WORKS? What does that mean to the BELEIVER? Jesus tells us to put on HIS "Yoke" and says that HIS " burdens" are "light". The word burden implies effort and yoke would be understood to mean " continual". Why would HE comand this and what does it mean? To me it means turning your life over to HIM and letting HIM lead in all aspects of your life for HE is the "good shepard". Spiritual growth can only happen to the "in-dwelt" beleiver. Why? Because only the HOLY SPIRIT can lead "man" into all TRUTH. How do we know if the H.S. is living in us? JESUS himself answers this question. "My sheep hear MY voice". Do YOU hear HIS voice? Do YOU do what that voice tells you to do? Do YOU obey the commands of the HOLY SPIRIT's voice?... How do we get to hear thisVOICE? JESUS again answers this when HE tells us to "Knock" and HE will answer. And to keep knocking until HE does. To him that seeks, he will find. I will come into him and sup with him and I will reveal MYSELF and MY FATHER to him. (read John 14:15-21 incl.) and then (read John 15:4-7 incl.). This Instruction, command, and promise from JESUS himself are clear and understandable for all who are seeking to be closer to HIM and to be recognized by HIM at the BEMA SEAT. Why would there be weeping in Heaven? Because of LOST OPPORTUNITY ! Don't put off seeking HIS VOICE any longer as HE is surely at the DOOR. Once the "boss" is on board, then and only then, can HIS WORK begin. MARANATHA! T.H. P.S. The determining factor between the BRIDE and the CHURCHES is whether JESUS "knows" you personally or just knows "of" you. HE definitely points this out in Revelation and the consequences of the difference. How do you KNOW if you are known to HIM Personally? HIS "sheep" hear HIS "voice"! Are you one of HIS "sheep"? Do you hear HIS unmistakable "voice"? If not, how will you "hear" HIM say "come up"? Remember that satan's first priority is to keep as many people as possible from getting to heaven. He does this with his best weapon, that is deception! That is that "believing in CHRIST is all there is to it". Even satan "believes" that Christ is the Son of God and that HE died for the redemption of mankind. Jesus warns that HE MUST KNOW us on a personal basis now while we are on earth or HE will REJECT us when we come to face HIM ! The only WORK that counts is the WORK that is directed to you by the leading VOICE of the HOLY SPIRIT not by what YOU think is work. Don't put off KNOWING that the HOLY SPIRIT is speaking to YOU ! Your Salvation depends on it.......HIS words not mine!
