Hebrews 11:15 (NKJV)
And truly if they had called to mind that [country] from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a most sobering thought, being given the opportunity to return to the land of bondage…
Meaning, that if one wants to return, the opportunity will be given that one, a most sobering thought indeed…
But what is meant by this opportunity to return?
Being given the opportunity to return to one’s sin? Yes, but that is the plant and not the root, for the first motion of not denying of self, is the first motion back into bondage, for faith in God is the freedom giver from the bondage of one’s will to sin..
For the salvation offered in Christ is the most awesome offer ever there possibly could be…. A freedom from all sin and into the freedom the Divine nature brings to life in those that have been born anew..
Scripture puts forth that unbelief is the cause of one wanting to return, but a unbelief in what? A unbelief in what one’s salvation in Christ consists of, that being, their death in Christ… For the knowing and believing one’s death in Christ makes one to hate Egypt, that is, to hate everything that is of the old creation..
For a returning to Egypt is a failure to believe God, a returning to Egypt is a returning of putting one’s eyes back on themselves, or more pointed, a turning back to one’s very own will that will choose to sin… For this is the cause of all unbelief, a failure to deny one’s own will, for a choosing to believe God is the only thing God requires out of man to further the growing of Christ in one…
Be blessed all in not choosing to return to the Egypt that is in each one of us..
Be blessed all in the Beloved, Not me
