THE BLESSED HOPE: The Way To Everlasting Life!

The Man ... The Sin
The Mirror ... The Law
The Blood ... The Savior
The Help ... The Salvation
The Hope
Is
Life With The Lord Jesus Christ
And
The Savior's Glory Forevermore To Share! 

Those Who Expect Things
Have The Expectation That Shall Surely Perish
For Things Are Temporal
For Only A Time
And
Shall Not Reach The Land That Is Eternal
Where Life Is Sublime! 

Those Who Do Not Trust In The Living, Holy, God
Have No Everlasting Portion
For Here And Now 
Is 
All That They, Blinded, See
And
Here Is Where Their True Expectations 
Are Revealed To Be Defiled, Dust, Dirt ... Damned! 
They Shall See Their Vaunted Treasures
Become Useless, Rusty And Cankered! 
Gladly Accusing Their Owners
These Things Shall Surely Be! 





The Way To Life ... 

We Who Have Hope In The True And Living God
Have Hope That Shall Be Realized 
In All Its Particulars! 

Our God Is Eternal, Faithful
Capable And Able
And 
Our Every Response To His Words Of Promise 
Which Cause Us To Trust
To Have Faith
And 
To Hope Shall Be
"Yes, Lord! 
And 
"Amen!" Aka
"So Let It Be, My Father! 
You Have Given Me A Sure Word And I Believe It
And I Shall Wait Upon You!
Grant Me The Grace To Wait With Patient Hope 
For You Are Almighty God Who Cannot Lie!" 

Beloved, 

Our God Is
And 
Because He Is, We Are! 
We Are His ... The Sheep Of His Pasture
And 
Our Faith, Our Hopes, Shall Be Satisfied
If 
We Are Steadfast, Enduring, Faithful! 

Nobody Can Make
The Decision For You
And Nobody Can Stop You
From Making Your Own Decision!
I Beseech Us All, Brethren
Please Hold On To Jesus Christ The Lord 
Who Is Real, Righteous
And 
Soon Returning! 
Heaven's Glories Await Those Of Us
Who Obediently Choose To Keep The Faith
Make The Enduring Commitment
And
Send Prayerful Confirmation Of 
The Longed-For Date
By Thought, Word And Deed! 


The Lord Christ
Is Either
Your King Or Your Judge
And You, Alone
Make That Judgment Call!

THE EXAM: The Examination Of Life!?!

The Book Of Love, Law And Light For Life
Implores Fallen Mankind To Bow, Believe
And 
Bend The Will Before The Lord Who Saves, Seals 
And 
Satisfies The Soul For Time And Eternity!

Facts ...

In Every Baby Born To Mankind
There Is The Possibility Of:

A Child Of God
A Student Of The School Of Jesus
A Residence For The Holy Spirit
A Worker For The Kingdom Of Light
A Doer Of Good Deeds
A Helper Of Man
A Blessing To The Brethren
A Faithful Friend
An Accepter Of God's Grace
And, Also 
The Dread Possibility:

A Rejecter Of Almighty God's Mercy
And
The Pearl Of Great Price
Christ's Purchased-For-Us Salvation
That That Is For The Accepter
The Priceless Gift Of Eternal Life!

Life Is The Open Book Exam 
That ... By Personal Will 
Man May Choose To Fail!

You'd Better Stop!
Nobody "Chooses" To Fail At Living!

You Err, Mon Frere!
I Never Said Fail At Living!
I Said Fail The Exam Of Life!

I Don't Understand!
I Thought They Were One And The Same Thing!

Regrettably ... And Yet, Thankfully
They Are Two Distinct Things!
You Are Born
Therefore, You Are Living!

Ding, Ding, Ding!

You Are Passing Through Life
Until You Fail At Living
Which Means You Are Dead
Rotten And Forgotten
No More Loves Or Hates
Expectations Or Disappointments
No More A Place Under The Light Of The Sun
No More To Receive The Blessing Of 
The Guidance, Correction, And Protection Of 
The Father's Beloved Son!

Okay, Okay! I'm Feeling You BUT ...

... The Exam Of Life!?!

Yeahhh!!

The Exam
Aka The Examination Of The Life Lived
By The Man Woman Child Born
Rich Poor
Free Slave
Red Yellow Black White
Wise Foolish
Learned Untaught
Pagan Christian
Religious Irreligious
Hateful Hurting Hungry
Happy Sad Filled
Gluttonous Abstemious
Is 

An Open Book Examination Where ...!

... What Book!?!
Nobody Ain't Give Me No Book To Study From 

To Take No Examination Of Life Examination!

Again, Mon Frere, You Err!
The Lord Christ
Via The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Inspired Holy Men To Document For Us
His Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
For Every Single Human To Know!

Bub, You Know You Lie!
Not Everybody Knows Of The Lord Christ!
Not Every Body Is A Christian!
Not Everybody Can Read!
Not Everybody Speaks The Same Language!
Not Everybody Serves The Same God!

Ahhh, I Was Expecting Those Challenges!

One ... The Gift Of Speaking In Tongues
Aka Speaking In Other Languages 
Was Gifted To Mankind On The Day Of Pentecost!

Two ... Faith Comes By Hearing The Word Of God!

Three ... The Word Of God 
Shall Go Into All The World For A Witness!

Four ... All Mankind Shall Know Of The Doctrine! 

Five ... The Law Of God Is Written 
On The Table Aka The Tablet Of Man's Heart ...!

... Man's Heart Has Two Sides
Lungs Two Sides
Two Ears
Two Eyes
Two Kidneys
One Mouth ...!

... One Heart ... Two Chambers
Love For God And Love For Your Fellow Man
Duty To God And Duty To Your Fellow Man
And
That Examination Of Life
Covers Every Single Solitary Iota Of
Man's Humanity To Man
Man's Worship And Service To The Creator God
Without Exception
Absent Preference
With Clear Focus!

Did You Hear!?!
Did You Listen!?!
Do You Read!?!
Did You Do!?!
Do You Accept!?!
Did You Ignore!?!
Do You Gainsay!?!
Did You Reject!?!
Do You Believe!?!
Do You Doubt!?!
Did You Add!?!
Do You Subtract!?!
Do You Share!?!
Did You Prepare!?!

Do You For Your Own Soul Care
To Fear Him Who Did For Your Wretched Sin
Pay
So That He Could Before His Father Declare:


I Paid Their Costs!

Please Accept My Character For Theirs!
I Desire Them To Be Where I Am!
Protect Them Through The Strife!
My Spotless Life Has Purchased For Them
A Share In My Eternal Life!
I Have Made The Way Clear
And I Am Bringing Them Home
My Glory Forever To Share!


Amazing Love!

Jesus Made The Way
And
He Has Left A Road Map For Us To Carefully Follow
No Shortcuts
No Cutouts
No Switchbacks
No Detours
No Broadway
Only A Strait Aka Difficult
Narrow Aka Only Way!

The Only Way Up Is Forward!
If We Step Off The Path
The Only Direction Is Down!
If We Stay On The Path
The Only Protection Is Up
The Available Correction Is Holy
The Safety Is The Seal Of God
Satisfaction For The Soul Is
Christ's Salvation
By Our Departure From The Ways Of Satan
The God-Fraud
And
Acquiring And Maintaining An Intimate Knowledge Of
The Detailed Instruction 

In The Available Accessible Book!

He Gave Us The Book
And
He Expects Us To Open, Read
And 

Follow The Instructions!

The World, Sin, Self 

And 
Satan 
Poses The Questions
And
The Book
- The Good Book -
Has The Answers!


All The Answers!?!

All The Answers!

If That Is The Case
Nobody Will Fail The Exam Of Life!


Again, Mon Frere, You Err! You Err!

How So When You Said
The Answers Are In The Book!?!


The Answers Are In The Book
But ...!


... Don't Say It ...!

... The Book Is Considered A Decorative Piece
A Status Symbol
A Dead Letter
An Irrelevancy
An Out-Of-Step Communique
Wanting The Moderns
The Illuminated
To Sing Outside Of The World's Music
Outside Of The Self-Pleasing
Self-Serving
Self-Aggrandizing Tune!


What's Wrong With Self!?!
I Like Myself!


Loving Self Over Jesus Christ The Lord
Leads Self To Sin
Compliments Of Satan
Who Encourages One
To Reject Salvation 

Which Comes Compliments Of The Savior
Without Whom No Flesh Can Be Saved!


Spirit Of The Living God
Help Us To Open
To Read
To Understand
To Accept
To Respect
To Love
To Follow
To Share With Others
The Good In The Book
So That We Are Blessed
As We Bless Others
And
Bless The Lord ...!


... Bless The Lord!?!

Sure!
He Sacrificed!
He Gave The Book!
He Preserved His Word
And
Our Commitment By The Acceptance
And
The Practicing Of The Precepts Of
This Living Word
Tells Our Savior That He Is Loved
And
His Sacrifice For Us
Is
Personally Accepted!


Everybody Has To Go On The Record!
Pass The Exam And Pass On To Eternal Life!
Fail The Exam
And
Eternal Damnation 

Will Be On Your Permanent Record!

Oh, Man!!!

Just So You Know That This Is Real
Consider Disciples Simon Peter And Judas Iscariot!


Both Were In The Intimate Presence Of The Savior
But
Their Ends Speak
To The Two Classes Of Mankind:


Judas Iscariot Went Out From The Presence Of Jesus
And
It Was Night!
He Hung Himself!
Simon Peter Went Out From The Presence Of Jesus
And
Wept Bitterly!
He Was Converted To The Cause Of Christ
And
Encouraged The Brethren!
He Was A Pillar For The Lord
And
His Name Is Immortalized
On One Of The Foundations Of Zion
New Jerusalem
The City Of God!


So, Then
What Would You Say Was The Difference Between Them!?!

Judas Served His Sinful Self!
Simon Served His Loving Savior!
Judas Lived In The World In The Now!
Simon Lived For The World To Come Later!


The Truth Still Remains ...

Every Man  ... By The Evidence
- The Pure And Holy Evidence In The Book -
Must Make That Decision:


Lust-Filled Life Now, Damnation Later!
Christ's Selfless Love Now
And
Christ's Glory Later! 


The Ways Are Two: Light And Darkness!
The Answers Are Yeah! And Nay!
The Leaders Are The Savior And Satan!
The Destinations Are Heaven And Hell!
The Motivators Are Doubt And Faith!
The Good Gift
Is
Peace And Rest
Forgiveness And Salvation
Grace And Mercy
Hope And Help
And
Healing And Sealing!


Everything  Outside Of The Blessing ...!

... Is The Curse ...!

... Which The Book Shows Us How
- In Our Individual Lives -
To Get Said Curse Reversed!


Put Like That, I Need To Dig In The Book!

Once There, My Friend
You Will Find Hidden Treasure!


Believe Me, This Go Around
The Hunt Shall Truly Be My Pleasure!

Behold Your God!

Behold Your God, Brethren!
He Is Gracious And Merciful!
His Coming To Earth Again!
He Is Bringing His Rewards With Him
And
Lest You Forget
His Work Is Before Him:
His Strange Work!

Exactly What Do You Mean By
"His Strange Work!?!"

Who Is Our God!?!

He Is The Life-Giver!

What Is Our God!?!

He's The Jealous God!

What's He Jealous For Or About!?!

He's Jealous For His Name
His Glory Aka His Character
His Worship
His Praise
And
He Will Not Share What Is His With Another!

I Don't See Anything Strange About That!
Where's The Strange Part!?!

He's Coming To Clean House!
He's Going To Fix 
- Glorify, Immortalize And Make Incorruptible -
And
Retrieve
The Wittingly, Willingly, Wisely
Fallen-On-The-Rock And Broken Faithful
And
He Is Going To Destroy
The Proud, Presumptuous
And
Willingly Sinful Ungodly!

He Is Life
And
It Is Not His Will That Anyone Should Be
To The Eternal Kingdom, Lost!
The Work Of Destruction
Is
The Strange Work!

Forget That!
Tell Me Why Would Anyone Choose To Be Lost!?!

Ah, My Young Friend!
You Have Glommed On 
To The Crux Of The Matter: CHOICE!

Everything That Pertains To Soul Salvation
Is
A Choice!
Everything That Pertains To Soul Damnation
Is 
A Choice!


So What About If I Don't Decide To Make A Choice!?!

That's Not Going To Work In Your Favor!

Huh!?! How So!?!

No Choice Is A Choice
Because
If You Do Not Choose Life
- Stating Clearly Your Position For Life -
You Have Made Your Position Clear That
You Do Not Value:
  • The Life You Have
  • The Life Promised To Believers
  • The Life-Giver
  • The Promise Purchased With Innocent Blood


What You're Actually Saying Is That
The Lover Of Your Soul
Your Creator, Savior
Your Redeemer, Friend
Does Not Have ... The Power
And
You're Going To "Trust" Your Future
To Whatever Is ... Out There!

Wait, Wait, Wait!
Let Me Correct Myself!
We Already Know What Is Out There:
  • Eternal Life Or Eternal Death
  • Jesus Christ Or Satan
  • Blessing Or Cursing
  • Truth Or Error
  • Light Or Darkness
  • Confess And Repent Or Hide And Presume
  • The Narrow Way Or The Broad Way
  • Trust And Obey Or Distrust And Disobey
  • Believe And Live Or Disbelieve And Die
  • Hope And Glory Or Doubt And Destruction


Those Are Some Serious Options!

As You Can Clearly See
Everything In This Life
Is
Either-Or!
It Is Never
- Nor Will It Ever Be -
Either, Or, Or Or! 

There Are Only Two Positions! 

You're Either With The Lord And Against Satan
Or
You're With Satan And Against God!

If You Don't Say You Position
You've Made Your Decision!

So That's Why The Bible Says That
We Must Confess That Christ Is Lord!

You Only Confess What You Believe To Be Truth Or True!
If You Can't Or Won't Say It
It's Because You Don't Believe It
And
The Lord Has Nothing For Doubters!

Wow!
There Is No Neutrality In The Kingdom Of God!

You've Got It In One!

You Know ... I Like That!
I Really Like That!
It Tells Me Plainly That
We Can Depend On Our Almighty God!

Indeed!
Strong Position, Unshakeable, Firm
Same Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
He Is The Rock, Never A Worm!

So, Brethren,
How Will You Stand!?!
How Do You Stand!?! 

Will You Look Up To The Lord Christ And Live
Or
Will You Roll With The Changeable Tide
And
On The Broken Barge Delay And Decay
Take The Journey To Destruction
Because
For Your Own Soul's Salvation
You Did Not Care Enough To Choose
Christ's Glory To Share!?!

If You Believe The Word Of God Is True
Preserve Your Integrity
And
Send Your Word To Your God, Holy
As You Stand Up To Be Counted For Jesus Christ The Lord!
There Will Be Precious, Everlasting, Rewards
For The Faithful, Enduring-All Child Of 
The Holy God!
