Psalm 118:14-17
The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
I will not die, but live,
And tell of the works of the Lord.
The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
I will not die, but live,
And tell of the works of the Lord.
Question? After salvation begins sanctification. How does the Believer grow in grace in the knowledge of Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18)? 1. How are we blessed? 2. Who blesses us...God or Jesus?
Next question? Since I am complete in Christ, how does the Believer which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake (which guarantees us the benefits of Calvary {Rom. 6:3-5}, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh (2 Cor. 4:11). In other words, how are we guaranteed the Life of Christ - Gal. 2:20. So then death works in us, but life in you (2 Cor. 4:12).

1 abide in the words of Jesus Christ, take them to Heart all of them even if thier difficult to grasp or accept, cling to them as the truth of God and you will notice how often He says " you must do these things. or Obey my commands" thats How we Grow towards God to abide in the Word of Jesus Christ.
2 the blessing Comes from God, through the High priest it has always been that way, Jesus is the High priest of God. notice Melchezidek came out to meet abram, carrying bread and wine? and that He then blesses abram in the name of God. Blessings originate from God and are delivered By the authority on earth. remember that God commited all things to Jesus and gave Him all authority on earth and in Heaven. and that He is right beside God, advocating for us and interceeding for us and because He suffered for our sins, God will accept anyone Jesus approves.
3 thats explaining the benifit of Jesus death. its the theme of paul tallking about " the old man the sinner, who went under the water to symobolize participation in Jesus death, and then the new creation who was raised up from the water to symbolize our participation in the resurrection. if you read on there paul is explaining the truth that our old nature of sin died with Jesus, and our new nature came to us through His resurrection when He ascended to God He then shed the spirit forth into the world so that we can receive Godsspirit in us which makes us His children. paul continues on to explain if we understand we died With Jesus on the cross ( that is our old sinful nature) then through the resurrection we too are quickened in our mortal here and now bodies to live as children of God, to be like Jesus.
ou are gusranted salvation when you are standing before the throne and Jesus says " welcome Home my good and faithful servant, come and receive your inheritance in the Kingdom prepared for you since the beginning of the World." that is accomplished again by abiding in His doctrine, meaning His teachings, He is teaching us how to live right before God and because of our inclusion in the resurrection and our receiving the spirit, were able to do that now, were able to abide in His Word and learn to obey His ways His teachings are the answer you are looking for Here. spend daily time in the teachings of Jesus and take thenm to Heart soak up all the grace and Love He speaks and also all the instruction He gives and the importance of His words that He stresses time and time again. remember this
john 3:5-6 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

V 20-24 "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
its all truly about the 4 gospels everything else supports the gospel, the ot is promising the messaih who would bring salvation and the true Words of God, and the nt is all a testimony that Jesus is the messiah and He came. the rest is all for our learning and growth, we grow in Christ through learning and believing and therefore Keeping His words and letting them work in us
consider that God created the World and all that is in it by speaking it forth, that is the power of Gods Word, the same principle is true of all of Gods Word in the Gospel, that will save us if we follow where He leads God bless

I was a wandering sheep
I was a wandering sheep,
I did not love the fold;
I did not love my Shepherd's voice,
I would not be controlled.
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home;
I did not love my Father's voice,
I loved afar to roam.
The Shepherd sought His sheep,
The Father sought His child;
They followed me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild:
They found me nigh to death,
Famished and faint and lone;
They bound me with the bands of love,
They saved the wandering one.
Jesus my Shepherd is;
'Twas He that loved my soul,
'Twas He that washed me in His blood,
'Twas He that made me whole;
'Twas He that sought the lost,
That found the wandering sheep,
'Twas He that brought me to the fold,
'Tis He that still doth keep.
I was a wandering sheep,

But now I love my Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold.

But now I love my Father's voice,
I love, I love His home.
Amen.
