THE LORD PRUNES THE
FRUIT BEARING TREE
1.
The LORD chose disciples of His, even in present day, Jn 6:
44, teach them, vs. 45, for them to abide in Him and bear spiritual fruits.
THEY SHOULD WORK TO PRODUCE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, Gal 5: 22-23, AND NOT THE
WORKS OF THE FLESH, Gal 5. 19-21. IF THEY DO NOT PRODUCE GOOD FRUITS, THEY
WOULD BE CUT OFF SAYS THE WORD OF GOD.
2 TIM 2: 19 – we are commanded “ LET EVERYONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF CHRIST DEPART FROM
INIQUITY”.
Therefore, SINNERS SHOULD OVERCOME WHEN THE WORD OF GOD
SHOWS ONE’S SINS.
ALL WHAT IS WRITTEN
TO GENTILES APPLY TO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL MINISTERS and PEOPLE TOO WHEN THEY COME
OUT OF CAPTIVITY BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST, through BAPTIZM UNTO HIS
DEATH, RO 6: 3-7, ATTAINING Righteousness unto Holiness, vs.
19,22..
Good seeds are the children of the kingdom, Mt 13.37,38, and those who do iniquity
will be removed from His Kingdom to be burnt at the end of the age, Mt 13.40-42, and the LORD CUTS DOWN THE TREES THAT DOES NOT BEAR FRUITS, Mt
3.10,12.
We are to depart from iniquity
when we NAME THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST-2 TIM 2: 19.
SO THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US TO SIN
AFTER WE RECEIVE HIS GRACE, BUT KEEP CRUCIFYING SINS DAILY, WE SHOULD
DAILY CRUCIFY LUSTS AND AFFECTIONS –GAL 5: 24 (that means get help from the
cross of JESUS CHRIST to escape from lusts).
WHEN WE BEAR FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, LORD PRUNES THE FRUIT
BEARING BRANCHES, He is the vine and we are
the branches, ---to help us, He has given us His spoken word. Jn 15.1-5, it is life giving words, His spirit, Jn 6: 63, WE
ARE TO CONTINUE IN HIS LOVE, BEAR MUCH FRUIT TO BE HIS DISCIPLES, Vs. 8-9. THE
LORDS NEW COMMANDMENT IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, Jn 13.34, in doing so, we
could bear much fruit. He had even helped us pouring His agape love
on us so that we too could love one another, Ro 5: 5.
When
we are given the Holy spirit we are accountable and we can be condemned, Mt
12.35-37, --we should not be deceived,
1 Jn.3.7, we are even to love our enemies and be merciful,
Lk 6.35-36, NOT JUDGING (LORD’s
servants helping members to overcome sin is not judging, Ro 13:3, Tit 3:1),
we should NOT be CONDEMNING, BUT FORGIVING, Lk 6.37. We should not be blind, vs. 39, BUT HUMBLY
SERVING OUR MASTER TO BE
PERFECT AS OUR MASTER, VS. 40,
Rulers
should help members—
Ro 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good
works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do
what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
Tit
3:1 Remind them to be subject to
rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every
good work,
THAT MEANS
RULERS SHOULD CHECK AND GUIDE MEMBERS IF THEY DO EVIL!—RULERS SHOULD SEE
WHETHER MEMBERS OBEY LORD’S JUDGMENTS, AND COMMANDMENTS, RO 13: 8-10.
2
WE ARE
TO ESCAPE CORRUPTION IN THE WORLD--
2Pe 1:4-given to us exceedingly great and precious
promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through
lust.
THAT IS WE COULD HAVE DIVINE NATURE (perfect and Holy as
our master), if we had ESCAPED THE SINFUL NATURE through LUSTS!
-Ac 17:29 "Therefore, since we are the
offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is
like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s
devising.
(right now, the gentiles are offspring of God, in Ps. 22:
30-31 it is written in vs. 31, that gentiles are the seed that would declare
the praises of JESUS CHRIST to Israel which are to be born of God, Ez 47: 22, gentiles
are the first born of poor, Isa 14: 30).
IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE NOT TO SIN AFTER WE RECEIVE THE
HOLY SPIRIT. We are accountable if we sin!
We shall be tried (tested) of our faith, 1 Pet 1: 5-7.—the LORD tests
OUR HEARTS!
Then we ought to study the LORDS WORDS TO DO THEM SO THAT WE
BECOME A GOOD TREE, BEARING GOOD FRUIT, Lk 6.43- 44, Gal 5.22-23.
3
TO PRODUCE FRUITS we should POSSESS
GOD’S LOVE- Producing fruit has to be done abiding in JESUS CHRIST –Jn 15.4-6,
He had shed abroad His love to help us, Ro 5: 5.
LORD’S GOODNESS IS SEEN IN FRUITS OF SPIRIT, Gal 5: 22-23.
Paul wrote about good soldiers of JESUS CHRIST , the elect,
2 Tim 2. 3,10,
In vss 4-7 he wrote about the warfare , rules, and of a
hardworking farmer.
2.Tim 2. 6- The
hard–working farmer must be first
to partake of the crops. In vs. 15 it said “ that this worker must rightly divide the
word of truth.
First fruits therefore should be partaking of the fruits
from the LORD’s words –example, if they love, joy would be produced!
That is the way even ISRAEL should be! When all produce
fruits of joy---everyone would be happy! ---no tears would be shed!
2 Tim 2: 19 – we know “ the LORD knows those who are His”, and we are
commanded “ LET EVERYONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF CHRIST DEPART
FROM INIQUITY”.
4
Then,-- when we say JESUS CHRIST IS THE
TRUE GOD, WE ARE TO DEPART FROM INIQUITY!
God’s people, should check whether
iniquity had defiled them, thereby LORD’S SANCTUARY could be POLLUTED!!
2 Tim 2: 20-21 we are admonished to be cleansed as a
useful vessel to serve our Master JESUS CHRIST .
2 Tim 2.22- Flee also youthful lusts;
but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord
out of a pure heart.
(flee
overly eating and drinking, play 1Co 10:7, flee costly dresses, 1Ti 2:9)
Therefore
the hardworking farmer (at present, the elect) , the gentile ministry under Paul
IS AN EXAMPLE TO PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, FAITH, LOVE, PEACE, OUT
OF A PURE HEART.
You should be able to see now, that these hardworking
farmers are expected to produce fruits of the spirits of Gal 5.22-23
ISRAEL SHOULD LEARN THESE SPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM GENTILES!
WORK OF GENTILE SERVANTS (RE 11:
2-4),
They are the LORD’s MESSENGERS
to Israel, and they are IN SHIPS OF Tarshish, Isa 60: 3,9. Eze. 30: 3, 9.
GENTILES became 1st born of the poor—Isa 14: 30, and were made to serve spiritual
Israel, Isa 14: 1,2, from God’s house, Isa 56: 4-7.
Ships of Tarshish is therefore taking messages to give light of JESUS CHRIST to ISRAEL
of Ro 9: 4,6.
IN THE FOLLOWING VSS. IT IS VERY
CLEAR--
Eze. 30:9 In that day shall messengers go forth from Me
in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, spiritual ETHIOPIANS
ARE SPIRITUAL Israel- Am 9:7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto
Me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD..
Click and Read---
In http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
2 Tim 2: 1, THOSE WHO ARE GROWING IN THE GRACE OF JESUS
CHRIST
(the gentiles as first born, Isa 14: 30), became the
SOLDIERS, ATHLETE, FARMER of 2 Tim 2: 3-6. ISRAEL SHOULD FOLLOW!
The warfare has to be done USING the EQUIPMENT of JESUS
CHRIST—they are--Eph 6:17 - the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God; 1Th 5:-- putting on the
breastplate of faith and
love, and as a helmet
the hope of salvation.
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able
to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Pr 18:10 - The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it,
and is safe.
(YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT WE PRAY AND ASK THINGS IN THE NAME OF
JESUS CHRIST!---His name is a strong tower!)
5
THEREFORE
WHEN WE TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD WE ARE TO DEPART FROM INIQUITY--
2 TIM 2: 19 – we are commanded “ LET EVERYONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF
CHRIST DEPART FROM INIQUITY”.
SPIRITUAL FARMER IS TO USE THE WORD OF GOD—Mt 13: 18-23
tells us of the parable of the sower—
23
“But he who received
seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty,
some thirty.”
THE MAIN POINT IS TO UNDERSTAND THE WORD CLEARLY to be doers ofn the
word!
If we do not understand, and rightly divide the word, we would be IN
TROUBLE!
Tit 2:8 sound speech that cannot be condemned,
1Co 14:8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound,
who will prepare himself for battle?
1Co 15:52 in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.----THROUGH RO 6; 3-7, THE DEAD
WILL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND CHANGED INTO NEWNESS OF LIFE!
WHEN
ONE STUDIES RO 6: 3-7, 19,22 TO BECOME RIGHTEOUS SERVANTS TO JESUS CHRIST, THE
FRUITS WOULD BE PRODUCED---HE WILL ACCEPT THE LORD’S SACRIFICE AND
WOULD BECOME LORD’S TRUE SERVANT, HIS DISCIPLE, TO DWELL WITH THE LORD IN NEW
JERUSAELM, RE 21: 2!
So the farmer of 2 Tim 2 has to produce fruits from the word of God BY
BEING A DOER OF THE WORD—a doer of Ro 6: 3-7—one must accept LORD’s sacrifice!
2Co 9:10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower,
and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the
fruits of your righteousness,
THUS JESUS CHRIST EXPECTS THE FARMER TO PRODUCE FRUITS OF Righteousness.
When one accepts LORD’s
baptizm of Ro 6: 3-7, he would become Righteousness unto holiness, vss 19,22.
AND HE WOULD help MULTIPLY, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS through His
words—that means HE PRUNES our fruits of Righteousness!
If we again read 2
Tim 2.6 The hard–working farmer must be first to partake of the crops. –The holy spirit in
the words of vs. 6 ( words are spirit- Jn 6.63), CLEARLY TELLS US,
THAT THE FARMER MUST FIRST ENJOY HIS FRUITS .
THIS MEANS THE HARD
WORKING FARMER(a soldier of JESUS CHRIST, 2 Tim 2: 3-6) who was given the holy
spirit had to be led by the spirit and produce
fruits of the spirits –Gal 5.22-23-and THEN HE COULD PARTAKE THE CROPS!
6
When you
use holy words, you would produce fruits---
They are--LOVE, JOY,
PEACE , LONGSUFFERING , KINDNESS GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS,
SELF CONTROL.
Vs. 23 says when the farmer is enjoying such fruits of
the spirits, he is not under the Law anymore.
A man who loves brethren , forgives them, helps as he could, would
enjoy the company of brethren, he knows that brethren too would love him, he
would be thankful to the LORD for the joy he has among JESUS CHRIST and
brethren ---HE COULD ENJOY THOSE FRUITS!
He is not under law as he is lawful!
That is BECAUSE
THIS FARMER WAS LED BY THE WORDS OF GOD (led by SPIRIT---words
are spirit--Jn 6.63) then, HE IS NOT UNDER THE LAW, if the spirit leads him—
GAL 5.18. the LORD’s words should lead the man’s life—he has to
take the words into heart and allow the heart to take decisions according to the
words of JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT!—THAT IS HOW ONE IS LED BY THE
SPIRIT!
SPIRIT IS
THE QUICKENING WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST—JN 6: 63
Such a
farmer has attained the law of liberty as he is a doer of the word, Jam 1.25.
In
Gal 5.13 we are commanded NOT TO USE LIBERTY FOR FLESH, BUT THROUGH LOVE SERVE
ONE ANOTHER.
THAT MEANS LIBERTY THAT WE HAVE WHEN WE
HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, CANNOT BE USED TO PRODUCE THE WORKS OF THE FLESH, we
cannot do Gal 5: 19-21!—THEY ARE SINS!
Gal 5.6, faith working through love , vs. 5 by our faith and through the spirit, we
wait for the hope of righteousness in Christ. Righteous requirements of the law fulfills when the
worker walks in spirit –Rom 8.4 , and the worker is not condemned when walking
in spirit, Rom 8.1.
(when the LORD poured His spirit upon us, Acts 2: 17, 18, Joe
2: 28,29, we are to work with His spirit and WALK IN SPIRIT!)
7
LORD forgave us our
sins through His ONE
offering, Heb 10: 14, 18, (vs. 18 says -Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin)
---After He poured His grace and mercy we have no excuse for sin, Jn 8.34,
9.41, 15.22, WE CANNOT
BE SAYING THAT WE DO NOT MIND ABOUT OUR SINS.
2 Tim 2: 19—when we BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, WE
ARE TO DEPART FROM SIN!
WE MUST REMEMBER WE ARE NOT SLAVES OF SINS—BUT
WE ARE SLAVES FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO SERVE JESUS CHRIST --Ro 6:18 And having been set free from sin, we
became slaves of righteousness.
Ro
6:19 I speak in human terms because of
the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of
lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your
members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
We are commanded to
fulfill the Law of Christ by bearing one another’s burdens,--Gal 6.2., we are to love our neighbour as our selves,
Gal 5.14
do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith-
Gal 6.10
EVEN WITH THE ABOVE SHOWN VSS WE CAN SEE THAT JESUS CHRIST
IS PREPARING A RIGHTEOUSS MINISTRY WHO EXERCISES FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT TO SERVE
HIM IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND IN HOLINESS, Mal 3: 3,19. THEY ARE TO PUT AWAY SIN
FROM THEIR LIVES DAILY CRUCIFYING THEM, Gal 5: 24, AS THE WORD LEADS US.
OTHERWISE THE LITTLE LEAVEN (Sin) LEAVENS THE WHOLE LUMP.-Gal 5.9
1 Tim 2.3-7- The
farmer to enjoy his first fruits.
While farming strong winds, stones, birds, beasts, thorns etc, could
trouble the farmer. BUT, THE
FARMER SHOULD ESCAPE AND ENDURE ALL THAT TROUBLE AND PRODUCE THE CROP so that
HE ENJOYS HIS FRUITS. GENTILES
are to ENDURE LIKE THAT, and Israel should DO LIKEWISE.
8
CHOSEN ONES SHOULD BEAR GOOD FRUITS—
PUNISHMENT FOR BAD FRUITS
Jn 15.8- Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so
shall ye be My disciples.
The word expect fruits, Mt 21.34, according to the parable
mentioned in Mt 21.33-43----When Israel rejected the corner stone, Isa 8:
14-16, gentiles were given the precious things of the Kingdom of JESUS CHRIST.
They were grafted in, Rom 11: 17, to draw from the root, JESUS CHRIST. Then they could draw His spirit and
produce fruits, THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT--Gal 5.22-23
Producing fruit is abiding in JESUS CHRIST –Jn 15.4-6—that is doing what
He had commanded.
You are expected to do the will of the LORD, hear the word
and do it Mt 7.19-24.
Every tree
to bear fruit Mt 3.8-12
True prophets will show their fruits. Mt 7.13-16, 20,21.—that
means they are examples to others.
THEY ABIDE IN JESUS CHRIST, HATING SIN, AND CORRECTING
PEOPLE WHO SIN—ROM 13: 3 For
rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil.-- 4 For he is God’s minister to you
for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword
in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who
practices evil.
THEREFORE PROPHETS SHOULD CORRECT NOT ONLY
THEMSELVES, BUT THE MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION TOO.
Good trees
brings forth good fruits but corrupt trees brings forth evil fruits. Mt
7.17-19.---Bad trees will be cut down and burnt Mt 7.18-20
When the Holy spirit is given----and ---- if you speak
and work against the Holy spirit such a one is a corrupt tree and would not be
forgiven-Mt 12.31-37.
Trees which do not bear fruit will be cursed forever, Mt
21.18-20.
MT 12: 32
"Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be
forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be
forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
33 "Either make
the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for
a tree is known by its fruit.
35 "A good man out of the good treasure of
his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure
brings forth evil things.
THEN IF YOUR HEART
IS GOOD, YOU ARE A GOOD TREE, YOU WOULD PRODUCE GOOD FRUITS, the fruits of the
spirit, Gal 5: 22-23.
9
The spiritual trees are the Lords sons and He chastens them
to bear peaceable fruit of Righteousness, He 10.11, 6,8,
If your feet are FOUND TO BE LAME while trying to walk on
straight paths of JESUS CHRIST (that is, if it is difficult to bear
chastening), listen to JESUS
CHRIST’s commands and be healed, Vs. 13, follow peace and holiness without which YOU SHALL
NOT SEE JESUS CHRIST, THEREFORE DO NOT FAIL THE
GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST, by any ROOTS OF
BITTERNESS, through which YOU COULD BE DEFILED, VS. 14-15.
Every tree is known by his own fruits—Lk 6.43-44
The LORD calls us friends (not servants) as He has made us
to know everything. AND HE CHOSE US, ORDAINED US TO
BRING FORTH FRUIT and for THOSE FRUIT TO REMAIN IN US,
Jn 15.14-17, -----when we
keep His commandments the world will hate us, and that is because the LORD HAS
CHOSEN US OUT OF THE WORLD, VS. 18-19, when we serve the LORD WE MAY BE
PERSECUTED VS. 20,
Those who know His name ----but DO NOT KNOW HIS
WAYS, Jn 15.21, are sinful—WE WHO KNOW THE NAME
OF JESUS CHRIST ARE TO DEPART FROM SIN, 2 TIM 2: 19.
If we have heard His ways, BUT REFUSE TO FOLLOW HIM ---are sinning and
that means we hate the LORD, vs. 22-23,
Therefore HIS DISCIPLES SHOULD HEED TO HIS NEW
COMMANDMENT OF LOVING ONE ANOTHER Jn 13.34.
Gal 5.6-Faith
working through love
Through the word, Holy spirit (Jn
6.63) JESUS CHRIST Himself teaches you, Jn 6: 45, about Himself, His desires,
His will, His commandments, Judgments, ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO HIS WAYS. HE
TEACHES THROUGH HIS LIVING WORDS, which is His spirit.
LAW OF CHRIST TO BEAR ONE ANOTHERS BURDENS, GAL 6.2,
SHOULD BE FULFILLED BY LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF, Gal 5.14
IF YOU BITE ONE ANOTHER FOR LUSTING FOR FLESH YOU ARE NOT
WALKING IN SPIRIT-GAL 5.15-17
WE SHOULD NOT DO THE
WORKS OF THE FLESH WHICH ARE LISTED IN GAL 5.19-21, AND IF YOU DO THEM YOU SHALL NOT INHERIT THE
Kingdom of God VS. 21,
10
OVERCOME WHEN THE WORD SHOWS SIN
Repent when you see
sin within you, produce Godly sorrow change yourself to produce fruits of the
spirit by crucifying daily your sins, Gal 5.24,and, Lu 9:23 Then He said to them
all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
OTHERWISE A LITTLE
LEAVEN LEAVENS THE WHOLE LUMP, GAL 5.9
One has to avoid sin
and allow Christ to be in you, Ga 4:19.
CHRIST IS THE END OF
THE LAW FOR BELIEVERS, Rom 10.4 that means BELIEVERS SHOULD BE PERFECT AS
CHRIST, ---Mt 5: 48, 2Co 13:11,
Php 3:14 , Col 1:28-every man perfect in Christ Jesus, 1Pe 1:16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Eph 5:1-
Be ye therefore
followers of God, as dear children;
WE ARE TO PARTAKE DIVINE NATURE, 2Pe 1:4 , Ac 17:29.
IT IS NOT
DIFFICULT---ACCEPT THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST –BE BAPTIZED UNTO HIS
DEATH---THEN YOU WOULD BE Resurrected IN newness of life---YOU WOULD BE FOUND HIS Righteousness unto Holiness, TO
SERVE HIM, RO 6: 3-7, 19,22!
Eph 5:2 And walk
in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
1Jo
3:3 And every man that hath this
hope in Him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 5 And ye
know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth
not: whosoever
sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.
7
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is
righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for
the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth
not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because
he is born of God.
10 In this the
children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not
righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Therefore---when you are born in newness of life, born of
the BAPTIZM UNTO THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST, you cannot sin! Ro 6: 6—do not
serve sin—2 Tim 2: 19—depart from sin!
THEREFORE CHILDREN OF JESUS
CHRIST ARE TO AVOID SIN.
There is no excuse for sin,
Jn 8.34, 9.41, 15.22
JESUS CHRIST saves men from death and death was spread
through sin, Rom 5.12
We are to win the
crown of Righteousness, 2 Tim 4.28, it is a race for the believers, 2 Tim 2.5,
Phi 3.14,
EACH MAN HAS TO BE CAREFUL
HOW HE BUILDS, 1 COR 3.10, WE
ARE TO BE STEADFAST UNTO TO THE END, HEB 3.14, WE SHOULD NOT BE HARDENED THROUGH DECIETFULNESS OF SIN,
but should be exhorting one another daily, HEB 3.13,
11
IT IS LORDS GOODNESS THAT HE LEADS US THROUGH HIS SPIRIT TO
LOVE AS HE DOES.—Ro 5: 5 He had
shed abroad His love in our hearts!
FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT ARE-GAL 5.22-23, AND WE ARE TO BRING
SUCH FRUIT UNTO GOD, Rom 7.4
FRUIT OF SIN IS GAL 5.19-21, AND SUCH SINS BRINGS FRUITS
UNTO DEATH. Rom 7.5
Fruits of the spirit
are fruits of Righteousness, Eph 5.8-10, Phi 1.10-11, Jam 3.16-18.
Therefore the LORD’s WORDS as HIS SPIRIT should
LEADS US TO TAKE DECISIONS, which we then put into action.
Thoughts lead to action.
IF YOUR THOUGHTS ARE BASED UPON GOD’S WORDS –THEN your DEEDS
PRODUCE FRUITS.
GOSPEL BRINGS FORTH
FRUIT WHEN YOU KNOW THE GRACE OF GOD IN TRUTH, Col 5.1-6, and you would be
fruitful in every good work and increase in knowledge, Col 1.9-11
Therefore you have to honour the grace of God bestowed upon you, by
walking in truth, producing fruits of the love of Christ, GIVING THANKS
TO HIM, Heb 13.14-15, as His spirit dwells in you, Rom 8.10,11
It is LORD’s goodness that He poured His spirit.
His spirit leads us and chastens us TO TAKE AWAY PRIDE, LUSTS, OTHER SINS
OUT OF OUR LIVES.
THEREFORE WE SHOULD LISTEN TO HIS INSTRUCTIONS.
When you hear Him
through His spirit, and CHANGE YOUR WAYS OF LIFE, 2 Tim 2.20-21, and follow His
ways TO ABIDE IN HIM—
THEN YOU PRODUCE
FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT AND BECOME PERFECT AS HE IS.
THEN YOU WOULD BE
ABLE TO SERVE HIM IN Righteousness, Mal 3.18
Therefore His ministers who love to serve Him should
follow the ways of JESUS CHRIST, He came
to purify them, Mal 3.3. 18.
TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS.
12
ALL WHAT IS WRITTEN
TO GENTILES APPLY TO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL MINISTERS TOO, Ro 9: 4,6, WHEN THEY COME
OUT OF CAPTIVITY BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST, Zec 9: 11.
THE LORD’S GRACE PURIFIES TO
SAVE US FROM DEATH.
Gentiles were saved
through grace and mercy (as we have shown many times), AND IN THE SAME WAY ALL
Israel WOULD BE SAVED, Rom 11.26 ( as they failed through the mosaic law, THEY HAVE TO BE SAVED BY THEIR
Redeemer, JESUS CHRIST, Isa 41:14, Isa
43:14, Isa 44:6, Isa 47:4, Isa
48:17 , Isa
54:5 For your Maker is your husband, The LORD
of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
He is called the God of the whole earth,
Isa 63:16 Doubtless You are our Father, Though Abraham
was ignorant of us, And Israel does not acknowledge us. You,
O LORD, are our Father; Our Redeemer from
Everlasting is Your name.),
All titles for JESUS CHRIST
the SAVIOUR of ISRAEL!
Salvation came to gentiles to provoke Israel, Rom 11: 11,
Gentiles were saved through His blood, Eph 2: 13
Paul was saved through BAPTIZM unto LORD’s death, Php 3:
10 is similar to Ro 6: 3-7
PAUL PRAYED FOR Israel- Ro 10:1
Brethren, my heart‘s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they
may be saved.
Rom 11: 15--But when the LORD receives Israel, it shall
be life from dead (Laodiceans are spiritually dead, they are to be given life!
Their life was cut off, Eze. 13: 9),
26 And so all
Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the
Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is My
covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Whose blood takes away sins?—it is JESUS CHRIST’S--
Mt 26:28 "For
this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission
of sins.
Ac 10:43 "To
Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in
Him will receive remission of sins.", Heb 9:22- without
shedding of blood there is no remission.
THEREFORE, they have to believe in
JESUS CHRIST and HIS WAYS, Rom 11.23.
After saving though grace, one who still sins might mistakenly argue that
he will be redeemed FROM EVERY LAWLESS DEED AFTER THE OFFERING OF JESUS CHRIST
FOR HIS/HER SINS.---------BUT ------THERE IS ONLY ONE OFFERING-----Heb 10.18,
Christ was once offered,---Heb 9.26,28, Jn 1.7
NO MORE OFFERING FOR SIN -- Heb 10.18
IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE
OF THE TRUTH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN BUT A FEARFUL PUNISHMENT, Heb 10.26-29, because,
we insult the spirit of grace if we sin, and count the blood of the covenant as
a unholy thing, vs. 29.
13
Jude 1.4 is prophesy
for today
Just as the word
says the perversion of God’s truth had happened long ago in the early church.
It could repeat today too IF YOU TURN THE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST INTO
LAWLESSNESS ! IF YOU DO NOT HONOUR THE LAWS OF CHRIST, IT
COULD BE LICENSE TO IMMORALITY, AND THOSE WHO RECEIVED GRACE COULD DENY JESUS CHRIST AND BE
PUNISHED—Heb 10: 29.
JUDE 1.5 IS A
WARNING FOR SUCH.-----SAVED PEOPLE COULD BE DESTROYED if they DO NOT BELIEVE
JESUS CHRIST AND OBEY HIM TO
PRODUCE HOLINESS.---holiness is required to serve Him, and that is
why the LORD Himself makes us holy and perfect to serve Him through His
sacrifice, which we could get through BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, RO 6: 3-7, 19,22!
TO BE A DOER OF RO 6: 3-7 is
very important to our lives to be made sinless and to get newness of life!
LORD’S PURPOSES ARE VERY SERIOUS, IT IS FEARFUL TO FALL
INTO THE HANDS OF GOD AS HE DOES NOT TAKE HIS WORKS LIGHTLY, Heb 10:31, WE ARE TO
HONOUR HIM, PRAISE HIM, THANK HIM IN SPECIAL WAYS HE HAD MENTIONED IN THE WORD.
WE ARE TO LEARN FROM
David WHO HAD A HEART AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART, Ac 13:22, AND HE LOVED GOD AND
PRAISED HIM IN SPECIAL WAYS AS WE NOTE FROM 1 Chr 23---all psalms shows how he
loves the LORD!.
Heb 10:37 "For yet a little while, And He who is
coming will come and will not tarry.
WE ARE
TO BE PATIENT AND ENDURE TO THE END.
Jas 5:
9 Do not grumble against one another, brethren,
lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!
10 My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in
the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience.11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure.
Ro 6:22 But now having been set free from sin, and
having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end,
everlasting life.
That is what LORD
gives us through Ro 6: 3-7!
In JESUS CHRIST we are called to liberty and it should be
used to serve and love brethren, Gal 5.13-17, WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL TO AVOID SIN,
otherwise, A LITTLE LEAVEN COULD LEAVEN
THE WHOLE LUMP, GAL 5.9. BEAR GOOD FRUITS SO THAT THE LORD WILL PRUNE YOU TO
BEAR MORE FRUITS,
Joh 15:2 "Every
branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that
bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
This
is further explained IN PARABLE OF TALENTS—
If you do not use the TALENTS the LORD had given you, it
will be given to the ONE WHO USES THEM, Mt 25:28.
14
THE LORD WOULD GIVE CHANCES FOR US TO DO GOOD, AND
WE SHOULD BE DOING GOOD which would SHOW OUR FRUITS.
AND HE
WOULD REWARD US-
JESUS CHRIST will
reward each according to his works, Mt 16:27,
Lu 6:35 "But love your enemies, do good, and
lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great,
1Co 3:8--each one
will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Col 3:24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive
the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
2Jo 1:8 Look to
yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may
receive a full reward.
Col 2:18 Let no one cheat you of your reward,----
intruding into those things which he
has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Re
22:12 "And behold, I am coming
quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
ALL PRAISE TO JESUS
CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR. Amen.
