1 Timothy 6:10 (NASB20)
For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wandering away from trusting in God is put forth in scripture as that which brings forth many griefs…

This, is a description of the fruit of a man wandering away from the faith… For man either has faith in God’s love, or he doesn’t… For his faith is either producing its fruit in God, or the lack of faith in God’s love, is producing a fruit in something, for fruit is always being produced… Which fruit is determined by where one’s faith is, for all man live by faith, for one’s faith is either in trusting in God’s love for one, or, in something other, other being, one’s ability to figure things out, rather than a constant trusting in God’s love for one…. This other, shackles a man to the things of this world, for faith in God’s love for one frees one from these limitations, these shackles, these griefs, these many problems of the flesh…

For when living by trusting in God becomes the center ground of life, all is well with that soul… That new birth in the soul is making the greatest progress that new birth can make… For the soul’s Creator is He who gives increase, and faith, the Divine desire is that thing alone that is the conduit between the creature and its Creator… The Divine desire, in, after, and to God, is the new birth itself crying out after its native country…

This longing of the Divine desire in the heart, if given leave to have its way, will do all in and for the heart that that heart could possibly ever hope or dream, because God is good and He loves, and faith, and trust in His love for one, is that that builds a relationship with one’s Creator that can, will and does overcome all that would stand in its way….

For scripture says, the just shall live by trusting in God, this is the Christian faith, a constant trusting in God’s love for one… For this trusting of God’s love makes the Purity of the Product in, that product being the life of Christ grown in, and manifested through one.. For this is the purpose of the new birth, that it might grow to the manifesting of itself… For when one learns the way of faith in God’s love for one, one has learned the way of growth…

Be blessed in one’s relationship with He that loves with His whole heart….

How can there be any growth?

I thought it was imputed grace and righteousness?

everyone equal in grace and righteousness

no building up treasures in heaven for Protestants only static faith alone

‘How do you understand the scripture?’

May you be blessed in your understanding, and in the experiencing, of the ‘how’…


In Him, Not me

what scripture?
How?
What is required?

As far as your salvation goes, it matters not my understanding of scripture, it only matters what your understanding is….

To that understanding, do I commit you to He that died to set us free…

Be blessed in your search for the answers that will bring your heart to rest…
