1Ti 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Promise from the Greek;
G1860 ἐπαγγελία From G1861; an announcement (for information, assent or pledge; especially a divine assurance of good).
The promise of life and divine assurance of good.
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
You knew of this promise from within your spiritual self, prior to your worlds eternal bodies.
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
2Ti 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Slack, slackness in the Greek;
G1022 βραδύτης From G1021; tardiness: – slackness. G1021 βραδύς Of uncertain affinity; slow; figuratively dull: – slow.
Longsuffering in the Greek;
G3114 μακροθυμέω From the same as G3116; to be long spirited, that is, (objectively) forbearing or (subjectively) patient: – bear (suffer) long, be longsuffering, have (long) patience, be patient, patiently endure.
The slackness of man being “slow”, and God does not count slackness because of his longsuffering toward souls so that not any will perish.
1John 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
(See Also; Rom 2:7, 5:17, 5:21, John 14-17, 3:36, 4:14, 5:24, 5:39-40, 6:27, 6:32-33, 6:40, 6:68, 10:28, 17:2, 1Peter 1:3-4, 1John 5:11-12)
The promise, inheritance, grace, mercy, all being the love of God, is eternal. What is not eternal is a soul wanting to live life in his own deaths. A freewill choice. Or quite possibly according to Hebrews 9:15 stated above, “they which are called”. All at some point in eternity, all will be called. Eternal death is not in the Bible. Death can only be referenced from a soul within a body that chooses death in experiences throughout eternal lives.
Vanity is found in 79 verses in the Bible. 3 of which are in the New Testament.
Rom 8:19-21 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
(See Also Eph 4:17, 2Peter 2:18)
Vanity in the Greek is; G3153 ματαιότης From G3152; inutility; figuratively transientness; morally depravity. G3152 μάταιος From the base of G3155; empty, that is, (literally) profitless, or (specifically) an idol.
Vanity is inutility, being useless or unusable. Transient, being morally deprived, empty.
Ecc 1:1-4 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Ecc 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Solomon states that all is vanity. Paul states we were made subject to vanity, but also to be delivered from corruption. Vexation of the spirit is a feeding upon or grasping after. A spirit with affliction, a troubling spirit. Experiences are what make up life. Lifeliving to choose either goodnesses or evils until we have overcome repetitive evils and understand how true life is, which is a life of total love.
Psalms 94:11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
The only way vanity can be understood is because “the creature itself also shall be delivered”, so all would have to be vanity.
What have you gained from the world through your life experiences that you can attribute to growth in your relationship with God, or better said, through your learning to live a life by way of the two greatest commandments? (See Mat 22:36-40)
When a soul understands the difference between the flesh heart-mind, which is “under the sun”, and the spirit-soul that is from above the sun, the following verses make total sense.
The duality of humankind to live life enjoying flesh experiences, and to live by the laws of God which in its simplicity is life, which is love, and by living by that premise.
Ecc 1:9-10 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
Ecc 1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
Ecc 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 2:17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 2:22-23 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun? For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
Ecc 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
Vexation in the Hebrew; H7469 רְעוּת Probably from H7462; a feeding upon, that is, grasping after. H7462 רָעָה A primitive root; to tend a flock, that is, pasture it; intransitively to graze (literally or figuratively); generally to rule; by extension to associate with (as a friend).
Vexation meaning to grasp after the tangible things of the flesh, as well includes the inflated ego which are things of the heart-mind. A hindrance to the soul that strives to live by it’s created spirit and not the formed flesh-heart-mind.
Truth, true life, can only come to you through Jesus.
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
(See Also; John 5:19, John 9:33, Php 4:13)
All souls have only the “want”, to serve God, through Christ, which is life.
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (See Also; Rom 16:25-26, 1Co 2:7, Eph 3:3-10)
The mystery of death;
Death is a manifestation from the flesh-self-mind.
Death is in the mind-self, which is not living life in goodness-love. A freewill choice. (Not the “inner” perfectly created-soul. Eph 3:16)
Physical death of the body is meaningless. Life progresses on from the spirit-soul, life to life, unto eternity. Always in freewill, choosing how much heaven-hell is within.
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (See Also; John 14:20)
Christ be with you always. Death is only in the mind. Belief that a soul is in danger, is not having the understanding of the mystery.
2Co 4:10-11 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
With Jesus now being within the flesh-mind, the flesh-body can make manifest, living life as Jesus lived and taught humankind. To be Christ-like. Faith is a moral conviction, reliance upon Christ, living in truth, life, not death.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
But wait, in Him is NO darkness?
1John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
John 12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Where is the verse that says: “Do as I say, not as I do”?
But wait, God is love, and we live through Him.
1John 4:7-9 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. MJI (LightWorker)
Creating a spirit-soul separation (which is in your mind), from God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit allows the mind to take comfort in “forgiveness”, thereby allowing the soul to have comfort in living its repetitive negativities. Negativities are defensive living, that are justifying negative thoughts and actions. When a soul realizes there is no separation between the soul from God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, AND ALL of Creation; that soul lives from the offensive position living from goodness-love. Not living from the love of repetitive negative thoughts, speech, and actions. When there is understanding from the mind, by way of the perfected created spiritual soul, there are no defensive tactics (ego), because your true spirit-soul lives only from truth. It sees no other way. Allow the Lord to live through you. He is not going anywhere EVER. The flesh mind-ego fears, and can only offer a false sense of protection taking the place of our Lord, creating the separation. That is the god in you. (Gen 3:5) Creation is connected and is all one. The “One” lives through His Creation because there is only One.
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Eph 4:6)
Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? (Mal 2:10)
When the mind can understand how all manifestations of evil-negativities are an integral part of growth and the soul can count all of life goodness; and the soul creates the world it lives in and not the world creating a souls life.
Not only is the kingdom at hand, (Mat 10:7) Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke 17:21) And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (Mat 16:19)
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. (Luke 11:2) MJI (LightWorker)
Jesus is just as much a representation of love as Satan is just as much a representation of evil. Love is life, evil is death. Its that simple.
Why does humankind have such a problem with following Jesus and His teachings of love?
It is not “what will Jesus do”. It is what will you do as Jesus did and taught.
Why does humankind think that Jesus’s practices limited to Jesus only? Humankind has the same equality in what the flesh can do as Christ did through our Father God.
Humankind has no problem following the practices of Satan. Your true spiritual self (soul) is from pure love, and is pure love. The purpose of the flesh is to make decisions and experiences wanting to live in love or live in death. That is freewill.
Jesus had faith greater than a grain of a mustard seed. He is telling humankind they can do what He did through this flesh as well. His representation of how it can be done through the flesh showing humankind what they can do through the flesh.
The flesh self should tie their faith and trust in God, and their love for their neighbor as Jesus did and taught.
Mat 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
(See Also; Mat 21:21, Mark 11:23, Luke 17:6, 1Co 12:9, 1Co 13:2)
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
(See Also; Mat 19:26, Mark 9:23, 10:27, 14:36, 18:27)
If nothing is impossible, then all things are possible.
Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
That faith includes no judgement because God has total control of every tittle in all of Creation.
It’s A God Thing God created everything. Think about how God feels to know everything about all of creation for an eternity! To know every experience from everything.
From a flesh perspective, that sounds OK, but wouldn’t that be boring? Wouldn’t knowing all have drawbacks? No “thrill of the hunt” mindset. To give meaning from knowledge by way of experiences from that knowledge? The excitement, satisfaction, and passion for life’s purposes. Knowing all, and experiencing all, are not the same.
He created experiences from His knowledge of all. The created soul and God live from His-his consciousness. The created soul lives for his own experiences. Think about it. God and humankind living experiences for the experience through that creation. How would God, a God of love, and love being life, experience love? When God’s plan is implemented, the created soul by way of God’s consciousness, and the souls consciousness, fulfills His way to live every experience for eternity through that love. The created soul with individuality, God experiences through His creation. All of creation, not just souls. God is creation and His consciousness runs through every cell in creation. His design and every little detail of His creation He is experiencing through His created spiritual souls that live from their own, with their own personal experience, and for God to experience every experience through every cell of that creation. A souls new experience is God’s new experience. The negativity (humankind’s perception), is the means by which a soul has the appearance of individuality, and to make “it” one’s own. To experience and decide what path that soul wants to “live”. Souls are created in the image and likeness of God. Your “father” (flesh parents), taught you what they believed is in all truth. They didn’t string you along, and throw curve balls at you, or condemn you. Why would God?
I am he: (Deu 32:39, Isa 43:13, Isa 43:10, 43:13, 43:25, 46:4)

(God being “I am”, your Almighty God. A great king and not a man, like none else, and none like Him. Our Father.)

But after I am risen again (Mat 26:32)………..I am risen (Mark 14:28)
Everlasting – Eternal Covenant, Possession, Inheritance, Mercy, And Life
Everlasting is Eternal. Everlasting eternal life is for all souls.
John 6:68-70 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
God and Christ our Lord does not, will not change.
Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Heb 1:12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
The promise was made before the world began. The promise was made to all souls prior to the flesh earth when souls where in a spiritual body. This is because God knew you before your flesh life. Therefore, judgement if you wish to call it was “finished” at Creation. (Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. Gen 2:1)
A soul has absolute free will. Gods adjustments (judgements) were foreknown.
Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Act 15:17-18 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
Pro 8:22-23 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
His Mercy Is Everlasting
Psalms 100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
(See Also; Psalms 103:17, 106:1, 107:1, 118:1-4, Jer 33:11)
Lam 3:18-26 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD: Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
Everlasting Covenant
Heb 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
(Gen 9:16, 17:7, 17:13, 17:19, Lev 24:8, 2Sa 23:5, 2Ch 16:17, Psalms 105:10, Isa 24:5, 55:3, 61:8, Jer 32:40, Eze 16:60, 37:26)
Everlasting possession
Eze 46:16 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons’; it shall be their possession by inheritance.
(See Also; Gen 17:8, 48:8)
Everlasting Salvation
Isa 45:17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
Deu 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
Everlasting life;
Mat 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
(See Also; Luke 18:30, John 3:36, 4:14, 5:24, 6:27, 6:40, 6:47, Gal 6:8, 1Ti 1:16)
Rom 6:22-23 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Scriptures related to DEATH can only be in the flesh. Your lives are eternal, and from life to life a soul can live in death if that is the chosen path. DEATH is simply explained. If a soul is not living through love in EVERYTHING, and love is life, love is truth. Anything other then love is death.
