GOD'S MESSENGERS
75..PLEASING GOD
If you are a "believer"..you believe in Paul's teachings and you will want to please God.
A task not always accomplished 24/7, but you would give it your best shot. You will do this, not out of fear that you will go to hell if you don't, or that God commands it, but rather out of love and desire, remembering that you know the great secret of life.."where we came from".."why we're here".."where we're going at death".
This is not known, or rather not understood by most of the world. That is the reason for THE OBSCURE TEACHINGS OF PAUL, to make clear his teachings, so eloquently expressed in his letters.
Indeed, the great majority of the world not only doesn''t know, but are afraid of what's to come, whereas we are without fear, our destiny is controlled by the Great God in heaven, where we will join Him and the Lord Jesus the Christ!
Also, never forget, You were chosen before the disruption of the world..think about that awhile!
We realize and accept what Paul learned at the "foot" of the Spirit, that God has graciously justified us of our sins..they do not exist. In return, we endeavor not to sin, because we want to please the Father, not out of fear, but love..that's what is meant by "grace super exceeds", when it comes to sinning.
Incidentally, you'll find what it means to "fear God" in proverbs..it is not that you will tremble and shake, because you might be "smited", no it means to "hate evil"..thus you are pleasing God.
So we endeavor to please God by doing what is "good", daily, and when there is doubt as to what should be done, we'll follow our conscience..our constant connection with God..paulnbob
