OTHER TEACHINGS from the NEW TESTAMENT
By Ernest Holmes
Bless and Curse Not (Romans 12:14)
""Bless and curse not." Here is the whole law and prophets. We are to overcome evil with good. Evil lasts but for a day, while goodness shines to eternity and loving kindsness is the very nature of Deity. As the darkness has no power over light, so evil is overcome with good.
"Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." This is a statement of the law of cause and effect. God does not avenge, but the law of cause and effect exacts the uttermost farthing. We need not worry how things are coming out; the law takes care of everything and returns to each exactly what is his due.
The Great Awakening (Romans 13:11)
"Now it is high time to awake out of sleep." The belief in a life apart from Good is a dream from which we must awake, if we are to taste the waters of Reality, which flow from the Source of Life.
As one awakes from a nightmare, so the mentality awakes from the dream of living death to a realization of eternal life. We cast off the works of darkenss when we realize that evil is not an entity but a fraud. The armor of light is the Truth, the very knowing of which makes free.
This awakening is a process of evolution, a little here and a little there, until the whole eye is opened and we see that life is neither separate from God nor different from Good. Life is God, and Good is the only power there is, or can be.
To awaken oneself is to be healed, made prosperous, happy and satisfied; to be made every whit whole, to be complete as we were intended to be. God is a God of the living and not of the dead. He sees and knows only perfection and completion; happiness and satisfaction. When we shall think of ourselves as God knows us, then complete salvation will come to us."
