Ps 143:10
Proverbs 1:23
Isa 59:21
Psalms 143 :10
: What is God's Will?
Hebrews 10: 8 After He says above, You did
not desire or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole burnt
offerings and sin offerings, (which are offered according to the
law), 9 He then says, See, I have come to do
Your will. He takes away the first to establish
the second. 10 By this will, we have been
sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once
and for all.
Proverbs 1:23 :
"23 Let us hold on to the confession of our
hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful."
I think it explains itself pretty well... He who promised, is
faithful... Amen
Isaiah 59:1
: WOW.. thank you for giving this verse..
it is beautiful... I suggest reading the whole thing from
beginning to end... however, for the time being, up till verse 17
is sufficient..
Isaiah 59:1 ~ 17 :
1 Indeed, the LORD's hand is not too short to
save,
and His ear is not too deaf to hear.
2 But your iniquities
have built barriers
between you and your God,
and your sins have made Him hide [His] face from
you
so that He does not listen.
3 For your hands are
defiled with blood,
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
and you mutter injustice.
4 No one makes claims
justly;
no one pleads honestly.
They trust in empty and worthless words;
they conceive trouble and give birth to
iniquity.
5 They hatch viper's
eggs
and weave spider's webs.
Whoever eats their eggs will die;
crack one open, and a viper is hatched.
6 Their webs cannot
become clothing,
and they cannot cover themselves with their
works.
Their works are sinful works,
and violent acts are in their hands.
7 Their feet run after
evil,
and they rush to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are sinful thoughts;
ruin and wretchedness are in their paths.
8 They have not known the
path of peace,
and there is no justice in their ways.
They have made their roads crooked;
no one who walks on them will know
peace.
9 Therefore justice is
far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We hope for light, but there is darkness;
for brightness, but we live in the night.
10 We grope along a wall
like the blind;
we grope like those without eyes.
We stumble at noon as though it were
twilight;
[we are] like the dead among those who are
healthy.
11 We all growl like
bears
and moan like doves.
We hope for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, [but] it is far from us.
12 For our transgressions
have multiplied before You,
and our sins testify against us.
For our transgressions are with us,
and we know our iniquities:
13 transgression and
deception against the LORD,
turning away from following our God,
speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering lying words from the
heart.
14 Justice is turned
back,
and righteousness stands far off.
For truth has stumbled in the public
square,
and honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth is
missing,
and whoever turns from evil is plundered.
The LORD saw that there was no
justice,
and He was offended.
16 He saw that
there was no man—
He was amazed that there was no one
interceding;
so His own arm brought salvation,
and His own righteousness supported
Him.
God saw that there was NO man that could keep His Law.. You said
the Law is truth... yes, like I said, it does not lie.. and
if you keep it perfectly, then yes, that truth applies to you.. but
see here! In this Psalm, it says that truth is missing... it is
outside and cannot enter.. because there is no one
righteous.. How many millions of people were in Israel, and
God saw NONE righteous.. and None was worthy to intercede..
"Beresheet is not out because the Word was already there... the
Law was there from the beginning."
If the Law was there from the beginning, then why was Jacob not
killed when he deceived his own father Isaac? The Law says he who
dishonors his parents should be stoned, doesn't it?
I have repeatedly said that the Grace we have received is not to
be used as an excuse to sin. In fact, I have also repeatedly
mentioned that because of His grace, we now want to live according
to His law, but this time, it is because the Spirit is the one who
leads us. But anyway, your verse is interesting.. and i
shall provide my answer..
1 John
2:4 : "3 This is how
we are sure that we have come to know Him: by keeping His commands.
4 The one who says, "I have come to know Him,"
without keeping His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in
him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly in him
the love of God is perfected. This is how we know we are in Him:
6 the one who says he remains in Him should
walk just as He walked."
This verse is actually a verse that was meant to give
confirmation. It is saying that, if you are in Christ, you will
keep His commands...
Let me use a different example in order to make it clearer..
This is how we are sure that I have been born to my parents, by
having the DNA of my parents. The one who says " I am born to
mr and mrs XXX " but has not the DNA of Mr and Mrs XXX is a liar,
and the truth is not in him.But whoever has the DNA of Mr and Mrs
XXX , truly is their son. This is how we know we are of Mr
and Mrs XXX: The one who says he is their son should have their
DNA..
Do you understand now?
We are able to keep His commandments because we have come to
know Christ, and not the other way around..
