Follow Christ: Holy, Harmless, Undefiled, and Separate from Sinners
We take on the substance of the kingdom we join ourselves to and we worship the one whose tools we use. Our deliverance from the vain things of the world is made effectual through our building in the kingdom of God with the ordered knowledge of Christ and the tools of His Spirit for with these things we function daily as priests. We follow after Christ, our high priest, being holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners and so shall we follow Him in as being made higher than the heavens. (Heb 7:26)
Exodus 19:6
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Isaiah 53:11
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
1 Peter 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:6
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
How then is it that we hear so many who profess themselves to be followers of Christ but know nothing of the terms and conditions God set for faith to be joined to Him through His New Covenant? Praise God for restoring apostles today that we may learn of Him and join ourselves to Him with perfect faith as we worship the Father in Spirit and in truth!
For we cannot follow Him in darkness, ignorance, or confusion. For in Him is no darkness at all and those who stand in darkness know not the Father or the Son. Jesus addressed the established religious leaders and followers of His time with correction. He spoke to them of the kingdom of God in truth to assist them in untangling the knots they had tied themselves into by mixing faith with aspiration, replacing truth by their own principles, and reaching beyond the boundaries of the covenant with their imaginations.
God does not accept faith which has been defiled by the aspiration. God will not confirm the principle of man but only His truth which comes from above by revelation according to the measure of grace He supplies to His selected knowledge stewards. God does no fan the flames of the imagination but provides His government, truth, and Spirit to reign in and tame the beastly nature of man that we may learn of Him through His priesthood and walk uprightly with Him in Spirit and in truth.
Just as the Spirit led people FROM the temple to hear of Christ by the lips of John, so must those who have an ear to hear also come out from among the shadows of darkness to be assisted by those who know Christ in truth and abide in His Light.
Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Philippians 4:9
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
