“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9 KJV).
If our physical posterity could augment its spiritual dexterity, exactly what would that entail?
“This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness [loose, wild, crazy living], to work all uncleanness [impurity] with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Ephesians 4:17-24).
As Romans chapters 6–8 make plain, victorious Christian living (“walking”) involves depending on our Christian resources (“Christ”) rather than our Adamic resources (“sin”). Only when we “study… rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) will we understand how grace living (what God works in us when we trust Him) is far more advantageous than legalistic living (what we do for God, which Law system is always insufficient and flawed). The Books of 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, and Galatians are all deviations from basic Romans truth—and this is where most “Christian” people, most “Christian” churches, and most “Christian” schools are. Obsessed with the sins of the flesh (carnality/humanism) and the sins of the spirit (asceticism/denominationalism), they overlook what God can do for us through Christ’s finished crosswork (grace).
Believers today are the Church the Body of Christ, not the nation Israel. The prophetic program going all the way back to Adam is momentarily interrupted (Acts 3:21), that the mystery/secret program be in force (Romans 16:25,26). Paul’s 13 epistles, Romans to Philemon, define what God is currently doing. Exercise great caution where you and your family (if you ever have one) go to church. It should be a place where the King James Bible is studied rightly divided, where grace living is promoted instead of legalistic commands and demands….
