"It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words That I Have Spoken To you are Spirit And Are Life.
"But there are some of you who do not believe."

For JESUS Knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe and who it was that would betray HIM.
And HE was Saying,
"For this reason I Have Said To you, that no one can come to ME, unless it has been Granted him From The FATHER."

As a result of this many of HIS disciples withdrew and were not walking with HIM anymore.
JESUS Said therefore to the twelve,
"You do not want to go away also, do you?"

Simon Peter answered HIM,
"LORD, to whom shall we go? YOU have The Words Of Eternal Life.
"And we have believed and have come to know that YOU Are The Holy ONE Of GOD."

JESUS Answered them,
"Did I MYSELF not Choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

Now HE meant Judas of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray HIM.
John 6:63-71.

Just as It Is Written here and Is Written throughout The Sacred Writings, 'It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing.'

Some believe that verse 65 here, "For this reason I Have Said To you, that no one can come to ME, unless it has been Granted him From The FATHER.", speaks in a way that it is where certain beliefs such as calvinism will stand by its own doctrine.

Though calvinism is not the reason I am writing here, I will just briefly make the valid point of what they believe for the point of its lie being known, according to Scripture, and not according to my own interpretation of it.

Calvinism and those who believe like them stand on that they are chosen of GOD since before The Foundation Of the world because, to them, John 6:65, speaks plainly, in their own understanding, that those who believe in JESUS, as they do, have been granted their status as Saints and are Heaven bound.
And in what is, before GOD, a most arrogant belief of theirs, there are those for whom it has not been granted them from The FATHER as has been to them; and that these have been born only to burn.

They believe this even though GOD States throughout HIS Word that there is no partiality with HIM.
(Deuteronomy 10:16-17, 2 Chronicles 19:6-7, Proverbs 24:21-26, Ezekiel 33:1-20, Matthew 22:16, Romans 2, Galatians 2:6, Galatians 6:7-8, Ephesians 6:5-10, 1 Peter 1:13-25).

They believe this even though we are clearly instructed ourselves that we show no partiality,
...Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also may be fearful.
I solemnly charge you in The Presence Of GOD And Of CHRIST JESUS And of HIS Chosen angels, to maintain these without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.
1 Timothy 5:20-21.

And they will believe this, even though we are also told,
But The Wisdom From Above is first Pure, then Peaceable, Gentle, Reasonable, full of Mercy and Good Fruits, Unwavering, without hypocrisy...
James 3:17.
Look at what each of these truly means, and of the first one named, of The Wisdom From Above being, Pure, to the last statement of It being, without hypocrisy.

It is to know this, understanding that GOD Is Just And Righteous; HE Cannot lie; HE will not know to act in contradiction to HIS Word; and we are Called to be imitators of HIM (Ephesians 5:1-2); we are Called to die to sin that we may live to Righteousness (Romans 6:16-18).

For The LORD Gives Wisdom; From HIS Mouth Knowledge And Understanding.
HE Stores Up Sound Wisdom For the upright; HE Is A Shield To those who walk in integrity, Guarding The Paths Of Justice and HE Preserves the way of HIS Godly ones.
Then you will discern Righteousness and Justice and Equity and every Good course...
Proverbs 2:6-9

...For the Scripture Says, "Whoever believes in HIM will not be disappointed."
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek (Gentile); for The Same Is LORD Of All, Abounding in Riches For all who call upon HIM; for "Whoever will call upon The Name Of The LORD will be Saved."...
Romans 10:11-13.

...And my Message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but In demonstration Of The SPIRIT and Of Power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on The Power Of GOD.

Yet we do speak Wisdom among those who are mature; A Wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak GOD'S Wisdom in a Mystery, the Hidden Wisdom, Which GOD Predestined before the ages to our Glory; which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood It, they would not have crucified The LORD Of Glory; but just as It Is Written,
"Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard and which have not entered the heart of man, all that GOD Has Prepared For those who love HIM.
But To us GOD Revealed Them Through The SPIRIT; for The SPIRIT Searches all things, even The Depths Of GOD...
1 Corinthians 2 (v 4-10).

Clearly then, this is a belief which goes against Scripture as shown here, albeit shown briefly, being a belief that is clearly contradicting The GOD Breathed Word in many places and with it the True Purpose Of GOD The FATHER, for the world, In HIS SON JESUS CHRIST The Righteous.
(John 3:16-17, 1 John 2:1-3, 1 Timothy 4:10-11).

"The person who sins will die.
The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

"But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all MY Statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
"All his transgressions which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his righteousness which he has practiced, he will live (John 3:36, 2 Corinthians 5:14 - 6:10).
"Do I Have any pleasure in the death of the wicked," Declares The LORD GOD, "rather than that he should turn from his ways and live?...
Ezekiel 18 (v 20-23)
(Lamentations 3:19-66, 2 Peter 3:8-9).

But the reason I am here writing is to show from this Scripture in John towards those who have withdrawn from JESUS.
That though they profess to believe in HIM and stand on HIS Name, they cannot even recognise to see that they are not walking with HIM anymore, they are not living truly confessing HIM before men. (Exodus 20:7, Matthew 7:21-23).

And they walk standing on HIS Name falsely and in vain, through their luke-warmness (Revelation 3:14-22), and they have done so through their believing false teachings, being without Knowledge, misunderstanding and consequently misinterpreting The Scriptures and consequently their hearts are far from GOD, having become dull.

With their lips they confess, but their hearts are far removed from GOD in their holding to doctrines and precepts of men, their love has grown cold and so they are walking in such a way and all the while being apart from repentance.
And remaining so, they can never realise for themselves The Truth Which Leads to Life.

And in their preaching and their open example of what is shown, given as what means to be a Christian, being seen and believed on by others, they are deceiving and being deceived away from The Truth as to what GOD States In HIS Word To all, Through HIS Holy Apostles and Prophets, all HE truly Has for those who love HIM and how The Testimony of this shall be seen and known.

They are not walking with their spirit (sentiment element) being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT, but they are walking merely according to the flesh; and we are told, flesh and blood cannot Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD.
The flesh cannot sanctify; but it is GOD Through HIS SPIRIT WHO Sanctifies, through faith (1 Corinthians 15:45-58).

We are told in Scripture that believers reside here on earth as aliens; those, who though here in the world, are not walking as those who are of the world, always learning not to be as they once were in their ignorance to The Truth; that they look to no longer walk according to the deeds of the body and will always be walking looking not to do so.
(2 Thessalonians 2:13 - 3:2).
They shall know repentance when they stray from The Narrow Path, and this, to the overcoming of sin that they may share HIS Holiness (Romans 12:1-3).

And it is these who stand in The Truth just as Truth Is In JESUS; who are Chosen according to The Foreknowledge Of GOD The FATHER By The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT and chosen in and by no other way, regardless of whatever else is preached and believed on; because this is what is contained in Scripture; and GOD'S children shall believe their FATHER, who are Chosen according to the Foreknowledge Of GOD The FATHER, By The Sanctifying Work Of The SPIRIT, that you may obey JESUS CHRIST And Be Sprinkled With HIS Blood: May Grace And Peace be yours in Fullest Measure. 1 Peter 1:2.

Washed, Sanctified, Justified In the Name Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST And In The SPIRIT Of our GOD.
It is GOD'S Way towards our full obedience to JESUS CHRIST; and so being Sprinkled With HIS Blood: having the Forgiveness of our sins (Revelation 1:5-6, 1 Corinthians 6:11).

...how much more will The Blood Of CHRIST, WHO Through The Eternal SPIRIT Offered HIMSELF Without blemish to GOD, Cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve The Living GOD?... Hebrews 9:14.

Even so shall all be exposed in their distortion of The Scriptures and luke-warmness in how they believe and how they are walking, and with it the obvious Spiritual and eternal consequence of being Exposed By The Light, yet for the many, all the while choosing to be determined to remain apart from true repentance in it: the second death.
(John 5:28-29, Ephesians 5:13-17, 2 Timothy 2:26 - 4:4, 2 Thessalonians 1).

As The LORD JESUS Speaks; He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

The reason The LORD JESUS Speaks as HE does, Written as we have as John 6:65, and John who wrote In The SPIRIT goes on to tell all ,
'As a result of this many of HIS Disciples withdrew and were not walking with HIM anymore.',
is because of the preceding words from verse 27, culminating in,
"It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words That I Have Spoken To you are Spirit And Are Life.
"But there are some of you who do not believe."

Today, some walk, continuing to believe of themselves and commending themselves as a Christian, but the truth is that when examined carefully, according to GOD and HIS Word, they are Shown not to be (2 Corinthians 13:5).

"And A REDEEMER Will Come To Zion and To those who turn from transgression in Jacob," Declares The LORD.
"And as for ME, This Is MY Covenant With them," Says The LORD:
"MY SPIRIT Which Is Upon you and MY Words Which I Have Put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring's offspring," Says The LORD, "From now and forever."
Isaiah 59:20-21

Given this Prophetic Word Spoken through Isaiah of This New Covenant and of its fulfilment in those who truly enter into It in their turning from transgression, how is it that today and even for many centuries past, that those who profess to be Christian, (being the many thereof) will maintain division, cause and maintain strife in arrogance for what they believe of Scripture and of being a follower of CHRIST JESUS, when we are Called to be of the same mind and of the same judgement in Spiritual matters (1 Corinthians 1:10), when we are Called to be as One (John 17:22-23), Called to be of One heart and soul (Acts 4:32-35, Colossians 2:2-12), but yet they do not know to do these things, they do not know to live fulfilling such as these Scriptures, so that The Word truly bears Its Fruit in them in that they become, in that they prove to be, effectual doers of The Word?
(1 Thessalonians 2:13, 1 Peter 1:22-25, Colossians 1:5-6, James 1:19-22).

But these things are just not in them, but instead they are yet still being motivated, controlled, led by the flesh (1 Corinthians 3:1-11).
We are not Called to remain on milk, but we are to grow to maturity and with maturity the Solid Food (Hebrews 5:7-14, Matthew 25:14-30).

So who is the one lying in the witness they give in all they do and how they will so openly present themselves as being a Christian?
(1 John 5:9-21).

It is not GOD in HIS Word to us because it is impossible for GOD to lie.
"Sanctify them in The Truth; THY WORD Is Truth.." John 17:17.

So it can only be those who live being in contradiction to HIS Word, through their not understanding, through their not being able to hear; because their hearts have become dull.

...And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears The Word and understands It; who indeed bears Fruit and brings forth, some a hundred fold, some sixty and some thirty." Matthew 13:23.

"And they come to you as people come and sit before you as MY people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires by their mouth, their heart goes after their gain.
"And behold, you are to them as a sensual song by one who has a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not practice them.
Ezekiel 33:31-32

And JESUS Cried Out, "He who believes in ME does not believe in ME but in HIM WHO Sent ME.
"And he who beholds ME beholds The ONE WHO Sent ME.
"I Have Come As Light Into the world, that everyone who believes in ME may not remain in darkness.
"And if anyone hears MY Sayings and does not keep Them, I do not Judge him; for I did not Come to Judge the world, but to Save the world.

"He who rejects ME and does not receive MY Sayings, has ONE WHO Judges him; The Word I Spoke Is What Will Judge him at The Last Day.

"For I did not Speak on MY Own Initiative, but The FATHER HIMSELF WHO Sent ME Has Given ME Commandment, What To say And What To Speak.
"And I Know that HIS Commandment Is Eternal Life; therefore The Things I Speak, I Speak just as The FATHER Has Told ME."
John 12:44-50

"Hear my words, you wise men and listen to me, you who know.
"For the ear tests words, as the palate tastes food.
"Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.
Job 34:2-4

...Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable In THY Sight, O LORD, my ROCK And my REDEEMER.
Psalm 19 (v 14).

Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father and give attention that you may gain understanding.
For I give you sound teaching; do not abandon my instruction.
When I was a son to my father, tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,
Then he taught me and said to me.
"Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments and live;
Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
"Do not forsake her, and she will guard you;
Love her and she will watch over you
"The beginning of Wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding.
"Prize her and she will exalt you; she will honour you if you embrace her.
"She will place on your head a garland of grace; she will present you with a crown of beauty."
Proverbs 4:1-9.

The reason that no one can come to JESUS CHRIST unless it has been Granted him From The FATHER (John 6:37-40, & v 44-45 & v 51 & v 55-58, 1 Corinthians 10:21-22, 1 Corinthians 11:23-32) is because of their own heart; because of their own disbelief and their own choice of refusing The WORD Of GOD (John 1:1-5).

..."Not everyone who says to ME, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter The Kingdom Of Heaven; but he who does The Will Of MY FATHER WHO Is In Heaven... Matthew 7:21.

This is how we are to understand John 6:65 as saying: It does not mean that some are Called and Chosen just because they themselves approve themselves and are commending themselves as a Christian whilst some are not even offered The Free Gift By The Grace Of GOD.

But he who boasts, let him boast In The LORD.
For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom The LORD Commends.
2 Corinthians 10:17-18.

Any are Chosen because they walk as faithful, so that they may know The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT in their own heart toward the very real Expectation (Christian Hope) that Righteousness brings. (Romans 5:1-2, Galatians 5:5, Romans 15:13, Colossians 1:3-23 & v 27, Titus 2, 2 Thessalonians 2:14-17, 1 John 3:1-10, Hebrews 6:17-20).
Yet sadly still it is true, that many are Called, but few Chosen.

For we through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The hope Of Righteousness. Galatians 5:5.

The Chosen hear The Word in an honest and good heart and bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance (Luke 8:5-18, Matthew 13:4-23, Mark 4:3-25)

Through their faithfulness, GOD Through HIS SPIRIT was Able to Cleanse their heart toward The Goal of our Instruction (1 Timothy 1:5) and so they knew to do do Good Works, not as by The Letter (Galatians 2:16-21, Galatians 3:21-27) but as it becoming their very nature to do so (Matthew 25:34-39, 2 Peter 1:2-4, Revelation 19:7-10).
These are those who truly walk to know The Only True GOD And JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE Sent (John 17:3).

...So they will be Called oaks Of Righteousness, The Planting Of The LORD, that HE may be Glorified... Isaiah 61.

And when they stumbled and got it wrong, when they sinned along the way, they, through Godly repentance (2 Corinthians 7:9-11) found GOD'S Grace was Sufficient For them in their overcoming sin and to the praise of HIS Glory.

Learning to know how to walk as HIS child.
Learning to know how to speak, think, act and how to consider within themselves as truly being imitators of GOD as Beloved children (Ephesians 5:1-2, 1 Corinthians 13).

But who knows this process in their heart?
It is not all who will profess The Name, is it?
No!
For,
"Many are Called, but few Chosen."
Matthew 7:13-27, Matthew 22:1-14, Revelation 19:7-10.

... Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being Renewed day by day... 2 Corinthians 4 (v 16).

Those who are with HIM, spoken of in Scripture as yet still being future to us, are the Called and Chosen and faithful. Revelation 17:14.

Called and Chosen because they were faithful, because through their faith, being according to GOD and all HIS Word in Truth, they knew The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT in their hearts; and thus their hearts were as One with each other, and so with GOD'S Heart.

Now may The GOD Of Hope fill you with all Joy and Peace in believing, that you may abound In Hope By The Power Of The HOLY SPIRIT.
Romans 15:13.

As Paul says,
But The Goal of our Instruction is love from a Pure heart (one that has been Cleansed) and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 1 Timothy 1 (v 5).

"He who is Of GOD Hears The Words Of GOD; for this reason you do not hear, because you are not Of GOD."
John 8:47

GOD Has Known from the beginning who they are who do not believe HIM and who they are, like Judas Iscariot who was Chosen as one of the twelve that the Scriptures might have Their Fulfilment (John 13:18, Acts 1:16, Psalm 109), who are those who will ultimately live to betray HIM.
We all have free will and we are Instructed to be careful of how we walk, what we will listen to and in it who we believe.

No one of us ourselves knows this of another, for GOD Alone Sees the end from the beginning, but we are Given, in Scripture, to know how to recognise those who walk in error and protocol in what to say and what to do in each and any circumstance as it arises, and more than this, we are Given The HOLY SPIRIT: The SPIRIT Of Truth, that we may fully know to do and be able to fully obey JESUS CHRIST (John 14:15-18).

A slave will not be instructed by words alone; for though he understands, there will be no response.
Proverbs 29:19.

We need The HOLY SPIRIT, because we are helpless and hopeless on our own to establish The Law (Romans 3:31, Romans 13:8-10).

...For what The Law could not do, weak as It was through the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE Condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT...
Romans 8 (v3-4).

We do know what The Promise Of GOD Is: Eternal Life
And we are Given what the requirements are, written throughout The Scriptures in order that we might Receive The Promise by faith.

But we need GOD in all things, that we may indeed Receive What Is Promised, By Grace through faith.
Those who whole heartedly entrust their Spiritual well-being to GOD Through JESUS CHRIST, shall overcome to obtain as the outcome of their faith, The Salvation of their soul (1 Peter 1:3-25).

Therefore having been Justified by faith, we have peace with GOD Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Through WHOM Also we have Obtained our Introduction by faith into this Grace in which we stand; and we exult in Hope Of The Glory Of GOD.
And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about Perseverance; and Perseverance, proven Character; and proven Character, Hope; and Hope does not disappoint, because The Love Of GOD has been Poured Out within our hearts Through The HOLY SPIRIT WHO was Given To us. Romans 5:1-5.

Nevertheless, The Firm Foundation Of GOD Stands, having This Seal,
"The LORD Knows those who are HIS," and,
"Let everyone who Name's The Name Of The LORD abstain from wickedness."

Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honour and some to dishonour.
Therefore, if a man cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honour, Sanctified, useful to The MASTER, prepared for every Good work...
2 Timothy 2:19-21.

For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are Chosen, that they may also Obtain the Salvation Which Is In CHRIST JESUS With Eternal Glory.

It is a Trustworthy Statement:
For if we died with HIM, we shall also live with HIM (1 Peter 4:1-2, Romans 6:1-18);
If we endure, we shall also reign With HIM;
If we deny HIM, HE Also Will deny us;
If we are faithless, HE Remains Faithful; for HE cannot deny HIMSELF.

Remind them of these things and solemnly charge in The Presence Of GOD not to wrangle about words, which is useless, to the ruin of the hearers.
Be diligent to present yourself Approved to GOD as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately The Word Of Truth. 2 Timothy 2:10-15.

Paul here writes to Timothy and to us also in The Foreknowledge Of GOD, to remember JESUS CHRIST, Risen from the dead, Descendant of David, for WHO he suffers hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal, though The Word Of GOD is not imprisoned. That he endured all things for the sake of those who are Chosen; that is, the Elect; in order for the result that they may indeed hit The Mark for The Salvation Which is In CHRIST JESUS With Eternal Glory (2 Timothy 2:1-10).

This being those who indeed heed The Words of their LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST and take up their cross daily (Luke 14:26-35) and so live crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires (Romans 6:10-14, Galatians 5:22-26), which means those who indeed put on The LORD JESUS CHRIST and look to make no room for the flesh to its lusts (Romans 13:11-14), in their putting to death the deeds of the body By The SPIRIT (Romans 8:12-14), WHO HIMSELF Bares Witness to them that they are children Of GOD (Romans 8:16-17, 2 Corinthians 5:5, Ephesians 1:13-14); these bear the Testimony Of JESUS in themselves as they sojourn throughout this life (1 John 5:10, Revelation 19:10).

For our proud confidence is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in Holiness and Godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom, but In The Grace Of GOD, we have conducted ourselves in this world,... 2 Corinthians 1:12

These are the ones who shall live With HIM; because these endure With HIM through the course of this life so as to be worthy to reign With HIM Eternally (2 Timothy 2:12, 1 John 1:9-10.).

Those who deny HIM in this life are those who reject HIM in HIS Words (John 3:36, Matthew 7:21-27); who do not truly confess JESUS CHRIST in their living (Luke 12:8-12) and so, accordingly, in doing so they relinquish their faithfulness (Jonah 2:8, 1 John 5:18-21) and so they do not know and they cannot know The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT (Galatians 5:5); The Sanctification without Which no one will see The LORD (Hebrews 12:14-15): they do not believe so as to be Saved (John 11:25-26).

"It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words That I Have Spoken To you are Spirit And Are Life.
"But there are some of you who do not believe."

And we must never forget, what we do and do not do to or for HIS people, we do to or do not do, for HIM.
(Acts 9:4-5, Acts 22:7-8, Acts 26:14-15, Matthew 25:40 & v 45-46).
GOD Takes it Personally.

Because CHRIST Loves The Church and we are members Of HIS Body. Ephesians 5:30

Because he who touches HIS people, touches The Apple Of HIS Eye (Zechariah 2:8).

For even as the body (our own body) is one and has many members and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also Is CHRIST.
For By ONE SPIRIT we were all Baptized Into One Body (CHRISTS), whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), whether slaves or free and we were Made to drink (we are Irrigated) of ONE SPIRIT.
For The Body is not one member, but many... Corinthians 12:12-14

This, of course, means those who even profess to believe in and follow GOD (Romans 1:18-21) but yet still they will know to maintain division and strife (Jude:12-16), to revile and reject GOD'S Own people; HIS members of HIS Body, Of Which HE Is The Head, supposedly their own Brothers and Sisters, for whatever reason they will do so.
And in doing so they are rejecting The GOD Breathed Word and so are rejecting The GOD WHOM they claim faith in (2 Corinthians 2:10-11).

But in whatever reason they do so through their unknowing of the Oneness of the Spiritual heart of the Elect in Truth (Colossians 2:2-7), through their unknowingly judging, arrogantly condemning and refusing to pardon in any mistakes made or mistakes seen in their own judgements of what constitutes a transgression which they see or consider to be seen (Galatians 6:1-5, Luke 6:37-38); not knowing grace themselves (Colossians 4:6), not knowing mercy themselves (James 2:12-13), not knowing love (1 Peter 4:7-11, Galatians 5:13-15); and so still further being apart from Godly repentance themselves, they are all the while negating The Grace Of GOD toward themselves and with this HIS Mercy, HIS Love, which is all Freely Offered through The faith that is found in The Truth.

"A New Commandment I Give To you, that you love one another, even as I Have Loved you, that you also love one another.
"By this all men will know that you are MY Disciples, if you have love for one another."
John 13:34-35.

...for all have sinned and fall short of The Glory Of GOD... Romans 3:23.

Thus Says The LORD,
"Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30-31) and let not the mighty man boast of his might (2 Corinthians 10:17-18, Psalm 73:26-28), let not a rich man boast of his riches (Luke 12:15-34); but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands ME (Proverbs 17:14-17), that I AM The LORD WHO Exercises Lovingkindness, Justice and Righteousness on earth; for I Delight in These Things." Declares The LORD. Jeremiah 9:23-24.

But he is a Jew who is one inwardly (Romans 11:16-21); and circumcision is that which is of the heart(2 Corinthians 3:2-6), By The SPIRIT, not by The Letter(Galatians 5:16-18); and his praise is not from men, but From GOD.
Romans 2:29.

My Brethren, if any among you strays from The Truth, and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins. James 5:19-20

"It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words That I Have Spoken To you are Spirit And Are Life.
But there are some of you who do not believe."

As a result of this many of HIS disciples withdrew and were not walking with HIM anymore.
JESUS Said therefore to the twelve,
"You do not want to go away also, do you?"

Simon Peter answered HIM,
"LORD, to whom shall we go? YOU have The Words Of Eternal Life.
"And we have believed and have come to know that YOU Are The Holy ONE Of GOD."

JESUS Answered them,
"Did I MYSELF not Choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

Now HE meant Judas of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray HIM.
John 6:63-71.

John 6:63-65.
