The God of all grace,
would not forgive me (?) for misunderstanding or being led astray by a doctrine of a demon
To believe I have to keep faithful to Jesus's words and actually do what He says to receive salvation
Apart from Him, I can do nothing,
now with His spirit, all grace abounds and the power to overcome all sin and this world and all power of the enemy is broken.
Believing while being un-submitted, unfollowing, disobedient..
wrath comes on children of who?
Disobedience
What profit is that, a wicked lazy servant
How do I fulfill the will of God
Whilst fulfilling the will, lusts and desires of myself or the flesh? The soul that sins shall die
Flesh profits nothing
Those in the flesh cannot please God
Without faith, impossible to please God
Faith that is sanctified in me, faith of Jesus overcomes the world
Those led by the Spirit will not fulfill the lusts and desires of the flesh,
therefore,
His Holy Spirit of Truth in Christ, Spirit of Grace, Of His Son, of Adoption
is the way to please God
(Jesus does everything pleasing to the Father*)
(Led into all truth, walk as He walked)
(No condemnation for those in Christ Jesus who are led by the Spirit)
*Keep my commands and abide in my love as I kept my father's commands and abide in His love
…
If I have holy fear and keep His words sacred and important, striving to do my best to be faithful, He rejects me because I attempted righteousness…
But if I "trust" Him and live my mediocre life but pay Him lip service and half hearted service, I get rewarded with eternal life?
….
Where does it say future sins forgiven?
Forbearance for the sins that are past, He delivered up His son…
James says the believer had forgotten he was cleansed of his past sins.
John tells us we confess our sins. Disobedience is pride, or rebellion, apathy or a lack of love, honesty, and transparency.
It doesn't say you are forgiven, so confess.
If we confess, (then!) He is faithful to forgive us.
No confession, no forgiveness
It helps to know ahead of time the response, but do not be presumptuous or lax or careless in obedience. Confess and receive forgiveness, grace, goodness and love.
1st John: Brother will pray for sin (not leading to death) and the Lord will forgive.
If sinning to the death doesn't matter, why James 5?
If we tell ourselves we are sinners, never able to overcome, is it according to our faith?
Does God want us partakers in His holiness,
Does He want us conformed into the image of Christ,
Does He want us perfecting holiness in the fear of God?
Does He want us holy as He is holy?
Chastening of the Lord to yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness...
Suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin…
Those in the Spirit will not fulfill the lusts and desires of the flesh
Walk as He walked
Crucify the lusts and desires of the flesh
Put to death (through the spirit) the lusts and desires of the flesh
Praying in the spirit always,
Mindful of God,
Do we sacrifice fellowship ( love of God, grace of Jesus, communion in Holy Ghost )
By choosing sin over Jesus*
Resist devil (and he flees) draw near to God
*whoever sins willingly, impossible to renew, [we are called to abide in Him, ( not in sin, )] because they forsook Christ for a morsel of food like Esau
Does not tempt us beyond what we are able, provides the way of escape.
The spirit of grace , truth, holiness ( hagios) is the sanctify-ing Spirit of Christ
Let us boldly approach the throne of Grace to receive grace to help in our time of need.
When do we need grace? During the trial, during the testing, to overcome sin and the flesh
If through the spirit you put to death the deeds of the flesh...
Through the divine nature, we can escape the corruption in the world, that is lust…
Some profess godliness, but deny the power thereof
We grow in grace and truth, in holiness and righteousness, trained in righteousness, chastened to yield the fruit, that we would be partakers of God's holiness, He is the firstborn of many brethren, bringing many sons to glory, conformed into the image of Christ, to the praise and glory of God the Father
….
Apart from God we have no hope
Children of wrath.
Brought near by the cross and the blood of Christ, we have hope.
Keeps This hope/ promise purifies himself.
Given right to become children of God
Not already become…
Paul had not attained, if by any means he might attain the resurrection from the dead
Run in a way that is worthy of the calling, that you might receive the crown prize
If we are given all the help of God through God's Holy Spirit, and we don't know, appreciate, love God, esteem Him worthy,
we become the wicked lazy servant
There's nothing more that can be done for us…
it's impossible to renew them to repentance
Esau sought it carefully with tears …
Forsake Him and He casts you off forever…
See that None fail the grace of God (therefore it is possible!!!)
If you judge yourself unworthy of everlasting life…
If we would judge ourselves, not be judged
Test yourself if in the faith
Walk worthy of your calling
Making your calling and election sure
Pray accounted Worthy
Many called few chosen
Narrow is the way
Strive to enter in through the narrow gate
Do not fall from your steadfastness or be led away with the error of the wicked
Exhort one another daily against the deceitfulness of sin
If you hold fast the faith, Hebrews 3, 4
To those who overcome - rev.
We're are not those who withdraw to perdition…
(Sows to mire, dogs to vomit, who are again entangled and overcome by the world )
Don't give up! faithful to the end!
Take it to heart, Jesus has overcome the world!
…
Brought life and immortality to light through the gospel
All those who were held in bondage to the devil in fear of death
No need to fear the devil,
Fear God obey Him.
...
The True God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Is worthy to be feared,
And judges righteously,
And He is no respecter of persons,
The is no partiality with Him,
Behold the goodness and severity of God
Goodness if you continue in God's goodness, otherwise severity...
Knowing the terror of the Lord we persuade men,
Give yourself to the doctrine and save yourself (from this wicked and adulterous generation) and those who hear you...
What manner of people we should be perfecting holiness in the fear of God!
God have mercy on me a sinner!
Give me your faith-
Your righteousness,
Your strength,
Your salvation!
Your Joy and your love!
Without you I'm nothing!
With man perfection is impossible,
With you, ask things are possible!
Selah!
