The covetous of the perishing

Micah 7:13
13
The earth will become desolate because of it's inhabitants, as the result of their deeds.

---

The earth becomes desolate because we desire what others have, we see what is in front of us and react to it. It is called covetous. Lies too are a form of covetous, as a lie supplies a gain that comes from desire. But in terms of tangible things, we covet what others have that we do not. We do not become idle in our covetous, no, we act on it. Cain murdered, Jacob decieved, David was aldulterous, Judas betrayed. What we covet is attached to not only our greed, it is moreso attached to our pride, our ego, our vanities and esteem.

The lesson of enlightenmemt is that in this perishing form, what matters is our ability to be loving. In loving ways, we supply acts of holiness, in the form of the fruits of the Spirit of Truth. Through those who put for live's sake put themselves aside, offer service in the form of: loving kindness with others, loving patience with others, loving faithfulness to the Father, loving peacefulness with our enemies, loving joy in our sufferance together, loving gentleness with those in mourning or in strife, and loving goodness in acts of charity. All unseen qualities of selflessness and holiness.
All greater than the qualities of human emotion which always provide self the honor that belongs to the Father alone.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is believing the Son of God died to give the perishing the opportunity to put themselves aside in grace afforded by his blood. And in that grace, allowing then, the ability to pur aside self so that in loving ways we can reconcile ourselves to God and serve one another in loving ways that are holy and greater than what we can alone provide.

Always return to the thief on the cross who repented, and witnessed to another; recognizing in belief the Son of God. He witnessed to the other thief out of love for the gift of the salvation, and in doing so had holiness provide truth in testimony. The Spirit of Truth spoke through him in his last moments. He was baptized in his faith.

Ephesians 4:5
5
one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

---

The world and the heavens will all be destroyed, but the Word of God, that is, the living Word of God, will remain. We who recognize life, and whom are recognized by the Spirit of Truth, are co hiers of God. We are the body of which the Holy One is the head of. We are the church built on the rock which is the Father's will, which His Holy One is the cornerstone of. What is there to covet that carries purpose? What covet honors truth? It is all condemning, all evidence of a person's desires.

This existence to those of Spirit is meaningless. All things perish. Purpose is only found in loving acts that glorify the Father's will through His Truth.

Fear God. Repent.
