Reasoning is part of the gradual development of man. We term conscience as the state of reasoning. To reason is to consider what is set before us to react to.
Reasoning is based off knowledge. That knowledge is gathered in our brains from many sources, our logic, our emotions, our senses, witnessing others, our state of being, social and cultural influences, our environment, and our beliefs. Reasoning is how we make decisions on what is set before us.
The knowledge of good and evil is part of our reasoning. This too has developed over generations and is also greatly influenced by all the previously mentioned sources. The issue is, without the same foundation, what is considered good and evil, is different for each of us. This is where religions have their basis. They provide a moral setting that people base their reasoning on.
I say to you, that the next step in this development was given to us by the good news ministry of the Christ. The human capacity to reason is imperfect, because perfect knowledge is only available to those who carry perfect life. So perfect reasoning which we can consider as righteousness(holiness), is of God alone. And that holiness is imparted to those who seek its unseen quality in faith. The Spirit of Life is the Spirit of this Truth, and is the doorway to the conscience of holiness. The Kingdom.
The Kingdom of God is in heaven. The angels saw that Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of holy knowledge, and feared that if they ate of the tree of life, Adam and Eve would become like them. This supports fully the principle of the Kingdom being what our next and beautiful development is. And this is why Jesus made such efforts to bring the good news of the Kingdom to us. The Kingdom is available to us while we are still here!
To be sure, this is also why we must 'die and be reborn'. Because we have to set ourselves aside, and in faith, rely on the Holy Spirit that resides in us as believers. We do this because that power is perfect, and through it, what we seek is given to us to replace our natural reasoning for perfect reasoning(holiness). So we are no longer reasoning based on our incomplete and varied knowledge, we are placing our confidence on the Life in us. Reborn and raised in faith.
Having said all this, the contents of the Bible are good for instruction and inspiration, but this knowledge too, does nothing for the salvation of our souls. Only through faith, and acting in faith on what is set before us, do we begin to serve the will of God. His purpose, for us to be here, and able to deny ourselves in order to live in His righteousness. Our desires are what we base our reasoning off of, and our reasoning is never going to be perfect without the acknowledgement of the authority of perfection. And that authority is represented here by the Holy Spirit. Those who walk in faith, carry this Life, and rely upon it. And this power will be with us forever.
The Holy Spirit is full and complete. It is the same in me as it is in you. We witness it, and recognize it with an Amen. Christ is the Amen.
The Kingdom is based in Love. God is Love, and all the perfect states of being are branches of the holy conscience. This is the path, few find it. For most the fruits and gifts are their moral fabrications that they claim as righteous. So discernment helps us separate the 'wheat from the chaff'. Being renewed in Christ comes with constant trials and challenges, because the world and even our flesh does not recognize the holiness we seek and rely upon. The poverty of our existence is meaningless. Our souls were meant to exist here, but we were always developing towards a reliance on faith, and the authority of holiness, has come.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, His righteousness, and these things shall be added unto you. Hallelujah.
