I cannot improve on this beautiful truth and the words used to share it.
"The danger Paul warned of in Galations, we find in Collossians, and Roman's, and Hebrews. The loss of the immense treasure of dwelling with Yeshua, in the holiest of all places.
The enemy, through condemnation, and a fear of God, taught by the precepts of men, has kept the sheep out of this glorious place of communion. Through constant pressure to please the Father by some formula. When we take this bait, we live out of condemnation, fearing always a Holy God, Who is never satisfied. This is the stumbling block, which must be cast up. We do not perceive, that by our endless offerings and unacceptable sacrifices, for all the many reasons we offer them, we are robbed and spoiled of the jewel of the Church. Intimate communion with the Father and the Son.
Election, should propel us to ever deeper rest. Rest, in a God Who never changes. Who has covenanted to be merciful to our unrighteousness and to remember our sins no more. That we might enter and abide, within the veil. That even in the tribulations and fight of faith. Even in the painful endurance. Through the chastenings, the fears, the doubts and unbelief, the Unchanging, forever satisfied Father of our Lord Yeshua, remains our constant dwelling. He will finish the work of faith with power. Why? "You did not choose Me, but I have chosen you and ordained you to bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain." David Whaley
