A Devotional Life

The Word of God reveals God in several ways: »Through His acts, and »Through His commands. We can speak of whom He is through these revealing ways. The bible reveals that: God is Love [1 John 4]... God is Gracious [grace] [Hebrews 4]... God is Justice [Deuteronomy 32]... God is Mercy [Psalms 51,136]... God is Wrath [Nehemiah 1]... God is Good [Psalms 100,106]... ... All these are embedded in one: His Holiness; which reveals his totality, his divine identity [Revelation]. His acts and commands of love, grace, wrath, ... are due to his nature of Holiness. This nature of God is heritable [and it's a process that is very much viable - Sanctification Process] You could attempt love without His divine nature, you could be merciful without His divine nature, anyone could try to be good, BUT without brokeness, without His Sanctification Process, you CANNOT be holy, because it is inputed not collected. A revelation in the beatitude [Matthew 5] is that it talks about one thing [...

Philippians 4:6-7 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Luke 17:12-19 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, "Go shew yourselves unto the priests.

" 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, "Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? " 18 "There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this st...

A mark set on a thing or object identifies it and could distinct it from others. The bible in some sciptures, implies two different kinds of marks; the mark of bondage and the mark of freedom. Genesis 4:15; God set a mark upon Cain; an indication that He bears a curse, so that no one attempts to kill him. It could be misinterpreted that the essence of the mark in the case of Cain was to protect him from death, but NO, that was not the indication. This was because God had cast him out of HIS presence, and therefore God had no responsibility or divine protection over him. Genesis 4:16 But thank God for the Blood of Jesus (the blood of redemption), and the Grace unleashed. Now we are free to enter into God's presence boldly and obtain grace and mercy (as we bear the mark of freedom). This was the revelation behind the statement of confidence in Galatians 6:17.
