Logic Faith involves reliance and trust and it will endure in the very face of doubt or inquiry, whereas belief is simply something most take to be true. Belief may be sounded by information. Faith is known by application. Faith in its truest form is when we have confidence in God to the point that it causes us to undertake His will, which reinforces our assurance in all He does and performs our certainty in all He says. Belief in its most elementary form is about what we accept to be true, not what we do with it. Beliefs are things we take to be true based on our logic and experiences. If we learn new information, our beliefs can change. When someone’s beliefs are challenged and changed it sometimes deepens and solidifies their faith — which is what our Heavenly Father wants to happen. Faith is similar to belief in that it is a specific kind and deeper intensity of belief. A person can believe in something and not have faith. Faith requires a personal inspection. Many have believed in God, but their faith in His ability to come through was lacking. Even though we know God’s promises and can sing about His faithfulness, we often struggle to act in faith because we were unsure. This does not deny our belief, it simply reveals our humanity. In reality our faith remains unchanged even as it grows because the word does not change. However, it is not that our faith must grow. It is in whom do we have faith. And with that faith in Christ, it will grow. Faith grows with every new revelation of truth. So, does faith and truth change our lives…we answer in the affirmative. God wants to move us from belief to faith and He wants our faith to grow. He desires this so that as our faith grow we will trust Him to control every purpose of, and for our lives. But this is a process, and it does not happen all at once. The beautiful part is God is gracious and will give us opportunities to demonstrate our faith. In God’s plan for our life, there are more things He has for us to do, but to get there we are going to require more faith. For this reason, He will graciously help us turn our belief into faith and all we have to do is ask for His help. Faith is layered with so much reason that even with the most familiar of thoughts and purposes we strive to grow deeper to discover a much richer meaning or treasure contained. The stronger our faith is; the more extraordinary things will occur as His spirit leads us. If we believe only, we do not plunge beneath its surface to ask, “is that all there is?” Faith is fidelity to the Word even when we don’t see the object of our belief. Faith does not come from humans but only from God. Faith is God’s energy, a gift not one of us deserves, a gift given to us by Christ to wash away our iniquities, one that makes Heaven our inheritance. Faith enables us to search our minds and our hearts for God and to come to God to reason in humility and obedience to His will, not our own. Understand how love is the only aspect of holiness that covenants us by faith with God. Remember hearing that God so loved and that He gave? Most of us believe that. But to really know that requires faith in the One whom God gave and it requires that love for the One who gave. If you love Me…keep My commandments and live by the   faith of the Son of God. We love with   faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith is more than just intellectual knowledge. It is more than just a mental assent. Faith is not halting between two opinions. It is to accept God’s word on all matters. Accepting God’s choice, His purpose. Faith is the principle of separation. The concept of being set apart as sacred. Meaning belonging to God. This is a recurring theme throughout the bible. Holding to that understanding is how our faith will cease to wax and wane. Faith must be grounded in the always faithful God and His will being done and not upon some specific outcome that may or may not serve God’s purpose. It is trust without reservation. Trusting is what brings the promises of God into our lives. Faith is our choice as to whom we will serve in sincerity and truth. And truth is found in the word of God. And so, faith is that light in God’s promises. It is God behind us and God before us. Our faith has a way of revealing our worst days, or weeks, or months, or years. Faith has a way of uncovering the purposes and the mercies of God in our past, and giving light to the promises of God for our tomorrow. The past becomes a list of hopes deferred, relationships lost, opportunities squandered, all telling the story of how we were elected. God has so sanctified every sorrow we’ve experienced that it has become, in His hands, an upward step in His purpose. Our past is but our wilderness experience. Christ himself has walked there. If the children of Israel had learned from that experience they would have been as the peculiar people spoken of. No matter how much guilt and grief is buried in the years gone by, the ground bears the footprints of the God who works footprints of the God who works... wonders. When we rehearse the bitterness behind us, then, we need to tell ourselves about this day that we were awakened. But that is not yet the full story. True faith has a different interpretation than what our worst moments would suggest. True faith is knowing of God’s wondrous deeds and thoughts toward us. No matter how many sorrows await us, faith tells us that God knows the thoughts that He Himself thinks toward us to give us an expected end. And the sum of them is great! Our mourning these days is great. It will increase. But so will our faith in God. What will come from our mourning, our suffering is a deeper understanding of the character of God and His thoughts toward us. This provision is purposed by God. Consider Jeremiah…lamenting actually deepens our gratitude, building our capacity for belief in the promise of His presence and blessing in the midst of it. We have greater faith. It is this greater faith by which we are secure in God’s love for us, when we know how He really feels about us, we are free to come to reason with Him and to ask and tell Him anything. Faith will keep us from faking fine in life. True faith strengthens us to approach God with what is really going on with us. God thinks of us as His. He tells us of His experiences of anger, of joy, of compassion, and even of jealousy. Why would we not choose to be wholly honest with Him…He already knows. It just so amazes Him when He sees our faith becoming so full that He wants desperately to make us whole. He wants us to know that this wholeness is the only way to have the fullness of faith and that is to have the fullness of the Holy Spirit, the fullness of the life of Christ, and the fullness of love from and for the Father. Our belief is that He’s got us! We cannot limit what God can do, but we can limit what we accept. When we truly believe, the equation of our faith will fill us up. God tells us how evil the days are and how so much worse they will be. So, He admonishes us to redeem the time, understanding what His will is for us. That we be filled with the Spirit. In our reasoning we understand that means we must be empty of all things of this world. And because God’s thoughts are toward us, He tells us of this greater faith we come to. Faith to know the love of Christ that we may be filled with all the fulness of God. Glory!!! The fullness of our faith is not determined by our ability to reach it but to receive it. We cannot add to our faith, Christ asks that we yield to faith that it can be added onto us. If we want to believe for more, we must trust for more. Trusting is not done out of strength but out of surrender. There is nothing that God can’t do if only we would let Him. Every circumstance we go through is an opportunity to hear Him, to seek His face in everything that happens. Do faith is our constant connection to God-thinking not do anything to play down faith. Faith is our constant connection to God- thinking. This is the mind of Christ. God’s way is the grace way. We give Him glory and He gives us grace. We give Him praise and He gives us peace. We give Him worship and He gives us confidence. This is the way of God. Our faith is to move us beyond the temporal world unto eternal thinking. We cannot teach God anything, but we can understand the things of God. We are but a faith-step away from being made perfect in Christ Jesus. Faith gives us an advantage. Ignorance is torn down while passionate truth builds up. Faith says test what you believe and see if it withstands the scrutiny of critical thinking, that is, critical thinking based on the Word of God. Faith is not established on what we think however, faith is built of what God knows of us. He knows when we make His ways our ways. As our faith is, so will God continually unfold new dimensions of His grace, His love, and His kindness, and His wisdom. By faith we are to expect days of troubled serenity ahead. If there be any lingering wreckage of our sin, God will clean it up. There will be days that will reveal more constellations of God’s goodness and glory to us, even as we more constellations of God's glory must walk through deep darkness to see them. By faith whatever else we see when we look ahead, then, see the grace and the mercies God has multiplied for us. See also the God who will never fail to preserve us with His steadfast love and faithfulness. If only we had a believing faith to see. We are hemmed in by the things behind us and the hopes before. We know of God’s wondrous deeds of the past. And our faith tells us of the merciful wonders to be. Both of these are marvelous and more than can be told. With such a God behind us and before us, we need not allow the past to swallow us, nor tomorrow to worry us. The past and the morrow belong to Him…and most importantly, so do we. It is believed that faith by both biblical and spiritual definitions needs no evidence. Faith is something that is certain but not yet fully realized in our present experience. It is the conviction of the reality of what we do not yet see. It is the characteristic of those who live “as seeing him who is invisible. We might even suggest that faith is ventured trust that is in no way contrary to reason. If faith bypasses reason why would God give us a written document. It is not just believing in God, it is believing God. It is belief that may not necessarily rely on empirical evidence. Can faith provide a connective understanding as to why our own belief must be based upon historical reality historical reality? Therein is the highest mystery that spans the truth of faith…faith always has an object. That is, one cannot have faith in some unclear way. There must be some thing or person, one has faith in. Most people do not understand how to place faith in its characteristic order. Faith cannot be “belief without evidence” since it is not a belief to begin with. It is a condition that may involve beliefs or may be caused by beliefs, although it is not itself a belief. Rather, it is a state of trust. And so, faith embraces testimony. Measure our faith by the Word of God and make sure we are assenting to the reasonable, historical testimony of the prophets. Faith is not something of a distance. Wow! What? Some have faith of being in the kingdom. Millennium has past and we’re not there yet. Do we believe these words: thy faith hath made thee whole, the kingdom of God cometh not with observation, the kingdom of God is within you. Is that faith? And how near is the kingdom? an entrusting ourselves where we risk ourselves and our wellbeing to something or some person. Trust is exemplified in a deep and mutual relationship. Faith requires not trust from a distance but God becoming man might qualify for such a demonstration. Everyone has faith, in this sense, insofar as they entrust themselves. So, what is the very distinctiveness of our faith? Its object is Jesus Christ, God Himself. And we venture on the reason, the truth, the revelation of every word of God. We place our faith in Christ as Savior and Lord. It is not merely the truth of the gospel, and it is not merely the evidence and reasons constitutive of the knowledge of the gospel, but we are literally entrusting ourselves to Christ. And here is the essence of the mystery: we might know some truths of the Creator’s determinative purpose by reason and evidence but, at a certain point, reason and evidence run out and faith takes over and the Spirit of God gives us what the mouth of God has spoken in secret. This moves us beyond the measure of faith. Beyond becoming convinced by the preaching of the gospel, the testimony of the Spirit, the richness of scripture, a work the Lord has done in our own lives, answers to prayer, a world that appears designed and finely tuned, needing an explanation for purpose and hope. We engage the life of the mind of Christ and being careful for nothing, considering and weighing out our reasons as we grow in faith and prayer letting our requests be made known unto God. Many that hear do not believe, yet those that believe have first heard. Faith cometh by hearing. The beginning, progress, Faith cometh by hearing. and strength of faith are by hearing. The word of God is therefore called the word of faith: it causes and nourishes faith. God gives faith, but it is by the word as the instrument. Hearing is by the word of God. It is not hearing the enticing words of man's wisdom, but hearing the word of God, that will befriend faith, and hearing it as the word of God. Think about how hearing the word of God reflects in the meaning of our lives for God. Others are made to witness faith in the relationship we have with God through Jesus Christ. We become a model of how a person of faith should live their faith out loud. People need to be encouraged and know others are praying for them, that they are loved and not forgotten, that they are loved by God and that He desires them to experience the grace, love and peace of God. There is a purpose behind God’s calling us to come to Him. We see the necessity of reason in bringing us to the threshold of faith. It is this vital collaboration whereby we believe that God will reveal to us the truth in the words of Jesus and his divine works as recorded in the bible. As such we become eyewitnesses of truth. We were not there, yet our reliance, our trust is in the One who makes known the strength of the evidence…it is faith in God. None of this violates our free will , for our faith in God depends on our personal “commitment” to Christ. For those of us who allow ourselves to be touched by God’s grace, for faith is nothing short of a gift, then we can make faith is a gift an act of faith that God does indeed exist and that He reveals Himself through His Son to bring us into the fullness of life. When we come to God to reason, we do not come to be rational, we come to be transrational, we go beyond the realm of reason. We trust God and that is faith! Faith and reason become like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of divine truth to believe all that is God. God wants us to know what we believe and why we believe it. We are to have a well reasoned, evidential faith that we can articulate to those who may have doubt. We do not share opinions. God either is, or He is not. Jesus is that God, or He is not. Salvation comes through Christ alone, or it does not. This is not a personal preference. Historical reality points to determined providential purpose. Ensamples, patterns, admonitions are for our benefit. Yesterday is a collection of ideas, choices and possibilities. Faith is that event that creates a wise narrative weaving our experience to hope and having that confidence that the work God began, He will perform. This is the how and the why we can know why we are the called. We are dramatic proof of the accuracy of the Old Testament. How did Mary know what she heard was truth? It was written. It is written How did Jesus know he was the Son of Man? It was written. Has your life been transformed? You know your experience to be true because you understand, on separate evidence, that the one in whom you trust is Himself trustworthy. And because God is God, His every utterance about the future is to be utterly trustworthy. Believing faith is discernible. It emits a spiritual light. Jesus perceived the strength or weakness in the faith of those around Him. We hear him say, “thy faith hath made thee whole.” “Great is thy faith.” He lamented to another, “O ye of little faith.” He questioned others, “where is your faith?” And Jesus distinguished yet another with, “I have not found so great faith.” The measure of faith is given by God, but faith in Jesus Christ is a gift from heaven that comes as we choose to believe and as we seek it and hold on to it. Faith is a principle of power, important not only in this life but also in our progression beyond the veil into the most holy. By the grace of Christ, we will one day be saved through faith on His name. The forthcoming of our faith is not by chance, but by choice. We must realize that if we fail to reason with every word, with any of God’s word, it is a sign that the adversary is destroying our faith. Remember the words of Jesus, “I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not”. We view life’s events through the divine prescription that enables us to have spiritual vision in this world because we view it from the perspective of another world. When we reach perfection we realize that faith has been leading all along to the person of our Lord Jesus, the author and finisher. With believing faith we defy the wisdom of the world that tells us to live for today. Instead we live in the present in the light of the future, and handle everything that is visible in the light of the invisible. To live by faith is not to live by what we can see and feel and touch on the basis of our sense experience, but to live on the basis of what God has said and promised. That is believing faith. It has its epicenter in our Lord Jesus Christ. It takes its practical shape from what God has said and promised in His Word. Learning, understanding, embracing, digesting, and applying every last word of scripture. Everything about us will be assessed by our faith. The basis of our expectation, the proof of what God has prepared. The word is written…we know there is an election…we know the wise will understand…we know the sealing is certain…we know of the time of trouble…we know there will be great plagues, the coming of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords…we know of the thousand years…the lake of fire, the new heaven, the new earth…and by faith we know it is done. 📖 Applying the Study For ongoing spiritual encouragement and prophetical insights, visit Higher Learning.

We share Christ died for every individual in the whole of God’s creation. We all share him because without him there would be no anything. We are hidden with Christ in God. We were known before the creation of the world. We are each of us given the measure of faith needed to be saved. We have the power of choice to love, to hate, to forgive, to repent, to live or to die. The wonder of it all is that God has a people who so desire to share spiritual belief founded only upon scriptural truth. God does not count how many people we lead to Jesus. He measures our faith through our living our lives and how we demonstrate our faith. When we share truth with others our hope is aid in their overcoming difficulty and doubt. We share that we care. We stress spiritual vigil around the heart to keep it from the evil of unbelief. Guard what you read. Guard what you watch. Guard the things you think about. Avoid people, places, and things that will lead into sin. Take care of your heart with all vigilance brothers and sisters. Exhort one another to be faithful. That’s why God puts us in community. As long as there is life in the lungs, there is grace to be had at the cross. We are admonished to go therefore and teach. Let’s not overcomplicate this counsel. Love is even greater than faith and hope. Faith and hope are vital. Faith is what pleases God. And hope is what gets us through life in a fallen, often hopeless world. But love is what fuels our faith. We have faith in Jesus because we love him. And love is what gives us hope. Death may take the body. It will resolve us into our first principles – the first principles are self-evident truths that are the foundation of what we know to be true. They are basic reasonings that cannot be deduced any further, they are priority arguments to the creative power of God. We are a light of heaven united with clods of clay, the dust of the earth. At death these are separated, and each goes to the place whence it came. The spirit does not die with the body. These principles are the first basis from which a thing is known. God holds the spirit of the soul that waits. Our mind holds the memories. Our heart keeps the love. Our faith lets us know we will meet again. Faith is the real knowing of knowledge. It is real certainty of Christ. We know that one day we will see, face to face, the One we love. It is for these principles that we share truth. We are to become aware of and follow the deeper spiritual wisdom that God has placed within us, called the Comforter by Jesus. Love is established in the faith of Jesus. Can this love be shared? The bible is the real word of God. It's His message of love for us and hope and salvation. God is love and Jesus is the Word who is God. We understand him to be “love” in human flesh. Love is what Jesus says will reveal that we are His true disciples. He says this is what we will be known for. Love is what we try to share. It is what we do. There are a lot of issues that are important, a lot of doctrines people like to discuss, to argue over, and theological positions that people might break fellowship over, but Jesus is saying over and above all those things, if we love the people in whose life we are invited, if we love the other people who loves him, it will be clear that we are a follower of Jesus. People don't know us for our love. That’s not what they think of when they think about bible teachers. Jesus tells us that we will be known by our love because that’s not really what we’re known for. Most know us for what we’re against. They think to know us by our theological rules. They know us by what we accept and don’t accept. Most say we’re not like Jesus. We must get better at letting God love others through us. God is raising up a people who are so close to Jesus and so into His word, who are so full of the Holy Spirit, that people will know that Jesus is real because of the love, the caring, the peace that is flowing in our lives to those around us. That is what makes us so different from the world. We are learning to share God’s love like Jesus does, and to love them with the love that He has loved us with. Obedience to the first and second greatest commandments shows how great God is, and how He works through our weaknesses, through our flaws, through our imperfections. We understand that the hand of God is on our life. And because we know that much, we know enough to share Jesus with others. God is ready to use us who are available, who will love Him and are prepared to reach other people. As we sincerely care about people, God will work through us and move in our life in areas that we would have never imagined. God is working in the hearts of His people to fill us deeper with His love and then to bring it to the surface for all to see. What He’s wanting to do in these days is for His people to be serious about truly caring about people and loving them as Jesus loves us. We are given a different kind of love. A love that is not dependent upon return. We become a work in progress. We’re going to be learning and we’re going to be growing, and Jesus is going to be manifesting himself in us until the day we leave this earth to go on to Heaven. It takes the Holy Spirit to love like Jesus. Why? Because it’s not in our nature to love like that. When we love like that, it changes our priorities, it changes our agenda. It changes our friendships and other relationships. It makes our lives different as we begin to love others the way Jesus loves us. With all the means we have today to reach people, to help people, to understand people, how much more does our God have to do to get us to let Him work in our whole lives, in our whole hearts. We need God’s love for our faith to work. As we speak with others, to share what God has been doing in our life, and how He isn’t done with us yet it speaks to people that we’re still being worked on. We don’t have it all together yet, but that doesn’t mean our sharing is without benefit. But we have the confident expectation of God’s faithfulness and future promises. God promises that He will have a finally perfected people. God has predestined His people to be conformed to the image of His Son: that is, to become like Jesus. We all know that when Adam fell he lost much - though not all - of the divine image in which he had been created. But God has restored it in Christ. Conformity to the image of God means to become like Jesus: Christlikeness is the eternal predestinating purpose of God. We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness. What a vision...what a promise, becoming like Christ. From eternal predestination to present transformation. We will be like him. We are to be like Christ in his love. We are to be like Christ in his mission. We are to share biblical truth with those we love. That’s the truth that glorifies Jesus. We must make much of Jesus. We must share difficult truths in a gentle, kind, inoffensive manner – in love. Rather than be spiritually immature and easily deceived, we are to speak the truth to one another, with love, so that we can all grow in maturity. We are to train one another in truth - the foundational gospel truths, truths about who God is and what He has called us to do, hard truths of correction, of doctrine - and our motivation to do so is love. A self-sacrificial love that works for the benefit of the loved one. We speak truth in order to build up. Share what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit listen those who listen. Our words should be beneficial to the hearers of those words. We should share truth in love. We are not to attempt to hide things about ourselves out of shame or in an effort to manage our images. Rather, as those who are part of the same body intended for the same purpose and united by the same love, we should be characterized by honesty. Those who love must speak the truth, must share the truth. We must be characterized by grace and truth. We are called to love those who do not know Christ. The best way we can show love is to share with them the truth of the gospel. We have a message that we must share. We must unapologetically impart knowledge about both truth and love. Remember the question, “what is truth”, and the phrase, “what manner of love”? The truth that God’s people share is “divine revelation”. It is reality that cannot be hidden. Truth is not how we know; truth is what we know. Truth is always there, always open and available for all to see, with nothing being hidden or obscured. Truth is that which corresponds to reality. Truth is that which matches its object. Truth is simply telling it like it is. Truth is unaffected by sincerity. Truth is impervious to desire. Why is it so important to understand and embrace the truth in all areas of life? Because life has consequences for being wrong. Nowhere are the consequences more important than in the area of faith and religion. God is eternal and eternity is an awfully long time to be wrong. In our sharing the truth we must give earnest attention to the enthralling theme of the Father’s love. Though the subject of the greatness of God’s love exceeds all human comprehension, God nevertheless exhorts us to look at it, ponder it, study it, weigh it, meditate upon it, marvel at it, seek to grasp the full meaning of it, and rejoice in it - because out of the mercy of God through our Lord Jesus Christ we have already experienced upon ourselves the bestowal of it. The greatness of God’s love is seen in the manner of that love. What kind of love is this? This love is not the general kindness of the Creator, which in His wise providence He mercifully exercises towards all His creatures. There is a great difference between God’s dealing with us as Creator and His dealing with us as Father. God is not the Father of all men, though He nevertheless is the Creator of all men and all men are under His providential care. But He is the Father of all those who have been born again and who have truly believed in His Son. He is the Father of only these and none others. What, then, is the manner of this love? It is that love which God peculiarly exercises in regard to His own children. It is a love that finds no other cause outside of God. God is gracious to whom He will be gracious. God hates sin and sin is in us. His love for us is not based on any merit on our part. What manner of love? God’s love is without beginning, without end...it is everlasting. Ponder that prayerfully - we unworthy ones are loved with a love that had no beginning and will have no ending. What manner of love! Share this; tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword, death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, nor any other creature! If these cannot separate us from that love, nothing can, for nothing else exists outside of this list. What manner of love! From eternity and out of His free and unchanging grace, the Father appointed His Son to be our Savior. “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” What manner of love! If we would know the manner of God’s love to us and give thought to the depth of it, we must not ignore this wonderful, though mysterious aspect of it. His love towards us is distinguished by being electing love. Our Father has not tried to hide this truth from those whom He loves, for He has written about it plainly in His Word. Scripture says that God has chosen us to salvation. In the face of this great truth all we can do is wonder what manner of love is this. This love could not allow us to lie under the curse and bondage of our sins exposed to the penalty of the holy law. Christ redeemed us. What manner of love! God’s elect experience redeeming grace of the Father’s great love from day to day and are brought to know the meaning of progressive sanctification in their life. The abiding presence of the Holy Spirit - with all His strengthening, guiding, and purifying graces; ever making effectual to each believer the blessed benefits of redemption - assures the constant growth in true holiness of every one of us. The prayer of Christ to the Father, requesting Him to “sanctify us through thy truth”, is sure to be answered in every believer’s experience. What manner of love! We are to share and to teach that the objects embraced by this love is us who are God’s election. We share this hard truth –“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us.” Those who are included in the pronoun us - and only those - are the objects of this great love. It is a sad mistake, as well as a dangerous twisting of scripture, to make this passage refer to everybody in general. We can by no means read every son of Adam into this text; and though we are aware that as we share this truth we shall certainly lay ourselves open to the charge of being narrow and uncharitable in our interpretation. We are compelled by the plain truth to say - and say it with emphasis - that this passage clearly limits the love of God to His chosen election. This great love will never be viewed by us in its proper setting until we have been brought by divine mercy to realize what terrible sinners we are. Then, and then only, shall we who are the predestined stand in wonder that God did not consign the entire lot of us to the second death. Then, and only then, shall we find ourselves utterly amazed that a holy God should so condescend as to be willing to take upon Himself the task of saving us from the ruin of sin. Then, the thing that will forever clasp us in holy astonishment is to discover that such sinners as we were included in that number to be the everlasting objects upon whom He would bestow His Sovereign love. “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us!” This love exceeds and excels all loves, for it is the Father’s love - divine love, out of free and sovereign grace. God loves righteousness and truth. There are three effects of this love that we love to share as the truth. The first – right now are we the sons of God. The word says, “beloved, now are we the sons of God.” The second – as sons we purify ourselves. First made pure by the redeeming blood of Christ applied to our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Then, by God’s grace. A key truth and thirdly - the   world knows us not, because it knew him not. The world will despise our witness. Sharing charitably the truth in love is communally and commonly reflecting upon the experiences of others with doctrinally correctness and that which proceeds from a biblically committed life to a person who wants to know Christ. It is done in love for the benefit of one who needs our commitment to sacrificing life-time to share the treasures of heaven. Sharing the word of God is an act of love for God and others. It helps us to connect more fully with our own faith. Inviting others to share scripture and hearing their histories are effective ways to share the gospel. The spiritual welfare of others matters. We have a responsibility to share the truth in love not only because it is a command, it is saving a soul from death, helping a soul to come to truth, that’s a worthy reason for doing this. We also cover a multitude of sins, which means that the sinning stops instead of it continuing and being exposed before others. We love and because our love is the love of Christ there is no fear of losing friendships or straining relationships. We cannot be judgmental or fear rejection. In sharing the word of God we too are helped to be better people because the words we share are words spoken to our hearts. We must be right with God to help others. We must be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks us a reason of the hope that is in us. We all belong to Christ. We pray before, during, and after our conversation with others. We pray that God would open their hearts to hear truth, we pray while we’re sharing that our words would not fall on a hard heart, and we pray afterward that the dear Holy Spirit would do the work of conviction of sin and convincing of truth to lead those who hear to repentance. We share the word of God to others to give God glory. We are in the last days and they are darkening the hope of far too many people. Dire consequences loom on the horizon of a setting sun. Prophecy fulfilled. The last steps are now being taken. Many are stepping into darkness...few into light. The dark times are blackening. While faith sustains darkening times God’s people, hope for much people is fading. Our sharing can cause them to remember that even in this hostile world they are part of Christ’s family. They can be of one mind in unity, in belief, and purpose. Our choice to submit humbly and share the truth is because it is Christ we are submitting to, loving and serving him through our sharing with others. We set him apart as Lord. This is to recognize his purity, goodness and distinctiveness. He is exalted over creation. This is also clear evidence for Christ’s deity. It is in this life that the decision about Christ and repentance must be made. The truths that are to be shared will be bound in sorrow for the suffering to come. Our words have the sound of tears. Thoughtfully considered and examined, there is no outward manifestation of emotion. These tears have a far different purpose. We weep for the intensity of the trials to be faced. There will be no contention that tears and weeping are only artificial for they will not be seen. These tears will be placed in a bottle. God keeps watch over them. No matter how much of our sorrow goes unnoticed by others, not one moment has escaped the attention of God. Our words are bound up with these unseen tears. As Jesus wept some saw the tears...we heard the tears sharing the word to snatch the people back from death. Jesus stays with us in our sorrow – he comes down into our valley of tears and walks alongside us. He knows every word that is shared by faith. The truths shared will be pure, genuine, containing in themselves the sorrow for a soul lost. The truths that we share are the promises of God to them who receive them that whither they are going, there will be no more sorrow or sadness, and it is a curious circumstance that in the bible wherein are contained all of these promises, the very last time that the word tears is used, as though it would emphasize the fact that they would be done with them forever, is in an assurance that there shall be a place provide where there will be none and no occasion for any. We will keep on sharing the word and gathering with God’s people, even when they don’t understand what we’re going through...what they too will have to endure. We’ll keep on serving others, even while we carry our sorrow wherever we go. And we’ll keep on sowing the seeds of truth and grace into our barren souls, waiting for the day when God takes us home.

fracture The prophetic weight of this moment calls for deep humility and prayer. Leaders must not see themselves as masters over brethren, but as servants washed in the same blood. Families must guard their homes against seeds of resentment, knowing that division in the household multiplies into division in the church. The scattered and the grafted-in must learn to bear one another, not as competitors for honor, but as co-heirs of grace. It is in this crucible of unity that God will prepare a people fit to stand in the time of trouble. The seal of the living God is placed not upon isolated individuals, but upon a body that has learned to love beyond the fractures of race, history, and personal offense. If the adversary succeeds in dividing the last-day family of faith, then he need not enslave them by outward force, for they will have bound themselves with the chains of disunion. But if, by God’s Spirit, they rise above division, then no power of earth or hell can subdue them. Their unity will become their fortress, their love their weapon, and their covenant loyalty their unbreakable bond. And in that unity, the prophecy will be fulfilled: a people once scattered, once enslaved, now risen, now sealed, now unmovable in their devotion to God and one another. Thus, the call is urgent. The family of faith must weep before the altar for healing. They must refuse to let division steal their destiny. They must guard the sacred trust of unity as though it were life itself. For in truth, it is life: the life of the final witness, the life of the sealed remnant, the life of God’s own testimony in the earth. And when they stand, healed and unbroken, the world will behold what no empire could extinguish: a people who cannot be divided, cannot be enslaved, and cannot be silenced, for they are one in Christ and sealed forever in His eternal purpose. Division within the spiritual family is not a passing inconvenience; it is the adversary’s last and most dreadful attempt to break the remnant people of God. As the nations rage and the powers of the earth align for their final assault against truth, Satan knows his time is short. He cannot strip away the faith of those who have been sealed by God’s Spirit, but he can attempt to rupture their bonds of love and scatter them in spirit though they stand together in body. Division is a silent plague, more destructive than persecution, for it tears at the very heart of covenant unity. The deepest betrayals do not come from strangers, but from brothers and sisters, and it is this weapon the adversary aims to sharpen in the last generation. If the family of faith can be fractured from within, their testimony will lose its force, their strength will wither, and their witness to the nations will dim. This is the last-day danger…internal discord. History testifies to this reality with sobering clarity. The wilderness generation, despite witnessing God’s mighty hand, faltered again and again through murmuring, jealousy, and suspicion. Their greatest enemies were not Amalekites or Moabites, but their own tongues and hearts that resisted unity under God’s leading. Later, when Israel was divided into northern and southern kingdoms, the rift was not born from outside invaders but from mistrust and ambition within. The fall of Jerusalem was hastened by the corruption of its leaders and the betrayal of its prophets. Even the early church, filled with the power of fracture Pentecost, was continually threatened by disputes over leadership, doctrine, and cultural identity. Paul’s letters groan with the burden of urging believers to hold fast to the unity of the Spirit, for he knew that division was the surest path to ruin. The testimony of Scripture resounds with this lesson: when God’s people fracture, they become vulnerable; when they stand as one, they are unshakable. This lesson carries prophetic urgency for the scattered people of God in the last days, particularly for those of Black descent whose identity as descendants of the ancient Hebrews has been long suppressed, denied, and obscured. Their history is marked by centuries of exploitation, captivity, and systemic oppression. Yet the prophetic promise declares that never again will they be enslaved, for God has broken the yoke. The awakening to this identity brings not only dignity but also responsibility. To refuse exploitation is a sacred act of obedience to God’s justice, but to avoid division is a sacred act of obedience to His love. Both must be embraced together, for the power of the remnant lies not merely in their liberation from physical bondage, but in their liberation from spiritual fragmentation. The proclamation “never again enslaved” must be matched by the vow “never again divided.” Still, this vow is costly, for wounds run deep. Centuries of betrayal, injustice, and systemic exclusion have left scars that are not easily healed. The temptation is to allow memory to fuel resentment, to turn the testimony of survival into a weapon of suspicion. The adversary would seize upon these wounds, whispering that unity is impossible, that differences are irreconcilable, and that mistrust must remain. The danger is subtle: even as God’s people rise from physical exploitation, they may fall into spiritual enslavement to bitterness and division. It is in this delicate space that reflection must deepen. The remnant cannot afford to confuse vigilance against oppression with hostility toward brethren. They cannot allow the remembrance of pain to eclipse the vision of unity. Healing must not only acknowledge the truth of history but also lift the family of faith beyond it, into the realm of covenantal love where scars become testimonies rather than barriers. The final generation must embody a unity that transcends race, culture, and personal history, without erasing them. This unity does not demand sameness, but harmony. It requires that every tribe, nation, and tongue bring their distinct beauty into a symphony of witness to the Lamb. It demands that the descendants of the scattered Hebrews, while never forgetting the cost of their history, embrace their restored identity with humility rather than superiority. Likewise, those grafted into the covenant must honor the heritage of their brethren without resentment or envy. The strength of the remnant lies precisely in this diversity made holy by love. To fracture along lines of race or culture would be to undermine the very purpose for which God has gathered His people. The nations must see in the remnant not merely individuals who serve God, but a family healed and made one, a living testimony that Christ has triumphed over the divisions of humanity. For this reason, leaders in the final generation bear a sacred responsibility. They must reject the temptation to lordship, for leadership in God’s kingdom is service, not mastery. They must guard against favoritism, knowing that even a hint of partiality can fracture the fragile bonds of trust. They must guide with patience, teaching the people that forgiveness is strength, that humility is power, and that covenant loyalty is the foundation of endurance. The remnant will not endure because they are free of conflict, but because they are free to forgive. They will not overcome because they are free of wounds, but because they are willing to heal together. This is the test of their sealing: to hold fast to one another when every earthly pressure urges them apart. The time is coming when the remnant will stand alone against the powers of the world. Persecution will strip them of outward supports, and the pressure will be intense to turn inward in suspicion or blame. Yet if they are bound together by covenant love, they will not fall. Their unity will be their shield, their harmony their fortress, and their love their unbreakable testimony. The adversary will rage, but he will find no foothold, for his oldest weapon— division—will have been disarmed. The remnant will stand not only as individuals sealed by God, but as a family whose unity bears witness to heaven’s eternal purpose. The reflection required at this hour is therefore both sobering and hopeful. The danger of division is real, but so is the promise of unity. The scars of history are deep, but so is the healing power of grace. Never again enslaved must mean never again divided, for both are chains broken by Christ. If the people of God embrace this truth, they will stand as the unshakable witness of the final generation. They will be a people whom no empire can conquer, no deception can fracture, and no hatred can silence. Their very existence will declare to the world and to the universe: this is the family of God, scattered yet gathered, wounded yet healed, diverse yet one, sealed forever in covenant love. The great controversy that spans the ages has always hinged upon the unity of God’s people. From the beginning, when Adam and Eve fell into disobedience, the harmony of creation was fractured, and the history of humanity became a story of division. Cain’s jealousy of Abel was the first manifestation of that fracture in the human family, and the centuries that followed bore witness to how envy, rivalry, and mistrust spread like a contagion. Yet God’s purpose has never changed. He has always sought to bring forth a people who reflect His own image, not in isolation, but in covenant fellowship with one another. Division, therefore, is not merely a human weakness; it is a direct assault on the fracture divine purpose. To disrupt the unity of the spiritual family is to mar the likeness of God in the earth, and this is why the adversary exerts every effort to sow discord. As the last days unfold, this battle intensifies, for the remnant is called to bear the final testimony of God’s character before the watching universe. Their unity, or their division, will decide whether the testimony shines in brilliance or flickers in shame. The scattered people of God, drawn from every corner of the earth, carry within themselves a history written in suffering and endurance. Among them, the descendants of the Hebrews who were torn from their homeland, sold into slavery, and dispersed through the transatlantic slave trade bear a particularly heavy story. For centuries, they were told they were nothing, stripped of name, culture, and dignity, and reduced to commodities in the markets of men. Yet through it all, God kept the thread of His covenant alive, hidden in their resilience, in their cries to heaven, and in their spiritual songs that carried coded hope. That legacy has awakened in these last days with prophetic force: a people once enslaved now rise to claim their true identity as heirs of the covenant, children of Abraham, and participants in the final work of God’s redemption. The declaration that they shall never again be enslaved is not mere rhetoric; it is a divine verdict rooted in the justice of God and the restoration of His scattered family.  There remains the deeper trial of inner freedom. The adversary knows this, and so his strategy has shifted. He will seek to turn brother against brother, sister against sister, congregation against congregation, until the body of Christ is torn apart from within. This is why the danger of division in the spiritual family is more dreadful than persecution from without. In light of this, the call for reflection is urgent. The remnant must not only celebrate their liberation but also guard their unity with reverence. They must understand that identity without unity can devolve into pride, and freedom without forgiveness can harden into resentment. To truly fulfill their destiny, the people of God must embody a love stronger than memory, a humility deeper than pride, and a loyalty greater than grievance.  The final unity of the remnant is not uniformity, nor is it the erasure of culture and heritage. It is the sanctification of diversity in the light of covenant love. Just as a body has many members with differing functions, so the family of God is designed to contain a multitude of voices, traditions, and experiences. The strength of the remnant lies not in the flattening of fracture these differences but in their consecration to a single purpose: the glory of God and the testimony of Jesus. When every tribe, tongue, and people stand side by side, not as competitors but as companions, then the world will see the reality of the gospel. That sight will itself be a judgment, for nothing so condemns the spirit of this world as the witness of true unity in Christ. This unity requires sacrifice. It demands that any who lead out lay down ambition and refuse the lure of self-exaltation. It calls for all to put aside rivalry and choose forgiveness over resentment. It insists that grievances be laid at the cross, and that personal offenses be swallowed by covenant love. The remnant cannot be sealed while clinging to division, for the seal of God is the imprint of His character, and His character is perfect love. The Spirit will not descend upon a fractured family, nor will He empower a divided body. Only when the people of God resolve to stand together at any cost will they be fit to bear the final message to the nations. The hour is coming, and indeed is upon us, when this unity will be tested as never before. Laws will be passed that threaten the liberty of conscience. Economic and social pressures will mount against those who remain faithful to God’s commandments. The hostility of the world will intensify until the remnant stands stripped of earthly support. In that moment, the temptation to turn inward with suspicion will be fierce. Some will be tempted to accuse others of betrayal, and some will abandon brethren out of fear. The adversary will whisper that trust is dangerous, that love is naïve, and that survival demands separation. Yet if the remnant holds fast to love, if they refuse to let division take root, they will endure. Their unity will be their armor, and their fellowship their fortress. And when the dust of persecution has settled, the remnant will stand. They will not stand as a collection of individuals but as a family, sealed by God, bound together by covenant love, and radiant with the testimony of Christ. Their witness will ring across the earth: a people once scattered but now gathered, once divided but now made one. In them, the universe will behold the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose, and the adversary will see his last weapon fail. Division will have been defeated by love, and the family of God will shine as the eternal proof that His kingdom cannot be shaken. In these closing days, when the world convulses with its ancient complaints and modern inventions of fear, the most urgent peril facing God’s people is the invisible fracture that wounds the soul: division inside the household of faith. It is a quiet, surgical affliction. It is another order of suffering altogether.  Memory lies at the center of the struggle. Those whom God has scattered and preserved across continents carry memories not only of divine mercy but of deep, often generational wounds. This memory produces necessary guardianship: a vigilance against any echo of exploitation. Such vigilance is righteous and must be honored. Yet memory can harden into a stone that cuts. The very recollection meant to secure liberty can be turned by pride or fear into a new cord that binds the heart to suspicion. The work of reclamation must be matched by the work of reconciliation. The spiritual dynamics that give rise to division are subtle. They begin in the ordering of affections. When worship becomes more about proving who is right than about becoming who is made right, charity withers. When theological distinctives are brandished as testaments of opinion rather than invitations to holiness, the stage becomes a battlement against brothers. When grief is exposed only as grievance, testimony degenerates into accusation. And when the language of identity is seized to secure advantage rather than to steward calling, the body fractures along lines that the gospel was meant to heal. These movements are not always loud; often they sound like careful reasoning, righteous indignation, or necessary protection. The devil is most cunning when he convinces the remnant that division is actually preservation. Yet scripture and the history of redemption teach another way. From the earliest pages, God’s design was relational: created male and female, called into covenant with one another, summoned to reflect the triune communion that is the foundation of being. The Bible’s central story is of a God who gathers, unites, and heals. The prophets demanded justice, but always in the context of restoration: Israel’s wrongs were named not for the sake fracture of shame but so that the family might be reconciled. The cross itself is the supreme demonstration that the route to vindication is not triumphalism but self emptying love. If the final generation is to be sealed, it will not be because of doctrinal sharpness alone, nor because of cultural ascendancy, but because of a love that resembles the Savior’s— costly, patient, humble, and truthful. To refuse the possibility of future exploitation must be a settled posture for those who have known bondage; this is not negotiable. That resolve, however, must be disciplined by spiritual maturity. Courage must walk hand in hand with the humility that asks, “How may I be instrumentally useful in repairing what was broken?” The measure of a people’s freedom is how devotedly it pursues reconciliation with those who have offended, failed, or misunderstood it. There is a prophetic responsibility in how memory is carried. When remembrance is animated by mercy, it becomes a river that waters justice. When remembrance hardens into judgmentalism, it becomes a dam that drowns fellowship. Those who lead must understand this delicate stewardship. Leaders are called to discipline the flock toward truth and tenderness, to teach how to remember without weaponizing past hurt, to model the courage that both insists on justice and remains open to sacrificial reconciliation.  This work is spiritual. Corporately cultivated disciplines—regular corporate lament, communal confession, shared meals that cross cultural lines. These rhythms are not social niceties; they are spiritual inoculations. They teach a people how to bear the weight of another’s grief without making it their own burden alone, how to listen without immediately correcting, how to honor without capitulating to false guilt. They form a communal imagination in which diverse gifts do not compete for spotlight but combine for testimony. In such a household the healed become healers, and the freed become gardeners of freedom for others. There will be tests that reveal the depth of such cultivation. When pressure increases, when resources shrink, when fear multiplies, the temptation to hoard influence and privilege will grow stronger. Under such pressure some will reach for power; others will retreat into isolation; still others will perform piety while allowing private resentments to fester. The settled discipline of the remnant will be seen in small, unglamorous choices: the willingness to sit at the same table with a sibling who misunderstands you, the decision to speak charity into a rumor rather than fuel its spread, the readiness to forgo a platform for the sake of a brother’s dignity. It is these quotidian acts of humility that will build an unassailable unity when storms hit. Furthermore, the remnant’s final witness will not be an alliance of homogeneous thought but a mosaic of redeemed difference. Diversity will not be a problem to solve but a testimony to the breadth of God’s mercy. When historical narratives are honored as part of the body’s beauty—subject always to the cross and to truth—the resulting chorus will more faithfully reflect the glory of God. The boasting of any single group diminishes the whole; the mutual exaltation of one another magnifies the Master. That is why the work of unmaking division is also the work of creating new habits of mutual celebration through the sharing of resources that concretely repair brokenness. We must also name the spiritual enemy. Division is not merely a sociological phenomenon; it is a tactic of the adversary. He will mask slander as discernment, pride as principle, and withdrawal as wisdom. He will use legitimate grievances to seed permanent estrangement. fracture The family must resist his smokescreen with spiritual weapons: earnest prayer, prophetic clarity that refuses partisanship, and a doctrine of forgiveness that is neither sentimental nor cheap. Forgiveness is not forgetting; it is the decision to voluntarily disarm the ledger of hurt so that it can be restored to productive relationship. To forgive without seeking justice is to ignore truth; to seek justice without forgiving is to harden the heart. Both must be pursued together until reconciliation is real and durable. There is a cost to be paid in this labor. Reconciliation requires humility, and humility often looks like loss. To choose covenant loyalty over vindication is to surrender the intoxicating elation of being “right” in order to bear the burden of relationship. Yet this surrender is not defeat; it is a form of resistance to the enemy’s plan. The true victory of the remnant will be found not in triumphal assertion of identity but in the cruciform posture that loves even when love is costly. When the family of faith embraces this costly love, it reflects the character of God so vividly that the watching world will be confronted with a truth no political demonstration can equal: the gospel reconciles enmity by giving a new heart to hold two truths at once—justice and mercy, remembrance and release, dignity and humility. Finally, the demand of conscience is immediate. The essay that moves a reader to reform must not merely inform but evict complacency. Each conscience among the faithful is called to examine how memory has been carried, how wounds have been fed or healed, and what small, daily choices might be made toward rebuilding covenant connections. The work does not begin at the highest altar of policy but in the private chambers of apology, in the phone calls that bridge estrangement, in the willingness to be mentored by a brother whose skin and story have been different, and in the resolve to redistribute not only resources but honor. These are the acts that will, by God’s Spirit, constitute a new reformation of the heart. If the remnant heeds this call, the reward will be the establishment of a people whose unity is a living sermon. They will stand when empires fall, not by the might of arms, but by the unshakable testimony of mutual love forged in trial. They will be a people who can say with integrity: never, never again divided. They will be the proof that God’s covenant is not a theory but an enacted reality, a family whose cohesion reveals the character of their Head. May conscience be quickened, may repentance follow, and may the spiritual reformation begin now, in every heart willing to choose the cost of unity for the sake of the final, world-changing witness.   Solomon offers the first and perhaps most striking portrait of revelation, reason, and wisdom in harmony. At the outset of his reign, God revealed Himself in a dream, inviting Solomon to request whatever he desired. Solomon’s reasoning in that moment was sanctified—he did not ask for wealth or power, but for “an understanding heart to judge thy people”. His reasoning flowed from humility and recognition of his insufficiency, and God rewarded him with wisdom unlike any before him. That wisdom was not mere intellectual brilliance but a lived discernment, evident in his famous judgment between the two women who both claimed to be a child’s mother. Revelation set the stage, reason weighed the matter, and wisdom issued forth in a decision that displayed the character of God’s justice. Though Solomon later stumbled, his early reign shows how God’s weighing of these three realities can elevate a man into a vessel of divine truth. Daniel provides another example, one forged in trial and exile. In Babylon, revelation came to him through visions and dreams, mysteries hidden from the wise men of the empire. Yet Daniel did not merely receive revelation passively—he reasoned within himself, sought understanding, and humbly petitioned God for interpretation. His reasoning was never divorced from dependence; he acknowledged that “there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets”. The result was wisdom displayed not only in interpreting dreams but also in his conduct before kings, rulers, and enemies. His wisdom was practical: refusing defilement from the king’s table, speaking truth in perilous moments, and governing with integrity. In Daniel, we see revelation feeding reason, reason birthing prayer, and wisdom shaping a life that stood blameless amid corruption. Paul illustrates the mature culmination of this harmony in the New Testament. Revelation struck him dramatically on the road to Damascus, shattering his former reliance on human tradition and self-righteous reason. Yet God did not discard Paul’s intellect; He sanctified it. Paul’s reasoning, sharpened by Scripture and illumined by the Spirit, became a tool for unfolding the mystery of Christ to Jew and Gentile alike. His letters breathe this balance—soaring in revelation - “caught up to the third heaven”, disciplined in reason - logical argumentation in Romans, and rich in wisdom - practical exhortations to live by the Spirit. Paul shows us that revelation without sanctified reasoning can lead to fanaticism, and reason without revelation can harden into unbelief, but when both are fused and borne out in wisdom, the gospel becomes irresistible. In these three figures, God demonstrates that He weighs revelation, reason, and wisdom not in isolation but in their harmony. Solomon shows their flowering in leadership, Daniel shows their preservation in exile, and Paul shows their transformation in mission. Each testifies that God’s people are never called to choose one over the other, but to walk in their fullness, where divine disclosure, sanctified intellect, and holy living converge. In the final generation, the union of revelation, reason, and wisdom will reach its highest and most urgent expression. Revelation will come in the form of God’s final messages to the world—the everlasting gospel, the three angels’ messages, and the sealing truths that distinguish His remnant. These are not human inventions but divine disclosures, truths too weighty for speculation and too urgent for indifference. Yet God entrusts these revelations to human vessels, demanding that they not only receive them but rightly divide them. Here reason assumes a sanctified role, for the last generation must discern between truth and deception amid a flood of counterfeit revelations, false signs, and distorted teachings. Reason, submitted to the Spirit, will enable them to test all things, to recognize the difference between the voice of God and the subtle whispers of the dragon, beast, and false prophet. But revelation and reason alone will not suffice in the time of crisis. Wisdom must crown their testimony, for the world will not be persuaded merely by words or arguments but by lives that embody God’s truth. Wisdom in the final generation will appear as holy living under impossible pressure—patience in persecution, purity in corruption, love in a world grown cold. The sealed remnant will manifest wisdom not only in what they say but in how they endure, how they love their enemies, and how they reveal Christ in their character. This wisdom is not of the world, nor is it detached philosophy; it is the Spirit of Christ dwelling within, turning revealed truth into lived reality. It is this union of revelation, reason, and wisdom that will make them God’s final witnesses, living epistles read by all nations. Thus, in the last days, God weighs these three not as options but as essentials. Revelation will cut through the lies of Babylon, reason will steady the mind against confusion, and wisdom will silence the accuser by the testimony of holy lives. Together, they form the unbreakable seal of God upon His people. Just as Solomon, Daniel, and Paul each embodied this harmony in their time, so the 144,000 will embody it in fullness, becoming the living proof that God’s ways are just and His truth sufficient. The final generation will not exalt one above the other but walk in their unity, reflecting the image of Christ Himself, in whom revelation, reason, and wisdom perfectly converge. Unbreakable
