Basic Rule 6

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5

For this is the will of God, your sanctification:

King James Dictionary

Sanctification: The Act of Making a Thing Pure and Holy.

Matthew 6:9-13

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

God’s will is done in heaven because every angel that opposed God’s will has been removed from His presence because of rebellion.

We are not physically in heaven and as such God’s will is preparing us for that day by the process of sanctification. 

Psalm 5:7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you.

Psalm 10:13 Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”?

Romans 2:4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

The only way to avoid repentance is to stop sinning.

1 Corinthians 6:20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

If we obey to glorify ourselves our heart is not right towards doing the will of the Father.

Nehemiah 9:17 They refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them.

Basic Rule 5

John 1:1 The Word Became Flesh

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

His Word is not just mere words.

Psalm 4:2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah

The source of words is all that matters.

Isaiah 59:21

“And as for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My Spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children’s offspring,” says the Lord, “from this time forth and forevermore.”

Who do we listen to these days?

John 12:47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

John 12:48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

Matthew 4:4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Every word is available to us to fulfill God’s will for us.

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Psalm 18:30 This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
