We just need clean ourselves, spread HIS WORD in love, and do all HE says till HE comes again:
IMHO it is trust and obey. Obedience is automatic. Without Faith it is impossible to obey. Grace works not us. We rest. God is the Pilot I am not the copilot I am the passenger. We are all the same. We are all poor miserable sinners in need of a Savior. We are beggars for grace.
Matthew 11:28 (NIV) Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Psalm 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Marben,
Amen! Again, that is not my perspective. My persepective is the full WORD. That phrase you took was just to make sense for that paragraph, and for many people that like to judge on this site.
For me, a person has to believe to have faith, with faith the person obeys, to obey the person reads the WORD, to read the WORD the person follows JESUS, to follow JESUS the person works towards the mark of heaven ( deeds and spreadking), to work towards the mark the person is the passenger in GOD’s plane, but HE allows a steward or stewardess to ask you what you want to eat sometimes ( LOL!! think about that one), and if you eat the right thing, the plane goes in a direction that is further in the heavens. ALLEULIA!! ( spelled that wrong I think!! LOL!!)
THe full WORD is where GOD has me. NOt a perspective. But if a person has a perspective, they may read my writing and think I have one. But, IN THE HOLY PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS!!! I dont!! GOD makes me LOVE IT ALL! Because in faith there is time for all the perspectives, but one has to know ( through prayer) when to use them!!
LOVE YOU ALL IN THE HOLY PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!! AMEN!!
