LOVE

Instant salvation by direct mercy is impossible.

The function of faith is to understand - not only what is true, but also what is good.

Faith = truth and goodness.

Do not depend the world and worldly things for knowledge and wisdom: you will be mislead and deceived.  The Word is what unites Heaven and Earth.

Israel = those who seek the Lord.
             the ability to understand
             a spiritual being
             a spiritual church
             the "inner" church - God within
             Children of Israel = regenerate people

For since the beginning of the world
Men have not heard, nor perceived by ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
Isaiah 64:4

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
the things which God has prepared
for those who love Him."
Cor 2:9

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God;
the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people
for Himself, a special treasure above 
all the peoples on the face of the earth.
Deut 7:6

  God is within!  No religion encompasses the Word...none.
