THE HIGHEST MORTAL ATTAINMENT

Many times, when you have done evil, you have thought to charge up your acts to the influence of the evil one when in reality you have but been led astray by your own natural tendencies. Human hearth is inclined to evil, although not sinful but sometimes even desperately wicked? How easy for you to become self-deceived and thereby fall into foolish fears, divers lusts, enslaving pleasures, malice, envy, and even vengeful hatred!

Salvation is by the regeneration of the spirit and not by the self-righteous deeds of the flesh. You are justified by faith and fellowshipped by grace, not by fear and the self-denial of the flesh, albeit the Father's children who have been born of the spirit are ever and always masters of the self and all that  pertains to the desires of the flesh. And all who follow in the way of this heavenly peace are destined to be sanctified to the eternal service of the ever-advancing sons of the eternal Father, The Almighty God. Henceforth, it is not a duty but rather your exalted privilege to cleanse yourselves from all evils of mind and body while you seek for perfection in love of God.

Your sonship is grounded in faith, and you are to remain unmoved by fear. Your joy is born of trust in the divine, and you shall not therefore be led to doubt the reality of the Father's love and mercy. It is the very goodness of God that leads men into true and genuine repentance. Your secret of mastery of self is bound up with your faith in the indwelling spirit, which ever works by love. Even the saving faith is also the gift of God, and you are children of this living faith, you are no longer the bondslaves of self but rather the triumphant masters of yourselves, the liberated sons of God. You have born of spirit. You are forever delivered from the self-conscious bondage over the desires of the flesh. You start spontaneously show forth the fruits of the spirit in your daily lives. This is the highest mortal attainment.

Yeshua.
