Hebrews
13:15 "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise
to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks
to his name.".The
sacrifices for today are...
But we often sacrifice ourselves
to idols, not even realizing it. What
idols?
Hebrews
2:12 "Saying, I will declare your name unto my brethren, in the midst
of the church will
I sing praise unto you."
If spiritual
persons focus more on evangelizing religious
doctrines.(teachings).with
all their differences, than on love
for each other, they are."teaching
the commandments of men".and
not the love of God, consequently
worshipping God in vain.(Matthew
15:9).with
an alternate gospel. This was the kind
of worship the Pharisees
of the time of Emmanuel
engaged in.
They modified
the law of Moses.(the
Mosaic Law), to their own purposes
by adding enough crap to corrupt it. What
did they add?
What did Emmanuel think of
them?:.Matthew
23:1-33. They felt that the Mosaic Law was such that they could add
to it. It was an incomplete
law but how could they know this with the attitude they had? They may
have figured 'let's complete it our way'.
We worship the Creator in
spirit and in truth:.John
4:23,24;
Philippians 3:3.
It is through the unity of the Spirit.(and
the spirit, the nature of the Great Infinite One, is love, totally, completely
and absolutely love:.1John
4:8,16).we
are brethren:.Colossians
1:12.
It is not not the agreeing
and coming to agreement regarding doctrines, but rather love where we walk
in agreement:.Amos
3:3.
It is in confidence.(Hebrews
3:14).in
His promises that we are made partakers of the divine nature of Christ:.2Peter
1:4.
By means of various trials
and sufferings and the character they mold, we will be glad when Christ's
glory
is revealed, as we will be thinking.(Galatians
4:19).as
He does:.1Peter
4:13.
And, we act from our thoughts!
