SELF-MASTERY THROUGH SALVATION TEACHES BY JESUS
(143:2.6)
“Salvation is by the regeneration of the spirit and not by the self-righteous deeds of the flesh.
You are justified by faith and fellowshipped by grace, not by fear and the self-denial of the flesh, albeit the Father’s children who have been born of the spirit are ever and always masters of the self and all that pertains to the desires of the flesh.
When you know that you are saved by faith, you have real peace with God.
And all who follow in the way of this heavenly peace are destined to be sanctified to the eternal service of the ever-advancing sons of the eternal God.
Henceforth, it is not a duty but rather your exalted privilege to cleanse yourselves from all evils of mind and body while you seek for perfection in the love of God."
(143:2.7)
“Your sonship is grounded in faith, and you are to remain unmoved by fear.
Your joy is born of trust in the divine word, and you shall not therefore be led to doubt the reality of the Father’s love and mercy.
It is the very goodness of God that leads men into true and genuine repentance.
Your secret of the mastery of self is bound up with your faith in the indwelling spirit, which ever works by love.
Even this saving faith you have not of yourselves; it also is the gift of God.
And if you are the children of this living faith,
you are no longer the bond slaves of self but rather the triumphant masters of yourselves, the liberated sons of God."
