Sin ... And Forgiveness!

Think Deeply About This ...

He Who Had No Sin Became Sin ... For Us!

He Who Is Alive Forever
Died To Give Life To Us
Who Are Dead In Sin And Trespasses!

The Question Is:
How Do We Make The Connection 
To Make The Transaction Real!?! 

Jesus Christ Make The Infinite Deposit
In The Bank Of Eternity: 
We Are Mortal Men, Sinners, Who Live In Time! 
How Are We Going To Make The Needful Withdrawal
So That We May Have Our Necessary Food
And
Directions
Travelling Mercies
Transportation Expenses
Shelter
Protection! 

How Do We Get From Present Living For Hell
To Living To Arrive At The Future Heavenly Home
When There Is Gulf Fixed Betwixt The Two!?!

Lest We Tremble And Fear In Despair 
Let's Remember Jacob's Ladder
The Bridge Between Earth And Glory
The Cross-Bar On The Cross Of Christ
The Benediction Aka It Is Finished
Which Capped The Upper Room Prayer Of Consecration:


John 17:24 (KJV) Yeshua praying to the Father. | Uplifting quotes ...



Where I Am
There Shall Also My Servants Be! 

Brethren,

We Have A Job Of Work To Do
So Let's Get To Stepping
Because
There Is No Sinner Going To Be Where Jesus Christ Is!
We've Got A House-Cleaning To Accomplish!


Pin on Statements & Verses


All Lawlessness Is Sin! 
All Humans Are Sinners! 
Some Sins Are Natural 
Because 
We Are Born With The Inclination To Sin! 
Some Sins Are Cultivated! 
Some Sins Are Marked As 
Going Where You Shouldn't Go Aka Transgressions
And 
Other Sins Are Called iniquity Aka Planned Sins! 

All Sins Are Forgiven 
... If We Confess ... 
Except For The Sin Of Blasphemy 
Against The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Second Death! 

Forgiveness Is Free!

The Only Person 
Who Doesn't Need Forgiveness For Known Sin 
Is 
Almighty God! 

The Sins That We Do Not Confess Cannot Be Forgiven 
And 
Stay On The Books Of Remembrance In Heaven! 
The Sins That We Humbly Confess 
And 
Repent Aka Turn Away From
Are Cast Into The Sea Of God's Forgetfulness
Never To Be Recalled!

Make The Days Of Your Life Count!
 
Beloved,

We Cannot Climb The Ladder
Cross The Bridge
Escape Time
Or Enter Eternity With The Stench Of 
The Load Of Sin Attached To Our Persons! 

No Escaping The Facts ... 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed Daily
So Let's Make It A Habit 
To Confess Are Repent Of Our Sins Daily 
Because 
Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Any Of Us
Our Name Is Not Jesus Christ
And 
Our Tongues Are Not Bibles 
Aka The Preserved Word Of The Eternal God! 

Let's Believe The Living Word
Accept And Gratefully Use Our Gift Of Forgiveness
And 
Be At Peace With And In Our Savior 
And 
Coming King
Jesus Christ The Lord!
Soon, Very Soon, The Last Trumpet Will Sound!

Dead Men
Can't Praise Almighty God
And
Can't Ask
For Forgiveness!

EXPERIENCES: Dis(O)bedience





It Takes A Miracle
A Blessing God
To Nullify A Curse!
It Took Jesus Christ
On The Cross
Dying
The Curse Upon Man Spoken
In Eden's Garden
To Reverse!

Bless God!

It Takes Presumption
On The Part Of Man
To Accuse God
Saying:

That Curse Was Causeless!


When
In All Actuality
None In The Garden
Could Be Considered
Faultless!

The Prohibition Was Clear:

Do Not Eat That Fruit!

Obviously ...

You Can't Eat
Unless You Bite!
You Can't Bite
Unless You Pick!
You Can't Pick
Unless You Reach!
AND
You Can't Reach For The Fruit
Until
You Are At
Or In
The Tree!
AND
You Can't Get To The Fruit Tree
Unless
You Walk
AND
You Won't Walk To The Fruit Tree
Unless Your Thoughts Say:

I Feel For Fruit
Today
This Hour
This Very Moment!
AND
I DON'T CARE
If That Fruit Is Sour
Or Will Edge My Teeth
AND
Tie Up My Tongue
Stain My Hands
AND
My Face
AND
On My Clothing Leave A Trace
AND
In My Mouth Leaves A Scent
AND
In My Belly Leaves A Bitter Burn
AND
At My Sit-Down
Causes Me To Squirm
AND
In The Wash
Waste's Mighty Stench!

In My Mind
- Upon Replay -
Urge Does Recoil
AND
Remonstration 
Strenuously Says:

Disobedience
Does Not Pay
For Willfulness
Knows Not The Story Whole
AND
Selfishness Knows Only
Self's Current Goal!
Why So Bold?!


If Selfish Self
Had Hindsight's Foresight
AND
If Taste Had Waste's Pipeline
AND
Satisfaction Wore Sorrow-For-Sin's Nightgown
Obedience Would Not Wear Presumption's Shoes
Nor Greed's Glasses
Nor Borrow Today's Trouble
To Get Outcome's Tomorrow-Lashes
AND
Painful Gashes!

If You Count The Steps
To Sin
Malice 
Is Here Involved!
Wickedness Is Walking Wild
AND
Wily Satan Does Rejoice!

Be Wise Like That Serpent!
Be Harmless As The Holy Spirit's Dove!
Accept The Lord's Prohibitions
For
He Made You With Love!

Let No:
"Hath God Said ...?"

End With:
"Thou Shalt Not Surely...!"

For
In The End Of Your Big Doings
God's Surely
Will
Of A Surety
Be Done Securely!

There Is No Curse Causeless
AND
There Is No Excuse
For A Man To Be Lawless
For
Holy God's Law
Is 
Eternally Flawless!

Obedience Only Requires A "Yes!"
BUT
Disobedience 
Always Requires 
Much Thoughtful Machination To Process
For
Escape
AND
An Excuse
Become Necessary
AND
Unsurprisingly Start
With The Same "E" 
As The Evil
Which Makes You Vile
To The Lord God Almighty!
Check It Out And You Will See!

Disobedience Leads To Bad Experience
AND
Bad Experience Is A Pay-In Program
Which
- Well Used -
Turns Good-Life Into Refuse
Which Refuse
Into Outer Darkness Goes
Where Crying 
AND
Gnashing Of Teeth
Are Evinced From Those
In Humiliation's Death Throes!

In Christ
There Is No 
"Yes!" And "No!"
In Christ There Only
 "Yes!" And "Go!"
For
Christ IS Neither Fickle
Fadish
Nor A Fiend
BUT
Is The God Of Salvation
Who Desires 
All To Be Clean!

Do Right!
Live Right!
Walk With Him Who Is Sight
AND
Escape Damnation's Long Throng
Who Will Have
A Permanent Night
AND
No Lullabye For A Soothing Song!

Satan Is The Liar
So
Let Him Not Your Commonsense Squeeze
For His Only Gift To You
Is To Ensure That You End Up With
Punishingly Devilish Fleas!

But ...

Know This!
If You
- Having Made The Mistake -
Don't Harden Your Heart
BUT
Cast Your Self
On God's Mercy
AND
Doing Same
Without Fear
Confessing
Repenting
AND
Crying Out 
Because Of Your Shame
AND
Pleading With The Father
For Restoration
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
He Will
Of A Surety
Bring You Into 
The Rest Home Again!

Don't Be As Some!
Cain
AND
Esau 
Are Of Note Two
Who
Would Not Be Humbled
AND
Were Reprobates
Through And Through!

One Cried 
That His Punishment Was Too Great!
AND
One Cried 
Because By His Own Actions
His Blessing Was Too Small!
BUT
Neither Repented Of Their Behavior
AND
God's Condemnation
Of Both Of Them
Severely
Did Fall!

Contrast Those Two
With
Adam AND King David
AND
Soberly
Also Think Of King Saul!

Adam AND King David
Knew Bitter Repentance
AND
In The Lord's Strength
Went On To Teach The Truth To All!
But ...
Saul ... Unrepentant In Sin
Grieved
The Holy Spirit Of Peace
Away
AND
In Agony Of Spirit
Trusted A Condemned Necromancer
To Get Guidance From The Dead
On How The Living Should Be Led!

The Dead Dead
- By Satan -
Answered
The Living-Walking-Dead
For Saul Was An Empty Man
Condemned
By The Holy God
For Playing Footsie
With The Fraud!

Long Story Short Short ...

Don't Let A Little Covetousness
Turn You Into A Man
Conscienceless
For God
Will Not Hold You 
Guiltless
AND
Your Too-Late Tears
Will Be To You
Profitless!


Think Before You Reach!
With Jesus As Your Leader
Doing The Right Thing
Is Not Hard!

CONFESSING SIN: Not Feeling The Need?! + PRAYER: Father, Teach Me Thy Ways!








The Question Had Been Politely Asked:

Have You Ever Asked God For Forgiveness?

The Response Was Mind-Blowingly Stunning:

"I Have Never Felt The Need!"

The Obvious Comeback Was:

Don't You Do Anything Wrong?

To Which Came The Reply:

I Do, BUT I Just Try To Do Better 
... To Make Things Right!

Here Spelt Out
Is The Very Thing
That Will Cause Many Men
Including Numerous Christians
To Be Premium Ticket Holders
Elite Passengers
On The Damnation Express!

Man Must See His Need
For Him To Go To The Savior!
Self-Sufficiency
Will Not Lead Him There!
Standing Up For Self
Deciding That Self
Is One's God
Is All It Takes
For One To Embrace
The Chastising Rod Of
The Eternal God!

Never Felt ...!
Never Felt ... "The Need!"
Says Plainly
In Whose Kitchen
At Whose Table They Feed
For
If They Saw God
Recognizing That He Is
Sovereign
Holy
They Would Then Know
Unrepentant Sinners
He Will Not In The Day Own!

What Is Sin?
Breaking The Law!

Who Wrote The Law?
Almighty God!

So ...

If You Break God's Law
Should You Not Ask God For Forgiveness?

That Would Make Sense
Unless
You Are God To Your Self!

Sounds Like Satan Talking!

Exactly!

The People Of God
Are Today
Boldly Facing Total Ruin
Because
The Under-Shepherds
- Obviously In The Pay Of The God-Fraud -
Are Racking And Stacking
Wooden Faggots For The Fire
By Saying To Sinful Men:

Forget Repentance!
Do Good!
Do Good For The Common Good
AND
God's Ire
Will Against You Expire!

Men And God
Do Not Pitch Marbles Together
So Being God's Equal
In Forgiving Self For Sin
Or Repatriating Unto Self Your Sin
Is Just A Satanic Fraud!

So What Do We Do?!

We Need To Recognize That
High-Mindedness
Is The Spring-Board
Over Fire And Brimstone Lake
For
Unrepented Of Sin
Is Left On One's Record
As Unforgiven Sin!

God Is Holy!
God's Word Is Holy!
God's Person Is Inviolable
AND
Condemnation To Hell
Is Really, Truly, Avoidable!

Please Do Not Let
Oversight
Presumption
AND
Assumption
Make Temporary Separation From God
Through Willfulness
A Thing Final In Toto!

Recognize Your Need For God's Forgiveness!
Bend!
Don't Burn!


PRAYER:

Father,
It Is Against Thee
And Thee Alone
That I Have Committed This Sin!
Forgive Me, Lord
And Make Me Clean
For I Repent
And Confess, Today
That I Have Sinned
Against My Own Soul
And
In The Sight Of The Holy God!

Father,
Many Are The Days
That I Walked In My Own Way
Thinking That I Am The Great Physician
Healing My Own Self
And
Forgetting
That I Was Heading With Damnation
For A Head-On Collision!

I Do Love You, Lord
And
I Acknowledge That
For Just A Moment
I Lost My Way!
I Recognize My Actions As Sin
And
I Claim The Promise
That If I Confess My Sin
That You Are Faithful
And
Just
And
Will Forgive My Sin!

Father,
My Heart Is Heavy
With Sorrow
For My Sin!
Please Lift This Great Burden
So That Your Holy Light
Into My Soul
May Get In!

In Jesus' Name, Lord
I Come!
Please Make Me Whole Again
So That I May Have A Secure Place
In Your Sheltered Fold!

I Desire, Lord
To Reclaim My Place
In Your Favor
And
With Contriteness Of Heart
Beseech You
To Take Away My Will To Sin
 From Marring My Soul With Its Disgrace!

I Am Truly Sorry!
Forgive And Bless, Father!
I Am A Child!
Teach Me Your Way, Lord
And
Help Me To Walk In It!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH: Reality Bites! + Prayer: Father, Forgive Me!













Today I feel like an Idiot!
Yesterday I acted The Fool!
I gave in to Inclination
And became one of Old Satan's Tools!

How often have I said I Trust in The Lord Jesus?
How often have I asked The Father to Grant Me Grace?
How often have I prayed The Prayer of Faith
Only to have it fall back as Spit in my clearly exposed Face?

I Should Know Better for
Faith Without Works is Dead!
I Should Do Better for
Work Without Confidence is Rotten Thread, and
A Christian Without Character is Said To Be as 
The Barren Fig Tree Jesus Christ Cursed Dead!

So ...


Father, Forgive me
For not Trusting You Enough!
Father, Forgive Me
For using My Faith like Snuff!
Trusting You, Lord
On Demand
Leaves Me No Legs on which to Stand, so
Please Forgive, Father
This Weak and Frail Human, and
Lift Me Up as I Pray 
For I Come To You
As Only a Sinner Saved by Grace can!
Lord, I Need You!
Have Mercy and Bless!
AMEN.


Pencils Have:
 Erasers To Clear The Way 
To Right Wrongs

and

Christians Have:
 Confession
Repentance, and
Pray!
