What characterizes a true child of God versus one that purports to be there without having the characteristics as a child of God!
This is like a continuation article to the articles where I have been for me the various Pentecostal Charismatic preachers that Jesus speaks of that he will not confess . Picture of our cat , when I bring up the article , among others, our nature as crucial to how we are and behave.
1 ) Hebrews . 12 5b my son ! heed the Lord's chastening call , nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : 6 For whom the Lord loves he chastens , and He scourges every son whom he receiveth. 7 It is for chastening sake that I endure chastening , God dealeth with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline ? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers , then are ye bastards , and not sons . 9 Moreover, our flesh we have had fathers disciplined us and we gave them reverence : shall we not much more obey the Father of spirits , that we may live ? 10 For they disciplined us for a few days after their own pleasure , but he for our profit, that we may share in his holiness. 11 All chastening seems , when it is on , not to be joyous , but grievous : nevertheless afterward it gives it to those who have been exercised , fruit of righteousness .
It is a stand discipline or not showing whether one is a true-born child of God , this is where we see the difference.
From my commentaries Hebrews 12 5 Have you forgotten the electrifying words that speak to you as to sons : My son , despise not the chastening of the Lord , do not lose heart when he rebukes you. The fact that Paul did so strongly contended with them was painful yet necessary. To hear one go you are actually part of it to be chastised and chastened by the Lord. That God also uses people to treat one makes many times the process more humiliating , but it is necessary to reprimand too! 6 For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and chastises every son he receiveth. To get the refs are proof that you are a true born child of God. I as a father raising my own children , not the neighbor . So it is with God , he just raise their own children.
7 That you must suffer, it serves to train you, God is treating you as sons . For what son is not disciplined by his father ? One day all the pain will be a thing of the past. Now in the meantime God raise us for future glory . It is quite natural that there is a process in pain . All life that grows also painful elements in it . Had it been dead had never known to change and pain . 8 If you do not receive discipline like any other , you are not sons but bastards . Here is Paul built on what is natural for us too . As a sign that one is a real child hears also teaching, reproof and instruction with , of course, on the spiritual plane . 9 We have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Do not we have much more reason to bow down before him who is the Father of spirits , so we can win life ? Our Father in heaven is our common Father of spirits . He treats us both equally and induelt . Equally , in that no one has tinned with him because of external things , reputation and rank in human and eyes. Induelt because each treats him as the best and expedient for the individual.
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best . But he does it for our good , that we may share in his holiness. God in heaven is a responsible, reliable and loving Father . He is the very best both Father and Mother . Nothing of what he does can someone do better and after him even better. Psalm 103 13 As a father has compassion on his children , so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. 14 For he knows how we are made , he remembereth that we are dust . 11 All chastening seems at the moment to be more grief than joy. However, since it provides peace of righteousness and of those who have been trained by it. Here is what Paul repeats itself. But the path of least resistance is for us humans but it is very often not God's way. When Israel went out of Egypt , they went through the most perilous road , and the hardest . But it was the way of God and where God could do great work and show who he was.
2 ) Heb . 12 11 All chastening seems , when it is on , not to be joyous , but grievous : nevertheless afterward it gives it to those who have been exercised , fruit of righteousness . 12 Therefore , just the hands that hang down and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be distinctly uncomfortable , but rather be healed !
From my commentaries Hebrews 12 11 All chastening seems at the moment to be more grief than joy. However, since it provides peace of righteousness and of those who have been trained by it. Here is what Paul repeats itself. But the path of least resistance is for us humans but it is very often not God's way. When Israel went out of Egypt , they went through the most perilous road , and the hardest . But it was the way of God and where God could do great work and show who he was. 12 So , right off the weak hands and strengthen the feeble knees ! This is a quote from Isaiah indicates that the constitution is very poor. When a return to law and self-righteousness is just as serious in the eyes of God as living in sin and immorality . It is only and solely Jesus as Savior and it is through him we shall also live as believers . This is the Bible and New Testament core truth. Acts 4 12 And there is salvation in any other : for there is neither any other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved . (1930 overs . ) . Kol . 2 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.
13 Let your feet go straight ahead on the road , so it does not go limp out of joint , but rather becomes healthy again . Again Paul quotes from the Old Testament, now it is from Psalm 73 Asaph had not lived near the Lord but only looked at the circumstances , therefore, it was gone a spiritual darkness over him. This could also be transferred to the church here and they had to take lessons and do not fall into the same ditch.
3 ) Heb . 12 14 Jag after peace with all and after holiness , for without holiness no man shall see the Lord. 15 And take heed that no man recoils from God's grace that no one bitter root grow up and become men, and many become infected by it.
From my commentaries Hebrews 12 14 Seek to live in peace with everyone and striving for holiness , for without holiness no man shall see the Lord. That these things had created large and internal strife in the church in Jerusalem is quite understandable. When u visions come to the surface will also conflicts with that rule . But so shall it not be, Therefore it is necessary that the sanctification process accelerates and increases throughout his life !
15 See to it that there are some that allow the grace of God go by ! Let no root of bitterness grow up and cause damage , so many be defiled . Paul addressed clear who made strife . It was they who passed away from the free grace in Christ, the law, and allowed himself works of the flesh . But while one must always make sure to not leave any root of bitterness grow up . Rooms . 16 17 I beseech you , brethren, mark them which cause divisions and others fall by going against the teachings you have received . Stay away from them. 18 The kind of people do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly . With the nice words and platitudes leads the gullible people astray. 19 But everyone has heard about your obedience , so I rejoice over you . I want you to be wise in what is good, but the simple in evil.
4 ) 16 that no man is an adulterer or an unholy like Esau , who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright . 17 For ye know him , and later, when he wanted to inherit the blessing , he was rejected - for he found no place of repentance - though he sought it with tears.
From my commentaries Hebrews 12 16 See that no sexually immoral and wickedness of Esau , who sold his birthright for a meal . Here was a church that lived more in dropping a revival \ renewal. When the fire glow and love is gone so will also sin and secular morality in! This will not be the word of God precious longer and live and follow it important. Psalm 119 4 You have commanded your precepts that they should be strictly observed.
17 You know that his side would get his father's blessing , he was rejected , though he crying bad about it. For he did not find the way to repentance. A apostates and carnal heart thrive in sin but not the consequences and effects of sin . As Esau lived is the result of a heart that has turned their back on God . One that sins are not sins only when he sins, but it begins in the mind long before an active action. 2 Cor. 10 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of people, but they have their power from God and can add strongholds to ruin . We tear down imaginations, 5 and all large and proud that rise up against the knowledge of God , and we take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
5 ) Efes . 5 7 have therefore nothing to do with them ! 8 For you were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light - 9 for the fruit of herself in all goodness and righteousness and truth -
From my commentaries Ephesians 5 5 For you to know that no whoremonger , living in immorality , or is greedy and therefore worship an idol , may share in God and Christ's kingdom . What is adultery or fornication in mind ? Unclean and immoral desires. God sees all this, because he knows the heart . Matt 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Remarriage for believers except for sexual immorality is to initiate an unclean relationship that will benefit both oneself and others into perdition. Failure to live according to the word of God is something that font equate with being an idolater ! 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words ! For there is such a thing as doing God's wrath affects the disobedient . There are plenty who will say it is not so dangerous. God has forgiven others are judgmental and arrogant etc. No, it is the words of Scripture as the sole is our guideline here, nothing else!
7 Do not make common cause with them! It is always during this time household enough and more people who will tell you what Satan will what God wants . Satan is the prince of this world and God. If you say yes to sin you say yes to the darkness . We are encouraged not to make common cause with the world and the flesh of children . We must all take care not to get into the enemy's clutches ! 8 For you were once darkness itself , but now - in the Lord - you are light . Live then as children of light ! The light is perhaps the most times in the Bible is used as a picture of the kingdom of God to do. And when God created the world , He knew that light was essential for all life. First we had the light come . So life could spring up . But in the spiritual world it is so . About John the Baptist was said that he came to testify about the light , the true light that gives light to every man . In John 's Gospel we see the light , the Word and Jesus are somehow merged into one concept. How is the kingdom of God. Without the word of Jesus we would all live in spiritual darkness . The Gospel had revealed that we could reach salvation. The light had to find us to redeem us from eternal darkness. Also King David knew about this connection : Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path . ( Psalm 119:105 ) The light we connect with something nice and warm , giving confidence and joy . But light can also be dangerous . Anyone who has something to hide, are deathly afraid that strong spotlights are turned on to reveal what is hidden in darkness. And in a spiritual context, the light just have such a revealing function. In Joh.3 0.19 to 20 we read: And this is the condemnation , that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light , because their deeds were evil. For whoever does evil hates the light and will not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
9 The light fruit goodness, righteousness and truth. Firstly honor the God that we walk in the light . Secondly , we have a nature that can not manage anything else ( 1 Joh.3 : 9) , but a third thing is that darkness hurt us . John 24:35 says something interesting. " Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you . Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you. He that walketh in darkness knoweth namely not whither he goeth , and John 11:10 where Jesus says: " He who walks in the night , he stumbles , because the light is not in him ." When we walk in the light , then followed the ad of right and truth. Psalm 23 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life , and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for centuries .
6 ) Eph. 5 7 have therefore nothing to do with them ! 8 For you were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light - 9 for the fruit of herself in all goodness and righteousness and truth -
Goodness: A true child of God not only does good deeds , but he / she is good because a share in the divine nature , is a child of light and love to do good !
7 ) Efes . 5 7 have therefore nothing to do with them ! 8 For you were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light - 9 for the fruit of herself in all goodness and righteousness and truth -
Fairness : A true child of God do not only righteous deeds etc. but is righteous in all his nature and behavior . Cheat on taxes, cheating or remarry a believer or marry a divorcee is unimaginable and excluded because one is both just live as one who is righteous.
8 ) Efes . 5 7 have therefore nothing to do with them ! 8 For you were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light - 9 for the fruit of herself in all goodness and righteousness and truth -
Truth: Truth is a person, but we surround ourselves with truth and truth has tracked about our lives. Without truth , we are not children of God, the truth , we show that we are children of God .
9 ) Jn . AD 10 9 I am the door: by me , he shall be saved , and shall go in and out and find pasture.
As believers find one 's satisfied and delighted in the Christian life . A mammal can not behave like a bird and a bird can not live like a fish. A child of God can not live and behave like a devil's children just as little as a devil child can behave and be a child of God . It is nature that makes a world of difference however .
10 ) Joh.e. 10 14 I am the good shepherd , and I know my sheep , and am known by mine .
As a child of God is known by Jesus and know him well. This is life eternal to know the Father and Him who was sent forth , Jesus Christ. By the knowledge of nurtured and grow one as a child - a child of God .
11 ) John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
It is very often I wonder if she or he are Christians when they hear and know the difference between what is of God and not by him. But the truth is that God's children hear the voice of Jesus , if they do not hear his voice , they are not children of God , I am afraid . I am very happy because I have heard his voice and voice speaking to me both : 1 Cor. 14 3 on the other hand who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.
Jesus speaking to me , and through me has always been with the ingredients mentioned here : " edification and exhortation and consolation ."
Final Comment:
Have written against some , and rightly so . But it is important to stick to heart is that a true child of God behaves , lives and is in its essence as partakers in nature deity , God's own nature .
2 Peter 1:4 and thus has given us the greatest and precious promises , that through these might be partakers of the divine nature , having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust ,
I like that word and expression of we are made partakers of the divine nature . This by nature , I like , because it turns out that, for example . that a dog barking and a cat meow templates and so is it their nature. A cat acts like a cat, why? Because it is a cat . And a dog ? Of course , it 's a dog and behave accordingly. So it is with us as children of God we are alive and in everything we do , say and think , what is consistent with God's word.
Could taken so very much more as this is a very large topic , but a child of God is different than Satan's child and not a child of God . That we must both believe and expect! For we humans are spiritually , either children of God or the Ondes children. And you live like the evil will , then you're probably him you belong . But you live as God wants , then raining and I believe that you are a child of God !
