God's Plan For Man Final

The force that gives a person life is the spirit within; it is a supernatural life giving force that is divinely linked. Wrapped in flesh for a single purpose to honor God our Creator, the spirit should comprehend perfectly—the grace to do so is always available? So, a church—a body of people with common spiritual characteristics—is one body. Linked by a common purpose; it is not a structure or building, although they may meet within one. However, if the truth is singular, serves God, and united in a spiritual body, why are there so many fundamental differences about the truth today, and so many different structures called churches? The answer is quite simple: the differences are unresolved conflicts because rules. The spirit of God does not conflict with itself, so there must be different spiritual influences. Unresolved, the spiritual darkness divides and proclaims the disunity is unity; the two are no longer one, because the light is separated by darkness. How then is God served when the unity of His Spirit is divided and truth is lacking? He can’t be perfectly be served or honored because evil is then entertained in such division!

Life’s dilemmas become resolved when there is a common goal. As one truth, the common good becomes paramount, along with the standards adopted. The truth must be the common trait evidenced by the interests and social activities, which are fellowship. The body, then, is a kind of social state or condition with a common purpose—the essence of church. If the two are one, meaning spiritually and physically, the individuals are together as a solution for one another. Shouldn’t we, as a body, possess what is necessary and hold it in common for the benefit of all? The truth is spiritual, so what about the physical? What about the moral qualities of life within those who profess the truth? Morality is absolutely necessary in order to sustain a perfect order, and profess the truth? What we eat, drink, breath demands our direct participation—we are given the worse and the world is sick not healthy. So, every person must be attentive and choose morality to be justified to profess the truth. Certainly, nothing is more important than the truth. Yet expressing the truth brings suffering:
