We must DAILY take up the CROSS of JESUS CHRIST to FOLLOW him to his WORLD WITHOUT AN END (Ephesians 3:21). “Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life” (Jude 1:21).
As time
winds down towards the soon coming END OF YEARS the devil and his fallen angels
are working overtime to destroy human beings. This is becoming more apparent
from the daily news stories of killings and all sorts of horrible things around
this world. By the word of God we must be alert DAILY and NOT give place to the
devil because he knows his time is soon going to END!
We must keep
our hearts with all diligence in the LOVE of GOD in HOPE and FAITH looking to
ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.
When a young
man wanted to know what he must do to inherit eternal life, this ws the
communication with Jesus, as it is wrotten:
“And,
behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do,
that I may have eternal life?
And he said
unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God:
but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
He saith
unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Honour thy
father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew
19:16-19).
Our Lord
JESUS reminds us, saying: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the
gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat; because strait is the gate, and [NARROW IS THE WAY, WHICH
LEADETH UNTO LIFE], and [FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT]” (Matthew 7:13–14).
“For many
are called, but [FEW ARE CHOSEN]” (Matthew 22:14).
The Apostle
Paul also reminded us when he said:
“Now this I
say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither
doth corruption inherit incorruption” (1 Corinthians 15:40, 50).
“Now the
works of the [FLESH] are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told
you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom
of God” (Galatians 5:19–21).
“But the
fruit of the [SPIRIT] is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith” (Galatians 5:22).
“Therefore,
brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For [IF YE
LIVE AFTER THE FLESH, YE SHALL DIE]: but [IF YE THROUGH THE SPIRIT] do mortify
the deeds of the body, [YE SHALL LIVE]” (Romans 8:12-13).
“[BE NOT
DECEIVED]; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap. For [HE THAT SOWETH TO HIS FLESH SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION]; but
[HE THAT SOWETH TO THE SPIRIT SHALL OF THE SPIRIT REAP LIFE EVERLASTING]”
(Galatians 6:7-8).
“Now the
[GOD OF PEACE], that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great
shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you
perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is
wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and
ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21).
“And the
very [GOD OF PEACE] sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and
soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”
(1 Thessalonians 5:23).
“Now the [GOD OF PEACE] be with you all. Amen” (Romans
15:33).
