when we close our eyes there is our own spirit inside of our body. now we know that we also have our body of flesh and that our spirit dwells inside it. our spirit says to our body "get up and put your clothes on" and our body obeys the voice of our spirit and does so. our spirits voice say to our hand "brush your teeth" and our hands get the toothpaste and the toothbrush and begins to do so.
(pardon me if i explain this in a mundane fashion),,,i know this is something we all understand. we do this very thing though without considering it much though and so we take the process for granted(seeing we've all done this from birth),,but the process,since this is the fashion of our created creature is the same in the deeper matters as in the simple ones.
as if a man get's in an airplane and moves it's control's and the airplane when told by the man "turn left" turns left or "fly straight" it obeys,,,the same if you say to your hands with your spirits voice "put the bread in my mouth",your hand does not pick it up and rub it in your hair instead. that is your body of flesh is a faithful servant to your spirit and always obeys your spirits voice.
the same your body obeys your spirits voice as to the way it believes in salvation. that is one person looks at the cross and see's the Crucifixion and says in their spirits mind "the lord has saved me on the cross,i by grace have obtained salvation",,,now past the belief that Jesus has purchased salvation for them what thing will this person's spirit say to their body of flesh to do? will the spirit of the one who believes that they have been saved say to their body "do this and you will be saved"?,,,you see they will have no need to do so.
that is since they believe that the lord saved them at the cross and that this work is complete will instead say to their body "leap with joy,sing the song of thanks that my spirits heart is singing" and this is the work that this person's spirits lips will have their body's flesh jump up and begin to do. this person's spirit says to their body of flesh "rest from your works of salvation,it is complete and whole,rest from your works in the rest of the lord",,,you will see them doing these works,the very thing their spirit believes they will tell their body to do.
and again their is another person,and they recite the words they have heard over and over. they say out of their mouths "the lord is my Savior",,,and they say to their tongue "make the noises that say the lord is crucified for my salvation" and their body of flesh obeys and makes the noises,but something is left wanting.
if you watch them real close,although they recite the things they hear the others say from the scriptures they also say to their bodies of flesh "dig through the scriptures to see what work needs to be done by me to obtain salvation",,they says to their body with their spirits lips "if i tell my body to do this today then i am saved,but if i do not tell my body to do it i am not",,,they say to their body "today eat this and you will be saved",,and tomorrow they say "do not eat this and i will be saved",,,you see in their spirits mind,though they say with their mouths Jesus is their Savior their works the same confess what they in truth believe.
that is they are not at rest from their works unto salvation. day after day they think of a new thing to be done to receive they very salvation they say aloud to everyone that Christ gave them. there is never rest from the carnal law once the person begins to preform the works of self salvation they are condemned to keep the whole law and day after day say to their body to preform another work to become saved(Galatians 5;3)
these are those who have made grace of no effect(Galatians 5;4)one has their hands out cupped together like a bowel and that person is praying and hoping for salvation. on the other hand the other person has his hands held out cupped like a bowel and their has are full of the hope of salvation. one is still under the yoke of the law and the other the yoke is removed. one is in peace and the other is in agony one is still under the schoolmaster,while the other not,,,
rest from the works of the law there is no need to say to your body do the works of saving your own selves when it is proper to say to your body with your spirits lips Jesus has preformed the work of your salvation. none will seek a Savior if he has complete belief that he is the possession of the Savior,and all who cannot confess that the works of salvation are complete in the Crucifixion of Christ will seek after a salvation seeing they do not believe it exist,,,,,these are the two laws one applies to the one and the other the others are bound to,,,
