shittim seems ready to consider the encounter between God and humans, so I will share the beginning of the next part of the website entitled "Spiritual Dynamics", which gets into that topic. I am trying to be systematic or thorough, so I start with babies.

Interaction between God and humans begins primitively when selfish but innocent babies attain the stage of moral accountability or conscience (normally about the stage of pre-pubescence), comparable to when Adam and Eve became aware it was wrong to eat from the forbidden tree (Gen. 2:17). At this stage a soul’s relationship with God begins in an impersonal way when the person exercises God’s seeking grace to becomes a truthseeker, because God’s Spirit is Truth (1John 5:6) and seeking salvation satisfies the command of Jesus regarding saving faith (Matt. 7:7), although the sinner does not know it (Rom. 1:17)

As a truthseeker at any time in history contemplates creation, Paul indicates that they will be able to discern God’s being and loving will in nature (Rom. 1:20, 2:14-15, Gal. 5:14) by means of what theologians call general revelation. When they realize that God has a moral requirement, if they worship Him they become like Abraham, and the relationship with God becomes personal (Rom. 4:1-25). Presumably God provides such believers the opportunity to learn the proto-gospel, so they may repent of sin and accept the pre-incarnate sacrifice of Christ, whether in the form of Abraham’s ram (Gen. 22:13) or Moses’ lamb (Exo. 12:21).

Rom. 5:6-11 says that while we were powerless (unable to save ourselves via works per Rom. 3:9-20), Christ died for the ungodly or sinners or God’s enemies, so that believers (Rom. 3:22-26) are justified or reconciled and saved from God’s wrath. This includes all of humanity potentially, comparable to how humanity became sinners following the original trespass (Rom. 5:15-21). Presumably, God provides pre-Christian believers the opportunity to hear the gospel of Christ in a pre-NT and pre-Abrahamic or provisional form (cf. the proto-gospel), so they may repent of sin and accept the pre-incarnate One God/ Christ as Lord (John 8:42, 1John 1:3-4).

Paul spoke of the Mosaic Law being for the purpose of convicting souls of sin as preparation for the future coming of Christ and the full Gospel (Rom. 3:19-20, 5:20 & 7:6, Gal. 3:19&24,) The Law or Old Covenant is the second dispensation of revelation. Rom. 5:1-21 clarifies that faith in God by which we are justified or deemed righteous (v.1) is mediated by Jesus Christ, who graces us with hope despite suffering and with love by the inpouring of the Holy Spirit (v.2-5), so that we may reflect God’s love.

At the moment of repentance/saving faith, the Spirit of Christ/God’s Holy Spirit enters the believer’s spiritual heart (Rev. 3:20)–again even though they do not realize it–because Paul taught that whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Christ (Rom. 8:9). Of course, partial knowledge of God’s Word will limit ability to cooperate with Him, so there is a need for evangelism and learning the full Gospel (Matt. 28:19-20). If a moralist truthseeker (on the basis of general revelation) is taught about God (perhaps via the OT), then he/she may choose to believe in God or become a theist. If theists are taught the Gospel (NT), then they may choose to believe/accept Jesus as Christ. In both cases salvation is a gift/grace from God received by faith “from first to last” (Rom. 1:17).

Yes, and God made male and female aka humanity for the purpose of giving them the opportunity to fellowship with Him in heaven,
but many of them beginning with A&E ignored GW and made history into a monster movie called KOTH (king of the hill).

For a good Man of God being the only good inside .

But Not for A good Person How we use words is key to speaking true with power. By using word men saying the lack power but appear true or smart others a fooled by education of men. That's the only reason why I bring it up. Most that say JesusChrist is lacking only because it a copy of a saying
Truth is They Do Not Know What Christ means most cases .at least say Jesus The Christ Words are life and death So best as speak life with authority and power as Peter full of the Holy ghost

The relationship between Believers/Christians and God may be viewed as having three stages: conversion, spiritual growth or maturation (Eph. 4:13), and glorification (1Pet. 5:10) or immortality (1Cor. 15:53) in heaven. The kerygmatic prayer that is necessary in order for a sinner be saved and walk with God is confession (1John 1:9, Psa. 32:1-5). Because a convert's commitment to Christ is in accordance with God's perfect will (1Tim. 2:3-4), the moment of Spirit baptism fulfills the command to be filled with the Spirit (in Eph. 5:18), which means to cooperate fully with the love of God (Eph. 3:16-19).

The moment or stage of conversion may be described grammatically as occurring in the past: we were saved when we repented/received the baptism of the HS. From the moment of repentance onward begins the second stage of growth, discipleship (Acts 14:22) or sanctification (2Thes. 2:13), which is present progressive: it is the process of being saved now. This stage has two phases: instability and maturity.

A new convert does not achieve immediate perfection by remaining filled with the HS (Phil. 3:12). Instead, the combination of temptations, ignorance of GW and the old selfish nature results in immature saints committing post-conversion sins, at which time they are carnal or acting like unbelievers (1Cor. 3:1).
Unfortunately, some saints may not appreciate the process of spiritual growth or being transformed by the renewing of their minds (Rom. 12:2), perhaps because it involves admitting sins or having “guilt trips”. Guilt is like a warning light, and until we gain the wisdom to welcome God’s reproof, we will not feel the satisfaction of becoming a new and improved version of ourselves (Heb. 10:19-22). Thus, guilt is good (John 9:41). Woe to the one who become so callous that no guilt is felt when wrong is done (Matt. 13:14-15)!

The unstable phase is followed eventually by a second phase in a believer’s relationship with God’s HS of relative maturity, signified in the Bible (especially the KJV) by the phrase “walking with God” (cf. Enoch in Gen. 5:24) or walking in light (1John 1:7). Paul also described this phase as walking in love (Eph. 5:2), in a new life (Rom. 6:4) according to the Spirit (Rom. 8:4) and in good works (Col. 1:10).

Like physical walking, spiritual walking has two steps. The first step is listening to God (LGW), and the second step is responding to or cooperating with God. God’s message for mankind is revealed partially by the world He has created but more fully by the Scriptures He has inspired. The crux of God’s Word is the Gospel of salvation (kerygma), while the secondary teachings (didache) consist of the manifold applications of the law of love (1John 3:11). The Believer’s main types of responses to God’s Word are prayer to God and good works unto others for God (cf. 1John 4:20, Eph. 2:10).
 
The main purpose of this thread is to discuss Scriptures explaining how humanity can experience and fellowship with the Holy Spirit of God/Christ,
which correlates with learning God’s Holy Word. Achieving this goal requires systematic study of New Testament doctrines including spiritual dynamics, prayer and sanctification.
When Jesus preached about moving from death to a "fruitful" love life, the Gospels recorded His words using the Greek equivalent, karpophoreo (καρποφορέω) [To bear fruit / be fruitful], which carries the exact same spiritual meaning as the Old Testament Hebrew word Parah.
If Jesus spoke Hebrew or Aramaic in His daily teaching, He absolutely referenced the concept of Parah, but the written scriptures preserve it through these Greek terms:

1. The Greek Equivalent to Parah: Karpophoreo [1]
In the Greek New Testament, the exact concept of Parah (to branch out, increase, and bear fruit) is translated as Karpophoreo or Karpos (fruit).
  • The True Vine: When Jesus says in John 15:5, "He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit," the Greek word used for bringing forth fruit is the direct conceptual match to the Old Testament Parah.
  • The Good Soil: In the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:23), Jesus describes the heart that hears the word and "bears fruit" (karpophoreo), multiplying thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold. This is the exact definition of Parah—taking root and naturally multiplying. Why the Shift from Hebrew to Greek?
  • Old Testament Hebrew: The word Parah appears 29 times in the Hebrew Bible, starting with Genesis 1:28 ("Be fruitful and multiply"), representing God's natural and spiritual blessing
  • God is Love

So while you won't find the exact letters P-A-R-A-H in the red letters of the New Testament, Jesus taught the exact lifestyle of Parah—urging us to leave spiritual deadness behind so the Holy Spirit can make us overflow with perfect love and supernatural fruitfulness.
This is The base
God is Love
Maybe know why the greatest commandment is Love This should open the door to Love exceeding All Commanments and yes it's written in books and in His Own

Yes, fruit seems to be synonymous with love per Gal. 5:6 & 22-23.

"So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear."Mark 4:26-28 (KJV)
Watch this deep-dive breakdown of the Parable of the Growing Seed to better visualize how God quietly multiplies His word inside your heart:
The Principle of the Broken Seed (John 12:24)
A seed cannot multiply while it stays safe inside the bag. Jesus explained the law of Parah multiplication using His own life:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."John 12:24 (KJV)
  • The Lesson: Jesus is the ultimate seed. For His life to multiply inside you, your own ego, fears, and flesh must "die" to give His seed room to burst open and grow.
The Abiding Law (John 15:4-5)
You cannot force yourself to be fruitful. Fruit is a natural byproduct of your connection to the source.

Well, God does not force anyone to be saved or fruitful. God initiates grace; sinners cooperate—or not. Do not divorce fruit from fruit!
