The end of man is the beginning of God

Pang William
‎...
The end of law is the beginning of Grace,
The end of work is the beginning of Faith,
The end of flesh is the beginning of Spirit,
The end of self is the beginning of Christ,
The end of man is the beginning of God.

Are you the end? Luk 7:23 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."

      Heb 3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "TODAY, IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, 8 DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS IN THE REBELLION, IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS, 9 WHERE YOUR FATHERS TESTED ME, TRIED ME, AND SAW MY WORKS FORTY YEARS. 10 THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THAT GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN MY WAYS.' 11 SO I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.' "

      Do you want another 40 years in the wilderness or ready to enter His Rest? The choice is always yours.

    • Pang William What does it mean by... The end of law is the beginning of Grace? A man's pride will also want to prove himself. That's the law of this world... the pride of life. And by the law comes condemnation if he failed. He will either condemn himself for falling short or condemn others for not helping. And condemnation kills. Only when he realized that he cannot prove himself or to the world... he comes to himself. Then Grace can begin! The sooner you come to end of law, the sooner Grace flows.

      Rom 4:5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

      What does it mean... The end of work is the beginning of Faith? Work is the opposite to Faith. Work is also referred as the work of the law (Rom 2:15). Work is unbelief... not believing Christ has finished all the work for righteousness on the cross. Work is you counting your own effort to attend righteousness. Example: I must preach the gospel so the world can be saved. By such, your faith is dissipated... and you have fallen from Grace because Grace can only be received by Faith.

      ‎1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

      Flesh is the lust we have for this world... better life, more money, bigger house, bigger diamond rings... This is where many of us failed... being flesh conscious rather than Spirit conscious. We pray for more money, bigger house, some even pray... God bless me more to give more. There is nothing wrong with having more money, bigger house... the wrong is your focus on the money not God. Money has become your master. Spirit conscious is the direct opposite - trusting God's provision and promises.

      Luk 9:24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

      Let us not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. The end of flesh is the beginning of the Spirit. Amen.

      Rom 2:8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, 9 tribulation and anguish...

      Self is the direct opposite of Love. Love gives and self only take. How do we know if we have come to the end of self? It is when the material things of this world have no hold on you. It is when your prayers are for others and not yourself. It is when your own life doesn't matter much anymore. It is when you give all that you have... That's the time the fullness of Christ lives out from you that the world shall see. The Light of the world, the salt of the earth. As He is so are you in this world... I long to see this day on earth.

      Now the last one... The end of man is the beginning of God.

      Rom 5:17 For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

      Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Now, are you living your life or is He living your life? He died, we live, we died, He lives! We need to know the man in us is dead and we no longer live but He lives in us... The end of man is the beginning of God!

      Why do we want to die to self? Why do I need to reach my end? Why can't I live as I am since He said He will provide all my needs and wants, He will protect and delivery me from all dangers, and His Grace and Mercy is upon me? Why do I need to die so that He can live... in me and through us?? Why do I need to know all these?

      Or am I already dead that I don't even know? If I am dead, then who is living now? Then who am I now?

    • Ronel Bosman The moment you accept Jesus as your Redeemer,through faith, the old old person in you dies and a new person is born. Then you live through faith, by the grace of God, to walk according to the Spirit, so that the fullness of Christ is there for all to see.......the beginning of God.

    • Pang William Ronel, that's the Truth but still why many do not want to die to the old man? Still hang on to the flesh, to the world... why? Is it a lack of Faith or not knowing the Truth? The question is... why do we need to die so he can live?... Sorry, so many whys.

    • Ronel Bosman I think so many do not "want" to let the old person die, because of the lack of knowledge of the Truth and because of that, lack of faith. It takes a while to get to know the Gospel and with the knowledge of the Truth faith grows and with that one leaves the law behind and understand that grace and faith is the way to enter the Spiritual walk and let Jesus takes over and He lives in you - the old person lives no more.

      Amen Ronel... Wow, you have just nailed the old man to the cross. Hallelujah!

      Isa 53:4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

      Joh 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

      Why do we need to die so He can live? Because the self is flesh... the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. This is the problem of man, the problem of this world. This was in our old man that died on the cross.

      Jas 4:1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

      Why do we want this rotten world when we have a perfect one in us? Why do we seek the things that parish when we have the better things that last for eternity? Why hold on to the dead and not living the Life?

      Rom 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

      Rom 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

      Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

      Rom 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit... That's why you need to die so He can live. Indeed you already dead, but you need to know, so you don't live the dead but the Life - the Life of Christ! If indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you... you shall Live! and live Life more abundantly! Amen.

THE END OF MAN IS THE BEGINNING OF GOD. THIS STATEMENT IS MUCH LIKE THE EXAMPLE WATCHMAN NEE GAVE IN DESCRIBING A SINNER WHO CANNOT BE SAVED UNTIL HE GIVES UP, OTHERWISE HE MAY PULL HIS RESCUER DOWN WITH HIM.

JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE TO HEAR, SINCE ONLY GOD REALLY IS! MAN WAS CREATED TO BE HIS ETERNAL BRIDE AND DWELLING PLACE. CHECK OUT REVELATION 21:2,9-10. HERE YOU WILL SEE WHAT GOD IS REALLY DOING. HIS INTENTION IS NOT THAT MAN WOULD GO TO HEAVEN, BUT RATHER THAT MAN WOULD BECOME HEAVEN BY GAINING THE LORD'S LIFE DAY BY DAY. GOD DISPENSES HIS LIFE INTO MAN. YOU WILL FIND THE WORD IN
EPHESIANS 1:10 & FIRST TIMOTHY 1:4. HIS LIFE IS UN-CREATED AND INCORRUPTIBLE. HALLELUJAH!!!

IN ETERNITY THERE WAS ONLY GOD. AND THROUGH THE DISPENSATION OF HIS LIFE TO BUILD HIS CHURCH, AND THROUGH THE MERCY AND GRACE OF GOD IN THIS AGE, IN ETERNITY FUTURE, THERE WILL BE JUST ENTITY: THE DIVINE INCORPORATION OF GOD AND MAN, MAN AND GOD INTO ONE CONSUMMATION: THE NEW JERUSALEM CONSISTING OF A NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH. IT IS THE REASON WHY PAUL, THE APOSTLE, IN HIS FIRST LETTER TO THE CORINTHIAN BELIEVERS SAID THAT HE COUNTED ALL THINGS LOSS TO GAIN CHRIST. (FIRST CORINTHIANS 3: HE WOULD PURSUE HIM TO LAY HOLD OF HIM, BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN HE HAD BEEN LAYED HOLD OF BY HIM. IT IS THE SAME WITH US TODAY. WE ALSO HAVE, OR WILL BE, CALLED UP INTO HIS GLORY TO BECOME THE NEW JERUSALEM, THAT GOD IS BRINGING DOWN TO EARTH.
HE WAS TO FORGET WHAT LAY BEHIND AND STRETCH FORTH TO WHAT LAY AHEAD TO PURSUE TOWARD THE GOAL FOR THE PRIZE TO WHICH GOD IN CHRIST JESUS HAD CALLED HIM UPWARD. (FIRST CORINTHIANS 3:14) WE ARE NOT DIFFERENT, FOR HE WAS THE LEAST OF ALL THE APOSTLES AND ALL THE SAINTS. HE WHO HAD THE CHRISTIANS TRACKED DOWN AND STONED TO DEATH BECAUSE THEY CALLED UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, EVERY PLACE THEY WENT. OH LORD JESUS! SAVE US ALL FROM OUR PRIDE, OUR MIND AND OUR FLESH THAT KEEPS US FROM YOU. HELP US TO SET OUR MINDS UPON YOU BY CALLING UPON YOUR PRECIOUS NAME.
