YOU ARE OUR EPISTLE WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS. (THE LOVE OF GOD/LAW WITHIN MY HEART.)
NOT WRITTEN WITH INK, NOT IN TABLES OF STONE, (HE TAKES OUT THE HEART OF STONE AND GIVES US AN HEART OF FLESH. Ezekiel 36:26.) IN FLESHY TABLES OF THE HEART.
THOSE WHO IN WELL DOING SEEK FOR GLORY AND HONOUR IMMORTALITY, ETERNAL LIFE, THE CONTENTIOUS OBEY NOT THE TRUTH, BUT OBEY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, GLORY HONOUR AND PEACE TO EVERY MAN THAT WORKS GOOD.
AS MANY AS SIN WITHOUT LAW PERISH, AS MANY AS SIN IN THE LAW SHALL BE JUDGED BY THE LAW. (CURSED IS EVERYONE THAT CONTNUES NOT IN THE THINGS OF THE LAW TO DO THEM/no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH/CHRIST HAS REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree. Galatians 3:10-13.)
NOT THE HEARERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED, BUT THE DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED.
THE GENTILES DO BY NATURE THE THINGS CONTAINED IN THE LAW, ARE A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES, (THEY DO NOT HAVE THE LAW.) WHICH SHOW THE WORK OF THE LAW WRITTEN IN THEIR HEARTS, THEIR CONSCIENCE BEARING WITNESS/IN THE DAY WHEN GOD SHALL JUDGE THE SECRETS OF MEN BY JESUS CHRIST. (WE RECEIVED THE SPIRIT BY THE HEARING OF FAITH, NOT BY BEING THE HEARERS OF THE LAW. Romans 2:13. Galatians 3:1-3.)
Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
2 Corinthians 3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Romans 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.
Israel being ignorant of God's RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto the RIGHTEOSNESS of God, CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW for RIGHTEOUSNESS, to EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVES.
MOSES DESCRIBED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, THAT THE MAN WHO DOES THOSE THINGS SHALL LIVE BBY THEM.
But the RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH speaks on this way, not saying in your HEART, WHO shall ascend into heaven, or WHO shall descend into the deep, but it says the word that is near to you, (IN YOUR HEART.) even in your MOUTH, and in your heart, the word of FAITH, that if you confess with your MOUTH, the Lord Jesus, and BELIEVE in your HEART that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. (FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVES UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS, with the moth confession is made unto salvation.)
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, WHOSOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED, THE LORD IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM, FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.
HOW SHALL THEY CALL ON HIM IN WHOM THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED, HOW SHALL THEY HEAR, without a preacher. (THEY RECEIVED THE SPIRIT BY THE HEARING OF FAITH. Galatians 3:1-3.)
THEY DID NOT ALL OBEY THE GOSPEL FOR WHO HAS BELIEVED THE REPORT, SO THEN FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEAING BY THE WORD OF GOD.
Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
THE COVENANT HE WILL MAKE WITH US, THE HOLY GHOST WITNESS, BY ONE OFFERING HE HAS PERFECTED FOREVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED, HE WILL PUT HIS LAWS INTO OUR HEARTS AND INTO OUR MINDS HE WILL WRITE THEM, AND OUR SINS AND INIQUITIES HE WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.
HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT, HE WILL PUT HIS LAWS INTO OUR MIND AND WRITE THEM IN OUR HEARTS, NOT TEACHING EVERY MAN OUR BROTHER, FOR HE WILL BE MERCIFUL TO OUR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND OUR SINS AND OUR INIQUITIES HE WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.
IN THAT HE SAYS A NEW COVENANT, HE HAS MADE THE FIRST OLD, THAT WHICH DECAYS/CEASES/PERISHES, READY TO VANISH AWAY. (MANNA IN THE LAW CEASED/PERISHED, THE MEAT THAT ENDURES UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE THE SON OF GOD GIVES UNTO US.)
Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
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:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
BUT IF WE ARE LED OF THE SPIRIT WE ARE OT UNDER THE LAW.
IF YOU DO WORKS OF THE FLESH YOU WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT (ORDAINED TO GO AND BRING FORTH FRUIT THAT REMAINS/ GATHER FRUIT UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE.) IS LOVE, GOODNESS, FAITH.
MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE, AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW. THEY THAT ARE CHRISTS HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS, LIVING AND WALKING IN THE SPIRIT.
SANCTIFY THE LORD GOD IN YOUR HEARTS. HAVING A GOOD CONSCIENCE. GIVE AN ANSWER OF THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR. (MEEKNESS AGAINST WHICH THERE IS NO LAW/THY LAW IS WITHIN MY HEART/THAT SWE MAY KNOW, THAT THE FATHER IS IN HIM AND HE IS IN THE FATHER.)
CHRIST SUFFERED, THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST, TO BRING US TO GOD, PUT TO DEATH IN THE FLESH BUT QUICKENED BY GOD, BY THAT HE WENT AND PREACHED TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON.
SOMETIMES THEY WERE DISOBEDIENT, WHEN ONCE GOD LONGSUFFERED AND HAD WAITED SINCE THE DAYS OF NOAH, SAVING THEM BY WATER, THE LIKE FIGURE BAPTISM NOW SAVES US, (GOD WAITED.) NOT THE PUTTING AWAY OF THE FILTH OF THE FLESH, ( NOT LAW/ARE YOU MADE PERFECT BY THE FLESH. Galatians 3:1-3.) BUT THE ANSWER OF A GOOD CONSCIENCE BY THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD, GONE INTO HEAVEN AND IS ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, ANGES, AUTHORTITIES AND POWERS BEINF MADE SUBJECT UNTO HIM.
Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
