Jesus
Christ shown as The Sower imparting divine seed
Today,
reply is on judgment, the sowing of divine seed, and the selection of
those who receive revelation. The principle described by the divine
operations of election also are spoken of as divine prerogative,
grace, eternal purpose, inheritance, promise, and the sovereign will
of GOD. Thus, divine offspring, heirs, and the seed of GOD appear in
the earth. It is written: Romans 9: 8-16, KJV: 8 That is, They
which are the children of the flesh, these are not the
children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the
seed. 9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I
come, and Sarah shall have a son. 10 And not only this; but
when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father
Isaac; 11 (For the children being not yet born, neither
having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to
election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12 It
was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13 As it is
written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14 What shall we
say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So
then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth,
but of God that sheweth mercy. A fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers”

Why
does God only reveal himself to those who already believe? Why do
Christians say you must already believe the Bible is true....?
to
interpret it correctly?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: 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. For to be carnally minded is
death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that
are in the flesh cannot please God. 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. (Romans 8:
5-9, King James Version, KJV)

“Susie”,
the Bible teaches that all men do not have faith that is a spirit
substance within the full makeup of GOD; and all men have not
believed the Gospel. Most Christians understand that GOD is exalted
because he has put forth all things having consciousness, existence,
and life. His authority, knowledge, power, and wisdom are that of
one having dominion, and ownership. GOD is one who reigns and rules
(we say, one who is sovereign); and has put forth law that expresses
his will. Such believers acknowledge that GOD continues a process to
assign value, determine what will be the duration of things as
well as what things will be preserved forever to serve immortal
divinity. In this, GOD is to be understood as one and who makes
immutable decisions, and final dispositions as judge.
It
is an unchanging purpose of divinity (we also say, the Godhead; the
Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit) that men and women exist without
interruption (e.g., condemnation because of sin; death; mortality;
sleep). Humanity is to be a life companion with GOD who is Spirit,
who is invisible, and who is immortal. The deeds and works of the
living are examined for the sacred quality, process, and substance
that must be in place as the fitness and readiness of created beings
and living creatures to be in an ongoing relationship with GOD.
There must be possibilities for communication, exchange, and
interaction that display a meaningful connection to GOD; and
inseparable aspects of the image of (we say, Christ-likeness;
godliness; divine DNA; holy seed) must appear. Included are faith,
holiness, joy, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness without
sameness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin.
Consider
again the following that uses language from the Bible:
1.
John 4: 23-24, King James Version (KJV): 23 But the hour cometh,
and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him
in spirit and in truth.
2.
Luke 8: 4-8, KJV: 4 And when much people were gathered together,
and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: 5 A
sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the
way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured
it. 6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it
withered away, because it lacked moisture. 7 And some fell among
thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 8 And other
fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold.
And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear.
3.
Luke 8: 11-15, KJV: 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the
word of God. 12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then
cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest
they should believe and be saved. 13 They on the rock are they,
which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no
root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have
heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures
of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 15 But that
on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart,
having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with
patience.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4. Psalms 50: 14-23, KJV: 14 Offer
unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 15 And
call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou
shalt glorify me. 16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou
to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my
covenant in thy mouth? 17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and
casteth my words behind thee. 18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou
consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 19
Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 20
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest
thine own mother’s son. 21
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou
thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but
I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in
pieces, and there be none to deliver. 23 Whoso offereth
praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his
conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.) Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
