The character of God

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

Simple faith is trusting the character of God, our Father. Trust that extends to His care in making the image of our creation become clearer and clearer as we gaze upon Him. A diminishing of the lies laid on us and a belief in Him made stronger as we wait upon Him to complete the good work that He started.

Pure wisdom is the guiding light and the connection to it brings about, as one learns and leans on Him, a resounding “wow, I knew that” becoming an “I know that” as revelation finds it’s home in the new creation’s nature, as truth builds on truth, the only foundation. And a gift that is not taken away, but rather a trust builder.

Edification in the deeper fellowship with God’s Son is the road God has put us on. Gathering the gleamings of life that knowledge has scattered throughout each our life is the joy of discover, the gleanings that are the peace found in today and the weightier matters of forever.

The answer to any question is always found within the character of our Father, in heaven’s holiness, and the character builder of the citizens of heaven to dwell within Him, Him in us, His will finding our place in His heart. Prayers for your edification

God’s word should always lead to God’s heart. If we look at the letter we find the flesh of the body, then look at the morality behind the words and we find the soul’s lesson waiting to be examined. When all is addressed in the Spirit, which God is, then the heart of the matter is revealed.

Body, soul and spirit; our own tripate self matching the Godhead but then comes the severity of the word dividing soul and spirit, account-ablity to Him with whom we have to do.

The first step is always the awakening to heartfelt remorse for prior misdeeds. Repentance comes but once when self is moved away from elementary things. Christ our mediator is connected and awareness of His presence should not be ignored.

Cause and effect has done much damage but by concentrating on His Spirit in character, bitter roots are trimmed. The husbandman of our own interior garden shapes the growth, from the depth of the interior to the growth and fruit given forth to others for their edification.

Negative seeds planted are reshaped in the present to create a future full of joy and fulfillment. Incorruptibility replaces corrosion. His plans are to prosper and not to harm.

By accepting frank spiritual truths, light is given to the lies that are no longer acceptable.

There is the broad way and there is the narrow way. The choice. God rewards those who seek Him. Self expression exposes self to others and the soul is seen. But God sees the heart.

What God reveals to self is the open door, what we reveal to the world is what comes from our own response-ability. Revealed in the letter/flesh, or morality/soul, or a connection with heaven and earth reveals our own spiritual dependance on Him or otoh an unhealthy co-dependance on others.

Living in the light or living in the shadows.

Simple faith is trusting the character of God, our Father

Faith is anything but simple. For a start we recievec it from the most complcated thing there is, the Almighty Creator God.
It is not a static thing, it grows or shrinks according to our spiritual state.
It's complexity carries according to our understanding of what God has done for us and who we are.

Faith is also a driving force for how we live, for how we act and speak.
It is also sensitive, towards at least if we haven't corrupted or hardened it by our way of living.

It is simple because the Lord does the equipping. Maybe not that simple to pick up the tools and follow Him because of the old nature that fights against the new. That’s just preference to law or grace. It tears a lot of people apart when they trip over the truth.
But what God requires He also supplies, and lack of faith in going forward instead of falling behind when knowledge is supplied is by far the harder road. Shadow boxing with self I think is the biblical definition.

Restoration of light to gain fulfillment in our lives today is what every human being longs for and contains the highest commodity there is, peace of mind.

The negative effects of past actions can only be restored when new reactions to events in our lives are changed.

There is but one legit reaction and that is to God. Any other reactions can be accredited to other things allowed the place of gods in our lives.

Often that god is our own ego feeding off our own pride and lusts.

In reacting to anyone or anything other than the Holy Father is shadow boxing with our own ego.

In giving honour to Him, turn it around and give the Lord our praise that He may dwell in the midst of His people. Be still, knowing.

In knowing we share an intimacy with God, the sharing of the heart, that is not tangible but spiritual. Spiritual warfare that captures every thought and brings it captive to Christ is fought there so that harmony can be restored.

Simplicity is the disentanglement from worldly affairs or even the business of Martha that confounds wisdom. Disentanglement from things not pertaining to listening at His feet is always a move toward peace.

Beware of becoming ungrounded by staying firm on the only foundation.

God grant us repentance everyday.

God grant us repentance everyday.

Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

Wisdom built the house, understanding established it, and knowledge fills it.

Being free from negativities by respectfully bringing the Father’s character into every equation (as based on the full revelation of the bible) (letter, deeper meaning, spiritual application) miracles can and do happen.

Trust moves beyond elementary things that makes God willing to perform on our behalf. When we do the known will of God, for instance in helping the poor, He supplies the structures that support the endeavours. As we support others God supports us. But one needs to be cautioned against help becoming the sunny side of control.

Inherently humans have tendencies toward selfishness and also selflessness, both fighting for control of us. Within our own bodies we have alkaline and acidic microbiome that we need to be careful to feed the right ones to obtain good health. Being in harmony with God and nature brings life in fullness now and help in our times of need.

Faith and the act of trust, belief is simple but there are too many people who do not believe this. So they try and by their obedience, actions, etc... attain what God has designed to be received freely as a gift.

So in a sense, for many people who can not let go of their work mind set, approaching God grace through faith is difficult.

Do you believe God's only beloved son Jesus Christ died for your sins and is the only mediator between God and man and rose again to sit in union at the right hand of his and our only Father?

If you don't, you need to re-question what simple (unitarian) faith you have. I'll be blunt, its not biblical or scriptural.

 

[Tolworth John]

Shadow boxing with self I think is the biblical definition.

No it is a reference to training for trials in the Olympics or as a soldier in the battle line.

Yes the act of believing in Jesus, of putting ones faith/trust in him is in that instant simple. It gets harder and more complicated as one continues as a Christian.
Drinking milk or eating pureed food is what babies do, adults eat solid food.

Well actually that's Paul adopting worldly terms. (some translations are more specific)
Leaving behind the milk and moving on to solid food, I agree

1 Corinthians 9:26
That is the way I run, with a clear goal in mind. That is the way I fight, not like someone shadow boxing.

No idea what your talking about. It’s against forum rules to question one’s Christian standing for no apparent reason.

Unitarian or Trinitarian? Either a Christian or not.

I’m trinitarian obviously from my posts, extended to the 4 leaf clover aspect of one in Christ united to the Godhead. Go peddle your non moralistic stuff elsewhere.

The Polish Brethren (Polish: Bracia Polscy) were members of the Minor Reformed Church of Poland, a Nontrinitarian Protestant church that existed in Poland from 1565 to 1658. By those on the outside, they were called "Arians" or "Socinians" (Polish: arianie, socynianie), but themselves preferred simply to be called "Brethren" or "Christians," and, after their expulsion from Poland, "Unitarians”.

My mistake then, I looked over your 1st post many times before posting and never read/seen the part about Jesus Christ, God's only begotten son.

My mistake sorry

Works are always interior, not exterior, to find exceptance with the Father. (except I guess you would have to say that which is an individual disciple thing revealed, as opposed to cooperate dogma) Christ’s example was always shining a light from Himself to illuminate the character of the Father, so in seeing Jesus they saw also the Father. Revelation in our own lives are the same, a revealing of the character of God. The gift is the revealing, the obedience is the building upon what has been revealed to move further into the new nature. Hebrews 6 is imo the scripture that deals with falling back from what is known, and that is Christ. Peter was reprimanded for falling back to law when amongst old compatriots, but he obviously didn’t stay there.
