"Commitment To God"

"Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; to the end that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever." (Psalms 30:11 & 12) For me to put into simplistic words that which is beyond our ability to fully comprehend is far beyond my capacity or knowledge; but I pray God can assist in the interpretation of what is communicated in this posting; because my words are really not what is important, and I could type just a single word, and God could, by His Spirit, speak a thousand! There really is no need at all for great debate over whether works are important to the proof of our salvation, because works are just a byproduct of our commitment to God, and the fact that there is nowhere else we would rather be, than as close to God as humanly possible; however, if God has taken up residence within our hearts, then works will be self evident that His Spirit dwells inside of us, because the fruit of the Spirit is displayed in action!!! If you don't believe me, then think about what fruit represents, besides just something that is born out of something else; because fruit is also something to be looked upon, which means that it has the ability to display joy, peace, or love; something that others can see within our lives, and feel drawn to desire it for themselves, just as Eve desired the forbidden fruit in the Garden, but without it involving sin. Commitment to God is just like commitment in marriage, whereas you have taken a vow, and you have entered into a covenant that is for ever based upon the commitment that God has made to you! In a traditional marriage, it is the groom who initially gives his vows first to the bride, and then she responds to his promise with those of her own; so too, is our response to the Father's love, whereas, He has demonstrated His love to us by committing His Son to die on our behalf, thereby giving forth His vow first, and in the most powerful way that He could. Now it is the brides response, and what would she say to that??? "Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together." (Romans 8:12-17)
