Live Free from Sin and Ensuing Anxiety-of-Contrition
Tis the season to refresh your Body, Mind and Soul; surround the Flesh and obeying Thoughts is the work of each persons Spirit. A Transformed-Soul is saturated by the Holy-Spirit who was sent by Christ Jesus to set People-on-Fire. Not a scorching flame, but the Fervor-of-Salvation. Does it matter if the word Soul reflects the word Nefesh found in the Hebrew Bible?[1] Every Easter-Season our Lord motivates Conversion, when souls are set free from Sin and ensuing Anxiety-of-Contrition.
“If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the world. You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God: your towns and your fields will be blessed. Your children and your crops will be blessed. The offspring of your herds and flocks will be blessed. Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be blessed
Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed. “The Lord will conquer your enemies when they attack you. They will attack you from one direction, but they will scatter from you in seven! “The Lord will guarantee a blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you. “If you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in his ways, the Lord will establish you as his holy people as he swore he would do. Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of you.” (Deuteronomy 28:1-10 NLT)
The Karma, Mercy and Charisma of somebody restored to Godliness is enough reason for most forms of Religious-Worship. Is being Loving and Sympathetic towards others too simple for this complex world? Each day different cultures Mix, Mingle and Negotiate; outwardly they seem impartial, but inwards their Souls still clash. Christ clashed with certain Scholars not because of His Acts, but because He defined True-Living-Words spoken by Prophets and written by Biblical scholars. The same Living-Words moved His-Nefesh (Soul) into Life, Death and Resurrection so that people could receive Eternal-Salvation.
