"If God is for us, who will be against us? (Romans 8:31) God is a support in trouble. God watches over His Word. May our God be glorified in every decision He makes. One day we will leave, but during the time of our life here on earth may we draw near to Him. "The Lord is not slow in fulfilling the promise, as some think, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but wanting all to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
This is the time of Grace, God does not reject anyone, if man is lost, it is not God's fault. God uses different ways for man to hear the Word of God. Satan has trapped man in sin, "but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) No human being on earth came by Satan because Satan cannot create. God is not the god of hybridization but the Creator of the original. God cannot create and then cause death. God does not want the death of man. Death came through Adam, not through Jesus Christ. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) The most wicked man on earth is loved by God because God did not create him that way. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5: 48)
Matthew 6:42-44
When God enters the scene, things change. That "me" is Jesus Christ.
John 8:47-53
When the Lord spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well, she went from natural things to spiritual things. Jesus led her to see the depths of the Word. It is the same here. He brings them into the depths. We bring people into the supernatural but they still remain in the carnal. That is the difference between the seed of God and the seed of the evil one. The seed of God enters into the supernatural. The son of God will always cling to the Holy Scriptures. When Moses asked, "But if they ask me what his name is, what shall I answer them? God said to Moses, "I am he who is. And he said, 'Thus you shall answer the children of Israel, "He who is called "I am" has sent me to you." (Exodus 3: 13-14) He who spoke to Abraham, and to Moses is also there before them.
Matthew 5:44
Jesus is the author of the Word. The law was a teacher, the law was not an end but something better was to come.
Hebrews 10:1-4
The shadow is the distorted reality. When you have something distorted, you will never have reality. If you stay in the shadow, you will never see the light. When God gave the law, He knew it was only for a time. As long as you remain carnal, you cannot enter into the things of God. "Verily, verily, I say to you, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to children." (Matthew 11: 25)
The prophets knew that this was for a time because God cannot leave His saints in ignorance. Faith is not blindness. Joseph wanted to help Jacob by placing the children in the right order but Jacob reversed his hands. He was led by God. Joseph said to him, "Not so, Father, for this is the firstborn; lay your right hand on his head." (Genesis 48:18) But Jacob was a prophet of God. God takes his servants to the heights. "I know, my son, I know; he also shall become a people, he also shall be great; but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. (Genesis 48:19) This brought Joseph's deep respect. It is about God in man. When God grabs a man, it changes everything. Joseph said to his brothers, "I am going to die! But God will visit you, and he will bring you up from this land to the land that he swore to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." (Genesis 50:24)
How could Joseph know this? "God will visit you; and you will bring up my bones from here." (Genesis 50: 25) We are not to play, we are serious as we prepare our soul for our destination.
Matthew 5:43-48
Who is Jesus talking to? The religious? I don't think so. Religious people are not sons of God. When I am a son of God, I cannot desire the death of my enemies, I cannot say that I hate my brother or my sister. We must not deceive ourselves. When you are a son of God, you do not make efforts to love your enemy. When you try to make efforts, it shows that you are not yet born again. To become a son of God, you must be born again, that is, die to yourself to live with Christ. You have to be able that when someone hates you, you take him in your arms. When you don't know how to do that, you need to die to yourself. God, your Father is the Creator of all people, so you love all people. If this person is like this, it is not his fault, it is because of the enemy. God wants to sanctify you. "Sanctify them with your truth: your word is truth. (John 17:17) God wants to uproot the hatred that is in you but you resist. You make yourself a religion, while before God you are defiled. All this belongs to you because you are a son of God, you have the same nature as your Father. The theater is over, we must enter our possession. We are in the house of correction, God shows us how we should be.
The law cannot bring perfection. When faith came, things changed. Man went from carnal to spiritual, that's why there is the new birth. We remain in a natural body but we can no longer reason in a carnal way. We enter into the supernatural. A son of God is not a religious person, he is balanced. "It (charity) does not do anything dishonest, it does not seek its own interest, it is not angry, it does not suspect evil" (1 Corinthians 13:5) You go from being carnal to being sons and daughters of God. God does this through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
When a baby is born, the baby must cry, it must move to show that it has life. God makes you be born alive. When you are born, you must receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the life of your Father in you. A son of God longs for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. "Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:27) How does He enter you?
JUSTIFICATION > SANCTIFICATION > BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
When He is in you, God has marked you with His seal, your path is all marked out. God is love. If love is in you, you have peace with everyone. May the love of God and the peace of the Lord be in us!
