Judgment Upon The Household of God

1 Peter 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don't obey the Good News of God?

Throughout the centuries so many Christian's have waited God's judgment the time when the wicked would be taken away from our earth and Christ Kingdom rule would reign in true peace, freedom, and righteousness would dwell for all in heaven and earth.

Heb.11:38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
11:39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn't receive the promise, 11:40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

However, the apostle Peter states above at 1Peter 4:17 God's judgment would come upon his own household first. Moreover, once that judgment was done those not of God's household would come under the same judgment of God.

Heb.3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
3:2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. 3:3 For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
3:4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

Yet, Peter seem contrary to the books of Roman's which tells us for those in Christ there is no condemnation, and/or judgment of God, they have been freed of God's wrath, so what are we to make of Peter's statement of God's judgment?

Rom.8:1 Then there is no condemnation now for those who are in Christ. (Steven Byington In Living English)

Dead or Alive?

What is dead to God is dead, for he is the God of the living, and not the dead. In other words, death does not hold place in God, it cannot, incorruption cannot rule by corruption, that is, death and life are simply converse to each other. Those making up the house hold of God their flesh is dead (corruption) to and incorruptible God who is life.

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.

Corruption cannot see incorruption and yet live. That which has
been corrupted cannot be made incorruptible. In other words, God did not take man's flesh once sin entered into us human and reform it into what so many believe and practice “ a better flesh”, he did not!

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.

2 Peter 1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

God took away the “judgment” of our flesh by killing our burying it in a grave in Christ and giving us another life (Christ) not our own, but we live on in a tent, a vessel in the flesh. Many Christian's are vastly confused over this subject. Once something that is perfect is broken, the breaking makes it imperfect, it cannot be pieced back together again and be perfect. It has been broke, which takes it perfection away. The object broke must be made new not restored, but new.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

Ephesians 2:15 having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

If one drops a priceless vase it will never be its former condition by piecing it back together again. The judgment of sin was pronounced by God at the conception of sin into Adam and Eve that judgment is final it is death, first a spiritual death by not being able to connect to the source of incorruptible life YHWH, and next into physical death because life on earth in the flesh without contact with incorruptible live cannot be sustain into eternal life. We are dead in our flesh to God, we as the human race can never conqueror death because death must be conqueror by the source of incorruptible life Jehovah God. Our sins separated us from our life source, because we are death, and he is life, we are darkness, and he, God, is light, we are unrighteous, and he is righteous.

Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken."

John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son,{NU reads "God"} who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

God Takes Steps Towards Our Salvation

The judgment God passed onto Adam and Eve because they chose death instead of life was not enough to satisfy God's eternal plan to save the human race. Mankind would not be satisfied with being told Adam and Eve sinned and that is why they must die, and live in pain and suffering until they die as well. God's plan for salvation of the victims of sin the entire human race would be set straight, in all justice for God's name sake, which mean's love, God was slandered by evil, Satan lied and slander his own Father by stating he was not love, but rather God had evil intentions towards his creation that he lied to them out of fear of being unseated by human and angels alike.

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.

The very nature of mankind had been changed by sin, sin had corrupted their thinking so they could not know God without contact with his mind, and that was not possible because he is incorruptible light, and we are death from sin. First and foremost human must understand their condition of sin, how any part of sin is death, and cannot be condone in the small measure or it would produce corruption throughout the entire universe of sinless children of God like it had done on earth.

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

Romans 5:12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

What Is Sin?

The question of what sin is, is echoed throughout every civilization the human race has ever built from the most primitive, to the most advance civilization, it is found in their laws. Mankind is forced to control and protect society by its laws, the laws themselves testify that mankind has sin, or their would be no need of laws. But still the laws of mankind does not reveal the need for sin to be removed from us, nor does it actually teach the truth of why God cannot condone sin at all? Why it is the enemy of life, or how it corrupt everything for those that have sinned.

Romans 2:14 (for when Gentiles who don't have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,

Thus, to set creation free from the enslavement to sin, that is, corruption, God needed to define sin, in us, so we could come to appreciation once God removes it once for all times, we as human would not toy with the idea that sin is harmless in any form or practice.

1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;

God formed a people over hundreds of years from those that loved him and put faith in him. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob from their off spring the nation of Israel was formed by God's righteous laws. It should be no surprise the law defined sin on almost every level of human life for the Israelite. And to no surprise the penalty for sin was death. Some will argue that there were sins under the law that did not bring the death penalty. That statement is true, but it is not whole, some sins could be forgiven, by atonement, but any sin not atone for brought death. Whereas, the nations forgive law breaking by payment of penalty, God forgives debt of sin by atonement freely. The nation of Israel had reinforced upon it what the power of sin was, it was the perfect and righteous law of God and that was done with finality proving all had sinned and fall short of the glory of God. God did not overlook sin, not for a moment, the very creation of mankind had been enslaved by corruption and death through one seed of sin that permeated the whole mass of unleavened bread of God, that is, the food of God that came from his mouth to keep Adam and Eve alive eternally.

1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

Once God's people could see they were in a corrupt state, with no way out the law did its job. The law did not take sin out of the nations, or any individual that thought was an apostasy from God righteousness. The power of the law is sin, it exposed every thought and action of us as coming from a mind corrupted by sin. The law straighten our thinking out, into what? That we need constant forgiveness right down into our very thoughts. We are just as God had told us, permeated with sin we cannot remove by our own actions on this earth.

Rom.7:21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present. 7:22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man,
7:23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. 7:24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

Hebrews 10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

At the precise time God sent us his Son Christ Jesus, he would carry our sins away from God in his own perfect life, like a pass over lamb to die once for all times taking our judgment of sin away in our flesh. The law was completed, the law could not perfect mankind by removing our sins once for all time. The solution had come in the name of Christ Jesus. The power of sin, the law, was removed, it was satisfied in that, the ultimate price it demanded was given us by God's love, the life, of a perfect man, as Adam had once been to balance the scales so all birth by Christ life would be without sin.

Hebrews 9:11 But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation.

Hebrews 7:27 who doesn't need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

Rom.8:33 Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies. 8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Many were to be birthed through Christ righteousness, that is, his life, into son's of God. Yes, Adam was a son of God until sinning, Christ was the next son of God, then those birthed “in Christ Jesus” are son's of God, because they are also sinless because they are in Christ righteousness, his life!

Romans 6:18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

Romans 8:10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Philippians 1:11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

What Judgment Are Son's of God Under?

The law did not judge Christ Jesus that point is easily proven, the law was created for sinners, not the righteous. Lets define righteousness according to God, and his word, the bible? It means without sin. The power of the law was sin. Subsequently, the law had no power over Christ a sinless man sent by God. Judging Christ by the law f or sinner is a crime and a sin. Those judging Christ by the law were impaling him again, and showing contempt for the righteous blood of Christ. Imperfection cannot judge perfection without receiving its own judgment. One cannot measure out evil for good and not get evil back. One cannot measure out sin to Christ without dying in the same judgment.

1Tim.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;

Matt.7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

The creation, and God's purpose for the son's of God tells us why he left them in their flesh upon earth and under the judgment of the flesh. The question is, not if the flesh is sinful, or if its corrupted, nor if it can be reformed those question for any honest person reading their bibles were answered by the law of God. But rather, has our judgment for the sins of the flesh been taken away and cast into the sea once for all times, gone, abolished to be brought up no more? Has God set our judgment of our flesh away, or do we still live under it?

Romans 5:16 The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

Romans 14:10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

1 Corinthians 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self.

Christ could not be charged under the righteous law of God for sin, so did God send him to earth to be judged by his righteous laws? No! Don't be confused here, think, Christ was made into the likeness of sin, that is, into carrying the sins of others, those sins brought him into judgment, not his own. Christ in that condition suffered for the sins of others, he came under a baptism by fire, a refining that perfected his faith. That is the judgment that started with Christ, and is upon the household of God which is under to this day.

Rom.8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

Levitius 16:27 The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried forth outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.

Hebrews 13:9 Don't be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

1Pet.1:18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers, 1:19 but with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ; 1:20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake.

Hebrews 1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

1 Peter 2:24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

1 Peter 3:18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

This teaching of basic Christianity has been obscured completely by false religion. False religion is waiting God's judgment to start upon the flesh of human race living in this world. But that is not the judgment Peter expresses here that judgment was in actions from the start of one being anointed “in Christ”. This judgment is not waiting, it is the baptism by fire, it is the removal of all false hope in our sinful flesh, it is the annihilation of sin by the power of Christ expressed by his mouth in Spirit in every anointed child of God this judgment is as it was for Christ for the sins and flesh or others.

Matthew 20:22 But Jesus answered, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said to him, "We are able."

Luke 3:16 John answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire.

Mal. 3:1 "Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!" says Yahweh of Armies. 3:2 "But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like launderer's soap; 3:3 and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to Yahweh offerings in righteousness.

Mal.4:1 "For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up," says Yahweh of Armies, "that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Many claim to be chosen of God, but without the baptism by fire working in them, they are not in Christ. Those anointed into Christ life, are formed into the likeness of Christ he set the pattern clearly for his household for his body members that would follow. Once purchased by God in Christ those anointed do not belong to anyone accepted God, for his temple service. Not even themselves! They do not direct their own lives, they do not chose what occupation they will do, or if they will be a success at what they do on this earth. They have been created for God's purpose and he has a very strong hand upon each one.

2Cor.1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
1:4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ. 1:6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

James:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."
4:14 Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. 4:15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that." 4:16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil. 4:17 To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.

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.

The Works In It Exposed

Christ is their life they stand righteous before God not upon personal merit or accomplishments; all other things have been won for them, all run, but only one wins the race. Christ won the race for them, they are the body, and it must follow. They need no one to teach them because they don't belong to anyone accept the body of Christ, and he is the teacher of his body, he feeds and cherish it, and allows it to under go the baptism by fire the judgment upon the flesh of human race for the purpose of God, to set creation free from the enslavement of sin which has corrupt every thought of mankind into death.

1 Corinthians 9:24 Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

1Cor.3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 3:22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
3:23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 8:20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 8:21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. 8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
8:24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

This tribulation and judgment has been the longest tribulation on earth upon God's household, there will never be another tribulation upon God's sacred things to occur again once it is done! The flesh, even of those calling themselves Christian's do not know this tribulation and judgment even exist, and for good reason, the flesh is opposed to God and cannot know God or be in subjection to God's righteous laws, it is impossible.

1 John 3:13 Don't be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Hebrews 5:9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation.

1Cor. 4:9 For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men. 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor. 4:11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place. 4:12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
4:13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

False religion continues to judges Christ brothers by the law for sinners that judgment is the same as Christ under went, the self-righteous, that is, not made righteous by Christ life, wrongly and constantly judge Christ brothers as evil, by their flesh. Few if any give them a cup of cold water because they are blinded by their own flesh.

Mark 9:41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.

The works and judgment of God's household are revealed in Christ as being of his will, that is, of his headship or a lie! The son's of the kingdom are not going to be a glowing success in the business world, they are not going to be successful in this world at all, as Christ their membership was not. They will be humiliated, made sick, judged as sinners slander to any good name, just as their head judgment was taken away by this world in Christ own time of humiliation. This is why Christ ask each one of us, can we drink his cup, can we under go this baptism by fire?

Acts 8:33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth."{Isaiah 53:7,8}

Isa.53:3 He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn't respect him. 53:4 Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

They lye of a laundryman, and fire of refining gold will be set upon each member of God's household as God's discipline, for God discipline those that he loves, as did he his own Son Christ Jesus. Any work not of Christ will be burnt as if by fire, have you felt that fire? That discipline is with life in view it is the very salvation for the souls of many that will be set free by the son's of God. Moreover, can any flesh not in Christ be saved? Who could undergo such tribulation without the righteousness of Christ that removed our judgments?

1Cor.3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
3:12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;
3:13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.
3:14 If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. 3:15 If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

None, not one, unless those days are cut short because of God's chosen ones.

God did not charge his Son Christ Jesus with sin although Christ felt our sins as his own from everybody he associated with the question was could Christ keep his faith in such a horrific floods of the wicked; spirit person bent on trying to destroy salvation for others, by turning Christ to use his own means, by something he could do to changes the judgment? Christ is the forerunner for the household of God?

2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

2 Thessalonians 1:5 This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

Philippians 1:29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf.

1 Corinthians 3:15 If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

Why would Christ suffer, why would a good God let him suffer like he was undergoing, having the sins of other wiped off on him like a bloody rage? Christ had eternal life, prior to coming to this earth, he was declared without sin his like Adam, he had God's blessing, he was rich in Spirit and truth the treasures of heaven. Furthermore, those declared righteous by the righteousness of Christ his body have eternal life, they have been declared sinless, righteous as Christ their body is raised into heaven seat with Christ.

Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

For what good reason did Christ allow himself this harsh evil judgment? He did it to save mankind, why do God's anointed under go the same judgment it is to save mankind. What is Satan designs if it not make it about ourselves for God's anointed think only of themselves reminding them they have no glory on this earth, making them the succumb of this earth their things looked down upon making their suffering is for no purpose by seeking justice and glory from men. But if there is a purpose for something as greater in setting creation free a selfless act for others, for the salvation of the entire human race then God's anointed cannot be defeated, for that is the very life of Christ, within them is it not? This is why Christ stated we do greater works than he did on earth, for two thousand's years Christ body has under went this unjust horrific judgment without a the world even knowing it. Such suffering in unparalleled by any standards of justice. But without it, we are not doing the works patterned in the household of God. Yes, there is a blue print, yes there is a foundation, and above all there will come a completion.

Heb.3:12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
3:13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

1 Peter 3:18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

But the glory that will be revealed in the son's of God for God's love is so great, so deep so profound that it will set all creation free from the corruption Satan and wicked spirits has interwoven upon all nations. God has purpose and he cannot lie Christ light and living waters will flow to all mankind through us. Can we arm ourselves with the mental disposition of Christ that his suffering is not from our Father, because we have no judgment from our Father in Christ. Can we see the evil is from wicked spirit force that our wrestling is not against flesh and blood.

Hebrews 2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.

2 Corinthians 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

2 Corinthians 5:16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don't wage war according to the flesh;

2 Corinthians 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds.

Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

That these suffering at present season are carefully guarded and planned for the salvation yet to be revealed in us. Can we endure in faith to the end of this course? Yes, we can, the race is won, death, and sin have been defeated in Christ, we have the Spirit of proof bearing witness in us.

1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

1 John 5:18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn't sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn't touch him.

Rom. 8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 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} 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
