By (the teaching of) grace those of faith understand that God (the Father) needs to create Christ in His children through His work upon them because this is God’s GIFT to His children, so that they would not “boast” (that they did anything) because we are saved by grace (God at work) through the faith that believes in this gift of God (Eph 2:10-8).Only perverted believers remove grace (this work of God) from their gospel, and because of THIS (removal) God says they are cursed (Gal 1:6-9) because they are into pleasing people, rather than (learning how to) serve Christ (Gal 1:10). It is these so-called believers who share the false gospel which tells people that “they alone” can bring Christ into their heart which IS against the scriptures (Rom 10:6-7).This is why only the truth makes us free providing we know it by continuing in His word learning, as disciples (Jn 8:32-31). Without this instruction (of grace in all of its teaching) we cannot have the understanding to speak these things, therefore all we can do is serve sin (within error) (Jn 8:34), because we are without the knowledge of God’s divine power which can give us all the things needed to live godly in this life, so that we can partake of the divine nature AFTER we have escaped the corruption in the world through lusts (2 Pet 1:3-4).This is why we need God given diligence through the Spirit, to ADD to our faith:a) Knowledge (of the power of God at work) so that we can have

Temperance (to live a moderated lifestyle unto being given c) Patience (to wait upon God to give us) d) Sincere love towards the brethren (2Pet 1:5-7).HAVE YOU BEEN GIVEN THE PATIENCE TO WAIT FOR THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS BECAUSE YOU HAVE THIS HOPE THROUGH FAITH? (Gal 5:5). If so, then you have been given the faith that works by love (5:6) If not, WHAT is hindering you from obeying this truth (5:7) so that you can be given the liberty to sincerely love others as yourself, rather than using any occasion for (the desires of) your flesh? (Gal 5:13-14).Those who ARE Christ’s have already crucified the lusts of their flesh (Gal 5:24).NOTE- Just in case you are ignorant of the works of the flesh, read and meditate upon these things: (Gal 5:19-21)1. Adultery (looking at anyone including your spouse with lust) 2. Uncleanness (living in lusts, and impure motives) 3. Unbridled Lust (in excess without shame) 4. Idolatry (the worshipping of false gods, ie people, career, money, possessions)5. Witchcraft (the deceptions and seductions of idolatry)6. Hatred (because of a carnal mind, which is against the things of God)7. Contention (striving with people)8. Envy (jealousy caused by indignation)9. Wrath (uncontrolled anger)10. Dissension (caused by divisive attitude)11. Heresy (our opinions, rather than sound doctrine)12. Murder (from hatred and wrath)13. Drunkenness (drink to get intoxicated)14. Rioting (indulges in serious partying, and drinking all night)15. Inordinate affection (comes from lust)16. Evil (self-motivated deeds)17. Lust (craving and desires for what is forbidden/against God)18. Covetous (greedy desires to have more)19. Slander (backbiting against people)20. Lies (deceiving deliberately)THOSE WHO PRACTICE ANY OF THESE THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, (Gal 5:19-21, Col 3:5-9) AND THE WRATH OF GOD IS UPON THESE SO-CALLED BELIEVERS BECAUSE OF THIS DISOBEDIENCE (Col 3:6).This is why it is said, that those who ARE Christ’s have already crucified the lusts of their flesh (Gal 5:24). Believers who are WITHOUT ALL THIS FRUITFUL KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, are BLIND (unrepentant) and cannot see (to understand) their NEED to be purged/crucified from their old sins (2Pet 1:8-9). Have you obtained this precious faith through the righteousness of God? (2Pet 1:1) If so, then God is revealing to you that you need to come from (your) faith to (Christ’s) faith so that you can live just by His faith (Rom 1:17 with Gal 2:20), Without which you are ignorant, and unfruitful, because you have not received grace so that you would have obedience to the faith for His namesake (Rom 1:13, 1:5).By the will of God He sends a minister unto us to impart the spiritual gift (of grace in all of its teaching) so that we can be established, and comforted in the mutual faith (Rom 1:11-12). WE CANNOT HAVE OBEDIENCE TO THE GOSPEL WITHOUT A GOD SENT PREACHER TO TEACH US THESE GOOD THINGS, SO THAT WE CAN BELIEVE (Rom 10:16-14). Are you following after THIS righteousness of faith? (Rom 9:30) If not, you have established “your own righteousness” in ignorance, because you have not submitted yourself to the righteousness which is of God. Furthermore you might even have a “zeal” for God, but it’s NOT according to knowledge (Rom 10:3-2).Faith comes by hearing the whole word of God, not just the gospel (Rom 10:17). Those who are of God can hear these words of God (Jn 8:47), WITHOUT HEARING WE ARE IN LUSTS, AND IN “OUR OWN WILL BE DONE” BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ABIDING IN THIS TRUTH (Jn 8:44). The truth reveals the grace of God at work (Col 1:6, Eph 2:10-8) which those that have sincere love can rejoice in, rather than some other iniquity (of what they can do) (1Cor 13:6).
