So Mightily Grew The Word Of God And Prevailed: The Lord Who Is Both Lord And Christ, The Restorer Of Soul - Part 2197

"Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation His works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descended not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace." (James 3:13-18)

In so doing, we who believe in the resurrected Jesus -- who we (like Peter standing with the eleven on the day of Pentecost) know to be both Lord and Christ -- should be willingly showing His works through our conversations and deeds ... with meekness of wisdom. For we have come to know that in our day to day, Jesus is the only Way, the Truth and the Life. The One Absolute who never fails. He is the Rock which can't be moved -- the Christ who is and was and is to come. Moreover, in this current dispensation of grace, Jesus is the only Name whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12) And His Name -- the Name of JESUS is the Name above every other Name. (Philippians 2:9) 

As the scripture saith, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His Name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." (Matthew 1:21-23)

Yes, the same Spirit of the Lord God who created all things willingly became our Saviour. He shed His blood on the cross for you and I. (Acts 20:28) The same Spirit of the Lord God who moved upon the face of the waters in Genesis is the same Spirit of the Lord God who dwells within our hearts this day. Because of His kindness and love toward us, we can know the true wisdom which only comes from the Lord. (Titus 3:4-7; Acts 20:28; Isaiah 9:6)

And, as the scripture saith, the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace because the Spirit in the holy dwells within.
