God is faithful. He always supplies our needs. Grace-motivated giving is the way to go. If God is in it, God will pay for it. Giving is a commemoration of grace since God the Father gave His Son as the ultimate gift to humanity. Giving in grace demands proper motivation. “Each one of us must do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves the well-motivated giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)

Your spiritual profile is your spiritual maturity. When God looks at you, what is the profile He sees in your life? Look into the mirror of God's Word and get a realistic self-image of who you are. “But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. " (James 1:22) “The Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’ (1 Samuel 16:7)

Jesus Christ took our personal sins on the cross. Christ paid for them. God the Father judged Him in our place. “He [God] made Him [Christ] who knew no sin [that’s the sins perfection of Jesus] to be sin for us [He assumed our sins on the cross] so that we might be made the righteousness of God through Him” (2 Cor 5:21). Recovery from sin is based on the work of God, grace, not any works on our part. God the Father did not forgive our sins on the cross, He judged them and canceled them out. “I am He Who blots out your sin for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins” (Is 43:25). When you sin, you break fellowship with God. To restore fellowship you need to use rebound, confess your sin through silent prayer. There is only one sin that’s unforgivable and that’s the sin of unbelief - someone failing to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the anointed Son of God (1 John 5:10). The source of all sin is our volition.

God expects you to be trustworthy. Two essential attributes are faithfulness and reliability. The trustworthy believer “lives by faith not by sight” (2 Col 5:7). Faith is an attitude that is learned. It’s confidence in God and His Word. Faith needs to be developed by learning God’s Word. “Grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18). Being faithful to God means you have spiritual muscle. There are over 7,000 promises in the Bible. Do you have the courage, dependability and reliability to stand on those? Faith stands firm in God’s promises, but you need to know them. Faith gives you the ability to see what’s going on in the angelic conflict. Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica, “we speak proudly of your perseverance and your faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure” (2 Thess 1:4).

You have a mind and a heart, the invisible parts of your soul. Wisdom is stored in the heart and learned in the mind. When you hear the teaching of the Word of God and you learn it, it doesn’t do any good until you apply it in your life. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Prov 1:7). The objective of life is to get as much Biblical wisdom as possible to have foresight and discernment to make good decisions. Without humility, you can’t orient yourself to God’s gracious wisdom. “Arrogance only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice” (Prov 13:10). The wisdom of God is never relative - it is always absolute. It doesn’t change. Divine viewpoint—a lifestyle of wisdom—is the highest form of happiness that can exist in this life. It is the sum of the Word of God you’ve learned and applied in your life.

Volition is the chooser, the decider in your soul. Developing a FLOT line in your soul is positive volition. Negative volition is refusing to believe or learn the Word of God. Negative volition is also refusing to rebound a known sin. “If I regard inquiry in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” (Ps 66:18). If the Holy Spirit is quenched in your life by unconfessed sin, then there can be no faith perception because you’ve shut off the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit. Many Christians fall into negative volition by being distracted by the details of life. That’s why we’re told in the Bible to put on the full armor of God to withstand the lures of the devil’s world (Eph 6:11-17).

God directs you to stay in fellowship with Him by using rebound (1 John 1:9) whenever you sin and to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. We all have a sin nature. It will neutralize you if you allow it. That’s why building a FLOT line in your soul is so important. Allowing your sin nature to control your thoughts and actions will make you weak and take you out of the plan of God. “The flesh (sin nature) wars against the Spirit and the Spirit wars against the flesh, they are contrary one to another” (Gal 5:17). If you don’t rebound your sin, divine discipline will either break you or it’ll take you. “Don’t be deceived, God is not mocked. Whatever man sows, he’s also going to reap” (Gal 6:7). While God forgives sin, He does not necessarily remove the consequences.

When you sin, it’s always against the Lord. It’s not against anyone else. As a Christian, when you sin, you break fellowship with God, you quench the Holy Spirit, and you try to live the Christian life in your energy, in your way, and it won’t work. We fool ourselves if we think our sin affects only us. Disobedience to God can bring hurt and ruin even upon the innocent. Sin’s effects go beyond the initial sinner. “Whoever is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household, but he who hates a bribe will live” (Prov 15:27). Obedience is a consistent Bible theme. God’s blessings on nations and individuals are connected to those who are faithful and obedient to His commands.

If you hate someone, even if you haven’t killed them, you’ve committed mental murder. You are not allowed, as a Christian, to hate anyone. “Do not let bitterness rule your life or hatred or implacability or even malice” (Eph 4:31). The real you is what you think. Your spiritual life is lived in your thoughts, in your desires, and in your intentions. “Let none of you suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as an evildoer or as a busybody in other men’s matters” (1 Pet 4:15). Sticking your nose in someone else’s business is one of the worst things you can do. The Bible says, “If you judge, you will be judged.” Your rebellion to God and His laws will make you a subject of Satan’s plan and his desire to vindicate himself by using you as a sucker. Don’t let human viewpoint, the thinking of the world, manipulate you into doing something stupid. Get control of your emotions. God will handle injustices.
