He That Hath An Ear, Let Him Hear.
As Christians, standing upon the promise that God has already provided the means for salvation, it is imperative to stand firm in our ways going in and going out. The Bible says, "God is not mocked, whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. If we sow to the flesh, we shall of the flesh - reap corruption. If we sow to the Spirit, we shall of the spirit - reap eternal life." So how do we know we are sowing to the flesh? (1 John 2:15-16) provides a clue. It says, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." Even though the Christian is in the world, he or she is not of the world, but is sowing to the Spirit. You can sow to the Spirit by being filled with the Spirit, speaking to yourself in songs and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.
Let's look at how the deception of Satan caused sin to occur on the earth. In (Genesis 3:1-6), we find Adam and Eve in the Garden and the serpent saying to Eve, "Has God said that you shall not eat of every tree in the garden?" Then Eve replied," We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said to the woman, ye shall not surely die: for the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food (the lust of the flesh), and that it was pleasant to the eyes (the lust of the eyes), and a tree to be desire to make one wise (the pride of life), she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her and he did eat." Thus the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life actually originated with Satan in deceiving Eve.
The above passages paint a picture of how one Scripture (1 John 2:15-16), authenticates the other Scripture (Genesis 3:1-6). This provides another reason not to sow to the flesh because the Bible declares, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." Thus, the best way to manage your flesh is to sow to your spirit-man and keep your eyes upon Jesus whereby resides the hope of your redemption. In so doing, we have this hope that one day, when we reach our destination, we may see Jesus who shall say to us, "Well done My good and faithful servant."

God Never Called His Trinity A Mystery
The concept of the Trinity has baffled mankind for centuries. One reason it confused people was because its concept differed from the norm. While it seems we can easily envision God creating a man from dust, the same is not true when we attempt to envision Him making a Man from some other element. The truest test for proving Godly things is by comparing them with biblical truths. The Bible never recorded God stating He would never make a man from a different substance than from the dust of the ground. Therefore, since Jesus stated He came down from heaven, He could not have been made from the dust of the ground as is mortal man. His originality had to come from a heavenly substance.
A Bible verse that seems insignificant in its context at first until you reread it is Deuteronomy 29:29: "The secret things belongs unto the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever." The question to ask here is, "Why do secret things exist, which belong solely to God?" The reason is, because they are not found in the Bible. If something is not written in the Bible, only God knows. This reality comes to light when we reason why Jesus (even though He is God) does not know the day or hour of His coming back to earth. The Bible does not record the day or hour of this event. Now that God has revealed to us the substance He used as the seed of the Holy Ghost that was implanted directly into the womb of the Virgin Mary, this verse makes much more sense.
(See: "The Mystery of the Trinity Revealed" )
That principle also applies to the second half of Deuteronomy 29:29, which states that the revealed things belong to us and our children forever. Many Scriptures declare our inability to know the things of God unless He reveals them to us, and He reveals to us through His Spirit dwelling in the heart of the believer. God never said His Trinity was a mystery--man did. The Trinity is found everywhere in the Bible, even in the Old Testament. However, God chose not to reveal His Trinity to us until these last days. Since the Trinity is recorded throughout the Bible, it had to be revealed as His Word declares.
Why is there so much backlash against the Trinity? The simple answer is Satan. Satan initiated the need for the Trinity in the Garden of Eden. The Bible also declares Satan entered into the heart of Judas when he betrayed Jesus. The Book of Revelation depicts Satan doing his evil work of deceiving people in the end times.
