In
the END, Christ Jesus returns to reclaim the earth He created,
And He
establishes His Kingdom on earth for a Thousand Years,
The
Millennium, the Day of Rest,
From
the Six Thousand Years He has “worked” with mankind.
With
Him will be the Righteous,
Those
who Overcome this world and Satan who currently rules it;
Those
who Overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And
the word of their Testimony;
Not
loving this life so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11)
What
makes a person Righteous?
Only
one thing, and that is Christ living in and through that person.
We
have no righteousness of our own [Romans 3:10],
There
is only One Who is Righteous, Christ Jesus.
We are
justified by Faith (Romans 5:1];
Made
righteous by Faith, and that by the grace of God.
Abraham
believed God and His Faith was credited to him as Righteousness.
(Romans
4:22)
However,
his Faith, his Righteousness, was put to the TEST
When
God asked him to sacrifice his only son.
Abraham
passed the TEST,
However,
had he not, he would not have been found Righteous.
So we
see that our Righteousness is on the condition of our Obedience.
What
does this Obedience entail?
Let's
look at some of the Requirements:
For
if you forgive men when they sin against you,
Your
Heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But
if you do not forgive men their sins,
Your
Father will not forgive your sins. (Matthew 6:14-15)
Do
not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,
Where
moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But
store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven,
Where
moth and rust do not destroy,
And
where thieves do not break in and steal.
For
where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew
6:19-21)
Do
not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink,
Or
about your body, what you will wear.
Is
not life more important than food,
And
the body more important than clothes. (Matthew 6:25)
Seek
first [and above all else] the Kingdom of God and His
Righteousness,
And
all these things [everything you have need of]
Will
be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33)
Do
not judge, or you too will be judged.
For
in the same way you judge others, you will be judged,
And
with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. (Matthew 7:1-2)
[This
judging is concerning motives not actions;
We
cannot know a person's motives
But we
must judge their actions, their FRUIT.]
Do
not give to dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs.
If
you do, they may trample them under their feet,
And
then turn and tar you to pieces. (Matthew 7:6)
Enter
through the NARROW Gate.
For
wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to DESTRUCTION,
And
many enter through it.
But
small is the Gate and Narrow the road that leads to LIFE,
And
only a FEW find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
[The
heart-set and mind-set of the world is the broad road
That
leads to DESTRUCTION;
Every
person doing what is right in their own eyes.]
Watch
out for False Prophets.
They
come to you in sheep's clothing,
But
inwardly they are FEROCIOUS wolves.
By
their fruit you will recognize them. (Matthew 7:15-16)
Do
not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather
be afraid of the One Who can DESTROY both soul and body in Hell.
(Matthew
10:28)
Whoever
acknowledges Me before men,
I
will also acknowledge him before My Father in Heaven.
But
whoever disowns me before men,
I
will disown him before My Father in Heaven. (Matthew 10:32-33)
Do
not suppose I have come to bring peace to earth.
I
did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For
I have come to turn a man against his father,
A
daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her
mother-in-law;
A
man's enemies will be the members of his own household.
Anyone
who loves his father or mother more than Me
Is
not worthy of Me;
Anyone
who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
And
anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me
Is
not worthy of Me.
Whoever
finds his life will lose it,
And
whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. (Matthew 10:34-39)
We
can see from these few examples that OBEDIENCE is not an easy task.
It
can only be accomplished by Christ living in and through a person.
I
pray that those who read this message are among those who do.
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!
