Thoughtful examination of mankind experience from inception with the first created beings, reveals things counted ideal had often been questioned.
These questions often result to controversy.
Touching the first created beings, the serpent questioned God’s instructions to these beings.
When God instructed Moses concerning the liberation and emancipation of the LORD chosen people, Pharaoh- king of Egypt- questioned God’s order.
When the Lord and Master Jesus Christ came for emancipation of whole human race, the serpents – heathens- of His days questioned the authority.
This day, even the heathens, have accepted the Lord and Master Jesus Christ as reveals in the scripture. Recalled, from scripture, our Lord and Master Jesus Christ was the last basis of controversy amongst brethren. If, even, the brethren- heathens- now accepted Him for who and what scripture reveals concerning Him, why then present day controversy, some persons might wonder?
In this day contemporary brethren, a major controversy could be traced to the revelation of Jesus Christ to the last apostle to onboard into the faith by the LORD God, Himself. Talking of Apostle Paul.
The life of the earliest apostles reveal brethren who were very thorough in the law of God: but, lack the righteous application of the law.
Paul’s revelation of the mystery of Christ Jesus is very deep and extreme due to the thoroughness he had in the law: extremely great was the damaged caused in attempting to preserve the law.
In truth, rarely will any person comes to better understanding of the ways of God without detailed attention to the law of God.
Paul, in revealing the excellency with which grace surpasses the law, spoke of mystery too hard for any person, who has not had encountered to comprehend.
To the natural being, sticking to revelation of the LORD to Paul, might appeared as immunity of grace over all things with emphasis on heart purity and uprightness.
In concluding, grace never abolished the law, Rather helps brethren to fulfill the law. In overcoming modern christians controversy, it is fitting for learning of God to follow this pattern:
Paul, very pure and upright in heart, never lived anyhow due to the knowledge of the law however. By the law, this beloved apostle reveals he was righteous in the law, but recognized after conversation that salvation is never by the law but faith in Christ Jesus.
- First, starts with the righteousness of God in human nature- our Lord and Master Jesus Christ according to the first four gospels.
- Then, return to the Father’s teaching. The Son, our Lord and Master Jesus Christ could do nothing of himself except as seen the Father does and speaks.
- Then, the earliest apostles that were with our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.
- Lastly, the apostle that came onboard in due season- Paul.
Never lose sight of the central focused in any study and learning- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The Son reveals the Father and draws awareness about the Holy Spirit coming and purpose. The Father spoke of the future plan which the Son accomplishes touching the instructions which the people in ancient time failed to fulfill. The Holy Spirit make known depth of the Father and help us in the Son fulfill the LORD instructions to the glory of the Son and the Father our Lord and God, the Rock of salvation.
The beauty of knowing the Father and the Son helps through the Spirit to discern even amongst earliest apostles when not acting according to the exact- accepted and perfect- will of the Father.
The LORD God Almighty help everyone come to better and perfect understanding of the LORD accepted order in lifestyle to the intent our deeds and words even motives, thoughts and intentions are in absolute alignment willfully to the LORD’S in Jesus name amen.
Peace, grace and mercy be to you.
