1 | Agreed, but on that note.... | Prov 28:9 | Eliyahu | 161994 | ||
I agree to these verses you have posted. But there's something else in my spirit that is calling out to me about walking in righteousness. In Yeremyahu (Jeremiah) 31:33, it says that the Covenant that is coming, being mediated by the Meshiach, would write the Torah upon our hearts. It will not be as before where the Torah is written on parchment for us to read and try to measure ourselves up to, but it will be a new nature within us, replacing our carnal nature. Hence, in walking by the Spirit given to us (I John 3:24), we keep the Torah by nature. So that leaves me with this question: If the Messiah writes the Torah upon our hearts, that we keep it because it is our new nature, why don't I see this in our modern churches? Is something missing in today's church? I'm not trying to preach legalism, but at the same time, I'm certainly not going to promote "illegalism" (or lawlessness) either. Any thoughts? Shalom. |

I think that a lot of times people get the word churches confused with the word church. There are millions that belong to a local assembly, which is nothing more that an organization and they use the generalized term Christian. The “true church” is not an organization, but a living organism, and its members make up the body, and Christ is the head. Just because someone might be a member of a church doesn’t mean that they are a member of the true Church that Christ Jesus is building. Matthew 16:18 (B) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. It’s only the members of the actual body of Christ that have laws of God written on their heart. The biggest difference is that the members of “The Church” actually have The Spirit of God dwelling within them. John 14:16-18 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. God doesn’t reside in a local building that we may call a church or a synagogue. 1 Cor. 6:19 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? The best advice that I could give anyone is to get their eyes off of people and their churches and fix your eyes on Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus the Christ. John 4:21-26 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. [22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. [23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. [25] The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. [26] Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. Here are the verses of Scripture that are the most precious to me! 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Isn’t God just more then super fantastic and to think what He did for us in the person of His Son Yeshua! Have a great day, CDBJ |
