Our Lord Jesus him to sell all he has n follow Him(that's telling him literally to be dead to the world/ be crucified to the world,)which he refused.
Meaning he has already broken the first commandment, by loving worldly things more than God.

By His Grace we keep His laws and commandments for it's impossible by man.

Luke18:
The Rich and the Kingdom of God

18A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

19“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’ a ”

21“All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.

22When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

23When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

26Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

27Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
A rich man came to Jesus asking what he must DO to inherit external Life.
But the funny thing is that the same man has been keeping the Commandments since his youth.
My question is if he has been keeping the Lords commandments since youth., what else is he seeking for?
2.why to must he have do something extra to inherit external Life, since he has been faithful in Gods commandments in his youth till date?

Isaiah64:8:Yet,O Lord,you are our Father.we are the clay,you are the Potter,we are the work of your hand.
We are in the Lord's hands,and being in His hands we are in the hands of a Potter who knows what He is after..first of all,the vessel(we) is in the Potter(our Lord),and then eventually the Potter is in the vessel.it means that,before ever the Potter starts,the vessel is in His mind,in His heart very clearly.the pattern is not something objective,the vessel is already a complete thing in Him;and then He gets to work upon it and when He is finished,He is in the vessel,He has wrought.what was in Him has come out in it(the vessel).
We say of people's work "i can see who made that,it is just like them" "that is just like so-and so to make a thing like like that".
He is in His work,He is in the vessel that He makes,and that is just what He is doing.sometimes that clay has to be pressed down to a shapeless mass,broken.it is not showing all that He intended it to show,there are defects and flaws and so He crushes it down to hopelessness..a mass without shape.but it is to start again to get something more perfect than has been before,in which He Himself is.
May He give us grace to endure whatever the trail may be,along whatever line of metaphor,the wind,the blaze,supreme heat,or pressure of His hand,all of which is to get us into a place where we cannot be moved,where hell cannot shake us.where His power is made manifest as triumphant over all the power of the enemy..

Amen

TenQ:
Perfectly said Bro!

Unfortunately, the children of the Light walk in darkness because they are blind to their inheritance in Christ Jesus.

Eccl 10:7:
"I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking as servants on the earth."


A Prince who doesn't know he is a Prince will act like a servant before his slaves while his slaves may even treat him as slaves while usurping his authority.

Stay blessed Bro

Same here bro.
We needs more revelation daily .

TenQ:
1. Who is a Lawful Captive:
A Lawful captive is one whose enslavement is by a contract!

Eg.
1. He sold himself (knowingly or unknowingly) to his task master
2. He was sold by one who has authority over him

2. Can a Lawful Captive know he is such,:
Yes and No as it doesn't matter when he doesn't know the terms of his contract.

He may know in part if he sold himself, but usually he can't even know the full term of his contract.

Eg
Untill Adam and Eve's eyes were opened, they never knew the full magnitude of what their contract with satan will cause them.

3. Who can set the Captive Free?
The Blood of Jesus is ENOUGH to break ANY chain of the captive and even take the task master captive.


4. How does a person know if he's a Captive?
Any one who notices patterns of limitations in areas of his life should pray prayers of FAITH

Well said bro.
Some of us don't kniw.one might slept in the Lord today and he's in Heaven immediately, but his live here on earth is not a good story.
We are supposed to bring down heavenly rule here on earth, but ignorantly if we don't suppress the earth rule/law with that of the heavenly by the constant application ofHis Blood, in "FAITH" our struggle will persist here on earth.
Rev12:11..And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
The above verse says "THEY" NOT EVERYBODY.
Will overcome here on earth without constant application of HIS Blood in every situation here on earth by Faith.

Bless God

Praise God

thank God then that I am not asking for your permission where the things of God is concerned.

Ok

You make so many great points here that I read your article a couple of times. Your views are in accordance with my own for the most part. This is great content for your readers. Exquisite samurai weaponry

Don't get you

delkuf:
he has save me from the condemnation of sin through his death on the cross. Well if YOU say so

True word

[quote author=Kobojunkie post=123704263]Your unturned cake analogies don't seem to fit well at all with what God said of Ephraim in the passage of Hosea 7 as He passed judgment on Israel and Ephraim more than 2600 years ago, right before He cursed and scattered the people of Israel to the ends of the earth.
None of the descriptions you gave fit with what God in fact said in the passage of Ephraim being an unturned cake. [/quote
Ok]

Amen

Aemmyjah:
The nonsense premises you dropped, does it maje any sense to you?

In other words, your words leads to the conclusion that God is the author of sin and nit Satan. U sef reason am

Dude why the insult?
Your meat might be my fish.
No need for insult

schoolboymatt:
but why?

So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good. Rom7:12
The law and commandments are Holy. Adam was created purely without sin. but there's nothing Holy in him to uphold God's moral command. God told him DO NOT EAT JUST ONE FRUIT, in the whole garden, But he still ate it. Why? Because there's nothing Holy in him to uphold Gods command.
Same with the children of Israel .
There's nothing holy in them to keep His commandments.
Ithe Holy Spirit in a believer aids him to uphold His laws.

schoolboymatt:
so Man was created to fall, just so He could be offered salvation?

I am confused sir.

So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.1Cor15:45
The first Adam was a shadow/prototype of the last Adam who is the main purpose from the beginning.

NNTR:
1 Timothy 2:13-14
13 For Adam was created first, and then Eve.
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and broke God's law.

You're absolutely spot on brother.
I couldnt concur more with this statement: Yes, God knows how His creation will end even before He started creation. He knew Adam would sin from the beginning.

Adam, disappointed himself. He failed to live up to his ability and capability. He was not deceived, just as 1 Timothy 2:13 states, but instead opted to misplace his priorities and chose to squander away his potential

Wow, I love this about Adam being a shadow of who is to come.

I would complement it with, saying, Adam is a shadow of, who he is to become, which the second Adam, by taking Adam's place, would make possible, Genesis 1:27 'lets us make man ... after our likeness' to take place and become a reality, exactly what the Godhead desired. The desire of making man, (i.e. human beings, humankind) copies of God

Yes, about the salvation aspect, Ephesians 1:4, actually says: just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. In love

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

Thanks, bro.
Some Christians don't know that before God started creation, He foreknew that his created beings(angels and man) will disobey. and in the Godhead, there was nothing like obedience. there was nothing to obey in the beginning. obedience was not in the constitute of the Godhead in the beginning. you can't give what you don't have. that's the reason for the title The Father and Son within the Godhead. Authority by The Father must be answered by obedience to The Son. By so doing obedience was created in the universe by The Son.
Philipians2:5-9....5In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6Who, being in very nature a God,

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

7rather, he made himself nothing

by taking the very nature b of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

8And being found in appearance as a man,

he humbled himself

by becoming obedient to death—

even death on a cross!

9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place

and gave him the name that is above every name,

10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

People thought creation ended in Genesis but His creation ends on the Cross of Calvary. when He said "It is finished"....John19:30.

Dtruthspeaker:
Did you not know from the beginning that your child will drink hypo and die?

Stupidity ki you there.

No need for insult dude.
Adam was a shadow of who is to come.
For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.Collosians2:17.
If the Israelis didn't break the break the law,Salvation will never be accepted.
Heb10:1

Version
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. Isaiah46;10
Yes,God knows how His creation will end even before He started creation.
He knew Adam would sin from the beginning .
He even purposely gave the children of Israel His laws through Moses for them to break it.
