See that NONE GIVES evil for evil to anyone, but ALWAYS PERSUE the good, both towards one another and towards ALL.
[Galatians 6:10]
(1Thes 5:16)

In everything GIVE THANKS, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.
(1Thes 5:19)

(1Thes 5:24)
FAITHFUL is He Who called you, Who also will do it. [2Corinthians 4:7]
***
(1Corinthains 4:2) And the rest, it is sought among stewards that
one be found “FAITHFUL”.
***
(2Peter 1:1-to-13) Simon
Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those
who have obtained LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH
with us through the
righteousness of our God and our Savior Jesus Christ,
(2Pet 1:2) GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you
through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, [Isaiah 32:17]
(2Pet 1:3) according
as His Divine Power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him Who has called us to GLORY and VIRTUE,
(2Pet 1:4) through
which He has GIVEN to us Exceedingly
Great and Precious PROMISSES, so that by these you might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED the corruption that is in the world through lust. [Romans
8:9]
(2Pet 1:5) But
also in this very thing, bringing in ALL
DILIGENCE, filling out your FAITH
with VIRTUE, and with Virtue, KNOWLDGE;
(2Pet 1:6)
and with Knowledge SELF-CONTROL, and with Self-control, PATIENCE, and with Patience, GODLINESS,
(2Pet 1:7)
and with Godliness, BROTHERLY KINDNESS, and with Brotherly Kindness, LOVE.
(2Pet 1:8) For IF: these things are in you and ABOUND,
they make you to be Neither
Idle nor Unfruitful in the Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(2Pet 1:9) For
he in whom these things are NOT
PRESENT IS BLIND and CANNOT see afar
off and has FORGOTTEN that he was
PURGED from his Sins in the past.
(2Pet 1:10) Therefore,
brothers, rather BE DILIGENT to make
your CALLING and ELECTION sure, for IF: you do these
things, you shall NEVER Fall.
(2Pet 1:11) For
so an Entrance shall be Ministered to you Abundantly into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
(2Pet 1:12) Therefore I will NOT NEGLECT to put you ALWAYS IN REMEMBERENCE of these things,
though you know them and are ESTABLIDHED in the present Truth. [John 17:17]
(2Pet 1:13)
But I think it right, as long
as I am in this tabernacle [body], TO
STIR YOU UP -> BY A REMINDER,
***
(Proverbs 4:7) Wisdom is the main thing; get Wisdom; and
with all your getting get Understanding.
*** (James 3:12) Can the fig
tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? Either a vine, figs? So can NO fountain both yield salt water
and fresh.
May I simply Ask You…? Do You have these… “Christian Character
TRAITS”… in your life? IF: You do Not… THEN: You will surely to be… “Led Astray”
by: False Teachers…! This list is ‘NOT Complete’… but ‘Only’ a few of the
Scriptures: to whet your appetite: for more “Spiritual Food!” “MOST” who call
themselves Christians [?]… Do NOT: “Read & Study & Obey” their Bibles. “MOST”
cannot “Defend” what they ‘Believe’ with… “Bible Doctrine: Chapters & Verses”…!
They will readily tell You: what their ‘Church or Denomination’… “Believes
& Teaches!” When presented with: “Contradictory Bible TRUTH”… they will
start with ‘Name Calling!’ Recently one told me… “Get thee behind me Satan!” I simply
presented more Bible Truth…! May I ask… “How
does One: “Overcome –> The World: The Flesh & Satan”…? My Bible tells me…
“Jesus Paid It ALL”…! And that I am to… “DIE To Myself”… and become… “Alive To
Christ!”
“Is
Christian ‘Obedience’… Optional? – 101”…Blog.
***
(1Corinthains 15:31) I protest
by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
(Isaiah 32:17) And the work of righteousness
shall be Peace; and the service of righteousness shall be Quietness and Hope
forever.
*** (Romans
12:1-to-4) I therefore urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercies, to offer
your bodies as living sacrifices
that are holy and pleasing to God, for
this is the reasonable way for you to worship.
(Rom 12:2) “Do Not” be
conformed to this world; but continually
be transformed by the Renewing of your minds so that you may be able to
determine what God's will is -> what
is proper, pleasing, and perfect. [2Corinthains
10:3-to-6]
(Rom 12:3) For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you ‘Not’
to think of yourself more highly than you should think; rather to think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of Faith that God has Assigned:
each of you.
(Rom 12:4) For we have many parts in one body; but these parts do ‘Not’ all have the same function
[office].
“Reasonable
Service – 101” …Blog.
Surely You know about… walking in the Spirit [Romans 8] and
the “Fruit of the Spirit” and the “Works of the Flesh”: from Galatians 5…? The problem with such “Bible Lists”… is that
we become “Crippled”: to any further ‘Scriptural Discussions!’ It has become an
“Academic Pursuit” to know Bible Verses rather than to THE… “Complete Letter
& Spirit”… of His Holy Word. Before You read this Bible Blog: what did You
know about… “Christian Character”…? Before you read Galatians 5… what did You
know about the… “Fruit of the Holy Spirit”…? Did You know, there are “MORE”…?
Could ONE call… “2Peter 1:1-to-13”… the Fruit of
the Spirit… “ALSO?” To that, I would have to answer… “YES”… because of: “Romans 7:18-to-25”…!
*** (Ephesians 5:9) For the Fruit of the [Holy]
Spirit consists of every form of Goodness, Righteousness, and “TRUTH”. [Psalms
119:97-to-104]
“The
Fruit of the Holy Spirit – 101”…Blog. [1/7]
...
*** (2Corinthians 4:7) But we have this Treasure [Romans 8:9] in
earthen [our human bodies] vessels; that the excellency of the [His Holy Spirit] Power; may be of God; and –> ‘NOT’ of us.
Is there now or has there ‘Ever’ been any
“Good in You”…? Please
answer, “Yes or NO”…? What does the above Bible verse say…? In our Flesh, we
always want some type of… “Human Validation!” We are taught this by our
society! Mankind is always putting forth “Heroes”… so that MAN can get the “Accolades”
and… “Not GOD!” Seldom is… ‘Serving Others… spoken about by the World. Why else
do people hate the Bible…? The Bible always shows the “Frailty & Sinfulness”
of Human Nature. Those ‘Bible Heroes’ and their relationship with God: IS What ‘REALLY’
made them “Who: they Really Were!” Simply
PUT: “Forgiven”…!
*** (Luke 6:26) Woe to You -> when “ALL” men shall speak well of You! For so their fathers did to
the False Prophets.
***
(Romans 2:14) For when
the nations [Gentiles], who do not have the Law, do by nature the things of the
Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves;
(Rom 2:15) who
show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing
witness, and the thoughts between one
another ‘Accusing’ or even ‘Excusing’ one another,
*** (Jeremiah
45:5) And do you seek great things for yourself? Do Not seek them;
for behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says the LORD Jehovah. But I will
give your life to you as a prize, in all places where you go.
*** (Luke
18:18-19) Then an official asked Jesus,
“Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
(Luke 18:19) Jesus said to him,
Why do you call Me good? Nobody is good except for “One” –> “God”. [Genesis 18:25]
“None
good but ‘One’ [God] -101” …Blog.
…
Someone asked me about these “Bible Blogs”…? I do Not write them to show my Bible ‘Knowledge
& Understanding’: because all of that Ultimately comes from His Indwelling
Holy Spirit. The Title: “Handling the Truth”… is simply a way to express the
varied “Applications” of His Holy Word… for only some Spiritual things that
pertain to: “Our Walk with HIM… in His Holy Word!” The REST: You will have to
find out for Yourself: As You “Read & Study & Obey”: His Holy Word…!
*** (James 1:22) Keep on being Doers of the Word; and “NOT”
merely hearers who “Deceive” themselves.
***
(Exodus 20:19-20) And they
said to Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear. But let NOT God speak with
us, lest we die.
(Exo 20:20) And Moses said to the people, Do not fear, for God has
come to TEST you, and so that His fear may be before your faces, so that you
may NOT Sin.
*** (Hebrews 10:12-to-18) But this
Man [Christ], = after He had offered = one sacrifice for [all] sins = forever, =
sat down on the right of God,
(Heb 10:13) from
then on = expecting until = His enemies are made His footstool.
(Heb 10:14) For
by ‘one’ offering = He [Jesus] =has perfected = forever = those who are
sanctified.
(Heb 10:15) The
Holy Spirit = also is a witness to us; = for after He had said before,
(Heb 10:16) "This
is the [new] covenant = that I
will make with them = after those days, = says the Lord [God]; = I will put “My
Laws” = into their ‘hearts’, = and = in their ‘minds’ = I will write
them,"
(Heb 10:17) also
He adds, = "Their sins and
their iniquities = I will remember = ‘no’ more."
(Heb 10:18) Now
where remission of these is, = there
is ‘no’ more offering = for sin.

*** (1Peter 4:17-18) For the time has come for the judgment to begin from the house of God. And if
it first begins from us, what will be the end of those disobeying
the gospel of God?
(1Pet 4:18) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
ungodly and the sinner appear?
Love;
in Christ, Roger / “Psalms 138:2”.
