The fruit of not living for true worth in God is that we live by foolish narratives of worth, but practically this makes us void of real worth. This is what many choose, and they don’t face the truth of how worthless this makes them. God is teaching all of mankind through the Gospel to abandon these false ways of “worth” and to walk in true worth through righteousness in Christ. The cost of forsaking a true worth in living righteously is that we will commit sin in order to prop up our false worth, and this is the thing you see people working after all the time, harming others and choosing sin rather than choosing repentance and seeking true worth in Christ.

Heaven in the marriage of fullness of joy & holiness of life, these two things becoming one. When we think of goodness we often focus on receiving enjoyments, and do not look with an equal eye at holiness of life. The sin of mankind is manifest repeatedly in how we want goodness but we do not equally want righteousness. What God is revealing about heaven and the new earth is that this is place where the Lord will fill us with all the goodness we hunger for, and that heaven is a place where the righteous will live. That heaven is the marriage of both of these things. Our hope is to receive this goodness, but it must equally be held in a desire for holy people to receive this, as is just and good, and therefore giving our lives to the pursuit of this. “He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.” (Rom 2:6-8) “But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.” 2 Pet 3:13 Website: www.watchpost.org TikTok: @black.melk

Christ suffered constant opposition during His life on earth, and this opposition was shown in how people opposed goodness, reasonableness, fairness, and receiving the light and goodness He brought to this world. This is how we should view the contrariness of the world, tribulation, and persecution. What we see of sin is this trying to force people into what is harmful and wrong. People are so quick to tell others how to live, blind/indifferent to how this leads people away from what is good. What God’s ways are meant to be, is that of leading us in what is goodness, life, and truth. To be persecuted is to be opposed in this, however that happens. "And he said to them, 'Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?' But they were silent. And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart.." (Mark 3:4-5) Website: www.watchpost.org TikTok: @black.melk

When we lose sight of the purpose of the Gospel being righteousness/repentance we begin to develop a corrupt view of God's forgiveness, and this corrupts our entire understanding of forgiveness. When we think of grace purely as forgiveness this can sound good to us, but this belief can produce terrible effects in our life. It is important to see that God’s grace is FOR our repentance, to help us to truly know sin and repent of it. We must understand that the purpose of the Gospel of God is righteousness and godliness. If we do not see this as the purpose of God, then we miss our way even as we take hold of the Gospel. “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?” (Rom 2:4) “And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, ‘Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house…’” (Luke 19:8-9) Website: www.watchpost.org TikTok: @black.melk
