26:12
12 LORD [Y@hovah], thou wilt ordain
[shaphath] peace [shalowm] for us: for thou also hast wrought [pa`al] all our works [ma`aseh] in
us. KJV-Interlinear
12 O LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for
you have indeed done for us all our works. ESV
The entirety of
the spiritual life is courtesy of God.
God the Father planned the divine plan.
God the Son is the written word and therefore the content of the
spiritual life. God the Holy Spirit is
the mechanism of all spiritual function.
All peace, which
is the one and only genuine peace in life, or in existence for that matter,
comes as a result of the completed spiritual life.
Bible doctrine is
the food and structure and means of growth and completion. The Holy Spirit communicates Bible doctrine,
filters it through our human spirit and into our soul.
Bible doctrine is
the building material for spiritual growth.
Our application of Bible doctrine is the production of the spiritual
life. All of the spiritual life operates
from inside the fellowship sphere, which is obtained by each person through
confession.
To ordain peace
means to declare peace that is certain, when the spiritual rules are obeyed and
followed.
Our works, refers
to spiritual work, which is the spiritual functions that exist while inside of
fellowship.
All spiritual work
is courtesy of God, in all three members of the Trinity, with respect to the
spiritual life that we have.
We cannot earn
spiritual brownie points through our efforts.
We do not deserve spiritual credit through our efforts. We can only comply, listen, learn, use and
therefore grow up. And God does all of
the work, never us.
