Under the old covenant,
it was performance based on laws, rules and regulations. In the new
covenant, Christ is the sureness of it, the sureness of what's called
the new covenant:.Hebrews
7:22.
Doing things to 'please'
the Creator throws
out grace. Living by faith is better:.Romans
9:32; 2Corinthians 5:19.
When you want something from
God, learn
how to get it. And one thing is, what are you going to do when what
you want from God comes into physical life for you?
Living by faith is living
by your love in each present moment. Living by a law
is neurotic.observance,
that is, one is looking at actions to see if they are in line with laws
he or she may have accepted to be life guidelines. But, spiritual love
obviates
being physically concerned with law:.Romans
13:10 "Love works no ill to his neighbour, therefore love is the fulfilling
of the law." Colossians 2:20 "Wherefore
if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though
living in the world, are you subject to ordinances?" Colossians
3:3 "For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God." Romans
6:5 "For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection." Colossians
2:12 "Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him
through the faith of the operation of God, who has raised him from the
dead."
We are human beings, not
human doings. And what are we being? We are to be in
God, right here, right now. How?
It was His works
that laid away our performance regarding what was needed to have and maintain
a
relationship with the Creator the Father:.Hebrews
1:3. It was His way, to use His
own works of righteousness to qualify Himself to give us the gift of
righteousness.(Romans
5:17).bringing
us into the Family. It is by
this that you have been given the gift of faith from your Creator.
He loves us that much!
Christ worked:.John
5:17. We too should have good works. One's work has nothing to do with
the fact of an individual's beingness.before
the multiverse was formed, only of a reward
they may get.
Romans
14:23 ".....whatsoever is not of faith is sin.".The
original Greek for word 'sin' means 'missing
the mark' or, 'not on part with', meaning not
aligned with. It means 'negative',
that is, that which is out of the frequency
of the Creator, the Great
Infinite One.(which
is love). And here our missing
the mark puts us out of balance with the love workings of the multiverse,
aiming instead at gratification
and profit for the self, thus missing
the mark of present eternity.
DaveXRPLion
in one of his videos, has
defined
sin as being an acronym
for 'Self.Inflicted.Narcissism'
and that's what it is.
One must be aligned with
the 'operating frequency'.of
love.in
order to be in sync
with the higher
consciousness of the Creator. A spiritual focus involves thoughts and
actions based on love. That's why Bruno said
this...
James
2:22,23 "See you how faith wrought with his works and by works was
faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham
believed God and it was imputed unto him for righteousness and he was called
the Friend of God."
To miss a mark, one must
know the mark, otherwise he or she won't know about indeed
missing the mark. One isn't responsible for what he has no knowledge of:.Romans
5:13. And if he does have knowledge of his or her missing the mark,
should
that knowledge include asking forgiveness of God for what's known,
that is, asking forgiveness for wrongs done?
Therefore anything uncaring,
unkind, inconsiderate, etc. is
not of the Creator, but is a construct as a result of man's greed and selfish
concern for self at the expense of others. Also means not in alignment
with the Universal Higher Consciousness. High
consciousness things are what the Great Infinite One exists by and
has set up for great living now and for
humanity's prosperity.
Any general way of living,
such as our hearts, from where all our expressions come from, the thoughts,
the words and the deeds that don't stack up to meet the Creator's nature
of love with all that comprises,
can be categorized as sin, a missing the mark of the consciousness that's
better to have.
Faith is so very important:.Hebrews
11:2. One's relationship with the Creator is by faith alone:.Hebrews
11:6. This is how we 'hit the mark' of our Creator's high calling:.Philippians
3:14 "I press toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God in Christ Emmanuel."
Whatever one is not sure
of.(doesn't
have faith and confidence in).should
be 'put on the shelf' until more information comes on it for further consideration.
Sin is breaking a law that
one believes necessary to keep in a relationship with God, when that is
not
the case at all.
Christ
is in your heart. Listen to your heart. It will not lead you to where
it may not be appropriate at any particular time.
The salvation the Creator
gives is just that, a free gift.
Doing something.(tithing,
commandments, church going, whatever).to
get from God that which He has already freely given you in Christ, but
that you believe you still must do something to get, is ludicrous.redundancy.
You already have salvation and favor with your Creator. Progress from there.
How?
Some Christians may be off
a bit: They hope the Creator will approve of their works of church
attendance, giving dinners to their friends in the church, tithing,
prayer,
study,
etc. and have enough mercy regarding their faults to give them a place
in His kingdom. They must realize that
He already has had mercy upon them, enshrouded them with His grace
and given them the sureness of being in His kingdom, regardless of their
works.
Have the fire to now qualify
for the highest position in His Kingdom that you are capable of getting.
Press on now toward your
reward by doing good works.(Philippians
3:14), works done not to gain salvation
and favor with God; you already have that. But works to gain you a reward
in that salvation, works done because you love God and His people and all
people here.
It is only by faith in the
fact Emmanuel lived,
died
for all sins.(past,
present and future ones).and
rose
from the dead, that we are saved:.Ephesians
2:8.
But the works we do in
spite of all our
trials and tribulations.(Revelation
3:8).in
life are precious toward the reward each of us will individually receive:.James
2:8; 14-26; 3:13;
1Peter
1:7; Revelation 2:19; 3:15;
2:23,26;
Hebrews
10:24; Titus 2:14; 3:8;
1Timothy
6:18;.(*).
The individual reward for
works is to be understood from the collective gift of being there.(in
the family of the Creator, in His Kingdom).in
the first place.
It is also important to improve
in areas that one feels strongly about in order to be led toward new horizons
in life and to
qualify for a reward.
Works are necessary
for a great reward. The Creator calls works some believe necessary for
being saved, filthy rags:.2Timothy
1:9.
Why it is we do things comes
from what is in one's heart from which thinking arises. Our 'working out
our own salvation'.(Philippians
2:12).has
to do with what we do in our minds with our time. Do we really believe
that we are now made righteous? Do we know what 'works' please God?
If one thinks that good works
are necessary to get into or remain in a stead
of salvation or a stead of being pleasing to God, he is out of faith righteousness:.2Peter
1:4. One can't get into the Kingdom of the Creator, also called the
kingdom of heaven, which is inside us, without the free gifts the Creator
has available for us to accept. One is the righteousness necessary:.Romans
5:17 "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one, much more they
which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Emmanuel the Christ.".Doesn't
say one reigns in life by the works he feels should get and keep him in
good stead with
the Creator.
Good works are necessary
to get a reward, a position in Creator's government,
but salvation
is a gift to us from Him and one's works do not keep him in a state of
having been saved, nor do one's degree
or lack of works take him out of a saved state, but good works are
important for this reason.
Faith righteousness is the
appreciation of the gift of righteousness
Christ made possible simply be accepting this free gift as you would.(with
appreciation and realization that the gift is indeed real).any
gift that someone may give you.
Otherwise, one may then be
thinking about what he is doing, what he can do, may do or should do, apart
from what Christ has already
done, finished and all completed:.John
17:4.
His passion was to finish
the work:.John
4:34 "Emmanuel said unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that
sent me and to finish his work.".And
through those of high consciousness of the Father, the work of salvation
is getting done by healings, resurrections and remarkable creations, protections,
and those things which provide the joy of life for people.
One would then not be understanding
that in Him.(believing
in Him {that He is real and that He
did what history says He did}).he
is
complete, at least as far as the Creator is
concerned:.Colossians
2:10.
On the other hand, if one
does good works
out of love and concern for others, because he cares for them out of compassion,
then that is works of high consciousess, the high consciousness of love:.Matthew
5:16; Ephesians 2:10; 1Timothy
6:18 "...be rich in good works..." People
of goodwill believe in being kind and gentle and show it:.Matthew
7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.".1Peter
3:8..That's
how you can tell if a person has a good heart.
Realize that works have
nothing to do with gaining favor with the Creator.(as
he already is in God's favor:.Ephesians
1:6), but they have to do instead
with being rewarded in the Kingdom
that the Creator has prepared for us, a kingdom of within that is in
process of coming without.
So we do good works, not
to please our Creator, but because we're happy that the Creator is already
pleased with us thanks
to Christ and we want to love others,
doing our best and we know that this is our joy and everlasting reward
in His family. It is right to expect something for your effort. The Creator
knows this. The Creator rewards effort generously. He's not like low consciousness
man who seeks to control others through various forms of modern slavery.
The Creator wants you to be rewarded and wants
you to be doing good works:.Luke
12:43.
We do good works because
we want to, not because we have to in order to be saved or keep saved.
We do good works knowing
they're
counting toward something for
us. To put it another way: One doesn't try to 'get to the boss' or
get his attention by what he does, but does things because he is in favor
with the boss and happy within the company, wanting to the best that one
can be.
One's inheritance we will
say, may be to work in the dad's corporation.('corporation'
here being the gift of the Kingdom of God for those believing {accepting
Christ into their heart [the most intimate place you accept anyone you
choose]}).
Depending on what one does
here, he may eventually get a high position and rise to be in proximity
to his dad or he may remain as a stockboy or garbage.(trash).remover
or qualify for somewhere in between.
The Kingdom
of God is the same. It is the 'corporation'. Your inheritance there
is secure. You will have a position there because you are a member of the
family. The things that now qualify you to move to a high position there
are the things of character
development involving actions of love.
Salvation is the opportunity
for the reward. Salvation is the 'opportunity' within the 'corporation'.
One can then be rewarded for works within the 'corporation' and his works
improves his character and improves
his faith.
If Christ's nature
of love is in you, you are in the Kingdom of God awaiting the time
when it will be set up on Earth and in the meantime, are doing all you
can to work the works that come under the overall framework of the spiritual
principle of love.(guidelines
for 'advancement' the 'corporation' uses to measure one's performance).
Righteousness produces a
high standard of conduct in you and one from your heart. If you work for
a boss whom you do not like, you have to please him or you could be gone
from the job. How much better to work there because you want to from your
heart, rather than having to, in order to please him and get a paycheque.
Now your boss might like
you a lot and wishes that you would be more open with him so he can get
to know you better, and perhaps give you more help. But you however, are
a bit stubborn, and may have chosen to relate to him only through your
work's performance, thinking that is all he is interested in.
Depending on whether or not
you trust your boss's thinking, you then would either believe you are or
aren't capable of what the boss says when he says you possess the ability
to 'go for the gold'.
Righteousness
produces a standard of conduct. It is not itself a standard of conduct,
although many religious people believe that it is.
Righteousness is what God
has provided to you as a gift because Emmanuel made the gift possible.
So now God the Father sees you in this 'new set of clothes'.
You have seen this bum every
day for months. Same type of clothes and colors. Then one day he wins a
lottery. The next time you see him, he is dressed up in expensive clothes,
shoes, etc. From then on, you see him as happy, prosperous and vibrant.
Let's hope the former bum, continues to see himself that way too. God now
sees you dressed in righteousness. The new clothes can produce a
new thinking and thus a new standard of conduct, unless of course one still
thinks as an old bum.
