Live By Wisdom

I don't think we realize our own mortality, that our time on this earth is not permanent. We have a sense of our frailty, and we naturally understand that our fate is to one day have no more breath in our lungs, but we do not live as though this is the case, no matter how strongly we believe in our inevitable expiration. If we did understand that, one day, our peculiar essence will no longer pass through this realm, how much more thoughtful would we be? how much more forgetting of perceived wrong against us? how much more apt to listen? how much more caring towards self? how much more active in goals? how much more willing to inspire others to achieve their vision? Instead of getting out of our head, we are oddly sunken into the muck of damaging thoughts and feelings, and if understanding the very precious opportunity we have as functioning creatures, we would pray, "Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom," Psalm 90:12. 

What separates the living God from the gods and deities of every religion under heaven is the fact that He designs, creates, and sustains whatsoever His voice is entered into. Creation is His ultimate intention, and today, the creation of a right and healthy heart and mind is His aim. Because this creation is through His Spirit's words, our heart is "to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man," Ephesians 3:16, because "that which is born of the Spirit is spirit," John 3:6. Today, and for ever more, creation is confined to the heart of the mind, which is why we are counseled, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind," Romans 12:2, and, "Be renewed in the spirit of your mind," Ephesians 4:23. The mind is to find its members regenerated to help govern the heart and body to execute a life similar to the heart of the Spirit that created it, which is why the mind must be strengthened with His Spirit's words, and it is well to know that "wisdom strengtheneth," Ecclesiastes 7:19. 

To hear of creation by the living God's Spirit is to hear of creation by the wisdom of the living God's words. Such a creation is very personal and intimate, even as the example of creation's record in the book of Genesis teaches. Like as heaven and earth came about by no impression of hands, but only through words; as it says, "He spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast," Psalm 33:9; so too the heart of the mind is to find its self a living creation by no impression of hands, but only through the words of creation's present will and wisdom. 

Is this not taught through the illustration of His Christ on the tree? Isn't it written, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: that the blessing of Abraham might come"? Galatians 3:13,14.  The fact that this act on the tree establishes Abraham's mind of devotion witnesses to the fact that a course of service contrary to Abraham's is blotted out of existence. Because Abraham sought blessing not "through the law, but through the righteousness of faith," Romans 4:13, it is evident that a religion honoring the religious law for its creation and righteousness is no longer a valid approach to creation and righteousness. For if creation had occurred not through the direct Word of His Spirit, but through the pen and judgment of flesh, then we ought to think that creation is by commandments and traditions of priests and elders, but that record in Genesis chapter one tells a very different story, which record the illustration of His Christ on the tree verifies. 

Creation found the core of its being regenerated to newness only through the living God's voice; by hearing, examining, and doing the commandment, heaven and earth became what heaven and earth were ordained to be. With His Christ "having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances," Ephesians 2:15, we today may know that "the strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56, allowing us to understand that creation, being without the handwritten religious ethic, is inward, within the mind, even as it says, "Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom," Psalm 51:6. The heart of the mind is to be filled with the words of "the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding," Colossians 1:9; there is no more or less than this. With the religious law perpetually cursed in every age for handling, a message is preached for the wellness of the conversation's conscience, that it should no longer be directed by theoretical religious prescriptions, but by knowledge obtained through personally examining and doing His words.

Wisdom retained through examining and doing His thoughts should organize our life. Our decisions, our obligations, our desires, our thanksgiving, our goals, our benevolence, should be executed through wisdom retained by personally learning of and doing His words. We show forth the brilliance of His thoughts for us when allowing His words to not only prove our heart, but to also be the Corrector and Governor of our thoughts and feelings. We do not know how to live this life, and we have become desensitized to the fact that we must master our environment, because we have no real or sure wisdom of creation; by lending our mind to pre-conceived religious theories unproven to our sensibilities, a subconscious belief that trends and traditions define our existence is adopted.

We are born into a religious age preaching the imprisonment of the conscience, but the living God's doctrine is contrary to this belief, for if we were creations of His words, we would say, "Why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?" 1 Corinthians 10:29. The mind is creation's present realm because the human being is governed by thoughts and feelings. Let the mind perceive its empty condition and watch it begin to soberly think and feel not only for the heart and mind of its self, but for the heart and mind of other human beings. Religious laws and policies constrain the mind, keeping it from actually learning who and what it is, and such a practice bleeds into the natural life, for if my creed preaches the subjection of my conscience for blessing, then subconsciously I will believe it is right to limit and degrade every other conscience, which is why, by our coarse thoughts and feelings, we give more negative energy to one another than positive energy. 

Such a creed is not the living God's doctrine, for, as that creating Spirit, He understands what magnifies the higher and lower faculties of the human being, which is why, through that act on the tree, it is an eternal fact that "the strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56. The religious law; or Moses' religious philosophy; must be exchanged for Abraham's mind of devotion because, like creation, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness," Galatians 3:6. To believe on religious laws and traditions is not to believe on the living God's words; your mind is not blessed by "your vain conversation received by tradition," 1 Peter 1:18. Abraham, like creation, maintained his faith's core through a promise, and it is well to know that "we have received a commandment from the Father," 2 John 1:4, to "receive the promise of the Spirit through faith," Galatians 3:14. What is this promise? Concerning creation's present promise, we read: "Like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life," Romans 6:4.

The full illustration of His Christ on and divorced from the tree is creation's present doctrine, for with that body representing a conversation ruled by the religious law, to see it passed away on the tree is to see it giving up Moses' ghost, but to see it not only separated from the tree, but also raised to life again, is to see that same conversation now operating by another mind of service, even by that mind obtaining blessing not "through the law, but through the righteousness of faith," Romans 4:13. Such an illustration preaches the mind's separation from traditional and superstitious religious theories to claim a sobriety for benevolently caring for self, the doctrine of this understanding, and other minds. With our mind liberated from the muck of religious "philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men," Colossians 2:8, we can finally experience His words to retain wisdom to live by. 

This wisdom will help us to lead our best life. The human being is too frail and sensitive to live without a right understanding of its condition. So much eats at us, so much destroys our very beautiful person, so much halts our warm and individual tenderheartedness, because our mind is not healthy. Must such a lovely thinking and feeling organism find its self retarded by vain imaginations? Must we not be who we are because of damaging thoughts? Must we accept a lesser version of our self because of damaging thoughts? Must we continue to harass one another because of an unclean conscience? Not even the living God would have us exist in such an unhealthy estate, for the illustration of His Christ on the tree, and then separated from the tree to become "a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God," Hebrews 2:17, preaches His will for us. 

We are to learn how to possess self for rightly directing self, and the longer we continue to live without true and sincere knowledge of His will and intention, the greater our hardheartedness will be. It is about time that we become creations according to His definition of creation, because we unnecessarily die and abuse self for no good reason. Our assignment is creation's, and does creation abide by some policy invented for it by man? Has a man ever told creation to start and stop winter, only to have winter started or stopped? Has a man ever told creation not to quake, and has that earthquake ever stopped? Has a man ever told the sun not to rise, only to have the sun listen? Has any human ever told the ground not to soak in the rain, only to find that the ground has listened? Man can speak whatever he would to creation, but creation has one operation, even as its Creator says, "While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease," Genesis 8:22. 

Creation obeys not because it feels manipulated to obey, and not because it feels forced, but because it experienced the living God's will for it, and so finding His thoughts to be in its best interest, creation has continued to love the Spirit that pronounced its liberty. Our faith needs this experience, and it cannot be given to us until our conversation becomes a willing subject of His words. 

We will not always have breath, but like as creation accepted regeneration to fulfill the reason for its birth, so too it is today important that our mind embrace heaven-appointed creation so that we may fulfill the reason for our birth. This life is too short to lend it over to untrue and hurtful thoughts. There is a reason why breath is in our lungs, but we cannot know that reason if we are not willing to replace our current personal and devotional mind with the living God's will and wisdom. Our lives are to portray a clean and peaceful stream of mental and moral liberty, and this task begins within our conversation's conscience, which is why we today have creation's commandment preached to us through the illustration of His Christ on the tree, to the end we may all chase the newness of mind and approach promised to us. 

Order's Revelation

"Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God." Psalm 50:22,23

Is the living God's salvation truly on our heart? Is His deliverance what we truly and absolutely want to see? If it is, then we have been told how to receive it, for it says, "To him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God," Psalm 50:23. 

If we would but rightly order our conversation, the living God's salvation would be revealed to us, but order our conversation from what? We find our answer in the saying, "Who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel," 2 Timothy 1:10. Our personal religious conversation is to abandon "death," which abolished "death" is defined by how it says, "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances," Ephesians 2:15. The conversation is herein understood to reform from religious laws and doctrines naturally put upon it, for with His Christ suffering the tree, "the sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56; making it well to remember that His "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree," Galatians 3:13. 

The illustration of His Christ on the tree preaches the reform uttered by the psalmist. The redemption promised by the living God can only find its self experienced when the conversation exists without "sin," "and the strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56. The conversation must reform from religious laws "after the commandments and doctrines of men," Colossians 2:22, if it should know the salvation promised to it, which is why it is the living God's will is to "purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God," Hebrews 9:14. Our conversation's conscience is to be "redeemed" or "delivered" from "dead" religious works and deeds, and if His Christ "hath abolished death," 2 Timothy 1:10," and if this "death" is explained through the saying, "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances," Ephesians 2:15," and if, through these sayings, we learn that "the strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56, then it is well for us to understand that the promised salvation is mental and spiritual, to the end we possess a perfect conversation, and "perfect, as pertaining to the conscience," Hebrews 9:9.

Herein we may understand that, according to the living God, and according to the testimony of His Christ on the tree, perfection is not by "your vain conversation received by tradition," 1 Peter 1:18. Blessed revelation! Through the illustration of that act on the tree, one course of religious service is condemned to annihilation while another is perpetually magnified, which is why, concerning that illustration, it does not say, "That the blessing of Moses might come," but it says, "That the blessing of Abraham might come," Galatians 3:14. 

A very great exchange occurred through the tree: that religious course supported by Moses' spirit and philosophy found its self cursed and replaced with Abraham's mind of devotion. Moses' religious creed demands that "righteousness come by the law," Galatians 2:21, but with His Christ on the tree, it is become an indisputable and inarguable fact that His "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness," Romans 10:4. If subscribing to Moses' religious ethics, "you are justified by the law," Galatians 5:4, and again, this philosophy is a false confidence, "for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified," Galatians 2:16. Moses' religion preaches perfection of the conversation through handwritten religious deeds and acts, but with His Christ suffering the tree, such a religion is "sin" to the living God's will and intention, which is why Moses' mind is, through the tree, blotted out for Abraham's, for Abraham sought perfection not "through the law, but through the righteousness of faith," Romans 4:13. 

This is very important information, because if we today celebrate a Christ preaching, "Righteousness come by the law," Galatians 2:21, when, through the tree, or cross, we are taught that His "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness," then we evidently reverence a counterfeit understanding. If it is that the Christ we celebrate has handwritten doctrines and commandments of his own self; a sabbath of his own devising, which sabbath conflicts with that Sabbath of creation; a ceremony and service for some acceptance and membership; it is well to understand that our conversation, being bound to the religious laws of such an institution, is a conversation in "sin," because "the strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56. The conversation is to find its conscience regenerated and reformed from "sin," so much so that it confesses, "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death," Romans 8:2. 

This statement of faith is exactly the confession the living God pleads for through the instruction of the psalmist. The conversation's conscience is to be liberated from the pen and judgment of flesh to wholeheartedly feel and experience the newness promised of His Spirit, even as it says, "Like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life," Romans 6:4. The illustration of His Christ on the tree preaches the passing away of a practice ruled by the instruction of religious tradition for a conversation directly kept by the living God's words, and to hear that it was "God the Father, who raised him from the dead," Galatians 1:1, is to further learn the conversation's resurrection from "sin" and "death," putting us in remembrance that "the sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56. 

There is a reason for this need to reform the conversation from flesh-based religious standards, for the religious law does not embrace faith's higher education; "whatsoever is not of faith is sin," Romans 14:23, "and the law is not of faith," Galatians 3:12. The living God's salvation cannot begin if we will not exercise faith on the hope reiterated through the illustration of His Christ on the tree, which is why Moses' route must find its self blotted out and exchanged for Abraham's. Herein we learn a true course from a false, for the Spirit's Faith is a "doctrine which is according to godliness," 1 Timothy 6:3. With Moses' religious philosophy abolished for handling, it is become evident that a religion preaching righteousness by traditions and laws is an ungodly and unrighteousness religion. Therefore "that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith," Galatians 3:11. If the conversation will not abandon a scripted religion for knowledge to live by through an experimental faith, then that conversation will fail of the Spirit's salvation or deliverance, seeing as how "through knowledge shall the just be delivered," Proverbs 11:9. 

There is no knowledge in the religious law, for by obeying the handwritten ethic, the conscience is lulled to sleep, so much so that it cannot say, "Why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?" 1 Corinthians 10:29. From my experience in talking with various people from various Christian backgrounds, what turns them away from "God" is the fact that they have come to realize their conscience is compromised by a religion constraining their ability to think and feel under the rule and direction of a pre-conceived or handwritten thought or doctrine. They are told that all they need is "faith," yet, to their understanding, there is no right demonstration of faith in what is scripted for a routine, and they are right. The living God also understands this, and this we learn by what His Christ suffered on the tree. The re-education and reform of the conversation's conscience from religious laws is preached through the passing and regenerating flesh of His chief apostle, for the person is to receive health within their heart and mind to care for their thoughts and feelings to possess self for benevolently giving self; this is the righteousness and kingdom of the living God. 

If it is that we do hope for the living God's salvation, and not some imagined inherited or self-invented supposition, it is well that we hear and do the counsel, "To him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God," Psalm 50:23. The conversation's conscience is to be reformed from that ghost nailed to the tree, which is the ghost of Moses' manner of devotion. Such a devotion preaches the conversation’s righteousness through handwritten religious ethics, but with His Christ suffering the tree, a better epistle is written and promoted. Righteousness, to the living God, is the labor of strengthening the mental and moral faculties of the person, to the end that person may benevolently give their self to a conscience that is less fortunate, which is why it says, "Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification," Romans 15:2. Our course begins with comprehending the illustration of His Christ's passing and regenerating, for then we may experience that baptism leading to our heart's sobriety, which is why we are counseled, "Be renewed in the spirit of your mind," Ephesians 4:23. 

A Mountain Is Home?

"In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?" Psalm 11:1

There is a profound message spoken by David through this psalm, for if, in the same psalm, he writes, "The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven," Psalm 11:4, and there is a voice counseling David to turn to his "mountain," then there are two very different courses of learning witnessed by the Psalmist. To better understand these two manners of worship and service, it is well to dissect just what a "mountain" is, for the Psalmist is told, by some one, to turn to his "mountain." 

A "mountain" is a term denoting the place of a "church" or "temple"; we read: "Let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob," Micah 4:2, and, "Them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer," Isaiah 56:7, and, "The mountain of the house of the LORD," Micah 4:1. When one has fled to their "mountain," one has escaped into the "church" of their upbringing, the religious understanding that they have inherited. It is therefore odd for any one to tell the Psalmist to flee to his "mountain," and it should be an odd thing for us also. The Psalmist appears offended to hear some one counseling him to turn to his "mountain," and he should be, for since the living God's Christ accomplished his act on the tree, the saying is fulfilled, "But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all," Galatians 4:26. Such an act was not accomplished in David's day, nevertheless this man kept the living God's Faith and strengthened his conversation by it. This is why he says, "My flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary," Psalm 63.1,2.

What is above one's "mountain" is the fact that "the LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven," Psalm 11:4. "Heaven," as it is here mentioned, is no superstitious location for any thing, but is a term connoting the LORD God's heavenly Sanctuary, which term we understand by how it says, "He hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth," Psalm 102:19. The Psalmist reverences that Faith of the living God found only within His heavenly Sanctuary, which Faith is not that faith of "mountains," for it is written, "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven," Psalm 119:89. Herein the Psalmist confirms for us just what reform our personal religion must make, for our faith's intellect will either keep its self hidden in "mountains," or our conversation's conscience will "seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God," Colossians 3:1. David kept heaven's right educational pattern, and this standard is not only established by him, but the living God's Christ has for ever settled the matter. 

"Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances," Ephesians 2:15, this Christ confirms that the speech of "mountains" is today become officially irrelevant, marking that speech as "sin" to heaven's new covenant will, preaching that "the strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56. The "law" here mentioned is "the handwriting of ordinances," Colossians 2:14, according to "the tradition of the elders," Matthew 15:2. By this Christ suffering the tree, "your vain conversation received by tradition," 1 Peter 1:18, is become injurious to the work and effect of heaven's will and wisdom, and this was foreshadowed of old through the Psalmist, who wrote, "How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?" Psalm 11:1. The religious law and judgment of priests and elders is abolished and blotted out of the living God's Faith by His Christ suffering the tree, opening up mental and moral health to the doer of that Faith by the developmental learning of an experimental faith, which is why it is well to know that "whatsoever is not of faith is sin," Romans 14:23, and that "the law is not of faith," Galatians 3:12, making the religious law "sin."

Now, if the manner of "mountains" was blessed; which manner is according to religious traditions and doctrines of priests and elders; then we would have been openly told that a blessing to such a course exists, but there is only language referencing a curse to the manners of ministers, even as Paul says, "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse," Galatians 3:10. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law," Galatians 3:13, because there is no record in Scripture of any blessing to Moses' spirit or philosophy, but "the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham," Galatians 3:8. 

"Abraham," in this context, is no reference to a man, but is figurative language denoting "the faith of Abraham," Romans 4:16. One's faith, in Scripture, is one's "name," or is the character of one's religious conversation, even as it says concerning "name" and "faith," "And hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name," Revelation 3:8, and, "Thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith," Revelation 2:13. Heaven's Faith commences when once the personal conversation takes hold of Abraham's name, Abraham's manner of worship and service, which name is circumcision not "through the law, but through the righteousness of faith," Romans 4:13. Whatever blessing appeared to be given to Moses' name; which name preaches, "Righteousness come by the law," Galatians 2:21; is today condemned as "sin" and rebuked by the Spirit's Christ suffering the tree, which is why it says, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: that the blessing of Abraham might come," Galatians 3:13,14. 

What is found on the tree is become accursed before the living God's Faith, and with His Christ "made under the law," Galatians 4:4, when found on the tree, it is that the religious law is become accursed for inventing and handling. When it says of this Christ, that he "was made in the likeness of men," Philippians 2:7, the reference is not to the literal male human figure. "Being found in fashion as a man," Philippians 2:8, is being "made under the law," Galatians 4:4; the fashion of men is the shape of their conversation's form, which form or "nature" this Christ rebukes by saying, "Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition," Mark 7:9. The fashion of men, or the "nature" of priests and elders, is a religious conversation ruled by religious laws and judgments "after the commandments and doctrines of men," Colossians 2:22. For this Spirit's Christ to be found on the tree, it is for the condemnation of what this Christ's flesh represents to suffer an eternal slumber, and since Moses says of him, "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me," Deuteronomy 18:15, it is evident that what Moses is, and what the brethren of Moses bless, should come under condemnation by a priest ordained according to their own standards, which is why this Christ's doctrine came "to redeem them that were under the law," Galatians 4:5. 

It is therefore religious error, according to the doctrine of this Christ, to say to any one, or for any one to say to their own personal faith, "Flee as a bird to your mountain," Psalm 11:1. A higher education is established for the humble and sincere in heart and mind, and because it is not through the religious bill, but through the impression of the living God's voice upon the mind, the end of heaven's will is fulfilled through Abraham's course, which is why the living God's Christ did not carry out his faith through Moses' spirit, but through Abraham's, even as it says, "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham," Hebrews 2:16. An "angel" is a term denoting a priest or a minister, and to hear that the living God's Christ put off the "nature" or form of ministers for Abraham's impression should awaken us to our faith's condition: do we subscribe to a Christ preaching, "You are justified by the law," Galatians 5:4, or do we reverence a Faith that "hath redeemed us from the curse of the law"? Galatians 3:13. 

If our Christ is moving our faith to live by the religious bill, we may know that this Christ is not that Christ of the living God, but is heretical in thought and feeling. The Spirit's Christ abolished the religious bill for our faith to have consciousness added to it, which is why the Psalmist grew aggravated when one advised him to stay in his mountain, moving him to think, "Shall the dead arise and praise thee?" Psalm 88:10. Who are the dead? We read: "Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth," Isaiah 14:9. The "dead" are the chief ones of the religious earth, even "the holy ones," Daniel 4:17, who are "the holy gods," Daniel 4:18; who or what are "gods"? We read: "He called them gods, unto whom the word of God came," John 10:35. A "god" is one who receives word from the living God, who are messengers and ministers of His voice. The "dead" are the ministers of the religious earth; great and small; and, according to the Psalmist, there is no praise of the living God among them that are recognized as "dead." Herein is revealed to us just what our faith must resurrect from, even from the form and standard of the "dead," which is why the doer of heaven's Faith reports, "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death," Romans 8:2. 

"The strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56, and by His Christ blotting out the spirit and philosophy of Moses from His Faith, a new course of learning is established by a law and commandment of His Spirit, and "we have received a commandment from the Father," 2 John 1:4. This commandment is His Spirit's law of creation and newness, for "like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life," Romans 6:4. This newness is for the conscience of our conversation, seeing as how "we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter," Romans 7:6.

Whosoever is "dead" is in subjection to what is accursed for spiritual "death," and if His "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law," Galatians 3:13, then "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness," Romans 10:4, and the saying, "Righteousness come by the law," Galatians 2:21, is become heresy to believe on, for it exhibits our unbelief in the living God's will and promise. It is His Faith's intention to "purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God," Hebrews 9:14, and must we continue to enslave our conversation's character under the impression of mountains?
