Christians are children of God

(…continues from part 1…)

2)            1John 5:2-3 2) “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3) For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” Why would the Apostolic office of John write to the generality of Christianity that the keeping of God’s commandments are not grievous? Barus (bar-ooce’), the Greek for ‘grievous’ means: ‘weighty, that is, (figuratively) burdensome, grave, oppressive, wearisome, unsparing, cruel:’ God’s commandments are the footprints of His dealings with us. We understand that the One Who first loved us has shown us the committed love of agapé.

                The love of a parent does not permit him to twitch his nose when cleaning up his child of the putridity that comes from emptying the bowels. Commitment. The wife toils tirelessly to make the husband and the children comfortable. Commitment. Selflessly, the politician does everything to take care of the needs of the hoi polloi, the middle and the upper classes of the population, knowing that that is what the LORD God expects of him: he is committed to his political job. The love of Christ enables us not to perceive God’s commandments as being grievous. Having been graced with the attributes of love, the Holy Spirit has fortified us to live seamlessly in our walk with Jehovah. What constitutes perfection before God is doing His divine will.

“I am the Almighty God; walk before me” (Gen 17:1)

                The LORD God is an economist when it comes to the use of words: verbosity cannot be found dancing on the lips of the Divinity. Adamic perfection is attainable. If not, He would have misused the words of Genesis 17:1 “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.” Abraham’s integrity before the LORD his God was indubitable. His faith in God, unwavering, was absolute. Yes, one can be perfect before God. What does it take? Strict adherence to His instructions and commandments is all it takes.

                Deuteronomy 18:13 “Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.” Moses was told to inform the children of Israel of this perfection, which is not impossible to attain. Verses ten to twelve tell them how to go about this perfection: keeping away from the abominations of the land they were about to entrance. Imperfect way before God, the Creator of verse nine is “passing through fire” found in the tenth verse. This is an initiation ritualism into the worship of Moloch, where the child is led through two fires by its cultic priest. The next is “use of divination,” that is. foretelling secret things to come. They are not to be “observer of times” meaning the use of superstition to declare days of luck and observance of horoscope.

                They should not be involved in the business of “enchantment”. The word ‘enchanter’ is the Hebrew nachash (naw-chash’): ‘1. (properly) to hiss, i.e. whisper a (magic) spell. 2. (generally) to prognosticate.’ A ‘witch’ is in covenant relationship with Satanism. A ‘charmer’ is a one who ‘fascinates (by means of spells) and subdues noxious animals or men. ‘A consulter with familiar spirits’ makes use of certain words and or rituals to engage in evil designs. While ‘wizard’ is yidd`oniy (yid-deh-o-nee’): ‘1. (properly) a knowing one. 2. (specifically) a conjurer of familiars. 3. (by implication) a familiar (i.e. an intimate ghost or spirit guide);’ the ‘necromancer’ is one who makes inquiries from the dead. Is it difficult not to get engaged in these things God abhors? If not, then, keeping away from these things of Satanism makes one to walk perfectly before God. Amen!

Job…a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil (Job 1:8).

                Job 1:1 “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.” 2Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.” ‘Perfect,’ from this verse is shâlêm (shaw-lame’): ‘complete (literally or figuratively); especially friendly.’ Psalm 101:6 “Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.” In this verse ‘perfect’ is tâmı̂ym (taw-meem’).’

HOW TO BE PERFECT

                The perfect LORD God has made it less arduous for those whose hearts seek Him to attain unto perfection before His scrutiny. Malicious thoughts are constantly running through the minds of people through the agency of Satanism. In order to get this evil from man’s system Jesus taught in Matthew 5:24 “Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” You cannot serve two masters, spiritually speaking, God understands this facticity. To help you get freed from the contamination of malice: a sowing of Satanism, the Word of God tells you never to show yourself in the presence of the Most High Jehovah with Lucifer as your companion.

                Getting born again is a conscious effort on the part of an individual. Get born again. Say this sinner’s prayer.

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
