Having The Fear Of God






Mar 7:6 ASV - And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.
Isa 29:13 ASV - And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh unto me, and with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught them;   Heart Heb / Lav       inner man, mind, will, heart, understanding

        inner part, midst

            midst (of things)

            heart (of man)

            soul, heart (of man)

            mind, knowledge, thinking, reflection, memory

            inclination, resolution, determination (of will)

            conscience

            heart (of moral character)

            as seat of appetites

            as seat of emotions and passions

            as seat of courage

Heb 10:16 ASV - This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; then saith he, metaph. to write upon the mind.  Our lips are a part of our flesh , the heart is our soul a mans soul belongs to God . One thing to understand the soul of a man will never die , one way or the other the word says it will live for ever.
Gen 2:7 ASV - And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
1Co 15:45 ASV - So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Now Jesus is the covenant unto us , he was our fulfilling of the Law . And by eating his Flesh and drinking his Blood ,   the word the commandants of Christ is his FLESH and the nature is his BLOOD.   Lev 17:11 ASV - For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life. Any other blood is not exceptable to the Father .  One lord one faith one baptism
The Law says they must not eat the blood of any sacriface , a type and a shadow of the life of Christ .

1Jo 5:6 ASV - This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.
1Jo 5:7 ASV - And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

Water   Greek: hudor
 to His baptism in Jordan and His Death on the Cross. As to (1), the "water" would symbolize the moral and practical cleansing effected by the removal of defilement by our taking heed to the Word of God in heart, life and habit; cp. Lev. 14, as to the cleansing of the leper.
As to (2), Jesus the Son of God came on His mission by, or through, "water" and blood, namely, at His baptism, when He publicly entered upon His mission and was declared to be the Son of God by the witness of the Father, and at the Cross, when He publicly closed His witness; the Apostle's statement thus counteracts the doctrine of the Gnostics that the Divine Logos united Himself with the Man Jesus at His baptism, and left him at Gethsemane. On the contrary, He who was baptized and He who was crucified was the Son of God throughout in His combined Deity and humanity.

  Blood  Greek: haima  the "blood" of sacrificial victims, e.g., Hbr 9:7; of the "blood" of Christ, which betokens His death by the shedding of His "blood" in expiatory sacrifice; to drink His "blood" is to appropriate the saving effects of His expiatory death, Jhn 6:53. As "the life of the flesh is in the blood," Lev 17:11, and was forfeited by sin, life eternal can be imparted only by the expiation made, in the giving up of the life by the sinless Savior.

Psa 19
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.

The fear of Jehovah is clean , enduring for ever

2Co 7:9 ASV - I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.
2Co 7:10 ASV - For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
2Co 7:11 ASV - For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.Greek: ametameletos

Regret:
"not repented of" (a, negative, and A), is translated "which bringeth no regret" in 2Cr 7:10, RV, said of repentance (AV, "not to be repented of"); elsewhere, in Rom 11:29.
See REPENT.

I remember so well as a young christian how the same people would go to the front for prayer
Every time there were services there would be those that would have these long faces and sorrowful expressions on their faces .  And my question to the Lord would be how Lord can these people have so many problems , and not get the  answers to what ever ails them . And than I began to study this verse 2Cor 7:10  , they are not sorry for their sins they are not heart broken with Godly sorrow that they WILL not change their minds to walk in righteousness.  
Psa 19: 9    Is why most people do not Fear God, they do not have a standing relationship with God to know his Mercy and his Grace .  So they go through their life having a form of godliness
but have no power to stand in their trials and temptations have the power to bind and to loose according to what children of God have in the Holy Ghost .  Doubt and unbelief destroys their Faith ,  and the sorrow they have is working death in them .   Its carnality its a matter of hearing the gospel in its truest form and not obeying the commandants of Jesus . 
Job 5:17 ASV - Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
Pro 3:11 ASV - My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:
Heb 12:5 ASV - and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;
Heb 12:7 ASV - It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with Sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?
Heb 12:8 ASV - But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.  
Heb 12:11 ASV - All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, even the fruit of righteousness.

Only one Gospel one truth the word calls it being born of another seed than the word of God.  Seed here in Greek is sperma

Mat 13:23 ASV - And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Mat 13:24 ASV - Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:  

  Greek: sperma

Seed:
akin to speiro, "to sow" (Eng., "sperm," "spermatic," etc.), has the following usages,

(a) agricultural and botanical, e.g., Mat 13:24, 27, 32 (for the AV of vv. 19-23, see SOW, as in the RV); 1Cr 15:38; 2Cr 9:10;

(b) physiological, Hbr 11:11;

(c) metaphorical and by metonymy and for "offspring, posterity,"

(1) of natural offspring e.g., Mat 22:24, 25, RV, "seed" (AV, "issue"); Jhn 7:42; 8:33, 37; Act 3:25; Rom 1:3; 4:13, 16, 18; 9:7 (twice), 8, 29; 11:1; 2Cr 11:22; Hbr 2:16; 11:18; Rev 12:17; Gal 3:16, 19, 29; in the 16th ver., "He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ," quoted from the Sept. of Gen 13:15; 17:7, 8, there is especial stress on the word "seed," as referring to an individual (here, Christ) in fulfillment of the promises to Abraham, a unique use of the singular. While the plural form "seeds," neither in Hebrew nor in Greek, would have been natural any more than in English (it is not so used in Scripture of human offspring; its plural occurrence is in 1Sa 8:15, of crops), yet if the Divine intention had been to refer to Abraham's natural descendants, another word could have been chosen in the plural, such as "children;" all such words were, however, set aside, "seed" being selected as one that could be used in the singular, with the purpose of showing that the "seed" was Messiah. Some of the rabbis had even regarded "seed," e.g., in Gen 4:25; Isa 53:10, as referring to the Coming One. Descendants were given to Abraham by other than natural means, so that through him Messiah might come, and the point of the Apostle's argument is that since the fulfillment of the promises of God is secured alone by Christ, they only who are "in Christ" can receive them;

(2) of spiritual offspring, Rom 4:16, 18; 9:8; here "the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed" points, firstly, to Isaac's birth as being not according to the ordinary course of nature but by Divine promise, and, secondly, by analogy, to the fact that all believers are children of God by spiritual birth; Gal 3:29.

As to 1Jo 3:9, "his seed abideth in him," it is possible to understand this as meaning that children of God (His "seed") abide in Him, and do not go on doing (practicing) sin (the verb "to commit" does not represent the original in this passage). Alternatively, the "seed" signifies the principle of spiritual life as imparted to the believer, which abides in him without possibility of removal or extinction; the child of God remains eternally related to Christ, he who lives in sin has never become so related, he has not the principle of life in him. This meaning suits the context and the general tenor of the Epistle.
Luk 1:34 ASV - And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Luk 1:35 ASV - And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

Heb 4:12 ASV - For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.   The word of God is alive and active its Christ in you the hope of Glory .    Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Gods word is compared to a very sharp instrument Sword Greek: machaira            of the Word of God, "the sword of the Spirit," probing the conscience, subduing the impulses to sin, Eph 6:17

Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
