Acts 10:34-35 New English Translation (NET Bible)

To be accepted by the King of Glory

separates you from all others

who don’t like God’s calling

and walk according to their will.

Does that make God partial

Colossians 1:9-10 New English Translation (NET Bible)

Paul’s Prayer for the Growth of the Church

9 For this reason we also, from the day we heard about you, have not ceased praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so that you may live worthily of the Lord and please him in all respects—bearing fruit in every good deed, growing in the knowledge of God,

 

Comprehension does not rise naturally

it is enlightened by the Spirit.

Revelation is received from God,

to assists our understanding.

He gives us a spiritual conscience

and lays out our spiritual tasks

as His Glory dims in us.

Then He will correct this

or renders us surely uneasy

for conscience and intuition

The Holy Spirit illuminates

a conscience to conviction.

He does so with the gospel

And He does so if redeemed.

He brings the Will of God

into the center of our focus

and takes away all excuses

to please Christ in-deed.
