That we may have boldness in the day of judgment........

We can never truly serve God the way he wants, thinking if we don't, he'll cast us into hell! For purpose of re-iteration, I say no sin is powerful of itself to make a believer go to hell! You can never serve God in fear; it'll never work! The Word says, He that feareth is not made perfect in love..' -1 John 4:18! We can only serve God in a 'Love-awe' : A joyful realization of his magnificent greatness and love to us. God wants us to serve him because we choose to, having realized his love for us! The Old testament was a mountain of Fear, but we are come to Mount Zion, to the blood of Jesus that speaks better things for us than the blood of Abel Hebrews 12:17-24. In Light of this, he says, 'Let us have GRACE whereby we may serve God acceptably in awe and godly reverence-Hebrews 12:28'. Why will we make heaven? Why will we have boldness in the day of judgement! Simple! Because, As HE IS, so are we IN THIS WORLD- 1 John 4:17. How do we become AS HE IS? Simple, believing in Christ makes him your justifier and you the justified; both of you are all of one-Hebrews 2:11! What an amazing life! ‪#‎Epignosis‬ ‪#‎GreaterGlory‬

What is Holiness in the New testament?

Holiness is not necessarily what you do. God's Word reveals what holiness is in the new covenant. Hebrews 12;14-15 says, 'Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently (unto Jesus) lest any man fail of the grace of God! Holiness before God is depending on the finished work of Christ: our lifestyle should be a fruit of this! This tallies with the same thought Paul expresses in Colossians 1:22-23, '...Holy, Unblamable and unreprovable in his sight: if thou be not moved from the Hope of the Gospel (Christ)'. Jesus is our sanctification- 1 Corinthians 1:31. When you came into Christ you became the sanctified- 1 Corinthians 6:10! As long as you believe Jesus shed his blood, independent of your good works, Heaven is sure for you! ‪#‎Epignosis‬ ‪#‎GreaterGlory

Everyone that hath this hope......

I glory in the word of God today! Thanks be unto God for his Word of Grace! Why should we live right? What should be our motivations? It's an assumption that many have made to say I preach grace to encourage people to sin; if that's your conclusion, surely, you have not heard or listened to me! 1 John 3:3 says, 'And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure...' Wow! This is remarkable! God is saying everyone who is confident of making heaven purifies himself. Notice he didn't say everyone that, 'aspires or wants' this hope should purify himself. But everyone that HAS this Hope! How do I 'HAVE' this hope? Let's look at the preceding verses, Verses 1-2, 'Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us,because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.' Notice here, that we are Children of God as a result of the 'BESTOWED LOVE' of God; that which we didn't work for. We are children of God! Therefore, he says when he comes we shall look like him, for we are as he is, based on his Love! Since we are certain we look like him, we purify ourselves. Therefore, Right living should be done in recognition of the Righteousness of God we have become, not to aspire to become righteous and heaven-bound! ‪#‎Epignosis‬ ‪#‎GreaterGlory‬

Sin shall have no dominion over you!

Romans 6:14 tells us that 'Sin shall have no dominion over you, because you are no longer under the Law, but under grace'! In here lies a great truth: Any One under the Law is a slave to sin! This is what a lot of our friends in religion have not realized when they try to impose the law as a guide to life and a basis of God's judgement of us! Did you know that by the Law is the 'Knowledge' of sin- Romans 3:20? 'Knowledge' here is the Greek Word, 'Epignosis'. Epignosis refers to 'Knowledge of experience'. In other words, the Law brings man into an experience with sin; it made man a sinner! In Romans 7:7, Paul says 'I had not known lust, expect the Law said, 'Thou shalt no covet'! No habit will be broken by putting laws of restraint. Only Grace; God's transforming ability making a sinner God's righteousness can break Sin's dominion. As you get acquainted with the Grace through the Word of God, you'd effortlessly break the Habits that have held you bound and live righteously to God's glory! ‪#‎Epignosis‬ ‪#‎GreaterGlory‬

The Sinless Life!

I am amazed at how many people are preaching against sin and unholiness and yet they expect results. Nowhere has the message of sin and condemnation helped anyone! There is such a life as the sinless life! This is the Gospel! A life beyond the struggles against sin; a life Jesus facilitated by his precious blood. Have you come to the awesome awareness that no longer are you a sinner? Do you know that by your faith in Christ, you are born of God and therefore cannot and should not sin? 1 John 3:9 says, '..He CANNOT sin because he is BORN OF GOD?' A Christian who still sins is one who has not come into the comprehension of who he is! You are a PARTAKER of the DIVINE NATURE, the Transcendent God-character! We are no longer slaves to do evil; we are bound to do right! We are slaves to righteousness- Romans 6:18! The power for these to become literal realities for you is embedded in believing and meditating on these thoughts from Scriptures. Consistent with its character, God's Word will MAKE YOU what it talks about! ‪#‎Epignosis‬ ‪#‎GreaterGlory‬

The Historyless Ones!

When you got born-again, several things happened! Many people do not understand this, that's why they use the words they use and live the lives they live! The One who is a Christian, does NOT have a PAST! You are a New Creation; the Word, 'New', derives from the Greek, 'Kainos', meaning, 'Unprecedented, Novel, 'Never-existed-before'! You NEVER EXISTED BEFORE! Therefore, you ...are NOT suffering the effects of the Sins of the PAST! You suffer because of your Ignorance! When the devil comes up with an accusation of sin, simply tell him, 'Wrong address'. The man that was a sinner died on the Cross, the one that lives now is CHRIST! Glory to God! Being conscious of this is key to living the unfathomable riches of the transcendent Christ-Life! ‪#‎Mirror‬ ‪#‎GreaterGlory‬

The Foundations of Knowledge!

Psalm 11:3, ' If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?' This is one of the most misunderstood verses in scripture. A lot of people use it in their teaching on the need for 'deliverance' from generational issues. They say, 'You might be born-again (righteous) but if you have a 'foundational' problem, then you can do nothing! What an anomaly! They surely have no comprehension of what it means to be a New Creation! What does the above scripture mean? Let me explain this from Psalms 82:5, 'They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.' Their not knowing is the reason why the foundations are out of course! That's why things go awkward! The Righteous will suffer for as long as he doesn't KNOW; not because there is a powerful devil outside! So get to know who you are! You have a New foundation in Christ and God is building you up a spiritual house for his Glory 1 Peter 2:4-5! ‎#Mirror ‎#GreaterGlory
