Faithful acts: The reconciliation

To serve by deeds

Luke 17:7-10
7
“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’?
8
Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’?
9
Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?
10
So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’

It is one thing to be believe in the Son.
It is another thing entirely to show it.

Faith without deeds is dead. James speaking to Judeo Christians says faith without deeds is dead . In Luke 17 this ministry is given to example set out by Jesus.

It was never enough to award oneself with that mark of righteousness because one knows how to interpret good from evil. It is either in faith we walk or in sin. No manner of perfect knowledge accohnts for deeds done in faith. This is what the ministry of the annointed one brought the Judeans. This messiah wanted them to understand that denying themselves was the fulfillment of law, and that acting on faith; was the fulfullment of the prophets. In this, what became clear is that righteousness was in the Father alone, no act of man was recog ized as righteous without faith. And faith is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, not the flesh.

For Christians, those whom did not develop from the Law or the Prophets, they also come to understand that what is holy comes through them. Through them in the form of deeds of faithfulness. Forgiveness; graced to us through the blood of the lamb, we who walk in our trangressions serve the truth that lives in us, and by the spiritual kingdom, works through us. Again, showing it is not us whom are holy, but holiness comes through us in our spiritual acts.

We serve. And it is by this service we realize we are a part of someyhing greater when we humbly put iurselves aside to serve others selflessly; lovingly. And this is not a worldly act, but instead a spiritual act. And it is validated as holy by the fruits these acts bear:

Joyfulness, gentleness, kindness, faithfulness, love, goodness, peace, patience, and self-control.

These acts cannot come from the worldly, nor from any other principals other than the eternal authority of the Truth. The world alters what is seens as good and calls it evil, while they claim what is evil to be good. The world alters what is love and calls it hate, while they claim what is hate to be love. The children of the world can only be witness to our acts, the cannot understand them. It is only by grace that we ourselves can discern(recognize) the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Serve. We serve the will of the Father. We do this only by denying ourselves, so that His Truth can act through us. Otherwise, we are the same as Judeans, Islamists, or even pagans. All whom react to what is put in front of them; where then they act based on their knowledge of good and evil. And subsequently, that is how they are all a part of the will of wickedness in heavenly realms. They do not know the will of God, simply because they do not know His truth. So the truth does not know them, and they rely on their own understanding instead of the acts of faith that comes through a Christian. Deeds from faith, that are holy.

All deserve mercy. All can be loved.
