just as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All of the testimony of Christ is confirmed inwardly….

This confirming is not in the human reasonings, but in a place much deeper, in one’s innermost being, in the heart of hearts, the same place that conviction arises when needed, that being in one’s very center of life, the very place that Christ has come to make His abode….

For this confirming in one is the Spirit speaking to one’s heart, this speaking, this confirming is to be the director of one’s affairs…. For it is Christ Himself that one will have to stand before and give an account of one’s doings, not towards salvation, but towards reward, that being the amount of Christ that will be manifested through one for all eternity… So it behooves one to put the all of one’s endeavors to know this inward confirming, for it being the measurement of the reward…

This inward confirming in another place in scripture is called the ‘peace of Christ in the heart’… This confirming of peace is given to man to be the arbiter of one’s behavior… Though how learned or unlearned one might be, it matters not, for scripture says, ‘they were amazed,, but realized they had been with Jesus’….. This being with Christ now, after He has been raised from the dead, and has taken up abode in one, is where the confirming is found, so that in that believer might Christ be seen and tasted…

For only Christ can taste Christ, for scripture says ‘those that are spiritual judge all things’, that being, they taste or taste not Christ in another…

This tasting of Christ is the only way one believer is to judge another, neither more nor less then the amount of Christ tasted in one… If there is a discrepancy, which is persecuting, for scripture says, ‘those that are after the flesh persecute those that are after the Spirit’….. For scripture says, ‘knowledge puffs up, but love edifies’, for in the resignation to God, is the love in the confirming manifested….. For one is His workmanship as well as the other, for knowing He does all things well and will perfect that which concerns all those that are His…

For the manifesting of Christ in one is the goal of all His workings…



May we all be blessed in that working, Notme
