Man has a progression of 3 estates from birth to death (pertaining to salvation). The estates are;
Damnation
To be reformed, a reformation
To be regenerated, a regeneration
A man’s estate (condition of existence), is the degree and quality of his standing in relationship to his love and obedience towards God and ultimately leading to salvation at death of the flesh.
A man’s first estate of damnation
1Ti 5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
Damnation in the Greek Text; G2917 κρίμα From G2919; a decision (the function or the effect, for or against [“crime”]). G2919 κρίνω Properly to distinguish, that is, decide (mentally or judicially); by implication to try, condemn, punish.
Summarizing;
Having damnation is having the option to properly distinguish and decide a for or against position, in the mind. The first faith is faith you inherited from creation.
We can see in this next verse that resistance, or making the wrong decision receives damnation.
Romans 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
(Damnation in NT verses; Mat 23:14, Mat 23:33, Mark 3:29, Mark 12:40, Luke 20:47; John 5:29, Rom 3:8, 1Co 11:29, 2Peter 2:3) (Damned is found 3 times; Mark 16:16, Rom 14:23, 2Th 2:12)
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
The Second Estate; Being Reformed
Making the decision to avoid damnation leads to the second estate of being reformed.
Leviticus 26:23-24 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
Roadblocks to reformation can be in the a soul returning to a former state, (to not think from God but from self. Illness where one can not rationalize. Bodily illness not in a state for freedom. A state of blindness of understanding truths, or God closes their eyes.
The Greek word for reformed is; H3256 יָסַר A primitive root; to chastise, literally (with blows) or figuratively (with words); hence to instruct: – bind, chasten, chastise, correct, instruct, punish, reform, reprove, sore, teach.
The English definition of reformed is to be caused to abandon an evil manner of living and follow a good one.
Man’s Third Estate; Regeneration
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Regeneration in the Greek Text;G3824 παλιγγενεσία From G3825 and G1078; (spiritual) rebirth (the state or the act), that is, (figuratively) spiritual renovation; specifically Messianic restoration: – regeneration. G3825 πάλιν Probably from the same as G3823 (through the idea of oscillatory repetition); (adverbially) anew, that is, (of place) back, (of time) once more, or (conjugationally) furthermore or on the other hand: – again.
We can see that the regeneration process is in the same sense going from damnation to reformation previously discussed.
Going from the physical material world in their walk with God to the deeper spiritual relationship that takes “heaven” within us to that higher estate.
It begins when a man desists from evils as sins, progresses as he shuns them, and is perfected as he battles against them.
But he becomes spiritual only in the measure in which he is in truths. Everyone is regenerated by means of truths and of a life in accord with them; by truths he knows life and by his life he does the truths.
Only one God. (Mark 12:32, 1Co 8:4-6, Gal 3:20, James 2:19)
God is love. (1John 4:8) God states; No other god’s before me. (Deu5:7)
But also stating, you are as a god. (Gen 3:5)
His Creation of the “world” as mentioned 7 times in Genesis. ALL was good. (Gen 1:4, 1:12, 1:18, 1:21, 1:25, 1:31) If you give up that “god” status, you live through Him. (1John 4:9)
He is already living in and through you. (Eze 37:14)
And God never changes. (James 1:17)
All God sees is goodness living His consciousness with you, through you, and in you as a vessel which is HIS manifestation which is Creation. (Eph 4:6)
Your love and goodness is His love and goodness. (Rom 11:22)
When proper thinking-goodness, living life by it’s truths, which is love. (Eph 4:15)
The consciousness of God is God and Creation. You are fulfilling his thoughts. (Mat 5:17, Col 1:25)
Your conscience is His manifestation of his created souls which is the mystery of faith. (1Ti 3:9)
To experience that love through freedom in living your eternal life “as your own.” (Luke 16:12)
Who shall separate Us from the love of Christ? (Rom 8:35)
Separation comes from within one’s own soul, and only through the flesh. (Jude 1:19)
In the end, of which their isn’t, souls live through eternity, going back to God and we are all one. (1Co 1:17)
Your soul, seeking wisdom and knowledge are incomplete without obedience-experience. (Gen 30:27)
Obedience to the faith. (2Co 2:9)
Unless you do it, it’s just a theory. The Word was instilled into your soul at Creation. (Gen 1:27, Mark 4:15)
Life is based upon the soul living through positive and negative experiences created within the consciousness of God, and the consciousness of humankind-Creation.
Ecc 7:25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
(See Also; Ecc 1:13-17, Ecc 2:1-3, Ecc 2:12)
Reason in the Greek; H2808 חֶשְׁבּוֹן From H2803; properly contrivance; by implication intelligence: – account, device, reason. H2803 חָשַׁב A primitive root; properly to plait or interpenetrate, that is, (literally) to weave or (generally) to fabricate; figuratively to plot or contrive (usually in a malicious sense); hence (from the mental effort) to think, regard, value, compute.
Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Rom 8:20-22 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. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Reasoning in the English definition is;
The process of thinking about something in order to make a decision. Reasoning is a basic action of thinking in a sensible and rational way about something.
Examples of NOT having reasoning. Not having reasoning would also include not wanting to search and seek out wisdom. When a soul is stuck in a “place” and there is no growth, becoming complacient is living in death.
Reason #1: I have but one life to get this right. Not to mention those poor souls that have not had it as good as me. What did they do wrong? The aborted baby…..why can’t it be me. The thinking is the baby is in heaven? I don’t see “fairness” in that thinking. Simple reasoning.
Reason #2: Next, It’s all on me, but the truth according to scriptures is the ONLY thing I can do is have the willingness to want to learn how to live life with the goal of living a heavenly life through love. Humankind does not understand that ALL is through God, our Lord, and the Holy Spirit. His way, His time, His adjustments to a souls life.
Reason #3: Not understanding “representations” and how they apply to my soul. Satan being a representation of evil. How can I think that after this current awareness of this life that someone or something else is responsible for my own personal evils? Standing in front of Christ on judgement day and saying, oh Lord, how can I be responsible for the evils Satan has infused into my world?
Reason #4: I see what I see and judge accordingly and not understanding that every soul is in their own place, in their own eternity, and God will not destroy or condemn even one soul.
Reason #5: Having the mindset that “heaven” has to be done in this current awareness is also vanity. An eternal soul grows by way of experiences to overcome shortcomings, evils, errors, and mistakes which we ultimately learn from. Therefore, condemnation from God makes no sense as the negative part of the Plan is actually positive if there is a progression in living a life from a love aspect.
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Kingdom in the Greek Text;
G932 βασιλεία From G935; properly royalty, that is, (abstractly) rule, or (concretely) a realm (literally or figuratively). G935 βασιλεύς Probably from G939 (through the notion of a foundation of power); a sovereign (abstractly, relatively or figuratively).
Heaven in the Greek Text;
G3772 οὐρανός Perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by extension heaven (as the abode of God); by implication happiness, power, eternity; specifically the Gospel (Christianity).
Luke 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
If a soul has received the kingdom, is the soul not “in heaven” in relationship to the souls degree of evil verses love-faith?
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The nobleman in Luke 19:12, receiving the kingdom, the kingdom being God, (royalty), ruling the “realm”, (heaven). Heaven specifically is the Gospel. The Gospel, or Word being God Himself. So where is heaven, or to what degree of heaven is within?
Mat 16:19 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.
Location…..Location…….Location!
Deu 30:11-14 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Mat 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Some standing here, (on this earth), shall not taste death until the see the Son of man, (Jesus) coming into his, (the some standing here), kingdom.
Death can only be in the flesh.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Rom 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
Mat 16:19 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.
The keys to the kingdom of heaven are bound or loose on earth. Therefore, heaven on earth is within the soul. To take it further, manifested by way of your 6 senses. 6th being your power of the perception of your mind. (Coming from your inner-higher self).
Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
If you follow Jesus, your treasure in heaven is your heaven within. How much heaven do you want? Your perception, understanding, and truths within your soul make that determination. How you understand the concept of goodness-negativity, love for your neighbor, and progression of life’s experiences that bring more of heaven than hell within. “Follow” in the Greek is to accompany, properly, to be in the same way with.
Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
From this verse it is shown that the Word of God shall not pass away, but heaven and earth being IN THE SOUL can pass away.
Eph 4:8-10 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Hell in the Greek;
G1067 γέεννα Of Hebrew origin ([H1516] and [H2011]); valley of (the son of) Hinnom; gehenna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: – hell.
The reference to hell in Mat 10:28 is a physical place as well as a state of mind.
Mark 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
From these two verses, everlasting punishment is a “state of being”. Hard to believe that a missing eye and hand is anything physical. It can only be from the soul.
Act 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Act 2:25-27 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
Psa 86:13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
How can the soul be delivered from the lowest hell, to obtain mercy, if hell is not within?
Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Ask yourself, who is the “him”?
Mark 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Jesus is the way of life, and life itself. Jesus is a process of life, whereby His teachings were by example. Whereby His teachings, should be learning and practices. Teachings whereby the acquisition of that knowledge, is implemented through thoughts-experiences.
Lip service, praise, and the like, the adjectives of religion, have no substance. A lamp without oil, a candle without a flame.
The complete Word, Bible, teaching, are summed up by these scriptures.
Mat 22:36-40 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Love is life, Jesus, and God His self. Because love is life, and is the “way.” That love begins with every thought from the mind…..period. Every thought-action, performed-fulfilled by the flesh, is the way…..period. It is not a religion of one or two, but a religion of all. A reverence for the Oneness of Creation, because Creation is of One, from One, and only One. Humankind is of that One.
There is no duality in His way of life. No yin and yang, good and evil, plus or minus, light or dark, unity or division. To go as far as saying, right or wrong, because duality is of the world, and not of God. It’s all in understanding how to comprehend and implement Jesus as that way of life. Any thought process outside of love, is a lack of understanding the process of how life actually works. The degree of, and/or, the lack of faith, and trust for that process. The work of the soul is an understanding of that process by living in peace, the joy of life in the love of everything. Anything less than that, is a work in progress, which is the working of a soul, through one’s own personal eternity, with one’s own personal relationship with our Lord that is eternal for all.
Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
(See Also; Rom 2:29, Rom 7:22, 2Co 4:16, 1Peter 3:4)
Inner man, creation of the spirit-soul:
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Perfectly created spirit-soul.
The Word is life:
John 6:33-35 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Rom 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. One with, and in God.Outer Man:
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The formed flesh body-mind-ego. One with one’s self.
Luke 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Pro 29:11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
Which “self” is in control?
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:11-13 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
When the spirit-soul lives from the spirit, and not the flesh-world, no separation or distance is present.
Eph 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Rev 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Pro 19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
See Also; (Proverbs 19:24, 6:9-10, 20:13, 23:21, 24:33, Isa 56:10, Rom 13:11-12, Eph 5:14)
Idle in the Hebrew: H7423 רְמִיָּה From H7411; remissness, treachery: – deceit. H7411 רָמָה A primitive root; to hurl; specifically to shoot; figuratively to delude or betray (as if causing to fall).
(Remissness is the quality of being lax and neglectful. Treachery is a betrayal of trust; deceptive action or nature.)
Ecc 10:18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
Proverbs 19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Idleness in the Hebrew; H8220 שִׁפְלוּת From H8213; remissness: – idleness. H8213 שָׁפֵל A primitive root; to depress or sink (especially figuratively to humiliate, intransitively or transitively): – abase.
Slothfulness in the Greek; H6103 עַצְלָה Feminine of H6102; (as abstraction) indolence: – slothfulness. (Indolence is an inclination to laziness: sloth.)
If your not hungry for the truth and not searching, your simply hurting yourself but God as well as your soul has an eternity to figure out how to eliminate evils from one’s life.
If your not moving forward in all aspects of your life, life that revolves around love, your actually regressing and supressing your own growth which is ultimately living with your evils and living your hells and not your heaven.
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2Tim 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,
Vanity
Ecc 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
All is vanity as we can see in these verses;
Ecc 1:14 – Works under the sun; all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 2:1 – Pleasure is vanity.
Ecc 2:11 – Works and labour, vexation of spirit, all was vanity.
Ecc 2:15 & Ecc 2:19 – Wisdom is vanity.
Ecc 2:26 – God giveth to man that is good in his sight wisdom, knowledge, joy, but the sinner, travail. To gather up and to heap up to give before God. All vanity and vexation of the spirit.
(Vexation in the Hebrew; meaning a sense of desire or feeding upon, grasping after.)
Ecc 3:19 – All have ONE BREATH so man has NO preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecc 4:4 – No end of all his labour, eye satisfied with riches, also vanity and is a sore travail.
Ecc 5:10 – The love for silver, vanity.
Ecc 6:2 – Riches, wealth, honour, wanting nothing for his soul but yet a stranger eateth, this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Ecc 6:9 – Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire.
Ecc 7:15 – All things vanity: a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and the wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
Ecc 9:9 – Live joyfully with the wife, lovest all the days of life, vanity.
Ecc 11:8 – A man living many years, rejoice in them all; remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
Ecc 11:10 – Remove sorrow from thy heart, put away evil from thy flesh: childhood and youth are vanity.
Works, pleasure, labour, wisdom, knowledge, joy, riches, desires, righteousness, wickedness, days of darkness, sorrows. All vanity. Everything is vanity.
Why?
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
1Co 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
Our Lord himself said he can do nothing from his own self and judged himself according to will of the Father. If his Father had to raise him up, and we are talking about Jesus Christ here, how can it be where any individual soul is responsible for a judgement against evils and only God can raise you up!
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Everyone will be chosen at their appointed time in their eternal life. Vanity now makes sense. This is the mystery spoken of in Romans 11:25.
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
The mystery? “Until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” (See Romans 2:12-29)
Rom 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Again, it is God that is able to make him stand, not himself. And if God is the only one to make him stand, then why would God destroy a soul or commit a soul to some hell? We create and judge our own evils.
The only thing humankind can do is have the willingness and drive to shun evils and follow the path of righteousness which is truths and obedience to goodness and love for every aspect of life regardless of what your eyes see and your mind thinks.
If you see and think from your spirit, understanding unfolds right in front of you. The “trick” is to have the awareness of knowing who is in charge of your soul. Your flesh brain-mind, or your spirit-soul?
Psa 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Thinking about the Bible, it’s principals, and teachings. It is easy to see it for it’s simplicity because life in the flesh has it’s limitations that are based upon what is seen and manifested by senses. The simplicity is simply love, but since it is extenuated by way of limitless experiences, that simplicity becomes inflated, creating confusion and misunderstanding. Virtually nothing from what is unseen, from the spiritual world, from the flesh perspective, has been given much thought of, or credibility because it’s unseen.
If you can not see it, feel it, smell it, taste it, the flesh mind thinks it does not exist.
The countless worlds and universes within His Creation have a basis of life, which is the Word; in whatever form it is presented within a souls understanding in that particular life. An understanding for the spirit-soul to bring life alive from within, and implement, or bring to life as experiences in whatever body the soul is encased in the progression of experiences in a souls eternity. All life stems from His perfection unto all His spiritual souls that are created with those principles that are established by God because they are God himself, as He lives though His Creation. For God to experience the love that is experienced by the individual soul for his experience. Got it? Life begins with thought. The individual consciousness within that soul, which is the consciousness of God, where each and every thought has the possibility of becoming what we understand as reality as our own as an individual. The thought only becoming reality by the senses. The thought may be reality for one, but does not exist for another, or is seen differently from another. Exactly why judgement is futile, and a soul through experiences virtually judge themselves because the inner self, your true self, can not be distorted, changed, or manipulated, and at some point, the truth is brought forward, understood, and experienced by the individual, as an individual. True reality stops prior to the a conscious thought becoming manifested or expressed through the senses. This is why the Word states that a soul should live from his inner self, and not the outer self.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Every word of God is pure;
Pro 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Love;
1John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Holy;
1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Light;
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.
Spirit is good;
Psalms 143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Everlasting life;
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Eternal Life;
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
His work is perfect;
Deu 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Way is perfect;
Psa 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
2Sa 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
Perfect in knowledge, mighty in strength and wisdom;
Job 36:4-5 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
Righteous in all His works;
Dan 9:14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
Gracious, and merciful;
2Ch 30:9 For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
Joel 2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Psa 116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
Psa 14:5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
God of salvation;
Psa 68:20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
God is a sun and shield;
Psa 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Resurrection and life;
John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Cannot be tempteth, neither tempteth any man;
Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
God loves us;
1John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Man is in the image and likeness of God;
Gen 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Col 1:15-17 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Every Creature of God Is Good;
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1John 5:11-12 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Spirit of God and Christ dwell in you;
Rom 8:9-11 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
God is in thee;
2Ti 1:6-7 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Filled with the Holy Spirit;
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
(Also see; Acts 1:5, Acts 4:8, Acts 4:31, Acts 6:3, Acts 6:5, Acts 6:8, Acts 7:55, Acts 9:17, Acts 11:24, Acts 13:9, Acts 13:52, Luke 1:15, Luke 1:41, Luke 1:67, John 20:22, Eph 5:18)
God Sends His Son;
1Jn 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.
1John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
God, Christ, Holy Spirit Dwells In Us;
Rom 8:9-11 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
John 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 15:4-7 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 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. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Rom 8:9-11 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
1John 2:24-25 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
2John 1:2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
1Jn 4:12-19 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.
1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
We are the temple of God;
1Co 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1Co 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Rom 14:7-9 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
The Kingdom;
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mar 4:11-12 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Man renewed after the image of God;
Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
The spirit of the Lord strives with man while he is in the flesh but is always within his spirit. This is so because man cannot live without the spirit being present within him.
God states his love never changes. With that being truth, and since the Godhead is within us and us within God, and God never changes, then is it within man that he creates the separation. It is man that creates the sin or evil.
Summerizing God is;
The Word, the word being pure. God is love, holy, and light. God’s spirit is good, with everlasting and eternal life. His work is perfect, His way is perfect, and perfect in knowledge, strength, and wisdom. He is righteous in all His work, gracious and merciful, and our God of salvation. God is our salvation, our sun and shield, our resurrection and life.
God cannot be tempted, nor does He tempt any man. God loves us, and we are made in His image and likeness. EVERY creature of God is good, because the spirit of God and Christ dwells within you. God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit dwells within you as we are the temple and kingdom of God on this earth.
Your purpose on this earth is to experience life with the freewill of your spirit. To experience and understand the Word that was created within you, and decide how you wish to live your lives. Finding the truth from within your very soul is wisdom and knowledge and not of this world.
The consciousness of God flows through you. Likewise, a souls consciousness flows through God. Because there is one God, there is one consciousness. God has established Creation with humankind believing his life is from his own.
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
(See Also John 5:19, John 8:28, John 8:42)
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Our Lord Jesus stated from his own self, he can do nothing, than these verses have to be understood that “willingness”, stands alone for the soul’s progression of goodness and love.
Acknowledging negativity create a souls distance from God. A soul believing in separation or distance from God allows that soul to be at peace and justify the distances they love.
Psalms 108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
