[QUOTE="com7fy8, post: 69982357, member: 331347"] Hi, pmb :) Hmm, I see that you are a new member here; so welcome to Christian Forums, and God bless you :) So, it is clear you are talking about "beliefs", and not necessarily talking about doing what the Bible says to do. I offer Colossians 3:15 > "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15) To me, this means God our Father wants each of us to submit to Him and how He personally rules each of us with His own peace in our "hearts". This is very personal, to be ruled by God Himself . . . in our "hearts". This is not just having a nice feeling of peace, but God's peace is in Himself in us while He is personally ruling each of us all "in one body". So, this is very close to God, right in us who are in the body of Jesus Christ. And this is very loving, how God desires to share His very own peace of His own self with us; He is sharing His own self and love with each of us (Romans 5:5) while He rules us in our "hearts" with His peace. And if He wants to rule us, I understand that ruling is all the time. But we are not perfect about submitting, all the time, to God; but with growing in Jesus we become more and more always obedient like Jesus in us > Galatians 4:19. However - - this, is not what some number of Christian church culture people are into or will talk about. They might have beliefs about God, but not a belief that our Christian calling includes how our Heavenly Father personally lives in our "hearts" while personally ruling each of us in His own peace. The Bible says we children of God "were called in one body" to this being personally ruled by God in our "hearts" > so, all are called to this, if the whole "one body" of Jesus is called to this < this is a basic of Christianity, then > God is personal, not distant like some number of Christian church culture people can make Him seem to be. He is so personal, that . . . the Bible says . . . each of us in Jesus is > "one spirit with Him" (in 1 Corinthians 6:17); personally worked-in by God Himself > "for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13) God in us works in our willing and doing of whatever He desires for us to do . . . with Him. Therefore, He does not leave us on our own, as ones say, expecting us to get our own selves to do things He wants. Ones say that God does not guide us about everything, but expects us to take care of things we can handle, on our own, but will help us if we really get stuck; but our Heavenly Father desires to personally share with each of us His children, all the time. And if you are not one of His obedient children, He desires for you to become one :) God is so personal and generously forgiving and unconditionally loving with us, yes; but this is our example, also required of us! Ephesians 5:2. And people can be not interested in loving any and all people caringly and warmly and with hope for any evil person, at all. So, we humans can set up Christian culture beliefs and practice which keep attention elsewhere . . . elsewhere from personally submitting to how God rules us in His peace, while we find out how to love any and all people > Jesus on the cross suffered and died with hope for any evil person, at all. And He expects us to follow this example > "And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." (Ephesians 5:2) This is basic Bible. Basic loving. Therefore, only God our Heavenly Father is able to correct us into all this. And Hebrews 12:4-11 tells us about the correction which only God can do, and the results of being really corrected by God Himself, and not only doing our own trying and struggling. To me, Hebrews 12:4-11 we need to actively seek God for His correction. And all your reading of anywhere in the Bible can somehow help you to walk with God in His peace while you discover how He has you loving any and all people. And we Christians need more and more of this, ourselves; therefore, may God bless you and all of us so :groupray::pray::prayer::clap::amen: [/QUOTE]
