[Sons to Glory!]

I have read and studied scripture for some time, but none of it compares with one flash of light from the Lord! I've had this a number of times - thought I really knew the scripture, but truly didn't get it until the light came. So I must disagree with all the studying being the key. Light from Him is the key. But in any case, whether one pray-reads or studies, it is His light that makes all the difference!

Okay, we are connected with Christ. Put in Him by God. Seated with Him in the heavenlies. So nothing we do makes any difference? What then do we make of the numerous exhortations to "walk in spirit"? Is there nothing we do that makes any difference? Why is there an accounting for "things done in the body"? (2 Cor 5:10) Why are we exhorted to build with the right materials, namely gold, silver and precious stone?

Again, doing anything in a rote way has no profit. But things we do according to the Spirit will have profit (like pray-reading that really reaches out to touch Him in spirit).
