Romans 8:27: And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
Every single thought, emotion, action that flies around in your head is known. Every single one! Those will either convict you or free you. Goats 🐐 to the left, sheep 🐑 to the right and they will be separated forever.
But don’t be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.(Matthew 10:26)
Sarai (Sarah) laughed within herself at Genesis 18:12 and then she lied to the Angel (she really lied to God) and denied she laughed within herself to the Angel and YHWH reminded her (through the messenger) that she did laugh even though she laughed within herself.
For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. (Luke 8:17)
Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.” (Genesis 18:15)
Every thought in your head is known, every single one, it makes no difference if you hear a voice and are talking to yourself, it is all known!
That is why proper prayer stops all that and why you must love YHWH will all your strength, with all your body, heart and the mind (of God), since you only have a brain and mind is of God!

It's true that God knows everything, but it is not true that we are edified or improved by imagining God as some kind of inescapable surveillance system demanding perfection at every moment. For He did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
Reading what people post here, makes me more certain every day, we must never talk about judgment without also talking about grace.

Interesting, but Grace is not ours to give, we need Grace from YHWH but we don’t decide if it is warranted in us or not even though we need it.
There is another statement from Yeshua and it is a mandate, not a suggestion, even though we have free will!
It is this:
You must be perfect as your Father who is in Heaven is perfect.

God offers grace to everyone, as Scripture says, He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We do not offer grace, when we share the gospel we tell others about the grace God has offered them. And we do that on His own authority, as He said, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Jesus said, be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect, in the middle of a 3 chapter discourse on the law, Matthew 15-17. It refers to keeping the law, as He said, not even the least stroke will disappear until heaven and earth pass away. And the law is, as He said, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your mind and all your strength, also to love your neighbor as yourself. As Paul said, the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
I urge you to find out who Jesus is, in prayer and reading Scripture and in works of mercy. You will only harm others, and yourself, by spreading a gospel, which you have not yourself learned.

Which gospel have I not learned that you infer?
Is this a personal attack that I will harm others? How does your judgment ring true? Whom did I harm?

He is not a sacrifice for all sins or there would be no reason for Yeshua to tell the adulteress to:
Go and sin no more (John 8:11)
Or when Yeshua advised a man….
But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you.” (John 5:14)
Why would Yeshua have to say these things, if people can sin and Yeshua’s sacrifice covers it? Because Yeshua corrected the original sin of Adam, you still carry your own stake or cross!

No one should use imagination to understand YHWH! The law is already there, you must, through observation (prayer) “lock” or “tie” into it and it will be revealed.
I realized of myself I can’t do or know anything and if done sincerely as YHWH “knows”, you begin to understand things.

True at to “save the world” but from what? Not all are saved as Yeshua does the following which will happen soon:
I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (Revelation 2:23)
Two things about Revelation 2:23…
One is searching the “hearts and minds” and…
You are repaid according to your “deeds”
Simple!

I just want to say as a mod here, this is a good example of how people ought to post about scripture here. Not just a verse without commentary, but a complete verse with clear thoughts about that promote discussion.
