16

He that believes IN Me, even though he were dead, yet shall he live [IN ME].

Without humility there is no repentance, without repentance there is no remission of sin, without the remission of sin there is the absence of the cleansing Grace of Holy Yahweh God's Spirit that gives LIFE to the dead, for those who believe IN Christ Jesus.  Therefore, there is no condemnation of sin within the conscience of the redeemed of men.  In our obedience to the Will of Yahweh God IN Christ Jesus, then sin will not have dominion over us, for in our true repentance from the power of sin, then Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace leads us IN the WAY, and the TRUTH and the LIFE of His Holy Son, the Lord our Righteousness. ^{(See Romans 6 verse 10 thru 18.)}

Do you think  that the Scripture says in vain: The spirit [our spirit] with in us lusts to envy, But He gives more Grace: Wherefore [therefore] He says: God resists the proud, but gives more grace unto the humble. Therefore submit your selves to God, then resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, then God will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts you double minded. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord. Be afflicted, and mourn and weep.  Let your laughter turn to mourning and your joy to heaviness; then He shall lift you up. ^{(See James 4 verse 5 thru 10.)}

In the above passage, James has given an admonishment to the hearer of the Word of God, for all of the elect of God are to submit themselves to  the TRUTH of the Word of God.  In our idolatrous pride, whether Jew or Gentile believer, we don't see ourselves as double minded self righteous fools, but that is exactly what we are in our flesh.  In the second chapter of his letter, James has already addressed those who say they have faith, but have nothing of substance IN Christ that reveals the TRUTH of their supposition. 

But do you not know O man of vanity that faith without words is dead?

We may see our selves as being born again of Christ's Spirit, but are we following the Mind of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace IN Christ Jesus?  What is this conundrum within the schizophrenic mind that boasts of its faith and sits back on its rump?  Don't forget, we still have our own mind of flesh that is inclined to follow its own way that justifies its own thoughts. We are told that we have the Mind of Christ, but know that this Mind is that of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit IN Christ Jesus, and is confronting the spirit of our own mind that lust in its envy of the things of the world. 

O wretched man that I am; Who will save me from this body of death. 

If you are with understanding then choose today whom you will serve.

See that you do not refuse Him that Speaks.  For if they did not escape when they refused Him that spoke on the earth, then much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from Him that speaks from heaven. For our God is a consuming fire. ^{(Hebrews 12 verse 24 thru 25, and verse 29.)}

After His resurrection, Jesus said unto His Disciple:

Thus it is written, and so it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:  And repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.
^{(See Luke 24 verse 45 thru 48.)}

We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat who serve the [earthly] Tabernacle. ^{(Hebrews 13 verse 10.)}

Jesus Christ is the Word of His Father Yahweh God, and Jesus Christ is the Same TRUTH of His Father, yesterday, today and forever, for His Holy Father Yahweh God the Almighty is timeless.
