God reveals Truth to His children.
John 14:16,17 - "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you".
Acts 2:38 - "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost".
Romans 8:1,4,5,14,16 -
(1)"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.....
(4,5) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit....
(14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God....
(16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:"
It is the Holy Spirit dwelling within Who teaches us Truth as we read the Word of God. The accepting of Truth comes naturally to the "new creation" for this new creation now has a new heart, a new spirit, because the spirit has been quickened, alive now with the very God of the universe dwelling inside, two as one joined together in a Holy matrimony, Truth flows from the Scriptures with an unresisting flow, the very God effortlessly plowing through the flesh which once stood in resistance to God's Truth.
The Truth of Freewill is effortlessly taught of the Holy Spirit as we read the Holy Scriptures. This comes naturally to the newly created child of God. A person does not gain the knowledge of the Freewill Doctrines of Grace, any more than a person one day just becomes a Christian. It takes a work of Divine enablement.
okay....I believe we have need to learn the biblical ...a,b c's to raise this issue...
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned....salvation is also ...GIVEN...by Divine enablement...they go hand in hand....
