What does God Require of You?

Seek the LORD, all you meek of the earth,
Who have upheld His justice.
Seek righteousness, seek humility.
It may be that you will be hidden
In the day of the LORD's anger.

Zephaniah 2:3

EVERYTHING. And nothing.

Everything and Nothing is a pretty good answer...

Why is it a good answer????


If we're talking about The Living God, God of Abraham, Moses etc. Father of Christ Jesus, YahWeh, Jehovah, Elohim, Abba well with HIM there's The New Covenant...

Christ Witnesses "...Ye MUST Be Born-Again" in John 3:7; and in John 14:6 "...No man Cometh Unto The Father but BY ME!"

That's what it's all about... The reason for which mankind was Redeemed and why Jesus Brought us The Gospel. All stated very plainly in Matthew 22:1-14 "The Kingdom of Heaven os like unto a Certain King WHO Made A Wedding Feast For HIS Son".

If you would BE HIS, you've got to find it in your heart to Trust HIM Fully with all you are and all you ever will be. You gotta give HIM your life and surrender your will Unto HIS.

God also gave you Free Will. HE can't require this of you.

You either love HIM enough and Trust HIM enough to Take Action or you don't.


Jesus concludes the parable of The King's Wedding Feast with this: "For many were Called, but few are Chosen!"


All of the "called" (invited) were Chosen by God. Only a few chose-elected to Answer HIS Call.... Only the few Took Action and Came Unto The Father.


Jesus Says IT ALL in Matt 7:21-23 In 21 HE Says: "...I only KNOW those persons who DO The Will Of MY Father Which Art In Heaven". In verse 22, some Christians who did "Miracles, Cast-Out demons, and Prophesied In HIS Name" ask for entry unto Heaven. Jesus Says: "Depart from ME, you who work iniquity: I KNOW YOU NOT!"

Iniquity is following self-will rather than God's Will. HE Don't KNOW those Christians because, despite all they did In HIS Name; they never Came Unto The Father.


Jesus Made The Way For US; IF We Would Live In Relationship with HIM and The Father. God's Will is different for each of those who are HIS...


Maranatha!!!

honesty

There is no greater honesty in matters of the alleged God than agnosticism. Everything else is just PRETENDING to know. There IS legitimately unexplained phenomena, but we don't SERIOUSLY know what's really going on.

The not knowing how is half the excitement

Actually...

If you surrender self and will Unto The Father HE Enables you to KNOW and DO HIS Will.

HE Says through HIS Prophet Ezekiel, in ch 36, v26-27, "I Will replace your stony-heart and Give You A New Heart Of Flesh" HE Is Saying your New Heart Will BE Of HIS Flesh! HE Further Says: "I Will Put MY Spirit Within You"

So...KNOWING and Living Your Life Aligned and In Accord With God IS What Father Desired To Make Possible For Us BY Sending Christ Jesus. HE Desires To KNOW HIS Creation In Personal and Direct Relationship.

God's Will IS ALWAYS Perfect!

KNOWING God means you don't have to try and figure it all out. HE WILL Tell You... But you will find your concerns about life change once you KNOW God and Have Been In HIS Presence.

He expects a lot of me, and I biff it continually.

Know WHO Christ Jesus IS?

If So... Then, you're correct; HE has Given You that Knowledge to serve as your "invitation To HIS Wedding Feast". This reference ties into Jesus' "WHO Do YOU Say I Am?" question to The Apostles (Matt 16:13-20) and The Invitation To The Wedding Feast refers to Matt 22:1-14.

Point of my witness here to you is: Knowing WHO Jesus IS is The Father's Call-Out to you, your invitation to Come Unto HIM, Become Born-Again, and live your life and after In HIM, With HIM, and Through HIM.


Nobody can not "boff it" until after The Father Gives them "A New Heart Of HIS Flesh" and HE "Puts HIS Spirit Within You" which HE Says HE Will Do in Ezekiel 36:26-27

Gonna cite St. Paul on your sig line? Take a few minutes and read the passages referenced above.

St. James Says "Faith without works is dead!" The "works" he's referring to is Coming Unto The Father. Got to Take Action to make your Faith alive.

Faith.

That's all you can do
"Do unto other's as you would
have them do unto you. -Yahweh

Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"
Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

John 6:28,29

Nothing. I don't have a parent/child relationship with God. Grow up.

I agree! God doesn't "require" anything of us. it's more a matter of principles...........Understanding vibrational frequency, with the Source of All that Is, being the highest, most pure frequency there can ever be. The more in line with that, that we are..... the more connected to "Father" we are. Jesus showed us how to do this.

Sadly, his teachings have been all but lost over the centuries.

answer:

the righteousness of Christ

- the only way you get that (his righteousness) is imputed (Romans 4:22-24)

Everything. From before my first breathe, to most likely my last breathe, God has forced me to live a crucified life of proverbial sackcloth and ash.

Every moment of happiness, well doing, fortune, joy, genuine friendship, love, passion and excellence, God(Father and Son) has required as a sacrifice.
