Colossians 3:8.<br \/>\nAll means all, in my understanding.<\/p>\n<p>GRACE VS LAW.<br \/>\nHere is something to chew.<br \/>\nGrace would say that all are included before they are excluded, because when<br \/>\nJesus said on the cross it is finished, there was nothing left to do.<br \/>\nJohn 19:30.<\/p>\n<p>Law would say, that all are excluded before they are included.<br \/>\nYou have to do something, you have to measure up, which requires<br \/>\nPerformance, which is all about judging. [\u201cyou have to meet the &#8220;standard&#8221;]<br \/>\nTo judge one has to live by law.<br \/>\nRomans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one<br \/>\nthat believeth.<\/p>\n<p>IN OR OUT.<br \/>\nBeing included, is because of Calvary.<br \/>\nBeing excluded can only be because the individual makes the choice not to believe, which is the sin of the world. John 16:9<br \/>\nIn order to not to believe, I must first be told what I should believe as<br \/>\nAdam was told.<\/p>\n<p> IN THE NOW.<br \/>\n&#8220;Today is the day the Lord has made, I shall be glad and rejoice in it.&#8221;<br \/>\nI like the first word of the Bible, the word: &#8216;In (the beginning)&#8217;.<br \/>\nGod said, &#8220;IN the beginning&#8221;, not &#8216;At the beginning&#8217;.<br \/>\nThe word &#8216;in&#8217; is a NOW word, a word that is on-going and not yet finished or completed.<br \/>\n&#8216;At&#8217; (in this application) is a past tense word, and a word that denotes<br \/>\ncompletion within that time or place.<br \/>\nIf He had said, &#8216;At the beginning&#8217;, then the beginning would have been<br \/>\nfinished, and in the past, because &#8216;at&#8217; denotes &#8216;a precise time that was&#8217;, not &#8216;a precise time which is still on-going and not yet completed&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Even &#8216;the beginning&#8217; is &#8216;in God&#8217;. Nothing exists outside of Him. Awesome, how that even the first word of the Bible can have such incredible meaning.<br \/>\n&#8216;IN&#8217;&#8230; we exist because of &#8216;IN&#8217;.<br \/>\nIf it had been &#8216;At, (the beginning) then we would not or could not exist.<\/p>\n<p>[We are IN Christ, meaning an ongoing, ever present relationship.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some thoughts to ponder.
