You will come to the place of reverence and fear in your heart because the Father is coming. You will see us as we cause your eyes to be opened. We will come with the word of oath because you have given yourself to the Word. Wash your garment. We will do that which would not pass away. Therefore, let your heart be guarded with fear; purify yourself and guard your heart that you may abide in our presence for it takes mercy to travel in the spirit and travel safely.
1 Timothy 3
One would be a novice in the profession if one doesn't go through the right door because when the devil traps people he gives them what they cannot handle. Being blameless is not being perfect in one’s own sight but being perfect according to the mystery of faith.
Luke 1:4
That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
When people are brought to the New Testament, they can't be found blameless.
Philippians 3:4-11
The status of blamelessness can be attained when an individual is holding the mystery of faith with a pure conscience/a practitioner of the mystery of the faith. By understanding this, it is easier to receive the ministration. Anyone in this position of holding the mystery of faith must be proved. This is because they would be obtaining a degree and great boldness. The mystery of the Faith is the job for now. Faith can give a good report but God's expectation is that we would receive the promise which is a good degree.
In the New Testament, we hear statements like "a more excellent", "exceedingly abundantly above" and the likes. This is because the place we are being taken to is an excellent place. Faith is the tool to a more excellent pathway. Jesus is the author and finisher of a type of faith which is called "Our Faith". The scripture in Hebrews 12 "Looking unto Jesus the author...” is an instruction to us because we have been looking at other things before or we have the tendency of looking at other things. Faith is to generate Life. There are different types of faith.
Colossians 1:3-24
When we are born again we are born by faith to come into another Faith. Faith is a kind of grace; it is a grace expression that saved us. Hebrews 3:7. That we hear the voice of the Lord is not ordinary; it is the impact of grace.
Galatians 3:24
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Faith came and enabled men to be under grace and not under a school master anymore. When we come into Christ, it is then there is repentance being made from dead works. It is grace that saves, works do not. Christ Jesus himself is the faith. Faith in the Lord Jesus is what creates the platform to call God our Father. Being born again and receiving the Holy Ghost come with the Faith in the Lord Jesus.
Ephesians 1:15; Colossians 1:23-24; 1 Peter1:4
Faith in the Lord Jesus doesn’t make you know the riches, it only makes one believe.
One can't abide in a foundation but a house. The faith in the Lord Jesus is elementary and it is in it all other things are accessed. The mystery would bring Christ into you for Christ in you is the hope of Glory.
Colossians 4:3-4.
Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
What God wrought when he raised Jesus, that work of resurrection is what is to be wrought in us too. The Faith therefore is the work of the Son of God which is ordained to give Life. We have been justified but we are to be made just. Galatians 2:16, ‘Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.’ When we are being made right our own righteousness is being removed.
When Paul talked about being a Chief Sinner, he is talking about the level of the school of justification he sought for justification must be sought.
Galatians 2:17-20
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Justification puts one in a place of permanent crucifixion. Any man who would no longer be a novice must understand this mystery. May our hearts access grace to seek the justification of the Lord daily. Amen!
