Ephesians 4:4-6
King James Version
4 There is one body,
and one Spirit,
even as ye are called
in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all,
who is above all,
and through all,
and in you all.
The TRUE BORN AGAIN, is not an occasional Christian.
His life, work, and thoughts, are constantly on JESUS.
His mind is constantly on SCRIPTURE.
His heart is perpetually on GOD.
His life is happily glued on SPIRIT.
You won't find him honoring men, when he should be honoring GOD.
He is not a confused person.
His heart is in EXACTLY in the right place, with God.
His reasoning comes from SCRIPTURE alone.
His life is lived, through Scripture.
The WORD of GOD is his ONLY reference.
Ask him anything, and he will search Scripture.
Testing the integrity of your question, versus what GOD says of it.
His thinking belongs to GOD.
His will, his life, his work belongs to GOD.
His home is where JESUS is.
SPIRIT is his only teacher, for EVERYTHING God would want him to know.
SPIRIT lives in him so much, there is no doubt.
Only certainty of the TRUTH of CHRIST in SCRIPTURE.
The WORD is his word.
God's counsel is all he cares about.
Man cannot twist that counsel.
God's counsel holds the pillars of his heart.
For that's where JESUS lives.
That's where SPIRIT lives.
That's where GOD is.
Right in his heart, where God's counsel stands.
Proverbs 19:21
King James Version
21 There are many devices in a man's heart;
nevertheless the counsel of the Lord,
that shall stand.
Mammon can't tempt him.
He knows, where he's going, there's no use for such.
He has no use for what the world dictates to be important.
He is not distracted from the task, of sharing GOD's commandments.
He has nothing to prove to man.
His heart is permanently glued to CHRIST.
He has no use for the world's follies, wiles, and alibis.
No way will he make room for the devil.
Ephesians 4:27
King James Version
27 Neither give place to the devil.
His complete focus is on JESUS alone.
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
He has simplified his life, work, and thinking, to the bare minimum.
Only because GOD lives in his home.
He wants God to have charge of everything.
He cannot dishonor God, with things of the world.
Ambition, greed, vanity, lust, and wickedness don't interest him at all.
His creed is holiness.
His path is perfection.
He follows the path paved by the LORD JESUS.
His ears tuned to every command.
His eyes watch for every sign.
His heart leaps at the sound of the LORD's voice.
His days are filled with delight, at SPIRIT's teachings.
Can you live such a life?
A life so rich, and yet so spare.
All you have is the BIBLE.
I have, for over two years now.
It's the only way to be.
To be authentic, in the eyes of GOD.
To truly love Him, and adore Him.
To truly believe in the LORD JESUS.
And commit your life to Him.
To have no excuses, but only opportunities, to know more about God.
To understand Scripture, and to share it.
To be acceptable in the eyes of God.
As one who has been given much, and nothing was wasted.
As one who only cares to serve the Lord.
As one who cares what happens to others.
As one who now sees clearly, and is grateful for the LOVE.
As one who has no pride, only gratitude.
As one who waits for the LORD's return, when GOD says, "It's time!"
As one who'd be ready, by then.
