If we LOVE the truth, we FULFIL the First Commandment, because GOD IS TRUTH! John 14:6, 14:17, and 15:26. How simple is this, yet some will say, “It’s impossible, life cannot be THIS simple”? And, they are NOT wrong! Called to take up our cross and follow Christ, humbling ourselves in obedience unto death, is undoubtedly the most difficult facet of our faith! If we are prepared to lay down our lives for our Lord, then the Christian faith is this simple! Hear the words of The Lord Jesus, “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple”. Luke 14:27. “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. Matthew 18:3 and 4.
Created with freewill, and therefore OFFERED deceptive ‘solutions’ by the ENEMY, many choose to complicate their walk through life keeping the traditions of men that have no foundation in Scripture! Matthew 15:9. The truth is, the REAL message of Scripture is that we simply LOVE the truth, so much we will die for it! If we love the truth, everything else begins to fall into place! Life is all about CHOICES, and loving God, Who is Truth, is of course a matter of personal choice!
Man was created for GOD’s enjoyment and pleasure! This is why GOD fashioned us in His image, and gave us dominion over all things, so that GOD could fellowship, and share His extravagant nature and character with us! Has His creation backfired on Him Who made us? Looking at the state of Earth, a truth filled, honest answer after a serious reality check would surely be, “It certainly appears so”! Furthermore, this may be confirmed in The Scriptures!
“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart”. Genesis 6:5 and 6.
“And The Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of The Lord”. Genesis 6:7 and 8.
IF men choose rebellion and evil, what should GOD, WHO IS, and HAS THE Ultimate Power of Choice, now do? How often it is said, “Why does God not do something to stop the evil in the world”? YHWH surely can! YHWH has done it before in the great flood, and such as speak so foolishly had best watch their words, but to answer this matter wisely, it is because, “GOD has PUT man in charge”! It is MAN’s purpose to bring an end to evil, and STOP the wickedness on Earth! It is simply NOT God’s business, or in God’s purposes, but man’s purpose, and this, for a very important REASON, the fulfillment of The Genesis Prophecy! Genesis 3:15, Deuteronomy 13:1 to 11, and Jeremiah 48:10.
Notwithstanding, and despite our lack of appreciation for our calling and role purpose on Earth in our ongoing apathy and wickedness, GOD HAS DONE the unthinkable! GOD has judged the world, and cast Satan out! John 12:31. GOD has sent His Son to redeem mankind, and the WORLD WENT AFTER Him, John 12:19, but not everyone! We must note, (and this is very important), it was the religious leaders that opposed our Lord! The religious leaders had turned the worship of God as Sovereign Lord and King, into the business of religion! This was the reality when our LORD made a scourge and drove out all those who sold doves in the second temple, John 2:13 to 16, and that same root of wickedness, operates in “churches”, synagogues, mosgues, and “temples”, all over the world today! Deuteronomy 20:16 to 18, and Joshua 15:63.
This is why This Gospel of The Kingdom, Matthew 24:14, is not heard in ecumenical “churches”! They do not want the truth, or The Kingdom of God! Therefore “this gospel of The Kingdom” is preached only in the house group Churches!
The truth is, men do not concern themselves with the truth! The truth is, GOD brings the evil upon man to sort the wheat from the chaff! 2 Chronicles 15:6, and Jeremiah 15:1 to 6. The truth is, God is not going to stop evil in this world. This is man’s work in his PURPOSE, and the world is man’s testing ground! This world is where we are tried, and PROVED before we THINK to share eternity with God in paradise!
May we have ears to hear!
“Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it”. Jeremiah 5:1
Do we understand this verse of Scripture is teaching GOD will pardon Jerusalem for a single man that does judgment, and that seeks the truth? Very evidently, GOD knowing the end from the beginning, there is not one, therefore it becomes much more than interesting that Scripture prophecys the final end of Jerusalem at the end of this age, IS BY FLOOD! Daniel 9:26, and Matthew 24:37 to 44.
How this comes to fruitition is a journey you will hopefully embark upon to be ready for, with us.
“As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth”. Daniel 9:13.
The truth is, “the world”, DOES NOT WANT the truth! “The world” wants music, and to feel good! Seeking this, it is only common sense that the enemy will provide this to boost attendance, and cashflow! This is why every “church” one visits has a drum kit, guitaurs, and a music “ministry”. The enemy knows what they want, and is giving it to them!
Unless we are truly devoted to Bible Study, to learn and understand the more sure word of prophecy, 2 Peter 1:19, we surely risk perishing with the deceived. 2 Thessalonians 2:8 to 11. Old KJV.
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause GOD shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they ALL might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8 to 11 Old KJV.
“But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief”! 1 Thessalonians 5:4.
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall KNOW the truth, and the TRUTH shall make you free”. John 8:31 and 32.
