Accountability.

"BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and BEFORE thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Jer 1:5)

~ Before You Could Think.

Before you could start using your mind, God had ordained you for a purpose. YOU DID NOT DECIDE THIS BUT GOD ALONE DID. Therefore, DO all you can to make your calling and election sure (2Pet 1:10). You are not accountable to anyone but GOD.




Before you became you, God had you in His mind to become someone He has ordained you for. Before your mind became fully functional, you have been ordained for a purpose. Find out everything about God's purpose for you, and begin to WORK IT OUT TILL YOU FIND REST FOR YOUR SOUL.
"For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world." (Heb 4:3). If you don't first find This purpose, you can't have His rest. He had you in His mind before He worked out anything about you, you also have to find out His purpose for your life BEFORE "working" into His rest. 

~ Your Whole Heart, Mind and Body.
If these three are not in agreement about the purpose for your life, you can NEVER find rest within you. "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mat 16:26). If you can't find rest inside of you, nothing outside can satisfy you. Seek God with the whole of you and you will find rest, or your ordained purpose, or "place of rest", or "the Garden".

~ When We Start To Love.
Love is perfect, and it brings perfection. "But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." (1Co 13:10). To find God's perfect rest, you must LOVE. The inside rest we seek for, can only be gotten from first loving God, and then our neighbour as ourselves. 

~ How To Love. 
This is simply saying "How To Be Perfected" God's own way. To love God and be perfected, it must be in unity of body, soul, and spirit. "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment." (Mat 22:37-38). 

To be accountable, you must be perfected through LOVE, loving God with everything, and others as yourself. It is either we learn to love God first which makes it very easy to love others, or love others to show we love God, IT ALL MUST START FROM THE INSIDE.
