As I consider faith mingled with the
mind of Christ as they work together in perfect harmony completing the saint, I
am struck by a thought that is rather worrying and as I look around the
statistic states there are millions of professing Christian across the globe
and yet most of it when judged in accordance with the scriptures proves one
thing, most of them seem to be caught up with pseudo-Christianity. It is clear
to see where any organization stands with regard to the voice of God. See how
seriously they apply the Word of God to their lives or “Declarations of Faith”
(evidence to what they believe and stand upon). It isn’t rocket science, in
fact it is rather simple to see the sheep from the goats. Test the value of
scripture in the context of any organization and it will soon become evident to
whether they are true or false converts. If an organization claims to have
Christian principles but blatantly disregards the voice of God, they do not
belong to Him, they do not have the mind of Christ and they are wolves in sheep’s
clothing looking to prey on the weak.
Who will fall privy to these lies, most
certainly not those founded upon the truth of God’s Word? Who have their own
house built upon the chief cornerstone, the Lord Jesus Christ! He is a solid
foundation that will never be moved. He has overcome and His quest has been conquered,
“it is finished”!
Condoning sin as if it is our common
right is an error we can never excuse. Same sex marriages are just one of those
voices that prove those claiming it as their God given right, highlights that they
are the enemy of the cross. They are still blind and in their sin. There may be
some that are yet babes in Christ that would be taken by these lies, but not
for long, it will soon become apparent where we all stand with our God. For if
they are truly born again God will bring them around. How do I know this to be
true? Because the Word of God teaches me that my heavenly Father has no worthy
opponent that will sway His will and breech His purposes. That is cast in
stone! If God is for the believer who can be against them? “For
those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his
Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those
whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified,
and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to these
things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:29-31)
I am persuaded of
these truths but are you?
“Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,
"For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as
sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels
nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the
love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35-39)
When
a person begins to toy with the Word of God all it proves is they are carnal by
nature and they haven’t understood the importance of putting on the mind of
Christ, which every believer has been given. If we look to twist it to accommodate
our own fleshly lusts we will end up like Eve looking for fig leaves to cover
up our shame. Trust the Word of God, believe it and then seek out the abundance
of God’s graces to live it out and we shall live. That is a given! Let no one
fool you with empty promises as they twist God’s instruction just as Satan did
in the Garden of Eden. Receive God’s instruction plain and simple, do not look
to complicate its instruction and it will be well with your soul. “But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people
into more and more ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among
them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have swerved from the truth, saying that
the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.” (2Timothy
2:16-18) – In other words do not get in disputes concerning the
obvious with those who look to bring in heresy.
Regardless of you maturity as a Christian; TRUST
GOD AT HIS WORD AND IT WILL BE WELL WITH YOUR SOUL!
