"that I may know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead... that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus."

Christ denied Himself for the salvation of all the Father's children.
His children's denial of self, after the example of Christ, results inclusive of peace, spiritual wisdom, Christlike character and being light to the world.

1John3:2-3
Beloved,
now we're children of God,
and it hasn't been manifested as yet what we will be.
We know that when He is manifested, we will be like Him,
because we will see Him just as He is.
And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself,
just as He is pure.

Gen3:12-13
The man said,...and I ate.”
The woman said,...and I ate.”

They both confessed their sin.

Gen4:9...“Where's Abel your brother?”...“I don't know; am I my brother's keeper?”

Cain didn't confess.

1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, he's faithful and just to forgive us...

for whenever our heart condemns us,
God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart doesn't condemn us, we have confidence before God;
and whatever we ask we receive from him,
because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
1 John 3:20-22

"Humility is a critical element in achieving unity,
don't require it in others,
express it from self."

Despite ongoing turning away from the truth,
& rejection of the gospel by many,
& men holding the truth in unrighteousness;
& in these later times some have fallen away from the faith.
& some have already turned aside after Satan.

All those the Father gives Him will come to Him.

“Our fathers worshiped on this mountain,& you people say that Jerusalem's the place where men ought to worship.”
...an hour's coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father."

"the Spirit of truth...abides with you & will be in you."

Peter found that an earthly train of thought gives space for demonic influence.
Matthew 16:23

But He turned and said to Peter,
“Get behind Me, Satan!
You are a stumbling block to Me;
for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests,
but man’s.”

"All of scripture ultimately points to or flows from the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
He is there in plain sight;
we shouldn't ever teach the bible and omit the gospel."

Acts 9:31
So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria was having peace, being built up.
And going on in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it continued to multiply.

@gijoe6pack @Danielle_Ln7 God has revealed Himself to man throughout time, but these revelations of Himself are barely glimpses, relative to His immeasurable Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent infinite Self. He dwells in unapproachable light, and yet He revealed Himself in Christ, to a woman at the well.

A short overview of what I've come to understand as biblical teaching on believers baptism, many years after having been baptised as an infant.

Galatians 1:2-5

Grace to you
and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who gave Himself for our sins

so that He might rescue us from this present evil age,

according to the will of our God and Father,
to whom be the glory forever and ever.
Amen.

1Cor15&Col2

Now the sting of death is sin,
& the power of sin is the law;
but thanks be to God,
who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us,... & has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.

@MinistryAddict John 14:16-17 “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, that He may be with you forever;
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it does not see Him or know Him.
You know Him because He abides with you and will be in you..."

[Andy Overton @AndyOvertonAU]

Colossians 3:15
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,..."

The peace of God that rules our hearts, is a result of living by faith which comes from God, and trusts God no matter what.

Faith grows through the mind delighting in and meditating on His Word day and night.

2Co 5:1

For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down,
we have a building from God,
a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens.

[Andy Overton @AndyOvertonAU]

Colossians 3:2-4
Set your minds on things that are above,
not on things that are on earth.

For you have died,
and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ who is your life appears,
then you also will appear with him in glory.

[Andy Overton @AndyOvertonAU]

The kindness of God is expressed in the John 5 story of the lame man at Bethesda, in at least 4 ways:
- Personally by Christ Jesus.
- Through God's sacrificial law.
- An angels obedient service.
- Man's obedient service.
