A
certain Ruler asked Him (Christ Jesus)
Good
Teacher, (You who are essentially and perfectly morally good),
What
shall I do to Inherit Eternal Life
[That
is, to Partake of Eternal Salvation in Messiah's Kingdom]?
Jesus
said to him,
Why
do you call Me (essentially and perfectly morally) good?
NO
ONE (IS ESSENTIALLY AND PERFECTLY MORALLY) GOOD
EXCEPT
GOD ONLY.
(Luke
18:18, 19, AMP)
It
is Critical for Christians to understand
That
the only “goodness” in this World is Motivated by God.
Nothing,
outside of what is Motivated by God, is Good.
Everything,
outside of what is Motivated by God,
Is
Motivated by Satan, the Ruler of All
Who do
not belong to Christ Jesus—Who are not Born Again—
Who
are not walking in the Light of Christ Jesus.
(1
John 5:19)
Everything
that is not Good is Evil;
This
is a Black and White Issue.
This
is why the World is always in a Desperate Condition--
Satan
keeps the godless World in a Desperate Condition.
His
desire is to send the Whole World to Hell--
The
Hell he is Destined for.
And
Scripture tells us he nearly succeeds.
(Revelation
13)
In the
End, the only ones who do not go to Hell with Satan,
Are
those whose names are Written in the Lamb's Book of LIFE.
(Revelation
13:8)
What
do you see around you that is Motivated by God?
There
is Precious little.
Most
of what we see around us is Motivated by Satan.
We,
who Believe, are here to Overcome this Wicked, Evil World.
Scripture
tells us how this is done:
And
they have Overcome (conquered) him (Satan)
By
means of the Blood of the Lamb
And
the Utterance of their Testimony,
For
they did not love and cling to life
Even
when faced with Death--
Holding
their lives Cheap
Till
they had to Die [for their witnessing].
(Revelation
12:11, AMP)
Christ
Jesus instructed His Disciples to Pray like this:
Our
Father Who is in Heaven,
Hallowed
be (kept holy) be Your Name.
Your
Kingdom come, Your Will be done,
On
Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give
us this day our Daily Bread,
And
forgive us our Debts,
As
also we have forgiven
(Left,
remitted and let go the debts,
And
given up resentment against) our Debtors.
And
lead (bring) us not into Temptation,
BUT
DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE.
(Matthew
6:9-13, AMP)
Only
God in us, Christ living IN and THROUGH us
(The
goodness of God)
Enables
us to Overcome this World ruled by Satan.
The
Apostle Paul admonishes us:
And
let us Not lose heart and grow Weary and Faint
In
Acting Nobly and doing Right (good),
For
in due time and at the appointed Season
We
shall Reap,
IF
WE DO NOT LOOSEN AND RELAX OUR COURAGE AND FAINT.
So
then, as occasion and opportunity open to us,
LET
US DO GOOD (MORALLY) TO ALL PEOPLE
[Not
only being useful or profitable to them,
But
also doing what is for their Spiritual Good and advantage].
BE
MINDFUL TO BE A BLESSING
ESPECIALLY
TO THOSE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH--
THOSE
WHO BELONG TO GOD'S FAMILY WITH YOU,
THE
BELIEVERS.
(Galatians
6:9, 10, AMP)
