i don't understand much of what you said. i keep my body clean, and i just know that Jesus brightened my mind and i could understand things that i didn't know before. i have read some of the bible and it makes sense. i read some verses every day and they help me see that i was off track the day before or when ever.
so far i don't see a big mystery in it. it's from God and i want to do what he says is right. i'm learning each day what that is, it's totally the opposite form what i thought was ok. but i see the whole world differently now.
is that what you mean?
i don't know what you mean that things will happen to trick me into losing my faith. lots of things have happened. that doesn't change my faith in God. every day i believe more in him.
who do i have to put to death? i idk what you're talking about. for sure i don't know what you mean that maybe i would tricked into thinking i am a christian when i'm not.
i don't understand anything you're saying.
Actually that is not quite the way it works, either. Many are tricked into believing they are the elect of God when they are not. The elect is the remnant out of natural Israel to serve in Christ with a remnant out from the Gentiles, and together, they as firstfruits with Christ make up the holy sanctuary part of God's temple. Until they actually perfected their holiness in Christ, they were as the under-priests of the Levitical priesthood, not allowed into the holiest of holies part of the sanctuary along with their high priest who is Jesus. There only approach to God was through him until they come out from under the mere imputation of holiness and have completed putting God's holiness fully on. Only then do they have direct approach to God.
But you are likely not of that elect sanctuary of God. Your place should have been taught you as beginning in the courtyard, which used to be separated by a wall of division so that the Jews had the inner courtyard (as they were the first who God began to work with for salvation), and the Gentiles had the outer courtyard.
Since that wall that divided the two courtyards was torn down by Christ ending the enmity of the flesh, nailing that Old Law Covenant to the cross with him at his death, since that time there has existed only one courtyard for both Jew and Gentile.
When Gid first calls His elect, it is to that courtyard that He calls them, and then from that courtyard, after he examines their heart, He chooses them as His elect to become a part of Christ as the holy sanctuary part of the temple where they receive that rejuvenation by outpouring of Holy Spirit which renders them firstfruits with Christ.
In the courtyard they were relying only on the spirit that is on God's word, and did not yet have that outpouring.
These are the ones who come out of the Great Tribulation having washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb by faith. And their hope is that new earth which God has promised.
The elect are the 144,000 that were chosen from out of that courtyard pictured by the Israel there in Revelation chapter 7:3-8.
We see those that remain of that courtyard coming out of the great tribulation at Revelation 7:9, 14 (as in many other places in the scriptures).
The stand before God's throne upon which Christ and that 144,000 sit with Christ at the right hand of God.
They are able to stand before that throne because, Acts 7:49 "Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?"
Here is what this following verse foreshadowed:
1 Chronicles 28:2 "Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building."
The Ark of the Covenant pictures the throne of God were Christ sits at God's right hand along with the cleansed to holiness 144,000.
You are in that house built as God's footstool, indeed, that Ark's footstool.
Psalms 132:7 "We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool."
We see that of the non-elect at Revelation 7:15-17 worshiping God at the tabernacle or house, upon God's footstool which is this entire earth.
In verse 17 there, we see that they are being cared for and fed from God's word and drinking in life to bring them to holy perfection from the living fountains of waters, which are that 144,000 elect of God in Christ sitting at the right hand of God.
Many will fight against seeing this picture but you can choose to dig deeper into your Bible to prove to yourself whether it is true, if you only want to.
It is much easier just to follow what is popular. But that is a risky gamble.
Peace be with you as you consider this information, in the name of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.
