My Lord:
By grace you are saved through faith.
Ephesians 2:8, " For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: "
If grace teaches us to deny ourselves ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world. Then By grace you are saved through what?
Again, for I need to hear it again.
Faith is faithfulness...
Faith is fidelity...
Faith is sincerity...
Faith is monogamy...
Faith is loyalty...
Faith is trusty...
Faith is absolutely one thing filled with all of these things, OBEDIENCE.
By Grace you are saved through faithful Obedience to the teaching that grace is a teacher and it is time to work it our for ourselves. No one else can give to you what is a gift of God, the crucified Son for the atonement of sins past. No one can sacrifice their flesh or any flesh and know the purging of ones conscience for sins past and of dead works. It is the absolute thing Christ did for us all who will acknowledge it and walk in the Truth of it. They say He did not come to moral correct anyone, "to morally reform the unsaved" and that is a quote by the professed.
Moral - of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior, ethical moral judgement.
So when we read judge with righteous judgement I guess that has nothing to do with "morals" reformed?
Moral - conforming to a standard of right behavior.
Then these scripture must be in error.
To judge righteously one must have something, possess it within themselves first before they can fulfill all righteousness, fulfill their obedience as written. One must have "morals", a standard as written in the book of the Lord. Set ye up a standard, to meet a bar set for all must meet it, Seek, Repent and Sin No More. All must know what the good and perfect will of God is and be a doer of that that which they come to understand. What teaching they receive from God, they are to obey from their hearts, and it must be with "all" their hearts. There is nothing before God and the Son, there is nothing at all before Him and there is nothing after Him.
What is the whole matter? To fear God and keep His Commandments, or simply said "obey".
What is required of us? To be just, love mercy and walk humbly with God. Which is "obey" from the heart the doctrine received of God and not that foolishness the many follow, doctrines of men.
Judge righteously requires moral reform.
Deuteronomy 1:16, " And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. "
Judge righteously requires moral reform.
Proverbs 31:9, " Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. "
To have the infinitely wicked heart removed as written. So if you say you still have a wicked heart you have not received the gift. For God will give you a heart of flesh and remove the heart of stone. The very reason we all must be born again, for God DOES NOT love the wicked, He loves them that love Him as written in the book of the Lord. You must receive a new heart and you must be reborn to get that new heart. You must be crucified with Christ so the old man and the affections and lusts are put to death with Christ. You must not rebuild that which is torn down. You must not return to your vomit. You must not be washed and return to the mire. You must b complete, clear in the understanding of what is required, what must be obeyed from the heart.
I hear so many parrot the things that please their flesh and others walking in the flesh. I rarely hear anything but the same few verse from them. I have heard judge not until vomit sits upon my throat continually. Yet never with the expression of what it means.
There are no contradictions in scripture, yet this clearly appears to be one according to parrots who parrot "judge not". It is clear we are to judge righteously and to do so we must do as required.
John 7:24, " Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. "
Remove the beam from thine own eye, it is not removed for you, it was not obeyed for you, it will never be done for you. You either love the Truth or you do not, you either obey from the heart the real doctrine of God or you do not. You either add nothing and take nothing from the Truth or you invent your own, chase after the vain imaginations of your own mind and the minds of others who equally love to walk in the lust of their flesh. Truly I am caught in a betwixt, God give me strength. A prayer no doubt that tops the charts of prayers. Give me strength to continually hear the foolishness and to weary not of doing good works.
to. I am not saved until the end, yet if I walk in the Truth while I am hear doing the good and perfect will of God, I have nothing but hope in the Lord Christ that I will be saved, be crowned in the end. He told me it would all be alright in the end and that is all I have in this life to carry me when I feel I can not take another blow, another step, another filthy vile disgusting lie.
One can not judge righteously until they have that beam removed then they can help others remove the beam in their eyes. To remove the hypocrisy that so many wallow in, naming the Name of Christ and not departing from iniquity, not being moral reformed.
Moral - capable of right and wrong action .
The one thing they that serve the devil love to say, "you can not do it". You can not obey from the heart, your heart is infinitely wicked. Even well known so called preachers love to tell of their infinitely wicked heart even after supposedly being born again. They profess and boast loudly of the inability, of not being able and that no one can be righteous, which is to obey. If this is not a sad state to be then there is not a state that is sad to be found.
Reformed - changed for the better.
To capitalize upon something, which in this case is the being born again, the new heart. What good does it do to rebuild, to walk in the same filth? You as the prodigal son did and that was not done for him, stood up, walked out of the mire and returned to the Father. Why do all of that and go back to the mire where you worked out to be the place you absolutely did not want to be?!
Why would anyone rebuild the filth, return to the mire? Why would anyone teach others that they are free in doing so. Free to be washed and trample the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ under their feet. Only satan and them that serve him would speak so foolishly.
Galatians 2:18, " For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. "
Build what again? How can something be rebuilt that is bad for you if you are freed and safe no matter what you do? You are not to be reformed but to just believe, never mind what the word means, never mind what faith means, never mind what grace means, never mind they have made these words empty, hollow and devoid of any power to be able to do anything but just parrot some words and feign them hollowly. They can not lose their salvation so they can build back up anything they want, in fact, they have not even torn down the old, so they do not need to rebuild anything. They remain the same as they ever were. No change and again, this is so important to myself, they boast of it proudly, the foam out their same like waves of the sea boldly. To them this is coming to the Throne of Grace boldly, in their sins and they remain in them. They walk in their flesh and they have no problem with confessing they do, that they are saved yet bear the carnal mind. Walk in the flesh whenever they want and it is already forgiven them, for there is no Law they are bound to. Never mind the Law of Grace, the Law of Life, the Law of Love, the Law of Faith, the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ. Never mind it is all Law. What ever God Commandeth is Law. Never mind all that Paul wrote is Law, is the Commandments of of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 14:37, " If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. "
Without the deeds of the Law, circumcision, the flesh nailed to the cross once and for all. Is the Law fulfilled in Christ and no one can again do this. They can but it will not remit sins past, nor purge their conscience of dead works. The affections and the lusts of the flesh crucified with Christ to set you free indeed so you can obey, so you can Go and Sin No More "IF" you truly love Him. Truly there is much lip service in this, many say they do but few truly do. Many seek to enter in but few are able. Many call Him Lord but few obey Him. Why call Him Lord, Lord and do not what He has asked?
Romans 3:28, " Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. "
Not of yourselves, for you can not sacrifice your flesh, for no flesh will glory before God, it is not by the works of the flesh, not by works, but by faithful obedience to the Truth. Christ is the Way to the Truth to have Life eternal and everlasting. There is no other way, no other Name under heaven by which ye can be saved IN THE END. if you endure till the end. For no man can be saved but they endure unto the end. You are a living sacrifice, your life that you live, to have put on the mind of Christ, to walk as he walked, is the standard set, the bar met. It is the light shinning in the dark for all to see. It is the city built upon a hill that can not be hidden. The candle lit that can not be put into a basket or under thine bed. It is to be placed for all to see, for all to follow. The sacrifice of thine lips, the life you live, the moral purity, to be purified, purged, cleared, complete.
James 4:8, " Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. "
Titus 2:14, " Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. "
2 Corinthians 7:11, " For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. "
Hebrews 9:14, " How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? "
1 Corinthians 5:7, " Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: "
2 Timothy 2:21, " If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. "
How does anyone be complete, clear, purified, moral, upright, faithful, sincere, humble and all like to these? BY OBEYING THE TRUTH THROUGH THE SPIRIT. That ye obeyed from the hear that form of doctrine received by God.
1 Peter 1:22, " Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: "
Romans 6:17, " But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. "
Yet by the power of darkness and them that serve death and hell, ye are taught to refuse to obey and that even though you refuse you will have life, peace, rest and safety. They all walk in the vain imaginations of their infinitely wicked hearts, Christ tries to gather them but they refuse to be gathered, refuse to heed the call of the Lord. Refuse to morally reformed, refuse to know that Christ came to destroy the works of the devil. Not leave them intact so you would be unable to obey the Truth. It is you who will not allow them to be destroyed, you who rebuild them, who maintain them, who use that untempered mortar to build upon the foundation of sand, vain imaginations, inventions of men through the power of the devil loving the works of darkness. Love to be told they have a sin nature, that they are born to sin, that they can not do anything but fail, even if they are born again they still remain that old man, still have that old heart, still are liars and thieves, unable to even truly seek after God Almighty, that none seek after Him and that none are righteous, no, not even one. They says it is irresistible, yet by the very word of Lord we see they easily refuse.
Jeremiah 11:8, " Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not. "
1 John 3:8, " He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. "
Sure sounds like they have no problem refusing to obey the grace that teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, for they admit they can not deny it. No problem refusing to live soberly, righteously and godly lives in this present world, for they admit the will not, can not, and do not have to. The Holy Ghost did not come to reprove them, convict them of sin, it came to free them in their sins because all things are not possible with God. No one can Go and Sin No More and you find this is called the church, this sad dead excuse for the example that Christ gave us to follow Him by has been turned upside down and He has no choice but to love them just the way they are. Christ calls, they refuse, but so what, they believe right?
Matthew 23:37, " O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! "
Luke 13:34, " O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! "
Again, they who Christ speak of in Matthew 7 clearly believed, clearly and surely said they had faith and knew the Grace of God. Yet are told to depart for Christ NEVER knew them. There will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. There is a place that is an everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and it is far worse then words can express. The smoke of them who find themselves kept from His presence, is torment. Torment, knowing they chose to be separated from Him, they had free will to choose and they chose death and hell. For the true death is separation from the presence of the Lord. A train is coming, STOP, take not another step, prepare, watch and wait.
The example, Christ was perfected through suffering and was humbled through obedience. Christ is our righteousness, our righteous example, and they who do righteousness are righteous even as Christ is, for His finished works are no ones works, but they are doers of them, Amen.
Obeying, obedience, for it is sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness.
If God is not teaching us morals, ethics, reform, then I am truly lost forever and have wasted the last six years of my life writing about an event in my life that must not of happened, could not of happened. If I can walk in the filth of my fleshly desires, if I can walk in my passion and desires, if my affections and lusts rule me then I there is not point any of this whatsoever. If I can just make provisions to fulfill the lust of my flesh, surely this is all a waste of time. The word "capable" speaks loudly, the ability screams out, the fact that through Christ and by nothing else ye are able to walk in the newness of life which is the opposite of the old life. The opposite of being corrupt, immoral, is morality, to be changed for the better and not to remain as you were.
They only explain it if it is provisions being made, reason they are free from the Law, freed from works, freed in their sins. As long as they can fulfill the lust of their flesh then they love the Lord Jesus. As long as they can get high, get drunk, speak filthy, act filthy, do whatsoever the flesh wants, then truly this god that allows this they love with all their hearts and might.
Grace abound in you all that truly love Christ.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen...
