The Secret of the LORD.

Status
Not open for further replies.
Pss.25
[14] The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him;
and he will shew them his covenant.


When we know the LORD’s secret then we have obtained the resolution to:
(1) the major contributor to our confusion,
(2) the lack of our energy/ abundant life from Christ, our creator
(3) the missing manifold, unspeakable grace
and (4) the missing unspeakable, constant joy and the resulting liberal good deeds.

At that time we obtain >> personal access to the Father and to his Son.
We have been struggling and ‘living’ in ‘death’ for many generations.

The >> secret of the LORD is revealed by the Gift = the Spirit of GOD,
that Christ, our precious one, gives to those
who >> return/ come to him and who obey the Apostles = obeying him = obeying his Father.

We come/ return to Jesus, the Mighty God of Israel, through the legal ‘Strait Gate’ of Baptism.
***
Luke.13
[23] Then someone said to him, LORD (the Mighty God, from heaven),
are there few (Israelites) who are saved >> (per the Prophet Isaiah)?
He said to them:
[24] Strive (struggle against opposition by others) to enter in at the Strait Gate
for many (the majority), I (the Savior) say to you, will seek to enter in and shall not be able.

Christians do not dissuade but obey, edify and build each other.

Baptism must be done acceptably.
Jesus must be called upon from >> under the water << or there is no response.
After baptism (calling on Jesus, who with his Father, abundantly pardons)
we receive (1) forgiveness of our sins >> (that all people should desire)
and (2) the priceless Gift of the Holy Spirit,
exactly like the Spirit filled, Spirit led, totally honest, Holy Apostle Peter, said below:
***
Acts.2
[36] Therefore let the house (the 12 tribes) of Israel know assuredly,
that GOD has made >> (has previously exalted) that same Jesus,
whom you (Israelites) have crucified,
(to be) both LORD (the national God of the nation of Israel/ the Mighty God)
and (now GOD has sent him as) Christ.
[37] Now when the Israelites heard this (explanation), they were pricked in their heart,
and they said to Peter and to the rest of the (ordained Spirit filled, Spirit led) Apostles:
Men and brethren, what shall we do? >> (How shall we rectify this?)
[38] Then Peter, (who holds the keys to the invisible Kingdom of GOD) said to them:
Repent (return to Jesus the incarnated God of Israel),
and be baptized, every one of you >> (without exception/ ONE Law for everyone),
in/ into/ calling on the name of Jesus Christ, to obtain the remission of your sins,
and after that you shall receive
the (priceless) Gift of the Holy Ghost >> (from Jesus Christ upon whom you called.)

When the Spirit of the Father and the Son begin to reside in us,
we experience the >> true existence with help from GOD and Christ

All things are clarified to us by the Spirit.

1 John.2
[26] I have written these Teachings to you, concerning those people who seduce (derail) you.
[27] But the Anointing (of the Holy Spirit)
that you have received from Jesus (after baptism calling on Jesus) remains in you,
and you do not need that any (normal non spirit led) man teach you
but like the same Anointing teaches you about everything, and is truth, and is no lie,
and even like it/ the Spirit has taught you, >> (to remain joined to Christ)
you shall remain in (fellowship with) him/ Christ (and automatically with his bonded Father)
[28] Now, little (co-operative) children,
remain in (fellowship with) Jesus
so that, when Jesus (physically) returns,
we (the Apostles and you) may have confidence >> (to approach him)
and not be ashamed, before him, at his (physical) return.
***
The N.T. Scriptures records, about good happenings,
that sounds like fables to others who read or hear only, manifest in our personal lives.

Christians started being the salt of the earth and the light of the earth.
How have we fallen?

Below the Servant of GOD gives us the remedy:

Hos.14
[1] O Israel (and us Gentiles),
Return (through baptism), to the LORD (Jesus) your God,
for you have fallen (from a high status and close relationship with GOD) by your iniquity.
[2] Take (honest) words with you and turn to the LORD (Jesus) and say to him:
(Please): Take away all of our iniquity and graciously/ mercifully receive us
So that we will render the calves (praise) of our lips >> (from our hearts)

STEPS: Return to Christ by baptizing calling on him from under the water >
>obtain forgiveness and the Gift of the Spirit >> the revelation of the Secret of the LORD >>
great blessings and good times >>>> until our blessed Jesus, who debased himself for us, comes.

Col.2
[6] Like you (baptized converts) have received Christ Jesus,
the (good) LORD (who came from heaven),
similarly walk in (fellowship with) him
[7] Rooted/ implanted and built up in him,
and established in the faith (in him and his Father who raised him from the dead),
like you have been taught (by the Apostles),
abounding/ overflowing in (faith in BOTH),
with thanksgiving/ gratitude >> (to Our GOD and Our LORD).
[8] Beware lest any man (any natural thinker),
spoils you through Philosophy and vain (useless) deceit,
after the tradition/ the natural understanding of men,
after the rudiments of the (natural) world
and not after Christ >> (who created us and who knows all and was with GOD from the beginning)
[9] For the fullness of the Godhead (= the Spirit without measure)
lives bodily, in him. >> (Jesus gives us a measure of the Spirit after baptism calling on him)
[10] and you are complete in Jesus, who is the head (the manager)
of all principality and power:
[11] In (fellowship with) Jesus you are also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands,
in putting off (removing) the body of/ from the sins of the flesh,
by the circumcision of Christ >>(the God of Israel)
[12] Buried (submerged) with Jesus in baptism,
in which you are also risen with him through the faith of the operation/ power of GOD,
who has raised him from the dead.
[13] And you (baptized Gentiles), being dead (lacking energy) in your sins,
and the un-circumcision of your flesh
GOD has quickened (energized/ made alive) together with Jesus,
having (delightfully) forgiven you all of you trespasses.

The wise GOD does not give useless instructions.
The just Israelite knows the value of obedience to GOD and of friendly relations.
We Gentiles must learn, improve and enjoy.
David who wrote so many Psalms was not usually sad or under stress.
