"Perfection In Jesus"

"Oh how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men!" (Psalms 31:19) You know, if you really want to know what commitment to God looks like, well, let's just say it's pretty darn obvious! It's obvious because those around you will see proof of it in your life! Moreover, the mere fact that you are dependent upon God's provision of righteousness to be righteous, gives more boldness to the demonstration of your trust and commitment to God! It's rather interesting how that works; again, it has a lot to do with whether or not we are ashamed in any way; whether that is within ourselves, our relationship with the Lord, or, dare I speak of it, our inability to crucify the flesh and walk in new life! Fear of God is pretty much an important factor in the manner in which we move, and in our ability to yield our lives in the proper direction; as in this verse above, the instruction is pretty simple: "(Oh) how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee", is not just a recipe for success in our ability to choose the right direction, it is the yeast in the dough that makes us rise to deciding which way we should go! It is really pretty simple to understand, and does not take a whole lot of practice in our ability to get it right, just that we yield our lives in the right direction, and quit not fearing what should happen if we don't!!! The application process of what I just said can be found a little further down in Romans 6:15, where Paul is asking something of a obviously stupid question, as he says, "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid". To which he answers the question with another question concerning life or death, which is where fear steps in: "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" So let me get this straight; fear is connected with life or death, which one most demonstrates fear???
"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come upon us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgement also will lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it." (Isaiah 28:15-18)
