworthiness, while they will themselves commend themselves.All of which, of course, being contrary to Scripture and living upholding Scripture (Matthew 13:24-50, 1 Corinthians 2:9-16, John 3:16-17, James 4:11-12, 1 Corinthians 4:5). Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of his gifts falsely.Proverbs 25:14. Those who forsake The Law praise the wicked, but those who keep The Law strive with them.Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek The LORD understand all things.Proverbs 28:4-5. But those that do so are those who fail to recognise all their own conduct, word and deed, in when their living is contrary to JESUS CHRIST and of obedience to The Gospel and conviction in and by the discipline Of The LORD by HIS SPIRIT. Now The LORD Is The SPIRIT; and where The SPIRIT Of The LORD Is, is Liberty (Freedom of and from the flesh). But we all (are to be), with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror The Glory Of The LORD, (and) are (to be) being Transformed into the same Image from glory to Glory, just as from The LORD, The SPIRIT...2 Corinthians 3:17-18. It is an example of when Scripture is distorted to mean what some want it to mean in their not understanding and in their ignorance to the truth of The Gospel and of repentance for the Forgiveness of sins, being unable to recognise and refusing other places in Scripture that warn of walking contrary to GOD and the consequences of doing so stipulated therein, and so, their belief of and interpretation of Scripture will hold contradiction.For an example, such as: ..."For if you forgive men for their transgressions, your Heavenly FATHER will also Forgive you."But if you do not forgive men, then your Heavenly FATHER will not Forgive your transgressions... Matthew 6:14-15. This is Spiritual Truth told us by The LORD JESUS and after HIS Instruction of our praying, in which we pray, 'And Forgive us our trespasses, as we (in like manner as we ourselves) forgive those who trespass against us,' written in verse 12. And yet many stand in The Name of a Christian not doing so and not knowing to being able do so according to GOD, because they cannot recognise that they, contrary to The Blessed GOD and HIS Glorious Gospel, actually live with an attitude of judgement and condemnation of and over others.A perfect example of this would be calvinism. When in anger and we retaliate when wronged, and our anger, being no less than an instant demand of retribution, it is that we offer nothing other than instant judgement, our own judgement; we are, in our flesh, standing as judge over another.It is not knowing mercy and grace. Such a spirit in a man is not knowing, not hearing, and is consequently being contrary to the conduct of children Of GOD being according to their Heavenly FATHER; "But I Say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either."Give to everyone who asks of you and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back."And just as you want people to treat you, treat them in the same way (Matthew 7:12). "And if you love those who love you, what credit is to you? (this word translated here as credit is, in the Greek, Charis; Grace) For even sinners love those who love them. "And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit (Grace) is to you? For even sinners do the same. "And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit (Grace) is to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same. "But love your enemies and do good and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your Reward will be Great and you will be sons Of The MOST HIGH; for HE HIMSELF Is Kind (the Greek, Chrēstos, meaning Gracious; Ephesians 4:32)to ungrateful and evil men. "Be merciful, just as your FATHER Is Merciful. "And do not judge and you will not be Judged; and do not condemn and you will not be Condemned; pardon and you will be Pardoned. "Give and it will be Given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap. For by your standard of measure it will be Measured to you in return."...Luke 6:27-38. Or when we reject another because of something we have been told of them and even without hearing both sides.Then we are no more than talebearers and whisperers, acting contrary to GOD (Romans 1:29-30, 2 Corinthians 12:20) and do not live as establishing The Law through faith in our walk (Romans 3:31). Words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him; the beginning of his talking is folly and the end of it is wicked madness.Ecclesiastes 10:12-13. In any case, we are never to merely accuse any of wrongdoing, but must also with the accusation bear witness to the wrongdoing and also understand that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be established. He who gives an answer before he hears, it is folly and shame to him.Proverbs 18:13 The first to plead his case seems just, until another comes and examines him.Proverbs 18:17 He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.How Blessed is the man who fears always, but he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.Proverbs 28:13-14. "Do not judge lest you be Judged."For in the way you judge, you will be Judged; and by your standard of measure it will be Measured to you."And why do you look at the speck that is in your Brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"Or how can you say to your Brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log that is in your own eye? "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your Brother's eye...Matthew 7:1-5. In The LORD we are supposed to recognise that there is always protocol to follow and is always to be according to HIS Word.Those who do not know The LORD will be ignorant to how GOD Instructs, but those who profess to know HIM are then not to walk in ignorance to HIS Instruction.It has always been this way. "On the evidence of two witnesses or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness.Deuteronomy 17:6 "A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed...Deuteronomy 19:15 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.Those who continue to sin rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also may be fearful.I solemnly charge you in The Presence Of GOD and Of CHRIST JESUS and of Chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.1 Timothy 5:19-21 ... Anyone who has set aside The Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot The SON Of GOD and has regarded as unclean The Blood Of The Covenant by which he was Sanctified and has insulted The SPIRIT Of Grace? For we know HIM WHO Said,"Vengeance Is MINE, I Will Repay."And again,"The LORD Will Judge HIS people."It is a terrifying thing to fall into The Hands Of The Living GOD...Hebrews 10:28-31. For our proud confidence is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in Holiness and Godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in The Grace Of GOD, we have conducted ourselves in the world and especially toward you.For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end (The Day Of our LORD JESUS);...2 Corinthians 1:12-13. But do we understand in that we live by such Godly Knowledge in all sincerity?Many of us clearly do not. ...Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such as is good for edification according to the need, that it may give Grace to those who hear. 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 4:29 - 5:2. And what constitutes an unwholesome word?It is any corrupt, unfit for purpose communication as a follower of CHRIST in Truth. ...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.For this is The Message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;...1 John 3:10-11. Love does no wrong to a neighbour; love therefore is the fulfillment of The Law.Romans 13:10. The Righteous one considers the house of the wicked, turning the wicked to ruin.Proverbs 21:12 For any who will stand as a Christian, to merely shrug off what any show from The Word in Truth is the very example of arrogance in disobedience to The Word.It is to repudiate The Word, and those who will repudiate The Word Of GOD are truly those who count themselves unworthy of Eternal Life; they stand being self-condemned (e.g., Acts 13:44-48). The Promise of Eternal Life is not according to the flesh, not according to any rule and authority of men; but is according to The SPIRIT (John 6:63-64). It is why Paul states,...Of this Church I was Made a minister according to the stewardship from GOD Bestowed on me for your benefit, that I might fully carry out The Word Of GOD, The Mystery which has been Hidden from the past ages and generations; but now has been Manifested to HIS Saints, to whom GOD Willed to make known what is the Riches Of The Glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles, which is CHRIST In you, The Hope Of Glory. And we proclaim HIM, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete In CHRIST. And for this purpose also I labour, striving according to HIS Power, which Mightily Works within me.Colossians 1:25-29. Every overseer in every Church, whatever his position in HIS Church, and everyone who lays claim to being a follower of JESUS CHRIST must take heed.Take heed or face the consequence of disobedience which The LORD HIMSELF shall Recompense to every man; no partiality.The Wrath Of GOD Abides on the sons of disobedience. Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and greed, which amounts to idolatry.For it is on account of these things that The Wrath Of GOD Comes Upon the sons of disobedience.And in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. But now you also, put them all aside:anger, wrath, malice, slander, abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its practices and have put on the New self who is being Renewed to a True Knowledge according to The ONE WHO Created him...Colossians 3:5-10 To all In CHRIST who truly know to keep themselves in the love Of GOD; because they walk abiding in love; The Word Of GOD is to them that which shall certainly perform Its work in them (1 Thessalonians 2:13-16); because they live truly believing; according to The GOD Breathed Word Itself through their Saving faith in JESUS CHRIST and will, according to all GOD HIMSELF Says, prove themselves a doer of The Word and not just of hearers who delude themselves (James 1:19-25). A Christian who is a Christian indeed is not one who walks to receive The Grace Of GOD in vain, but is one who shall look to walk, always; in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in The HOLY SPIRIT, in genuine love, in The Word Of Truth, in The Power Of GOD; by the weapons of Righteousness for the right hand and the left, by glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; as unknown yet Well-Known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punished yet not put to death, as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many Rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things.2 Corinthians 6:6-10. These are those indeed whom The FATHER has brought forth by The Word Of Truth (James 1:18). These are those who do not walk in craftiness or adulterating The Word Of GOD, but by Manifestation of Truth commend themselves to every man's conscience in The Sight Of GOD (2 Corinthians 4:2). They do not hold their faith in a spirit of partiality. How can a young man keep his way pure?By keeping according to THY Word.Psalm 119:9 (John 15:1-6, 2 Timothy 3:15-17). My soul cleaves to the dust; Revive me according to THY Word Psalm 119:25 (Romans 8:1-14). My soul weeps because of grief; Strengthen me according to THY Word.Psalm 119:28 (Ephesians 3:16-21). May THY Lovingkindness also come to me, O LORD, THY Salvation according to THY Word.Psalm119:41 (Hebrews 8:10-12). I entreated THY Favour with all my heart; Be Gracious to me according to THY Word.Psalm 119:58 (Hebrews 10:19-25). O may THY Lovingkindness Comfort me, according to THY Word to THY servant.Psalm 119:76 (2 Corinthians 1:3-7). My soul languishes for THY Salvation; I wait for THY Word.Psalm 119:81 (2 Corinthians 4:16-18, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10). Sustain me according to THY Word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my Hope.Psalm 119:116 (Romans 5:1-5, Romans 10:8-11). Let my cry come before THEE, O LORD; Give me Understanding according to THY Word.Let my supplication come before THEE; Deliver me according to THY Word.Let my tongue sing of THY Word, for all THY Commandments Are Righteousness.Let THY Hand be ready to Help me, for I have chosen THY Precepts.I long for THY Salvation, O LORD, and THY Law is my delight.Let my soul live that I may praise THEE, and Let THINE Ordinances Help me.I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek THY servant, for I do not forget THY Commandments. (John 13:34-35).Psalm 119:169-176. ...for all have sinned and fall short of The Glory Of GOD, being Justified as a Gift By HIS Grace Through The Redemption which is In CHRIST JESUS; WHOM GOD Displayed publicly as A Propitiation In HIS Blood through faith.To demonstrate HIS Righteousness, because in the Forebearance 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. Where then is boasting?It is excluded.By what kind of Law?Of works?No, but by a Law of faith...Romans 3:23-27. GOD Is Faithful; HE cannot deny HIMSELF.Therefore, HE cannot act contrary to HIS Word.We are Delivered according to HIS Word and this cannot be when we live as being disobedient to The Word Of GOD; our being faithless in our denying HIM (2 Timothy 2:1-15). If we are living contrary to HIS Word then we shall be Judged by The Law through and because of our proving to being transgressors of The Law; ...For there is no partiality with GOD.For all who have sinned without The Law will also perish without The Law; and all who have sinned under The Law will be Judged by The Law; for not the hearers of The Law are Just before GOD, but the doers of The Law will be Justified... (Romans 3:31).Romans 2:11-13. Love is the fulfillment of The Law and those who truly love GOD know to and seek to always keep HIS Commandments.They will know repentance to their overcoming (1 John 5:4, Revelation 2:7, Revelation 2:11, Revelation 2:17, Revelation 2:26, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 3:12, Revelation 3:21). To overcome is to Inherit The New Heaven and New Earth, The New Jerusalem, where GOD Will Dwell among men and they shall be HIS people and GOD HIMSELF Shall be among them, WHO Will Wipe away every year from their eyes; and there shall no longer be death; there shall no longer be mourning, or crying, or pain... ...And HE WHO Sits On The Throne Said,"Behold, I AM Making All Things New."And HE Said,"Write, for these Words Are Faithful And True."And HE Said to me,"It Is Done. I AM The ALPHA And The OMEGA, The BEGINNING And The END. I Will Give to the one who thirsts from The Spring Of The Water Of Life without cost. "He who overcomes shall Inherit these things and I Will Be his GOD and he will be MY son. "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."Revelation 21:1-8. As GOD HIMSELF Says of the here and now, ..."Sanctify them in The Truth; THY Word Is Truth..." John 17:17. Let the heavens be glad and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar and all it contains; let the field exult and all that is in it.Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy before The LORD, for HE Is Coming; For HE Is Coming to Judge the earth.HE Will Judge the world in Righteousness and the peoples in HIS Faithfulness.Psalm 96:11-13. Lying lips are an abomination to The LORD, but those who deal faithfully are HIS Delight.A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaims folly.Proverbs 12:22-23 A wicked messenger falls into adversity, but a faithful envoy brings healing.Poverty and shame to him who neglects discipline, but he who regards reproof will be honoured.Proverbs 13:17-18. "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.Luke 16:10 Just as Paul writes, I thank my GOD always concerning you, for The Grace Of GOD which was Given you In CHRIST JESUS, that in everything you were enriched In HIM, in all speech and in all Knowledge, even as The Testimony concerning CHRIST was confirmed in you, so that you are not lacking in any Gift, awaiting eagerly The Revelation Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO Shall also Confirm you to the end, blameless in The Day Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. GOD Is Faithful, Through WHOM you were Called into fellowship with HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST.Now I exhort you, Brethren, by The Name Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that you all agree and there be no divisions among you, but you be made Complete in the same mind and in the same judgement.1 Corinthians 1:4-10. ...It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.For it is for this we labour and strive, because we have fixed our hope on The Living GOD, WHO Is The SAVIOUR Of all men, especially of believers.Prescribe and teach these things...1 Timothy 4:9-11. Our walking in Newness of Life; no longer walking as slaves to sin. ... 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.For if we have become United with (JESUS) in the likeness of HIS death, certainly we shall be also of HIS Resurrection...Romans 6:4-5 (1 Peter 4:1-2). Ephesians 2:1-10. Titus 3:1-11. We who are Christians, through faith are to live to die to sin, and having died to that which we were once enslaved to, that sin no longer is master over us; not living as we lived before we first confessed JESUS LORD, understanding that we cannot remain in the world as being of the world; that we are not our own anymore, we are reconciled to GOD Through CHRIST. But not all who profess The Name walk understanding as they ought, but they remain on in the flesh, being faithless, walking according to the flesh, arguing according to the flesh against and being contrary to all sound judgement in Godly wisdom.These are the living dead; who do not have Eternal Life abiding in them anymore than an unbeliever who also walks, though alive yet dead in their trespasses.And these are the many, and not of the few. Make sure you are of the Chosen; test yourselves; examine yourselves. "For many are Called, but few Chosen."Matthew 22:1-16 (v 16). They are those who will refuse what I write here, even though in it all I am standing on The Word Of GOD in my writing, attempting to show error to both them and to those who will be taken in by them in their error; in both their understanding and how they will see themselves and conduct themselves towards both believers and outsiders; which must always be according to GOD and all HIS Word.That they may know repentance wherever repentance is needed and is not yet recognised, so that they do not perish through their disobedience to The Word. As it is in The Will Of GOD that none perish but that all come to repentance, then it will be the will of HIS children also. When we choose to sin; willfully sinning when we turn from GOD, we are again walking along the broad way that leads to destruction; we are not abiding in love; we are not keeping ourselves in the love Of GOD (Jude:17-23). In our trespassing, walking where and how we should not walk, we have strayed from The Narrow Path and on to the broad way that leads to destruction. Repentance is absolutely required. But there are many false teachings which do not teach its followers to understand this.But instead they believe, still in arrogance and still in their fleshly mind, that they walk towards their redemption and to Life, and accordingly they cannot see to understand Scripture which warns. ...Take care, Brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from The Living GOD. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is called "Today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of CHRIST, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end; while It Is Said,"Today if you hear HIS Voice, do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked ME." For who provoked when they had heard?Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was HE Angry for forty years?Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did HE Swear that they should not enter HIS Rest, but to those who were disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. Therefore, let us fear lest, while a Promise remains of entering HIS Rest any one of you should seem to have come short of it.For indeed we have had Good News preached to us, just as they also; but The Word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. Therefore we who have believed enter that Rest, just as HE Has Said,"As I Swore In MY Wrath, they shall not enter MY Rest," although HIS Works were finished from The Foundation of the world.For HE has thus Said somewhere concerning the seventh day,"And GOD Rested On The Seventh Day From All HIS Works"; and again in this, "They Shall Not Enter MY Rest." Since therefore it remains for some to enter it and those who formerly had Good News preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, HE again fixes a certain day, "Today," Saying Through David after so long a time just as has been said before,"Today if you hear HIS Voice, do not harden your hearts."...Hebrews 3:12 - 4:7. "Today."

John 18:37. Furthermore to recognising... Christians, who are supposed to know to understand differently, in knowing that they simply cannot bear witness to themselves; that no one can.And if any do then their witness, in that they themselves bear witness to themselves, is simply not true.Those who will still do so and in ignorance to The Truth (being that only GOD Is Just and The Justifier of the one who has faith in JESUS), do so blindly, arrogantly, and are also blindly believed on by others who themselves know only to do the same. In all of the strange and varied teachings and beliefs of what is Christianity that we have today, those who hold to them, stubbornly refusing to be corrected by The Word and thus being unable to see, they should remember that whatever we do here on earth it is fully known in Heaven, and one day soon we shall all be recompensed for all the things we have done; whether good or bad. This should instill a fear. ..."Truly I Say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven... Matthew 18:18. But then to grasp this understanding in the fullness of the fear it should bring, the fear of The LORD would first have to be known. The fear of The LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of The Holy ONE is understanding. Proverbs 9:10. And today, clearly it just is not known among many of those who profess to know GOD, with whom, if it was, would then accordingly know to conduct themselves in true humility before both GOD and man.Their conduct would show it. Men Of GOD we read of and from in Scripture knew true humility, that The LORD their GOD was and is their all; their Portion; their Inheritance. Preserve me, O GOD, for I take refuge in THEE.I said to The LORD, "THOU Art my LORD; I have no good besides THEE." As for the Saints who are in the earth, they are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their libations of blood, nor shall I take their names upon my lips. The LORD Is The Portion of my Inheritance and my Cup; THOU Dost Support my lot.The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; indeed, my Heritage is Beautiful to me. I will bless The LORD WHO has Counseled me; indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.I have set The LORD continually before me; because HE Is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will dwell securely.For THOU wilt not abandon my soul to Sheol; neither wilt THOU Allow THY Holy ONE to undergo decay. THOU wilt make Known to me The Path Of Life; In THY Presence is fullness of joy; In THY Right Hand there are pleasures forever.Psalm 16.(Psalm 73:26, Psalm 119:57-64, Psalm 142, Jeremiah 10:16). When The LORD is continually before us in our walk; when we willingly give to HIM the place of honour in our lives, we will not be shaken. We are to understand: Let another praise you and not your own mouth; a stranger and not your own lips. Proverbs 27:2. For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom The LORD Commends.2 Corinthians 10:18. It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glory to search out one's own glory.Proverbs 25:27. Not even The LORD JESUS did so of HIMSELF; because HE never sought HIS Own Will, but The FATHER'S; John 5:28-32. Just as we as Christians are supposed to know, and just as we profess that we do; Matthew 6:10.But do we? The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is The Good SHEPHERD; ..."I AM The Door; if anyone enters through ME, he shall be Saved and shall go in and out and find Pasture."The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I Came that they might have Life and might have abundantly. "I AM The Good SHEPHERD; The Good SHEPHERD lays down HIS Life for the sheep."He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, who is not The Owner of the sheep, beholds the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters, because he is a hireling and is not concerned about the sheep. "I AM The Good SHEPHERD; and I Know MY Own and MY Own know ME, even as The FATHER Knows ME and I Know The FATHER; and I Lay Down MY Life for the sheep...John 10:9-15. Have you ever known a man who stands as pastor who has scattered the sheep; caused others to leave a particular Church because he himself desires to rule by his own authority and insists that it is his way and merely according to his own wisdom and even his own interpretation of The Holy Scriptures?Such a one, no matter how much he will protest and deny it of himself, in doing so, he is not first and foremost concerned about the sheep, but of his own position as he himself sees it, even, desires it to be and accepted by all others. I have known such a one. And I have heard the same bearing witness of himself that he is in right standing before GOD, while he has also in his time condemned others in and by his own wisdom, foresight and judgement. You will find with such as these that in the attitude of their hearts, to them and for themselves in their own thinking, somehow, GOD'S Grace is sufficient, but they do not consider the same of and for others. But we are to discern, and such men are supposed to be corrected (Matthew 18:15-20), and if refusing correction from The Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17) are to be refused.Whatever a man's standing in any particular Church, it is not his church; it is The LORD'S (Colossians 1:9-23), and we are all Brothers (Matthew 18:1-35, Luke 22:24-27). ..."But do not be called Rabbi; for ONE Is your TEACHER, and you are all Brothers... Matthew 23:8 (Luke 6:39-40). We are supposed to let no one disregard The Instruction (Titus 2), which applies to all; no partiality (1 Corinthians 4:1-4, Job 15:14-16, Job 34:10-30). We should answer one who will behave as an arrogant foolish one according to his folly, lest we ourselves become like him and consequently, in never knowing repentance, shall share his fate (Proverbs 26:4-5). Because, such a one, in his folly, does not joyfully concur with The Law Of GOD in his inner man; therefore, he is not himself being transformed by the Renewing of his mind; thinking more highly of himself than he ought to think (Romans 12). If he does hear and repents, then you have won your Brother.If he refuses, then he stands being self-condemned. His blood; his life is on his own head, and it is not on your head (Ezekiel 33:1-20). The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing, but the Righteous has a Refuge when he dies (John 11:25-26).Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, but in the bosom of fools it is made known. Proverbs 14:32-33. Love will look to turn a sinner from the error of his ways.And in our keeping fervent in our love for one another, love will hinder the acquaintance with and familiarity of sin; to the point that we shall die to sin so as to be able to live to Righteousness (Romans 6:15-19). The end of all things is at hand; therefore, be of sound judgement and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:7-8. ...Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.And you know that HE Appeared in order to take away sins; and In HIM there is no sin.No one who abides In HIM sins; and no one who sins has seen HIM or knows HIM...1 John 3:4-6. But where there is no knowledge; where there is no insight into Spiritual Truth among those of any particular Church, then such men shall flourish. And sadly they do. A Diotrephes character (3 John:9-11) has no place in GOD'S Church which HE Purchased With HIS Own Blood (Matthew 23:4-13, 1 Peter 5:2-3, Philippians 2:1-5, 1 Peter 4:10-11). My Brethren, if any among you strays from The Truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.James 5:19-20. See how Paul, a man Of GOD indeed; knowing humility, understood in himself of himself: ...For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the wishing is present in me, but the doing of the good not.For the good that I wish, I do not do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish.But if I am doing the very thing I do not wish, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which indwells me. I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wishes to do good. For I joyfully concur with The Law Of GOD in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of The Law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am!Who will set me Free from the body of this death?Thanks be to GOD Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving The Law Of GOD, but on the other, with my flesh The Law of sin...Romans 7:18-25.Paul, just as with David, just as with any man Of GOD, knew that he had no good besides The LORD his GOD. GOD Is Love: This means the goodness that we now, In CHRIST, have in ourselves by The Grace Of GOD through faith; being HIS Testimony in us, is not when we walk acting in all that is being contrary to JESUS and the love Of GOD. The HOLY SPIRIT is not according to our flesh, but our spirit; that GOD might give Life to our mortal bodies because of HIS SPIRIT WHO Indwells us (Romans 8:9-11); so that just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we are now to bear The Image Of The Heavenly (1 Corinthians 15:35-49). "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. ...Now I say this, Brethren, that flesh and blood cannot Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD; nor does the perishable Inherit The Imperishable... 1 Corinthians 15:50. ...Blessed The GOD And FATHER Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO has Blessed us with every Spiritual Blessing in The Heavenly In CHRIST, just as HE Chose us In HIM before The Foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and blameless before HIM in love. HE Predestined us to adoption as sons Through JESUS CHRIST to HIMSELF, according to The Kind Intention Of HIS Will, to the praise and Glory Of HIS Grace, which HE Freely Bestowed on us In The BELOVED. In HIM we have Redemption Through HIS Blood, the Forgiveness of our trespasses, according to The Riches Of HIS Grace, which HE Lavished upon us. In all Wisdom and Insight HE Made Known to us The Mystery Of HIS Will, according to HIS Kind Intention which HE Purposed In HIM with a view to an Administration suitable to the fullness of the times, the summing up of all things In CHRIST, things in The Heavens and things upon earth. In HIM also we have Obtained an Inheritance, having been Predestined according to HIS Purpose WHO Works all things after The Counsel Of HIS Will, to the end that we who were the first to hope In CHRIST should be to the praise of HIS Glory. In HIM, you also, after listening to The Message Of Truth, The Gospel Of your Salvation - having also believed, you were Sealed 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 1:3-14. And is why Paul writes to those who are Brethren indeed, ...And concerning you, my Brethren, I myself am also convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all Knowledge and able also to admonish one another...Romans 15:14. Yet today many are deceived in their belief of themselves and shall bear witness of themselves in their walk, believing of themselves that they walk rightly before The LORD, when the truth is that their spirit; their very sentient element does not uphold this belief of their own imaginings when aligned with The Truth Of GOD and that which is seen in the Christians of the New Testament. This arrogance, (before GOD this is what it is and arrogance and pride being a deed of the flesh shall not stand before HIM), when they refuse to understand just as we are Called to know and to understand; being in humility, being filled with Godly Knowledge, knowing and understanding that it is actually borne out in all our words and deeds and it is to be in harmony with all Scripture, which performs its work in those who believe (1 Thessalonians 2:13), and is not in our testifying to our own righteousness; being without hypocrisy; then, in such pride and arrogance it is what is and shall be in their standing self condemned; no matter how much they themselves will deny it, their own undoing. As Paul writes of himself and of those with him who are indeed in Truth examples to the flock for imitation; ...Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves;but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding...2 Corinthians 10:11-12. Testifying of ourselves and bearing witness to our own goodness is something man knows to do according to the flesh. But in CHRIST JESUS we are not to know such boasting, or at least are to know and to understand now that we no longer do this; and so we are no longer to be walking according to the flesh. Like a dog that returns to its own vomit is a fool who repeats his folly.Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?There is more hope for a fool than for him.Proverbs 26:11-12. ...For we know that if our earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from GOD, A House not made with hands, eternal in The Heavens.For indeed in this we groan, longing to be Clothed with our Dwelling from Heaven; inasmuch as we, having put it on, shall not be found naked. For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed, but to be Clothed, in order that what is mortal may be swallowed up by Life. Now HE WHO Prepared us for this very purpose is GOD, WHO Gave to us The SPIRIT as A Pledge. (2 Corinthians 1:20-22). Therefore, being always of good courage and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from The LORD - for we walk by faith and not by sight - we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with The LORD. Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to HIM.For we must all appear before The Judgement Seat Of CHRIST, that each one may be Recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Therefore knowing the fear of The LORD, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to GOD; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences. We are not again commending ourselves to you but giving you an occasion to be proud of us, that you may have answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart...2 Corinthians 5:1-12. Our clothing so that we shall not be found naked is the Righteous acts of the Saints (Revelation 19:7-10). Because one might have the Gift of Prophecy, or of Pastor (Pastor is, as all the Gifts are, Given to each one according to HIS Grace to each one, a Gift, being for the common good; for the building up of The Body in love; Ephesians 4:7-16, and is never being a title of and for the authority of men; 1 Peter 5:1-3), or of evangelist, or teacher, or of whatever else; all which GOD Distributes individually just as HE Wills (1 Corinthians 12:4-31), this, in itself, does not mean that any are Saved because of The Gift Given according to The Grace Given to each one. It is not in itself evidence of a child Of GOD who, By The SPIRIT HIMSELF, has evidenced by HIM Alone of their spirit that they do indeed bear The Testimony Of JESUS....The SPIRIT HIMSELF Bears Witness with our spirit that we are children Of GOD, and if children, heirs also, heirs Of GOD and fellow heirs with CHRIST, if indeed we suffer with in order that we may also be Glorified with...Romans 8:16-17 (1 Peter 4:1-2). Any who believe, either of themselves or of others that it does mean that they are Saved because, as they see it, of a Gift Given Of GOD, which is supposed to be for the common good and the building up of The Body in love, and is proof in itself of a Saving faith, then they walk as an unknowing fool. There are those who have stood and who now stand as Pastors, for example, who shall hear those Words Spoken By The LORD which no man will want to hear, "I never Knew you; Depart from ME, you who practice lawlessness..." I have both known and have suffered at the hands of such arrogant men, as I'm sure many have.Those who believe of themselves that others are to remain obedient to and respect them in their titles, as they themselves see it, whatever and whichever "title" that might be; because they believe in the title and consequently how they themselves see things and becomes above their believing in GOD Through JESUS CHRIST.Yet this is nothing of a Christian in truth. Such as Hebrews 13:17 is not for their benefit, but is for all and there is to be no partiality (no man is above the Scriptures), that all have a good conscience desiring to conduct themselves honourably, according to GOD. It has never been that we are to blindly accept any man.But we are to examine everything carefully, and after careful consideration, if all is as should be; and JESUS CHRIST Is the same yesterday, today and forever; then we are to imitate their faith (Hebrews 13:7-9). But we are all, as Christians, and without exception; in love Called to, ...Bear one another's burdens and thus fulfill The Law Of CHRIST.For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.But let each one examine (test, discern, try, 2 Corinthians 13:5) his own work and then he will have boasting (2 Corinthians 1:12) in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another (1 Corinthians 4:7).For each one shall bear his own load.Galatians 6:2-5. If any reading here, who have got this far, and think and believe that I am wrong, then open your eyes, unblock your ears and by your necks being unstiffened so as to be able to hear (GOD Is Opposed to the proud but Gives Grace to the humble), hear this example given to us in Scripture: Caiaphas was high priest (Hebrews 5:1-4, John 3:27) in the days of JESUS' Flesh when HE was delivered up for the sins of the world (Matthew 26:57-68). In John 11:47-53, It Is Written,... Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council and were saying,"What are we doing? For this Man is Performing many Signs."If we let HIM go on like this, all men will believe in HIM and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation." But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,"You know nothing at all, nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that One Man should die for the people and that the whole nation should not perish." Now this he did not say on his own initiative; but being high priest that year, he Prophesied that JESUS was going to die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but that HE might also Gather Together into One the children Of GOD who are scattered abroad.So from that day on they planned together to kill HIM... Caiaphas Prophesied, and yet he himself did not recognise to believe in GOD'S MESSIAH, JESUS; The SON Of GOD, even though Scripture stated and states that this is who MESSIAH shall be; GOD'S Own SON (Psalm 2:7-12, Proverbs 30:4); Born of the virgin (Isaiah 7:14) and that HE HIMSELF Performed many miracles (Luke 7:18-23, Isaiah 35). And today not all who profess to be Christian have faith in GOD as they both believe of themselves or are accepted as having by others, who will also look to those also of little faith for guidance and even Spiritual leadership. The chief priests and the Pharisees desire was, in truth, for themselves.They only knew to be selfish and did not know selflessness, just as is with many Christians today.They lived and existed for their own place and did not know, in truth and in Godly sincerity, to serve GOD and in serving GOD their serving all others. And a Christian is to be as a slave to all; considering others as more important than themselves; because of love.Matthew 20:25-28, Mark 10:42-45, Luke 22:24-27, 1 Corinthians 9:19-27, Philippians 2:1-16. But in their unbelief and in this lack of faith; their self preservation, the chief priests and Pharisees, much like many in The Church today, could not see it, they did not want to see it, and it was shown in their saying themselves that if JESUS was allowed to carry on that all men would believe in HIM (which was and is The Will Of GOD The FATHER; Mark 9:7) that they would lose their place (Matthew 23, Luke 16:14-15, John 12:42-43) and in their own belief and fear of this that the Romans would take away their nation. This of course happened anyway in A.D. 70, just as JESUS HIMSELF Prophesied; because they did not believe in HIM; Mark 13:2, Luke 13:33-35, Luke 19:41-44. And such a worse destruction; an eternal destruction, shall be for all now who do not believe in JESUS CHRIST being in accordance with The Truth. 2 Thessalonians 1. Many today who present as pastors and whatever else in HIS Name, set themselves up as an idol in their own heart and consequently they ultimately look to serve themselves and to be served themselves by others. ...And the high priest (John 18:24 - 19:16) stood up and came forward and questioned JESUS, saying,"Do YOU make no answer? What is it that these men are testifying against YOU?" But HE kept silent and made no answer. Again the high priest was questioning HIM, "Are YOU The CHRIST, The SON Of The BLESSED ONE?" And JESUS Said, "I AM; And you shall see The SON Of MAN Sitting at the Right Hand Of Power and Coming With The Clouds Of Heaven." And tearing his clothes, the high priest said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?"You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?"(Bear in mind, to the reaction and outburst of the high priest that they would not have dared themselves to openly contradict the high priest, so their answer to his question was simply more of a formality)And they all condemned HIM to be deserving of death.And some began to spit at HIM and to beat HIM with their fists and to say to HIM, "Prophesy!" And the officers received HIM with slaps.Mark 14:60-65. But a man Of GOD in Truth, in the fear of The LORD, understands, thinks and acts thus: ...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 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 is and is from love. As I shared and showed in the posting previous to this one and from The Word Of GOD, Unrequited love or unpaid wages, of what the love Of GOD in the true believer is and means, it is to be mindful, that those in Scripture, being of The Body Of CHRIST, HIS Church; who call HIM LORD, that they, with the Gift of Prophecy, of performing Miracles, and who cast out demons in HIS Name, shall be told by The LORD HIMSELF, "I never Knew you; Depart from ME, you who practice lawlessness." Matthew 7:21-23. This is because love is the fulfillment of The Law; and not all have faith working through love; not all have faith to the Preserving of the soul (Hebrews 10:32-39). To speak without love is to be as a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. To have the Gift of Prophecy, to know all mysteries, all knowledge and having faith so as to move mountains, yet being without love, then we are nobody, nothing, nought. Giving possessions in that we supply to feed but yet do not have love, it profits us nought.Remember the poor widow, Mark 12:41-44. It is our heart and its Cleansing so that we become imitators of GOD, which truly matters (Exodus 35:21-29, Acts 11:29). ...Now HE WHO Supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will Supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your Righteousness;you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to GOD. For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the Saints, but is also overflowing through many thanks to GOD. Because of the proof given by this ministry they will glorify GOD for obedience to your confession of The Gospel Of CHRIST and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all, while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing Grace Of GOD in you.Thanks be to GOD for HIS Indescribable Gift!2 Corinthians 9:10-15. A willing offering to The LORD of every man and woman whose heart makes them willing. And all is to HIS Praise and Glory. ..."But if GOD so arrays the grass of the field, which is today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, not much more you, O men of little faith?"Do not be anxious then, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we clothe ourselves?'"For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your Heavenly FATHER Knows that you need all these things. "But seek first HIS Kingdom and HIS Righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you."Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own...Matthew 6:30-34. Again, as Paul writes, ...Love never fails; but if Prophecy, they will be done away; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be rendered idle;...1 Corinthians 13:8-9. Only love; only that which cannot be shaken (by implication, destroyed: Matthew 7:24-25, John 12:44-50, 1 Peter 1:22-25, John 13:34-35, John 14:15-18, Hebrews 12:25 - 13:1), will remain. ...By this, love is perfected with us, that we may have confidence in The Day Of Judgement; because as HE is, so also are we in this world...1 John 4:17. What are you being shown, taught and given the example of and for in each day you sojourn here on earth by your Pastors, teachers and elders or whoever else it is that you seek for all your Spiritual knowledge and discernment? Who is it you walk believing in? Is it GOD or is it man? (Psalm 146). ..."Therefore I testify to you this day, that I am innocent of the blood of all men."For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole Purpose Of GOD. "Be on guard for yourselves and for all the Flock, among which The HOLY SPIRIT has made you overseers, to shepherd The Church Of GOD Which HE Purchased With HIS Own Blood."I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the Flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. "Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears."And now I commend you to GOD and to The Word Of HIS Grace, which is able to Build Up and to give the Inheritance among all those who are Sanctified...Acts 20:26-32. ...Test yourselves if you are in The faith; examine yourselves!Or do you not recognise this about yourselves, that JESUS CHRIST is In you - unless indeed you fail the test?...2 Corinthians 13:5. Because just as The LORD JESUS CHRIST Came into the world to Bear Witness to The Truth (John 18:36-37, John 14:6) and we, as the true believers in HIM; HIS Disciples, know to seek only to bear witness to and of HIM through our faith in JESUS CHRIST The SON Of GOD, we cannot, we do not, bear witness to ourselves in anything in matters pertaining to GOD.But we are (to be) Sent into the world just as The FATHER Sent The SON into the world; that by HIS SPIRIT HE Bears Witness to The Truth; in us and through us: Just as Paul writes, ...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 4:5-7. And just as JESUS HIMSELF Says and means of and for us: ..."They are not of the world, even as (inasmuch as) I AM not of the world."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 17:16-18.

Unrequited love, or, unpaid wages (the wages of sin is death) through and because of the love Of GOD being Manifested in the one who truly lives by faith in JESUS? It is vitally important for you to know how you stand and walk, in and by your own understanding; whether you are walking according to the flesh or are of those who walk according to The SPIRIT. ...For we must all stand before The Judgement Seat Of CHRIST, that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.Therefore knowing the fear of The LORD, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to GOD; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences...2 Corinthians 5:10-11 We of ourselves alone, do not, cannot, determine which is true of ourselves and whether or not we have the love Of GOD in ourselves; walking abiding in the love Of GOD.Though many actually do live believing in and of themselves that they are in right standing before The ALMIGHTY. ...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... Jude:20-21. Yet it is GOD Alone WHO Justifies the ungodly (Psalm 19:12-14, Psalm 143:1-2, Romans 4:4-8). ...Every man's way is right in his own eyes, but The LORD Weighs the hearts...Proverbs 21:2. There are those who believe, preach and teach that what Paul writes here in 2 Corinthians 5:10 speaks of standing before The LORD in regards to receiving rewards. They believe this because they believe in a teaching which excludes themselves from being able to forfeit Salvation.I have heard it and it is a lie. I have heard it from a man who stands as a pastor and who refuses to be corrected by The Word when his own beliefs and understandings and interpretations of Scripture and The Way Of GOD actually do conflict with The Word and Way Of GOD in Truth.And also with this, it depends on him and in his own judgement, his own foresight also as to the one attempting to show it to him.But it does not. It does not. What Christian will want to stand before The LORD to be recompensed for what bad things they have done, word or deed?! And where in Scripture, anywhere, does GOD Reward what is contrary to HIM and for any lacking that which should be possessed by HIS followers? We ourselves do not determine what we should possess.The fruit Of The SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no Law.Now those who belong to CHRIST JESUS have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires... Galatians 5:22-24. The word in 2 Corinthians 5:10 which is translated here, and in the only place in Scripture into English as 'bad,' is, in the original Greek, 'kakos.'It indicates the lack in a person of those qualities which should be possessed. 'Kakos' is the opposite of 'good,' the Greek, 'agathos.''Kakos' is also translated elsewhere in Scripture for whatever is evil: in character; Mark 7:21, of speech; Matthew 5:11 & 1 Peter 3:10, of actions; 2 Timothy 4:18 & 1 Thessalonians 5:15, and of man; Matthew 18:32-33 & Matthew 24:48-51.'Kakos' is also translated in Scripture as, harm, wrong, noisome, wicked. How can one be standing before The LORD to be provided with the consequence of wrong doing, in whatever form of wrong doing it may be; lacking the qualities that should have been possessed, (and clearly such a belief of interpretation is not upheld in the context as is written in 2 Corinthians 5), that this is spoken being in relation to good rewards? And also, when the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST who were and are Apostles by The Will Of GOD, state, and all in agreement with one another; being of one heart and mind, such as, ...Beloved, now we are children Of GOD and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be.We know that, when HE Appears, we shall be like HIM, because we shall see HIM just as HE Is. And everyone who has this Hope on HIM purifies himself, just as HE Is Pure. Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness (Matthew 7:21-23).And you know that HE Appeared in order to take away sins; and in HIM there is no sin. No one who abides in HIM sins; no one who sins has seen HIM or knows HIM. Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as HE Is Righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The SON Of GOD Appeared for this purpose, that HE might Destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born Of GOD practices sin (because they will recognise sin; desire repentance and know repentance so as to die to sin to live to Righteousness and they will not desire to continue in sin; Romans 6, 2 Corinthians 4:16), because HIS Seed Abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born Of GOD. 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 3:2-10. Such men who will believe and preach this are, as yet at least and all the while apart from repentance, truly unknowing, both of The Sacred Writings which are able to give us the wisdom that leads to Salvation through faith which is in CHRIST JESUS, and accordingly, of what truly constitutes Righteous conduct in that we practice Righteousness, of keeping the Greatest and foremost Commandment and the second one which is like it, and what this actually means and will mean of us in our words and our deeds:Seeing as they will arrogantly believe of themselves and claim that they are in The faith, yet they are unknowing of examining themselves to see if JESUS CHRIST is in them: HE WHO Loved with the love Of GOD and WHO Calls all, Saying: "This Is MY Commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you... John 15:12.And,"If you love ME you will keep MY Commandments."And I will Ask The FATHER and HE Will Give you another Helper, that HE may be with you forever; The SPIRIT Of Truth, WHOM the world cannot receive, because it does not behold HIM or know HIM. You know HIM because HE Abides with you and will be in you."I will not leave you as orphans; I Will Come to you... John 14:15-18. We are Called throughout Scripture to being Conformed to HIS Image; JESUS being the First-Born of many Brethren (John 17:15-26, Romans 8:28-29, 1 John 2:1-7). We are not of the Brethren because we claim of ourselves that we are Christian. But our fruit shall testify to The Truth Of GOD, or not; The HOLY SPIRIT Bearing Witness with our spirit that we are children Of GOD; Romans 8:12-17, and all being in accordance with HIS Word only. ...But put on The LORD JESUS CHRIST and make no provision for the flesh in regard to lusts.Romans 13:14 ... just as HE Chose us In HIM before the Foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and blameless before HIM in love...Ephesians 1:3-14 (v4). Those as will believe such as this and who do not recognise the need of repentance in the things in which they, before GOD, are sinning and remain blind to, are those you will often find who, though they themselves present as Christian, whether that be pastors or whatever else, are quick to reject, judge and condemn others, misapplying certain Scripture such as 2 Peter 2:12-22 to some, and all in their own knowledge, wisdom and foresight in any particular matter; being completely contrary to JESUS CHRIST and The Will and Word Of GOD. When doing so and in their doing so, do they not themselves revile where they have no knowledge? But both the giving of praise and of final judgement belong only to GOD, and HIS ministers will speak only of the same when being in possession of all the facts and in complete agreement with all HIS Word; knowing that they too shall be Judged by that same standard of measure; no partiality.(1 Corinthians 9:19-27, 2 Timothy 2:1-15, Matthew 13:24-43). ... Therefore do not go on passing judgement before The Time (The Appointed Time of Judgement), until The LORD Comes WHO will both Bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and Disclose the motives of hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from GOD...1 Corinthians 4:5. And as Paul continues to write here, we are admonished not to exceed what is Written (In The Word Of GOD; 2 John:6-11), in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against the other. ... For who regards you as superior?And what do you have that you did not Receive?But if you did Receive it, why do you boast as though you did not Receive it?1 Corinthians 4:7. Ours is to be Righteous judgement in all matters.Though the children Of GOD and the children of the devil are (and should be) obvious; this does not permit final judgement in accusation and condemnation and such an attitude in the heart and mind of any Christian. How does it leave room for repentance? It does not.How does it leave room for forgiveness? It does not. There is no love; no desire to do good to all others in such a one as will know to uphold accusation in judgement and condemnation; regarding and condemning another as without hope in the world and destined only to burn. ..."Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is The Law and the Prophets."Enter by the Narrow Gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it."For the Gate is small and The Way is Narrow that leads to Life, and few are those who find it."Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn, nor figs from thistles, are they?"Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit...Matthew 7:12-17. GOD did not Send The SON into the world to Judge the world, but that the world should be Saved Through HIM (John 3:14-21).This is love. There is nothing of love, nothing of grace, nothing of mercy, nothing of true understanding, nothing of humility; nothing of JESUS CHRIST in such a one who determines himself to stand as judge over another (James 4:11-12) The one who denies GOD and who repudiates The Word Of GOD for the sake of his own words, actions, beliefs and interpretations of GOD'S Word; this one himself stands being self-condemned.Only GOD Sees the end from the beginning. Before they happen, GOD Alone Knows (Psalm 139, Isaiah 44:6-8, Hebrews 4:12-13). And The Righteous Judge, when HE Shall be Revealed from Heaven with HIS mighty angels in Flaming Fire, shall deal out HIS Retribution to those who do not know GOD and to those who do not obey The Gospel Of our LORD JESUS.And these will pay the penalty of Eternal Destruction, away from The Presence Of The LORD and from The Glory Of HIS Power. (2 Thessalonians 1, Romans 2:1-16). The Mighty ONE, GOD, The LORD, Has Spoken and Summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.Out of Zion, The Perfection Of Beauty, GOD Has Shone Forth. May our GOD Come and not keep silence; Fire Devours Before HIM And It Is Very Tempestuous Around HIM. HE Summons the Heavens above and the earth, to Judge HIS people:"Gather MY Godly ones to ME, those who have made a covenant with ME by sacrifice."And the Heavens declare HIS Righteousness, for GOD HIMSELF Is Judge. [ Selah.Psalm 50:1-6. Love that is the fulfillment of The Law is benevolence: the desire to do good to all others; even our enemies (Luke 6:35-37). 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 GOD, for GOD Is love.By this the love Of GOD was Manifested in us, that GOD Has Sent HIS Only Begotten SON into the world so that we might live Through HIM.In this is love, not that we loved GOD, but that HE loved us and Sent HIS SON The Propitiation for our sins.2 John 4:7-10. Here, verse 7; Those dear and worthy of love, let us in a social and moral sense love reciprocally, because the desire to do good to all others is through GOD; indeed whosoever loves in a social and moral sense is of and from GOD and absolutely knows to understand GOD.Verse 8; The one who does not love does not perceive so as to understand GOD; for GOD Is love: GOD is benevolence: a desire to do good to all others.Verse 9; By this was the benevolence Of GOD readily perceived by the eye and the understanding in us, that GOD Sent HIS Only Begotten SON into the world, in order that we live by reason of HIM.Verse 10; With the same, JESUS, means benevolence, since it was not that we loved GOD (in a social and moral sense), but indeed since The FATHER loved us (in a social and moral sense) and Sent HIS SON, The Propitiation for our sins. ...And we have come to know and have believed the love which GOD has for us.GOD Is love, and the one who abides in love abides in GOD and GOD abides in him.By this, love is Perfected with us, that we may have confidence in The Day Of Judgement; because as HE Is, so also are we in this world...1 John 4:16-17. But not all have come to know and have believed the love which GOD has for us, which in turn, Through HIM, we ourselves shall, in that we do, according to GOD, abide in love.What John writes here does not automatically apply to us just because we say we are Christians. See Luke 7:36-50, and the woman judged a sinner by Simon the Pharisee.The LORD JESUS, Knowing his reasoning of this woman, says to him the Parable of the two debtors, which, to The LORD'S question afterwards he is told by The LORD that he answers correctly. Notice what The LORD Says written in verses 47 & 50. "He who is forgiven little, loves little."There is warning to us all here. As Paul writes,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 with a love incorruptible.Ephesians 6:23-24. As The LORD Said to her, "Your faith has Saved you; go in peace." Her sins, which were many, were Forgiven for she loved much.Mercy triumphs over judgement. We stand in Grace only through faith. We have peace with GOD Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Through WHOM also we obtain our introduction, by faith alone, into this Grace in which we stand. To us now, since JESUS CHRIST was Glorified (crucified and Resurrected the third day; John 7:37-39, Romans 1:4, Acts 1:7-8) by and through a Saving faith in HIM we shall know repentance for the Forgiveness of our sins; through which we Receive The HOLY SPIRIT (Acts 2:38) that we may know the love Of GOD Poured Out within our hearts Through The HOLY SPIRIT WHO Was Given to us (Romans 5:1-5) and may fully obey JESUS CHRIST (1 Peter 1:2). If we love GOD then we will keep HIS Commandments and the more we understand HIS Grace to us the more we can and will only be able to love HIM more; and will ourselves have and know grace, peace and love towards all others. We shall know humility, by Grace through faith. ...Grace and Peace be multiplied to you in the Knowledge Of GOD and Of JESUS our LORD...2 Peter 1:2. One who is Forgiven 'little,' the Greek word 'oligos,' meaning 'little' or 'few,' being the opposite of 'much' the Greek 'polus', loves little. If we are walking in ignorance of The Truth, not knowing that we are sinning and so we walk continuing in sin; we ourselves remain slaves to sin and are not walking as slaves of Righteousness (Romans 6, John 8:31-36). Consequently, we do not know repentance in the sins we are ignorant to and so we do not have Forgiveness, as The Message Of The Gospel is repentance for Forgiveness of sins (Luke 24:44-47).And it will be shown in our manner, our lack of faith, our lack of humility; our walking contrary to JESUS CHRIST; not truly confessing JESUS CHRIST before men; which means our not thinking and speaking the same as HIM and not learning to do so (Matthew 10:32-33, Luke 12:8-10). See the example of James and John in Luke 9:51-56. Then see the love in John's letters.Through a Saving faith, there shall be a New creature.He who is Forgiven little, loves little. 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.And if I give all my possessions to feed and if I deliver my body that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing...1 Corinthians 13:1-3. "You will know them by their fruits." It is the love of CHRIST that controls us, and we who live no longer live for ourselves but for HIM WHO Died and Rose again on our behalf (2 Corinthians 5:14-19). These are a New creature; the old things, the old ways having perished and are perishing; the whole being is becoming New, thus is our having been reconciled to GOD Through JESUS CHRIST.This is how 2 Corinthians 5 is to be understood; just as Paul continues into chapter 6 of not receiving The Grace Of GOD in vain. But may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a New creation.And those who will walk by this rule, Peace and Mercy upon them, and upon the Israel Of GOD (Romans 9:6-8).Galatians 6:14-16. ..."Either make the tree good and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit...Matthew 12:33. Faith working through love (Galatians 5:6). 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 which 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 (Matthew 5:43-48). ...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 has Forgiven you. Ephesians 4:31-32. Many today profess to be followers of CHRIST and will speak of love.But they simply do not understand exactly what this is to mean of and for ourselves, in how we will now perceive both ourselves and all others in all our words and deeds in and through love which implicitly desires to do good to all others. ..."And just as you want people to treat you, treat them in the same way.. Luke 6:20-49 (v31). ...So speak and so act as those who are to be Judged by Law of Liberty.For Judgement will be Merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgement. James 2:12-13. In The New Testament Scriptures the Christians we read of and from truly knew of having the love Of GOD in themselves, and is why we read such as: ...And all those who believed together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.And day by day continuing with one mind in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising GOD and having favour with all the people.And The LORD was adding to their number day by day those who were being Saved.Acts 2:44-47. ...And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one claimed that anything belonging to him was his own; but all things were common property to them.And with Great Power the Apostles were giving witness to the Resurrection of The LORD JESUS and abundant Grace was upon them all.For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the Apostle's feet; and they would be distributed to each, as any had need...Acts 4:32-36. It is why Paul would write, and it was fully understood by those Of GOD he wrote to, with the Instruction: ... 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.For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.But let each one examine his own work and then he will have boasting (2 Corinthians 1:12) in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another (1 Corinthians 4:7)...Galatians 6:1-4. Where is such a spirit of gentleness borne out of the love and understanding Of GOD today in and among Christians?Where is recognising that we are all sinners Saved by Grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST and will all, for many differing reasons, stumble in our walk along the way?(Isaiah 35:3-10, Matthew 18:12-15, Romans 15:1-7, Hebrews 13:1 & v3, James 5:19-20). Where is such a desire to do good to others and understanding that any material things we may have, we, in grace and love, shall consider them as no longer our own property but as being common property to all as any might have need?Not that one be left wanting and in need themselves, but that all have enough to not being in need.(2 Corinthians 8:1 - 9:15). Where is this being of one mind we read of, knowing it was once and that we should know it still as being of The Way Of GOD; sincerity of heart, so that through us The LORD Adds day by day those who are being Saved? Why are these things not there today? Where is such as this in the hearts, minds and the will of Christians today?: ...For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Saints in Jerusalem.Yes, they were pleased and they are indebted to them.For if the Gentiles have shared in their Spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things...Romans 15:26-27. (James 2:14-26). It is something we read about, though we do not see to recognise it in order to hear it. And we cannot recognise it because love is grown cold.We do not recognise it because of false doctrine, false teachers; wolves in sheep's clothing and many believe in and follow after them, in all where The HOLY SPIRIT is not. "Truly, truly, I Say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."He who loves his life loses it; and he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to Eternal Life."If anyone serves ME, let him follow ME; and where I AM, there shall MY servant also be; if anyone serves ME, The FATHER Will honour him. John 12:24-26. ..."MY sheep hear MY Voice and I Know them and they follow ME; and I Give Eternal Life to them and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of MY Hand."What MY FATHER Has Given ME is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch out of The FATHER'S Hand."I And The FATHER Are ONE." John 10:27-30. Who of professing Christians today know what GOD HIMSELF States in HIS Word of what means to know HIM? Knowing to actually do these things for followers of JESUS CHRIST and for all has been since that time and is now and it shall be until The Day Of CHRIST. (Galatians 6:7-10)It is the very nature of a Christian in truth.And any who will choose to refuse what I say here, read Matthew 25 and take note of The Judgement. Those whom The LORD HIMSELF Names as being the Righteous know to do the things The LORD Says they have done for others; and in doing to others they have done so to HIM; because it has become their very nature to do so.They have the love Of GOD; the desire to do good to others abiding in themselves. But the ones The LORD names as being accursed did not, because they could not see to recognise the needs of others; because they did not have the love Of GOD abiding in themselves.And these will go away into Eternal Punishment, but the Righteous into Eternal Life. v46. "Behold, you fast for contention and strife and to strike with a wicked fist.You do not fast like today to make your voice heard On High."Is it a fast like this which I Choose, a day for a man to humble himself?It is for bowing one's head like a reed and for spreading out sackcloth and ashes as a bed?Will you call this a fast, even an acceptable day to The LORD? "Is this not the fast which I Choose, to loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke and to let the oppressed go free and break every yoke? "Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and to bring the homeless poor into the house; and when you see the naked, to cover him; and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? "Then your light will break out like the dawn and your recovery will speedily spring forth; and your Righteousness will go before you; The Glory Of The LORD will be your Rear Guard. "Then you will call and The LORD Will Answer; you will cry and HE Will Say, 'Here I AM.'If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness.And if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness and your gloom like midday. "And The LORD Will Continually Guide you and Satisfy your desire in scorched places and Give Strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. "And those from among you will Rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the Age-old Foundations; and you will be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of the streets in which to dwell...Isaiah 58:4-12. The fact that it is not known by many professing Christians today merely shows how far removed The Church is today from how, according to GOD, we are Called to be. It shows just how many are believing in false doctrine, following false teachers, who walk believing in their own righteousness, not understanding and being able to recognise the fruit of Righteousness in their own or other's lives. And those who do not know to love; according to GOD and HIS Words; HIS SPIRIT, these do not know GOD; and those who do not know GOD do not have Eternal Life abiding in them; because to know The Only True GOD And JESUS CHRIST WHOM He Has Sent is Eternal Life. "And this is Eternal Life, that they may know THEE, The Only True GOD, and JESUS CHRIST WHOM THOU Hast Sent..."John 17:3. Many who today profess The Name will reject what I say because it rejects their own standing in The Name of a Christian. Many today will reject me and what I say here because it rejects what they understand and even preach and teach and uphold in The Name of a Christian. If any believe that I am wrong in what I write, then show it and confirm it from The Word Of GOD alone; holding not one contradiction.And if you cannot, then take heed. ..."But he who practices The Truth comes to The Light, that his deeds may be Manifested as having been Wrought In GOD.John 3:21. It is what Paul means in his writing, ...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...Ephesians 4:21-25, and so on throughout all this letter. Let not many become teachers, my Brethren, knowing that as such we shall incur a stricter Judgement.For we all stumble in many ways.If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well... James 3:1-2. Our mouth speaks from that which fills our heart. As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man. Proverbs 27:19. ...The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil out of the evil brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart."And why do you call ME, 'LORD, LORD,' and do not do what I Say?"Everyone who comes to ME and hears MY Words and acts upon them, I will show you whom he is like:he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood rose, the torrents burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. "But the one who has heard and has not acted is like a man who built a house upon the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed and the ruin of that house was great." Luke 6:54-49. ...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 1:22-25. Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow The Springs Of Life.Proverbs 4:23 The Counsel Of The LORD stands forever, the Plans Of HIS Heart from generation to generation.Blessed is the nation whose GOD Is The LORD, the people whom HE Has Chosen for HIS Own Inheritance.Psalm 33:11-22. "Hear, O earth: behold, I AM Bringing disaster Upon this people, the fruit of their plans, because they have not listened to MY Words, and as for MY Law, they have rejected It also.Jeremiah 6:19 We walk in this life; in The Kingdom Of GOD, that is, in The Rule Of GOD; bearing fruit for Eternal Life that The Entrance into The Eternal Kingdom may be abundantly Supplied to us (2 Peter 1:1-11).Our living must bear the fruit of The Kingdom Of GOD. ...JESUS Said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures,'The Stone Which the builders rejected, This Became The Chief Corner Stone;This came about from The LORD and It Is Marvelous in our eyes'?"Therefore I Say to you, the Kingdom Of GOD will be taken away from you and be given to a nation producing the fruit of It."And he who falls on this Stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."Matthew 21:33-44 (v41-44). "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man."For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride foolishness."All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man." Mark 7:20-23. What is in our heart is the man we are in both our words and deeds. But Christianity to many today is just a Name, and A Name which alone cannot and will not save them. The LORD HIMSELF Says and warns of it.And apart from repentance it shall not Save them from The Wrath Of GOD to come. "And to the angel of The Church in Sardis write:HE WHO Has The Seven Spirits Of GOD And The Seven Stars, Says this: 'I Know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.'Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not Found your deeds Completed in The Sight Of MY GOD. 'Remember therefore what you have Received and heard; and keep and repent.If therefore you will not wake up, I Will Come like a thief and you will not know at what hour I Will Come Upon you. 'But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with ME in white; for they are worthy. 'He who overcomes shall thus be Clothed in white garments (Revelation 19:7-10); 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 3:1-6. For those with eyes to see and with ears to hear, look at the comparison in The LORD'S Words to the angel of The Church in Philadelphia; which means, Brotherly love, "And to the angel of The Church in Philadelphia write:HE WHO Is Holy, WHO Is True, WHO Has The Key of David, WHO Opens and no one will shut and WHO Shuts and no one opens, Says this: 'I Know your deeds. Behold, I Have Put before you an Open door which no one can shut, because you have a little Power and have kept MY Word and have not denied MY Name.'Behold, I Will Cause of the synagogue of satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie - behold, I Will Make them come and bow down at your feet and to know that I Have loved you. 'Because you have kept The Word of MY Perseverance, I Will Also Keep you from the hour of testing, that which is to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. '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 3:7-13. And then hear The LORD'S Words to the angel of The Church in Laodicea; which means, Justice of the people, "And to the angel of The Church in Laodicea write:The AMEN, The Faithful And True Witness, The Beginning Of The Creation Of GOD, Says this: 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I Would that you were cold or hot.'So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I Will Spit you Out of MY Mouth.'Because you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I Advise you to buy from ME gold refined by fire, that you may become Rich and white garments, that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eyesalve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. '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 Dine with him and he With ME. 'He who overcomes, I Will Grant to 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 3:14-21. Christian love is the fruit Of The HOLY SPIRIT in the Christian (Galatians 5:22-26). This love seeks the wellbeing of all; both those of The Household Of The faith and of all others (Romans 15:2-6, Galatians 6:7-10). In that we are Called to love our enemies (Matthew 5:43-48, Luke 6:27-28, Luke 6:35-37) it stands that this love does not run with our natural, fleshly inclinations. Neither does this love Of GOD, being without hypocrisy and promoted in growth in the true believer, rest only on those whom there is affinity with (Romans 13:8-10). The Commandment Of GOD, for us to love The LORD our GOD with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, is expressed in the constant towards The Beauty Of Perfection: GOD HIMSELF; in reverence and awe, and through this is love toward our neighbour; being whoever and wherever whoever it is may be and is; and it is as a constant; Love without hypocrisy (Romans 12:9-21). In this love is the constant of desiring others also know to seek to know The ONE From WHOM is Salvation, through faith in JESUS CHRIST; Sanctification By The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth.Hence we are always to conduct ourselves with wisdom toward outsiders (Colossians 4:5-6). This is why it is essential to our being perfected in unity; always seeking to uphold the unity Of The SPIRIT in the Bond of Peace (Ephesians 4:1-25), that the world may know that The FATHER Sent The SON into the world, and loves us, even as HE loved The SON (John 17:16-26); because we walk as loved by GOD (Romans 1:7, Colossians 3:12-17), and showing in all our words and deeds; because we keep HIS Commandments (John 14:21 & v 23-24). Love is why mercy; the outward manifestation of pity, recognising the need on the part of the one who receives it and is in need, and it is always adequate for the need of the moment; this triumphs over judgement (James 2:12-13, Galatians 6:1-4). Love does no wrong to a neighbour; love therefore is the fulfillment of The Law.Romans 13:10. 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. 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. Let The Word Of CHRIST Richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with Psalms, hymns, Spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to GOD. And whatever you do in word or deed, all in The Name Of The LORD JESUS, giving thanks Through HIM to GOD The FATHER.Colossians 3:12-17. Test yourselves if you are in The faith; examine yourselves!Or do you not recognise this about yourselves, that JESUS CHRIST Is In you - unless indeed you fail the test?2 Corinthians 13:5.

Faith & The Kingdom Of GOD: recognising the natural that opposes The Divine Nature. And this I pray, that your love may abound still 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. ...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 Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in The Sight Of GOD...2 Corinthians 3:17 - 4:2. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour.They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us... 1 John 2:18-19 But The SPIRIT Explicitly Says that in later times some will fall away from The faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron...1 Timothy 4:1-2. As John writes in 1 John 2:18-19,There are many adversaries of MESSIAH. They go out as followers of CHRIST, but by how they walk, what they preach and teach it is not of the teaching of the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. If they were of the Apostles teaching; who are Apostles By The Will Of GOD, then they would not, could not, preach and teach contrary to the Apostles teaching.Nevertheless, in order to make manifest that not all who profess to be Christian believe in accordance with the Apostles teaching, they are shown that they are not of the Apostles teaching; and so not of us who believe and receiving the love of The Truth so as to be Saved. And we need as a must to be able recognise such as these and to turn away from them. Whoever stands with the Apostles as being of one heart and mind with them in all they believe, preach and accept being of The Truth Of GOD; just as Paul writes in another place, exhorting the Brethren by The Name Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, to all agree, that there be no divisions among us, but to be made complete, by which he means our being perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement (1 Corinthians 1:10), such as these are those to whom John continues to write to in what we have portioned as the second chapter of his first letter, writing to say; ...But you have an Anointing from The Holy ONE and you all know.I have not written to you because you do not know The Truth, but because you do know it and because no lie is of The Truth. Who is the liar but the one who denies that JESUS Is The CHRIST?This is the antichrist, the one who denies The FATHER and The SON.Whoever denies The SON does not have The FATHER; the one who confesses The SON has The FATHER also...1 John 2:20-23. And what does this mean, "Who is the liar but the one who denies that JESUS Is The CHRIST"? Prophecy says of HIM, that whoever will not listen to The LORD GOD'S Words which HE shall Speak in The FATHER'S Name, GOD HIMSELF shall require it of him (Deuteronomy 18:15-22, Acts 3:22-23). "This is The Work Of GOD, that you believe in HIM WHOM HE Has Sent." John 6:26-69 (v29). GOD The FATHER Says Of HIM,"This Is MY Beloved SON, With WHOM I AM Well-Pleased: listen to HIM!" (Matthew 17:5, Luke 9:35). For this reason we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away.For if The Word spoken through angels proved unalterable and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense, how shall we escape if we neglect so Great a Salvation?After it was at the first Spoken Through The LORD, it was confirmed to us by those who heard, GOD also bearing Witness with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by Gifts Of The HOLY SPIRIT according to HIS Own Will (1 Corinthians 12:4-11)...Hebrews 2:1-4. To deny JESUS Is The CHRIST means, if we deny anything whatsoever that JESUS The Nazarene Says, then we are denying that JESUS Is The CHRIST and we are a liar.This is the antichrist, the one who denies The FATHER and The SON.Whoever denies The SON does not have The FATHER; the one who confesses The SON has The FATHER also... Who today in The Church truly knows to consider what John means in his writing, many antichrists have arisen? Who today in The Church truly understands what is meant in the word, antichrist? It means, simply, 'an opponent of MESSIAH,' and the word is found only in John's letters:1 John 2:18, 1 John 2:22, 1 John 4:3, 2 John:7. To confess JESUS CHRIST means literally to speak the same thing: the Greek word, homologeō (homos, same, legō, to speak), to assent, accord, agree with JESUS CHRIST. See 1John 4. ..."Everyone therefore who shall confess ME before men, I Will also Confess him before MY FATHER WHO Is In Heaven."But whoever shall deny ME before men, I Will also Deny him before MY FATHER WHO Is In Heaven...Matthew 10:32-33. Here, I Will also Confess him before MY FATHER..." W.E.Vine, a man regarded as having expert mastery of New Testament Greek, states, 'the construction of this verb, Homologeō with en, in, has a special significance... ...conveys the thought of confessing allegiance to CHRIST as one's MASTER And LORD, and, on the other hand, of acknowledgement, on HIS part, of the faithful one as being HIS worshipper and servant, HIS loyal follower; this is appropriate to the original idea in homologeō of being identified in thought or language.' "And I Say to you, everyone who confesses ME before men, The SON Of Man shall Confess him also before the angels Of GOD; but he who denies ME before men shall be Denied before the angels Of GOD."And everyone who will speak a word against The SON Of Man, it shall be Forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against The HOLY SPIRIT, it shall not be Forgiven him...Luke 12:8-10. As Christians, The Commandment we have had from the beginning is, that we love one another. "A new Commandment I Give to you, that you love one another, even as I Have loved you, that you also love one another."By this all men will know that you are MY Disciples, if you have love for one another."John 13:34-35. Just as Paul; an Apostle By The Will Of GOD (Galatians 1:1, Colossians 1:1), says,For you have been Called to Freedom, Brethren (John 8:31-36); only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh (and consequently remain in sin: Romans 8:6, James 1:14-15, Galatians 6:8), but through love serve one another.For the whole Law is fulfilled in one Word, in the,"You shall love your neighbour as yourself." But if you bite and devour one another, take care lest you be consumed by one another. But I say, walk by The SPIRIT and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh...Galatians 5:13-16. The Apostle John writes,And this is love, that we walk according to HIS Commandments.This is The Commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.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. 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. If anyone comes to you and does not bring This Teaching, do not receive him into house and do not give him a greeting; for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds... 2 John:6-11. And as Luke directly quotes The LORD JESUS in his Gospel account, Speaking of those HE Sends out (& recognise John 17:22-26)."The one who listens to you listens to ME, and the one who rejects you rejects ME; and he who rejects ME rejects The ONE WHO Sent ME." Luke 10:16. ..."And why do you call ME, 'LORD, LORD,' and do not do what I Say?"Everyone who comes to ME, and hears MY Words, and (indeed) acts upon them, I will Show you whom he is like:He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood rose, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. "But the one who has heard, and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house upon the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great." Luke 6:46-49. Many waters cannot quench love, nor will rivers overflow it (Song of Solomon 8:6-7). The things which cannot be shaken will remain (Hebrews 12:25 - 13:1). No man can lay a foundation other than The One Which Is Laid, which is JESUS CHRIST (1 Corinthians 3, 2 Peter 3:7-18). Obedience of faith is from the heart and it is the purpose Of GOD, just as, accordingly, it was and is the purpose of the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, through whom also we have the New Testament written; in The SPIRIT, and fulfillment of Old Testament Scriptures, that all who profess The Name (Acts 2:42, 1 Corinthians 10:32 - 11:2, Ephesians 2:19-22, Colossians 1:21-23) should know to truly understand the means of how any may indeed fully realise, according to GOD, the Sanctification without which no one will see The LORD (Hebrews 12:14-15): Obedience of faith in all their own living according to all The Word Of GOD. Our Sanctification comes through JESUS CHRIST and this is what The Bible speaks of our Sanctification; JESUS CHRIST Is to us Wisdom from GOD and Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30-32). The Will Of GOD is our Sanctification. It is a constant in all our walk.(1 Thessalonians 4:1-8) Salvation through Sanctification by The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth (2 Thessalonians 2:13-17). Sanctification Of The SPIRIT towards obedience and with this also The Sprinkling (Purifying) By The Blood Of JESUS CHRIST that we, being Saved By HIS Blood, have the Forgiveness of our sins, and thus we are the Chosen Of GOD (1 Peter 1:2). ...; but you were Washed, but you were Sanctified, but you were Justified In The Name Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST and In The SPIRIT Of our GOD.1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (v11). "Many are Called, but few Chosen." And our glory is that The LORD our GOD Is our Glory (2 Corinthians 4:6-15, 2 Corinthians 10:17-18, Ephesians 1:3-23). Now The LORD Is The SPIRIT; and where The SPIRIT Of The LORD is, there 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.2 Corinthians 3:17-18. ...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. (1 John 5:9-10). But we have this Treasure in earthen vessels (our fleshly bodies) that the Surpassing Greatness of The Power may be Of GOD and not from ourselves; afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body (our flesh) the dying Of JESUS, that the Life Of JESUS also may be Manifested in our body (Galatians 4:19).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 4:5-11. We are born Of The SPIRIT; the New birth, because GOD HIMSELF Says,"Truly, truly, I Say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see The Kingdom Of GOD." Except a person be born from Above, it is not possible to perceive The Rule Of GOD.John 3:3. "Truly, truly, I Say to you, unless one is born Of Water and The SPIRIT, he cannot enter into The Kingdom Of GOD. Unless a person be born of Water and The SPIRIT it is not possible to enter into The Rule Of GOD.John 3:5. ..."That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born Of The SPIRIT is Spirit."Do not marvel that I Said to you, 'You must be born again.'"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born Of The SPIRIT."John 3:6-8. Not all who profess faith in JESUS CHRIST have The HOLY SPIRIT, and we are to recognise them. 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 times 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... Jude:17-21. ...For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to The SPIRIT, the things Of The SPIRIT.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; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD.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...Romans 8:5-9. And Galatians 5:17. Through faith we receive; Acts 2:38. And so begins, By Grace through faith, The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT; Titus 3:4-8. This, that we may fully obey JESUS CHRIST and have Forgiveness of sins; 1 Peter 1:2; these being the Chosen Of GOD; those who truly know repentance and so through Godly repentance (2 Corinthians 7:9-11, Psalm 51:17), and this, as opposed to continuing in sin (Romans 6:1-23) thus they have the Forgiveness of sins (Luke 24:46-47). These, through this process, the day by day renewing of our inner man (2 Corinthians 4:16) are having The Law Of GOD Written on their hearts, according to Prophecy; (Jeremiah 31:33-34), so that now, as none could know and did know before (Romans 3:10-18), we may indeed establish The Law through faith; See Mark 12:28-34. ... Where then is boasting?It is excluded.By what kind of Law? Of works?No, but by a Law of faith.For we maintain that a man is Justified by faith apart from the works of The Law. Or is GOD of the Jews only?Is HE not The GOD of the Gentiles also?Yes, of the Gentiles also, since indeed GOD WHO Will Justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith Is ONE. Do we then nullify The Law through faith?May it never be!On the contrary, we establish The Law.Romans 3:27-31. ...For The Law Of The SPIRIT Of Life in CHRIST JESUS has set me Free from The Law of sin and of death.For what The Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE Condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT...Romans 8:2-4. In The Bible is written sometimes, The Kingdom Of GOD and sometimes, The Kingdom Of Heaven. The Kingdom Of GOD is the environment; condition; influence, of GOD'S Rule. Here now, on earth, being of The Kingdom Of GOD means those who are Spiritual, being in accordance with GOD and HIS Word, who have been born again to a Living Hope by Grace through faith, knowing The process of Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT; the leading Of The HOLY SPIRIT; the Godly morality; through their wilfully submitting to GOD'S Rule; living by Grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST, calling HIM LORD, in truth, because they obey HIM and always look to do so. Hence the need to be born again, John 3:3.These are of those who willingly put themselves under GOD'S Authority and those that do so, it will be shown in their words and deeds.See Psalm 145:8-13 to understand who those are that enter into The Everlasting Kingdom. These are those who truly believe in GOD Through JESUS CHRIST; being HIS Workmanship (Ephesians 2:8-10)These are of those who know obedience of faith in their living that though they walk in this world, they do not walk according to this world. See Romans 16:25-27.(The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart - that is, the word of faith which we are preaching). This is what those who profess The Name and yet will walk according to the flesh and being contrary to the Knowledge Of GOD do not understand.And for these, their unknowing is borne out in their words and deeds, in their beliefs and in their preaching, and in their not knowing Godly repentance so that the earnestness that Godly sorrow produces and with it the vindication of oneself that in everything contrary to The Will and Word Of GOD one will afterwards demonstrate themselves to be innocent, is clearly not evident in them; but instead, they continue and to justifying themselves so, like unreasoning animals, they remain doing the things that they please. ...For the flesh sets its desire against The SPIRIT and The SPIRIT Against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please... Galatians 5:17. The Word 'Kingdom' in the original Greek by which the New Testament was written, is the word 'Basileia'. It denotes, Sovereignty, Power, Dominion. In Luke 17:21, The LORD JESUS, having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when The Kingdom Of GOD was coming, Answered them,"The Kingdom Of GOD is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'There!'For behold, The Kingdom Of GOD Is In your midst." The LORD JESUS then Says to HIS Disciples warning, and of HIS Second Coming, and that HE must first suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. The word here in Luke 17:21 translated as 'midst' is the Greek word, 'entos'. It means, 'within'.JESUS is plainly telling the Pharisees in Answer to their questions, The Kingdom Of GOD is within you. And of course, also, though they did not recognise HIM, though they did not believe in HIM, they were standing before The KING Of Kings and LORD Of Lords Of That Kingdom. As Paul writes,...And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration Of The SPIRIT and Of Power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on The Power Of GOD. Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak GOD'S Wisdom in a Mystery, the hidden Wisdom which GOD Predestined before the ages to our Glory; which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified The LORD Of Glory;...1 Corinthians 2:4-8. CHRIST Dwells in our hearts through faith, so that we, being rooted and grounded in love (agape) may be able to comprehend with all the Saints...See Ephesians 3:14 - 4:6. 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...Romans 8:9. It is as Paul writes to The Church in Rome of the Righteousness based on faith, and bearing in mind that to call JESUS LORD is to then obey and look to obey all HIS Words,...But what does it say?"The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" - that is, The Word Of faith which we are preaching, that, if you confess with your mouth JESUS LORD and believe in your heart that GOD Raised HIM from the dead, you shall be Saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in Righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in Salvation.For the Scripture says,"Whoever believes in HIM will not be disappointed."Romans 10:8-11. Those who will walk, professing to believe and yet are walking, believing, speaking, behaving contrary to CHRIST and who, when shown, refuse to be corrected according to GOD'S Word; not knowing a contrite heart in what they do that is contrary to The Will and Word Of GOD, are not truly believing in HIM. ..."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...John 16:13. The Kingdom Of GOD is within you! Read 2 Peter 1, and see what Peter writes, in The SPIRIT, leading to his statement,...for in this way The Entrance into The Eternal Kingdom Of our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST will be be abundantly Supplied to you. Scripture clearly states that the entrance into The Kingdom Of GOD is by the New Birth; being born again, fleshly to Spiritual.As The LORD JESUS Says in Speaking with Nicodemus, ..."Truly, truly, I Say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see (see, in the sense to perceive) The Kingdom Of GOD."......"Truly, truly, I Say to you, unless one is born of water and The SPIRIT, he cannot enter into The Kingdom Of GOD."That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born Of The SPIRIT is Spirit."Do not marvel that I Said to you, 'You must be born again.'"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born Of The SPIRIT."John 3:3 & v 5-8. In another place, Paul writes,Now I say this, Brethren, that flesh and blood cannot Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD; nor does the perishable Inherit The Imperishable... 1 Corinthians 15:50. It is Spiritual. This New birth is evidenced by obedience of faith, which means being in accordance with all The Word Of GOD and never maintaining what is contrary to The Word Of GOD.And The ONE WHO Reveals The Profound and Hidden things (Spiritual things) is GOD. ...But to us GOD Revealed Through The SPIRIT; for The SPIRIT Searches all things, even The Depths Of GOD... ...But a natural man does not accept the things of The SPIRIT Of GOD; for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them, because they are Spiritually appraised.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 we should instruct HIM?But we have The Mind Of CHRIST.1 Corinthians 2:10 & v 14-16.(See Romans 8:2-10). In Acts 14, it is written of Paul and Barnabas,... strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in The faith, and saying, "Through many tribulations we must enter The Kingdom Of GOD."And when they had appointed elders for them in every Church, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to The LORD in WHOM they had believed...V 22-23. So, for example, in Matthew 24:11-14, taking The Words Of JESUS CHRIST in context, as taking Scripture in the context it is written should always be a rule applied in seeking to understand Scripture, The LORD JESUS is Saying, ..."And many false prophets will arise and will mislead many."And because lawlessness is increased, most people's love (agape) will grow cold."But the one who endures to the end, he shall be Saved."And This Good News of the Sovereignty, Power, Dominion (The Rule Of GOD) shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony borne to all the nations and then the end shall come... We know, because we are told in Scripture, that among Christians there are many who, though they walk professing The Name, they are but tares among wheat; and shall be removed by the angels and be Judged along with the unbelievers, because they did not walk so as to believe The Truth according to GOD; because they did not receive the love (agape) of The Truth so as to be Saved (2 Thessalonians).Do not be found by HIM being numbered with them. Be sure that your name is not Erased from The Book Of Life (Revelation 3:1-6) See and read all of Matthew chapter 13. ..."Then the Righteous will shine forth as the sun in The Kingdom Of their FATHER.He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 13:43. So many fail to recognise, GOD Is SPIRIT and those who worship HIM must worship in spirit (their sentient element) and Truth. (John 4:23-24), that those who walk according to the flesh do not, cannot, subject themselves to The Law Of GOD (Romans 8:5-8). The Law Is Spiritual (Romans 7:14-25) and we may only establish The Law through faith (Romans 3:30-31) because it is GOD'S Work in us through our obedience of faith that we receive The HOLY SPIRIT that we may fully obey JESUS CHRIST and be Sprinkled With HIS Blood: May Grace and Peace be yours in fullest Measure. And by our words and deeds it shall be evident, GOD Bearing Witness, which shall be in accordance with all HIS Word; never contrary to HIS Word, to whether we walk according to the flesh or we are walking according to The SPIRIT (Romans 8:2-9, Galatians 5:16-18). GOD is not a man that HE should lie. The SPIRIT HIMSELF Bears Witness with our spirit that we are children Of GOD and if children, heirs also, heirs Of GOD and fellow heirs With CHRIST, if indeed we suffer with HIM in order that we may also be Glorified with HIM. Romans 8:16-17. The Apostle Paul writes of The Kingdom Of GOD being of Godly morality in the heart:...for The Kingdom Of GOD is not eating and drinking, but Righteousness and Peace and joy in The HOLY SPIRIT.For he who in this way serves CHRIST is acceptable to GOD and approved by men.So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another...Romans 14:17-19. When The LORD JESUS Speaks of The Kingdom Of GOD it can be spoken of as the present or as being future.An example of a present tense is such as Luke 17:21. An example of The Kingdom Of GOD spoken of in a future tense is in Matthew 7:21,"Not everyone who says to ME, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter The Kingdom Of Heaven; but he who does The Will Of MY FATHER WHO Is In Heaven..." Whether present tense or future, we walk now entering into The Eternal Kingdom, or not. We are flesh and blood.But In CHRIST JESUS we do not walk according to the flesh.This is the difference between from when we walked as unknowing; before first confessing JESUS LORD and believing in our heart and receiving The SPIRIT, that we may indeed be Guided into all Truth and begin to put to death the deeds of the flesh, so that we may live, Spiritually, whilst we are in our mortal body, and just as Paul, in The SPIRIT, writes here, ...And if CHRIST is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit (our sentiment element) is alive because of Righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30-31).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. 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 8:10-14. We are born Of The SPIRIT, by Grace through faith in this life, so that we may indeed both perceive The Kingdom Of GOD and walk entering into The Kingdom Of GOD (John 3:3-8)."That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born Of The SPIRIT Is Spirit." V6. Blessed be The GOD And FATHER Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO according to HIS Great Mercy has caused us to be born again to a Living Hope Through The Resurrection Of JESUS CHRIST from the dead, to an Inheritance Imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, Reserved In Heaven for you, who are Protected By The Power Of GOD through faith for a Salvation ready to be Revealed in the Last Time...1 Peter 3:3-5. ...Beloved, now we are children Of GOD and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that when HE Appears, we shall be like HIM (1 Corinthians 15:50-58), because we shall see HIM just as HE Is. And everyone who has this Hope on HIM Purifies himself, just as HE Is Pure. Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.And you know that HE Appeared (HIS First Coming for sin for which HE was ultimately crucified) in order to take away sins; and In HIM there is no sin (1 John 1:5-10)...1 John 3:2-5. HIS First Coming is just as and for the purpose Paul writes as he does in what we have portioned as Romans chapter 6. It is to see and to hear in that we understand what Paul writes,...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.(to understand what Paul is saying here of the Witness to be seen in us. And 1 John 5:9-10). But we have this Treasure in earthen vessels (our fleshly bodies) that the Surpassing Greatness of The Power may be Of GOD and not from ourselves; afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body (our flesh) the dying Of JESUS, that the Life Of JESUS also may be Manifested in our body (Galatians 4:19).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 4:5-11. We are born Of The SPIRIT because,For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to The SPIRIT, the things Of The SPIRIT.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; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD.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...Romans 8:5-9. And Galatians 5:17. Thus, of those been born Of The SPIRIT is why Paul writes at the beginning of what we have portioned as Romans chapter 8, There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are In CHRIST JESUS.For The Law Of The SPIRIT Of Life has set me Free from The Law of sin and death.For what The Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE Condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT...Romans 8:1-5. And love is the fulfillment of The Law. This comes through faith and is of the Righteous in The Kingdom Of GOD; those who walk being Conformed to The Image Of HIS SON; becoming imitators of GOD as Beloved children (John 14:7-10, Ephesians 5:1-2), having put on The LORD JESUS CHRIST, making no provision for the flesh in regard to what is forbidden, realising the fact that Law is not made for a Righteous man; and that the Solid Food Of The Word is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses Trained to discern good and evil.Romans 13:8-14, Galatians 5, Hebrews 5. Love is without hypocrisy; Romans 12:9-21. One day soon The SON Of Man shall send forth HIS angels and they shall gather out of HIS Kingdom all who offend and do iniquity: Matthew 13:36-43.Only love will remain. ...For we know in part and we Prophesy in part; but when The Perfect Comes, the partial will be done away.When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to Face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully just as I also have been Fully Known.But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.1 Corinthians 13.

Matthew 5:16 - The Heart and Mind of a Christian. "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your FATHER WHO Is In Heaven.Matthew 5:16. As a Christian, how many times have you known conflict; division and strife with or between other professing Christians, to do with interpretations of Scripture, of denominations and whatever else there might be, which can only serve to cause and maintain the upholding of division and strife etc? In every instance that you have and it remained as being unresolved, it was and indeed remains being contrary to The Word Of GOD. ..."But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca,' (Aramaic for empty-headed or, good for nothing) shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be guilty into the fiery hell (Gehenna of fire). "If therefore you are presenting your offering at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.Matthew 5:22-24. These words here show how important it is and how essential to GOD ("You shall be Holy, for I AM Holy." Leviticus 19:2, 20:7-8, 1 Peter 1:13-21) that we know, in obedience to the truth, to purify our souls for a sincere love of the Brethren, fervently loving one another from a Cleansed heart, having been born again through the living and abiding Word Of GOD.We know this because GOD HIMSELF Says that it is so and through HIS Apostles (1 Peter 1:22 - 2:25)."Sanctify them in The Truth; THY Word Is Truth... John 17:17. If we cannot do and do not know to do this, then the truth is we do not love GOD.We cannot know to love all others if we do not first love GOD with all that we are. And to love The LORD your GOD with all your heart and soul and strength and mind; and your neighbour as yourself is the fulfillment of The Law. Those who will be the cause of division; the cause of disharmony in The Body, and who will not know to seek to be reconciled with their brother who has something against them, who will not look to come to mutual understanding when there are differences in understanding of Scripture, but will rather choose to stubbornly refute anything and anyone who will not agree with them and what they themselves believe and say, then according to Scripture they are not holding themselves up against Sound Doctrine. Only GOD Is True. Such a one is lacking knowledge because they lack humility, and accordingly, they are walking contrary to the Will and Purpose Of GOD: they walk contrary to CHRIST: they do not walk truly confessing JESUS CHRIST before men. To confess JESUS CHRIST means to agree with, assent to JESUS CHRIST; and this to us means being in both word and deed. "And I Say to you, everyone who confesses ME before men, The SON Of Man shall confess him also before the angels Of GOD; but he who denies ME before men shall be denied before the angels Of GOD.Luke 12:8-9. Truly, those who will do this; those who will do this and have no knowledge so that they do not understand to the provoking of their conscience, that, in humility and before GOD, they must confess that they are walking or have acted contrary to CHRIST; whenever repentance is indeed required according to The Word Of GOD, do not know and cannot know to have the love Of GOD in themselves. To hate is to be loveless. 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.1 John 4:20. Love does no wrong to a neighbour; love therefore is the fulfillment of The Law.Romans 13:10. They may refuse such an accusation and may even refuse and look to malign the one attempting to show them their error. But all the while we are such as this and remain being in the flesh; walking according to the flesh, satan, who is the devil, may hold such a one captive to do his will. Even though one may deny any wrongdoing, it is by their deeds and in light of Scripture that all is shown for what it truly is (John 3:19-21, Titus 1:15-16).Before GOD we cannot justify ourselves. Whatever contradicts The Word Of GOD is not Of GOD (James 3:13 - 4:12) and sinning is true of the one who wilfully disobeys GOD in their living; being contrary to HIS Word; contrary to CHRIST. Though we are not under Law but under Grace, nevertheless, we are indeed Called to live in obedience to all HIS Word and not prove disobedient; not to continue in sin; this is GOD'S Purpose for all in the New Covenant; our ability, now, to do so; being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT.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 (now led by The SPIRIT) and not in oldness of The Letter.Romans 7:5-6. Paul goes on to write in chapter 8 that there is now no condemnation for those who are in CHRIST JESUS because The SPIRIT Of Life in CHRIST JESUS has set us free from The Law of sin and death,For what The Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh (because of the flesh it was impossible to obey The Law), GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT... It is those who are being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT who are not under Law (Galatians 5:18) and so will not be of the resurrection to Judgement but of the resurrection to Life (John 5:25-29). It is easy for any to state of themselves, who or what they are, but words are cheap, words are all too easy.Actions will always speak louder than words; and we are Called to be doers of The Word as opposed to being merely hearers who delude themselves.Those who will do so; those who will remain disobedient do so because they do not have understanding according to GOD. JESUS CHRIST Is to all those who obey HIM The Source of Eternal Salvation (Hebrews 5:9 - 6:8).The Wrath Of GOD abides on the sons of disobedience (Colossians 3:5-10, John 3:36). 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...2 Timothy 2:24-26. It is for no man to call GOD a liar.Yet this is what those who will call themselves Christian and will yet maintain such an arrogance before GOD are doing; being those who will live denying HIS Word in their wilfully living contrary to HIS Word, because of their ears having become dull of hearing (Hebrews 5:11 - 6:8). If we repudiate The Word Of GOD then we are blaspheming, and in doing so and all the while being apart from repentance, we count ourselves unworthy of Eternal Life (Acts 13:44-46, Acts 18:4-6, James 3:14-16) We are Called to obedience. We are not Called that we may prove to be disobedient to GOD just as we were in our ignorance before we first believed and confessed JESUS LORD (Luke 6:46-49). For if after they have escaped the defilements of the world by The Knowledge Of The LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.For it would be better for them not to have known The Way Of Righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the Holy Commandment delivered to them. It has happened to them according to the true Proverb, "A dog returns to its own vomit," and,"A sow, after washing, to wallowing in the mire."2 Peter 2:20-22. Being under Grace through faith, we are Given both Instruction and the ability so as to be able to obey according to The Will Of GOD.But not all will hear; not all can hear. And it all comes down to the heart.As is the heart, so is the man.As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man. Proverbs 27:19. Who is the one who, when finding The LORD, will willingly lay down all he himself has, all he himself knows; in order to be able to follow HIM, in order to know HIM and the Power of HIS Resurrection and the fellowship of HIS Sufferings, being Conformed to HIS Death? (Luke 9:62, Philippians 3:1-21, Matthew 19:16-30, Romans 6:1-7). Who is the one who knows to take up his cross daily; putting to death the deeds of the flesh that he may indeed die to sin to live to Righteousness? (Romans 6:8-23). Those that know to do these things and shall willingly seek to do these things, in accordance with GOD and the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, are those who worship in The SPIRIT OF GOD and glory in CHRIST JESUS, putting no confidence in the flesh (Luke 14:25-35). ...That the generation to come might know, the children yet to be born, that they may arise and tell to their children, that they should put their confidence in GOD, and not forget the Works Of GOD, but keep HIS Commandments, and not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not prepare (put right) its heart, and whose spirit was not faithful to GOD.Psalm 78:6-8. "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to Eternal Life, which The SON Of Man shall Give to you, for on HIM The FATHER GOD, Has Set HIS Seal." They said therefore to HIM,"What shall we do, that we may work the Works Of GOD?"JESUS Answered and said to them, "This Is The Work Of GOD, that you believe in HIM WHOM HE Has Sent."John 6:27-29. "Behold, as for the proud one, his soul is not right within him; but the Righteous will live by his faith.Habakkuk 2:4. (Romans 1:16-17, Matthew 13:36-50). There are many who will honour GOD with their lips, but their hearts are far away from HIM. These worship HIM with no more than they have learned by rote, as opposed to their hearts being Cleansed.For these, their worship is in vain; those who hold to teachings and ways which prove to be no more than doctrines of men; and having become convinced by them, believing something of themselves, they are unable to truly hear (1 Timothy 4:1-2). These are ones who will refuse correction according to The Word, having become hard of hearing because of the hardness of their heart. Our heart is all we have that we can give to GOD, and it is essential that we do so in order that we may, according to Prophecy (Jeremiah 31:33-34, Zechariah 13:9), know HIS Cleansing in our hearts toward a good conscience before both GOD and man, and being from a sincere faith. The mouth of the Righteous utters wisdom and his tongue speaks justice The Law Of his GOD is in his heart; his steps do not slip.Psalm 37:30-31 Sacrifice and meal offering THOU hast not desired; MY ears THOU hast Opened; burnt offering and sin offering THOU hast not required.Then I said, "Behold, I Come; In the Scroll Of The Book It Is Written Of ME;I delight to do THY Will, O MY GOD; THY Law is within MY heart. I have proclaimed glad tidings of Righteousness in the great congregation;Behold, I will not restrain my lips, O LORD, THOU Knowest.I have not hidden THY Righteousness within my heart;I have spoken of THY Faithfulness and THY Salvation;I have not concealed THY Lovingkindness and THY Truth from the great congregation. THOU, O LORD, will not withhold THY Compassion from me;THY Lovingkindness and THY Truth will continually preserve me...Psalm 40:6-11. This here in Psalm 40 is both Prophecy of GOD'S MESSIAH and of The New Covenant and so accordingly is the testimony of the Instruction to those who will believe in HIM; in that they follow HIS Example, walking in HIS Steps, (Hebrews 10:4-39, 1 Peter 2:15-25). For The Testimony Of JESUS Is The Spirit Of Prophecy. (Revelation 19:7-10). "You, search The Scriptures! Because you think that in them you have Eternal Life; and it is these that bear witness of ME;...John 5:39 "Of HIM all the Prophets bear witness that through HIS Name everyone who believes in HIM receives forgiveness of sins."Acts 10:43. "If you love ME you will keep MY Commandments "And I will ask The FATHER and HE will Give you another HELPER, that HE may be with you forever; The SPIRIT Of Truth, WHOM the world cannot receive, because it does not behold HIM or know HIM.You know HIM because HE Abides with you and will be in you "I will not leave you as orphans; I Will Come to you.John 14:15-18. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13, and with himself as the example, he writes to all who will call on The Name Of JESUS, being an example to all Christians.It is not a matter for individuals to reject and refuse, because in doing so they are rejecting and refusing The GOD WHO Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT so that you may obey JESUS CHRIST and be Sprinkled with HIS Blood: being the Chosen Of GOD (1 Peter 1:2, 2 Peter 1:1-4). Do not quench The SPIRIT; do not despise Prophetic utterances.But examine everything; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every appearance of evil.Now may The GOD Of Peace HIMSELF Sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be Preserved complete, without blame at The Coming Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.Faithful is HE WHO Calls you and HE also will bring it to pass.(HE Alone will make it happen; By HIS SPIRIT; through our obedience of faith)1 Thessalonians 5:19-24. 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.And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor and if I deliver my body that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing...1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (Matthew 7:13-27, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). Shall those who will stubbornly refuse any correction and hold on to those fleshly qualities we are Called to die to be able to stand before The LORD?Where is their conviction of these things by The SPIRIT? (Hebrews 12:4-15). It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn THY Statutes.The Law Of THY Mouth is better to me than thousands of rivers of gold and silver.THY Hands Made me and established me;Give me understanding that I may learn THY Commandments.May those who fear THEE see me and be glad, because I wait for THY Word.I know, O LORD, that THY Judgements are Righteous and that in Faithfulness THOU Has afflicted me.O may THY Lovingkindness comfort me, according to THY Word to THY servant.May THY Compassion come to me that I may live, for THY Law is my delight.Psalm 119:71-77. See Proverbs 3:11-35. HE shall require every one of us, no exceptions, to give account for all we have done in the body, even for every careless word spoken (Matthew 12:35-37, 2 Corinthians 4:1 - 5:11, Ecclesiastes 12:13-14). CHRIST is The Chief Corner Stone; HE is The Centre of The Church and The Church is United in HIM (Ephesians 4, 1 Peter 2). A house divided against itself cannot stand. The Purpose Of GOD for us is our Sanctification, without which no one will see The LORD (Hebrews 12:14-15). As Paul writes to those who, back in the day, were indeed partakers of Grace with him, he also, in the Foreknowledge Of GOD writes to us; GOD Speaking through him that it is also to be the same for every one of us who will name themselves a Christian, from that day til now and to the Day Of Eternity, But we should always give thanks to GOD for you, Brethren Beloved By The LORD, because GOD has Chosen you (1 Peter 1:2) first fruits for Salvation through Sanctification By The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth.And it was for this HE Called you through our Gospel, that you may gain The Glory Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST...2 Thessalonians 2:13-14. Many do not understand what is truly meant in the statement; that you may gain The Glory Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. It means that we shall be Sanctified in GOD'S Truth; bearing fruit in keeping with repentance, walking as imitators of CHRIST; and not, and not, walking in any way holding to anything that CHRIST HIMSELF would not do and would not speak. Thus it is we confess JESUS CHRIST before men. And HE sends HIS Disciples into the world in the same manner as The FATHER Sent HIM into the world: ..."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. "And for their sakes I Sanctify MYSELF, that they themselves also may be Sanctified in Truth. "I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in ME through their word;that they may all be One; even as THOU, FATHER In ME and I In THEE, that they also may be in US;that the world may believe that THOU didst send ME...John 17:17-21. Before both GOD and man, the one who refuses correction is the one who spurns to the point of abhorring his own soul: but the one who hears to obey reproof; in that it leads to correction, this is the one who attains to acquiring a heart of understanding. The fear of The LORD is the correction of wisdom; because the fear of The LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of The Holy ONE is understanding.For any, before there is honour and glory, there must first be humility and meekness. (Proverbs 9:7-12, Proverbs 15:31-33). It is these who are a glory to CHRIST; being those tested and found to be diligent.I don't state it to be so; GOD, in HIS Word states it is so and I believe in my GOD and in HIS Word I trust, just as should all who will call themselves by HIS Name. We all, without exception, are sinners Saved by Grace through faith in JESUS The SON Of GOD; The First-Born of the dead (Romans 8:28-30). We will all, without exception, get it wrong along the way, yet we may know GOD'S Grace and Mercy in Perfect Patience and have Forgiveness of sins when we confess our sins (1 John 1:9-10).Yet not all who will call on HIS Name, in that they profess to be Christian, know to do this. It is The Word implanted which is able to save our soul; that is and truly means, in our proving to be an effectual doer of The Word Of GOD which indeed performs its work in those who believe.And those who truly stand in the Grace Of GOD shall bear witness to the Testimony Of JESUS in their living. This, as opposed to proving ourselves as being disobedient to The Word;the Sacred Writings, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to Salvation through faith which is in CHRIST JESUS.All Scripture is inspired By GOD and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in Righteousness; that the man Of GOD may be adequate, equipped for every good work. I solemnly charge in The Presence Of GOD and Of CHRIST JESUS, WHO is to Judge the living and the dead and by HIS appearing and HIS Kingdom:preach The Word; be ready in season out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.For the time will come when they will not endure Sound Doctrine; but to have their ears tickled they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires; and will turn away from The Truth and will turn aside to myths.2 Timothy 3:15 - 4:4.(James 1:19-27, 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16). Spiritually, pride and arrogance will gain no Godly understanding, because GOD is opposed to the proud but gives Grace to the humble; and it is from GOD alone that any may acquire Godly Wisdom.And this growth, from GOD, comes by reason of actual practice in order to be able to grow Spiritually. ...For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to The Word Of Righteousness, for he is a babe.But Solid Food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.Hebrews 5:13-14. The Parable of the talents is to show the importance in just how essential it is to grow in The faith and not to determine to remain as one was at the beginning when they first believed and confessed JESUS LORD, being a babe in CHRIST; when at that time unknowing of The Way in Truth, unknowing of The Purpose Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS for all who will call upon HIS Name, yet evenso still believing (Matthew 25:14-46). Any one of us are nothing but sinners who have been Saved by The Grace Of GOD through faith in HIS SON, The LORD JESUS CHRIST; brands plucked from the fire. GOD Is I AM; and it is HE HIMSELF WHO Causes the Growth, Through HIS SPIRIT, by the faith of the one who believes in HIM, who endures, being in accordance with all HIS Word. As Paul writes,...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; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labour.For we are GOD'S fellow workers; you are GOD'S field, GOD'S Building. According to the Grace Of GOD which was Given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation and another is building upon it. But let each man be careful how he builds upon it For no man can lay a foundation other than The One which is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST...1 Corinthians 3:6-11. "The beginning of wisdom is: acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding. "Prize her and she will exalt you; she will honour you if you embrace her."She will place on your head a garland of Grace; She will present you with a crown of beauty."Proverbs 4:7-9. Many seem so easily to forget, and many do not even know in their walk to always be standing ready, in season and out of season. It is that they are deceived by their own hearts in and through false doctrines which have convinced them otherwise to how GOD'S Word Instructs By The HOLY SPIRIT and through HIS Holy Apostles, so that they cannot see that they remain practicing the deeds of the flesh and that there are others also who live practicing the deeds of the body amidst those they are Called to be as One In CHRIST with; in and by their upholding enmity, strife, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions and factions; and not knowing repentance in all of these things, that they may come to The Knowledge Of The Truth. And yet we are told, clearly, that those who practice such things shall not inherit The Kingdom Of GOD (Galatians 5:16-26).But who hears? Truly, there is no real fear of The LORD in those who will do this; no knowledge; and those that will do this are sadly the many, and not the few. "Many are Called, but few Chosen." Hear the Parable of the two sons."But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'"And he answered and said, 'I will, sir'; and he did not go."And he came to the second and said the same thing. But he answered and said, 'I will not'; he afterward regretted and went."Which of the two did the will of his father?"Matthew 21:28-31. GOD Gives repentance. We are Saved by Grace through faith only, and this is according to GOD and all HIS Word only: leading to our obedience of faith. Who sees the contrast of Mount Sinai and Mount Zion?Yet still, our GOD Is A Consuming Fire and there shall be The Fury Of A Fire Which Will Consume the adversaries (Hebrews 10:26-39, Psalm 119:137-144). ...But you have come to Mount Zion and to The City Of The Living GOD, The Heavenly Jerusalem and to myriads of angels, to the General Assembly and Church Of The First-Born, who are enrolled in Heaven, and to GOD, The Judge Of all, and to the spirits of Righteous men made Perfect, and to JESUS, The Mediator Of a New Covenant and to the Sprinkled Blood, which speaks than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse HIM WHO Is Speaking.For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less who turn away from HIM WHO Warns From Heaven...Hebrews 12:22-25. We have many who walk contrary to CHRIST, who are understanding and practicing contrary to Scripture, and yet they are still accepted by others as Christians in what they do, and are accepted for no other reason than they themselves testify of themselves that they are a Christian. But what does The Word Of GOD Say? Many Christians themselves do not understand what it truly means to be a follower of CHRIST, and in this, the necessity of walking uprightly, and so no one is held to account for the things that they, as Christians, should be held accountable for in The Body; even though it is contrary to The Word Of GOD which they openly proclaim their faith to be in. This happens because so many cannot recognise what, according to GOD, constitutes wrongdoing as a Christian. Yet we are told throughout The Bible to keep our eye on those who cause dissensions and hinderances and all that is contrary to The Teaching and to turn away from them (Romans 16:17-18, 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15, 2 John:6-11, Colossians 2:8, Titus 3:10-11). 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.Psalm 92:6-7 "Behold, as for the proud one, his soul is not right within him; but the Righteous will live by his faith...Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17). "For the waywardness of the naive shall kill them and the complacency of fools shall destroy them.Proverbs 1:20-33 (v 32). "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.1 Peter 1:24-25. And who hears even this in that they fully understand: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is The Kingdom Of Heaven. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. "Blessed are the gentle (humble, meek), for they shall inherit the earth. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for Righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see GOD. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons Of GOD. "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of Righteousness, for theirs is The Kingdom Of Heaven. "Blessed are you when men cast insults at you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of ME."Rejoice and be glad, for your Reward in Heaven is Great, for so they persecuted the Prophets who were before you. "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty? It is good for nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck-measure, but on the lampstand; and it gives light to all who are in the house."Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your FATHER WHO is in Heaven...Matthew 5:3-16. "No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar, nor under a peck-measure, but on a lampstand, in order that those who enter may see the light. "The lamp of your body is your eye; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness. "Then watch out that the light in you may not be darkness. "If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it shall be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays."Luke 11:33-36. The purpose Of GOD, for us, in HIS SON, is our Sanctification.Our Sanctification is a process which both begins and is maintained by Grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST; a constant all the days of our lives. This, that we may, having indeed put on the New self, begin and continue to maintain our being Renewed to a true Knowledge according to The Image Of The One WHO Created us; The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT that we may indeed bear The Image of The Heavenly (Romans 8:28-30, Colossians 3:5-10). The spiritual is not first, but the natural; and then comes the spiritual, because to attain to this, all must first be born again; fleshly to spiritual (John 3:3-8, Mark 16:15-16, Romans 10:6-17, Luke 6:46-49).And we are clearly informed that flesh and blood cannot inherit The Kingdom Of GOD. ...The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from Heaven.As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is The Heavenly, so also are those who are Heavenly.And just as we have (before) borne the image of the earthy, let us also (now) bear The Image Of The Heavenly.1 Corinthians 15:47-49. Let us walk as imitators of CHRIST(1 Corinthians 10:32 - 11:1, 2 Corinthians 13:5-11).As Prophecy speaks of The LORD JESUS MESSIAH: The LORD GOD has given ME the tongue of disciples, that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.HE awakens ME morning by morning, HE awakens MY Ear to listen as a disciple.The LORD GOD has Opened MY Ear; and I was not disobedient, nor did I turn back...Isaiah 50 (v 4-5). Our justification is a Gift by GOD'S Grace through the Redemption which is in CHRIST JESUS (Romans 3:21-28). Contrary to what some will preach and teach, our Redemption, to us, is not fully acquired at the first (the day we first confess with our mouth and believe in our heart); though it is indeed fully acquired at the first.This may sound a contradiction, but it is not. And I show here that this is contained and upheld in Scripture; because we are Instructed to always be dressed in readiness (Luke 12:35-48).Our Redemption draws near (Luke 21:28, Romans 8:23-25, Ephesians 1:13-14, Ephesians 4, Colossians 1:9-23). Our walk is a continual walk along the Narrow Path that leads to Eternal Life.Some may walk only a short time in this world from the day they first confessed JESUS LORD, and some may walk a long time as a sojourner in this world and standing on The Name (Matthew 20:1-16). Nevertheless, to all, the obligation is the same and the goal is the same; being not to walk according to the flesh, not to live according to the flesh; but putting to death the deeds of the flesh that we may indeed know a Cleansed heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.(1 Thessalonians 3:11 - 4:8, 1 Timothy 1:5-17). "No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for The Kingdom Of GOD."Luke 9:62. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to The SPIRIT, the things Of The SPIRIT.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; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD. 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 (your sentient element) 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 (the ability to you in your fleshly body through now serving in newness of your spirit; Romans 6:1-14, 1 Peter 1:2, 2 Corinthians 4:11, Luke 1:75, Romans 7:5-6) because of HIS SPIRIT WHO Indwells you. 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; (Hebrews 10:26-29) 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. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again (a sentient element unknowingly remaining in the sins of the flesh), but you have Received a spirit of Adoption as sons by which we cry out, "ABBA! FATHER!" The SPIRIT HIMSELF Bears Witness with our spirit that we are children Of GOD,... Romans 8:5-16.

...and From JESUS CHRIST, The Faithful Witness, The First-Born Of the dead, And The Ruler Of the kings of the earth.To HIM WHO Loves us and Released us from our sins By HIS Blood, and HE Has Made us A Kingdom, priests to HIS GOD And FATHER; To HIM The Glory And The Dominion Forever And Ever. Amen. Revelation 1:5-6 - What Many Fail To Understand: just who we are In CHRIST and accordingly, what the true witness of a Saving faith proves to be; through having our whole person Washed from our sins; Now to HIM WHO Is Able To Keep you from stumbling and to make you to stand In The Presence Of HIS Glory blameless with great Joy, to The Only GOD our SAVIOUR, Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD, Glory, Majesty, Dominion And Authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.Jude:24-25. The Hope Of Righteousness means, the very real expectation of the Righteous; that being the Inheritance; Eternal Life; which is attained to By Grace through faith alone. For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness.Galatians 5:5. ... Therefore, we are ambassadors for CHRIST, as though GOD were Entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of CHRIST, be reconciled to GOD. HE Made HIM WHO Knew no sin sin on our behalf, that we might become The Righteousness Of GOD In HIM. And working together (with HIM), we also urge you not to receive The Grace Of GOD in vain - for HE Says,"At The Acceptable Time I Listened To you,And On The Day of Salvation I Helped you"; behold, now is "The Acceptable Time,"behold, now is "The Day Of Salvation" - giving no cause for offense in anything, in order that The Ministry be not discredited, but in everything commending ourselves as servants Of GOD, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger,in Purity, in Knowledge, in Patience, in Kindness, In The HOLY SPIRIT, in Genuine love, in The Word Of Truth, In The Power Of GOD;by the weapons Of Righteousness for the right hand and the left, by Glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true;as unknown and yet Well-Known, as dying, yet behold, we live;as punished yet not put to death, as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things...2 Corinthians 5:20 - 6:10. Bearing in mind, that Paul, here, is writing to The Church by way of exhortation in his statement of the Christian truth. And so clearly then, we are not The Righteousness Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS, WHO Is The LORD our Righteousness; Jeremiah 23:5-6, if we will receive The Grace Of GOD in vain; through our walking in wilful disobedience and ignorance to what GOD Instructs through HIS Holy Apostles and In all HIS Word; (Hebrews 10:26-31, 2 Peter 2:20-22). How can a young man keep his way pure?By keeping according to THY Word.Psalm 119:9. ...The Sacred Writings Which are able to give you the Wisdom that leads to Salvation through faith which is In CHRIST JESUS. All Scripture Is Inspired By GOD and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in Righteousness; that the man Of GOD may be adequate, equipped for every Good work...2 Timothy 3:15-17. Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not please ourselves.Let each of us please our neighbour for his good, to his edification.For even CHRIST did not please HIMSELF; As It Is Written,"The reproaches of those who reproached THEE fell upon ME."For whatever was Written in earlier times was Written for our Instruction, that through perseverance and encouragement of The Scriptures we might have Hope. 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.Wherefore, accept one another, just as CHRIST Also Accepted us to The Glory Of GOD.Romans 15:1-7. CHRIST JESUS Is The LORD our Righteousness; when we will walk with the desire of seeking GOD with our whole heart. As GOD HIMSELF Said of David even when he was still a young man and a shepherd to his father's sheep, 'I Have Found David the son of Jesse, a man after MY Heart, who will do all MY Will.'Acts 13:22b (1 Samuel 13:14, 1 Samuel 16:1-13). GOD Looks at and Sees the heart, and not as man, who looks at the outward appearance, and It Is GOD Alone WHO Sees the end from the beginning. With all my heart I have sought THEE;Do not let me wander from THY Commandments.THY Word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against THEE.Blessed Art THOU, O LORD;Teach me THY Statutes.Psalm 119:10-12. And even as happened with king David in his sinning, and is to us in The New Covenant, that when, along the way to our overcoming of sin we will stumble and sin; yet still, through understanding when we sin and have sinned, and knowing Godly repentance whenever repentance is needed, JESUS CHRIST The LORD our Righteousness; The Propitiation for our sins, Is our Advocate With The FATHER.(1 John 1:5 - 2:7, 2 Corinthians 7:9-11, 2 Peter 3:1-8). The sacrifices of GOD are a broken spirit;A broken and contrite heart, O GOD, THOU Wilt Not Despise. Psalm 51(v 17). HE Has Told you, O man, what is good;And what does The LORD Require of you but to do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with your GOD?Micah 6:8. Paul, writing to those who made up a particular Church (we, as believers, are as living stones, being Built Up as a Spiritual House for a Holy priesthood, according to GOD, and never according to any mere mortal man), who were, at that time, being disturbed by men who wanted to distort The Gospel Of CHRIST; just as there are many who do so today in their denial of The Truth, Do not be deceived, GOD is not mocked (Job 34:21-23, Jeremiah 23:23-24), 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 (Romans 8:12-14). 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 6:7-10. To this, I feel to use Leviticus 19:15-18 as the example of a Christian, in Truth, by faith, living fulfilling the requirements of The Law; Through The HOLY SPIRIT.This, as opposed to the observing of the things written in The Law as works to do them and always stumbling in them because of the weakness of the flesh, and if continually doing so throughout life, then living in complete ignorance to The Way Of GOD In Truth In CHRIST JESUS, walking contrary to CHRIST, never learning so as to overcome (1John 3). 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.Romans 15:13. Leviticus 19:15-18,'You shall do no injustice in judgement; you shall not be partial to the poor nor refer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbour fairly (James 2). '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.(Matthew 7:1-2, John 7:24, John 16:1-3, James 4:11-12, Titus 2) 'You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbour, but shall not incur sin because of him. (1 John 3:1-12, 2 Timothy 2:24-26, 2 Timothy 4:1-2, Matthew 6:9-15) '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.(Romans 12:9-21, 1 John 4:19 - 5:4, Galatians 6:1-5, Matthew 5:7-9, James 2:12-13, Luke 6:27-38). And here is why:In The New Covenant In HIS Blood, living in ignorance to how GOD Calls us to live; through the Renewing of our mind, the Cleansing of our heart, there is no excuse for any; because The Goal Of our Instruction is love from a Cleansed heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith (1 Timothy 1:5, Matthew 5:17-20), ..."If you abide in MY Word, you are truly disciples of MINE; and you shall know The Truth and The Truth shall Make you Free."......"Truly, truly, I Say To you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin."And the slave does not remain in The House forever; the son (Romans 8:14-17) does remain forever."If therefore The SON shall Make you Free, you shall be Free Indeed.John 8:31-32 & v 34-36 (John 5:24-29). Neither are we any longer to be constantly seeking Forgiveness for the same sins in never overcoming, but are Called to die to the flesh, through our spirit (our sentiment element) being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT; Through The faith that is in CHRIST JESUS:And everyone who has This Hope on HIM Purifies himself, just as HE Is Pure. 1 John 3:3. Such as this verse does not mean, as some who profess to believe will assert, that we are Pure, just as HE Is Pure, just because we ourselves profess to believe in JESUS CHRIST, and who will yet walk contrary to HIM; contrary to The Word Of GOD.To do this is to not know repentance; and repentance for Forgiveness of sins is The Message Of The Gospel (Luke 24:47, Matthew 3:2, Mark 1:1-4, Luke 3:3-9). To remain committing the same sins; to remain living contrary to The Word Of GOD is not being set free from The Law of sin and death, and is contrary to The Purpose Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS; that we may indeed be a people for GOD'S Own Possession, zealous for Good deeds; being those Of a Holy priesthood (Romans 2:1-13, 1 Peter 1:13 - 2:10). ...For The Law Of The SPIRIT Of Life In CHRIST JESUS has set you Free from The Law of sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:56-58). For what The Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and For sin, HE Condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but According to The SPIRIT. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh (Galatians 5:18-21), but those who are According to The SPIRIT, The Things Of The SPIRIT (Galatians 5:22-26, Colossians 1:9-23). 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; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD. 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...Romans 8:2-9. Now The LORD Is The SPIRIT; and where The SPIRIT Of The LORD is, there is Liberty (James 1:25). 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 renounced the things hidden because of shame (our hidden sins, which GOD Knows and Sees; Romans 2:16, Hebrews 4:12-13), not walking in craftiness or adulterating The Word Of GOD, but By The Manifestation of Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience In The Sight Of GOD. 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 (Genesis 2:7), that the Surpassing Greatness of The Power may be Of GOD and not from ourselves;afflicted in every way, but not crushed;perplexed, but not despairing;persecuted, but not Forsaken;struck down, but not destroyed;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. So death works in us, but Life in you. But having the same spirit (sentiment element) of faith, according to what Is Written,"I believed, therefore I spoke," we also believe, therefore also we speak;knowing that HE WHO Raised The LORD JESUS Will Raise us also With JESUS and will Present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that The Grace Which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to The Glory Of GOD. Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being Renewed day by day.For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an Eternal Weight Of Glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at The Things Which are not seen;for the things which are seen are temporal, but The Things Which are not seen are Eternal...2 Corinthians 3:17 - 4:18 But when CHRIST Appeared A High Priest Of the Good things that Have Come, HE Entered Through The Greater And More Perfect Tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this Creation;and not through the blood of goats and calves, but Through HIS Own Blood HE Entered The Holy Place Once For all, having Obtained Eternal Redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled (have sinned), Sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will The Blood Of CHRIST, WHO Through The Eternal SPIRIT Offered HIMSELF Without Blemish To GOD, Cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve The Living GOD?... To Cleanse the conscience from dead works means the overcoming of sin, as Paul writes in Romans 8:4, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but According to The SPIRIT.Released from our sins By HIS Blood, being that we die to the sins, which before, through and because of the weakness of the flesh (Romans 8:6-8), we were once enslaved to and always being, slaves of sin. The overcoming, so as to live to Righteousness, overcoming the weakness of the flesh because of the sin which indwells our flesh is exactly what Paul is writing of in Romans chapters 6 and 7.And those who, now In CHRIST, joyfully concur with The Law Of GOD in the inner man, have as their ambition, their zeal, to do so. Then on to Romans 8 and The Grace Of GOD, through faith, being realised (John 1:17), by the true believer in all their living; that though their outer man is decaying (they are getting older) their inner man is being Renewed day by day, bearing The Fruit Of The SPIRIT (Galatians 5:22-25); and being Protected By The Power Of GOD through faith (1 Peter 1:4-5), and as Hebrews 9 continues, ...And for this reason HE Is The Mediator Of a better Covenant, in order that since A Death has taken place for The Redemption of the transgressions that were under the first Covenant (The Law), those who have been Called may Receive The Promise Of The Inheritance (By Grace through faith)....Hebrews 9:11-15. Is The Law then contrary to The Promises Of GOD?May it never be!For if a Law had been Given which was able to impart Life, then Righteousness would indeed have been based on Law.But The Scripture has shut up all men under sin, that The Promise by faith in JESUS CHRIST might be Given To those who believe. But before faith Came, we were kept in custody under The Law, being shut up to The faith which was later to be Revealed.Therefore The Law has become our tutor to CHRIST, that we may be Justified by faith.But now that faith has Come, we are no longer under a tutor.For you are all sons Of GOD through faith In CHRIST JESUS.For all of you who were Baptised Into CHRIST have Clothed yourselves with CHRIST.Galatians 3:21-27 (Romans 13:8-14). Do we then nullify The Law through faith?May it never be!On the contrary, we establish The Law.Romans 3:31. This means now knowing to do in the actual doing of (proving to be a doer of The Word as opposed to merely being hearers who delude themselves: James 1:16-27) because for the true believers, having indeed Clothed themselves with CHRIST, they are now walking towards and becoming; Through The SPIRIT, by faith, a partaker of Divine Nature (2 Peter 1:2-11); and so, The Testimony Of JESUS is becoming, day by day, the very nature of the one who lives truly confessing JESUS CHRIST. Through that faith, The HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF Is Bearing Witness with their sentiment element, that is, their spirit, that they are children Of GOD (Romans 8:16-17), who prove to walk accordingly; being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT (Galatians 5:16-18); through The Indwelling Of The HOLY SPIRIT; HIS Sanctifying Work Alone; The Sanctification without which no one will see The LORD (Hebrews 12:14-15). This Is The Purpose Of GOD In HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST. Such a one is indeed going through the process of The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT, that his conscience is being Cleansed and may indeed be Cleansed from dead works so as to be able to serve The Living GOD; living able to worship The FATHER in spirit and Truth (John 4:23-24). But when The Kindness Of GOD our SAVIOUR And Love For mankind Appeared, HE Saved us not on the basis of deeds which we have done in Righteousness (Romans 3:10-20, Isaiah 64:6-7), but According to HIS Mercy, By The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM HE Poured Out Upon us Richly Through JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOUR, that being Justified By HIS Grace we might be Made heirs according to Hope Of Eternal Life. This Is a trustworthy statement; and concerning These Things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed GOD may be careful to engage in Good deeds.These Things are Good and profitable for men...Titus 3:4-8 "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.1 Samuel 15:22. For I Delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice and in The Knowledge Of GOD rather than burnt offerings.But like Adam (man) they have transgressed The Covenant; they have dealt treacherously against ME.Hosea 6:6-7 "...HE Is ONE; and there is no one else besides HIM; And to love HIM with all the heart and with all understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as himself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."Mark 12:33 Whether one, after first confessing himself a sinner and with his mouth confessing JESUS LORD, believing in his heart that GOD Raised HIM From the dead (Mark 16:15-16, Romans 10:8-17), who then soon after leaves this mortal coil, or, will remain for a long time as a sojourner; a stranger and alien in and to this world, The Words Of JESUS CHRIST are true of any who call upon HIS Name in truth. Whether they may then quickly depart this world, they are the same as the one who calls on HIS Name, in truth, and remains on in this world a long time; enduring to Eternal Life, "Thus the last shall be first, and the first last "Matthew 20:1-16 (v 16). Yet for all, the same warning applies; to always be dressed in readiness: Luke 12:16-48. The LORD Is Righteous In All HIS Ways And Kind In All HIS Deeds.The LORD Is Near To all who call upon HIM, To all who call upon HIM in Truth. HE Will Fulfill the desire of those who fear HIM;HE Will Also Hear their cry And Will Save them.The LORD Keeps all who love HIM;But all the wicked HE Will Destroy. My mouth will speak the praise of The LORD;And all flesh will bless HIS Holy Name forever and ever. Psalm 145:17-21. Just as The LORD JESUS Spoke to Martha, it shall be for all who shall call upon The Name Of The LORD: And JESUS Said To her,"I AM The Resurrection And The Life; he who lives and believes in ME Shall Live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in ME Shall Never die. Do you believe this?"John 11:25-26. And to believe means to obey (John 3:36, Acts 5:32)For all who are being Led By The SPIRIT Of GOD, these are sons Of GOD.Romans 8:14. ...For The Scripture Says,"Whoever believes in HIM will not be disappointed."......"Whoever will call upon The Name Of The LORD Will Be Saved."Romans 10:11 & v 13. This is The Truth Of The Grace Of GOD In HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST; This Is The Purpose Of GOD In HIS SON for all who will believe in HIM In Truth; who live believing in HIM to Eternal Life.It is not of those who fall away (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, 2 Timothy 4:1-2), but is of those who will endure to Eternal Life. And of those who walk, for however long they walk, being according to and in agreement with Paul's words,But may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, through Which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world (Galatians 6:14-16), being according to GOD'S Rule; Peace and Mercy Upon them. As the Scripture Says, And we know that GOD Causes all things to work together for Good to those who love GOD, to those who are Called according to HIS Purpose. For whom HE Foreknew, HE Also Predestined Conformed to The Image Of HIS SON, that HE might be The First-Born among many Brethren;and whom HE Predestined, these HE Also Called;And whom HE Called, these HE Also Justified;And whom HE Justified, these HE Also Glorified. What then shall we say to These Things?If GOD Is For us, who is against us? He WHO did not spare HIS Own SON, but Delivered HIM Up For us all, how will HE not also With HIM Freely Give us All things? Who will bring a charge against GOD'S Elect? (HIS Saints: Sacred; physically pure, morally blameless ones; Psalm 145:8-13) GOD Is The ONE WHO Justifies; who is the one who condemns? CHRIST JESUS Is HE WHO Died, yes, rather, WHO Was Raised From the dead, WHO Is At The Right Hand Of GOD, WHO Also Intercedes For us. Who shall separate us from The Love Of GOD?Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?Just as It Is Written,"For THY Sake we are being put to death all day long;We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered." But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer Through HIM WHO Loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from The Love Of GOD, Which Is In CHRIST JESUS our LORD.Romans 8:28-39. ("And why do you call ME, 'LORD, LORD', and do not do what I Say?... Luke 6:46-49). I urge you therefore, Brethren, By The Mercies Of GOD, to present your bodies a living and Holy Sacrifice, acceptable to GOD, your Spiritual service of worship (John 4:23-24). And do not be conformed to this world, but be Transformed by The Renewing of your mind, that you may prove what The Will Of GOD Is, that which is Good and acceptable and perfect (Matthew 5:48). For through The Grace Given to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgement, as GOD Has Allotted To each a measure of faith. For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are One Body In CHRIST and individually members Of one another...Romans 12:1-5. And as to this Spiritual service of worship, we, through The faith Receive Gifts, as the Scripture in Romans 12 continues to state from verse 6, and is according to the Grace Given to us; which are all The Working Of The HOLY SPIRIT (Mark 3:28-35), Given just as HE Wills; The Manifestation Of The SPIRIT for the common Good (1 Corinthians 12:4-7). It Is CHRIST'S Church, Of Which CHRIST HIMSELF Is The Head, And Which HE Purchased With HIS Own Blood (Acts 20:28). And The Grace Given, to each, according to The Measure Of CHRIST'S Gift, From WHOM The Whole Body, being Fitted and Held Together by that which every joint (the true believer) supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes The Growth Of The Body to the Building Up of Itself in love (1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4:7-16). Thus it is essential to recognise those who will cause division in The Body, those who maintain strife and dissensions, speaking arrogantly, those who are actually devoid of The SPIRIT, yet who will testify of and commend themselves that they are something in The Body Of CHRIST (Jude). But he who boasts, let him boast in The LORD.For not he who commends himself is Approved, but whom The LORD Commends.2 Corinthians 10:17-18 (1 Corinthians 11:19). Yet, and as Paul writes to earnestly desire the greater Gifts in the service Of The LORD, he shows toward a pre-eminent way; that is, being superior and far and above all of these, and with good reason; for it is love that is the fulfillment of The Law (Luke 10:25-28).Therefore he writes, ...But earnestly desire the greater Gifts.And I show you a still more excellent way. 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 the Gift of 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. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor and if I deliver my body that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing...1 Corinthians 12:31 - 13:3. The Gifts, clearly, do not Save to Eternal Life, but are Given towards the proper working of each individual part of The Body for the Building Up of Itself in love.(A house divided against itself cannot stand) ...But now abide, faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.1 Corinthians 13:13. "Not everyone who says to ME, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter The Kingdom Of Heaven; but he who does The Will Of MY FATHER WHO Is In Heaven."Many will say to ME on That Day,'LORD, LORD, did we not Prophesy in YOUR Name and in YOUR Name cast out demons and in YOUR Name perform many miracles?'"And then I Will Declare To them, 'I Never Knew you; Depart from ME, you who practice lawlessness.'...Matthew 7:21-23. The Apostle Paul understood this, he who, through The Grace Given To him, who himself Prophesied, who himself spoke Godly Knowledge and who performed many miracles.And when he knew his time to leave this world had come, he wrote, For I am already being poured out as a drink offering and the time of my departure has come. I have fought The Good fight, I have finished The Course, I have kept The faith; in the future there is Laid Up For me The Crown of Righteousness, Which The LORD, The Righteous Judge, will Award to me on That Day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved HIS Appearing.2 Timothy 4:6-8. And earlier in his Ministry he exhorts, But The Goal Of our Instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of The Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions. But we know that The Law is Good, if one uses it lawfully, realising the fact that law is not made for a Righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers (enslavers) and liars and perjurers and whatever else is contrary to Sound Teaching, according to The Glorious Gospel Of The Blessed GOD, with which I have been entrusted...1 Timothy 1:5-11. And in his Ministry, he writes to The Church, warning us all, including and knowing of himself also, 1 Corinthians 9:24 - 10:17, just as he also writes to Timothy and in The Foreknowledge Of GOD, to us also; You therefore, my son, be strong in The Grace that is In CHRIST JESUS.And the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. Suffer hardship with me as a Good soldier Of CHRIST JESUS. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules. The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. Consider what I say, for The LORD Will Give you Understanding in everything. Remember JESUS CHRIST, Risen From the dead, Descendant of David, according to my Gospel, for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but The Word Of GOD is not imprisoned. For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are Chosen, that they may also Obtain The Salvation Which Is In CHRIST JESUS With Eternal Glory. It Is A Trustworthy statement; For if we died With HIM, we shall also live With HIM;If we endure, we shall also reign With HIM;If we deny HIM, HE Also Will Deny us;If we are faithless, HE Remains Faithful; For HE Cannot Deny HIMSELF. Remind of These Things and solemnly charge In The Presence Of GOD not to wrangle about words, which is useless, to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to GOD as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately The Word Of Truth.2 Timothy 2:1-15. Of love and The faith: all being From GOD, see 1 John 4:7 - 5:4. Listen, my Beloved Brethren: did not GOD Choose the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs Of The Kingdom Which HE Promised To those who love HIM?James 2:5. When we first come to The LORD, when we first confess JESUS LORD and are born again; fleshly to Spiritual (John 3:3-8), we are as newborn babes, starting on the Milk Of The Word. Our Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT is a process, whereby we grow in respect to Salvation and on to Solid Food.But Solid Food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses Trained to discern good and evil. Hebrews 5:14. This Is The Grace Of GOD In HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, that along the way, In HIS Name, if we confess our sins, we have Forgiveness of sins; HIS Blood Cleanses us from all sin. But not all maintain this process in their living as professing Christians and some fall away and some are deceived into following strange and varied teachings, yet believing of themselves that they walk as in CHRIST JESUS.They will distort The Word, living not according to The Word Of GOD In Truth, because they are untaught and unstable, yet will believe of themselves and even boast of great things of themselves, commending themselves. But The Word Of GOD Shows all for what it truly is, holding no contradictions. As Paul wrote,...But what I am doing, I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in The Matter about which they are boasting.For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of CHRIST.And no wonder, for even satan disguises himself as an angel of light.Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their deeds.2 Corinthians 11:12-15. What many who profess The Name seem not to understand is that JESUS CHRIST, WHO Loves us and WHO Released us from our sins By HIS Blood, has Made us A Kingdom and priests to HIS GOD And FATHER, and just what this means, and that we are Called to be imitators of HIM. ...In The Days Of HIS Flesh, HE Offered Up prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to The ONE Able to Save HIM from Death, and HE Was Heard because of HIS Piety. Although HE Was A SON, HE Learned Obedience from the things which HE Suffered.And having been Made Perfect, HE Became To all those who obey HIM The Source Of Eternal Salvation, being Designated By GOD As A High Priest According To The Order of Melchizedek. Concerning HIM we have much to say and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need for someone to teach you the Elementary Principles Of The Oracle's Of GOD, and you have come to need Milk and not Solid Food. For everyone who partakes of Milk is not accustomed to The Word Of Righteousness, for he is a babe.But Solid Food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses Trained to discern good and evil...Hebrews 5:7-14. 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. And coming to HIM as to A Living Stone, rejected by men, but Choice And Precious In The Sight Of GOD, you also, as living stones, are being Built Up As A Spiritual House for a Holy priesthood, to offer up Spiritual sacrifices acceptable to GOD Through JESUS CHRIST. For this is contained In Scripture:"Behold I Lay In Zion A Choice Stone, A Precious Corner Stone, and he who believes in HIM shall not be disappointed," This Precious Value, then, is for you who believe.But for those who disbelieve,"The Stone Which the builders rejected, This became The Very Corner Stone,"And,"A Stone of stumbling And A Rock of offence"; for they stumble because they are disobedient to The Word, and to this they were also Appointed. But you (who truly believe) are a Chosen race, a Royal priesthood, a Holy nation, a people For GOD'S Own Possession, that you may proclaim The Excellencies Of HIM WHO Has Called you out of darkness into HIS Marvellous Light;for you once were not a people, but now you are the people Of GOD;you had not Received Mercy, but now you have Received Mercy...1 Peter 2:1-10.

Isaiah 48:16 - JESUS MESSIAH: GOD With us. "Come near to ME, listen to this:From The First I Have Not Spoken In Secret, From The Time It Took Place, I Was There.And Now The LORD GOD Has Sent ME, And HIS SPIRIT." Isaiah 48:16. Here in Isaiah 48, Prophecy Spoken Through Isaiah around 600-700 BC: GOD The SON: The WORD Of GOD Speaking that GOD The FATHER Has Sent HIM, And GOD The HOLY SPIRIT: being of The Coming Of MESSIAH And With HIM The New Covenant In HIS Blood, Through Which GOD Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT To those who obey HIM; To those who will believe in HIM In Truth: having a Saving faith in GOD. For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness.Galatians 5:5. ...But when The Fullness of The Time Came, GOD Sent Forth HIS SON, Born of a woman, Born under The Law, in order that HE might Redeem those who were under The Law, that we might Receive The Adoption as sons.And because you are sons, GOD Has Sent Forth The SPIRIT Of HIS SON Into our hearts, crying, "ABBA! FATHER!"Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir Through GOD...Galatians 4:4-7. (Romans 8:12-17). Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, JESUS stood and cried out, Saying,"If any man is thirsty, let him come to ME and drink."He who believes in ME, as The Scripture Said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of Living Water.' " (Isaiah 12, Isaiah 44:3-5, Isaiah 58:11, Isaiah 59:21).But this HE Spoke Of The SPIRIT, WHOM those who believed in HIM were to Receive; for The SPIRIT was not yet, because JESUS was not yet Glorified.John 7:38-39. 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; 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. The LORD GOD: THE FATHER And The SON And The HOLY SPIRIT. As there are those who will refuse GOD in HIS Word in Isaiah 48:16 and look to distort what GOD Says, and in doing so, for the sake of their own choosing and in their own understanding, it is necessary to look through all Scripture to see exactly what GOD HIMSELF Says Of HIMSELF; Of HIS MESSIAH, understanding that there can be no contradictions held within The GOD Breathed Word, in order to be standing in Truth just as Truth Is In JESUS. "Hear, O Israel! The LORD Is our GOD, The LORD Is ONE!And you shall love The LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might... Deuteronomy 6:4-5. The word here in Deuteronomy 6:4, translated as, Is ONE, is translated from the Hebrew word, Echâd. Echâd in Deuteronomy 6:4 means one, yet not one in a singular sense (i.e., Genesis 2:24, Genesis 3:22, Genesis 21:15, Genesis 34:16, Genesis 34:22, Exodus 9:6-7, Exodus 14:28, Exodus 24:3). It is why The LORD JESUS CHRIST, Written as we have as John 10:30, can Say and does Say,"I And The FATHER Are ONE." But as man will make controversy and argue even over this, it is necessary to see what, in The GOD Breathed Word,(2 Samuel 23:2-4, Luke 1:68-70, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 1 Peter 1:10-12, 2 Peter 1:21 - 2:3), ALMIGHTY GOD States Of HIMSELF and Of HIS MESSIAH, as well as Prophecies concerning The Coming Of GODS' MESSIAH, Which are Fulfilled in The Coming Of JESUS and Show also that it is impossible to be fulfilled in and by any other. "Truly, truly, I Say To you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin."And the slave does not remain in The House forever; the son does remain forever (Romans 8:12-17, Matthew 13:24-43)."If therefore The SON shall Make you Free (from sin), you shall be Free indeed...John 8:34-36 (Romans 6). ...As to this Salvation, the Prophets who Prophesied of The Grace that would come to you made careful search and inquiry, seeking to know what Person or Time The SPIRIT Of MESSIAH Within them was Indicating as HE Predicted the Sufferings Of MESSIAH and the Glories to follow. It was Revealed To them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in These Things Which now have been announced to you through those who preached The Gospel to you By The HOLY SPIRIT Sent From Heaven - Things into which angels long to look. Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on The Grace to be Brought To you At The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST. By Grace through faith are the things which we have Written in both the Old and New Testament for all who seek to know GOD'S Wisdom in a Mystery; to seek and to find The Hidden Wisdom Which GOD Predestined before the ages to our glory; Through and By faith in The LORD Of Glory, JESUS The SON Of GOD (1 Corinthians 2). "You, search The Scriptures!Because you think that in them you have Eternal Life; and It Is These that Bear Witness Of ME; and you are unwilling to come to ME, that you may have Life..." John 5:39-40.Though in HIS Words here The LORD JESUS is referring to the Old Testament Scriptures, what we have now as the New Testament Scriptures are, in their correct interpretation, The Truth Of GOD fulfilled and HIS Way and Wisdom also Revealed to all who will humbly seek to find. In writing this it is to show that to refuse Scripture in all that is stated throughout The GOD Breathed Word is to be shown to be living apart from faith in GOD, no matter what is claimed, believed on and followed.We cannot deny GOD and at same time also claim to believe in GOD. Many even will lay claim to being Christian, but will deny just WHO GOD'S MESSIAH JESUS Is and what means to follow HIM; all that is according to GOD HIMSELF, Written Throughout HIS Word.It is never the interpretation according to any mere mortal man himself (Jeremiah 23:16-32, 2 Peter 1:16 - 2:3, 1 Corinthians 2:7-16). Now I urge you, Brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to The Teaching Which you learned and turn away from them.For such men are slaves, not Of our LORD CHRIST but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. Romans 16:17-18. WHO Has Ascended Into Heaven And Descended?WHO Has Gathered the wind In HIS Fists?WHO Has Wrapped the waters In HIS Garment?WHO Has Established all the ends of the earth?What Is HIS Name Or HIS SON'S Name?Surely you know!Proverbs 30:4. And in writing here, if read by one who professes to believe in The GOD Of Abraham And The GOD Of Isaac And The GOD Of Jacob (HE is not The GOD of the dead, but Of the living; for all live to HIM), and who will yet still deny and refuse HIS Word, it is no less than to obstinately choose to deny GOD HIMSELF for the sake of what is, through merely proving to be self-willed, stubbornly upholding a lie which will prove to be of no benefit to any in The Day Of Judgement: The Day Of Judgement and Destruction of ungodly men, which GOD States throughout HIS Word that is one day soon Coming upon the world. Those Of GOD hear The Words Of GOD. But do not let this one fact escape you, Beloved, that with The LORD one day is a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.The LORD is not slow about HIS Promise, as some count slowness, but Is Patient Towards you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. But The Day Of The LORD Will Come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.Since all these things are to be Destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in Holy conduct and Godliness, looking for and hastening The Coming Of The Day Of GOD, on account of which the heavens will be Destroyed by burning and the elements will melt with intense heat!But according to HIS Promise we are looking for New Heavens and a New earth, in which Righteousness dwells...2 Peter 3:8-13 As the Apostle Paul writes to The Church at that time in Thessalonica, and in The Foreknowledge Of GOD to those also who believe according to the Apostles' teaching, (Acts 2:22-42) from that day until now and to The Day Of Eternity, ... therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among The Churches Of GOD for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure.A plain indication of GOD'S Righteous Judgement so that you may be considered worthy of The Kingdom Of GOD, for Which you are indeed suffering.For after all it is just for GOD to Repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when The LORD JESUS Shall Be Revealed From Heaven With HIS Mighty angels in Flaming Fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know GOD and to those who do not obey The Gospel Of our LORD JESUS.And these will pay the penalty of Eternal Destruction, away from The Presence Of The LORD And from The Glory Of HIS Power, when HE Comes to be Glorified in HIS Saints on That Day, and to be marvelled at among all who have believed - for our testimony to you was believed. To this end also we pray for you always that our GOD may Count you worthy of your Calling and fulfill every desire for Goodness and The Work of faith With Power;in order that The Name Of our LORD JESUS may be Glorified in you, and you In HIM, according to The Grace Of our GOD And The LORD JESUS CHRIST...2 Thessalonians 1:4-12. Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing?The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against The LORD and against HIS ANOINTED (HIS MESSIAH):"Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!" HE WHO Sits In The Heavens Laughs,The LORD Scoffs At them.Then HE Will Speak To them In HIS Anger and terrify them In HIS Fury:"But as for ME, I Have Installed MY KING Upon Zion, MY Holy Mountain." "I Will Surely Tell of The Decree Of The LORD:HE Said To ME, 'THOU Art MY SON, Today I Have Begotten THEE.'Ask of ME And I Will Surely Give the nations As THINE Inheritance And the ends of the earth As THY Possession.'THOU Shalt Break them With A Rod Of Iron, THOU Shalt Shatter them like earthenware.' "Psalm 2. ...As for the Saints who are in the earth,They are the majestic ones in whom is all my (MY) delight.The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;I shall not pour out their libations of blood, nor shall I take their names upon my lips...Psalm 16:3-4. THY people will volunteer freely in The Day Of THY Power;In Holy array, from the womb of the dawn, THY youth are to THEE as the dew.Psalm 110:3. And in it all, for such a one who professes to believe in GOD and yet refuses HIS Word; being tantamount to calling GOD a liar, it is to be foolishly doing so over truly believing in HIM; believing towards a Saving faith in The Only True GOD and JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE Sent. "For GOD So Loved the world, that HE Gave HIS Only Begotten SON, that whosoever believes in HIM should not perish, but have Eternal Life...John 3:16. "And This Is Eternal Life, that they may know THEE, The Only True GOD And JESUS CHRIST WHOM THOU Hast Sent... John 17:3. "Sanctify them In The Truth; THY WORD Is Truth... John 17:17. For I say that CHRIST Has Become A Servant To the circumcision On Behalf Of The Truth Of GOD To Confirm The Promises To the fathers and for the Gentiles to Glorify GOD for HIS Mercy; as It Is Written,"Therefore I will give praise to THEE among the Gentiles and I will sing praise to THY Name."And again he says,"Rejoice, O Gentiles, with HIS people."And again,"Praise The LORD all you Gentiles and let all the peoples praise HIM."And again Isaiah says,"There shall come the root of Jesse and HE WHO Arises To Rule Over the Gentiles, In HIM shall the Gentiles hope." 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.Romans 15:8-13. Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, and the deaf, even though they have ears.All the nations have gathered together in order that the peoples may be assembled.Who among them can declare this and proclaim to us the former things?Let them present their witnesses that they may be justified, or let them hear and say, "It is true." "You are MY witnesses," Declares The LORD, "And MY servant whom I Have Chosen, in order that you may know and believe ME, and understand that I AM HE.Before ME there was no GOD Formed and there will be none after ME. "I, Even I, AM The LORD;And their is no saviour besides ME."It Is I WHO Have Declared And Saved And Proclaimed, and there was no strange god among you;So you are MY witnesses," Declares The LORD, "And I AM GOD. "Even From Eternity I AM HE; And there is none who can deliver out of MY Hand; I Act and who can reverse it?" Isaiah 43:8-13. "WHO Has Performed And Accomplished, Calling Forth the generations from the beginning?I, The LORD, AM The FIRST, And With The LAST.I AM HE.' " Isaiah 41:4, "Thus Says The LORD, The KING Of Israel And his REDEEMER, The LORD Of Hosts: 'I AM The FIRST And I AM The LAST And there is no GOD Besides ME.'And who is like ME? Let him proclaim and declare it;Yes, let him recount it to ME in order, From The Time That I Established the Ancient Nation.And let him declare to them the things that are Coming and the events that are going to take place.'Do not tremble and do not be afraid;Have I Not Long Since Announced It To you And Declared It?And you are MY witnesses.Is there any GOD Besides ME, or is there any other ROCK?I Know of none.' " Isaiah 44:6-8. Throughout the New Testament The LORD JESUS CHRIST and HIS Apostles both show and speak of exactly WHO HE, JESUS, Is. We see uneducated and untrained men with confidence speaking of and doing things beyond the knowledge and capabilities of mortal man (Acts 4:13-14, Acts 3:1-26). We see a man, Paul, of the Tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, as to The Law, a Pharisee, who was educated under Gamaliel, a teacher of The Law respected by all the people (Acts 5:34). And Paul, who once persecuted The Church Of GOD, yet who, after the Risen LORD JESUS had Appeared to him, began preaching that JESUS Is The CHRIST and himself speaking of HIS Deity (Acts 22:1-21, Philippians 3:3-21). The Apostle Paul writes in his letter to The Church, to those at that time at Philippi, who were also partakers of Grace with him through The faith that is in CHRIST JESUS (Philippians 1:3-11).And in the Foreknowledge Of GOD he writes to us also who are partakers of Grace with them (Acts 2:42), who follow the same example and Teaching as the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST (Philippians 3:17-21, 1 Peter 5:2-5, 2 John:6-11), that we too might know the exact Truth, just as he at that time wrote to them, exhorting them to be of the same mind, maintaining the same love, United in spirit, intent on one purpose; that being GOD'S Purpose in accordance with the True Knowledge Of GOD And Of JESUS our LORD for all who will believe in HIM: ...Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each one 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, WHO, although HE Existed In The Form Of GOD, did not regard Equality With GOD a thing to be grasped, but emptied HIMSELF, Taking The Form of a Bond-Servant, being Made in the likeness of men. And being found in Appearance as a Man, HE Humbled HIMSELF by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore GOD (The FATHER) Highly Exalted HIM And Bestowed On HIM The Name Which Is Above every name, that at The Name Of JESUS every knees should bow, of those who are in Heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST Is LORD, To The Glory Of GOD The FATHER...Philippians 2:3-11. ("It Is Written, 'You shall worship The LORD your GOD and serve HIM only.' " Luke 4:8, Matthew 4:10) As he also writes, in his letter and instruction to Titus, ...For The Grace Of GOD Has Appeared, bringing Salvation To all men, Instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, Righteously and Godly in the present age, looking for The Blessed Hope and The Appearing Of The Glory Of our Great GOD And SAVIOUR, CHRIST JESUS; WHO Gave HIMSELF For us, that HE might Redeem us from every lawless deed and Purify For HIMSELF a people for HIS Own Possession, zealous for Good deeds. These things speak and exhort and reprove with all Authority. Let no one disregard you.Titus 2:11-15. And the Apostle Peter, in his opening address in what we have as his second letter, Simon Peter, a bond-servant and Apostle Of JESUS CHRIST, to those who have Received a faith of the same kind as ours, By The Righteousness Of our GOD And SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST:Grace and Peace be Multiplied To you In The Knowledge Of GOD And Of JESUS our LORD; seeing that HIS Divine Power Has Granted To us Everything Pertaining To Life And Godliness, Through The True Knowledge Of HIM WHO Called us By HIS Own Glory And Excellence...2 Peter 1:1-3. The Apostle John, in The SPIRIT, begins to write his account of The Good News Of JESUS CHRIST, by writing of HIM, In The Beginning Was The WORD and The WORD Was With GOD, and The WORD Was GOD.HE Was In The Beginning With GOD.All things Came Into Being By HIM And apart from HIM nothing came into being that Has Come Into Being.In HIM was Life and The Life Was The Light of men.And The Light Shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend It......HE Was In the world and the world was Made Through HIM, and the world did not know HIM......And The WORD Became Flesh and Dwelt among us, and we beheld HIS Glory, Glory As Of The Only Begotten From The FATHER, Full of Grace And Truth... John 1:1-5 & v 10 & v 14. And so John here also writes both acknowledging and confirming The Deity Of JESUS CHRIST.Those who refuse this Truth, distorting The Scriptures, do so refusing GOD HIMSELF and calling HIM a liar. In Scripture we see the Jews in their reactions to JESUS' Words and likewise to HIS Apostles and their preaching, which show that they understood exactly what JESUS was Stating at times To them, as well as what HIS followers understood and believed; and yet still they denied and refused GOD (John 8:43-47), even blinded by the hardness of their own heart. ..."I And The FATHER Are ONE."The Jews took up stones again to stone HIM. JESUS Answered them, "I Showed you many Good Works From The FATHER; for Which of Them are you stoning ME?"The Jews answered HIM, "For a good work we do not stone YOU, but for blasphemy; and because YOU, being a Man, make YOURSELF out to be GOD."... John 10:30-33. Yet still, despite seeing all that JESUS Did and hearing HIS Words, Through Which The FATHER Bore Witness Of HIM, they still rejected GOD'S MESSIAH, just as Prophecy Foretold Of HIM, as Is Written in Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12 (written around 600 - 700 BC) and Psalm 22 (written even earlier). But there were those who believed. Thus Says The LORD GOD, WHO Created the Heavens and Stretched them out,WHO Spread Out the earth and its offspring,WHO Gives Breath To the people on it and spirit To those who walk in it,"I AM The LORD, I Have Called you in Righteousness, I Will Hold you by the hand and Watch Over you and I Will Appoint you as a Covenant to the people, as a light To the nations,To open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon and those who dwell in darkness from the prison (Luke 24:44-49, Mark 16:15-18, Matthew 28:16-20). "I AM The LORD, That Is MY Name;I Will Not Give MY Glory to another, nor MY Praise to graven images. "Behold, the former things have Come To Pass, Now I Declare New Things;Before they Spring Forth I Proclaim To you."Isaiah 42:5-9. ...How Blessed is he whose help is The GOD Of Jacob, whose hope is in The LORD his GOD;WHO Made Heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; WHO Keeps Faith Forever; WHO Executes justice for the oppressed; WHO Gives food to the hungry.The LORD Sets the prisoners Free. The LORD Opens the eyes of the blind; The LORD Raises Up those who are bowed down (humble); The LORD Loves the Righteous; The LORD Protects the strangers; HE Supports the fatherless and the widow; But HE Thwarts the way of the wicked...Psalm 146:5-9. As written in Isaiah 44:6,"Thus Says The LORD, The KING Of Israel And his REDEEMER, The LORD Of Hosts: 'I AM The FIRST And I AM The LAST And there is no GOD Besides ME., That there is no GOD Besides HIM WHO Says,'I AM The FIRST And The LAST,' we see in Revelation 1:5-8, being, The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST, where It Is Written, ...and from JESUS CHRIST, The Faithful Witness, The First-Born Of the dead (Romans 8:29) and The Ruler Of the kings of the earth (HE Is KING Of Kings And LORD Of Lords). To HIM WHO loves us, and Released us from our sins By HIS Blood, and HE Has Made us A Kingdom, priests to HIS GOD And FATHER; To HIM The Glory And The Dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, HE Is Coming With the clouds, and every eye will see HIM, even those who pierced HIM; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over HIM. Even so. Amen. "I AM The ALPHA And The OMEGA," Says The LORD GOD, "WHO Is And WHO Was And WHO Is To Come, The ALMIGHTY." And in Revelation 1:12-18, John, the Apostle who walked with JESUS in The Days Of HIS Flesh, seeing JESUS As HE Is, and HIS Appearance causing John, as he writes, ...And when I saw HIM, I fell at HIS Feet as a dead man. AND HE Laid HIS Right Hand Upon me, Saying,"Do not be afraid; I AM The FIRST And The LAST, And The Living ONE; and I Was Dead, and Behold, I AM Alive Forevermore, and I Have The Keys Of Death and Of Hades...Revelation 1:17-18. The Disciples, when they proceeded to Galilee, to The Mountain which JESUS had designated, and they saw The Risen LORD JESUS, Scripture tells us,...And when they saw HIM they worshiped HIM; but some were doubtful... Matthew 28:17. "It Is Written, 'You shall worship The LORD your GOD and serve HIM only.' " Luke 4:8. Later in Revelation, the Apostle John, one of the Disciples that worshiped JESUS on the mountain, says, that when he heard and saw great things shown him by an angel, he fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had showed him these things, and Scripture tells us the angels response, And he said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and of your Brethren the Prophets and of those who heed The Words Of This Book; worship GOD."Revelation 22:1-9 (v 9). This also occured, Written as we have as Revelation 19,...And he said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are Invited to The Marriage Supper Of The LAMB.' "And he said to me, "These are True Words Of GOD."And I fell at his feet to worship him.And he said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your Brethren who hold The Testimony Of JESUS; worship GOD.For The Testimony Of JESUS Is The Spirit Of Prophecy." (v 9-10). The man born blind and Healed of his blindness by JESUS (John 9), who was then put out by the Pharisees, because the Pharisees rejected JESUS and rejected this man's testimony of HIS Healing him.On JESUS Hearing of this man's treatment at the hands of the Pharisees, HE then finds him and Speaks with him, and the man worshiped HIM; John 9:35-39.There is no rebuke for him, because The SON Of Man Is GOD. Let THY Hand Be Upon The Man Of THY Right Hand, Upon The SON Of Man WHOM THOU Didst Make Strong For THYSELF.Then we shall not turn back from THEE; Revive us and we will call upon THY Name.O LORD GOD Of Hosts, Restore us;Cause THY Face To Shine, and we will be Saved.Psalm 80:17-19. "It Is Written, 'You shall worship The LORD your GOD and serve HIM only.' " Luke 4:8. As Is Written in Hebrews, GOD, after HE Spoke long ago to the fathers in the Prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days Has Spoken To us In HIS SON, WHOM HE Appointed Heir Of All Things, Through WHOM Also HE Made the world. And HE (JESUS) Is The Radiance Of HIS Glory And The Exact Representation Of HIS Nature, And Upholds All Things By The Word Of HIS Power. When HE Had Made Purification of sins, HE Sat Down At The Right Hand Of The MAJESTY On High; having become as much better than the angels, as HE Has Inherited A More Excellent Name than they. For To Which of the angels did HE ever Say,"THOU Art MY SON,Today I Have Begotten THEE"?And again,"I Will Be A FATHER To HIM And HE Shall Be A SON To ME"?And When HE Again Brings The First-Born (Romans 8:29) Into the world (HIS Second Coming), HE Says,"And let all the angels Of GOD Worship HIM."And of the angels HE Says,"Who Makes HIS angels winds and HIS ministers a flame of fire,"But Of The SON,"THY Throne, O GOD, Is Forever And Ever And The Righteous Sceptre Is The Sceptre Of THY Kingdom."THOU Hast Loved Righteousness And Hated Lawlessness;Therefore GOD (The SON), THY GOD (The FATHER), Hath Anointed THEE With The Oil Of Gladness Above THY companions."And,"THOU, LORD, In The Beginning Didst Lay The Foundation Of The Earth, and The Heavens Are The Works Of THY Hands;They will perish, but THOU Remainest;And they will all become old as a garment,And as a mantle THOU Wilt Roll Them Up;As a garment they will also be Changed.But THOU Art The Same,And THY Years Will Not Come To An End." But to which of the angels has HE ever Said,"Sit At MY Right Hand,Untill I Make THINE enemies A Footstool For THY Feet"? Are they not all ministering spirits, Sent Out to render service for the sake of those who will Inherit Salvation? For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away.For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience Received a just recompense, how shall we escape if we neglect so Great A Salvation? After It was First Spoken Through The LORD, it was confirmed to us by those who heard...Hebrews 1:1 - 2:3. It is JESUS The SON Of GOD WHO Died and Rose again, as the Apostle Paul writes,...and HE Died For all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for HIM WHO Died And Rose Again On their Behalf...2 Corinthians 5:15. And It Is JESUS WHO Says, "...I AM The FIRST And The LAST, And The Living ONE; and I Was Dead, and Behold, I AM Alive Forevermore, and I Have The Keys Of Death and Of Hades... And as Luke writes, quoting The Words Of The Risen LORD JESUS before HE was Taken Up (Acts 1:6-11),Now HE Said To them,"These Are MY Words Which I Spoke To you while I was still With you, that all things which are Written about ME in The Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be Fulfilled." Then HE Opened their minds to understand The Scriptures, and HE Said To them,"Thus It Is Written, that The CHRIST should Suffer and Rise again from the dead the third day; and that repentance for Forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in HIS Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem."You are witnesses of These Things...Luke 24:44-48. And the author of Hebrews, in speaking of the faith of those who believed in GOD; men of old, those of whom the world was not worthy, who saw and welcomed The Promises Of GOD from a distance, who died in faith (Hebrews 11), writes, ...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 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. That GOD'S MESSIAH would be both GOD And Man, and that to be equal with GOD HE Had To HIMSELF Be GOD, is given in Old Testament Scripture; in The Law and The Prophets and The Psalms. Written in what we have as Luke chapter 20, The LORD JESUS Asks the scribes a question, quoting from Psalm 110, And HE Said To them,"How is it that they say The CHRIST is David's son?"For David himself says in The Book of Psalms,'The LORD Said To my LORD, "Sit At MY Right Hand, until I Make THINE enemies a footstool For THY Feet." '"David calls HIM 'LORD,' and how Is HE his son?"... David was then king, and as such had none, other than GOD, with whom he would call them his LORD. The LORD (GOD The FATHER) Said To my LORD (MESSIAH) Sit At MY Right Hand, Untill I Make THINE enemies(enemies through HIS First Coming and HIS being rejected by Israel; Isaiah 49:7-13, Romans 11:25-36, 1 Corinthians 2:7)a footstool For THY Feet. As MESSIAH is Said to Sit at GOD'S Right Hand, throughout Scripture, MESSIAH has to be Equal With GOD. "Awake, O sword, against MY Shepherd and against The Man, MY Associate (Kinsman; Equal)," Declares The LORD Of Hosts."Strike The Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; and I Will Turn MY Hand Against the little ones.Zechariah 13:7. To Sit at The Right Hand Of GOD, again, The SON Of Man must be Equal With GOD.The Jews at that time understood this, yet many today seem not to understand this. Caiaphas, who was the high priest in The Days Of HIS Flesh, asked JESUS after HE had been betrayed and was brought before the whole Council and suffering many false witnesses who were speaking against HIM, (and according to the Prophecy concerning HIM; Psalm 22:12-13) saying to JESUS,"I adjure You by The Living GOD, that YOU tell us whether YOU are The CHRIST, The SON Of GOD." JESUS Said To him,"You have said it; nevertheless I Tell you, hereafter you shall see The SON Of Man Sitting At The Right Hand Of Power And Coming On The Clouds Of Heaven."Matthew 26:62-63. Caiaphas the high priest understood exactly what JESUS was Stating in The Words of HIS Reply, and is why Scripture goes on to tell us, Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, "HE has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy; what do you think?"Matthew 26:65-66a. Prophecy States that MESSIAH would be born in Bethlehem, being both GOD; having Existed from the Days Of Eternity, and A Man, having been Born of a woman: "But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah,From you ONE Will Go Forth For ME To Be Ruler in Israel.HIS Goings Forth Are From Long Ago, From Days Of Eternity."Micah 5:2 (Matthew 2:1-6, Luke 2:1-20). ..."Therefore The LORD HIMSELF Will Give you A Sign: Behold, the virgin will be with Child and bear a Son, and she will call HIS Name Immanuel (GOD With us).Isaiah 7:14 (Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-56). In Psalm 110, verse 4 states,The LORD Has Sworn And Will Not Change HIS Mind, "THOU Art A Priest Forever According to the order of Melchizedek," In Hebrews, It Is Written,...This Hope we have as an anchor of the soul, A Hope both Sure and Steadfast and One Which enters within The Veil, where JESUS Has Entered As A Forerunner For us, Having Become A High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest Of The MOST HIGH GOD, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation, king of righteousness and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like The SON Of GOD, he abides a priest perpetually...Hebrews 6:19 - 7:3. ALMIGHTY GOD Is From Everlasting To Everlasting. GOD'S MESSIAH Is both High Priest And A King, being according to the order of Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18-24), and not for a time, but as Psalm 110:4 States, being forever. This too is the fulfillment of Prophecy in JESUS and can only be Of JESUS.In AD 70 with the destruction of the temple all the records were lost, and from that time none could prove their lineage being of the Tribe of Judah, which is where Prophecy States MESSIAH will Come from; "The Sceptre Shall Not Depart from Judah,Nor The Ruler's Staff from between his feet,Until SHILOH Comes,And to HIM the obedience of the peoples.Genesis 49:10. Under The Law which Came later after the time of Abraham and Melchizedek, it was not possible for one to be both king and priest, as priests had to be of the Tribe of Levi (Exodus 38:21, Deuteronomy 18:1-5) and kings of the Tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:10, See also Matthew 1:1-16). So the New Covenant In HIS Blood did away with the Old Covenant; The Law, and all according to GOD'S Promise, which can be seen and understood in reading Hebrews chapters 7 - 10. Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received The Law), what further need was there for another Priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of Law also.For The ONE Concerning WHOM These Things Are Spoken Belongs to another Tribe, from which no one has officiated at The Altar.For it is evident that our LORD was Descended from Judah, a Tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. And this is clearer still, if Another Priest Arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek, WHO Has Become Such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to The Power Of An Indestructible Life.For It Is Witnessed,"THOU Art A Priest Forever According To The Order of Melchizedek." For, on the one hand, there is a Setting Aside of a former Commandment because of Its weakness and uselessness (for The Law made nothing perfect)(Romans 8:3a, and v 7-8), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better Hope (Romans 8:8-17, Hebrews 9:11-15), through which we draw near to GOD. And inasmuch as not without An Oath (for they indeed became priests without an oath, but HE With An Oath Through The ONE WHO Said To HIM,"The LORD Has Sworn And Will Not Change HIS Mind,"THOU Art A Priest Forever' ");so much the more also JESUS Has Become The Guarantee Of A Better Covenant. And the former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers, because they were prevented by death from continuing, but HE, on the other hand, because HE Abides Forever, Holds HIS Priesthood Permanently. Hence also, HE Is Able to Save forever those who draw near to GOD Through HIM, since HE Always Lives To Make Intersession For them. For it was fitting that we should have such A High Priest, Holy, Innocent, Undefiled, Separated from sinners and Exalted Above The Heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for HIS own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this HE Did Once For all when HE Offered Up HIMSELF. For The Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but The Word Of The Oath, Which Came after The Law, A SON, Made Perfect Forever. Hebrews 7:11-28. In Being A High Priest, MESSIAH had to be A Man (See Hebrews 2:14-18). The LORD JESUS, Speaking with the Jews and Testifying Of The Witness Of GOD (John 5:25-47), States to them to search The Scriptures, "...because you think that in Them you have Eternal Life; and It Is These That Bear Witness Of ME; and you are unwilling to come to ME... ..."For if you believed Moses, you would believe ME; for he wrote of ME (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)."But if you do not believe his Writings, how will you believe MY Words?" John 5:39-41 & v 46-47. As Moses spoke the Prophecy, saying, "The LORD your GOD Will Raise Up For you Prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him (HIM)...And The LORD Saying To Moses, 'I Will Raise Up A Prophet from among their countrymen like you (Numbers 12:6-8) and I Will Put MY Words In his (HIS) Mouth, and he (HE) shall Speak to them all that I Command him (HIM).'And it shall come about that whoever will not listen to MY Words Which he (HE) Shall Speak In MY Name, I MYSELF Will Require of him. Deuteronomy 18:15 & v 18-19. To see and to understand how and why The FATHER HIMSELF Will Require of any who do not listen to HIS Words, Spoken Through HIS SON, Through WHOM also GOD Will Judge the secrets of men (Romans 2:1-11), see John 8:23-36, John 12:24-33, John 12:44-50. Let THY Hand Be Upon The Man Of THY Right Hand, Upon The SON Of Man WHOM THOU Didst Make Strong For THYSELF.Then we shall not turn back from THEE; Revive us and we will call upon THY Name.O LORD GOD Of Hosts, Restore us;Cause THY Face To Shine, and we will be Saved.Psalm 80:17-19. As early as Genesis 3:15, Scripture states that MESSIAH would Come through humanity, though not as usual, by the seed of a man, but will be the seed of a woman (Isaiah 7:14). The LORD GOD, Speaking To the serpent, who is the devil, after the fall when death entered the world, Said, ...And I Will Put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed;HE Shall Bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise HIM on the heel." Genesis 3:15. And here also, HE Shall Bruise you on the head, refers to The GOD Of Peace Crushing satan (Romans 16:20) and yet still future is his final defeat in eternal destruction (Revelation 20:10). The bruising of MESSIAH'S Heal was the crucifixion, yet was the Plan and Purpose Of ALMIGHTY GOD to reconcile the world to HIMSELF Through CHRIST: Saved By HIS Blood. For it is HIS Blood by reason of HIS sinless Life Which Cleanses us from all sin: The Sacrifice for sin Once For all.Saved By The Blood Of The LAMB; Saved By Grace through faith. And we cannot go on wilfully sinning after receiving The Knowledge Of The Truth.To do so is to trample under foot The SON Of GOD and regard as unclean The Blood Of The Covenant By Which any are Sanctified, and is to insult The SPIRIT Of Grace. Rather, ours is to walk by faith in JESUS CHRIST; in obedience to HIM (John 3:22-36); through which GOD Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT (John 14:15-17, Acts 5:32); Chosen Of GOD By The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT that we may obey JESUS CHRIST and be Sprinkled With HIS Blood (1 Peter 1:2), to the Preserving of the soul (Hebrews 10). As the Apostle Paul writes to The Church, But he who boasts, let him boast in The LORD.For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom The LORD Commends I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:18-31); but indeed you are bearing with me.For I am jealous for you with a Godly jealousy (James 4:1-12); for I betrothed you to One Husband, that to CHRIST I might present you a pure virgin.But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity to CHRIST.2 Corinthians 10:17 - 11:3. ..."For your Husband Is your MAKER,WHOSE Name Is The LORD Of Hosts; And your REDEEMER Is The Holy ONE Of Israel, WHO Is Called The GOD Of All the earth. "For The LORD Has Called you, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even like a wife of one's youth when she is rejected,"Says your GOD. "For a brief moment I Forsook you, but with Great Compassion I Will Gather you."In an Outburst of Anger I Hid MY Face from you for a moment;But With Everlasting Lovingkindness I Will Have Compassion On you,"Says The LORD your REDEEMER. "For this is like the days of Noah to ME;When I Swore that the waters of Noah should not flood the earth again, so I Have Sworn that I Will Not Be Angry With you,Nor Will I Rebuke you. "For the mountains may be Removed and the hills may Shake (Hebrews 12:25 - 13:1), but MY Lovingkindness Will Not Be Removed From you,And MY Covenant Of Peace Will Not Be Shaken."Says The LORD WHO Has Compassion On you.Isaiah 54:5-10. Ephesians 5:22-32. Revelation 21:1-8 Now HE WHO Prepared us for this Very Purpose Is GOD, WHO Gave To us The SPIRIT As A Pledge.Therefore, being always of good courage and knowing that while we are at home in the body (the flesh) we are absent from The LORD - for we walk by faith, not by sight - we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with The LORD. Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent (Romans 7:14-25), to be pleasing to HIM (1 John 1:9-10, 1 John 3). For we must all appear before The Judgement Seat Of CHRIST, that each one may be Recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Therefore knowing the fear of The LORD, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to GOD; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences. We are not again commending ourselves to you (2 Corinthians 10:17-18) but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, that you may have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart (Luke 12:1-12). For if we are beside ourselves, it is for GOD; if we are of sound mind, it is for you For the love of CHRIST controls us (John 13:34-35, John 14:15), having concluded this, that ONE Died For all, therefore all died; and HE Died For all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for HIM WHO Died and Rose Again on their behalf. Therefore from now on we recognise no man according to the flesh; even though we have known CHRIST according to the flesh (Titus 3:1-8), yet now we know no longer (1 Corinthians 11:1). Therefore if any man is In CHRIST, he is a New Creature (Romans 12:1-3); the old things passed away; behold, New things have come. Now all these things are From GOD, WHO Reconciled us to HIMSELF Through CHRIST, and Gave us the Ministry Of Reconciliation, namely, that GOD Was In CHRIST Reconciling the world to HIMSELF, not counting their trespasses against them and HE Has Committed To us The Word Of Reconciliation (Galatians 6:1-5, Matthew 7:1-2, James 4:11-12, Luke 18:9-14, Romans 3:9-23). Therefore, we are ambassadors for CHRIST, as though GOD were Entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of CHRIST, be reconciled to GOD. HE Made HIM WHO Knew no sin sin on our behalf, that we might become The Righteousness Of GOD In HIM. And working together, we also urge you not to receive The Grace Of GOD in vain -...2 Corinthians 5:5 - 6:1. "I AM The LORD, and there is no other;Besides ME there is no GOD.I Will Gird you, though you have not known ME;That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun that there is no GOD Besides ME.I AM The LORD, and there is no other,The ONE Forming light and Creating darkness, Causing well-being and Creating calamity;I AM The LORD WHO Does All These. "Drip down, O Heavens, From Above and let the clouds Pour Down Righteousness;Let the earth open up and Salvation Bear Fruit And Righteousness Spring Up With It.I, The LORD, Have Created It. "Woe to the one who quarrels with his MAKER -An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth!Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?'Or the thing you are making say, ' He has no hands'?"Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?'Or to a woman, 'To what are you giving birth?' " Thus Says The LORD, The Holy ONE Of Israel, and his MAKER:"Ask ME about the things to come concerning MY sons and you shall commit to ME The Work Of MY Hands."It Is I WHO Made the earth and Created man upon it.I Stretched Out the Heavens With MY Hands and I Ordained all their host. For Thus Says The LORD, WHO Created The Heavens (HE Is The GOD WHO Formed the earth and Made it, HE Established it and did not Make it a waste place, but Formed it to be inhabited),"I AM The LORD and there is none else."I have not Spoken in secret, in some dark land;I did not Say to the offspring of Jacob, 'Seek ME in a waste place';I, The LORD, Speak Righteousness Declaring Things That Are Upright. "Gather yourselves and come;Draw near together, you fugitives of the nations; they have no knowledge, who carry about their wooden idol, and pray to a god who cannot save. 'Declare and set forth your case;Indeed, let them consult together. WHO Has Announced this From Of Old?WHO Has Long Since Declared It?Is It not I, The LORD?And there is no other GOD Besides ME, A Righteous GOD And A SAVIOUR;There Is None Except ME. "Turn to ME and be Saved, all the ends of the earth;For I AM GOD and there is no other. "I Have Sworn By MYSELF, The Word Has Gone Forth From MY Mouth In Righteousness And Will Not Turn Back,That to ME every knee will bow, every tongue will swear. "They will say of ME, 'Only In The LORD Are Righteousness And Strength,'Men will come to HIM and all who were angry at HIM will be put to shame."In The LORD all the offspring of Israel will be Justified, and will Glory."Isaiah 45:5-12 & v 18-25

Do not move the Ancient Boundary, or go into the fields of the fatherless;For their REDEEMER Is Strong;HE Will Plead their case Against you.Apply your heart to discipline and your ears to Words Of Knowledge. Do not hold back discipline from the child, although you beat him with the rod, he will not die.You shall beat him with the rod and deliver his soul from Sheol. MY son, if your heart is wise, MY Own Heart Also Will Be Glad; And MY Inmost Being Will Rejoice, when your lips speak what is right.Proverbs 23:10-16. The tongue is a fire. ...For we all stumble in many ways.If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well. Now if we put the bits into horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we direct their whole body as well (Psalm 32:8-9, John 14:15-17, Galatians 5:5).Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder, wherever the inclination of the pilot desires So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and it boasts of great things.Behold, how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body and sets on fire the course of life, and is set on fire by hell. For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.With it we bless our LORD And FATHER; and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of GOD;from the same mouth come blessing and cursing.My Brethren, these things ought not to be this way. Does a fountain send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?Can a fig tree, my Brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs?Neither can salt water produce fresh...James 3:2-12. All are born sinners by nature. ...Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin and so death spread to all men, because all sinned - for until The Law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed where there is no Law (Galatians 5:16-26, Romans 4:15-17). Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offence of Adam, who is a type of HIM WHO Was To Come.But The Free Gift (John 3:16-21, John 4-10, John 7:38-39, Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 5:1-5, Romans 8:12-17, Galatians 5:5) is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one many died, much more did The Grace Of GOD And The Gift By The Grace Of The ONE Man, JESUS CHRIST (Galatians 4:4-7, Philippians 2:6-16), Abound To the many. And The Gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned (Adam); for on the one hand The Judgement arose from one transgression (Genesis 3:6-7) resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand The Free Gift from (because of) many transgressions resulting in Justification (Romans 3:19-26). For if by the transgression by the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who Receive The Abundance of Grace and Of The Gift Of Righteousness will reign in life Through The One, JESUS CHRIST. So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so Through One Act of Righteousness there resulted Justification of Life To all men.For as through one man's disobedience the many were made sinners even so Through Obedience of The One the many will be Made Righteous (John 3:36, Luke 6:46-49, John 12-44-50, Hebrews 5:10-14). And The Law Came in that the transgression might increase (Romans 7:7-13); but where sin increased, Grace Abounded all the more (Romans 5:8-11, 2 Corinthians 5:17 - 6:10), that, as sin reigned in death, even so Grace might reign through Righteousness (Romans 6:16-18, Romans 8:9-10) to Eternal Life Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.Romans 5:12-21. The serpent (the devil) deceived Eve who then fell into transgression and Adam through listening to the voice of his wife ate from the tree, about which The LORD GOD had Commanded him not to eat from it (1 Timothy 2:13-14); proving to be rebellious to Divine Authority (Genesis 2:16-17; The LORD GOD'S Commandment Spoken To Adam before HE had Fashioned woman) and eating from The Tree of the knowledge of good and evil.And through the serpents lie being believed and Eve being taken in by his deception; death entered the world. And the serpent said to the woman,"You shall surely not die!"For GOD knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened and you will be like GOD, knowing good and evil."Genesis 3:4-5. GOD'S Commandment Itself, to not eat from this particular tree, made it The Tree Of the Knowledge of good and evil.GOD Gives man free will; whether to obey HIM, or to not obey HIM. Of course, the serpent deceived Eve and spoke against and distorted The Word Of The LORD GOD to Adam in his words to Eve, in order for them to sin against GOD.And from that day til now and until the end, the devil is constantly looking to do the same in the world and especially to those who believe in The Only True GOD, in order to deceive and to destroy their witness and to thwart GOD'S Plan and Purpose.And we are warned in Scripture (Ephesians 4:17-32, 1 Peter 5:6-11). But GOD'S Word cannot fail.The Word Of The LORD Abides Forever (1 Peter 1:13-25). 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, knowing that your toil is not vain in The LORD.1 Corinthians 15:56-58. In The Garden, the cunning enemy knew that death would indeed enter the world and in this he himself would rule.And in this rebellion to Divine Authority, that not only Eve, but Adam in listening to Eve, would then indeed be acquainted with good and evil. But not as the serpent himself was stating it would be to Eve for her to understand and as Eve understood the father of lies' words. It is impossible for GOD to lie. Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by GOD"; for GOD cannot be tempted by evil and HE HIMSELF does not tempt anyone (Ephesians 5:1-17).But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.Do not be deceived, my Beloved Brethren.Every Good thing Bestowed and every Perfect Gift Is From Above, Coming Down From The FATHER Of Lights, with WHOM there is no variation or shifting shadow. In the exercise Of HIS Will HE Brought us Forth By The Word Of Truth, so that we might be, as it were, the first Fruits among HIS creatures.Know this, my Beloved Brethren...James 1:13-19. And Eve, being quite deceived, understood the serpent as saying in his words, "you shall be as god's, knowing good and evil", believing that eating from this tree was desirable to make them wise.But at the moment she took and ate and giving to her husband who was with her, they realised that it was not an insight that held caution; it held nothing of prudence. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.Genesis 3:6 The truth was that the devil knew that her knowing good and evil was because in the moment of going against Divine Authority, they would then know that they had fallen into transgression; they would know evil; and through that sin became separated from GOD. And they heard the sound of The LORD GOD Walking in The Garden in the cool of the day and the man and his wife hid themselves from The Presence Of The LORD GOD among the trees of The Garden...Genesis 3:8. This was the knowledge of good and evil which the serpent had deceived her with; believing it would be that she would become wise.But it was the knowledge of good and evil, because of their own sin. Now, Through GOD'S CHRIST, JESUS The SON Of GOD WHO Takes Away the sins of the world, that Through HIM, GOD Reconciles the world to HIMSELF, not counting our trespasses against us (for all have sinned and fall short of The Glory Of GOD), we are exhorted, Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices righteousness is Righteous, just as HE Is Righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. The SON Of GOD Appeared for this Purpose, that HE Might Destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born Of GOD practices sin, because HIS Seed Abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born Of GOD. 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 3:7-10. But The SPIRIT Explicitly Says that in latter times some will fall away from The faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits (of men) and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron...1 Timothy 4:1-2 (2 Timothy 4:1-4, 1 John 4:1-6). Apart from that initial sin and sin not entering into the world, Adam and Eve and accordingly mankind, would have known being One with GOD, yet not knowing it as good as being opposed to evil, because there would not have been any knowledge for Adam and Eve and consequently mankind to knowing evil. Likewise, we too, apart from sin entering the world, would have known Oneness with GOD, yet not knowing it as good, but instead our very nature being as GOD HIMSELF Intended; being Godly; and never being aquainted with (knowing) evil. And this is the Purpose Of GOD'S MESSIAH JESUS' Coming; to restore all things; to them that hear and believe in HIM and The Knowledge Of The Truth; that HE Might Redeem us from every lawless deed and Purify For HIMSELF a people For HIS Own Possession, zealous for Good deeds. These things speak and exhort and reprove with all Authority.Let no one disregard you. Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every Good deed, 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. But when The Kindness Of GOD our SAVIOUR And Love For mankind Appeared, HE Saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness (Isaiah 64:6), but according to HIS Mercy, By The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM HE Poured Out Upon us Richly Through JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOUR, that being Justified By HIS Grace we might be Made heirs according to Hope Of Eternal Life. This Is A Trustworthy Statement; and concerning These Things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed GOD may be careful to engage in Good deeds.These Things are good and profitable for men...Titus 2:15 - 3:8. ...to those who have Received a faith of the same kind as ours, by The Righteousness Of our GOD And SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST:Grace And Peace be Multiplied To you in The Knowledge Of GOD and Of JESUS our LORD;seeing that HIS Divine Power Has Granted To us everything pertaining to Life and Godliness, through the True Knowledge Of HIM WHO Called us By HIS Own Glory And Excellence. For by These HE Has Granted To us HIS Precious And Magnificent Promises, in order that by Them you might become partakers of Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust...2 Peter 1:1-4. Though there is undoubtedly throughout the world those who suffer unspeakable crimes, today childhood is often presented as being an age of innocence; as those who cannot do wrong, but are made wrong through poor discipline or no discipline at all in their upbringing, or by any awful experiences in life or tragic forms of abuses that they may suffer, whatever that might be. And in this it is often accepted by many, especially those who wield and determine authority today, who determine that children cannot be the instigators of evil things or of any cruelty of their own devices, that any evil thought or intention cannot originate first from the child, but must be and is a result of some outward influence they have either witnessed or have been a victim of, even though contradictory evidence to this belief exists. Though of course, that experiences can mould a person is true, to a point, that from a very young age we begin to learn from all that is around us, and bad examples can and do influence us, it is also true that not all who suffer at the hands of the evil of mankind will themselves become that very same evil. Nevertheless, Romans chapter 5 and all Scripture shows and explains the world's thinking, that whenever it will deem childhood to be an age of innocence, it is wrong. And we too as children Of GOD start of as babes on milk, but are to grow to a maturity and on to Solid Food (1 Corinthians 3:1-11, Hebrews 5:7-14).And not all who profess The Name are believing and so walking in Truth just as Truth Is In JESUS and the Doctrine Conforming to Godliness.There are many strange and varied teachings. We are in fact all born into the world sinners, with tendency to knowing only disobedience; unknowing of knowing GOD but instead, and without exception, a propensity to sin (rebellion to Divine Authority) and never knowing GOD'S Will; being in Righteousness And Holiness Of The Truth; and all the while apart from HIM, never learning, never knowing to do only good; according to GOD'S Righteousness. Hence our need to be born again; fleshly to Spiritual, "Truly, truly, I Say To you, unless one is born of Water and The SPIRIT, he cannot enter into The Kingdom Of GOD."That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born Of The SPIRIT Is Spirit."Do not marvel that I Said To you, 'You must be born again.'"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born Of The SPIRIT."John 3:3-8. What then?Are we better than they?Not at all; for we have already been Charged that both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles) are all under sin; as It Is Written,"There is none Righteous, not even one;There is none who understands, there is none who seeks for GOD;All have turned aside, together they have become useless;There is none who does good, there is not even one." "Their throat is an open grave, with their tongues they keep deceiving,""The poison of asps is under their lips"; "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness";"Their feet are swift to shed blood, destruction and misery are in their paths and the path of peace they have not known." "There is no fear of GOD before their eyes " Now we know that whatever The Law Says (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), It Speaks to those who are under The Law, that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to GOD;...Romans 3:9-19. It is widely accepted by many in the world that children cannot be evil until they have first been exposed to evil, in whatever form of evil they may have been exposed to.But the world itself is evil.The world lies in the power of the evil one; satan, who is that serpent of old, the devil (1 John 5:19). Scripture; The GOD Breathed Word, States that he is the ruler of this world (John 14:30, John 16:11, Ephesians 6:12). Of course, none would know a particular evil until a particular evil is known, and the devil prowls about like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour.But the world and its ways, in its ignorance to GOD'S Truth and to the spiritual forces of wickedness, are full of evil, and though we may find good deeds in it, ultimately it knows only evil; it does not know to do only what is good, even in its best intentions (Psalm 51:5, Isaiah 64:6); because of the fall in The Garden when sin entered into the world. ...for all have sinned and fall short of The Glory Of GOD. Romans 3:23. And so it is that first confessing JESUS, LORD and believing in the heart, by faith we enter into this Grace in Which we stand (Romans 10:6-17, Romans 5:1-5). Thus we begin our walk and the Process of The Washing Of Regeneration And Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT (Titus 3:3-8) that though our outer man is decaying, our inner man is being Renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16). And it is The Will Of GOD that we overcome sin; that sin is no longer a master over us (Romans 6:12-14), and it is why The Word Of GOD Says To those who believe in GOD Through JESUS CHRIST, and who have erred in their ways, 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...James 4:4. And then The Scripture goes on to speak of The Purpose Of GOD For the world In HIS SON And MESSIAH CHRIST JESUS; Through WHOM and by faith, GOD Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT, that we may indeed obey JESUS CHRIST and be Sprinkled With HIS Blood (1 Peter 1:2, John 7:38-39, Galatians 5:5, Hebrews 10:26-39), ...Or do you think that the Scripture Speaks to no purpose:"The SPIRIT WHOM HE Has Made To Dwell In us Jealousy Desires us"? But HE Gives A Greater Grace.Therefore It Says,"GOD Is Opposed To the proud, but Gives Grace To the humble." Submit therefore to GOD.Resist the devil and he will flee from you.Draw near to GOD and HE Will Draw Near To you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and Purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable and mourn and weep (The sacrifices of GOD are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O GOD, THOU Wilt Not Despise. Psalm 51:17); let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom (2 Corinthians 7:10-11)Humble yourselves In The Presence Of The LORD, and HE Will exalt you. James 4:4-10. And it is inescapable for every soul that is born into the world, because we all, without exception, are born sinners by nature. Today the world entertains by all the sins of the flesh, being glorified in films, television, in advertising, theatre, books, media, etc, being: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes dissensions, factions, envying, coveting, greed, lying, murder, violence; all the lusts of the flesh. Today and being a relatively new phenomenon we have transgender issues even among children, and the governing authorities which allow to even accommodate young children in gender reassignment programs (i.e., The Tavistock Institute).It is all that is contrary to GOD: The ONE to WHOM every soul who has denied HIM in life shall, in Judgement, receive the wages of sin for all they have done. And children are exposed to all of these things from a very young age and the world seems determined to make, in its general education of the population, the things that are abominable to GOD to be acceptable to all and to silence the voice of the minority who will stand against them. And, although certain films and games and whatever else have their age restrictions, in the world's way of 'protecting' young hearts and minds, the world in its hypocrisy blindly allows our children to see and to learn so much more that is damaging and is always teaching them the wrong way to be. A small example is that there is sex in advertising, there are things glorified and used as entertainment in soap operas and other programs which teach the young of lying, of deceiving, of relationships and relationship issues according to the world's standards. Shows which glorify sensuality and all lewdness and all what the world allows by its own standards of morality, etc.And in it all, these things are blindly accepted and glorified, not being seen as particularly harmful. Both adults, and children who will become adults, are being taught of these things and what is acceptable, what is to be accepted (depending on the moral standpoint and acceptances of parents and guardians as well as governing authorities and law makers).And in it all, children are learning so much more in and by their own curiosity and, all the while being apart from GOD, their inescapable sinful nature. And with guidance, at best, they are being taught nothing more than the world's standard of moral acceptance, which all falls short of The Glory Of GOD.It seems today that the moral standards of the world are becoming more and more depraved, even with each year that passes. Yet to the world and it's own moral standards, the things it will accept, the things it teaches its own to accept in its self justifications and approvals, it cannot see to recognise its hypocrisy and its own cause for the decay across society. The Word Of GOD Itself straight away dispels the notion that children are as innocent as many may believe and would have us believe. And there is evidence in horrific accounts, such as of ten year old child abducters and killers as happened here in England some years ago that will show in this thinking the error and deception of the world and its authorities. We are sinners from birth and we are in a sinful world which does not acknowledge GOD, it's CREATOR. Children can lie, they can know to deceive, to cheat, to manipulate, to steal, they can know to harm others, know to hold prejudicial views in the systemic racism that is today, and are sometimes even known as sexual deviants and murderers. It is why The Wisdom Of GOD Says,Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.Proverbs 22:6. And,Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline will remove it far from him.Proverbs 22:15 And,He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently.Proverbs 13:24. Discipline your son while there is hope, and do not desire his death.Proverbs 19:18. And The Wisdom Of GOD States,"For affliction does not come from the dust, neither does trouble sprout from the ground, for man is born for trouble, as sparks fly upward... Job 5:6-7. The education and discipline is the responsibility of the parent or guardian, and they shall answer to GOD for their own iniquity and evil in blindly hating their children through not disciplining them so as to look to do all they can in their responsibility as parents and guardians to save them from death; just as the children shall come of age and shall themselves one day answer to GOD for their own iniquity.Judgement is without partiality (Ezekiel 18) ... Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for The LORD rather than for men; knowing that from The LORD you will Receive The Reward Of The Inheritance.It is The LORD CHRIST WHOM you serve.For he who does wrong will Receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done and that without partiality.Colossians 3:23-25. The world, which lies in the power of the evil one, has, especially in the last 100 years, sought evermore to remove the right and necessity of discipline, naming it as abuse, in order that children, ever more so, do not know to grow into being adults that know discipline; the differences between right and wrong, of respect for others and for all conscience' sake. And then in turn it is to their children, their children's children and so it goes on, and evermore decaying, and will be until the end shall come. And yet the world (those who are of the world) will always look to hold someone else accountable, yet not seeing themselves as being accountable in any of it, but will judge and condemn others when the judgement and condemnation is theirs also (Romans 1:28 - 2:16). GOD Instructed HIS people Israel, through Moses,"Hear, O Israel! The LORD Is our GOD, The LORD Is ONE!"And you shall love The LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might."And these Words, Which I AM Commanding you today, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your son's and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up."And you shall bind Them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead."And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates...Deuteronomy 6:4-9. And now, since MESSIAH JESUS Came and Brought Salvation to all the nations in HIS Name, we who believe in GOD Through HIM are instructed the same (Romans 11:11-36, Matthew 5:17-20). ...But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for Sound Doctrine.Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behaviour, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, that The Word Of GOD may not be dishonoured. Likewise urge the young men to be sensible; in all things show yourself to be an example of Good deeds, purity in Doctrine, dignified, sound speech which is beyond reproach, in order that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us...Titus 2:1-8. Children, obey your parents In The LORD, for this is right.Honour your father and mother (which is the first Commandment with a Promise), that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.And, father's, do not provoke your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and Instruction Of The LORD.Ephesians 6:1-4. The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.When the wicked increase, transgression increases; but the Righteous will see their fall. Correct your son and he will give you comfort; he will also delight your soul.Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, but happy is he who keeps The Law (Romans 3:31).A slave will not be Instructed by words alone; for though he understands, there will be no response.Proverbs 29:15-19. And the world itself is guilty in its ignorance and hypocrisy, but the world and those of the world cannot see it; and apart from GOD they cannot know it and will never know it. Only GOD can Show it and Show all for what it truly is (1 Corinthians 2).Nevertheless, all shall be accountable in The Judgement. It is an ignorance and hypocrisy that is not even seen to be recognised by those of the world, and who make its laws and uphold its laws (each in its own country), by those in authority, by parents, by each and every one of us, when we will blindly accept the world's standard and all the world will itself consider as being acceptable and being of the good moral standard required to be deemed as being a decent human being today. And all the while being blind to the truth; deceiving and being deceived of the Righteousness Of GOD Which Is The Standard to which all shall one day soon be Judged by. And none can stand in The Judgement. It is why The Wisdom Of GOD Says,Do not love the world, nor the things in the world.If anyone loves the world, the love Of The FATHER is not in him.For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from The FATHER, but is from the world.And the world is passing away, and its lusts; but the one who does The Will Of GOD abides forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour.They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be Shown that they all are not of us...1 John 2:15-19. Here, the Apostle John writes to true believers in CHRIST JESUS.Telling us that many antichrists, being those who oppose GOD and HIS CHRIST, have arisen. That not all who profess The Name of Christian are of HIS people; HIS children.Those who indeed are HIS children remain with GOD'S children, such as the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST and those who walk with them in The Teaching; being the Sound Doctrine Conforming to Godliness. These do not love the world nor the things of the world.They, through following JESUS CHRIST, are constantly learning what is of the world and all that is opposed to GOD according to GOD; because of HIS SPIRIT WHO Indwells them, through their faith in JESUS CHRIST; in Righteousness And Holiness Of The Truth. And when the stumble and sin along the way, as all shall do (Romans 7:14-25), they shall know to confess their sin before GOD (1 John 1:5 - 2:7), they shall know Godly repentance (2 Corinthians 7:9-11). They will know to do this because through their faith, The HOLY SPIRIT Indwells them to their learning Of GOD and the overcoming of sin. Just as John continues to write, ...But you have An Anointing From The Holy ONE and you all know.I have not written to you because you do not know The Truth, but because you do know It, and because no lie is Of The Truth... 1 John 2:20-21. Any who are in the world and being apart from JESUS in Truth are without Hope in the world.Even if they name themselves a believer, they shall be Judged along with the unbelievers.The Wrath Of GOD Comes Upon the sons of disobedience. But someone may say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works and I will show you my faith by my works."You believe there is ONE GOD. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.But are you willing to recognise, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?......For just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.James 2:18-20 & v 26. As GOD Teaches and Disciplines HIS children, we are to do likewise to our children.If we do not, then our children shall grow up undisciplined, unruly, not knowing the difference between good and evil; just as we shall be in like manner in our claiming to be children Of GOD; yet not being HIS children, but proving to be illegitimate children (Hebrews 12:4-15). Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes.Yet know that GOD Will Bring you to Judgement for these things.So, remove vexation from your heart and put away pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting. Remember also your CREATOR in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say,"I have no delight in them"; before the sun, the light, the moon and the stars are darkened and clouds return after the rain; in the day the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through windows grow dim; and the doors on the street are shut as the sound of the grinding mill is low, and one will arise at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song will sing softly...Ecclesiastes 11:9 - 12:4. Psalm 94.

"You, search The Scriptures! Because you think that in them you have Eternal Life; and it is These that Bear Witness of ME; and you are unwilling to come to ME, that you may have Life. "I do not receive glory from men; but I Know you, that you do not have the love of GOD in yourselves. "I have Come In MY FATHER'S Name and you do not receive ME; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him. "How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not receive The Glory That Is From The Only GOD?John 5:39-44. Here The LORD JESUS is Speaking to the Jews: and in the preceding verses Speaking of the Witness Of HIMSELF as well as John The Baptist.In this HE Testifies to The Truth and also Testifies of the unbelief of those who do not receive HIM. I take THE LORD'S Words in verse 39, 'You, search The Scriptures!', as a Command, and is why I have inserted an exclamation mark which is not used in the translation I use (1977 nasb) though is given as a footnote to this verse. Of course, The Scriptures The LORD JESUS Commands to search are The Old Testament Scriptures. In verses 30-32 of John chapter five, The LORD JESUS Speaks as we ourselves, as followers and disciples (learners) Of JESUS CHRIST should hear and should know to consider to do likewise within ourselves; to judge with Righteous judgement and not according to the flesh (Psalm 82) in all matters pertaining to GOD; that is, both in respect to seeking The True Knowledge Of GOD in understanding The Scriptures and also in all our dealings with others along the way; whether believers or unbelievers (Romans 3:9-26). But today we clearly do not know to understand. The Kingdom Of Heaven here on earth today; HIS Church Which HE Purchased With HIS Own Blood, is full of all hypocrisy, where division and strife are rife through false teachings and accordingly, because of them, many not understanding The Way Of GOD in Truth and because of this the flesh prevails, when it is meant to be, in Truth, that our spirit is being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT (Galatians 5:13-18). "I can do nothing on MY Own Initiative. As I Hear, I Judge; and MY Judgement Is Just, because I do not seek MY Own Will, but The Will Of HIM WHO Sent ME."If I bear witness Of MYSELF, MY Testimony is not true."There Is Another WHO Bears Witness of ME and I Know that The Testimony Which HE Bears Of ME Is True.John 5:30-32. If we truly walked being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT, then there would most certainly not be the arrogance and division that we have in The Church today, through The Scriptures not being understood, because of the many not truly knowing reverence and awe of GOD to understand the fear of The LORD: Proverbs 9:7-12. Better is a dry morsel and quietness with it than a house full of feasting with strife. Proverbs 17:1 And we would clearly see to be able to recognise The LORD'S Words in such as HE Speaks in Matthew 13:31-33, ..."The Kingdom Of Heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all seeds; but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches." He Spoke another Parable To them,"The Kingdom Of Heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of meal, until it was all leavened." All these things JESUS Spoke To the multitudes in Parables and HE did not Speak To them without a Parable, so that what was spoken Through the Prophet might be Fulfilled,saying,"I Will Open MY Mouth In Parables; I Will Utter Things Hidden Since The Foundation Of The World."Matthew 13:31-35 (1 Corinthians 2). A little leaven leavens the whole lump.Galatians 5:9 But instead, today and even since the time of the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS, we have The Scriptures being distorted by the untaught and unstable (2 Peter 3:14-18), by those, who, from among our own selves, actually seek to have people following themselves rather than following JESUS (Acts 20:28); thieves and robbers (John 10:1-16) and bringing with it destruction to those who distort the Scriptures and of those who will blindly follow them in their hypocrisy; by their impure, uncleansed, selfish hearts and Scriptural misunderstandings, and, being like them; not being in accordance with GOD'S Truth; The Truth Which Leads to The Salvation Which Is In JESUS CHRIST. And being apart from repentance, any who do so will reap what they sow. 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. Galatians 6:7-8. In these false doctrines where The HOLY SPIRIT is not, that through them and being like those who maintain them, not understanding Righteousness through their not subjecting themselves to The Righteousness Of GOD: our LORD JESUS CHRIST, they consequently introduce and are followed in their destructive heresies; trespassing along the broad way that leads to destruction (2 Peter 2:1-3). There are even those who will recognise false doctrine but through lack of faith they fear, lacking the courage and maintaining a spirit of timidity, that in times which require them to stand on The Word they shall quickly shrink back as though they have not heard and do not understand, but will still name themselves a Christian. May my heart be blameless in THY Statutes, that I may not be ashamed. Psalm 119:80. ...For GOD has not given us a Spirit of timidity, but Of Power And Love And Discipline...2 Timothy 1:7 (Romans 8:14-16, 1 John 4:17-18, Hebrews 2:9 - 3:6, Acts 20:22-24, Proverbs 2:13-36). Your boasting is not good.Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?Clean out the old leaven, that you may be a New lump, just as you are unleavened.For CHRIST our Passover also has been Sacrificed Let us therefore celebrate The Feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and Truth... 1 Corinthians 5:6-8. "Enter by The Narrow Gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to Destruction, and many are those who enter by it."For The Gate is small and The Way is narrow that Leads to Life, and few are those who find it. "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorns, nor figs from thistles, are they?... Matthew 7:13-16. These wolves in sheep's clothing, who do not have the fear of GOD in themselves, along with those also who believe of themselves, in their arrogance, that they cannot forfeit their Salvation; because they cannot discern The Truth because of the flesh, to recognise what truly means to posses Godly Sincerity in both word and deed in all their living.These will walk, alive but dead, always 'learning' yet never being able to come to The Knowledge Of The Truth. And it is such as these that the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS warn against, spoke of, preached against, taught and admonished in the days they sojourned here on earth; through and by The Holy Scriptures; in The Power Of The SPIRIT, as they do even to this day and to The Day Of Eternity; their words to all, for The faith of those Chosen Of GOD (1 Peter 1:2, 2 Peter 1:2-4) and The Knowledge Of The Truth (1 Timothy 2:1-6) which Is according to Godliness (Isaiah 51:1, 1 Timothy 4:7, 2 Peter 3:10-13), in The Hope Of Eternal Life (John 5:39, Colossians 1:27, Romans 5:1-5, 1 John 3:2-3, Romans 6:23), Which GOD, WHO cannot lie, Promised long ages ago, but at The Proper Time Manifested HIS WORD (Galatians 4:4-7), In The Proclamation with which I was Entrusted according to The Commandment Of GOD our SAVIOUR.Titus 1:1-3. Listen to The Word Of The LORD, O sons of Israel, for The LORD has a case Against the inhabitants of the land.Because there is no faithfulness or kindness or Knowledge Of GOD in the land...Hosea 4:1 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving The Knowledge Of The Truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of Judgement and The Fury of a Fire Which Will Consume the adversaries...Hebrews 10:26-27 Righteous Art THOU, O LORD and Upright are THY Judgements.THOU Hast Commanded THY Testimonies In Righteousness and Exceeding Faithfulness. My zeal has consumed me, because my adversaries have forgotten THY Words. THY Words Are Very Pure, therefore THY servant loves It. I am small and despised, yet I do not forget THY Precepts. THY Righteousness Is An Everlasting Righteousness, And THY Law Is Truth. Trouble and anguish have come upon me; yet THY Commandments are my delight. THY Testimonies Are Righteous forever; Give me understanding that I may Live.Psalm 119:137-144. In following The Only Teacher (Matthew 23:8, Luke 6:39-40), hearing The Word in that The Word is understood (Matthew 13:23), such Scripture as Matthew 13:24-30 would also be understood in and for the very purpose The LORD JESUS Speaks It, ..."The Kingdom Of Heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field."But while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away."But when the wheat sprang up and bore grain (John 12:24), then the tares became evident also (Matthew 7:16-20)."And the slaves of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field?How then does it have tares?' "And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this!And the slaves said to him, 'Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?'But he said, 'No; lest while you are gathering up the tares, you may root up the wheat with them.'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers (Matthew 13:36-43), "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn." ' "Matthew 13:24-30. As in verse 25, here is why many today do not and cannot hear to understand, 'But while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.' Today, many are sleeping in the time of their walk, and the enemy; who is the devil, so easily comes in unseen, unnoticed to sow tares.And his purpose is to deceive and to destroy.The tares are not recognised as the tares that they are, and they are accepted and followed, some as teachers and preachers; Hidden reefs in your love feasts whereby in blindly following them many suffer shipwreck in regard to their faith (Ephesians 5:13-17). "A lamp is not brought to be put under a peckmeasure, is it, or under a bed?Is it not to be put on the lampstand?"For nothing is Hidden, except to be Revealed; nor has been Secret, but that it should come to Light."If any man has ears to hear, let him hear." And HE was Saying To them,"Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it shall be Measured To you; and more shall be Given you besides (Revelation 22:11-16)."For Whoever has, To him shall be Given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be Taken Away from him."Mark 4:21-25. Even so, today the Scriptures are being fulfilled, so that not all who may read here may be able to agree; because of the teachings they have accepted and followed and will profess faith in, rather than their knowing to have faith in GOD only, and through that faith truly seeking HIS Glory. They do not receive JESUS CHRIST, but instead choose for themselves to receive another who comes in his own name; though they profess to stand on The Name Of GOD. These are blind guides of the blind, those devoid of The SPIRIT, being those who cause and maintain division for the sake of their beliefs; being tantamount to meaningless religion; and setting even themselves as an idol in their own heart.Though an idol is anything our heart desires and puts first to keep above GOD and our devotion to seeking HIM only; whatever that may be. Those truly born Of GOD, who walk according to The SPIRIT, who know the Discipline Of The LORD (Hebrews 12:4-15) will both know and show to not doing this, to those with eyes to see (Malachi 3:16-18); ever learning and knowing repentance whenever they stumble and sin and being as a constant in their walk to the overcoming of sin, that sin is no more a master over them (John 8:31-36, Romans 6:1-18). We know that no one born Of GOD sins; but HE WHO Was Born Of GOD Keeps him and the evil one does not touch him.We know that we are Of GOD and the whole world lies in the evil one.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 5:18-21. Those who believe any teachings which do not admonish followers towards perseverance and encouragement of The Scriptures leading to obedience of faith, are not following GOD (Romans 15). Any teachers and preachers who do not know to solemnly warn all to be careful of how they are walking and knowing the fear of The LORD, are not From GOD (2 Corinthians 13:5, Luke 12:4-5). Any teachings which do not warn believers of being wise in what we are listening to and believing in, and to first examine everything carefully for themselves; showing no partiality, in genuine love and humility, these are not Of GOD (Thessalonians 5:12-22, 1 John 4:1-6). Any man who does not truly know reverence and awe of GOD is not walking with GOD. Therefore, since we Receive A Kingdom Which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to GOD an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our GOD Is A Consuming Fire.Let love of the Brethren continue.Hebrews 12:28 - 13:1. It is not when one commends and justifies himself in his 'knowing' the fear Of The LORD, but it is the one who walks according to The Word; fulfilling Scripture; word and deed (James 1:19-27); and always looking and learning to do so. "You will know them by their fruits." (Hebrews 12:25 - 13:1). He who walks and talks not understanding love without hypocrisy does not seek to receive The Glory That Is From The Only GOD (Romans 12:9-21). To see an example in The New Testament Scriptures of the difference between those who do not search The Scriptures and those that do, so that they may fully examine everything carefully before they, before both GOD and man, will accept anything as being Of GOD in Truth; (just as any man Of GOD in truth shall do), see Acts 17:10-13, and how it is Written of them accordingly, And the Brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea; and when they arrived, they went into the Synagogue of the Jews.Now these were more noble-minded than those at Thessalonica, for they received The Word with great eagerness, examining The Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so.Many of them therefore believed, along with a number of prominent Greek women and men.But when the Jews of Thessalonica found out that The Word Of GOD had been proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there likewise, agitating and stiring up the crowds. Those here, that came from Thessalonica to Berea, agitating and stiring up the crowds in their rejecting The Word Of GOD, are the same written of in verses 5-9 of Acts chapter 17, who rejected The Word Of GOD for the sake of what they themselves chose to believe. Do not be like them. But be as those named in Scripture as being more noble-minded, that you do not so quickly reject and revile in ignorance to The Truth merely because of how you see and understand things, even being influenced by others to do so, and so choosing to remain ignorant to the ignorance that is in you. We all, without exception, are ignorant to The Way Of GOD, until we are Taught Of GOD (John 3:14-21).And we all, without exception, shall stand alone before The LORD to give account for all we have done, or did not do (2 Corinthians 5:1-11). Have such a faith in GOD as those The Scriptures Speak of; Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah...All these died in faith (though Enoch was Taken Up so that he should not see death). Of these, Scripture states, All these died in faith, without receiving The Promises, but having seen Them and having welcomed Them from a distance and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking A Country of their own.And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.But as it is, they desire a better Country, that is A Heavenly One.Therefore GOD is not ashamed to be called their GOD; for HE Has Prepared A City For them.Hebrews 11:13-16. We too are to consider ourselves as strangers and exiles here on the earth (1 Peter 1:14-21,1 Peter 2:11-12).That we seek to be Clothed with our Dwelling From above (2 Corinthians 5:1-7).For as with those Stated of in Scripture, of whom the world was not worthy, we too are to strive only for The Gospel Of GOD (Philippians 1:27-30), Prepared By GOD (2 Timothy 2:19-21), that we might be established (2 Corinthians 1:20-22) ready for endurance, afflictions, hardships, distresses, yet in Purity, in Knowledge, in Patience, in Kindness, In The HOLY SPIRIT (2 Corinthians 6:1-10) and whatever else we are Called to overcome and to endure for the sake of The Gospel. The Disciples we read of and from in Scripture did so, gladly, and they considered it an honour; because of WHO was in their hearts (Acts 5:40-42, Matthew 5:10-12, 2 Corinthians 12:10, Isaiah 66:5, Acts 21:13, Romans 8:35-39). And we too are Called not to look back (Luke 9:62), not to be a friend of the world (1 John 2:15-17); for if we do, we too have opportunity to return to where we once were; before we first believed in GOD (2 Peter 2:22), and if doing so we will have forsaken The Fountain Of Living Waters (Matthew 13:18-43). O LORD, The Hope Of Israel,All who forsake THEE will be put to shame.Those who turn away on earth will be Written Down, because they have forsaken The Fountain Of Living Waters, even The LORD. Heal me, O LORD, and I will be Healed; Save me and I will be Saved, for THOU Art my Praise.Jeremiah 17:13-14.(John 4:10-14, John 7:38-39, Ephesians 1:13-14, Romans 8:1-17). For those who truly seek The Glory That Is From The Only GOD, their desire is for The City that Is To Come; For our Citizeship Is In Heaven, From Which we also await for A SAVIOUR, The LORD JESUS CHRIST; WHO Will Transform the body of our humble state Into Conformity With The Body Of HIS Glory, By The Exertion Of The Power That HE Has even to subject all things To HIMSELF...Philippians 3:20-21. Their eyes are looking to JESUS (Hebrews 12:1-3), Through WHOM we Receive The Promise; by keeping our eyes fixed on The Things Above, and not on the things on earth (Colossians 3:1-17); through our putting on the New self who is being Renewed to a True Knowledge according to The Image Of The ONE WHO Created him. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as Is The Heavenly, so also are those who are Heavenly.And just as we have borne the image of the earthy, let us also bear The Image Of The Heavenly. 1 Corinthians 15:48-49. Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks (Gentiles) or to The Church Of GOD; just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be Saved.Be imitators of me, just as I also am of CHRIST.1 Corinthians 10:32 - 11:1. We shall stumble, we shall get it wrong along The Way and even some shall stray from The Narrow Path which leads toward The Narrow Gate.But GOD'S Grace Is Sufficient, through repentance; through the confessing of our sins and turning away from them; that The ONE WHO Is Faithful And Righteous To Forgive us our sins and to Cleanse us from all unrighteousness, may indeed do so (1 John 1:5-10). What shall we say then?Are we to continue in sin that Grace might increase?May it never be!How shall we who died to sin still live in it?Or do you not know that all of us who have been Baptised Into CHRIST JESUS have been Baptised Into HIS Death... Romans 6. (1 Peter 4:1-2). When my heart was embittered and I was pierced within, then I was senseless and ignorant; I was a beast before THEE. Nevertheless I am continually with THEE; THOU Hast Taken Hold of my right hand.With THY Counsel THOU Wilt Guide me and afterwards Receive me to Glory. WHOM Have I In Heaven but THEE? And besides THEE I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but GOD Is The Strength of my heart and my Portion forever. For, behold, those who are far from THEE will perish; THOU Hast Destroyed all those who are unfaithful to THEE. But as for me, The Nearness Of GOD Is my Good; I have made The LORD GOD my Refuge, that I may tell of all THY Works.Psalm 73:21-28. And GOD Knows the heart; every thought and intention of the heart (Psalm 139, Jeremiah 23:23-24, John 2:24-25, 1 Corinthians 4:5); there is nothing Hidden from HIS Sight (Job 34:21-23) and HE Alone Sees the end from the beginning (Ecclesiastes 3:14-17). The LORD Knows those who are HIS (2 Timothy 2:1-21). Be strong in The Grace That Is In CHRIST JESUS. For The Law was Given Through Moses; Grace and Truth were Realised Through JESUS CHRIST.John 1:17. "You, search The Scriptures! Because you think that in them you have Eternal Life; and it is These that Bear Witness of ME (Genesis 22:18, Deuteronomy 18:15-19, Isaiah 7:10-14, Isaiah 8:9-10, Isaiah 9:6-7); and you are unwilling to come to ME, that you may have Life (Isaiah 61:1-3). "I do not receive glory from men (Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12); but I Know you, that you do not have the love of GOD in yourselves (Zechariah 12:10, Romans 5:2-5). "I have Come In MY FATHER'S Name and you do not receive ME; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him."How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not receive The Glory That Is From The Only GOD?John 5:39-44. ... Therefore, just as The HOLY SPIRIT Says,"Today if you hear HIS Voice, do not harden your hearts as when they provoked ME, as in the day of trial in the wilderness,where your fathers tried ME by testing ME and saw MY Works for forty years. "Therefore I Was Angry With this generation and Said, 'They always go astray in their heart;And they did not know MY Ways';As I Swore In MY Wrath,'They shall not enter MY Rest.' " Take care, Brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from The Living GOD. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is called "Today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.For we have become partakers of CHRIST, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance (Romans 10:9-10) firm until the end;While It Is Said,"Today if you hear HIS Voice, do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked ME." For who provoked when they had heard?Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?And with whom was HE Angry for forty years?Was it not those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?And To whom did HE Swear that they should not enter HIS Rest, but To those who were disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. Therefore, let us fear lest, while A Promise remains of entering HIS Rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of It. For indeed we have had Good News preached to us, just as they also; but The Word they heard did not profit them, because it was not United by faith in those who heard...Hebrews 3:7 - 4:2.
