"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
In the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant(18:21-30) we have the servant who apparently let a beam in his eye and it prevented him see the unsurpassable riches of mercy held out to his account in heaven. This ran to 'ten thousand talents' an enormous amount in terms of his salvation. By forgiving his past God showed mercy on one who was 'dead in trespasses and sins' and taken into service.In his refusal to keep his eye of faith ever fixed on his master he was persecuting a fellow servant who owed an hundred pence. He reduced the worth of his salvation to a paltry sum. He would not abide in his Son so saying 'once saved is saved enough' teaches us our own problem. The Power that raised his Son must be active so " but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."(Ro.12:2)
The same hypocrisy in our personal conduct as ambassadors is what convulsing the activism of the Evangelicals.
Nowhere in the Bible the Spirit tells of God's mercy as being expressed once. "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not./They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."(La.2:22-25) God breathed into us and made us living soul which also serves as a sign. In Trinity body of the Son serves as the soul of Zion, collective name of every soul redeemed by the perfect sacrifice. (Ps.50:5) "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." With abiding life we are learning to prove the perfect with into which without the grace of Jesus Christ is nul. ( John 15:5)
"Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined." This perfection is what we have in terms of light.
Now reexamine this verse, "if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."(v.23)
