The gospel of Christ: The power of God unto salvation.
Do you profess to believe, have faith but yet choose unbelief and sin against God? Have you rejected God? Have you turned your ear from hearing God’s law? The fact that you congregate weekly professing His name, sing songs, and pray is no indication that you haven’t rejected God.
Who is your life’s witness of when you “see” no one looking, when you don’t see nor know God’s presence is there; When you don’t see, don’t know God sees and knows all, He knows the end from the beginning?
The Creator, the Redeemer, the Almighty God, the Most High God is calling us out of darkness into His marvelous light. He is calling us out of the world, out of the world’s culture, out of our culture, and out of our cherished, and family traditions. He is calling us out of self-indulgence, self-abuse: a self-focus life which only pleases self, and or others: God is not the focus. God is not the Head, He is not the Center of the marriage, nor the home, nor the temple.
God is calling us out of the world which is not of His kingdom. God is calling us out of deception. He wants to deliver us from Satan’s bondage to sin. He longs for us to be recreated in Him, His law a delight in our heart and life—the purpose in which He gave it.
In order to live having God’s gift of salvation, we must receive the revelation that His law of love must be received and allowed to take root in us and allow God to perfect His love in us—we behold Him and become changed. We love His law.
The free gift of salvation of God is not operating alone. We are willing to cooperate with God. If the soul by faith is truly justified, and accepts God’s gift of salvation, and has by faith surrendered up self to God for Him to take and clean up and restore unto His image-—the soul is committed to by faith letting God sanctify them for the remainder of their life. This change that He does in us, for us involves our faith in daily choices in our living.
If we reject the law of His love, we reject Him and His free gift. The benefits of His free gift are void. We have no faith.
God governs His people according to His word, His righteousness, His law of love. Many have been deceived of Satan into the thinking that the keeping of God’s law of love is legalism; that it is restrictive, that it is not a blessing. Oh what a deception that has swept through and taken many lives, and will take more!
God’s law of love is a delight to those who truly love Him by faith having accepted His free gift, and by faith surrendering up self to Him daily—that we be governed by Him. God’s law of love is life changing! God’s law of love is a character changing, character building law that is full of joy, peace, happiness, blessings, holiness and righteousness of Christ—life, and life eternal. Nothing! Absolutely nothing can compare to the gospel of Christ!
Yah warned us “Be not deceived”. We cannot abide in God’s word without the Holy Spirit abiding in us. If we the branch, is not connected to the vine, Christ; the branch has no life, it dies. If we are not by faith abiding in the word of the life-giver; we cease to live even though we may be breathing physically—the soul is dead spiritually.
We are warned to not be conformed to this world; but to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. We must unlearn all the world has indoctrinated, infiltrated in us. We must learn of God through the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit He puts in us causing us to keep, do, and observe all His commandments, His statues, His way, His judgements.
To turn away from hearing God’s law of love, His order of governing His people, the gospel of Christ is to literally reject God and grieve away the Holy Spirit.
If the course of life is being lukewarm, and not being hot, nor being cold: God will give us up to our own choices, wants, desires of the heart. He will not force His love, His faith, His freedom upon us: He will not force His gospel upon us.
His instructions in righteousness, His doctrine, His reproof: His whole word: The Old and New Testaments is for our example, God’s witnesses. God has also given us His word magnifying it through they He inspires to write, and publish of His word—in times past, and even in these last days. If we have His Holy Spirit in us, we will discern truth from error, right from wrong and His voice from all other voices—we will not be deceived. Period.
When the soul by faith truly accepts God’s free Gift, they will truly experience His salvation—deliverance from sin. Therefore, teaching by the life lived, daily life choices; and preaching the gospel of Christ that others be saved. We will live His law of love. We will by faith live deliverance from sin: The gospel of Christ.
The only ones who will perceive our life’s witness, our obedience—our love of God to be legalism, to not be the love of God, to be self-righteousness are they who have truly rejected God; they who truly do not know God, those who do not love God; they who truly are as the seven women who want to be called by the name of the Lord, yet do, live according to self, to do as they will and not to live God’s will—His word. They want to live the life Christ gave us the way they want- in unbelief. If these souls who are in this faithless state will not repent, God will leave them to their choice.
All the above simply put is this: The gospel of Christ is the power of God to save us—to deliver us from sin: Justification by faith. We must believe He is and that He is the power by which we will be delivered from sin. We must believe God’s word. By faith, we love Him—love His law. This is life eternal that we know God and Jesus Christ who He sent. We must have no doubt. The just shall live by faith.
