Perfecting Discipleship.
We are always to be in this work as this is our spiritual job.
There is this verse.
"work out your salvation"..
Notice reader....>>"YOUR" Salvation?
Why does the verse say Your, and not just "salvation"?
Its because you have it. Its Yours. God gave it to you as "the gift of Salvation".
Now what do you do with it?
You "work it out".... and that means to learn how to exist within it, correctly.
Look at this verse...>"Translated FROM......darkness ...TO Light".
See that ?
That is what happens when you leave unbelief and enter SALVATiON.
Salvation, is to become "ONE with GOD">....and that is the "LIGHT"....
""Jesus is the LIGHT of the world.""
The born again are "Children of the Light"
See all that? That is a Spiritual Kingdom, and all the born again exist there, Spiritually, as born again, INTO the Kingdom of God.
Now, you must learn to think correctly regarding existing there..
This is to "renew your mind", which is to "work out your salvation".
We are always to be in this work as this is our spiritual job.
1. Keep your mind on Christ. Learn to praise God. And study Paul's epistles.
Start your morning prayers something like this........and do this every day.
"Good morning Father, Good morning Jesus, Good morning Holy Spirit, you are welcome here".
Start like that, and remember, .. prayer is just talking to Daddy. God is your Father.
Reader.....Paul the gentile apostle told you something very important in every verse He ever wrote, and one that is most important is..>"come boldly to the throne of Grace and find HELP"...and that means to understand that God is always happy to hear from you.
He is never angry with you. He is only wanting one main thing from you....Reader.
God just wants you to love Him back. Just love Him Back, and that is PRAYER and PRAISE when it is ALIVE and REAL.- "living for the Lord' is just showing Him your love as your life.
Also, God is pleased by our faith, much much much more than by our trying to be good.
'"without FAITH it is impossible to please God."".
Faith is developed by bible study, by praise, and by keeping expectations in your heart regarding God's resolutions = as your faith, vs...asking Him to answer the same prayer, 234 times.
Trust me, He knew what you were going to ask for, everytime you do, before you were born.
No need to keep asking... Just ask BELIEVING, and then give it to Him, step away, and stay in expectation of the solution, as that is real faith.
The prayer of Faith is perfected expectation... Its the knowing that God is going to solve the problem, based on believing in God's Goodness all the time.- Saint, its God's own will that He answer your prayers.
No begging required. Just BELIEVE. And the thing to realize that can help your faith, is that God does not answer your prayers because you are good.....He answers them because God is LOVE. - Have faith in that Truth.

2.) Live each day knowing you are going to eventually meet Jesus, and Jesus is going to ask you....>"What have you done in my Body". What did you do for me, after you were saved, and from that day till NOW. ?????
See that?
That is your discipleship being examined by Jesus THE Christ.
Discipleship....is what you do for God and Christ, not to be saved, not to stay saved.... but because you are saved.
3.) Find a good New Testament Teacher.
What does "good" mean?
It means to understand who isn't.
See, it like this..
The only real NT Teacher is a servant of Jesus and a disciple of Paul.
Paul said.>"be a follower of ME, as i follow Christ".
He is the "apostle to the gentiles". He wrote most of the NT. We are currently in the "time of the Gentiles".
You want revelation, you go to Paul's epistles and the Holy Spirit will meet you there as you "study to show yourself approved".
You want your NT doctrine straight, you go to Paul.
Do You want this and it not take a long time to get it? Then you find a good NT Teacher.
If you find a bad one, and they lead you into the ever deepening waters of self deception, then it can be very difficult for even a experienced teacher to get you back into the Light.
See, once you realize you are in a deceived mess, then have to leave your church, and stay away from all that, to even begin to find your way back to the Light, after newly being led there by a good teacher.
That's difficult, as people are extremely devoted to their denomination most of the time.
Reader, did you ever realize that there are no denominations in Heaven?
So, find a good Teacher, and get your Pauline Theology together, and then the heretics can't ruin your faith on a Forum, or from a Pulpit, which can literally ruin your life if they deceive you.
Real Teachers, give The Cross and Christ on it all the Credit for saving you and keeping you saved.
Listen for this....and when you are hearing....."do this, do that", keep this, keep that law, keep those commandments, ... God only saves some...""" you are not listening to a person who is God called to Teach, Preach, Evangelize, Pastor, or be a Missionary.
God does not call Cross Rejectors into His service.
