"WORKS? What
does that mean to the BELEIVER?"
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.
