Perhaps that is why faith is so hard but so important--in our mortal world seeing is believing, but in the spiritual world believing is seeing.

But that is not what God requires us of mostly, gifts are good and everyone is gifted in one way or the other inherently from his mother's womb probably even before then. God requires of us mostly to have fruit and and fruit is what will inherent the kingdom of God as very well expressed in Galatians chapter 5 and it's that fruit of the spirit that was represented by pomegranate on Aron's garment of priesthood. It's very common people bearing no fruit but still remain with gifts, we have seen this where some non believers could be even possessing gifts. Jesus is very clear on that in John 15, that every branch that bear no fruit (fruit but not gift) shall be cut off and later be burnt.<br />As christians we are ought to mind much on bearing fruit and then gifts also.<br />Gifts without fruits make senseless noise instead of doing communication as they out to do, because the acts will be denying your gifts if you have no fruit between your gifts.<br /><br />I thank you for sharing, God's blessings to you all 🕊️ 🕊️Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645373788147999655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-17005958985607269732021-10-31T09:08:41.074-07:002021-10-31T09:08:41.074-07:00His walk equalled his talk.

Something like squeezing a lemon into a mixture of cooking ingredients that would otherwise cook up lifeless and bad-tasting. Not much to do with holy anger, to my mind, everything to do with redeeming love.<br /><br />It baffles my mind that this transfer of eternal life occurred, could occur, only via His brutal death, but my spirit says "Yup, that's the only way".

In truth if we are looking at Jesus to be splendid in physical appearance then truly we are missing the mark! Even if Jesus looked like the huntchback of Notre Dame when he was on the earth. Does that take anything away from his Character and who he is being God our Creator who looks not at the outward appearance but at the Heart.Certainly Not! If we desire Jesus to receive us who bore our Infirmities and did not look at our outward appearance should we not also desire Jesus according to who he is and not how he looked. Indeed. I commend the man who that beautiful message at the top according to the full truth and context of the Scripture. And this is the Command says the Lord not a new one but an old one if you want Jesus to accept you not according to how you look. Should you not accept Jesus and not according to how he looked but according to who he is.

The spikes then were fired to be hardened (sealed) and then hammered into the wall to be a constant reminder of the contract. Christ has a covenant with each of us which was sealed by spikes driven through his palms into the "wall" of the cross.
