Subject: how you have so much faith |
Bible Note: Hello Doc, In Mk 1:14-15, Jesus Christ told us to repent and believe after John the Baptist went to prison. It is very important to sincerely repent. 1Jn 3: 6. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not. Whosoever sinneth, hath not seen Him, neither knoweth Him. We were also told to believe and that is the same Gospel Truth as having the faith Paul described in Ro 1:16-21. There, Paul told us that the Gospel reveals a Righteousness of God from faith unto faith. Does this have to do with Mt 6:33? Yes, it does. We cannot continue to belong to the Law of Sin and Death, we must belong to the Law of the Spirit of Life. That cannot take place until we seek first and find first according to Mt 6:33. We must go through the narrow Gate and travel on the narrow Road to belong to the Law of the Spirit of Life. Paul also wrote that the Gospel is the Power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes. That Power from on High was promised by Jesus Christ in Scriptures such as Lk 24 and Ac 1:1-11. In 1Co 1, we read that Power of God becomes our Wisdom from God, Righteousness, Sanctification and Redemption through Jesus Christ. This is the anointing from the Holy One that John wrote about in 1Jn 2, the anointing that teaches us. This is what it means to put on the Armor of Light that is Jesus Christ, Jn 1:1-18; Ro 13:12-14. There truly is something very specific that those of us with the Scriptures must seek first according to Mt 6:33 before we can put on the Armor of Light and let our Light shine. Read Ac 13 for a perfect example of Paul's preaching. Especially notice: Ac 13:47: For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a Light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth. 48. And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the Word of God and as many as were ordained to eternal Life believed. 49. And the Word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region. In the service of the Righteous One, anne |
