"Sound Doctrine the truth about salvation and the rapture"
Jesus said they worship me in vain according to the traditions of their
fathers they speak of me with thier lips but their hearts are far from
me.
He said the road is narrow and the path straight and few find it.
Most churches today take pride in their worship services their buildings their activities their fellowship.
The good news is preached come as you are Jesus is love.
It's true Jesus died so many may live we cannot in our sin nature flesh please God we cannot justify honor or redeem ourselves.
All other religions in the world try to do so.
The Christian correctly understands Jesus died for His sin and rose for His redemption. Most stop there.
But the great commadment was to go out into the world and teach them the
disiples servants to obey all that was taught in the word to basically
put off the old life in the flesh through the grace and march and power
and right we were given to become Sons of God.
The condemnation of the end times corporate church is that they have a
form an outward appearance of Gofliness but lack the power of. They fail
to exercise the power to overcome this life by grace and stop living
for here and start living by the spirit.
That is why they are blind and don't know Jesus is coming they are not
looking they are watching football having small groups on the latest
Christian self help book on how to live abundantly here.
They refuse to entertain the fact they are supposed to be working our
their salvation here with trembling and fear in meek humble supplication
to almighty God and by the Spirit mortify the deeds of the flesh to
walk in the spirit focusing on heavenly not earthly.
Go to the bible read Paul talk about the race about keeping His flesh in check by the spirit.
This is the narrow path. The one that realizes we cannot save or justify
ourselves that God calls us to His Son that Jesus gives us the Holy
Dpirit and by that spirit we are supposed to live unto Him and seek Him
first in all things to seperate ourselves unto Him basically die to self
and world pick up the cross and follow Him home.
This is the Narrrow path. The rapture is a reward for those found
watching waiting praying warning knowing there is a judgemnet coming and
Jesus is the only shelter and escape.
It is just as in the days of Noah people eating drinking marrying and
oblivious to the fact judgemnet has been over their heads since birth
and there is an axe to their feet those who not abiding in the vine and
bearing fruit:
I just raced to another pointless meeting and am surrounded by a world
many professing religion that have no idea how close we are to Jesus
coming or that only things done in Spirit prospers.
They assume they have maybe another thousand years or Jesus wants us to
build the kingdom or revelations is already happened Whaat?
Those outside of the body see the stuff going on but focus on man made
solutions or causes. They live for here not their eternal destiny.
Point is the condemnation is not our sin debt which Jesus died for and
covers but the refusal to truly understand judgemnet is coming and the
true repentance of the heart where we fall before a merciful God and
admit we are totally helpless and wretched poor blind and incapable of
saving ourselves and calling upon the name of The Lord saves.
That gets us to being given the Holy Spirit. Our first act of faith should be telling another and full immersion baptism.
But again that's where the tracks jump. We must humbly acknowledge we
were bought for a price and are now not part of the word but citizens of
Heavan and should no longer walk as the world does.
Does politics, football, reality tv, or even the worship service
planning take our attention are we still concerned more about our 401k
then what's coming then we are off the track.
Yes work to eat be honest and have to give. But do it for Jesus I try and its hard I cannot say I am totally attaining it.
But I know its a race and where I see the world walking I know the path leads the other lonely way.
I watch I wait I pray and I warn Jesus is coming get on the ark now!
