The Most Important Question in The World?

Seeking God! Each person on this earth has a choice to seek God, or not to seek him? But let us not be fooled there is a middle ground, in seeking, between the light and darkness where one can compromised in two worlds, wanting both, but losing their soul in both worlds, having neither!

Matt.5:37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

The division causing stumbling for many, allowing themselves to be swept into false religion unwittingly or wittingly is a powerful force found in a fundamental question we must all ask ourselves, and what is that question?

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Are you a sinner? Yes, or no? That is the first step, and not too hard of a step if we have made mistakes in our lives in hurting others. But here we fine only part of that same question which many simply cannot get alluding them? Here is the second part to being a sinner by the apostle John's statements below:

1 John 3:6 Whoever remains in him doesn't sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows him.

What a shocking statement, a catch twenty two! We can't know God if we are a sinner? But if we say we are not a sinner it makes us a liar?

1 John 3:9 Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God.

What does it mean to be a Christian? The bible truth of being a Christian means to be “in Christ!” So here comes the second part of the question that alludes false religion, which is? If we are in Christ are we a sinner? Now God's words the bibles says if we are “in Christ” we are not a sinner. Its that simple! There can be no debate - period! However, the confusion is found because a person cannot have it both ways, that is, the bible tells us we are sinners, and if we say we are not a sinner we lie! And than it says we are not a sinner which is really confusing, correct?

2 Corinthians 11:31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forevermore, knows that I don't lie.

Colossians 3:9 Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,

So many Christian's just ignore this question or thought of being “in Christ” as not a sinner using it as a slogan, in their not having sin in Christ as a metaphor, a parable, if you will? But actually it is the most powerful of all thoughts found in God's word the bible, and without our correct understanding of this biblical dichotomy one can never find the truth.

1 John 2:21 I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

The Stone of Rejection

The Jews educated and inculcated in God's righteous law for thousand's of years could not get being sinless in Christ, and yet the very system that God gave them, in temple service, priest, kings, and prophet testified to one of the most important truth of being found sinless to obtain to life and to know God.

Romans 9:33 even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed."{Isaiah 8:14; 28:16}

1 Peter 2:7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"{Psalm 118:22}

The Jews rejected Christ because they judged him by flesh, that is, by laws created from God to judge sin in our flesh. In other words, the law of God was created to punish the wicked, but Christ was not wicked, he did not have sin in him, or was he evil breaking God's law.

1Tim.1:7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm. 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully, 1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

Thus, when Christ could not be understood by teachers of the flesh, they judged Christ wrongly and had him killed by laws God had created for the wicked. Laws are good which correct and punish wicked acts, but they have no power over sinless people, or the Son of God. Today many boast in loving Christ. In fact, every person that claims to be Christian's claims they love Christ. Unfortunately, the confession of loving Christ or for that matter anyone is not proof a person actually is in Christ, or that he accepts them or that he loves them.

Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"} 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

This is not a new concept with Christian's, the Jews, God's chosen people out of all the people on earth boldly claimed they loved God, but few actually did love God according to God's judgment of them. Moreover, by their own actions God did not love them, Christ often stated to God's people God was not their Father?

John 14:23 Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

John 8:42 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.

Why did they stumble in not accepting Christ? Moreover, why do many Christian's stumble in not accepting Christ going half way down the narrow road leading into life? It is from a simple mistaken understanding of how one can be a sinner, and yet not a sinner in Christ Jesus? It is by a person accepting Christ by words only. Hence, using God's word found in their bible as a label “Christian”, but not being “in Christ!” the truth!

Matthew 15:8 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Pride of Flesh Rejection of Christ

Jeremiah 23:32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says Yahweh, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I didn't send them, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, says Yahweh.

Adam and Eve rejected God the Spirit person, for their own flesh, they believed life could be had out of their flesh without God the Spirit, thinking they did not need the Spirit of God. Now we know Eve was deceived and Adam not, but nonetheless, Adam made a choice to reject God! When we reject God it is pride of our own flesh no matter how sweet, noble, righteous, laced with scriptures our reasoning maybe? We are pridefully rejecting God for the thoughts of our fleshly mind. Now in the flesh as Adam and Eve found themselves after sinning; Adam was no longer “In God, YHWH, both him an his wife found themselves “in death” that is, in the fallen flesh, being feed death by their own fleshly minds which is “in death”. We nor them can come out of being in death by works of men, any man's works! Man in this case, means anything man processes from religion, government, or commerce, the entire world he has built cannot deliver a person out of death. Subsequently, the thing causing death, sin, man cannot deliver himself from sin - either.

Jer.17:5 Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh. 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. 17:7 Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is. 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Everything, in this world built by mankind, is from pride of the flesh separated from God. It was built in death alienated from God's Holy Spirit, no matter how beautiful, wonderful, and righteous it is, it was built from man's hands found “in sin and death” making it temporary, and not of the everlasting incorruptible Spirit of God. Which mind of God created life, and the mind of men under sin created death.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.

Confused by Good!

Pride of our flesh is garnered by the good we do in the flesh. We have in God's words, two standards of good. 1.) is God's good, and 2.) mankind good in death and sin. God's standard of good is not the same as mankind standard of good found in death from the pride of the fallen flesh.

James 1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

This truth offends the flesh, and does so outrightly causing it jealousy and anger towards the messenger God used in delivering it! Where there are works of the flesh found in jealousy, and anger God is not found, but darkness causing confusion for those walking in the mind of the flesh. In this condition of darkness causing confusion last long enough it will become a standard of the pride of the flesh, calling darkness, light, good, evil, and evil good. It is the spirit of error God will let us go into us because we refused to hear the truth.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

Romans 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Adam past on too us sin, but not just sin, he also passed on too us the pride of his flesh being independent of God, that is, taking, which all flesh takes, this does not mean the flesh cannot do a good work in giving, it means the pride of the flesh is not of God nor can it be made sinless, as one must be to be a Christian's “in Christ”, the life. Taking is the pride of the flesh as a god putting its needs first taking what ever it can from God or other humans to protect this life.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Mankind's standard of good is. Although, we are sinners doing evil to one another we are also do much good in our world, a true statements. God's standard of truth is this: “Sin in death, those with sin are in death and do no the good God require for his world of life having no death or sin. In fact, He is opposed to sin, and death its is an enemy that He will destroy out of the new heavens and earth He is creating.”

2 Peter 3:13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

Hence, when man introduces his standard of good into God's word his bible it is false religion created from the pride of the flesh into death, and nothing more. This process, which many Christian's fail to comprehend is called yeast, causing corruption to the truth, which has no yeast, that is, from sin and its reasoning of the pride of the fleshly mind alienated from God mind the Spirit.

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. 3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

We as Christian's must be humble in the flesh, like Adam and Eve should have been. This being humble in the flesh, means one accepts the Spirit which is life, not some Spirit, and some fleshly spirit. This then, is the demarcation of why some go half way down the narrow road instead of completely down the road of life accepting the complete truth, which is, the life of Christ by Holy Spirit.

James 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."{Proverbs 3:34} 4:7 Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

The Mystery of False Religion

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

Revelation 17:7 The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

The great mystery that goes to the end of our world is simply a mixture of fleshly reasoning from yeast, that is, sin in death, mixing it into the words of life Christ Jesus. The pride of our flesh refused to believe our good works done in the name of Christ are not enough to give us life.

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.

1 Corinthians 4:7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

Halfway down the road of life is to accept Christ, and build our eternal life upon the pride of our flesh thinking we can be sinless by good works.

Ephesians 2:9 not of works, that no one would boast.

In other words, we are a sinner, we cannot lie about that, but the good works I do from the bible standards makes me acceptable to God and Christ, this is the lie, the first lie and is false religion in it fundamental purist form.

James 2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.

Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me,{TR and NU read "Go away" instead of "Get behind me"} Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"{Deuteronomy 6:13}

The Question Not Answered?

We must, to find life, answer the simplest of all question in our bibles? How can we be a sinner, and not a sinner in Christ Jesus? We are either a sinner or we are not a sinner? but we cannot be both at the same time, we cannot be both, or we are in false religion, we are than half way down the narrow road into life, or we are in darkness thinking we have found the light.

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

We are born into sin, we cannot work our way out of not being born. If we live we die, if we are born a sinner we die a sinner, there is not a self-help religion that can hand you a ladder of good works that will remove sin from you because it can't it is part of you. This is the first baby step into getting an answer from God. If we refuse this first step we cannot get the correct answer, which is powerful!

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.

We must acknowledge there is nothing on this earth we can learn, buy, or obtain too that will make us not a sinner. We are helpless, we cannot by our effort be non-sinner, which is dead to God. This simple step is humility we must maintain all the life in our flesh upon this earth.

Rom.7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good. 7:19 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.

Now we must have a profound miracle, not human, not a word from our bibles, but from the person of God, YHWH, from His Spirit of life. Which comes too us by blood of the Son of God, Christ Jesus making us sinless, not some sinless, some of the time, but once for all time when we reject the pride of our flesh, and accept the love of God, in a free gift of undeserved kindness.

Titus.3:3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 3:4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared, 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

We will always be a sinner in our flesh until we die, but because of Christ righteous life, our sins, and/or flesh is dead in God's eyes. He does not account our flesh as alive and sinning. He says: “ I have killed it with my Son's life!” Mankind cannot kill his own flesh, God must, if man kills his flesh he dies in his sins.

Ephesians 2:5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).

Romans 6:11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Now all righteousness, and sinlessness comes from above, from God, God glorifies His own name in this. Not ours or our works, are feelings from our flesh, our loves, and hates did not make us sinless. YHWH made us sinless, we cannot boast in our flesh every again, because it is dead to God, as a gift of life too us. if we want to be sinless, we must stay in this gift, Christ Jesus our life, which is God's standards of good, and life.

Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

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 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

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.

Being In Christ

Being in Christ is not name game, it is truth, and its real, we are then filled with the righteous life of Christ Jesus freeing us from death through sin. Our being “In Christ Jesus” means we are new, a new creation made into one body as a members of Christ. Where his life force is our life force, we cannot be part pride of our flesh, and in Christ at the same time, or we are teaching and living a lie!

1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

To not be in Christ makes us a sinner, hopeless, with no atonement for our sins. We cannot birth ourselves out of sin. We must be birth from God's Spirit into the spirit Son of God Christ Jesus as part of him, giving us a sinless life upon earth in our spirit. Pride of the flesh is to accept all of this as truth, in word only, not indwelt with Christ and continue in declaring our works as merit to gain us life with God.

Romans 9:11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,

This is than a mixture of opposing forces, one is life, the other is death, the two do not make into pure worship, or life sustaining waters, which are unpolluted by sin of our flesh, only Christ life can give us that.

Genesis 2:9 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Do The Works of God

The world is full of works done in God's name, but are they created from God's Spirit, or man's spirit of flesh using God's name, and/or word from the bible to justify them as done by God?

Matt.7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

What are the works of God? Are they works from Adam after he sinned? No! Adam was put out of God's works, upon sinning, he could not do God's works because God's works are sinless, they are his standard of good, not man's! Once again a basic truth are we a sinner or not? Can we be a sinner in Christ, and do God's works let alone know him, and if we do not know him how can we do God's works?

John 15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 15:6 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

There is one source of life for human and spirit sons alike, there are not billions of source of life, only one! We must be connected to that life source without sin to do the works of that life source.

1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."{Genesis 2:7} The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Once again this is not a self-help program done by false religion, the life of God must do the works of God. Mankind can boast they did good, and label it with God name, or Christ name, but were those works done by God? Let find out? For if we boast in the pride of our flesh as doing God's works, by our own originality, that is, from the works of our own will, our flesh, we have added to God's word, or taken from God's word. Thus, we will receive what from our own works? Life or death, blessings or plagues?

Revelation 22:19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

God's Standards of Life

What is God's standard of life without death, sin, or no sin? What fruit does a sinless person produce, life or death? There is no need for confusion here, there is a need of humility knowing simply we cannot save ourselves, why would we think our works are eternal life Adam lost or are personal works can save a person from sin?

Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" He who hears, let him say, "Come!" He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

1 John 3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

1 John 3:6 Whoever remains in him doesn't sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows him.

1 John 3:9 Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God.

Christ Jesus is the works of God, not us! Christ is our tree of life, we cannot get around this truth unless we are promoting ourselves as doing works of God for some merit in gaining something for ourselves in worship of men, or glory, position, fame, and/or wealth. One cannot boast in their flesh dead in Christ without sinning in do works of God, it is impossible for God to lie, or live a lie, bring from life for corruption of sin of our flesh dead in Christ!

1 Corinthians 8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

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.

Jesus the living word of God, the one indwelt with God's own life, the light to this world made his truth profoundly clear to those humble in spirit, not it the pride of their fleshly mind; that a good tree (himself Christ) could not bear evil fruit (death from sin). And a corrupt tree, (born into sin, us) could not produce good fruit (without sin) impossible to do!

Matt.7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

Thus, the lie for mankind is believing there is something in between this two trees that God accepts as life. All that is in between, is the lie of Satan, and the world full of false religion by people doing good works calling them God's works!

Matt.7:22 Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'

The out come will be shocking! It will shake each person kingdom built upon their good works boasting in them as done in the name of Christ to the ground, back to the dust from which it came, and where every sinful person must return. There will not be the glorious hoped for a pat on the back from Christ as if we have done him a favor, some good for him, but rather we will find a shocking statement from the Son of Man?

Matt.7:23 Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

“ I didn't know you, you workers of lawlessness!” Those who have suffered in trying to make themselves a non sinner by their good works, calling their works God's works, and/or Christ works, will be left humiliated, deceived in their good feeling they have imputed too Christ name. They will find confusion and fears: “How could this be? I love you Lord look at all I have done for you my entire life!”

Revelation 18:10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.'

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

“ Christ you are a wicked man! I thought you love, I gave too you my good works and you have rejected me.”

No! It was a choice we ourselves made calling our evil is good, not just for ourselves, but God, thinking our feeling of our fleshly thoughts as God's incorruptible mind, so we could gain favors, and life from God. We have barter with God like he was an unrighteous man that could be obligated to our fleshly pride that we have boasted in by our teaching others the same lie!

Matthew 25:24 "He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

Luke 19:22 "He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn't lay down, and reaping that which I didn't sow.

Salvation Not A Label

Death will come to all of us sooner or later, don't be fooled by the folly of those making deals with God, by bartering their good works thinking it buys them a seat in God's paradise.

Luke 14:10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

The issues is not about us! It is about God, and his name being corrupted and polluted by mankind and false religion. Salvation is not a joke, a game we can play with God like the mind of a sinful human, it is real, and we must play by the rule of life to gain life.

Zechariah 5:4 I will cause it to go out," says Yahweh of Armies, "and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones."

Ezekiel 43:7 He said to me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings [in] their high places;

Ezekiel 36:23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Yahweh, says the Lord Yahweh, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

Adam played by his own rules and found it was not a joke! His life ended in pain and death, he struck no deal with God, he could not boast in his good works, his religion or his feeling that God would give him life by his own fleshly thinking. None of his hates, jealousy, or loves bought him into salvation from sin and death.

Isaiah 26:14 The dead shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.

Faith is not a feeling given to whim upon daily emotions, it is, a truth guarantee by God's word not ours! It is unchangeable, immutable and incorruptible promises guarantee by God's own mouth. If we accept Jesus Christ, as our complete salvation doing the works of his body by Holy Spirit, giving up our will, our fleshly thinking letting God teach us by Holy Spirit we have life. The only way to do that is by faith, faith is resting in Christ works, not our works. Resting in Christ life, a righteous sinless life given us freely by no good works we have done for hims. We are the reception of his works, his goodness, we are but vessel filled with him for God's glory.

Isaiah 28:12 to whom he said, "This is the resting place. Give rest to weary;" and "This is the refreshing;" yet they would not hear.

Jeremiah 50:6 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.

Isaiah 30:15 For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused,

The most important question we will every ask ourselves is? How can we not be a sinner, if the standard of God for life is not our being a sinner? This truth if we love truth, will keep us in life, the Christ, and on the road too life.

Heb.4:4 For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, "God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"{Genesis 2:2} 4:5 and in this place again, "They will not enter into my rest."{Psalm 95:11} 4:6 Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,
4:7 he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts."{Psalm 95:7-8}
4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day. 4:9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 4:10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
