Will Christ Find Faith On Earth?


When the Son of Man comes will He find FAITH on earth? (Luke 18:8)

Why does Christ Jesus pose this question?
Because this is the question that faces every person
Who claims the Name Of Christ;
Because the WAY of Christ is a Narrow WAY that only a few find;
Because this FAITH costs you your life in this world;
You must give up your life in this world to obtain the LIFE of Christ.
(Matthew 16:24-25)

The apostle Paul said:
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live,
But Christ lives in me. (Galatians 2:20)

This statement by the apostle Paul defines FAITH.
It is the proof that we are sure of what we hope for
And certain of what we do not see [Hebrews 11:1-2];
That we do not simply honor God with our lips
When our hearts are far from Him. (Matthew 15:8)
Contrary to most of the teaching about FAITH, today,
This is what FAITH is; This is how Christ Jesus defined FAITH
And His teaching takes precedent over all other teaching.
All of Scripture conforms to the teaching of Christ Jesus; God in flesh.
Christ Jesus wrote all of Scripture; He is the Word made flesh.

'If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself
And take up his cross and follow Me.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it,
But whoever loses his life for Me will find it.' (Matthew 16:24-25)

'If anyone comes to Me and does not hate [love less]
His father and mother, His wife and children, his brothers and sisters—
Yes even his own life--He cannot be My disciple.
And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me
Cannot be my disciple.' (Luke 14:26-27)

'I tell you the truth,' no one who has left home or brothers or sisters
Or mother or father or children or fields for Me and The Gospel
Will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this Present Age
[Homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—
And with them, PERSECUTIONS) and in the Age to come, Eternal LIFE.
But many who are first will be last, and the last first. (Mark 10:29-30)

Those who teach contrary to the teaching of Christ Jesus
Are false teachers;
They are the wolves in sheep's clothing that the Christ Jesus warned about:

'Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing,
But inwardly they are ferocious wolves.' (Matthew 7:15)

The apostle Paul reiterated the warning of Christ Jesus:
'I know that after I leave savage wolves will come in among you
And will not spare the flock.
Even from your own number men will arise and DISTORT the TRUTH
In order to draw away disciples after them.' (Acts 20:29-30)

The apostle Paul told the Corinthian Church:
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the FAITH;
Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--
Unless, of course you fail the test? (2 Corinthians 13:5)

What is the TEST?
'Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.
For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?
Or what fellowship can LIGHT have with darkness?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?
What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
What agreement is there between the Temple of God and idols?
For we are the Temple of The Living God.
As God has said: 'I will live among them and walk among them,
And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

Therefore come out from among them and be separate.

Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.
I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters.
Says the Lord Almighty.' (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)

Realize this, every person who does not have Christ living in them
Is living in darkness, is wicked and unclean;
As were all of us who now have FAITH at one time.

Christ commands those who have FAITH
To come out from the world and be separate.

The apostle Paul goes on to say:
'Since we have these promises [Eternal LIFE], dear friends,
Let us purify ourselves from, everything that contaminates body and spirit, Perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.' (2 Corinthians 7:1)

Today, much of the preaching ignores the commands
And teaching of Christ.
Those who do so are ferocious wolves in sheep's clothing.
They tell their listeners what their itching ears want to hear.
They will go to Hell together.

Open up your Bible beginning in Matthew
And read the words of Christ Jesus.
Continue reading the words of Christ throughout the New Testament.
If you have conformed your life to the standard Christ has set for FAITH,
Praise God! If not, you are in danger of Hell's Fire.

You are individually responsible before God for your FAITH or lack of it.
On Judgment Day you will not tell Christ
That some preacher deceived you and did not tell you the TRUTH.
Your FAITH will determine your Eternal Destination and nothing else.
It will not matter what country you live in, what church you attend,
Who your mother and father were.
The only thing that will matter is your FAITH,
Which Christ Jesus understands perfectly.

I pray that all who read this will examine themselves
To see if they are in the FAITH,
And if not, will seek Christ and His Kingdom
With all their heart, mind, soul and strength. In that there is hope.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
