This beautiful verse from God through Paul tells you 2 important things..
It tells you that there is a "walk" that is the correct walk of faith that pleases God, and this means there is a faith walk that is incorrect, and will not please God.
Also, this verse connects spiritually to Hebrews 11:6. "without faith its impossible to please God.""
So, some of you, are interested in pleasing God.
Some of you have nothing to do, so you show up or live on forums to fight and cause chaos and try to sound "smart" and "theologically deep".
So, for the benefit of those who want to please God lets look at these verses.
Notice that the information that you are to apply as your walk of faith has been "RECEIVED" according to 1 Thess 4:1.
And how is that? Its by the teaching of Paul. Who is the "gentile apostle", and we are currently in the "time of the gentiles".
So, when you are interested and truly devoted to pleasing God, you will find out how to do it and you'll do it.
Go directly to Paul and find your WAY.
So, what is "received" = that is how to please God?
Well, first, its to know that without faith its impossible to please God.
Your works dont' please God, they just make you obvious to others... "by your fruit you shall know them"..."by unfeigned love of the brethren"... and this is how people rate you, and Christians discern you, and as James says...this is for the benefit of other people.
Or as James teaches..>"i will show YOU my faith".....not God, but other people, so that they can see that your faith is not "dead".
Commandment keeping does not please God. FAITH pleases God.
What type?
The type that understands how to exist within God's Kingdom, perfectly, in perfect understanding.
What is all this???
This is your original faith, when you first believed, and God accepted your faith, and gave you the "new birth". "Justification BY Faith"
And then there is your discipleship, that is the daily walking out the "working out your Salvation in awe and wonder".
And the main thing to understand about this, Saint.... is that Christians fail to walk a good Life of Faith because they are trying to do it by will power and self effort, instead of doing it by faith that is pleasing to God, which is to believe right.
Saint, you can't walk a perfected discipleship or withstand the devil's plan for you, unless you understand that everything that is related to how you overcome and how you sustain the Victory "in Christ", is based only in the Spiritual mind of Right Believing.
The Spiritual mind is the mind of Christ, that is "renewed". Romans 12:2
And when you have this mind, you have stopped "walking in the flesh" ...and this means that the sinning and repenting issue you have, will cease.
"if you walk in the Spirit (Right MIND) you will not sin"..."not commit works of the Flesh"
So, what is the GOAL that God has given you that you are to attain on earth by becoming zero flesh and all Spiritual Mind?
Its this...>"the PRIZE of the High Calling of God in Christ".
Now notice where this "prize" is located. Its located "in Christ".
The "high calling" is to arrive to one simple thing...
"The fullness of the Stature of Christ". Ephesians 4:13
That is where you are supposed to EXIT in REAL FAITH that is RIGHT BELIEVING.
If you are worrying about 1 John 1:9, and repenting, then you are definitely not there, are you.
And what is that Prize that is the ARRIVAL of this fullness of the Stature of Jesus? Its this place of Spirituality. Galatians 2:20
"it is not I who live, but CHRIST Who lives IN ME"..
That is where you are to be....to exist, as that is the PRIZE for every believer to come into, on EARTH, by Right Believing.
Right Believing is to exist in the Mind of Christ, which is to Walk in the Spirit.
This is not repenting and confessing and doing it wrong for 40 yrs.
This is not to worry about losing your salvation and obsess on commandments for 50 yrs.
See, that stuff is YOUR MIND, and that is carnal, walking in the flesh.
What is Carnal?
Everything that isn't God's mind or God's perspective.
Its the Human point of view, the HUMAN reasoning, the HUMAN secular understanding that tries to understand all things of GOD by the HUMAN comprehension point of view.
And that is not possible , tho many try it and to prove it you have 42,000 denominations instead of one "body of Christ" who all believe right.
You cannot understand God or understand God's Grace, or understand how to please God, by your opinion, or your reasoning power or your carnal mind.
Saint....God exists in the Spiritual Realm. God is A Spirit. And we who have been born again into God's Spirit, must learn how to exist in a "like" mind. The mind of Christ. ='"walking in the Spirit".
How do you start?
Its just 3 simple things you have to BELIEVE.. and once you really believe them......and not just understand them to be true.......understand?
When you leave the "i see that"...and enter the "I TRUST THAT", realm, then you have Rightly Believed.
Here they are..
1. Based only on the blood of Jesus, you are always kept in perfect PEACE with God, at all times, no matter what you do. Romans 5:1
2. Your Salvation is a Gift from God to you, and you will never be parted from it. Not ever, for any reason. Romans 5:17
3. All your sin is forgiven. Past, present, future. Colossians 2:13
So, Saint, depending on how far you are from believing those 3 simple Spiritual truths is exactly how far you have to go in your walk of Faith to please God with Real Faith in Christ, which then will become your REST from SELF...= and your entrance into the place of perfected Discipleship. The right MIND....."walking in the Spirit" "in Christ".
