insensitivity

CONSOLIDATION:
To do the work of God is to believe in Jesus, the One God sent to us to save us from sin (harm) and evil. That said, don't be insensitive to His communication toward you; He wants and can enable you to live like He does, and wants to keep you. Believe and be saved! Listen to and learn from what God says so you can tell the difference between right and wrong. This will help a lot, make it natural for you to home in as God draws you in to believing in Jesus, who came from Him, and be saved.

You'll find out Jesus' teachings come from God when you choose to apply the principles of God to your life (this will help you believe in Jesus). This work will honor God and make you a man or woman of truth. Then you will have given glory to God, and that's a great thing. If you are insensitive to this, then you're a goner because you won't be able to believe.

Being forceful and sensitive helps you see God's call unmistakably and take the right actions, proving your alignment with God. As you begin really hearing (understanding) God's message, He will enable you to hear more and more.

Giving helps you get out of yourself and become sensitive to others. When you get to keep what you want (the Lord), you give up the rest.

Openly showing others the evidence of God in your life will be rewarded with more life from God. As we sow the word of the gospel in receptive people’s hearts, God makes it grow. Jesus is our Life! Through His death on the cross and resurrection three days later we receive forgiveness of our sins and eternal life, when we repent and believe in Him as the Christ, the Son of God. Then God lives in us! Go tell people! Don't be afraid! God will enable you and bless you with peace, so have no fear. Don't be insensitive to His words!

If you're insensitive (hard-hearted), you won't sense God, and His presence and way will not enable you (you will be destroyed because you did not recognize the time of God's visitation to you). Insensitivity prevents people from really hearing and understanding God's message. A hard heart can keep you from understanding things that otherwise are readily apparent. Your insensitivity will cause God to disconnect from you and then you will be overcome by your harmful desires.

God disconnects from people who refuse the authority of Jesus after God makes Jesus real to them; this Jesus who came from Him.

If you don't want the Lord you will be separated from Him and judged unfavorably for not listening to the Teacher.

If you refuse the Teacher you will not overcome the harm from within.

Divorcing your spouse and then marrying someone else is adultery (unless the one you divorced was maritally unfaithful, see MT 19:9); don't be insensitive to what Jesus says. Don't cause others to sin; there is a heavy price to pay. Forgive your brother when he repents. Humble serving is our duty.
