Nothing competes with the cross of Christ in us like our human strength! We trust and glory in it and the Lord in mercy has to deal with it by sometimes doing nothing concerning our pressing physical or spiritual need, so we can be constrained to learn and trust in the strength of His grace.
The gospel of Christ empowers believers to live according to a life that is higher than corruption and superior to the wisdom driving this world; a life that is strictly inspired by things above, things beyond the hearing of the ears and the sight of natural eyes. If we would inherit the same of crown of righteousness that Paul made reference to in 2Tim. 4:8, then we would have to walk by the same spirit of faith like he did, endure the reproaches that accompanies Christ’s riches and appreciate in our inward (soul) state.
CHRIST IS THE LAW AND DOMINION OF GOD THAT CRUSHES AND HALTS THE DOMINION OF SIN WHEN SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCED, TAUGHT IN A MANNER THAT ESTABLISHES (Rom. 16:25/Col. 2:7). SIN DREADS THE HIDDEN CIVILIZATION OF GOD’S FAITH – THAT ADAM FAILED TO LEARN AND ADVENTURE!
The Sins of the soul are the sicknesses, infirmities or diseases of the soul (Ps. 103:1-3), and the cure for them all have been kept in the epistles of the New Testament! So the prescription for all the sicknesses and diseases of the soul is knowledge; not any kind of knowledge but THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (1Tim. 2:4) or THE KNOWLEDGE OF SALVATION (Lk. 1:77) or THE LAW OF TRUTH (Mal. 2:5-6/Jam. 1:25), which also is THE INCORRUPTIBLE WORD OR SEED (1Pet. 1:23) that SAVES THE SOUL (Jam. 1:21/1Pet. 1:23).
As we keep the faith of Christ(J), we would overcome the dominion mandate of the “good” aspect of that tree. This is the gospel Jesus inherited from the father, for you and I, and very soon, it would find its way into churches in all nations(R) and it would become the preeminent teaching and conversation.
