LUKE 17:21 " Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU.
Matthew 16:19 " And I will give unto thee the keys to the Kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou
shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
Isaiah 43:25" I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for MINE OWN SAKE, and will NOT REMEMBER THY SINS."
1 John 4:8 " He that loveth not knoweth not God, for GOD IS LOVE."
Mark 2:10 "But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins......"
Love is the more excellent way. Our problem it would seem, is to not get side tracked in the acquisition of this love for ourselves. We know that God is love and he will
not remember our sins for his own sake. This must mean that in remembering our sins it diminishes the love that God is.
Can this also be said of us?
As the Kingdom of God is WITHIN US we must be able to forgive and no longer remember the sin that comes against us in order to generate the same kind of love that
God is. Thus glorifying God as we become what he is.
Jesus has proven that the son of man or men have the power to forgive sin. He also tells us that whatsoever we bind on earth we bind in heaven. Now if the Kingdom is within us then do we not bind the sin that we will not let go within ourselves? And likewise the sin we forgive (loose) on earth is also loosed from within us.
What is it that prevents us from attaining to this level of love? Pride, revenge, self centeredness, spite, ambition, jealousy, hate, fear, (CARNALITY). Whatever the stumbling block we should always strive for love as it is a KEY to the KINGDOM that is within you, which is a begotten spirit son of God, that should in time grow up to look just like his Father that is (LOVE). The first KEY is forgiveness, for without it Love cannot be generated from inside us and as children of the most high IT should be the ONLY thing coming out of US.
I believe that in the Lords prayer where Jesus says "but deliver us from evil" what he means is to keep sending it at us that we may learn to forgive it and become like
our Father which is in heaven. Which was also demonstrated by Jesus himself on the cross when he said Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Was he saying that I'm showing you the WAY in that forgiveness of sin that comes against you no matter who it is coming from, even those that destroy your mortal body, must
be forgiven so that the love that resides in me will be in you as well.
Thus bringing us back to the MYSTERY OF INIQUITY which exists to make us perfect in LOVE.
As Ploughboy might say How is the wrath of God the Love of God?
In this mind set God forgives us unconditionally and requires that we reciprocate to ALL who sin against us. The one thing that might make this journey easier is
that the vessels fitted to dishonor were fitted to dishonor by our Father for our maturing, though they be our brothers. If we keep this in the forefront of our minds
we understand that all sin that comes against us is for our own good that we may grow in love every time we forgive. And have been given early access to become
the LOVE OF GOD just as Jesus our forerunner.
