1st Corinthians 2:9-16) vs 10) but God has revealed THESE THINGS to us by His Spirit.....vs 12) Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but we have received the Spirit which is of God so that we can learn, that we may know THE THINGS that God has FREELY GIVEN us in Christ......
The
gift of salvation and of the Holy Spirit together, both of them are two of the FREELY GIVEN to us things that we read about in the above scriptures. They were paid for in full by the price of Christ blood, to be received freely by us this way...but let him ask in faith nothing doubting measure. For the doubting should not think that they shall receive anything from the Lord (James 1:5-8). Unbelief and doubt are sins of the heart, spiritual sins that are worse, more robbing, and more dangerous to us than all the sins of the flesh.. See Romans 14:23 & Mark 16:15-16 and John 8:24.
The purchase price for these two precious gifts was made and paid for in full in the
ransom transaction spoken of by Christ in (Matthew 20:28). Christ gave his life and blood in the ransom transaction cost and price payment, leaving nothing else necessary for the rescue except to join him by faiths attachment to His Hard RANSOMING Labors Upon The Cross, and to unite yourself with him in the glory of His Resurrection. By this faith attachment and by this faith connection Paul preached I was crucified with Christ and Risen with Christ. All this he knew was alive in his inward part, in his inner man, in his heavenly thing, or part/place within him in the spirit, in the hidden man of the heart that God made alive with Christ and rose again/raise from the dead in the new birth with Christ as John 5:24 & Ephesians 2:1-10 & Colossains 3"1-4 teaches us)..
No one in heaven argues against the price paid by
Christ. It was a price paid that no human naturally can understand or calculate. It
reaches eternal scales and everlasting covenant measurements. It reaches and redeems the very heavenly thing itself that is within man, his spirit, then secondly renewing his soul, and finally resurrecting his body in the coming resurrection...
When Jesus
was talking to the Samaritan woman, He said if you knew the GIFT of
God and who it is that says to you, GIVE me to drink; you would have
ASKED HIM and He would have GIVEN you living water. We do not earn the
living water. It is freely given being already paid for in full in the
price of Christ blood. Jesus said...and I will ASK the Father and He
shall GIVE you another Comforter. Some things are received by the work
of faith in the asking but that does not change the fact that the gift was already purchased and paid for and it is freely given.
All gifts have had a buyer/a purchaser and all gifts have a receiver. One pays for it. The other receives the gift already paid for with thanksgiving. We receive the gifts of God one and all by His giving and by our asking and receiving in faith . Whatever Jesus paid for in the blood of his
cross at Calvary is FREELY GIVEN lest the purchase was fraudulent and lacking in the needful price. But lacking here was impossible. For God himself who is worthy of far more greater honor than all He has created, He himself paid the awesome price with His own bodies blood. THE BUILDER OF ALL THINGS HIMSELF PAID THE PRICE WITH HIMSELF AND HIS BODY AS THE PRICE AND AS THE PAYMENT. Believe God in this light. He left nothing lacking in the price He paid, It was far far far more than enough. Actually He made a great over payment. He did so that no accuser could justifyingly win his accusing case against even the chiefest of sinners that called upon the name of the Lord. By the over price that God Himself paid, all of hells accusers and its gates could not prevail against them whose faith in Christ is accounted unto them as their righteousness unto eternal life by faith in Jesus who saved them thru His Cross and raised them unto God when he rose again and ascended back unto the Father in the Throne. For He bought them with His Own Life and Blood Price, the price of himself. We
open our hearts to Christ believing/asking saying Lord I know and believe in the love you have for me beholding the GREAT PRICE YOU PAID FOR ME THRU THE CROSS. Come Into My
Heart and make me Your Home. Save me from my sins. Teaching me your love that i may live the life of the love of God and faith.. He will if we in faith ask......
If we believe that Jesus died for
our sins and rose again for our living hope and for our justification,
this living and constant faith is our new covenant constant righteousness...it causes Gods Word to re create
us in the spirit, in the hidden man of the heart by the mix of our
hearts faith with the gospel. Like unto the seed of man, when it successfully mixes with the egg in the mothers womb for the conceiving of a new child, even so it is with our hearts, our spirits, when our hearts faith mixes itself with the planted imperishable/incorruptible seed of the gospel of Jesus Christ (See Hebrews 4:2-3 & 1st Peter 1:23-25). By this our spirit heavenly profits, the hidden man of the heart is born again, recreated in Christ Jesus in righteousness and in true holiness after the image of the Holy Spirit it's Father (See 2 Corinthians 5:17. Ephesians 4:24,, Galations 5:15.)....Then after we are saved, after we have passed from death unto everlasting life in the spirit- John 5:24 & Ephesians 2:1-10), then after we have been born again in the spirit (Ephesians 1:12-13), we go on to our own personal
Pentecost as the believing disciples did who first trusted in Christ,
when they went to the upper room to receive what Christ said to them
would be the other Comforter freely given because they first trusted in him John 14:16-17). Then once we
have become in the spirit new creatures in Christ, and then afterwards
have become One Spirit with the Lords Holy Spirit (1st Corinthians 6:17), we are to learn more and more to walk in
newness of life (Romans 6:4,11) in the fellowship Christ suffering (Philippians 3:8-14). A fellowship paid for us to have
with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ in love under grace but not under the Law. In glorious freedom and fellowship with God as our Father, even much more than Abraham had who knew not of the Law of Moses but the glory of God responding to the Law of faith that well pleases God above all the Law of Commandments...For the Law worketh wrath, but faith is always justifying in the sight of God all those who really have it. For not all men have faith.
Friends Jesus said salvation/living water/the Holy Spirit are all three gifts given to us from the Father. They were all paid for in full by the price of the sacrifice of Christ, the pearl of incredible price, for us to have each of them freely given to us by the only price we have to pay, which is the mix of faith which is our new covenant right and righteousness to receive them......
Jesus told the woman of Samaria, for the gift JUST ASK....Jesus said, since you who are evil know how to GIVE GOOD THINGS to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT to them that ASK HIM to. Asking in faith nothing doubting is one of the toughest heavenly things for people to do (James 1:5-8). But it is this kind of faith that God has made to be our new righteousness to receive all He has freely given and has in store for us given us freely in Christ ( 1st Corinthians 2:12-16 & James 1:5-8 & Mark 111:23-25).......deno.
Comparing spiritual things with spiritual.....1st Corinthians 2:12-16....we speak in the Spirit of the heavenly things themselves.
And the meat of the Word belongs to them who are strong...
