That's the "easy" part!
1 Peter 2
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
The hard part is that that is something one has to do for oneself! I can testify, and witness, that it does happen. I can testify and witness a deeper understanding concerning "the Word of God." Still, of all the things I can do and testify and bare witness to? I CANNOT "do it FOR you!"
One has to allow oneself for God to "put you in His smelter", so to speak. I know this "illustration", does not truly represent what really happens. Although this same "process" is described in several different ways throughout the entire Bible.
And after that? One has to allow for God to PROOF you! Where, and when one finds out, not only how deep one's roots are "in love?" But, also the rest of the "fruit of the Spirit!"
God is trying oh so hard in His refining of one to "close the breaches", so the birds aren't able to whisk it away.
Where the thorns and thistles aren't able to "choke" His Word. Where "the way" is not able in simply "walking over" His Word, unheeded, and unheard.
But, in being a good and responsible "tiller of the ground?" It requires EFFORT/S! These "thorns and thistles?" Are "put there", for a "reason!" The "way"? The "birds?" Same same!
YOU have to remove 'em! MAKE the "ground" GOOD!
God gave us a "gift", promising an "everlasting" salvation by His grace through faith in not just Jesus Christ. But, becoming a "joint heir" WITH Christ, and obtaining an ETERNAL salvation! FROM He who SENT Jesus Christ!

How many will you go before you stop acting like a child and accusing in every post. and actually sit and discuss the word of God.
I told you dude, I will not giv you any serious response until you start to discuss the word with me, All the rest of your silliness will be highlighted and pointed out.

The problem is there is a big divide on how we view the commandments of Jesus Christ. If we avoided the subject of works and just talked about grace we`d be fine. Uhh probably. LOL! But conversation on grace doesn`t take place because of other disagreement.
I can go to a lot of different churches and just focus on the basics which is grace and be in perfect harmony and agreement. Many churches, many denominations I have visited and considered them brethren and enjoyed fellowship with.

1. Seek after the things of the spirit and you WILL NOT Fulfill the lust of the flesh
2. Love the lord your God with all your heart mind and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.
3. Produce the fruit of the spirit, against which there is no law.
And yes, it does take some effort. But it does and should not take alot of effort. Because God promised he would give us rest. So whose power do we rely on? The power of God, Who LOVED US, and because our ABBA father, or the law. which takes great effort. and even then you can not fulfill it as required.
Remember, God told us to sit in his work, to stand on his promises, and to walk according to his guidance by putting on the whole armor of God so you can withstand the spiritual forces who are out to destroy you (see the book of ephesians)
do you disagree with anything I have said?

@RickStudies @SimpleGardner @NayborBear and all the other lawyers here
Why have you not answered this question? Are you afraid you may have to admit i preach obedience and I know the way to true moral living, and all your lies about me hating Gods law and loving sin is in error?

This scripture from Revelation 12 describes the dragon going out to make war with God`s remnant people. According to the verse they are obeying God`s commandments/keeping Law and they have Jesus as well.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
This is near the end of this age, why are they keeping Law/Commandments of God?

Why do they keep the commands? What are they doing that other people are not?
is that descriptive or prescriptive?
and it describes the dragon who wants to war with Israel. But God is protecting her, So the dragon give up and goes after her offspring, Which are those who keep his commands, (the church)
it does not say they KEEP THE LAW.. HUGE DIFFERENCE!
