God is fully present in every space in the universe. And what He has designed is fully present before our eyes in creation. We can see the mind of God by our spiritual eyes. In this dimension we experience a freedom because we are rejoicing in Him, as ever present in His design , what we see with our physical eyes. And yet His dimension goes far more than just His design in creation. He has designed and thought out whatever comes to pass in our lives. So that His love is better than our lives. We are wrapped up in God in what He has designed by His thought of reality, and He is in us filling us with all that we could possibly hold. We could not hold the mysteries of Gods design.
He is rite there responding to every intent of our hearts because He has thought before we think. He is there telling us when we sin, i will remember your sin no more. He is there when everyone turns their backs on us thinking in us that he remembers His love and His faithfulness to His people. He is intercepting the grief caused by our thoughts with His pre ordained design in the glory of our seeing Christ in a glass, and being changed by that glory. What He thought in eternity has been designed in our thoughts to bring us back from grief to rejoicing by the power of His thoughts interwoven with our thoughts to bring us to a rejoicing beyond our design. This joy far outweighs earthly happiness. Yes this is the dimension we are to live in. Do you think with your mind He has given in the new birth, do you see with the spiritual eyes, do you hear with the spiritual ears, to you feel with the spiritual sense? He is the author of all things!

The
catholics are semi p.. They believe in justification by faith,
but they believe that it is infused, and we believe that it is imputed.
The catholics see that he original infusion of justification by faith
must be replenish by an ongoing participation of the sacraments and the
mass. They believe that good works cause a new infusion of
justification.
Armianist believe that justification by faith as imputed, but a persons faith is the cause of the justification. So they believe that the faith is by grace but the person has a self determined will and has the ability to choose whether to believe or not to believe.There is confusion in this position as to what the definition of grace which is unmerited favor because in armianism man is given an ability to believe which grace does not allow. We believe that there is nothing in man that can obtain salvation. It is all of grace, even the believing. We reject self determined will, we say that it is no will at all, it has no cause. We believe that you must be regenerated before you can believe. By regeneration we believe that man is dead in sins and trespasses, that a dead man cannot respond to the gospel, a dead man has not spiritual ability. We believe that a dead man must be made alive by and act of God in giving new life to the soul. This new principle is an application to the mind of divine knowledge, so that once a man knows who Christ is then He can rely upon Him completely. We believe that the other side of faith , in obeying the gospel is an act of God in which God destroys the old will and gives a man a new will, causing a man to walk in His ways. We believe in sovereign grace .God has chosen to give salvation to some men while choosing others to go to hell, before the foundation of the world. |
