For Sin, And Uncleanness

Giving what we have is because we cannot be the disciple of Christ without forsaking all we have. ( that is where contentment can come in)

So all things become pure by giving alms, but we give up everything to be content. No wonder it is so hard for those who believe in God but remain on the fence regarding the need to be a Christian. It is soooo confusing. To become a part of His Flock requires neither.

The word Jesus spoke to us is what cleans us, to abide in Him, HIs word in us, and what we ask ( according to HIs will) is done to us.

The Father is glorified that we bear much fruit, the fruit is to eternal life, belief in the rising of Christ from the dead, and in that good conscience all else is forsaken. ( given away)

 

 

John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

1 John 3:3 And everyone who has this hope in Him

purifies himself, just as He is pure.

1 Peter 1:

22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth

through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren,

see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,

by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever.

Would that include "giving what we have" in the way of communication devices including  hardware, software, and internet provider service?

If a person is similar to the Pharisees that Jesus spoke to, their communication would benefit from a complete change, GOd can return what would be useful for HIs will from then on..

 

 

Mark 10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

Contentment is not why Christ had nowhere to lay His head, it is because of overcoming the world, that you cant be part of the same world.

If someone ( God) is going to perform the purification of the heavens, that work has to be strong and clear on earth. ( or nobody can see it to follow it.)

Jesus sacrifices Himself because of HIs pure blood, and because of showing the way to heaven, and nothing to do with tis worlds considerations. ( for us to follow Him up to there, where He is.)

 

 

Matthew 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
