Discovering Original Mercy

The
Mercy Papers (3)
The
Church’s mission is to change the world for Christ’s sake.
Paul:
“Don’t copy the behaviors and customs of this world, but let God transform you
into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do;
and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect His will really is.”
Worldly
religionists reimagine reality: “People created God in their own
image. People patterned God after
themselves.”
Wordly
believers follow Jesus by the book with enthusiasm and without
equivocation.
With
Jesus as Master and the Bible as manual, the Church prays God’s “will be
done here on earth, just as it is in heaven.”
Kung:
“…[The Church’s agenda is]…to discover what is permanent…originally meant,
before it was covered with the dust and debris of two thousand years…This is
not another gospel, but the same ancient gospel rediscovered for today!”
Worldly
religionists reverse the order of sovereignty: “I know that’s what Jesus
and the Bible say, but we think…”
Wordly
believers follow Jesus by the book with enthusiasm and without
equivocation.
While
there are instances of correspondence, worldly religionists and Wordly
believers disagree irreconcilably on the existential within the context of
the eternal.
Worldly
religionists wink at eternity in favor of egocentrically existential
satisfactions occasionally coincidental to Jesus by the book.
Wordly
believers favor the eternal over the existential; praying/practicing
satisfactions increasingly conforming to Jesus by the book.
Worldly
religionists elevate ego over revelation; prompting/promoting inherited,
imagined, and learned behaviors.
Wordly
believers subordinate ego to revelation best expressed/enfleshed in Jesus
and explained in the Bible; transforming inherited, imagined, and learned
behaviors by attending to rather than contending with over 2K years of
Biblical, confessional, constitutional, historical, traditional, and common
sense Christianity.
Worldly
religionists embrace and enable the naturally inherited, imagined, and
learned behaviors.
Wordly
believers overcome natural behaviors by supernatural regeneration;
feeling/being born again from above by grace through intimacy
with Jesus.
Worldly/natural
behaviors are irregular, inverted, irascible, and irreconcilable.
It
is natural to divide and destroy by class, color, gender, religion,
politics, and other idolatrous human inventions
Wordly/supernatural
behaviors love through grace and mercy.
It
is supernatural to unite, esteem, and extend agape, forgiveness,
joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, humility, and
self-control without discrimination, segregation, or degradation.
Worldly
religionists bow at the altar of naturally inherited, imagined, and learned
behaviors: being “born this way” becomes normative.
Wordly
believers bow only before God and pray/seek/labor to overcome naturally
pejorative behaviors insulting God’s holiness and injuring God’s children by
supernatural deliverance available to anyone through increased intimacy with
Jesus by the book as guided by the Holy Spirit.
While
the worldly will rationalize natural behaviors insulting God’s holiness
and injuring His children, the Wordly know they must first transform
themselves by conforming to Jesus by the book before changing the world
for Christ’s sake.
If
we really want to get along, the natural must be abandoned in favor of the
supernatural.
“Something
by Someone more divine” is the only antidote to “It’s only human/natural.”
It’s
only human/natural to hate, hit, and hurt.
Love
through grace and mercy isn’t natural.
It’s
divine.
Simply,
the world won’t change for the better to everyone’s benefit without the Word.
“Being
born this way” is not the answer to the meanness, madness, misery, and
miscreance of the world because natural birth embraces and enables the
meanness, madness, misery, and miscreance.
“Being
born again and from above” is the supernatural solution to
natural ailments.
As
the Word salts, shines, and leavenates, the world turns righteously.
