Church, how much trust do you have in God. And is your charity fully operable and intact? Well, if it isnt quite up to par, you must bolster it up, until you can fellowship with Gods whole family. Im not talking about those who only say they are children of God, because, of everyone who says they are going to heaven, only a smaller percentage of them truly believed in Jesus Christ unto their personal salvation and redemption from the sins of their past which all men (except One, Jesus) have committed, and for those sins of the flesh, our body of flesh is condemned to die: Romans 6:23: (See also James 2:10): 23) For the wages of sin is death;... Romans 5:12-13: Gods principle of sin and death: 12) Wherefore as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world (the flesh being the door into which sin entered into all generations of the flesh of Adam), and death by sin (Hebrews 9:27); and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13) (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14) Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adams transgression, who is the figure of Him that was to come (Jesus). I John 3:4: What is sin?: 4) Whosoever committethsin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. But Adam was thousands of years before the law of Moses (BC1462), so how could Adam have sinned when there was no law? There was one commandment (law) of God, which God gave the man, Adam: Genesis 2:16-17: God speaks to Adam, the first and only man at this time: 16) And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die., At the time the commandment of God was given to the man, Adam, death was non-existent within mankind. However, since there was now a law of God, or a commandment, death could be instituted if the man transgressed the law of God which He had given the man, Adam. And so, both sin and death began with the very first man, Adam, for Adam had now transgressed the law, and by that law, sin was indeed imputed; and so death passed upon all flesh of Adam, for now Adam had obtained the knowledge of good and evil, and as he transgressed Gods law, he became guilty of sin, and that nature to sin became inherent in all flesh of the generations of Adam, the father of the flesh of all mankind: Galatians 5:24; Romans 7:18, 23. And not only are we capable of sinning, even as a believer (I John 1:9), we have also failed to maintain the pattern of God for the Church of Jesus Christ: I Corinthians 1:10: Paul, the apostle defines Gods pattern for the Church: 10) Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (gospel, doctrine, truth, teaching of the scriptures), and that there be no divisions (denominations, separations) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together (I Corinthians 12:27) in one mind and in one judgment (of God, and not of man). Seeing that we are not in conformance to Gods plan in these last days of the Church on the earth before we true believers are taken out of the world to be for ever with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, God gave us an alternative measure by which we must comply spiritually: First, we must make our calling and election sure (that we are saved by the blood of Jesus at Calvary), and reassure ourselves that our souls are truly saved. Next, we must develop spiritual trust in God and in Christ, to the greater degree, for God knoweth the hearts of all men. Now we must cultivate spiritually that total humility that we must have to love one anothers soul, just as Jesus does. And last, but not least, Charity must prevail in all things, beyond measure, that we may truly have fellowship with all brethren (which includes both male and female in the flesh, for our eternal soul has no gender, for the soul does not regenerate, for every persons soul is given of God at conception, that the flesh may encapsulate the soul as our living flesh forms in the womb. Read these passages for last days fellowship in the body of Christ throughout the entire world: Hosea 6:1-3; John 13:34-35; Romans chapter 14; I John 4:7-11; Matthew 22:37-40. We are living the Sabbath of God, His seventh day, which is for ever, after He had finished all the work which He had done, and ceased from his own work, as we have ceased from works, and walk in good works, which are through faith, which worketh by love (Galations 5:6), as Paul clearly declared in Ephesians 2:8-10. Hebrews 4:1-11, concluding that the people of God, the chosen people, Israel, the Circumcision, which are called Jews in the scriptures have yet to enter into that rest, whereas we, as believers in Jesus unto righteousness which is by faith in His finished work on the earth prior to His ascension back to the Father, where He was before the world was (John 17:5), entered into that rest (Sabbath) when we believed in our Savior Jesus Christ, and shall for ever be in that rest, both on the earth, and in heaven (Revelation 21:1-7). foreversettledintheheavens.blogspot
