To Him Be The Glory For Ever!

**** Rom.11:33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! 11:34 "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"{Isaiah 40:13} 11:35 "Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"{Job 41:11} 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

Imagine for a moment if all humans believed the summation of Paul words here in Roman's chapter eleven, what a difference it would make in all our lives? Life on earth is about rights and those constantly trying to take, encroach, upon our rights. Hence, the battle of the flesh against flesh, a sea that cannot clam down churned up by tribulation over human rights.

Rom.13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Isaiah 55:7 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can't rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.

Flesh act like dogs whom lay hold of territory almost instantly defending and attacking whatever they perceived is taking their property. Moreover, this is the problem, it is why flesh cannot know God or please him, why? Because he is the exact opposite, God is a giver, he created all things from love, love is not a taker, nor does it possess things, it gives freely out of love, without jealousy and anger of the flesh. This is why the brothers and sisters in Christ found God's ways so difficult at Paul's writings of Romans.

Psalms 59:14 At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.

Matt.7:6 "Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7:7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

1Cor.13:4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, 13:5 doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 13:6 doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 13:8 Love never fails.

Flesh cannot know God, so his ways cannot be searched out by flesh, nor understood, the more they demanded payment by laws of the flesh for debts the less they would understand God and his ways. The more rights fought for the less God in them. Just what was causing all the bitterness over rights? Well, its what the entire book of Romans is about, and the rest of the Greek writing, after the gospels, the law!

Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Without the power of law in the flesh, nothing could get done according to the flesh sin in the flesh is the power of the law. The power Christ broke in his own flesh for us! If there was to be right of position, how could it be had without demanding others respect by power of laws punishing the flesh? How could the foundation stones be institutionalized, that is, the apostles of Christ without the power of the law holding it together? This was the fundamental question the brothers and sisters were faced with before the restrain (Holy Spirit) was removed and flesh, weeds, took by force the field of God's planting, for his Spirit lead wheat class.

Song of Solomon 8:7 Many waters can't quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned. Friends

Matthew 7:25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Flesh always acts by its nature, it repeats just as a person knows how a dog will act, its not a cat. No one is offended a dog acts like it was created to act. Weeds are flesh and they will always run to laws for weeds to grow, to learn, to educate themselves in rights, laws to protect their rights by force, by imputing evil into others because the flesh has both good and evil in it, and if left to self-govern it will always take rights from others because its nature is selfish.

Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? 17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

Romans 2:5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

But these brothers and sisters were in Christ, he was their law because he was their head, that is, rule giver, their new heart, his. It was his head that controlled all the function of the body, not their rights, not their flesh, but Christ, and he was God's love, expressed in unmerited kindness, who could repay by laws of the flesh unmerited kindness?

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

They must believe in God's love, how hard was that? All most impossible in a world of flesh, how could they survive, without bar and door, that is, the protection Israel had in the law? How could they live without becoming a complete plunder to every passer by?

Acts 8:32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn't open his mouth.

Romans 8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22}

That is the burning question for some two thousand's years later for God's children, nothing of this world could answer that question, nothing in religion could, certainly nothing in mankind could, for it is against the grain of every thing planted by Satan the Devil! It is an answer so profound it has confounded this world from its birth into rebellion against God, it is an answer that strict fear into the hearts of men no matter God's children or the prophets, it is by one thing faith.

Exodus 9:13 Yahweh said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me.

Exodus 9:16 but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth;

Exodus 14:13 Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.

Rom.9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."{Exodus 9:16}
9:18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires. 9:19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?" 9:20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"{Isaiah 29:16; 45:9}
9:21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?

To be accounted a fool for Christ, to be looked at as a complete failure by the world, to give up the rights to life on this earth, to be plundered for the unsearchable riches of Christ that is the endurance set before us, and that is what we must endure to the end in, our faith, not a religion or preaching, it is by walking on water although our flesh wast away, and it rebels in fears, if we refuse to listen to it, if we have faith, God is greater than our hearts, be of good courage brothers in Christ!

Joshua 10:25 Joshua said to them, "Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and of good courage, for Yahweh will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight."

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
