It's funny how things get turned upside down. A good lawyer is an expert at making someone who is guilty look like someone who is innocent by how clever he is with words.
 
The bible says that the humble will inherit the kingdom of God. It also says that he resists the proud. The proud thought and think they are right with God but God always exposes their hearts. It always had to do with what was in the heart.
 
We have gone over many many scriptures here re warnings from Jesus and the apostles that were addressed to his people, Christians. They warned us to be ready. But we have many today say that we who point to these scriptures are legalistic and prideful. So who is being prideful?
 
If I resist the instruction of the Holy Spirit I am prideful. If I say I do not need to be prepared or ready when the scripture clearly says I should, I am prideful. I do not want to be pounding on the door. I want to humble myself now and not resist the calling of the Holy Spirit. If someone wants to call me and others prideful and legalistic so be it. I know that is part of the deal in being a Christian, dealing with opposition the way Jesus asked us to is a given.
