These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. - Acts 17:11.
What is a noble person? A noble person is open to recieve the word of God. Open to see in scripture what it is they have to say about the word. What scripture has to say about the word of God. Don't separate yourself from that - see the word in you. You need to separate the scriptures from the word. Understand the difference!
We can date that back to a short time after the apostles were far gone and men started putting scripture together. You can follow through the history of time how the gospel was lost soon after the apostles were gone. We have looked at that!
So what must I see in scripture? Him. Christ in you the hope of glory! It is him in you that is doing the doing. I'm in Romans 6 now, that tells us how a believer is to live. That is Galatians 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ! What is the translation of that? I can do nothing in my self (old I). It is Christ that lives in me - his life .. not my old life of being somebody. I'm as dead as Christ on the cross. My doing - is Christ now that is the one that does this life business. I can do nothing within myself. Well we know how that goes! I will give it everything I got to prove scripture right, and find out it is not in my doing.. but in the only one in you that was purposed to be the doing one - only life.
