Re: The will of God, John 6:40
it is essential to walk out the scriptures, starting with the easy stuff. problem is, nobody wants to do them and everybody has an excuse. it means giving up this world, that is made clear. a person might as well sell all they have and give it to the poor, cause then you can do the things god says to do, not before. no one says you have to stay that way, but if you aint done it, you aint done it, no matter what the teaching is. no change will be made, no understanding given unless you keep his commandments. and no amount of intellectual understanding will substitute. it cant be faked. and if something in your life is preventing you from doing certain of those things, get rid of it, even it its a body part. the choice is easy - die now and live forever or live now and die forever.
if yo were commissioned by god right now to judge yourself righteously, what would it be? for me, i would sentence myself to death. i would have to in order to be righteous. well, that situation has to change, and the only way is a new you and me. jesus is the key.
