THE BATTLE AXE: (09/01/2013) On Being Merciful—To the extent believers miss the truth that they are called to Christ as those who must unselfishly give and minister to sinners, there are many who become mired and stuck in religious forms of self promotion and selfish pleasure. Included are enjoying sacred music as entertainment rather than prophecy, church gatherings as ones primary form of amusement and social interaction, and intense arguments and debate regarding belief and Bible doctrine. Through the person of Jesus Christ resurrected to serve as Judge and head of his church, both the great commission and the passage from Jude center upon divine judgment, proclaiming mercy as an aspect of judgment along with divine wrath, and what it is to be dutiful as a believer in the salvation of GOD in Christ. See Zechariah 7: 8-14, Zechariah 8: 16-17, Micah 6: 7-9, Matthew 5: 7 and Luke 6: 27-38, King James Version.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. (John 10: 14-23, KJV)

Jasmarie, here are some points you may find helpful that are often shared among growing Christian believers:
(1.) GOD is a spirit, and does not operate with all the carnal, material, private and social goals of a man or woman in the flesh. GOD is the source of all that has place within existence; and is therefore sovereign over life itself. As a result, believers trust that GOD does not lie; GOD does not introduce contradictions of his own word; and GOD does not promote spiritual confusion. The word from GOD is a putting forth of divine substance. Thus, spiritual truth is only apprehended using spiritual devices and procedures. Therefore, every believer must receive the imparted, indwelling spirit from GOD supplied through the ministry of Jesus Christ, GOD incarnate.
(2.) The challenge to all believers is that they become balanced, consistent, stable and thorough in their response to the claims of GOD in Christ. Born again, and containing the spirit substance of Christ, believers must learn and mature again. Despite having new measures of faith, holiness, love, wisdom, and wrath against sin, the very make-up of GOD, believers must encounter “growing pains” and obstacles from those who disbelieve, enemies, family, friends, strangers, and many who do not yet understand.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. For example, (3.) GOD is not a divine trickster. Believers can only know GOD because GOD makes himself knowable (we say, allows himself to be discovered, reveals himself). Where the “faith” a person expresses repeatedly condemns, criticizes, denies GOD, or displays doubt and unbelief, that faith is not from GOD showing himself, and speaking of himself.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
