“The ‘Simplicity & Complexity’ of Salvation in Christ Jesus – 401” …Blog. [4/4]

5.    Principle SIX: The Holy Spirit of GOD… HE it is that does God’s Work through US…!

*** (Isaiah 6:8) And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us [Genesis 1:26]? Then I said: –> Here am I: –> send me!

“One Hand, one Foot & one Eye – 101” …Blog.
*** (Luke 17:10) So likewise you; when you shall have done “All” the things “Commanded” you, say; We are unprofitable servants; for we have done what was [only] Our = ‘DUTY’ To Do.

*** (Romans 8:9) You, however, are not of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit; since God's [Holy] Spirit lives in you. And if anyone ‘does Not’ have the Spirit of Christ, he does = ‘NOT’ = belong to Him.

*** (Proverbs 12:22) Lying lips are Abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are His delight. [John 17:17]

“Satan said, ‘You’ are “Not” doing ‘Enough for JESUS’ – 101” …Blog.

*** (John 8:44) You belong to your father the Devil; and ‘You’ want to carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning; and has Never stood by the Truth; since there is “No Truth” in him. Whenever he tells a Lie, he speaks in character; for he is a Liar and the “Father of LIES!

“Reasonable Service – 101” …Blog.

*** (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. [Galatians 5:16-to-26]
(Rom 12:4) For we have many parts in one body; but these parts do ‘Not’ all have the same function [office].

“The ‘High Calling’ of God in Christ Jesus– 101” …Blog.

*** (Revelation 1:17-18) And when I [John] saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right upon me, saying to me, Do not fear, I am the First and the Last, [Isaiah 44:6]
(Rev 1:18) And the Living One, and I became ‘Dead’, and behold, I am “Alive” forever and ever, Amen. And I [Jesus] have the keys of hell and of death.

*** (Jude 1:3-4) Having made all haste to write to you about the common salvation; beloved, I had need to write to you; to exhort you to ‘contend earnestly’ for the [True] Faith; once delivered to the saints.
(Jude 1:4) For some people have slipped in; among you “Unnoticed”. They were written about long ago as being deserving of this condemnation; because they are ungodly. They turn the grace of our God into uncontrollable lust and “Deny” our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

“Earnestly ‘Contending’ for the: ‘True Faith’ – 101”…Blog [1/5]

*** (Matthew 24:23-24-25) Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ! Or, There! Do Not believe it.
(Matt 24:24) For false Christ’s and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.
(Matt 24:25) Behold, I [Jesus] -> have told you beforehand.

“Are You ‘WATERING?’ – 101” …Blog
Perhaps You have taken the ‘time & effort’ to STUDY… these Bible Blogs and this discussion. ONE MORE TIME… “Salvation is the Indwelling Holy Spirit”…!  That is the Essence of being “Born Again”… Born from Above… [Promised by Christ in John 7:38-39]… by the Holy Spirit of God! He supplies ALL… “His Love, Mercy & Grace”… so that we might be His Workmanship in Christ Jesus! This was all Planned, before the foundation of the World!

*** (Revelation 13:8) And all dwelling on the earth will worship it, those whose names have Not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain, from the foundation of the world.

*** (Ephesians 1:13-14) in Whom also you, Hearing the Word of Truth, the gospel of our salvation, in Whom also believing, [Acts 15:8-9] you were Sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise,
(Eph 1:14) Who is the earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. [Romans 8:9]

“Christ In You, the Hope of Glory – 101” …Blog.

*** (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.

*** (Ephesians 2:10) For we are His masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared long ago to be our way of life.

Old Testament Covenant Israel… had the Laws, Ordinances, Precepts, Statutes and Levitical Sacrifices, Daily! In addition to the Feast Days, prescribed by the Law! The New Testament Covenant of Grace: through the Finished Work of Redemption by Christ Jesus… Fulfilled all these Requirements! No, that does Not mean… “That we can live Lawlessly”…! Here is where MUCH of the Confusion comes from. When ONE does not Fully Understand the COMPLETED LEVITICAL SACRIFICES… then they are always TRYING to Keep the Law! The True LOVE of GOD… shed abroad in our Hearts… drives us to the “Responsibility of Grace” within the Framework of His Love…!

*** (Matthew 5:28) But I [Jesus] say to you, anyone who stares at a woman with lust for her has “Already” committed adultery with her in his heart.

*** (2Peter 2:14) With eyes full of adultery, they cannot get enough of sin. They seduce unsteady souls and have had their hearts expertly trained in greed. They are doomed to a curse.

*** (Jeremiah 5:8) They were like lusty, well-fed stallions in the morning; every one neighing after his neighbor's wife.

*** (Job 31:1) I made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I [Lustfully] look upon a virgin?

*** (Romans 13:8-9-10) Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves another has fulfilled the Law.
(Rom 13:9) For: "Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not lust;" and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
(Rom 13:10) Love works “No Ill” to its neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

*** (1John 2:5-6) But whoever keeps His Word, truly in this one the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him. [Romans 8:15-16-17]
(1Jn 2:6) He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked.

*** (1John 4:9-to-19) In this the love of God was revealed in us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him.
(1Jn 4:10) In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation concerning our sins. [John 19:30]
(1Jn 4:11) Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
(1Jn 4:12) No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and His love is perfected in us.
(1Jn 4:13) By this we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, “Because” He has given us of His Spirit. [John 7:38-39 & Romans 8:9 & Ephesians 1:13-14]
(1Jn 4:14) And we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. [2Corinthains 5:18-to-21]
(1Jn 4:15) Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in Him and he in God. [Romans 10:8-to-13]
(1Jn 4:16) And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
(1Jn 4:17) In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that as He is, so also we are in this world.
(1Jn 4:18) There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love. [Hebrews 2:13-14-15]
(1Jn 4:19) We love Him because He first loved us.

*** (Romans 5:1-to-5)  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. [John 14:27 & Isaiah 32:17]
(Rom 5:2) Through Him we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice on the hope of the glory of God. [Hebrews 4:16]
(Rom 5:3) And not only this, but we glory in Afflictions also, knowing that Afflictions work out Patience,
(Rom 5:4) and Patience works out Experience, and Experience works out Hope.
(Rom 5:5) And Hope does Not make us ashamed, Because the Love [Agape] of God has been poured out in our Hearts THROUGH: the Holy Spirit given to us.

What or should I say… WHO… ties all these TRUTHS of Scripture Together in our Hearts…? Dare I say, the Indwelling Holy Spirit of GOD…? Absolutely YES…!  Just as the Scripture SAYS…!

“The Holy Spirit is SALVATION and HE it is that lives in US… that “God Life”… through our Yielded Selves in the Fullness of His Holy Spirit! “Christ In You, the Hope of Glory!” [Colossians 1:27 & 2Corinthains 3:5] That is WHY: it is so very Important TO: “Know, Read, Study & Obey”… His Holy Word: “DAILY [2Corinthains 4:16 & John 15:1-2-3]! Pray without Ceasing [1Thessalonians 5:15] “Continually” that WE allow His Holy Spirit… to Lead US… into all His Holy Truth! What is the Simple Solution…? It is Written…

*** (Luke 10:25-to-28) Just then an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. He asked, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
(Luke 10:26) Jesus answered him, "What is written in the law? What do you read there?"
(Luke 10:27) He answered, "You must love the Lord your God with all your HEART, with all your SOUL, with all your STRENGTH, and with all your MIND. [2Corinthains 10:3-to-6] And you must love your neighbor as yourself."
(Luke 10:28) Jesus told him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

FINAL QUESTION:
How can You do “ANY” of this… Without the… “INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIIT”…?

Answer:You Cannot”…!

Conclusion: “The Indwelling Holy Spirit”… is Salvation!

*** (Romans 8:9) You, however, are not of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit; since God's [Holy] Spirit lives in you. And if anyone ‘does not’ have the Spirit of Christ, he does = ‘NOT’ = belong to Him.
