The Truth Is...

KING DAVID is an interesting, widely variable, diverse study, with much amplitude, writing not only in the Psalms but much more.

Considering his writing about David in 2 Sam. 23:1-5, we can clearly see how he leans upon his Lord for grace and understanding:

So, read and see this one verse as a base of “All of David's heart's desire” – 2nd Sam. 23:5: “But first read Verses 1, 2, 3, 4;” About how the Lord spake by His Spirit unto him; that He who ruleth over men, must be just, and ruling in the fear of God!

Now V 5: “Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.” This seemingly requires consideration of the many N.T. texts that are teaching GROWTH, and such is true; but certainly not, as is being preached by “the many,” who say that the “growth” is eternal, when in reality it is ONLY GOSPEL, TIMELY growth in knowledge of the Finished Work of Jesus Christ, which IS eternal.

We have a King over us Who rules in heaven, and in the midst of His Church; Who rules in righteousness, Who is Mighty to save, and Who is the Rock of Israel, traveling in the greatness of His strength, even Jesus Christ our Lord!

And so, faith begins with God, who having love, who having lovingly planted it in us when we were born again, and who faithfully witnesses. Truth in our souls, that we are his children so we may join in witnessing with him through the same. It is this faith, as core love and truth pertaining to the reality of God and our relationship with Him, that resides in our souls and convicts our minds through conscience to believe and trust in God. As such, believing faith. Proceeds from the Heart (soul), to the mind and not from the mind to the heart.

 

The ORDER OF JESUS’ LEGAL WORKS are:

1. Redemption – Blood, according to “Contract.”
2. Justification – according to “Contract.”
3. Reconciliation – Peace – according to “Contract.”
4. Atonement – Death – completes “Contract.”
5. Resurrected – Forever – “Contract” is now history.

Now go read – Heb. 13:20; Acts 2:24; John 10:16. 29.

There are no variations in any form to this initial Covenant (Contract) including numerical. It was so, fixed

BEFORE the foundation of this Time World. The true “rightly divided” Gospel only “tells about” all of this. Rev. 5:9.
