We are given Life by becoming Born of The SPIRIT ...and then our spirit reaches for The Tree of LIFE.
Is JESUS Speaking Heart Intentions with His Words? That sounds right to me. They are Life because They are The Way to The Tree of LIFE.
“And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.”
~I Thessalonians 3:12-13
//Establish our intentions blameless.
Is entering The Kingdom, Sabbath Rest? It is rest for your spirit (intentions) ...It is rest from sin slavery/death/worldliness.
Heb 3:17-19
Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
||| You can't be sinning and believe at the same time ...and enter His Rest.
Heb 4:3
For we who have believed do enter that rest,...
||| We have to OBEY:
Heb 4:6
Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,
“Is JESUS Speaking Heart Intentions with His Words? That sounds right to me. They are Life because They are The Way to The Tree of LIFE.”
this is what mans heart is like since the fall and this is why we sin at all
“For
from within, out of the heart of men, proceed
evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,
blasphemy,
pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
Mark 7:21-23
Jesus is speaking into us a new heart so we can be free from the motivations in our heart that is the reason we ever commit any sin at all.
if we do this it do wierd the strongholds in our heart that make us captive and is the reason we think we can’t be free from sins dominion over our lives
“(for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the
pulling down of strong holds
casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 KJV
As we hear the gospel and begin to retain and believe he is speak g righteousness into our heart and removing the roots of sin like lustful ideas which lead to adultery , hate d fridge bearing which causes us to sin against those we hold grudges and hate for , he speaks the evil oir of our hearts and then the actions change
.it’s an operation of faith because man operates outwardly by what’s inside of us what we allow to swell
In our hearts and minds leads us to actions whether right or wrong.
“And he said, So is
the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; and should sleep, and rise night and day, and
the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
For
the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself;
first the blade,
then the ear,
after that the full corn in the ear.
But
when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.”
Mark 4:26-29 KJV
man operates by what’s inside us whether the gospel which creates pure hearts leading to right living just because we accept and believe or then there’s this
“but every man is tempted, when
he is drawn away of his own lust, and
enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and
sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
James 1:14-15 KJV
everything is inward but to be healed inwardly and have our heart made right the actions are just like a fruit growing from a tree of the tree is a good tree it will bear good fruit and if the tree is diseased and corrupt the fruit will be
the fruit is our deeds but the reason we do everything we do is inside based on what our faith desires and clings to
to believe the gospel operates in us like this
“Now the parable ( luke 8:4-9) is this:
The seed is the word of God.
Those by the way side are
they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
They on the rock are
they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
And that which fell among thorns are
they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
But
that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.”
Luke 8:11-15
if we let Gods word the gospel into our belief and don’t let anyone take it away or let the worlds lust and temptations choke it out , it’s going to change us by faith including outward actions and we will start bearing ten fruits of the spirit and won’t be struggling with sin anymore all thanks to the gospel and believing
in e end we can’t say we are the reason but all glory will always be his for changing wicked hearts and minds to pure ones producing a bear Ed of righteousness gifted to believers
