So have I proved my thoughts as being true? Or are you still in suspension or doubt? For in Deuteronomy 29 we find the hidden things of GOD spoken of for the first time in verse 29. Not to be mentioned again until the days of Christ. When He himself spoke of them in Mark 4:11 as a mystery to be known and understood by His disciples. Here is what it states: "He (Jesus) said to them, 'Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: But unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; And hearing they may hear, and not understand; Lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.'"
Believe me, there is so much more to the mystery of Christ within humanity's DNA and the power of this Light, Life, Innocence and Truth restored by GOD'S Righteousness within us all. This power is taped into by Grace freely given for that purpose. The power of Grace is Agape Love..
Here's part of this mystery as spoken of by Paul in his many and varied letters designed to increase ones faith. One such passage is found in Galatians 3 verse 11 and 22 which states this taken from the KJV and the KJV+ for our forensic look: "But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of GOD, it is evident: for, "The just shall live by faith." And the law is not of faith: but, The man that obey's them shall live in them."
Now for the KJV+: "ButG1161 thatG3754 no manG3762 is justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 in the sightG3844 of GOD,G2316 it is evident:G1212 for,G3754 "TheG3588 justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faith.G4102""
The first word is G1344 translated "justified:" dikaioō dik-ah-yo'-o From G1342 {dikaios dik'-ah-yos From G1349 [dikē dee'-kay Probably from G1166 {to show}; right (as self evident), that is, justice (the principle, a decision, or its execution): - judgment, punish, vengeance.]; equitable (in character or act); by implication innocent, holy (absolutely or relatively): - just, meet, right (-eous).}; to render (that is, show or regard as) just or innocent: - free, justify (-ier), be righteous.
Our next target is G3551 translated as "law:" nomos nom'-os From a primary word νέμω nemō (to parcel out, especially food or grazing to animals); law (through the idea of prescriptive usage), generally (regulation), specifically (of Moses [including the volume]; also of the Gospel), or figuratively (a principle): - law.
Then there's G3844 translated as "sight:" para par-ah' A primary preposition; properly near, that is, (with genitive case) from beside (literally or figuratively), (with dative case) at (or in) the vicinity of (objectively or subjectively), (with accusative case) to the proximity with (local [especially beyond or opposed to] or causal [on account of]). In compounds it retains the same variety of application: - above, against, among, at, before, by, contrary to, X friend, from, + give [such things as they], + that [she] had, X his, in, more than, nigh unto, (out) of, past, save, side . . . by, in the sight of, than, [there-] fore, with. In compounds it retains the same variety of application.
Then we have G1212 translated as "evident:" dēlos day'-los Of uncertain derivation; clear: - + bewray, certain, evident, manifest.
Then comes G1342 translated as "just:" dikaios dik'-ah-yos From G1349 {this is a repeat to show it's importance, this is true of all words repeated close together throughout scripture}; equitable (in character or act); by implication innocent, holy (absolutely or relatively): - just, meet, right (-eous).
The next word is G2198 translated as "live:" zaō dzah'-o A primary verb; to live (literally or figuratively): - life (-time), (a-) live (-ly), quick.
The next word is G1537 translated as "by:" ek ex ek, ex A primary preposition denoting origin (the point whence motion or action proceeds; for all of humanity this is scene in Gen. 1:26-28), from, out (of place, time or cause; literally or figuratively; direct or remote): - after, among, X are, at betwixt (-yond), by (the means of), exceedingly, (+ abundantly above), for (-th), from (among, forth, up), + grudgingly, + heartily, X heavenly, X hereby, + very highly, in, . . . ly, (because, by reason) of, off (from), on, out among (from, of), over, since, X thenceforth, through, X unto, X vehemently, with (-out). Often used in composition, with the same general import; often of completion.
The last is G4102 translated as "faith:" pistis pis'-tis From G3982 {peithō pi'-tho A primary verb; to convince (by argument, true or false); by analogy to pacify or conciliate (by other fair means); reflexively or passively to assent (to evidence or authority), to rely (by inward certainty): - agree, assure, believe, have confidence, be (wax) content, make friend, obey, persuade, trust, yield.}; persuasion, that is, credence; moral conviction (of truth, or the truthfulness of God or a called out teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly constancy in such profession; by extension the system of true (Gospel) truth itself: - assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity.
Now for Galatians 3:22-23 which reads: "But the scripture (OT) has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. For before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up until the faith which should afterwards be revealed." Now remember that Paul is speaking to those who have surrendered themselves to the yoke of Jesus through Paul's proclamation of the Resurrection Life within. The new birth from above, just one result of the Cross and our co-execution on it with our co-resurrection and later ascension to our place of origin at Father's right-hand where we currently reside, in the humanity of Jesus. Remembering that His humanity is the residence of Christ (the image and likeness of Elohiym redeemed) just as it is also ours who believe.
