if that is true, then why not Quote it
I gave a point blank inclusive statement.
Scripture gives the knowledge in numerous verses of Who, When, How, Why, inclusion in Salvation applies to, according to Gods Order & Way...
And thus requires a man to seek the knowledge Beyond the visible Body.
Secularly men See, speak, are highly concerned with Bodily Death.
(Men fear bodily death, are saddened by bodily death, will seek, follow, try, any man-made devise, (good or bad means), and spend their last penny in hopes to avoid bodily death.)
For example: Observe the works of power-sitting men today.
Within a very short span of time (of months); The whole world has become in Fear of Bodily Death, of a proposed THING; not one man can:
See, Hear, Touch, Smell, Taste! A crafty phenomenon!
And further; A crafty “solution”, that has been mandated, required, forced, devastating for accepting, and punished for rejecting, without accountability consequences to the “enforcers”.
Spiritually God addresses the WHOLE of a man;
the visible body, the invisible soul, the invisible spirit; of man.
* The Life of a mans Body, is his BLOOD.
* The Life of a mans soul, is Gods BREATH.
* The Life of a mans spirit, is Gods SEED.
* God Requires the Bodily Death of all men.
Gen 9:
[
5] And surely
your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I
require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will
I require the life of man.
* God OFFERS man opportunity for Salvation of his soul.
(It’s a mysterious thing. Gods Breath (soul) in a man is accounted as the mans, his soul, in his body, attached to the identity (name) of that man...YET...ALL souls belong to God.
Ezek 18:
[
4] Behold,
all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
* A mans BODY is physical, A mans SOUL, is spiritual.
Men can KILL a body, However a mans SOUL’S
destiny is controlled BY God.
* ALL souls WITHIN a BODY, are controlled by that BODY. A BODY’s LIFE (thoughts of Heart, thoughts of the Mind), gains Knowledge, cipher’s the Knowledge, picks and chooses and decides the Body’s BELIEFS, which BY Default Affects the soul WITHIN the Body.
* A BODY, which chooses TO Reject the Lord God, ultimately by default, is ALSO choosing for his soul WITHIN him, to Reject the Lord God.
* The Body rejection...is separation from God.
* The Soul rejection....is separation from God.
* ANY part of man (body, soul, spirit of man) that Rejects God, IS Separated from God....IS a spiritual DEATH.
*
That is MYSTERIOUS, BECAUSE Visibly ALIVE men, CAN BE
body, soul, spirit...Spiritually DEAD/separated FROM God.
*
Gods Offering to ALL men, IS an Order and Way, for ALL men,
Spiritually DEAD, to become MADE; body, soul, spirit, Spiritually ALIVE,
ONCE and FOR EVER, by, through, of: The POWER of God.
* The ONCE and FOR EVER (order and way) is revealed in Scripture, FOR EVERY LIVING man, to hear, learn, Accept (and BE GUARANTEED to For EVER be with the Lord God),
THAT guarantee, Effected By, Through, Of, the POWER of God (ie Called the Holy Spirit of God, whose Title is THE CHRIST, entering, dwelling with IN, and KEEPING that man, WITH the Lord God For Ever.)
* The TRUST of that individual BEING:
1 John 4:
[
4] Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because
greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
KEY word...IN you.
Bottom line...
A man makes choices for his own LIFE (Body, Blood).
His BODY must Die (God Requires it.)
Bodily DEAD men, know nothing, can not think, choose anything.
A BODY
can NOT BE made anew, A SOUL of man can not be Restored (Pss 23:3) (saved), A spirit of man can not be born again (made anew with ever lasting Life, via Gods SEED)...
UNTIL a ‘Living” man CHOOSES what he DESIRES for his own body/, soul, spirit with IN ‘him”.
1 Cor 15:
[
36] Thou fool, that which thou sowest
is not quickened, except it die:
A NATURAL “seed” must DIE before a LIFE Begins.
A sperm, a tree nut, a grass seed, a fruit seed...DIES before a life springs forth.
Gods Offers man His SEED, which never Dies, For any man to ELECT to TAKE His Offering.
BTW, Gods Offering, (unlike men can and do Force their own will, and offerings)...Gods Offering is NEVER forced. It is always by a mans own freewill to accept Gods Offering.
Decisions of a man MUST be made while he is ALIVE in his Bodily Blood LIFE.
WHEN a mans RECEIVES Gods Offering is AFTER the Bodily DEATH.
* Men WHO Believe, but HAVE NOT Offered their BODY unto DEATH...
SHALL BE SAVED on the DAY of their physical DEATH.
* AND WHILE such a man ^ during his physically bodily Life...BELIEVES...God WILL BE “WITH” that man.
* Men WHO
Believe AND give their BODY unto DEATH...
(As God has offered, by, through, of Jesus’ Bodily Death, that man Submitting to; CRUCIFIXION bodily DEATH, “WITH” Christ Jesus.
HAVE satisfied, their ONE required Bodily Death, and Satisfied Gods Word to RECEIVE their Gift of Salvation THEN...and they effectively called:....Not ONLY WITH God....but GODS Spirit “IN” them...and they “IN” Gods Spirit...ie “IN” Christ...
ARE SAVED.
I gave a concluding statement.
You asked for a one liner Scriptural statement.
I know of none. Rather it is a study of cumulative Scriptures.
Scripturally to know the knowledge of how to arrive at the wisdom of
conclusion of the Difference Between Being WITH God, (which is maintained by the will power of the individual man), AND the Lord God Being
WITH and IN the man (which is maintained by the will Power of the Lord God).
Scripture is full of warnings of the WEAKNESS of men, which absolutely carries over to a man maintaining his belief in God
by his own power., which IS subject to Failure....and the SUPREME STRENGTH of God, maintaining a mans belief in God
by Gods Power WITH and IN the man.
Knowledge is knowing What God promises.
Wisdom is understanding the knowledge of How and When Gods promises are fulfilled.
James 1:
[
5] If any of you lack wisdom, let
him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
[
6] But let
him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For
he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
[
7] For let not
that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Glory to God,
Taken
