Living Sacrifice 18
Things not a part of God's plan are a distraction - an encumbrance (Heb 12:1-2) -- we must pick up our cross making it possible to set distraction's aside (Luk 15:9). A right relationship with God makes it possible to be in a right relationship with others. The only righteousness that counts with God is that which is received by him by Grace through faith; not part of the law (Rom 3:21-25, Rom 5:1). Redemption (Rom 3:24) makes us free. The Law of Liberty applies to us (Gal 5:1), but isn't license (Jud 1:4). The Law of Love I restrict my liberty in the presence of others (1Co 8:1). Law of Expediency takes the unbeliever into account as a witness (1Co 10:23). Law of Sacrifice relates to God -- for the Church Age (1Co 9:1-27, 1Co 11:14). There is no excuse for the unbeliever -- proof is there (Rom 3:25-26). We were enemies, but now reconciled (Rom 5:1, Rom 5:10-11) -- a relationship of peace. Unbelievers are under the wrath of God but we have received mercy and grace (Eph 2:1-5). He made us alive with Christ. His purpose is to publicly display His provisions in our lives (Eph 2:6-10). Accordingly, we are to walk: (1) by faith (2Co 5:12); (2) in the Spirit (Gal 5:16, Gal 5:25); (3) in Good works (Eph 2:9-10); (4) worthy of our calling (Eph 4:1; Rom 12:3-4); (5) in the sphere of love (Eph 5:2); (6) in the light (Joh 8:12, Eph 5:8, 1Jo 1:7) (7) in wisdom (Eph 5:15) so that Eph 5:8-17 applies.
