The most valuable treasure in existence, is that which comes from God. Most people do not have this treasure, because they do not know what it is or how to get it. Nor, do they take the time to figure this out.
Faith, is the ultimate objective of the spiritual life. Faith is the muscle of the spiritual life.
Faith comes from wisdom.
Wisdom comes from the application of understanding.
Understanding comes from knowledge.
Knowledge comes from learning.
Learning comes from the day to day study of the word of God.
The learning process is where most people fail.
When Bible doctrine is learned, and understood, and applied to ones daily life, then the spiritual life is developed.
Blessings from God flow to the individual who is developing, or advancing in their spiritual life.
The word for abundance, refers to that which is far beyond what you would ever need. And that is a lot.
Zion, is a word throughout the Bible that refers to the vast truth of God. Truth is Bible doctrine. And when you learn Bible doctrine, and inculcate it into your soul, that results in the stability of life, and the relaxed mental attitude, that is otherwise not available by any other means in this world.
Learn the spiritual process, which is available only to believers in Christ. Unbelievers do not have a spiritual life.
The spiritual process is, repeated confession of sins to God the Father, in order to reside within the fellowship sphere.
And, while in fellowship:
Pursue a daily Bible study, through instruction, in order to learn Bible doctrine.
Apply Bible doctrine to your daily life, and by that, gain understanding.
Repeat this process, in order to advance to advanced understanding which is wisdom.
And finally developing faith, which is based on the substance of Bible doctrine that resides within your soul.
Faith, is the muscle and power of the spiritually mature life.
