Dream of dreams

"But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 1.20

When one is generated by the Holy Spirit, he is holy, pure, has character, is true, is correct, flee from evil, is perfect in the eyes of the Father, is faithful, loves God, loves his neighbor, forgives, is patient, fears God, he is a new creature, a servant, obedient, his thoughts match the thoughts of God, his word is yes, yes, no, no, and he serves Jesus with all of his heart, with all his strength and with all understanding .
But when he is generated by flesh, nothing of this happens.

How?

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He." Deuteronomy 32.4

How wonderful is the Lord our God! Everything in Him is perfect, glorious and majestic! As the bear minimum Perfect imperfection? How would the Perfect put up with a minimum of impurity? And the Most Holy bear the profane? But by faith, practiced in the Word of His Son Jesus, we are justified. Justified to be perfect, pure and holy... How can we understand such greatness?

The love God wants

"He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?' Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, 'do you love Me?'And he said to Him, 'Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.'Jesus said to him, 'Feed My sheep.'" John 21.17

Why did Jesus ask Peter if he loved Him? From my understanding, he wanted to teach about pure and true love. Just as faith requires attitude, love also requires action. Those who think that pure love is a feeling are completely wrong. It is not. Just as  and faith, it also requires sacrifices.

Listen

"But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil.” Proverbs 1.33

Listening means to obey. When we obey God's Word, faith is pure and does not allow room for doubts or fears of evil. That's a fact. Difficult is to use faith to obey. Difficult is to sacrifice the desires of the flesh. But who said that the road to salvation would be easy?

Sincere heart

"Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water." Hebrews 10.22

The Spirit of God weighs the heart and knows when it is pure and sincere or not. Because of this, David reached mercy before God. He found true repentance to reach salvation.

Life by faith

"Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10.38

Pure conscience is the good ground ready to receive the seed. The Word of God sown in this land produces pure faith. A faith that pleases God, that grants forgiveness to the greatest sinner so that he can become a partner of the Creator.

Show me the way

"In the morning let me hear about your faithful love, because I've put my trust in you. Show me the way I should live, because I pray to you." Psalm 143.8

No matter how simple the words of a prayer might be, when there is sincerity, sooner or later, the answer comes.

Small, but unshakable

"...For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17.20

God does not demand of us anything that we cannot do. Jesus teaches that the secret of faith is not in its size. For us to do great things, faith must be pure.

RIGHTEOUSNESS

"For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."     Matthew 5.20

The Kingdom of Heaven is purely righteous. Once there, you will have no memories of what is unrighteous. In order to enter, you must be righteous. 
But how can we be righteous when we are merely human and sinners? Abraham's faith, along with his obedience to the Word of God, made him a righteous man.
Therefore, you must use your faith in obedience to the Word. 

Conscience

"...providing honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men." 2 Corinthians 8:21

A pure conscience before God gives us the right to reject any kind of accusation, be it from hell or from people or even the whole world.

Sincere

"I know also, my God, that You test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness..." 1 Chronicles 29:17

The sincere belief in God does not allow us to hide anything from Him. The heart is still pure before His eyes, even amongst mistakes and shortcomings.

REFINED SILVER

"The promises of the LORD are pure, like silver refined in a furnace and purified seven times."Psalm 12:6

The Word of God cleanses and purifies. Still, every Christian goes through fire so that their faith is tested. Some break along the way for not resisting the furnace's heat, but others remain firm, in faith, and when persecution comes, they are supported by the Holy Spirit.

Confidence

"Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God." 1 John 3:21


When a child disobeys or does something wrong, his parents quickly realise because of his nervousness - he can't even look them in the eyes. In the same way, when a person has a dirty conscience, he doesn't have the confidence to ask anything from God; his faith is timid. However, those who have a pure heart have full confidence.

Precepts

"The precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes." Psalm 19:8

Human laws are flawed and are still subject to change and reform. However, the Law of my Lord remains forever, irrelevant of the times, fitting perfectly into any era. It was published so that life would be happy and joyful. It is pure and Holy and opens our eyes to see the greatness of God.
