"Joyful is Our Place before HaShem"

I enjoy hearing through the course of casual conversation at times that some faithful are clear and seemingly secure in their their faith in Elohim Avinu (G-d the Father). Some however, attempt to clearly try to sound convincing, though their posture and body language belie their professions. Of course we would all like to know our standing firm in Him and to secure ourselves a place in His Kingdom. Some would have us come to believe that they desire to, now that they are accepted yet stand as insecure, it reveals their immaturity in faith; they are but babes who must yet grow into their faith or they would not genuinely seek the answers in matters of faith were they merely posing as faithful.

If it is that we truly desire to know our position before HaShem (G-d), we must first be a person standing firmly in faith. To understand where we stand before HaShem, we must first illustrate our faith in both word and deed; living a righteous life in the eyes of HaShem, to follow the prescription of His path. Paul tells us, “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” – {Qorinti'im II/2 Corinthians 13:5}

For it is only in living in Yehoshua that we may truly know Yehoshua; We must live in Elohim Avinu as He also lives in us as. Our recognition and devotion to this acceptance is truly the only way to maintain supreme confidence of our standing before HaShem beyond doubt or question. The answer to our quandary, ‘are we in good standing before HaShem?’; the answer is to have perfect confidence, not in our selves and on our own righteousness, but rather more importantly, are we in perfect confidence in our adherence to the word and spirit of Elohei Mikkarov (the G-d who is near), our Rock and Redeemer? If we may answer to this in the affirmative, we can be assured we are in good standing before He who freely laid down His life that we may eternally live in grace, love harmony and joyful praise.

Steeled in our honoring faith, we know for certain “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Yehoshua came into the world to teach The Way before sinners.” Look toward Yehoshua and find in steeled faith and in belief in His instruction, do this and we are assured of our position as one of our Father's, for as surely as we believe, we are chosen. If we shall give ourself wholly up to The Way of Ha’ Moshiach (the Anointed One) and trust fully in Him, we then are indeed one of Elohim Avinu chosen people. For it is impossible to know our state of standing before HaShem; lest we are living in Him and He living through us.

For living in faith, upon the prescribed path of righteousness of Yehoshua and of The Way, brings us the unshakable confidence of Rauch Ha' Chodesh (Holy Spirit) which shall forever in faith be graciously and generously supplied to us, that in earnest we shall be able to say within all the confidence of creation “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Yehoshua Ha' Moshiach.” (1 Corinthians 3:11)

We, remaining strengthened beyond steel, living as one people in the body of His people, stand in defined unity, faith and kindred spirit in The Way of truth, completely devoid of petty arbitrations upon that which serves no good purpose in unifying the faithful to rally beneath the banner of Elohim Avinu pursuing His goodness, peace, love, charity and unleashed eternal hope. Only through the loyalty to His banner, may we truly know and comprehend our place as a chosen one before our Elohei Chasdi (the G-d of my kindness); we cannot learn this certainty in any other manner than in faith before Elohei Ma'uzzi (the G-d of my strength).

Be certain and sure footed within the love of HaShem and our place among His chosen…. “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.” – {Yochanan/John 15:10}

There shall be no doubt about His having chosen us jsut as we have chosen Him; “Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore G-d, thy G-d, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.” – {Tehillim/Psalms 45:7}

Loving Faithful, we are surely redeemed and preserved in His peace as we have paid the price in undaunted faith to remain a faithful servant among His Kingdom come through Elohim Avinu's election. We who dedicate our lives, hearts and spirit to the love, faith and bountiful mercies of HaShem share the path of The Way following Yehoshua Ha’ Moshiach; “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” – {Petros I/1 Peter 4:8}

Be not in blind faith, but through undaunted faith with eyes to see, we stand strong in commitment of service before Elohim Avinu and with great gratitude, praise His grace upon us as share the God News of His peace.
