Psalm 9:4 English Standard Version (ESV) For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

Causation is the relationship between cause and effect; causality.

In order for our cause to be just we need to accept the Lordship of Jesus, who sits on the throne. He gives us righteous judgments that ensure our obedience of faith will produce the results that cause the will of God the Father to be done.

A just cause is a right decision and right decisions can only be made in the light of the truth.

Psalm 9:9-10 English Standard Version

⁹ The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
¹⁰ And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Our weaker nature will always cry out but the Lord has seen to it that a measure of protection accompanies obedience of faith. A measure of protection exist as long as the will of the Lord is being done. A measure of protection is not total protection from every bad decision made by others in furtherance of their agendas.

John 15:18-20 English Standard Version

¹⁸ “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

Do not care about what the world thinks about us. Seek a just cause.

2 Corinthians 3:3 English Standard Version (ESV) And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.^{[hearts of flesh]}

Given that His Word is true and this message is true and that we are a letter from Christ, to whom is our letter addressed?

In the generic sense we are addressed to the lost. As with any letter to be delivered it is the addressee that opens the letter and reads it. We do not address the letter. Jesus Christ has addressed the letter. It is up to us to show the letter to everyone.

Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit is at work preparing that lost soul’s heart to receive that letter and open it. We are not so much the letter as much as we are the envelope. The Spirit moves us in order to deliver the message of Christ in us. When they open our letter, they will discover that Christ can and does abide in the hearts of human flesh. The hope of glory is in seeing Christ in us, that they too can receive Christ into their own hearts.

The pious and self-righteous will not show Christ because they want to be seen. “Look at me, see me, do what I have done.” That is the message of vanity which is emptiness as to results. Humility allows Christ to reveal Himself through this veil of flesh; our envelop.

Hebrews 10:20 King James Version (KJV) By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Mark 10:8 English Standard Version (ESV) and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh.

We are betrothed to Christ, our flesh is His flesh.
