My Lord:
Not the by the works of the Law of circumcision, of the commandments of men, of the traditions of men, the law of the Jews. Not by washing dishes or mutilation of the flesh. These things that were against us nailed to the cross, the flesh nailed to the cross, the sacrifices of animals nailed to the cross. As the book of the Lord explains with perfectness but men refuse to accept the Truth. Romans 8 and the REQUIREMENTS of the LAW! If there were no more law then there could be no REQUIREMENTS of the LAW! Again, Romans 8:1, " There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. " What has God said? Acts 17:30, " And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: " What has been heard since the beginning? Ezekiel 18:30, " Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. " Ezekiel 14:6, " Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. " What did Jesus say? Notice He said nothing about how it will be all done for you. How He would obey it all for you. He did not tell the man it will be finished soon and there will be nothing you can do to work out your salvation. Did not say, plead the blood, did not say just believe, just by lip service, just have faith, just say grace. He said by every word and not bread alone. It is by faith alone one comes to believe in the Truth and is set free from the bondage of sin and death, with the forgiveness, the purging of dead works. But what is faith, define it and in that you will find the absolute Truth of the matter has not changed at all since the beginning, fear God and KEEP the Commandments. Also found in this, faithful obedience, for faith is faithful and obedient to that which ones faith is placed, synonymous it is all one thing, a good fruit is a good fruit, love is love, from faith to faith. Have faith? Then add to it, then that faith is filled and with virtue added to it, it becomes a faith that works, obeys from the heart. A faith that establishes the Law, it upholds it, it no longer is alone but filled, full, complete and it becomes what that book of steel speaks of, James. It is not alone but with works it stands fast and holds to the things heard, and the things given. The Law written upon the heart in the new covenant. Matthew 4:4, " But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. " Matthew 4:17, " From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. " Revelation 2:5, " Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. " Revelation 2:16, " Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. " Revelation 3:3, " Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. " Revelation 3:19, " As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. " The LAW WITHIN US. It is not void, not finished, not done for us, not obeyed for anyone. True Godly faith establishes the Law that God writes upon the hearts and minds of them that love Him. A soul that love Him keep the Commandments, this fact is expressed tirelessly through scripture, and is hidden by them that call buildings of mans hands churches. Hebrews 8:10, " For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: " Not empty words, but by faith filled, by belief filled, by grace filled and understood. The cup overflows, it is not by empty swelling words that flatter the flesh, just believe, just have hope, just by faith, just by grace. It is by them all and they are all to be filled words, not empty words. Easy to say I love you, but it is a battle to be the doer of love and not just someone who speaks the word. To truly deny ones self is a fight, especially when one wants something, when put to a real test who stands fast? Want to honor Christ who died for all, then fill your faith as Peter said with virtue. Define the way by definition, do the works. Belief is faith and it must be filled, synonymous with obedience, faithfulness, fidelity, loyalty, monogamy, trusty, sobriety, gravity, sincerity etc. Grace is not just a word but bears an effect through teaching, the doctrine, the Truth, they who fear God hate sin. They who Name the Name the of Christ depart from iniquity. It is fruit produced, not fruit produced for you. It is effectual operation of ones fact of state of being. It is faith working by love and proven by deeds. It is by faith the LAW is established. It is by belief the LAW is upheld. It is by grace the LAW is taught. It is by every word we come to be filled with Truth, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. By faith we uphold, keep ,maintain, do, doers of the LAW! The righteous requirements of the Law and not lips service, it is not wearing the cross, it is bearing the cross, your own cross. Matthew 15:8, " This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. " "WE" establish the Law, it is not done for us, finished already for us. If it where as the false proclaim then we would not have Matthew 12:45, 2 Peter 2:20, Hebrews 6:4-6. If it were as they who make all the foolish provision and try so very hard to sell them, we would never be told once that they who have been forgiven and go back to the old man, doing the sins unto death and proclaiming the utter foolishness of how their past, present and all future sins are already forgiven them, there would be no need to tell us that those who do such things fall into an even "worse state" than the first. No need to mention that one will have had the single wicked spirit kicked out and one with the Lord will have cleaned up and the made their house clean, you, your bodies and then go back to eating the vomit of the old man, go back to the trash can and bring back in the mess thrown out bringing it back in, that SEVEN other wicked spirits than the first wicked spirit. So now one has eight wicked spirits and indeed far worse then the first. At what point does it ever say but your already forgiven, pre forgiveness for all future sins unto death? This lie is so alluring to the flesh that falls away and many buy it because they have fallen away. Misery loves company and those who have fallen back living that same old life, love to trap other back into the same old life as themselves. It justifies them, makes it easier to put faith in a lie, in the provisions bought. This I was hit with by so called Christians right at the beginning of the race. Every single provision I have been offered have all been the same in the end, no matter the name they came hidden in, all a license to sin, so one can pretend they love Christ and be friends with the world. Romans 3:31, " Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. " Matthew 12:45, " Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. " WHAT GOOD THING SHALL "I" DO? Notice it says "what shall I do" and Christ did not say how he was soon going to finish it all for him, go get your sin on, there is nothing you can do, it is all about what I am going to do. It is not a sin thing, it is a Me (Jesus) thing, (I really hate these filthy lies and yet they are spoken with such ease by them that love to sell these lies). Yet truly listen to the words offered up as Truth. See how they entice, with empty dead words, but to the lust they are alluring, friendly, easy, comfortable like and old chair one has set upon for a long time. Great swelling words of emptiness, fables, traditions, commandments of men, all the same filthiness. That freedom in sin, liberty as one serves corruption. They promise liberty as they are servants of sin. For Christ said it plainly, they who sin are servants of sin, not Christ, but sin. When one knows they are about to do something they ought not, regardless of sin unto death or sin not unto death. One enters into that moment trying to find a way around what is already clear to them they ought not do. So the flesh can have what it wants and pretend it matters not, right back to calling evil good and good evil. God will not mind, it's no big deal, no real harm, just for fun, I really need this, the provision making machine! Even the simplest of things, one easily will put before God, so they can have what they want more than God. If one truly considers and will be honest, they will see how little they truly care about the Lord God and how much they truly love themselves. If one is honest, they will cry for the Truth of it. So I cry as I see what I have done. Matthew 19:16, " And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? " Did Christ say just believe, just have faith, just give Me lip service for I will shortly do it all for you? No Christ did not take the opportunity to say what all the false teachers to this day claim. He proclaimed the Truth of what must be done by all who will come after Him. Join a denomination was not one of them. Listen to them that tell you it has all been paid for you, how He obeyed for you and how the Father has made you corrupt, depraved, has given you a nature to sin and you have no ability to choose or obey Him, was never mentioned by Christ. Wonder why Christ left all that foolishness out that so many offer today as the truth? Christ said "do not be deceived", "do not deceive yourselves"! Over and over we hear, they (Christ and the disciples) did not use flatter words to allure anyone to the Truth but spoke plainly the Truth, for the Truth does not please the flesh. The Truth pleases the Spirit of them that walk not in the flesh but the Spirit. One hears of those that do use alluring words to entice many unto a way that leads to death. One hears of the provisions that are offered and sold to them that refuse and are unwilling to obey, but glory outwardly in the inability provision making machines, to have excuse for not obeying by ones own free will choice. To obey not the Truth but have excuses for that lust of the flesh fulfilled, served. They who sin, serve sin, it is easy once one is willing to hear and see it. The effort one will go to get what they want and the effort one will go to deny what they want not. The effort one will go through for what they truly love (mostly self) and the effort one will show to deny what they love not, but will with lips say they love if called on it. How quickly one goes blind to the Truth of their own actions so the Truth does not cut through them, prick them. It is not easy to kick against the pricks but this Truth appears lost when one serves sin. Matthew 19:17, " And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. " What need be added to this statement of Truth, Keep the Commandments? Not the imaginations of men, not the creations of men, not the ideas of men, not the traditions of men. Christ surely did not say by faith alone, did not say just believe, it was not by one single instance of the walk, it was by the whole of the walk. Believe? yes. Have faith? yes. Hope? indeed. But having these things truly produces one absolute thing in them that love Him, obedience from the heart by true love being effectual and never failing. Trusting in the Truth, love fails not. Fighting for that Truth, not giving into the fables of men. If one will truly be diligent and work it out they will see and hear. It will become clearer and clearer how one will love themselves over all things. Rather than obey, it is lets make a deal! Right back to the offer I was offered. satan said deny Christ and choose anything. It is just a simple choice, what do you want more than Christ? What will you put before God? What desire is greater than keeping the Commandments? If one pauses here, they will understand, few find the Way, but many go in at the broad way that leads to hell. Matthew 19:18, " He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. " Notice that Christ quotes the TEN COMMANDMENTS and not its "not of works" foolishness. Or the just believe foolishness. But rather if you have faith in Me, then do the works that prove your faith is in Me and fill it with the TEN COMMANDMENTS or by the two great Commandments which is the whole of the Law hung in them. Or by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. For true faith, its faithful and this faithful faith establishes the LAW in you. For this is the purpose of the new covenant, to write the LAW upon the hearts and minds of all who love Christ. Again, because Christ in this part did not mention the first five Commandments, who then thinks they are made void? Also notice thou shall not covet is not mentioned, does one then truly believe this Commandment is made void? Pharisees asked Jesus what is the great Commandment? Matthew 22:36, " Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. " Jesus quotes the TEN COMMANDMENTS again. Nothing before God, your heart, your soul and your mind, everything a man truly possesses is to be given to God. The cost is spoken clearly, the Truth can not be denied, it is indisputable, it can not be argued, it matters not a bit what they say. They always make provisions so one can love the world and still love God. If you stand with them, you will be leavened by them. They living a life that cost nothing, will allure you to live the same life. It is so much easier to deny the Truth when one stands with liars. So much easier to be part of some denomination, pass the plate, sing some songs and get back to ones own wants, then to truly count the cost and pay it. As always this is my walk, shared, if you do not like it, you do not have to walk it. I hate finding I have erred, that I have failed to pay the price. But I must figure this out while I have time to do so. I want perfection, I want to be prepared before he returns. I want to be holy as the Father is holy. I want this and I must diligently seek it and be honest the whole way through. Always counting the cost, and paying it. Stop with the provisions, the reasons, the excuses and be that doer unto death. Put to death the flesh and live in the Spirit, for to keep the righteous requirements of the Law, obedience. To whom do ye yield, sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness? The second is nothing new, it also has been heard from the beginning. The old is the new, the new is the old. It is, as it ever was. Except what was nailed to the cross, the things that the works of, can not save any man. Matthew 22:39, " And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. " Same as it ever was! I have told you nothing new. Leviticus 19:18, " Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. " What is the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ? If it is not obedience then I have no idea, if the whole duty is to fear God and keep the Commandments, then is has to be obedience. If love has conditions, then there is only one Way, obey. Obey it not then it is clearly not love. So they sell what? Love is unconditional! Yet when one is honest, one will see love has many conditions and for it to be love, these conditions must be met. To meet something infers requirements and requirements shows something must be done. Doing something means one is obeying the requirements of what is asked by love. God is love, and if one seeks this, one then will if they love Him, obey Him and keep His Commandments. One will be faithful to Him. One will acknowledge to whole Truth and counting the cost, will gladly pay it. If I love the Lord God Almighty I will do as He has asked of me. I will not make provisions, reason, excuses that allow me to Name Him and not depart from iniquity. I will out of true love depart from it to the best of my ability. For each is given a measure, and by whatever measure I have been given, 1, 3, 5, I will use it to increase the Truth. I will use it to grow in the Truth. I will give it all that I have, to stand fast, to withdraw from them that live in error and follow Christ. To obey from the heart the doctrine received, deny, take up my cross and follow. To deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live soberly, righteously and godly life now. No matte how I slice the Truth, it always tastes the same, obedience or death. This was laid out before me, it will be the same after me, it has never changed once. For the Law of the Spirit of a Life in Christ is obedience or death. Follow Him or you will be lost to the darkness, it is optional, it is requires that a servant be faithful. Same is true for them who love the darkness, for them to remain in the dark they have to be faithful to it. The cost is the same for them, they who love darkness can not love the Light of Christ and remain in the darkness. It is a by the Law this is so. Written it is, so then it is. It can not be changed, no matter what they invent. What are the RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW? If it is LAW, then it is clear. Laws are to be obeyed. If one does not obey the Law, then one can not be a doer of it. The law is referred to as having "righteous requirements". To be righteous then one must be doing what is required by the Law. A Law written within them that have faith, belief, hope in Christ by the new covenant. It goes right back to obedience, sin unto death or OBEDIENCE unto righteousness. The righteous requirements of the Law is simply OBEDIENCE. True love is faithful, it is obedience, love fulfills all the Law and the prophets. True love is faithful, it does not cheat, does not look for its own but others. True love is obedient, to a Law found written in love. I know what this is but I will write it again. I desire the mortar that is tempered, that is true, that will hold all of this together in the storm that is always blowing and the greater storm that is always coming. One can do many good works, can give it all, do it all, but if love is not the source it is all for nought. Paul makes all of this perfectly clear in 1 Corinthians 13. The Laws of Love, suffering long, being kind, envying not, it does not speak highly of itself, is not puffed up, is not unseemly or indecent or inappropriate, seeks not its own, not easily provoked, thinks no evil, has no pleasure in evil or them that do evil, love rejoices in the Truth, bearing all things, believing all things, hopes all things, endures all things and love, true love never fails. It stops at these LAWS, RULES, ABSOLUTES of love, considers, weighs and then chooses what love will always choose, what is loved most. The Laws of love are upheld by them that love, no matter what it is they love, the quality's show forth, the fruit it evidence that one loves whatever it is they love. It can be seen, heard, witnessed, it is not private, it is not hidden. The candle lit is set out for all to see. The city upon a hill is for all to see. Self evident by actions, WORKS, deeds, by ones own mouth and doings. Yet there is faking it, pretending it, and them that do these things. There is deception, guile, distraction, things to allure and entice, there is false witness, and God hateth a false witness, for it fools many into entertainment, amusement, to call evil good and good evil. The false allure with enticing words "lies", that lead people to destruction. They bear false witness of Christ to cause Him to be crucified. All seven of the things God hateth they did do to Christ. With the Truth before one, how can one not tear down the strongholds of lies people offer up as the Truth? How can anyone be silent in the face of it all? When so called professed are nothing more than wolves dressed up like sheep and allure others through the lust of the flesh to believe upon lies. Them that sell licenses to sin and say they do not. Them that sell it and openly do so, proud of it. Them that make the finished works of Christ into some liberty to walk in the flesh and ever be unable to obey Him, so He has to do it all for them. Them who have no true love for the Truth but love provisions that allow them to walk in the lust. Moral depravity, total depravity, no moral reform, born to sin, born in sin, sin nature, inability, can not obey, no one can obey, no one has ever obeyed. Them who always look for reason they do not have to follow, do not have to deny, to take up their own cross, do not have to obey and teach others likewise. Them who teach others to break the Commandments, even the least of them. Then who make void the Law and do so with zeal, with love, with all that they are. Them who think they are in the service of God but kill you, murder you, shut up the Way, deny them who are trying to enter in. Who by the commandments of men and traditions keep alive the hatred but appear to care. It is not a marvel that they who serve darkness appear as if they offer the light. If one will not work it out for themselves, that one will not eat of the Truth but rather lies will be their meat. Love bears many LAWS, fidelity, loyalty, trust, trusty, monogamy, faithfulness, sincerity, obedience, faith, belief, and to whom ye yield yourselves are ye servants to which ye obey. Sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. Proverbs 6:16, " These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: Proverbs 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, Proverbs 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, Proverbs 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. " One thing I always notice, people will quote the second great Commandment, but very rarely have I heard the same people quote the first great Commandment. Even rarer, have I heard anyone express the TEN COMMANDMENTS being expressed perfectly in the two greatest Commandments. Those who say it is not about rules, laws, doing anything. As I just heard two professed say proudly and loudly. If you have any wisdom, withdrawal from them and avoid them that live in error. Them who flatter the flesh with emptiness! If there were no rules, then there would be no need for a book filled with rules. If there were nothing to "do", then there would not be a book filled with things to be done. If it was all about being happy, then there would be no mention of suffering, affliction, tests, trials, persecutions, tribulation, infirmities and yet in these things we rejoice for the measure it shows to us. Showing where one truly stands, for as it is written, all who live godly lives in Christ will suffer and yet they will rejoice in the measure measured to them for the glory of the Father. To know this and understand it brings peace, brings joy, brings self control, patience. The trying of ones faith worketh patience. Rarely does one hear about the cost, but one can hear all about the "free" gift without end. For the more they they do, the more will be offended when the cost becomes known. The trick, to allure with enticing words, to cause many to be offended in the day and get them to turn back. If I tell you there is no work to be done and then suddenly one must work, it will offend you and cause you to doubt, to mistrust, to turn away. Never forget who is the most subtle of all creation. Who with the speaking the Truth used it to try to allure the Lord Jesus. There is Truth and there is the whole of the Truth. The Truth of a little here and a little there, here a little and there a little. What did disciples say? What must we do In Truth? What must we not do? not repeat some words, not say a sinners prayer, no go to some altar call and accept Christ, not any of the traditions of men, not by any of the ways of man. Not by the commandments of men, not by traditions of men, not by any foolish denomination of men, not by any name of men. What must we do? Matthew 3:2, " And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. " Mark 6:12, " And they went out, and preached that men should repent. " Acts 2:38, " Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. " Acts 3:19, " Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; " So Paul who said it is not by the works of the law clearly explained what he meant as he argued with the Jews who constantly argued for circumcision and he even gave into them once. But funny (not really funny) is it not how Paul quotes LAW over and over again to be required of them that Love Christ? How he makes it clear the which laws were nailed to the cross and which were not. For Christ now being crucified and raised, Paul did not mention the finished works, all paid, all obeyed, do nothing for it was all done for you already provisions. No, he like Christ, quoted the same Ten Commandments. For the whole duty remains, fear God and KEEP the Commandments. Name Him and depart from iniquity. A servant is faithful to whom he serves, sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. It is very simple, but the god of this world and them that serve him make it very difficult. They weary those who ought not be weary. The make sad them that ought not be sad. It is a great work to sift through all the lies put forth as the Truth but are just idols of men, creations of men, traditions of men, commandments of men. I pray thee all, weary not of doing good, working this out is good indeed. It is a beautiful thing to work out ones salvation with fear and trembling. To put forth the effort, to count the cost and pay it. It is good to dig deep, to strive for the Truth, to study to show thyself approved, to run the race set before you and to endure it all the way to the end, Amen. Romans 13:9, " For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. " Is it not funny (no it is not funny) how Paul said what he wrote are the COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD!!?? Who reads Pauls words and thinks they are not Laws of the Spirit of a Life in Christ? I say it again, Paul did not get it wrong as I have heard some ask. Many have turned it into a provision for the lust of the flesh. Just as Paul wrote of them that accused Him of doing. There is nothing new, it is the same as it was then. They do the same thing right now this second, they think Paul taught liberty that allowed for the flesh to be served though lust and still have Life in Christ. Paul makes it abundantly clear, they who do the sins unto death will go to hell. For it is remission of sins past and not permission for sins future. To be crucified and resurrected with Christ in the new man is nothing like the false say it is. It is liberty indeed, freedom to live without serving the flesh through lust. Do not try to use this liberty to live as the old man, the price for it will be far worse then anyone can fathom. So I warn you all and I remind myself as well. 2 Corinthians 10:2, " But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. " 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. " COMMANDMENT, noun 1. A command; a mandate; an order or injunction given by authority; charge; precept. Greek - G1785 Word: ἐντολή Transliteration: entolē Phonetic: en-tol-ay' Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Definition: 1. an order, command, charge, precept, injunction a. that which is prescribed to one by reason of his office 2. a commandment a. a prescribed rule in accordance with which a thing is done LAW, noun [Latin lex; from the root of lay. See lay. A law is that which is laid, set or fixed, like statute, constitution, from Latin statuo.] 1. A rule, particularly an established or permanent rule, prescribed by the supreme power of a state to its subjects, for regulating their actions, particularly their social actions. Laws are imperative or mandatory, commanding what shall be done; prohibitory, restraining from what is to be forborn; or permissive, declaring what may be done without incurring a penalty. The laws which enjoin the duties of piety and morality, are prescribed by God and found in the Scriptures. Greek - G3551 Word: νόμος Transliteration: nomos Phonetic: nom'-os Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Definition: 1. anything established, anything received by usage, a custom, a law, a command a. of any law whatsoever 1. a law or rule producing a state approved of God 1a b. by the observance of which is approved of God 1. a precept or injunction 2. the rule of action prescribed by reason c. of the Mosaic law, and referring, acc. to the context. either to the volume of the law or to its contents d. the Christian religion: the law demanding faith, the moral instruction given by Christ, esp. the precept concerning love e. the name of the more important part (the Pentateuch), is put for the entire collection of the sacred books of the OT... In the end it is just faith, just believe, just hope, just grace, but it is not how they say these things are. Faith is so much more and it should be spoken of often. This should be always stressed, it should be dwelt upon, understood. Things that must be done are requirements, and the requirements should be taught constantly, studied constantly. This way no one can be offended in the Truth when the Truth stands before them. To do all one can to have a clear conscience before God and all man. If one obeys the Truth, one will have no fear of the Truth shinning the light into the dark. To buy their from them who bear false, robs you. It steals ones confidence to be able to be that doer. This is how so many buy Christ doing it all for them, when it is us working with Him, though Him, by the example He set, the bar He raised. This is the Way to the Truth to have Life and if any man will come after Him, let Him live by every word and not bread alone, not by the flesh, by the Spirit. This is the Lords day, it is a day God made for you all. You can enter into it or you can deny it. You can obey from the heart or you can rebel. This day God rested, this day I rest with Him. It is not any other day. Man can say all they want, can invent anything they like but the Truth remains the Truth no matter what anyone does or do not do. It is a book of do and do not. You are free to choose what you will do and do not. Sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. We are the words we speak and we speak of the treasures we have in our hearts. We will give an account for every idle word we speak, justified by them or condemned by them. Study to be quiet and do thy work. Godliness is great gain Amen... It is hard to imagine that God knows every single word ever spoken by every single soul ever to live. Not just words but thoughts and intents also. I tell you it is true and everyone, one day, will know it as I know it. Every single one of us. Righteous Requirements - Obey... Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen... https://lesliewross.weebly.com/blog/the-righteous-requirement-of-the-law

All That Matters Is Christ...Weeks before my death the Lord knocked upon my heart, I heard and opened the door. My life has been forever changed, a new man indeed. Me a wicked man saved by the Grace of God, no more that wicked man. Died at 43 and was given a choice to stay or go. If I stayed I had to tell of the Lord Jesus Christ and here I am. I share my walk with my Lord, my candle is lit and I pray it be a light for all to know the Lord Jesus is the Way to the Truth to have Life, Amen. Archives
