The perfect law is love others as God has loved us,treat them as God has treated us,showing mercy and grace and a forgiveness of the worst possible sin,we are no longer bound by written law,but are guided and corrected directly by God and the Holy spirit.

We are taught to obtain knowledge and retain it from a young age,but we are not always taught how to use that knowledge in everyday life.So listening to bible teaching and retaining that knowledge is often percieved as completion of the task the Lord has set us,but only by applying the word to our lives does it become a living part of our lives,changing our very nature and habits and alining us with Gods plan for our lives.I agree with Parakaleo,if we are comfortable reading our bible,we are reading it as a novel or text book not as a life manual.

Free wisdom for all those who ask for it,but wait to recieve this free offer you have to place your trust and faith in God alone.The trials we go through force us to lean on God and we begin to realise that he is a true and just God and will never leave us or forsake us.

Doublemindedness?????As long as we look at life through a human filter we will doubt God and his ability to do super natural works through us and in us.Only through a God filter will we see his true awesome power.The word of God is the filter we need to see the world through,only when we are focused on him can we be truely cured of doublemindedness.

We blame God for the same reason we blame the people or situations in our lives, as humans we struggle to see our own faults and failures.God is love therefore he can not tempt us with evil,he will allow evil or the effects of evil to influence our lives as lessons and reminders that he is sovereign.People sin due to our sinful nature,we also have free will which believe it or not is in our control.Evil exists because of satans free will and sin exists because of mans free will,but God will make all things to work for good for those who love him.Hallelujah

The Lord chose to give us new life as our old spirit has been corrupted by our fleshly desires and earthly thinking,being reborn in the spirit is the relinquishing of your old spirit and allowing Gods spirit to reside in us to enable us to become more christ like.The word is our instruction manual,the nourishment that our new spirit feeds on,to enable us to grow and strengthen our faith in the Lord.

I have not always accepted the trials in my life and at one point I chose to no longer follow God.This I now realise was due to the immaturity of my faith,and the enability to trust God and submit to him being sovereign in my life.By gods Grace and mercy he never turned his back on me,and has restored me.Looking back I can now see Gods hand at work in my life shaping and moulding me for the life of service he has for me.Each trial and each temptation was making me who I am today.The removal of sin from our life is not a comfortable expierence,but a worth while one as we strive to be Christ like.
