Live 2 Inspire!

In Romans chapter 11 the apostle Paul prophesies of the great Apostasy and restoration of the gospel.  After Christ's death the prophets and apostles where killed.  Due to unbelief the true gospel, the priesthood and authority was taken from the earth.  v20 "..because of unbelief they were broken off"

In verse 22 it says: ".. if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off"

So, it all begins by not doing good.  We eventually become blind.  v7 "... Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded."  We cannot stand idle and do nothing and not expect to be in good standing with God.  We then begin to forget.  Forget what?  Forget our divine nature of who we really are.   We are "spirit sons and daughters of heavenly parents, and as such, have a divine nature and destiny."

We cannot stand idle and expect to "ultimately realize our divine destiny as heirs of eternal life."  Let us be the "election" that "hath obtained it."  What good do you plan to do this day?  Who will you lift up and inspire?   I've enjoyed a phrase that I need to repeat in my mind often: "Live 2 Inspire!"
