(New International Version)
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the ‘sin’ [avon: perversity, iniquity, etc..], that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,”
Remember, the ‘world’ (chedel: state of the dead, etc..], the heavenly ‘Elohiym, and the faithful, are watching; and though some would question, “what does it matter that the lost are watching?”; lest we forget, so too is the heavenly ‘Elohiym.
Paul here clearly reminding us that our faith is always an outward expression that carries responsibility to all. If we are not functioning in ‘YHVH’ [the Name, Word and Works, of Abraham’s ‘Elohiym] then we are not of YH’shua: And so the outcome.
Remember, we who seek truth must always look to live it, following only one teaching, the truth and life of an original Messiah; fruit others will see or not.
Paraphrasing YH’shua, “ ‘Your’ (YHWH ‘Elohiym’s) ‘Will’ (Word and Works) be done ‘on earth’ (IN US) as it is in heaven.”
‘Amein’ (Amen: Truth, So be it, etc..)

YHWH or YHVH (I AM THAT I AM):
“According to the Hebrew Bible, in the encounter of the burning bush (Exodus 3:14) Moses asks what he is to say to the Israelites when they ask what ‘gods’ (‘Elohiym) have sent him to them, and YHWH replies, “I am who I am”, adding, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’”
“I AM THAT I AM”, “I AM WHO I AM”, ETC..
The Name that quite literally refers to what the “I AM THAT I AM” – is. The expression or mind of the ‘Elohiym of our creation; when applied? “the Way, the Truth, the Life”….
“Used as an emphatic statement,” that of the steward’s wisdom in action, and again, ‘spirit’ (ha-ruwach: ‘Elohiym’s expression or mind, etc..) as seen in the heavenly messengers, ambassadors, appointed men, women, and prophets – leading to ‘YH’shua’ (YH Saves); ultimately as seen in the faithful in YHWH.
May, “YHWH bless you and keep you!” Numbers 6: 24-26.
“I WILL BE THAT I WILL BE”
