As for holiness...i think have answered my own question. Holiness being an attitude that produces a standing or the other way around--the end result is the same. Holy actions brought forth through holy stnading and attitude. Not us trying to produce it, rather it producing its self through us? Am i amking sense?
[b]Is not [u]our work to labor[/u] to obtain and eat Christ as the "Bread of Heaven"?[/b]To know that [b][u]we do not have to strive[/u] to be holi [u]but rather to rest in Christ[/u] who is within us as our holiness[/b].
I use to "want to" do my own thing and do things for others that would benefit me. I did everything with motives that would make me happy or so I thought. Then one day I believed in Jesus Christ and His Spirit was birthed in me and all motives began to change. We have all heard it before, when we get our new life in Christ, He gives us a new "want to". All His want when He was on this earth as the Man God, all He wanted was to please His Father and do His will. With the knowing that Christ brings into our being and our mind by the Holy Spirit and the Mind of Himself, that is Christ in us the Hope of Glory, we have the same "want to," that Jesus Had, and that is how we become the works of Christ. Line upon line and precept upon precept, "for the life I now live I live by the Faith of the Son of God, who loves me and gave Himself for me." This is our rest, to know that The Love of Christ shed abroad In our hearts will give the only Person credit that deserves it, and that is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Who of God has been born again in us and we are becoming more like Christ everyday, not by our works but by His. May we all rest in our agreement with Amen's that never end. Amen is not the end but just the beginning of the next Amen.In Christ: Phillip
