Today,
reply is on the comprehensive operations to reveal divinity on the
earth as being characterized by concentration and focus, rather than
being all-inclusive. GOD calls men and women into service as
disciples, healers, judges, prophet, priests, and kings. Even so,
all will not be chosen to reign with Jesus Christ as joint-heirs, and
the new creation. In the same way that sacred
tribunals for judgment expose and uncover otherwise hidden and unseen
aspects of content and substance among and within mankind, where the
living accept accountability, declare commitment, complete duty, and
perform required service they also present the image of GOD and the
likeness of Jesus Christ. It is written: Matthew 22: 8-10, King
James Version (KJV): 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is
ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore
into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered
together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the
wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to
see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding
garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither
not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said
the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away,
and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth. 14 For many are
called, but few are chosen. A fighter in the “Yahoo!
Answers” public forum on Religion & Spirituality who uses the
ID “ImAtheist” (Level 1 with 2 points) posted the following:
If
the Christian God is all knowing all powerful how come it has yet to
convince even half of the population that it exists?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any
man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should
walk in them. (Ephesians 2: 8-10, KJV)

“ImAtheist”,
sharing things understood among those who declare what they believe
instead of what they disbelieve, before the creation of the earth
there were fixed standards in place; and only those meeting the
standards will be continued in eternity. Mankind’s
response to the operations of sin required mortality and separation
as continuing conditions for the existence and integrity of created
beings and living creatures on the earth. The sanctions against that
appear within unchanging divine law make necessary such sacred works
as atonement; birth, development to maturity, anointing for ordained
ministry and priesthood, living as a nomad and an itinerant preacher,
and the death of divinity on the cross (we say, the Incarnation of
divine fullness as Jesus Christ); redemption; resurrection for the
dead to appear in final judgment; salvation; sanctification; and the
second death that eliminates and erases all sin.
GOD
is a spirit, and the operations of divinity are spirit in process and
substance. Spirit remains invisible and undetectable to those
relying on finite human tools of flesh (e.g., sensations of hearing,
seeing, tasting, touching, etc.), or mind (e.g., carnal reason,
imagination, logic, recall, thinking). Divinity is made knowable,
known, accessible, and approachable (we say, revealed) by inseparable
aspects of divine fullness that are imparted to exist within the
consciousness and self-will of the living. Included are faith,
forbearance, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness without
sameness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin.
GOD
maintains all Creation and the entire universe using authority,
divine order, dominion, mechanical process and natural law, power,
sacred law, divine prerogative, eternal purpose, and sovereign will.
Divinity responds to the presence of life essence (we say,
breath; spirit; word) within created beings and living creatures as
an aspect of divine fullness. The living are to be companions to
immortal, incorruptible, invisible divinity; and they are to
resemble, reflect, and reveal the image of GOD. Achieving the gifts
of salvation and eternal life are not based on self-promotion and
humanity choosing GOD, so much as GOD choosing mankind and responding
to those who bear his mark. Therefore, mature Christians speak in
terms of divine concentration and focus upon the living through
adoption, grace, judgment, and purchase. Consider again the
following that uses language from the Bible, and a selection from the
music ministry of John Michael Talbot:
(1.)
Psalms 15: 1-3, King James Version (KJV): 1 LORD,
who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh
the truth in his heart. 3 He that backbiteth not with his
tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach
against his neighbour.
(2.)
Romans 6: 23, KJV: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but
the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(3.)
Psalms 51: 15-17, KJV: 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth
shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice;
else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
(4.)
Ephesians 2: 4-6, KJV: 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his
great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins,
hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
(5.)
Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind
the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the
things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in
the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (6.)

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
