We Are Instructed To Love Our Neighbor As We Love Ourselves AND Brethren This Is Quite Instructive!
They Are People That We Love BUT Do Not Necessarily Like Even Though In Our Hearts We Hold Them, Dear For Their Conversation Their Behaviors Their Interests Are Not Ours AND Constant Lounging In Their Presence - Physically Or Orally - Is Not Something For Which We Do Care!
Remember ...
Only Those Who Agree Walk Together!
Pleases Me! Brings Me Pleasure ...
There Are Those Persons Whom We Love AND
Whom We Like AND Whom We Sincerely Appreciate Those For Whom Gratitude Is A Banner We Bear AND
It Only Takes A Simple Action On Their Part For Recognition In Us To Dawn AND For Us To Know That They Are Keepers AND
We Desire That From Us They Never Depart!
This Is The Person That Is Friend!
We Previously Called Them Friend
Unconsciously BUT Something Happens AND We - By An Act Of Will - Recognize That Friend Is What They Really Are AND Then We - With Finite Understanding - Understand The Words Of Our Lord:
... There Is A Friend
That Sticketh
Closer Than A Brother!
What A Friend We Have In Jesus A Friend With Whom We Our Burdens Share - Joys, Hopes, And Pleasures Too - A Friend To Comfort Guide Feed And Lead Us The Friend That From Us Will Never Turn Away!
He Is The Friend The Soul's Life-Giver The Friend In Whose Blood Our Sins Are Washed Away The Friend From Whom Grace Comes AND
Mercy AND Sure Salvation The Friend Whose Love For Us Knows No Bounds The Friend On Whom We Can Ever Depend!
Jesus Christ
The One Righteous
IS
The Friend Who Gives Unto His Faithful Friends Abundant Life AND Immortality That Is Life Everlasting Life ... Without End!
Why Would I Why Should I Sell Gold To Buy Silver?!
Why Would I Sell Gain To Get Loss?!
Why Would I Forego The Water Of The River Of Life To Get Brimstone From The Lake Of Fire That Not Even The Hand Of Mercy From It Will Me Take?!
Am I To Be So Consumed With Buying And Selling To Get Unprofitable Gain That I Would Keep Sin's Stain AND Ignore Christ's Pain So That I May Live A Life Profane Dancing With The Devil Completely Wrapped Up In HIS Chains?!
No! No! A Thousand Times: "NO!"
I Believe The Words Of The Master! I Am Bathed In The Innocent One's Blood AND I Choose To Accept The Gift Promised Before AND Unveiled Realized On This Side of The Flood!
I Deny Satan The Liar Supreme! I Accept Soul Salvation For On Faith Jesus Christ's Blood Washes Me Clean!
By God's Great Grace I Accept The Conditions:
Faith Belief Love Trust Obedience Confession Repentance Baptism Hope Endurance No Doubt Never To Fables Turning Aside Walking Watching Working In The Secret Place Of Prayer Do I Abide As I Wait ... Patiently For My Faith To Become Sight For My Test To Be My Testimony For My Heart Of Flesh For The Good Work In Me To Be Completed For My Soul To Be Anchored In The Lord For My Change To Come For My Crown Made Of Heaven's Pure Gold!
Treating Sin As A Light Thing Is An Attitude Quite Foolish For Only Great Evil Comes Of It As Things Thought Light Will
- With Passage Of Time - Become In The Soul A Gross A Damnable ... Habit Leading One
Unto The Darkness Of The Blackest Night!
The Worst Thing A Parent Can Do To A Child Is To Treat Early Wrongdoing As Cute As A Flower
That Will Soon Pass Away For What Was Considered Cute In The Precocious The One Learning Wrong ... Young Becomes A Thing To Be Despised As That Soul Grows AND Egregiously Gets Bold!
The Act Of Constant Sinning Creates Muscle Memory In Man AND It Is Added To Man's Already Sinful Natural Inclination So, Please I Beseech You Teach The Young Ones To Do Right So That Satan And His Minions Cannot Deceive Them Encouraging Them To Be Creatures Of The Night!
There Is No Eternal Profit In Sinning Though One May Seemingly Enjoy Temporal Gain!
There Is No Harvest Celebration When Damnation Is The Result Of Sin's Shame! There Is But A Fearful Anticipation Of The Fruits Of Wrongdoing When The Judge Of All Men - That Paymaster Supreme - Issues Your Earned Paycheck As Promised For The Displeasing Work That You, In Unrighteousness Greatly Enjoyed Doing!
Little Sinners Unchallenged Unchanged Become Iniquitous Reprobates Left To Their Own Devices Abandoned To Their Own Self-Prescribed - But Prophesied - Fate So, Please Do A Body Good AND Teach The Children Right AND By Your Own Good Example Lead Them On The Straight And Narrow Way AND In This Manner There Won't Be Any Own-Sin Self-Pay For They Will Be Living In The Light AND Not Be Upon Mankind A Scourge
Why Should Your Personal Choice Affect My Free Will?! Why Should Your Freedom To Make Foolish Even Egregiously Bad Decisions Cost Me My Life?! AND, FURTHERMORE Have You Even Considered How Each Person's Free Will Each Person's Free AND Personal Choice AND "No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour
WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh!"Intersect?!
I Once Heard A Pastor Say That Because He Is So Certain Of His Soul's Sure And Promised Salvation That He Would Not Defend Himself Against An Intruder A Bandit Even If It Cost Him His Life Because It Could Lead To - AFTER His Demise - That Bold And Ravening Sinner Repenting Of Known Sin AND Coming To Jesus AND Being Saved For Eternity!
Maybe He Was Thinking Of What Jesus Said:
Greater Love Hath No Man
But He That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends!
And I Would Say That He Is Wrong?!
I Agree! Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation!
Jesus Christ's Life Is The Only Life That Was
That Is
The Suitable Sacrifice For Sin!
Everybody Knows Right From Wrong! God's Law Is Written On Every Man's Heart So That They Are Without Excuse!
But What Of Innocent Blood As Seed?!
Indeed ...!
So We Come To The Crux Of The Matter ...
Tomorrow Is Not Promised! Now Is The Acceptable Time! Now ... Is The Day Of Salvation!
What Of The Martyrs?!
What About If We Confess Our Sin He Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Us Our Sin And Cleanse Us From ALL Unrighteousness?!
What About If Any Man Hear My Voice And Answer?!
What About Harden Not Your Heart?!
What Of
Get Wisdom!
Get Understanding?!
What Of
Let Us Hear The Conclusion Of THE WHOLE MATTERFear God And Keep His Commandments For The Living God IS Judge?!
What Of
My Reward Is With Me To Give Everyman According As His Personal Work Shall Be?!
Harden Not Your Hearts!
Be Ye Holy As Your Father Is Holy!
Blood As Seed Works While God's Mercy Is Still Working! It Won't Work When Man's Probation Is Finished!
This, Somehow
- To Me - Smacks Of A Certain Level Of Presumption ...!
... Just Like Death Bed Confessions And Death Bed Repentances!
Too, True!
Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
Almighty God Looks At The Man's Heart!
Think About This:
You Stab A Man In His Heart ... Deliberately AND THENPlead With Him Not To Die ... As You Try To Save Him From Dying!
That's Presumptuous!
We Need To Confess Our Known Sin And Repent To God Every Day
In Jesus Christ's Name For No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh
Is All That I'm Going To Say!
Be Careful Ye That Think Ye Stand Lest Ye Fall!
No Man Should Take A Stance Like That Pastor!
We Daily Sin
By Thought Word And Deed
AND
We Need To Remember The Word:
Every Man Has The Same Opportunity
AND
We Should Remember That
The Soul That Sins
It Shall Die
AND
Unconfessed Sin Is Sin ... Unforgiven!
Any Final Thoughts ...
By Thy Word, Thou Art Justified! By Thy Word, Thou Art Condemned!
I Sincerely Believe That That Pastor's Idea Is Heaven-Daring Arrogance!
Nowhere In Scripture Will You Find A Saint Of God Presuming Upon God's Mercy In Such An Unseemly Manner!
We Are To Give Up Fleeting Things For Christ
And For The Sake Of The Gospel!
We Do Not ... In My Personal Opinion Have The Right Nor The Power To Decide That Our Life Is God's Seed
And Be Hopeful Of Something That In All Likelihood May Never Happen!
No Criminal Ever Said Or Will Ever Say:
I Shall Go And Kill Me A Good Christian Man
A Man Sure Of His Soul's Salvation
A Heaven-Bound Saint
And God ...
The Living Eternal God Of All Grace
Who Pays All
BUT
Is Paid By The Wilful Desire Of The Christian
To Be A Human Christ
AND
Who Knows The Thoughts
AND
Intents Of The Desperately Wicked Human Heart
Is Going To
- In Servile Cooperation
For This "Once Saved Always Saved" Man's Willing Sacrifice -
Convert Me
And Save My Soul
From The Second Death
Even Though I Am Wilfully Sinning
AND
Have Repeatedly, Flagrantly, Scorned His Free Grace
AND
Have Purposefully Chosen
The Way Wherein Lies
Death!
You Ain't Lie!
Wouldn't It Be Easier For The Christian In Faith For Faith To Pray:
God Have Mercy!
Save Me!
And Then Say To That Wilful Sinner:
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
Stop!?
The Apostle Paul Consented To Murder AND By His Zealous Wrong-Headed Efforts Caused Many Christians To Perish!
Jesus Christ, Himself Met The Then-Called Saul - On His Way To Harm More Christians - AND Asked Him Why He Was Persecuting Not The Christians But Christ, Indeed AND Blinded Him AND Cast Down His Vain Imaginings AND Caused Him To Walk In Physical Blindness For Three Days - The Same Time That Christ Had Lain In A Sinner's Grave - To Ultimately Give Him Spiritual Eyesight!
He Repented
AND Was Converted AND
Physical Scales - At The Appointed Time - Fell From His Eyes
AND He Became
The Ultimate Warrior For Christ!
Paul Was Humbled AND
He Humbled Himself!
Not Once Did He Say:
I Shall Let Them - The Adversaries - Kill Me So That They - By My Personal Sacrifice - WILL Be Saved!
Paul Did All To Preserve His Life!
Paul Did Not Indulge In Heaven-Daring Arrogance Because He Had "An In ... An Inside Track To God!"
That Faithful Apostle
At His Life's End
Said:
Paul Trusted The Lord AND The Word Of The Lord AND He Chose To LIVE For His Jesus AND ... WORK ARDENTLYFor The Salvation Of Dying-In-Sin Dying-Through-Sin Men's Souls!
The Point Here Is ...
As Jesus Christ Asked The Murmuring Pharisees:
Which Is Easier?
To Say
Son, Thy Sins Be Forgiven Thee!
OR
Take Up Thy Bed And Walk!?!
Which In This Case, Is
Dare To Die For The Sinner
Who Will Perhaps Not Be Saved AND You, Yourself, Are Probably Also Lost Because We Sin Daily By Thought Word Deed OR Dial-Up Yourself Your Saving Jesus By Fervent Prayer AND Request The Angel Guard While Also Requesting That The Holy Spirit Meet The Evil-Doer Face To Face!
Brethren,
If You Say You Trust Believe Worship Praise Obey Honor
AND Glorify Almighty God In Your Person Do It All Day Every Day In Every Way In Every Situation!
There Ain't No Back-Door To Heaven! There Ain't No Special Pass-By-Here For Saints!
The Door To Heaven Is Jesus Christ The Lord!
AND The Key To The Door Is Living Faith!
The Way IS Straight And Narrow For We Must Live By Christ - The Way The Truth And The Life - AND We Are Not To Do Anything That Will Cause Us To Lose Our Crown AND That Free ... To All REPENTANT SINNERS Eternal Life!
Brethren,
I Caution You
AND Myself I Am Certainly Including:
Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself!
Let Us Ever Seek Out The Will Of Almighty God For Our Lives!!
Be Faithful ... Unto Death! Don't Call Death Unto You!
What Is Our Watch-Word?!
Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost!
Please Do All
To Grow In Daily Grace
Through Your Working Faith For, Soon
- Very Soon - We Shall See Jesus Christ Face To Face!
