Romans 1:17
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Trying to under your terminology of Standing...so let me try and write a bit like you would....
I believe all these words from the heart...although words are only so precise..
here a list that comes from my spirit will into my soulish mind
- Standing with God of Abraham, acceptance of new covenant, grace and gift of God for eternal life
- Belief in Jesus by placing faith in who he is, what he did and what he is doing now
- Accept Jesus the Christ for our salvation, to eternal life, to defeat death.
- Knowing he is inside of me now and in the future until the end of the last age
- Faith is based on facts of scripture and the gospel not in fables and philosophies.
- Belief in all scripture, both NT and OT
- Understanding and reassurance of/in scripture, not from personal or majority opinion or renowned men as traditional thinkers
- Positive and life changing experiences in life from God
- Showing the fruit of the spirit more and more
- Knowing faith is growing in the spirit and son of God inside our being
- Continuously seeking and ask for God’s wisdom and knowledge as Jesus possesses.
- Continuously praying to God for his mind that is in Christ, that is designed for us to know.
- Knowing this spiritual lifestyle with God through the spirit of Christ is for all our lives, every day, hour and minute
- It’s a lifetime commitment to favor and use our spiritual will and mind to convince our soulish mind to know God.
Bless you,

Thank you.
I would say; Speaking specifically OF..
Thee Lord God Almighty...
In the beginning of mankind...we find men being introduced TO...
God....God Almighty.
The TERMS, for one to submit to this God Almighty, was to:
Believe in Him, and agree to Obey His Laws, and agree to DO the Works contained in the Law.
And? At the end of their natural LIFE, "IF" they were a FAITHFUL servant, THEY became accounted as SAVED.
Gods communication with was VIA different methods...visions, hearing a word, an angel, an appearance of a man, effects of His word coming to pass, Etc.
THAT has NOT Changed. Men today can still follow this METHOD that was GIVEN TO the Hebrews and the Jews.
What has CHANGED, Is God revealed HIS WORD, in the likeness as a man, unto men, First specifically TO the Jews, and Gentiles who may have been living among the Jews.
This man, the Word of God, called;
Jesus, Son of God, Messiah, Christ, Lord, Savior, Quickening Spirit, Ever lasting Father, Prince of Peace, mighty God, Power, Light, Redeemer, Holy, Sinless, Teacher, Rabbi, All knowing, Forgiver of Sins, Truth, Life, Way, Born of God, without beginning, without ending, Lord of lords, King of kings, Friend, Comforter, God with us...
....and many other things........
Preaching a revelation that men CAN choose to Believe IN HIM, and subject themselves TO HIM. And the BENEFITS...THE TERMS...HAVE CHANGED....
FOR One choosing to SUBJECT themselves "TO" THE WORD of God, who has come in the Flesh Likeness as a man....
There ARE NO LAWS a man MUST "TRY" to obey.
The CONSEQUENCES for "NOT OBEYING A LAW" have been removed.
There IS NO "WAITING PERIOD" of a mans LIFETIME ending, to receive Salvation.
There IS NO "WAITING PERIOD" of a mans LIFETIME ending, to receive the Seed of God.
There IS NO MORE of a man TRYING on his OWN merits and efforts, to BECOME acceptable and holy unto God.
A man WHO chooses to heartfully SUBMIT Himself "TO" this "Lord Jesus", thee WORD OF GOD...
According to the TERMS....ALL the things the Lord Desires OF this man; IS ACCOMPLISHED BY the INDWELLING Power of God.
According to the TERMS....Such a man, heartfully submitting his own LIFE, to the Word of God, called by the NAME JESUS;
This man FOREVER receives the Lords Gift of Salvation, of a Quickened spirit, of the Lords Keeping, of Sactification, of being made WHOLE and wholly acceptable to the WHOLE of thee ONE Lord God Almighty.
The CONFUSION comes....
WHEN a man, particularly Christians, pay the lip service of claiming they are Submitting their life to the Lord Jesus, but really, really want to Preach and Teach, they are submitting themselves to thee God Almighty; with His rules, His laws, His terms.
Thee God Almighty has His terms and laws specifically given to particular men, Hebrews and Jews.
Thee Lord Jesus has His terms specifically given to Lost Jews and Gentiles.
Any man can CHOOSE to submit to either...
God Almighty or Lord Jesus....and then FOLLOW and ACCEPT the TERMS provided BY each.
Rountinely....NOT the case with MANY self-professed saved and born again Christians.
Stand WITH, God Almighty...and be accomplished IN HIS terms, by your own efforts.
Or
Stand WITH, Lord God Almighty....and be accomplished IN HIS terms, by His power.
God Bless,
