Amen Amadeus. God is love. If we would only receive the gifts of God with meekness...not being opinionated...not backbiting, accusing, quarrelsome...as we know the flesh loves to do...THEN we would be given the kingdom as an inheritance. It is the Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. In the meantime we should try to run to win...to win the kingdom! To win Christ!
Too many it seems believe because they have something that they have it all. At the same time so many would deny the possibility that a man may become sinless or that a man may overcome, as Jesus did, before that man runs out of time. Who can do those things? None of us without His help, which is offered to us freely.
If we cannot see it clearly, are we not still able to ask for any necessary help? Should we stop asking, seeking and knocking because we are apparently already perfect as our Father is perfect? Who is already so perfect? No, let's not answer that question... but let us continue to strive and to surrender. How high may we go? God knows!
To those who don't understand the race, they will think seeking God is pointless and even ridiculous, as these have accepted a scheme that makes religious beliefs trump reality.
Is the final answer, "I am saved"? Why does a baby grow? Why did Jesus grow?

Isa 55:9 | For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. |
Lu 14:10 | But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. |
Lu 14:11 | For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. |
