Galatians 6:15
[15]For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Proud, vain, and carnal hearts are content with just so much religion as will help to keep up a fair show. But the apostle professes his own faith, hope, and joy; and that his principal glory was in the cross of Christ. By which is here meant, his sufferings and death on the cross, the doctrine of salvation by a crucified Redeemer. By Christ, or by the cross of Christ, the world is crucified to the believer, and he to the world. The more we consider the sufferings of the Redeemer from the world, the less likely shall we be to love the world.
And as to those who have truly believed in Christ Jesus, all things are counted as utterly worthless compared with him. There is a new creation; old things are passed away, and new views and dispositions are brought in under the regenerating influences of God the Holy Spirit. Believers are brought into a new world, and being created in Christ Jesus unto good works, are formed to a life of holiness. It is a change of mind and heart, whereby we are enabled to believe in the Lord Jesus, and to live to God; and where this inward, practical religion is wanting, outward professions, or names, will never stand in any stead.
The gospel changes the higher as well as the lower powers of the soul, and supports the rule of right reason and conscience, over appetite and passion. There is now no difference from country, or conditions and circumstances of life. It is the duty of every one to be holy, because Christ is a Christian’s All, his only Lord and Saviour, and all his hope and happiness.
Here it is signified that it is Christ the Savior, who supplies all the necessities of those who trust in him and gives them all blessings in the richest abundance. And by being partakers of Christ himself, we come to be filled with the fulness of grace and glory in him. How then do those forget themselves who seek righteousness out of him! This teaches us to come to Christ. And did we know what we are called to and what we might find in him? Surely we should come and be suitors to him. When feeling our weakness and the power of our enemies, we most perceive the greatness of that mighty power that affects the conversion of the believer and is engaged to perfect his salvation. Surely, this will constrain us by love to live to our Redeemer’s glory.
As we must not be proud of our talents, so we must take heed lest, under a pretense of humility and self-denial, we are slothful in laying out ourselves for the good of others.
We must not say, I am nothing, therefore I will sit still, and do nothing; but, I am nothing in myself, and therefore I will lay out myself to the utmost, in the strength of the grace of Christ. Whatever our gifts or situations may be, let us try to employ ourselves humbly, diligently, cheerfully, and in simplicity; not seeking our own credit or profit, but the good of many, for this world and that which is to come.
Put little store in man’s wisdom as the latest research shows that to fully grasp the shaping and molding Our Father in heaven is doing is best understood by our searching His words on a personal level and interpreted as such. 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Personally I have come to believe that in this approach I am able to ascertain what role Yeshua plays in leading me to our Father in heaven as the individual Yahewa has shaped and molded me to become in His eyes. 1 Corinthians 2:14 NKJV
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Acts 10:34 KJV
Then Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Having gifted me with His Son, I now questioned, “Have I submitted myself as a servant and child to learn obedience filled with humility?” Did I submit to gain entrance to heaven or submit to serve God and His Son Yeshua, I believe this has a great influence on our approach as we develop our personal relationship with God and His Son through the teachings of the Holy Ghost. Something to ponder is it an escape unto heaven Matthew 21:19 KJV
And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
or submitted service? Matthew 21:21-22 KJV
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. [22] And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa.
