Gino, it is very apparent to me that I am not nearly as
well studied in the Holy Script as are you. I would like to give
you an example of what I mean by "accounting" something.
A few years ago my oldest son needed a car for his new wife. He
did not have the money to purchase a very nice used auto that he
had located. He needed 4000 dollars for it. I loaned him the
money using a flex line of credit that I have. He was very
faithful in repaying what he agreed to every single month even
though I knew it was difficult for him. As soon as he had repaid
3000 of the 4000 loaned to him I told him that as far as I am
concerned your debt to me is paid in full.
The point that I would make is that he could not make that
determination himself as that would be untrue and deliberate
theft from me his father. I am the only one that could
make that call. I "accounted" his debt paid in full. I pray
always that the only One that can "account" me worthy to escape
the trials that are about to fall upon those on this earth. I
know for certain that I have an eternal destiny with Jesus in
His eternal kingdom. I know that that destiny is sure only
because he loves me, a sinner, enough to have suffered on that
cross in payment (in full) for my debt. At this moment I
am a sinner and God in His infinite wisdom knows what needs to
be done to insure that I am the best possible citizen that He
can make me in His eternal kingdom. His word tells me in 1 Peter
chapt 1 vs 6,7 that there can be trials and tribulations for me
"that the trial of your faith being much more precious than gold
that perishes though it be tried by fire may be found unto
praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
Verse 6 tells me that He may determine these trials necessary
for me. I pray not.
Is He about to kindle a fire so that the dross may be removed
for some rebellious Christians such as myself? I pray always
that I would be "accounted worthy" to escape those things that
are about to come to pass on the face of the earth to try
those that dwell on the earth. He may decide that my faith which
is more precious than gold needs to be refined. I pray not but I
trust Him reguardless. He alone knows what is in my best
interest.
