The glorious Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ severed, and severs us from our identification with the earth, from our identification with the first man who was of the earth, earthy; having grafted us into Our Heavenly Father’s Family Tree, forever! And what is this, “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named… [*Ephesians 3: 14, 15 (KJV)]”?? Yet, as we prefer and continue to observe lying vanities, attempting to live “our lives” in a way that emphasizes our application of vain and outward principles to serve our own, ulterior motives, hidden agendas, personal interests and political causes… we will continue to forsake our own mercy!
As a person believes in their heart… so are they. Heart-belief is perception. We are in perfect liberty, freedom… or else, terrible bondage to fear, paranoia, superstition and a myriad of phobias… based upon simple, “heart-belief”. Do we believe the Truth, or do we trust in lies? So-called, human “education,” “intelligence” and/or “brilliance” cannot change this; in fact, most of the time, it only makes matters much, much worse… causing us to become too smart, arrogant, pompous, conceited, puffed up for our own, and others’ good.
We continue to believe lies about our loving, Heavenly Father, ourselves, and one another, remaining ignorant of the mystery of the Cross of Jesus Christ; and foolishly thinking that our country, government, politicians and the vain laws that they pass can actually change things to our individualized liking and preferences, while our main interests revolve around our endless pursuit of the lusts of our body, the covetousness of our eyes, and the pride of our amassing both money and material possessions. The Light… of The Pure Gospel of The Lamb & His Finished Work transforms all of this mess, this nonsense!
If we don’t… or won’t… see that Light; then, all we are left with is our identification with the earth, the former earthy man, our former old man (and false self) that Jesus crucified, put to death, and buried. We’ll live in complete denial of The Redemptive Reality which Jesus Christ, Himself, brought forth through His resurrection. And what is this,
“And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs… [*Revelation 14: 17-20 (KJV)]”??
