Without Holiness no one
will see God (Hebrews 12:14)
Put another way:
without Holiness no one will go to Heaven.
Holiness
is freedom; the only people who are free are holy.
Everyone
else is captive to SIN; captive to Satan.
The
only people who are holy have Christ Jesus living in and through
them.
Only
Christ living in and through you can make you holy;
You
are then dead to SIN and alive to Christ.
The
apostle Paul warns us:
Make
every effort to live in peace with all men and to be Holy;
Without
Holiness no one will see the Lord.
See
to it that no one misses the grace of God
And
that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
See
that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau,
Who
for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.
Afterward,
as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing,
He
was rejected.
He
could bring about no change of mind,
Though
he sought the blessing with tears.
You
have not come to a mountain that can be touched
And
that is burning with fire; To darkness, gloom and storm;
To
a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words,
So
that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to
them, Because they could not bear what was commanded:
'If
even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.'
The
sight was so terrifying that Moses said, 'I am trembling with fear.'
But
you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem,
The
City of the Living God.
You
have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,
To
The Church of the Firstborn [Christ
Jesus],
Whose
names are written in Heaven.
You
have come to God, the Judge of ALL men,
To
the spirits of righteous men made PERFECT,
To
Jesus the Mediator of a New Covenant, and to the sprinkled blood
That
speaks a better world than the blood of Able.
See
to it that you do not refuse Him [Christ
Jesus] Who speaks.
If
they did not escape when they refused Him Who warned them on earth,
How
much less will we,
If
we turn away from Him Who warns us from Heaven?
At
that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised,
'Once
more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.'
The
words 'once more' indicate the removing of what can be shaken--
That
is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore,
since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken,
Let
us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,
FOR
OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE. (Hebrews 12:14-29)
Living
a life of Holiness
Is
the only way anyone will avoid the CONSUMING FIRE of God.
“How
little people know who think that holiness is dull.
When
one meets the real thing...it is irresistible.
If
even ten percent of the population had it,
Would
not the world be converted and happy
Before
a year' end – C.S. Lewis
Listen
to God speak to ANYONE who will hear Him:
Now
if you obey Me fully and keep My Covenant,
THEN
out of all nations you will be
My
TREASURED POSSESSION.
Although
the whole earth is Mine,
You
will be for Me a Kingdom of Priests, A Holy Nation. (Exodus 19:6)
I
AM the Lord your God;
Consecrate
yourselves and be Holy, because I AM Holy.
(Leviticus
11:44)
We
are living in The Time Of The END!
Today,
there is A Bride making herself ready for a wedding.
She
will be wedded to Her Bridegroom, Christ Jesus.
She
will be joined with all those of previous generations who loved God.
For
Her:
There
is a highway in the wilderness call the Way of Holiness
And
only the Redeemed will walk there.
They
will enter Zion with singing ;
Everlasting
joy will crown their heads
Gladness
and joy will over take them ,
Sorrow
and sighing will flee away. (Isaiah 35:8-10)
In
the wilderness of this world; in it's gross darkness;
In
it's sin and depravity; there is a Way.
That
Way is Christ Jesus.
He
is the only Way out of the wilderness of a lost and dying world.
A
world, that in its present form, is passing away. (1 Corinthians
7:31)
It
is almost gone; it is in it's death throws.
However,
first, all that is written in God's Word must be fulfilled
Many
within The Church of God will go into Apostasy/Rebellion against God.
Most
of those living on earth today
Will
reject God, His Christ Jesus and His Word.
As
a result Satan will present to the world his son, the Antichrist.
The
deceived world will receive its “false savior;”
Receive
his “mark” and worship him and seal its doom.
Then,
as a result, God will pour out His Great Tribulation.
The
Beast, the Antichrist will perpetrate upon the world
The
greatest holocaust the world has ever known.
Millions
of people will be killed;
All
those who refuse the “mark” of the Beast.
At
the end of The Great Tribulation
After
the earth has been completely “ruined”
And
all the cities of the world are rubble
And
most of humanity dead;
Christ
Jesus will return and destroy the Antichrist
And
all the armies of the world, from every nation on earth,
That
have come to fight against Him at Armageddon.
He
will do so with the breath of His mouth
And
the splendor of His appearing. (2 Thessalonians 2:8)
Their
blood will rise as high as a horses bridle for 180 miles.
That
will be the END of the world in its present form.
It
will be a terrible, disastrous and ignoble ending
Of
six thousand years of depraved, sordid human history.
Nevertheless,
those who found the Way of Christ Jesus;
The
narrow Way, The Way of Holiness; Will be The Bride of Christ.
She
will become One with Christ and rule and reign with Him
For
all Eternity.
These
are those who will see God.
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!
