" .... the key to solving many difficult scriptures
is about knowing how to discern between self-righteousness
and the gift of righteousness."
+
Adam and Eve were created as spirit beings.
The fall relegated them to mind beings.
Christ has anakainosed (renewed) us to spirit beings.
Now we are led by the Spirit for true interactions.
+
Surrender your mind to the Spirit of Truth,
then God's will is manifest through you.
(R12)
+
Christ is the cause of our predestined adoption,
- not us !
+
Self-qualifying actually is the only thing that will keep you out.
Jesus hasn't called the qualified.
He calls those that know they are incapable of qualifying themselves.
+
Israel under Moses should have said,
we already have a grace covenant in Abraham.
Instead they said to Moses,
Yes, we can keep those terms !
+
The religious think that
"even if you look with lust .. "
is the new standard for the "church".
No, it was always the standard under OT law,
no one can live it, we need grace !
+
The pharisees made it look like they could live the law.
But the law was fault finding, even in the miniscule.
It was brutal, violent, crushing and totally against us.
Under law, there was no possibility of intimacy with God.
+
Self-righteousness is always exposed when one has a covenant
that is reliant on mankind, to succeed.
The law was supposed to show us that.
Instead the religious, incorporate it today.
But your fluctuating performance and righteousness
is nullified by Christ.
+
The law says "Perform"; Grace says "Trust".
Performance is self-focused; Trust is Jesus focused.
Self is never enough; Jesus is more than enough.
+
In Gal.5
[ Flesh represents
works, self-righteousness, legalism,
performance, the "safety" of law
and the unworkability of Grace.
Spirit represents
trust, gifted righteousness, Jesus qualifying us,
and the necessity of Grace to endure,
in all things, forever. ]
