If you prayerfully search and study the scriptures well enough to see through the eyes of the spirit of revelation in the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, you will come to understand that there are lots of self incriminate and self disqualifying attitudes and false steps with lifestyles or conversations not becoming the gospel of Christ so bad enough that a Christian should crucify or crucifying Jesus, either consciously or unconsciously the second time again, and to bring or bringing him to an open shame repeatedly or continually. To start with, the first Adam was disqualified by sin and was substituted by the second Adam who executed the continuation and accomplishment of divine plan that the fellowship sought by God with his creature (man) should not be disrupted forever by Satan.
If Adam was disqualified because of the wrong choice he deliberately made before God and was replaced for failure to walk worthy of God unto all pleasing and longsuffering with joyfulness in the spirit to make his calling and election sure, why should you think that Christ will be your author of eternal salvation (Hebrews 5:9) if you should keep walking presumptuously and willfully in deliberate disobedience and sin (keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Psalms 19:13) by ignoring the authority of the word of God to walk and live in the new creature and in newness of life? Romans 6:4.
Adam failed to strive lawfully to be crowned as the head of the human race and was disqualified, replaced and was sentenced to spiritual and physical death from the presence of God. He was vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind to become wiser beyond God’s given wisdom: sought to be made equal with God; to be like him who is perfect in knowledge, knowing good and evil in his heretical behavior and opposition (a man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins, being condemned of himself. Titus 3:10-11) against God’s command not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil: he chose to have fellowship with the enemy and to partake with Satan in his unfruitful works of darkness, thereby refused to walk as a child of light through the fruit of the spirit which could be found in all goodness, righteousness and truth, proving that which is good and acceptable to God who has placed him in the garden. Adam sought to improve on himself (the outward man) and not on God’s image he were created to portray in resemblance (the soul –inner man. 2 Corinthians 4:16) and sought for independent away from the life – giving awesome word and subjection in reverence and submission to the Father of spirits that he should live and not die. How dare anyone should ever think to say that the immutable word, and the eternal- unchanging God without respect of any person will ever change the standard and measure of his dealings with the sons of men: that if we do not hearken to the admonition to walk in Christ as we have received him, rooted and grounded in him, built up in him, and abounding and increasing therein with thanksgiving (Colossians 2:6-7) and to heed the warning to hold fast that which we have, lest someone else should receive or take the crown reserved and made ready for us in heaven (Revelation 3:10-11) that such cannot not be disqualified, replaced and rejected by the Lord? Note: we owe God, not only our body as instruments of righteousness unto holiness for an unintrupted living sacrifice: to bless the Lord at all times, and his praises continually in our mouth: but our entire lifestyle should be included as well: but if the debt is not satisfactory paid to live and walk daily in the love of the spirit (Colossians 1:8) unto him that died for us and rose again (therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Romans 8:12-13) and not in any way to make provision for the flesh as Adam did to fulfill the lusts thereof, but to live in complete submission to God, he won’t consent or permit any rebellious, self-willed and disobedient children to dwell with him in eternity. Isaiah 66:1-2.
Be you not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is! Adam failed in the purpose of his existence, thus he was self disappointed and unsuccessful in the will of God. Note: if reverential submission to the will of God as revealed in the scriptures is not our utmost delight in the land of our pilgrimage: to abide, walk and live daily therein as it is done in heaven, what then is the foundation and blessed assurance of our hope of any safe relocation to the city whose foundation and maker is God that he promised and prepared for them loves him; not by the cheap talk of lips and tongue alone; but through active and joyful obedience in submission to his word. Has the scriptures not reveals that the doer of the word shall be blessed in his continual obedience? Has Christ the Savior not openly said that the gifts of the Holy spirits in the church through prophetic utterances and the gift of power to display signs and wonders, with many other great and wonderful works done in his name are not suffice in themselves before God to get us to heaven if we are not doing the will of God, namely, complete and fulfilled obedience? Has Apostle Paul not warned Timothy to be careful of his lifestyles to balance and modifies it according to the principle of the doctrine of Christ, that by using the word to frame his lifestyles, he will save himself and his hearers? Job 35:5-8. 1Timothy4:16.
King Saul was rejected and replaced by David for his spiritual defiance of God’s word (insubordination). The queen Vashti was replaced by queen Esther for her pride. Matthias was chosen to replace Judas, our Lord’s betrayal. The Israelis in the flesh was replaced for the Israelis in the spirit until the fullness of Gentiles are saved: for he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God – In Christ Jesus, neither circumcision avail anything or uncircumcision, but a new creature. You must be born again. Romans 2:28-29. Galatians 6:15.
The big problem here is that the evil liberty and freedom in the modern and civilized world has imprisoned men with pride that they don’t want to be taught how to live, walk and to please God who has called us to leave behind us the elementary teaching of Christ and to go unto perfection; but they prefer to be fed continually with milk from the flattering words of the teachers of lies to soothe their itching ears. The engrafted word is able to save the soul if it is received in a child like spirit (meekness) and in an undisputed and noncontroversial acceptance that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God, profitable for teaching, reproof, correction and instructions in righteousness for man’s spiritual exaltation and edification,designed and given to make us perfect and complete in all the will of God through the assurance and the inner witness of the Holy Ghost, re-affirming and re-assuring our place, position and inheritance among them that are sanctified by the truth and faith in Christ Jesus.
Yes, the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance, having chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: but if we are not walking and are not living in holiness without which no man shall see the Lord, do any think we shall we be allowed to enter into heaven? If our religious lifestyle is defiled (James 1:27: James 4:4: 1 John 2:15-17) by our conformity to the world and we are being defiled by strange clothing, body decorations and color paintings like Jezebel without clear understanding that nothing unclean shall enter heaven, what excuse shall we give for the failure to be crucified to the world and the world crucified to us? Galatians 6:14. Isaiah 3:16-24.
Yes, it is also true that God has not called us unto wrath or to perish, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, but this is only possible if we chose to walk in the straight gate and narrow way, lest any found demons and not God’s holy angels awaiting to pick them up at spiritual train terminal arrival to destruction and eternal death at the end of their sojourn on earth: because wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in therein: strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13.
While you assume to live as a spirit filled born-again child of God, but you do not put off the former conversations, the old man, which is corrupt according to its deceitful lusts that you might put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness to escape and to overcome the corruption that is in the world through lusts: even though, God’s divine power has given unto you all things that pertains to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who has called you to virtue and glory, that by these, you might be partaker of the divine nature, able to sow daily to the spirit, and able to subdue the flesh through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit,,not to walk and sow to the flesh to ressucitate his dead works, lest you reap vanity, eternal and second death in hell fire. If you’re despising and rejecting certain knowledge of the word as of out- of –date to resist growth in knowledge made available to enhance your relationship with God for increment in grace; for grace is exceptionally multiplied through knowledge received and applied (2 Peter 1:2) how are you sure that God will not reject you for rejecting knowledge to grow unto Christ in all things? How sure you are that the part of the scriptures you have rejected shall not be the condemnation against your soul at death because you are not living by every word that comes out from the mouth of God? Ephesians 4:22-31.
Believers are called to walk as Christ once walked on earth that they should grow unto him in all things which is the head even Christ. This growth in spiritual transformation requires a life of conscious daily scriptural scrutiny and self-spiritual examination to abide in Christ and to shine in his characters as a branch cannot bear fruit in itself, except it abide in the vine, lest it be cut off (disqualify) as an unfruitful branch in the vine. This is what the scriptures meant to show forth the praises or the transforming redeeming testimonial power of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light. If you only understand it solely on singing songs of praises and worships to God without cross examine yourself to frame your ways and life in obedience to the faith among all nations (Romans 1:5) you’ve erred: for the devil once sang powerfully in heaven before he was rejected and cast out of it.
Are you imitating and portraying Christ with your lifestyles while you dress to expose the part of your leg as a woman between the knee and hip (thigh) by your short skirt to dress unconscious or consciously as a stumbling block in the church and in the world? When your chest is barely covered to reveal fatten and glittering part of your upper breast, and your transparent gown designedly revealing your underpants, I’m damn sure you are not damn ignorant that you are but a disposable vessel of dishonor to your God? Many people shall be used by God but shall not make heaven, only few whose soul followed hard after him day and night in truth and spirit, not handling the word of God deceitfully and are not walking in craftiness but has renounces hidden things of shame for a pure heart and clean hands shall make it to the end. 2 Corinthians 4:1-2.
There is the fruit of righteousness which tends to life: he that win souls is wise (Proverbs 11:30) and there is another piritual fruit of divine nature of character upon which we must labour and pursue daily to increase continually in Christ Jesus: but he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 2 Peter 1: 5-11.
A servant cannot serve two masters. In the scripture, the believer is depicted as a soldier: and if as one, he is found to entangle (caught in or ensnare) himself with the affairs of this life, do you think that the captain of the Lord’s hosts will not discharge and remove his name from his enlisted warring officers? 2 Timothy 2:4. He is also described as an athlete to run in a track event race, but if he’s a cheater who dope on hard drugs, or adapt to utilize alternate evil power through covenant and sacrifices made to Satan for ability to work miracles: in so doing, he is feigning the holy anointing and manifestations of the Holy-Spirit: do you not think that those men and women who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and has insulted the Spirit of grace are not already judged by the living God: and their names removed from the book of life? Hebrews 10:26-31.
If Judgment must begin from the house of God, can’t you see how those men and women of corrupt minds have gone astray after the way of Balaam for reward in self -condemned attitudes to think and act that godliness is for gain (1 Timothy 6:3-6) and shall perish in the gainsaying of Korah?
Were the Israelis in the wilderness not disqualified, replaced and rejected by God that they shall not enter in to his rest, even into the land of Canaan, except Caleb and Joshua? Were not their children whom they thought and said shoild be preysto the giants the sons of Anakims did God brought into the land for possession? Numbers 14: 30-31. Let us therefore take more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest at any time they should be slip: for if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every sin and transgression received a just recompense of reward, how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being left us to enter into his rest, any should seem to come short of it. Let us hold on to faith in a pure and good conscience, void of offence toward God and toward man: and not to cast away our confidence in the Savior which has a great recompense of reward: we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end. Let us labor to abound in love and to maintain good works for necessary uses, that we may not be unfruitful, lest we fall into the rejection and condemnation of the servant which failed to put on bowels of compassion (Colossians 3:13) in his irresponsible stewardship unto whom his Lord disapproved his untoward and unseemly behaviors toward his brethren for the resources and other abilities at his disposal to disburse to facilitate them that are hunger, thirsty, naked, sick and in prison.
Lifestyles must be changed if the first should not be replaced to become the last: and the man with one precious gift is not dispossessed of it because he will not put any value on it to work with it and to profit withal for his master, but was rejected and cast into outer darkness prepared for the hypocrites and sinners: and his gift was given as a bonus to the man with ten gifts to make eleven because he has worked diligently and profitable with them. Matthew 25:24-30: 41-46.
