THE SUBJECTIVE LIFE--Part 3

Since God never starts something, He doesn't finish, Jesus Christ is made known, to The One, Who has been made to feel The Weariness of His Sins.
He comes in the power of The Regenerating Spirit to Christ, as A Repentant Person--
Matthew 11;25-27-[Turn].
As The Father is a mystery, made known to Jesus Christ, Christ is made known to faith, which is the fruit of One's having been born of God.

Now, that which is outside the understanding of human reason is not outside the comprehension of God-given faith, to The Elect.

Trinitarian knowledge is made known to The Elect.
We saw in Matthew 11;27-The Father knows The Son, and The Son knows The Father.
God knows the mind of The Spirit, and The Spirit knows The Depths of God.

The Elect know God experimentally, because Christ desires, to make Himself known,
According to The Bible, this knowledge is not presumptuous-
I John 2;3-4--[Turn].
Verse 3 is positive, but verse 4 is contrapositive.
Although Verse 3 speaks of Experiential Knowledge, John calls One, a liar, who is always saying, and not doing, and told him,The Truth didn't exist in him.

Verses1-2--One must not presume, that he is safe, prior to God's Grace making him long, to br
Sinless.
One must resolve not to sin, but he must be able to recognize sin , when he commits it. .

Now, Listen to this Truth; JESUS CHRIST NEVER COMMANDS AN UN-REGENERATED PERSON, AS HE DOES, A REGENERATED PERSON, TO TAKE HIS YOKE AND LEARN FROM HIM--
Matthew 11;29-''Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls''.
Wearing Christ's Yoke is A Symbol of Submission.

I Timothy 6;1--''Let as many as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.''
If Christian slaves are to regard their masters worthy, for the sake of God's honor, What about
Christ's yoke, which is said by Him, to be easy, or pleasant [Matthew 11;30] /

Now, not only is Christ's Yoke pleasant, but His burden, is easy to bear.
And these are insignificant compared to our future glory, when we see Christ and His glory.

Christians find rest while bearing the yoke of a slave, and loaded with burdens.
Believers can bear burdens while they are slaves, because of The Rest, The Saviour gives to every repenting and believing Person.
