There is a huge difference between being a created thing, being curious and being committed.
There is a huge difference in what a man Receives From the Lord For a man being Created, being Curious or a man being Committed.
The Lord Gives His Spirit To All men, knowing, unknowing, believers, unbelievers, faithful, unfaithful, in different Fashions, For different Purposes, To Different Extents.
A Created man, all begin similar to Adam, regardless of the history and age of the Earth and millions of other people....each person is an individual who Must experience the exact same thing of being thrust into this World Without Choice to be on this Earth.
We are born With certain Instincts Primarily being ... Trust, Getting another's Attention,
Getting what an individual Wants from another, and knowing right From Wrong.
The newborn baby will use these instincts, typically toward its Mother-
As a person Grows, they discover, and are curious to try Trusting other things....
Point being... what One IS Trusting... Has the HAS captured that Individual's Attention.
Point being....we humans are short sighted, limited in knowledge, limited in understanding, weak beings.
Point being- we are wired To easily Trust Something...but Not wired with the Strength and Power To Remain in Trusting the Something.
We are all wired To Trust God...He provides the means for us To First Hear About Him - and From there forward- Each individual Exercises His Own Freewill...
To Listen, Trust, Gain more Knowledge, Follow Along For Awhile, Stop Trusting, follow along again, learn more, doubt, wonder, believe, Trust, Deny, stop Trusting, Return learning more, wonder, believe.....
These are Natural things a Natural Born Person experiences toward pretty much toward everything... Including God.
At some point in an individual's life they experience making COMMITMENT'S.
They Pledge an oath, by their own word, and Seal That Oath...with a handshake, a signature, etc. effecting Their Promise, ie their Oath.
People routinely.... BREAK....their own Oaths.
They do so for endless and Multiple Reasons.
Concerning God ....For a man Who Makes an Oath To God....He does First the Same....by their own word.
Then a handshake? No. A signature? No.
God Looking To Their Truth in their Heart ?
Yes!
And here The Commitment Struck between a man and God....IS NOT.... KEPT....
BY the Strength and Will OF the man.....
But IS KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD, AND HIS SEAL is put upon That man. That man IS FOREVER committed To God ONLY, Above All Other Things.
Does such a man NOW know or understand ALL things? Puffy, No. Not by a long shot.
Will such a man do stupid things? Yes.
Will such a man have contentions with other men, their children, their employers, neighbors, spouses, etc.? Yes.
And? So what? Does Scriptures give one knowledge of what to do about disputes BETWEEN men? Yes.
ARE disputes between men Sin? No.
Is being stupid a Sin? No.
What Does God Forgive a Man For?
The SIN Against God OF DISBELIEF In Him.
The SIN of corrupting your soul.
And ?
The Trespasses one man commits toward another Man...which IS conditional...
Conditions Being;
IF....the man IS committed To God...
IF....the man renders apologies/forgiveness/reparations Between the men FOR (SIN)??...NO.... FOR...
Trespasses Between Men.
SIN is a Transgression Against God.
SIN is Making A Pledge To God with your word, And then NOT KEEPING YOUR WORD!
OT men pledged THEIR Word TO belief IN God, BY Agreeing, TO OBEY His Law.
They Failed repeatedly to Keep their word, and God provided them a WAY to repent and be Forgiven and try again and the Same was repeated over and over.
Then arrives Jesus with the revelation OF a PERMANENT Forgiveness And The Power Given To KEEP A Man From Ever Again Sinning Against God.
THAT method ie WAY...REQUIRES... AS before, The mans word of COMMITMENT!
However THE Commitment Is NOW KEPT FOREVER By the Power of God, Not the weakness of man.
It is paramount for a man to Know What he is not only Committing TO... but ALSO what Are the TERMS of the Commitment and what they Mean.
Grabbing a scripture and pretending it Applies, When it DOES Not Apply...IS A Faulty error, that leads to Unecessary contention among men.
A man COMMITTED TO the Lord Jesus Christ....is Completely Set Apart FROM All other men Not commited To Christ.
There IS NO Valid comparing them To other men....
Not the curious, the wondering, the iffy kind of following and departing, the denying, the doubting, the believing Without commitment, the atheists, those who choose to still be Under the Law....etc.
A man Committed To Christ the Lord Jesus IS Committed IN Complete Fullness IN:
Thee Lord God Almighty...
And it IS BY the Fullness OF
Thee Lord God Almighty that such a man;
SHALL Never Again SIN Against Thee
Lord God Almighty
OR BE separated From
Thee Lord God Almighty.
Such a man IS FOREVER sealed BY and UNTO
Thee Lord God Almighty.
Yes Salvation IS provided For All....
But that Gift comes With Conditions....
An individual HAS to CLAIM AND RECEIVE That Gift...or forgo it...thus Lose it.
Just as you would have to CLAIM and RECEIVE and any other gift.
Every Gift Available For one To Claim it, RECEIVE it, enjoy the benefit of it.....
HAS a TIME LIMIT.
If one Does Not claim Or RECEIVE the Gift within their own personal Allotted Time frame.... they personally Lose it.
1 John 1:9 Applies to me.
Which Instantly should notify others, that an enormous amount of scriptures DO NOT APPLY to me or others WHO have become made Whole and Born OF God.
God Bless
Merry Christmas
