I our exploring the mysteries and secrets of GOD revealed to those who become sons (daughters came about only through man's flesh, the Holy Spirit is of the famine gender) of GOD as Christ Ones, knowing that they themselves are the very ones spoken of within scripture as Christ. I want to spend a little time on their being called out much like Israel was in the time of Moses. To do so requires our turning to Paul's letter number 2 addressed to the Corinthians chapter 6:11 through 7:1 which breaks down like this:
2Corinthians 6:11-13, 14-7:1 "We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, 'I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.' Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God."
From this we get the following:
2Corinthians 6:11-13, 14-7:1 "We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians (like all other areas of scripture when we have this kind of addressing we can put into it a name a location of our choosing and keep the original intent correct, so I could say to the saints in GOD"s development of Grace's perfection and be correct); our heart is wide open. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections (and afflictions of soul). In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also.
Do not be unequally yoked with (infidels of this world) unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with (2Thessalonians 2:1-12) lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light (John 1:1-5, 29-34) with darkness? Or what accord (agreement) has Christ with (the worthless and wicked, those without profit, sons and daughters of satan) Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with (religions) idols? For we are the temple of the living GOD; as God said (in Exodus 29:45, Leviticus 26:12, Jeremiah 31:1, Ezekiel 37:22 and Exodus 25:8), 'I will make My dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their GOD, and they shall be My people. (Isaiah 52:11; Revelation 18:4) Therefore go (come) out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the LORD, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, (2Samuel 7:14, 1Chronicles 17:13, Isaiah 43:6 and Hosea 1:10) and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.' Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of (reverence for one’s husband) GOD."
This passage took years to take on it's true meaning of light to us after we first were impressed "to come out from among them." Like so many newborns of GOD we listened to well meaning officers of the court of GOD, who themselves did not know or understand the hidden things of GOD on deposit within themselves. For the next few days I want to examine this a little.
