True Elements of Exaltation in God

[jennifer_bloom]

I believe there are seven factors of promotion in God. They are:

1 - Modesty

2 - Humility

3 - Deprivation

4 - Consideration

5 - Respect

6 - Work

7 - Tolerance

If you practice these seven traits, life will promote you to higher levels

If these traits are absent, life will demote your to lower levels

Where are these seven traits referenced?

[jennifer_bloom]

My common sense suggested these are the most dominant ones

[Xtendable]

Okay, I thought there was going to be biblical references.
I noticed you said in your question that they are the seven factors of promotion in God and further that life will promote you.
Do these tie in with Jesus’ commandments to love your neighbour as yourself, and love the Lord your God?

[jennifer_bloom]

Jesus mentioned being humble exalts you and he mentions modesty is needed to get rewards and he says fasting or food deprivation is rewarded when done in private and he says you must care for people who have no status to be included in His forgiveness which is where the consideration comes in and he punished those who disrespected God by exploiting God for money and he gave parables that say you must labour for spiritual fruit and grow your skills and he said you must forgive people which is where tolerance comes in.

Well done!
I disagree a bit on the fasting being done in private. I think prayer support is good when you’re fasting, as Jesus said don’t grumble and moan when fasting. Fasting for revelation is a good thing and should be celebrated.

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m not saying collective fasting is bad but I believe Jesus meant to deprive yourself for God and not for social benefits, and the Catholics say food is not the only way you can fast, somebody could give up television or movies or sports for 40 days or avoid eating meat or sweets for 60 days etc…

[Xtendable]

True, like Lent. Good point.

A good list of traits, and being mindful of the great commission also, as well as Jesus telling us to take up our cross and walk
