Spring forth!

The Holy Spirit convicts the world because of sin. And of judgement because they believe not in Jesus Christ. Discouragement comes from a weak heart. Jesus said, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten". No chastening from the Lord is pleasant and sometimes may be harsh.  What ever pressure is necessary, even to be delivered to Satan for the destruction of the flesh that some may learn not to blaspheme. To this end: that Christ may be formed in us who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. So that the peaceable fruit of righteousness may spring forth. 

Called to be saints. Not retreaded sinners.

"And you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins."
"Witnesses of the resurrection." Born again in "newness of life."
"Saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit".
It is written. "Let God be true and every man a liar". 

The called out. Called to be saints. Not retreaded sinners. But new creatures in Christ. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. We are not of those who have drawn back into perdition. If so be the Spirit of God dwells in us, we should be taught by the Holy Spirit the deep things of God not revealed to the natural man. Because God is a Spirit, and they who worship Him, must worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Abiding in the Vine, bringing forth fruit unto holiness.
