Dear NewDay,
Hear this revelation from the KJV N.T. It suggest that you do not seek to uphold Commandments first, i.e. if you are seeking the kingdom of God (which includes a heavenly life on earth).
However if you are seeking other things, first, like for example, if one is seeking, first, to have one's spouse behave in a particular manner which serves one, then one may uphold Commandment and seek to enforce them on others (including their spouse), first.
However this would not make one's life (and marriage) heavenly.
This is what Jesus instructed as an absolute guide:
Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, within your own heart, then All things will be added. |
Seem that you must initiate the first act, i.e. by seeking first the kingdom . . . .
Some people perceive that
no works is required to come under Grace of God. That conclusion is absolutely
not supported by this revelation from Jesus.
'to seek ye first' means 'the first thing is you seek. To seek is works.'
You have to do this works (of seeking) first, the kingdom of God within your own heart, then God will add All things (including a suitable and compatible spouse).
If it was not incumbent for humans to make the first move then nothing would stop the good God from adding All thing to us freely.
Fact is if humans do not seek ye first, nothing (not Truth, not salvation, not deliverance, no right spouse, etc.) will come to them.
The first move is yours and that first move is to seek and capture the kingdom of heaven within your own heart. Then all things (including your spouse) will be added, according to God will.
"Added" means that you do nothing. Things simply come to you. But first you must seek and capture the kingdom of God within your own heart or spirit. You will be guided and you must be able to discern this guidance to the right thing that God has provided for you . . . . this will have to be another post. To give you a hint: The path to what God has provided for one in Christ is well defined in
1 Corinthians: 2 verses: 9 to 14 . . . . to continue:
However once you are given something by God, under His Grace, that is, once what you have something (including your spouse) which is given to you by God, under His Grace, then:
Then you will not have to use laws and commandments, those will be out the door. That is: the right spouse will come to one under grace of God and his or her every act will be pleasing to and appropriate for, one. Then there will be no time or need to even remember laws and commandments. In fact under Grace of God one will have every liberty that was not afforded one under laws and commandments (including going to porn shows).
For those under grace of God,
going to porn show is nothing.
Also not going to porn show is nothing. No laws or commandment arises or is need or is applicable. All things can be done for one does not come under the influence of any. In particular because one's marriage (and life in all ways) was made in heaven and put together by God and not by man. What God has put together nothing can disrupt it or put it apart before its God appointed time.
A life including a marriage that is put together by man (and not God) requires laws and commandments to keep it together.
Think we should take on Jesus here, or ignore Him?
Seem that it when humans add things first and on their own (like getting a spouse first) and then they try to use laws and commandments to kept their added things in order, that problem arises. Then hell comes and heaven goes out the door.
Can your life experience relate to this? Does this make sense to you?
