Justification- works- God- man
All have specific applications.
It hinges on WHO benefits and WHO is glorified and WHO justifies.
For Examples:
• A man who is HEARING- the Word of God.
God Justifies that man to receive Measures of Gods Gift of Faith.
• A man who is believing the Word of God.
God justifies giving that man increased Measures of Gods Gift of Faith.
• A man Doubting, Deny The Word of God, STOPS being Justified (by God), to receive Gods Increase of Faith.
• A man who continues Hearing, Believing, resumes God Increase of Gods Gift of Faith.
• A man who Freely chooses to Hear, and has received Measures of Gods Gift of Faith, and thereafter the man Freely Chooses to Reject, and Stop hearing Gods Word...STOPS being justified by God, and STOPS receiving Gods Gift of Faith...AND the man is called having Fallen FROM Faith.
^^^ That man Never continued To arrive at the Point of Being Justified (by God), to Receive Gods Gift OF Salvation.
^ That man...fell from Faith.
^ Men do not...FALL from Salvation.
^ Men LOSE Salvation. -
• The LOSS of Salvation, is a LOSS unto a man, WHO WAS Never Justified BY God TO Receive Gods Gift of Salvation...that was Already Bought and Paid (By Jesus) Wirh Gods "Justification For" Every man TO Receive.
• A man WHO Freely Chooses to NOT Receive His Gift of Salvation, Freely Chooses to Lose the Gift, That WAS provided For that man To agree to Receive.
• A man WHO Chooses to Receive Gods Gift of Salvation, Does so BY: Proclaiming, by his "Hearts thoughts," To the Lord, He Believes: IN God and Gods Word (named Jesus), and that he believes Jesus IS Gods Christ (anointed and Power and Wisdom), Messiah.
^ That man, (having given A TRUE "heartful confession), (rather than a carnally mindful confession)...IS Justified (by God), to RIGHT THEN, Receive Gods Gift of Salvation.
^ That is a permanent Gift, (that restores and Saves a man soul unto God), justified by God Once and Forever.
(A man's repentance preseeds The Gift of Salvation)
• The Justification of God, To Forgive All of a man's Sins AGAINST God (having corrupted his soul, having HAD Disbelief ...Are Forgiven, ONCE and Forever).
• That man is ADDITIONALLY- Justified BY God, to Receive- a circumcised heart, a new Heart, Gods Seed, A RE-birth of his Natural spirit, To a Spiritual spirit...
^ WHICH means- a man's hearts THOUGHTS is a man's TRUE TRUTH (aside of what his Carnal Mind is thinking),
•The Receiving of Gods Seed, rebirths the man's spirit, the man is now, justified to Receive Gods Spiritual Truth, Via Gods Spirit of Truth.
• Having received Gods Gift of Gods Spiritual Truth, Justifies a man to Receive Gods "Spiritual Understanding" of His Spiritual Truth.
• ^ THAT is Gods Offering for a man TO superseded the man's Natural Minds thoughts, (Carnal minds logical guesswork of Scriptural interpretation....TO Gods Supernatural Spiritual Understanding of His Word.
SEE what Transpires (or Not)...Before Even mentioning WORKS?
A man who has Become "Converted"...is FULLY "FaithFULL".... meaning- Gods Spirit has entered within the man.
• The man Has freely chosen FOR GODS internal Power - TO Forever KEEP that man Faith-FULL to The Lord God Almighty Only and...Forever. (Despite a corrupt world, corrupt people and Satan's tricks ...all trying to persuade a man to believe otherwise, Against God. Can't happen. Gods Power is supreme.
• Such a Converted man....IS NOW, justified By God, and Prepared By God....TO DO WORKS.....THAT....GLORIFY God.
A man going to his Job- is rewarded with a paycheck.
A man helping himself or an other is rewarded with satisfaction and thank yous, or tokens, gifts, trades.
A man Following Scriptural Laws, Rules or Secular/Civil Laws or rules...are Benefited with Gods BLESSINGS, and man's Accolades.
(Avoiding negative (curse/penal) consequences.
••A man - speaking, teaching, preaching, the Word of God Clearly "TO Gods CREDIT" (the Speaking, etc. Clearly Because OF God making it possible).
••A man - helping an other Clearly "TO Gods CREDIT" (the help forward to an other, Clearly Because God made it possible.
•• IS a man accomplishing Works THAT Glorify God.
• In Brief-
Justified BY God...
TO Receive a BLESSING from God, For Doing as He has Taught is most beneficial For You (via Commands, Laws, statutes, precepts (behaviors))....IS One thing.
•
Justified BY God...
TO Receive A REWARD from God, FOR Glorifying God before other men....
IS a completely other thing.
I think that at times becomes cross-wired, because that both -Blessings and Rewards- are prefaced with Works of a man.
(and TO note...God also justifies " some blessings Given men For "not having done works"...)
It is paramount to Divide the Word of Truth, to determine What applies to a specific individual...and not an other.
Glory to God,
Taken
