God Loves Me Just The Way I Am...
My Lord:
Then who is going to hell?
If it is all paid in advance as the heathen teach, then what judgement is to come? Who trembles? What forgiveness is needed if it is all already paid in advance? If it is as all the false profess, truly then why would anyone need to Repent. If Repent only meant change your mind as they love to say, change it from what? when it is all paid, all obeyed, all fulfilled, all done, all forgiven already for you. If Repent was the cheap word they have turned it into, like they do to the word "faith", make it hollow, empty, void of any power, any effectualness. The best they can show forth as power is Repent (change your mind), go back to sins unto death (change your mind), Repent, (change your mind again), go back to the sins unto death (change your mind again), the Repent routine so many believe. Or like that other group, sin, confess and repeat, just make it a weekly thing. How cheap does such a lie make the sacrifice of the only begotten Son? Christ who was nailed to a cross so we could be truly free indeed. Then to abuse that sacrifice and rather be free indeed, one never is able to obey, never able to stand fast, never able to hold fast, never able to dig deep, never able to run the race, never able to fight the good fight, never able to strive, never able to affirm they are truly in the faith that works by love and is proven by deeds, actions, works. Never able to work out ones own salvation with fear and trembling. Never able to simple obey from the heart the doctrine received of God.
Acts 24:25, " And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. "
Where is the POWER? Where is the FAITH? Where is the OBEDIENCE? Where is the TEMPERANCE? Where are the UNMOVABLE? Where are they who WAVER NOT?
Who wants to come out to see the broken reed? No one. They want to so the Power, that ability to stand fast, they need to see it. It must be shown to them so they know it can be done out of true love with all thine heart, all thine mind, all thine body, all thine soul, all thine might. Who is going to show forth Christ in them? Who truly thinks they show forth Christ in them as they walk in the sins unto death? Who truly thinks they are loved watching porn, lusting through the flesh, hating, killing, stealing, destroying, fornicating, committing adultery and ever other sin that is unto death. One is loved when they turn from all of that, go back to the Father and Go and Sin No More. The angels sing in heaven for a sinner that turns back, they do not sing for them who wallow in the mire.
Hebrews 10:23, " Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) "
He who promised is FAITHFUL and He desire the same in kind, faithfulness.
Unwavering - continuing in a strong and steady way, constant, steadfast.
Steadfast - firmly fixed in place, immovable! firm in belief, determination, or adherence, loyal!
Adherence - steady or faithful attachment, fidelity!
Always full circle, faith being faithful, being obedient.
Fidelity - the quality or state of being faithful!
Each word defined fill up the other words. They are not empty and hollow but bear virtue, that effectual operation of a fact of ones state of being. The chain becoming a chain by each linked together as one chain. Many members but one chain. Chains are strong, have power, are able to endure, can bear great weight, filled with ability to hold fast and be unmovable.
Truly how true is a heart that plays the I love you, I cheated, I love you, I cheated, I love you, I cheated game? Indeed, absolutely, for certain how much worse will it be for them that trample Son under their feet. Angels in heaven were not spared, the old world was not spared, the natural branched were not spared and the Son was not spared. Loving all just the way they are is utterly and total foolishness. God loves them that love Him. God loves obedience, for it is better to OBEY then to sacrifice. It is the whole of the matter put before us, to fear God and KEEP His Commandments. The whole duty is obedience to that which ye place your faith, trust, loyalty, fidelity, monogamy, faithfulness, sincerity and all like to these things that one finds in the word faith and obedience.
Heb 10:29, " Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? "
Change your mind for what? Receive a new heart for what? Who does God send to hell, those He loves? Yes He loved the world enough to give His only begotten Son a sacrifice that all might have the promise, the freedom from sin, the forgiveness, to be born again, given a new heart, but they who do not forsake sin are not loved by Him. The Truth is that His very face is AGAINST THEM.
Truly consider the examples given, how great these examples are. Consider them that did not get all the warnings this present world is blessed to have indeed.
God spared not the natural branches!
Romans 11:21, " For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. "
God spared not the angels that sinned! Why did not God just love the angels as they were?
2 Peter 2:4, " For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; "
God spared not the old world.
2 Peter 2:5, " And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; "
God spared not His only Son.
Romans 8:32, " He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? "
If something is "against" you it can not be for you. It can not be loving you just the way you are. It may desire something better for you but if you are willing to reject that, then one will be rejected. God will not always contend with men. There is a line drawn and the end will come. Loving the world enough to give all the chance, the time to work it out, what is it you truly love? Sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness?
Against - In opposition; noting enmity or disapprobation.
A friend of the world it hatred towards God, for they stand against Him. It is not love that stands against God but hate. One walking in willful disobedience against the Commandments of God is not professing love but hatred. They who rebel, disobey are against God. Confess the Son and He will confess you. Turn to Him and He will turn to you. Ashamed of Him and He will be ashamed of you. Turn from Him and He will turn from you. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Reap what is sown. If these do not express like for like, kind for kind, eye for eye, then I do not know what does.
It is commanded we love our enemy. We are not God, we do not think like God, our ways are not like His. Who can teach God?
I can not love my enemy and hate him. I am not God, it is Commanded that we love our enemies and not become that which we fight against, so that our conversations can be blameless before them who desire one thing, to find fault, to find reason, to find excuse to accuse anyone who walks uprightly, for them that want to see the reed broken. To resist not evil with evil and yet resist the devil. I do Go and Sin No More. I was set free indeed. I can obey from the heart. I am obeying from my heart out of love, having been forgiven much, truly one loves much more. Not that movie version, but me, an individual person created by God to fear Him and obey Him as me. Not the fake pretense tv character portrayed by the imaginations of men. To hate sin indeed, to not sit with them that live in absolute error. To shame them not as enemies but as brothers. In the hope they will Repent and come to know the Truth. Vengeance is not mine but the Lords, not my place to condemn, but to judge what is good and what is evil and to know which to choose. To eat of the butter and the honey.
Each is condemned by their own mouths, out of their own hearts, no one needs to do it, they are doing already. To what they love, the issues of life coming from the heart, that which is truly loved, is found out. Nothing is hidden, even when it is being hidden. The mouth gives it all away, for by ever idle word all will give and account either justified or condemned. As the slothful servant is judged out of his very mouth.
Luke 19:22, " And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: "
The Law written upon the heart for one to, freely, willingly follow after it. Having desired truly the change, the new man and God having granted it, that repentance given by God, a new heart given. All good things come from the Father of Lights, a gift indeed. The Son sacrificed, the chance to be born again in newness of Life, forgiveness, time to work it out in fear and trembling, to learn to deny thyself ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live soberly, righteously and godly lives now in this present world. Truly a gift no man could of ever earned, or done on their own. Strangely turned into all being paid, all being obeyed, all being done for you without the works Commanded by God, Repent. To truly believe with all thine heart and obey with all thine heart that which one comes to profess their love for. To not seek your own but the wealth of another, to increase God and be decreased, humbled, and made perfect through such suffering, that denial of the lust of the flesh.
2 Timothy 2:25, " In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; "
Put the Law in us for what? If it is all obeyed for us, why waste the time putting the Law in us? Why should we have a TRUE heart, when that is already done for us, or will be done after Christ comes. Why are they always waiting for it all to be done for them? Why always trying to get everyone to wait to be able to do anything after Christ comes? Why always trying to get everyone to not prepare. It all prepared for us, no need to do anything but repeat some words, say that silly sinners prayer, have an altar call, admit you broke the Commandments. Just empty swelling words that have no value, no power, no true meaning, sold by them who love the false witness. Misery loveth company indeed. Birds of a feather absolutely flock to gather. Lower the bar, remove the standard, tell them lies, sell them lies, make it easy. Faithful? No need! Obedience? What for? Loyalty? NO ONE CAN BE THAT, just admit you can not be faithful, loyal, trusted and then go back to being unfaithful, unloyal, untrustworthy.
Hebrews 8:10, " For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: "
Hebrews 10:16, " This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; "
Not a simple change of mind, but with a True Heart. If you truly believe with all thine heart, yes you may. Going from the evil conscience, being truly washed with pure water. Evidence of one being truly born again, wearing a white rob, no longer that old man. When I was truly set as described here. I could see it in them they did not believe it, know it, understand it and yet they professed to have it. This is the vileness of them that teach all these lies, who literally rob anyone they can of the POWER of the Truth with a lie. It is an of violence, for all sin is violence. They love anyone who is not able to do anything but remain the old man and give lip service. Few want to see the power, many want to see that broken reed that is like themselves.
Hebrews 10:22, " Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. "
If true love just accepts you as you are, then why teach a child in the ways of the Truth, why not just love them for what they become? As the world is doing right now. Why would God Command all to Repent if they are already loved no matter what they do? If it is all paid for already, nothing to do but just say you believe. Just quote John 3:15-16 and your loved just the way you are. Go back to sleep now, you repeated some words and nothing else is required of stewards.
1 Corinthians 4:2, " Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. "
They love to cast dispersion's on anyone even trying to be righteous, upright, moral, fighting to be able, never mind someone actually doing it. Sanctimonious, self righteous, hypocrite, for they only see the old man and themselves. If they are not able, then none are able. To the unjust no one can be just. To the impure, nothing can be pure. Easier to mock, then to be convicted.
No church of God takes in the unrepentant sinner, but rather puts them out in the hope that they will be destroyed by satan before it is to late. To come to acknowledge the Truth and truly receive the promise of forgiveness for sins past.
God loves them that love Him and they that love Him bear a mark.
Who, right now can answer that without reading what it is?
They who sigh and cry over the abominations that are in the world. They who love Him are broken by the evil that is in the world. They who love have Repented, that confessing and FORSAKING of sin. Then they show forth another proof of their calling and election is sure, they keep the Commandments written upon their hearts willfully. For after being washed in the blood their robs are white and stay white through obedience that is faithful.
Forsake - to renounce or turn away from entirely.
Entirely - to the full or entire extent, completely.
True love is obedient to that which is loved, it does not fail, for it seeks not its own but the increase of that which is loved. The Law of Love requires what any Law requires, obedience. Obedience to the faith, what faith? Ones faithfulness to that which is loved. Submission of thine will to another. Submit thyself unto God as written. If you love Him, obey Him, it is a simple premise.
James 4:7, " Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. "
Submit - to yield oneself to the authority or will of another.
The weakness by which we are made strong in Christ, submission. Not dying daily to sin, that is just another filthy provision. But rather submit thyself unto God and you will be made strong, able, complete, rich, perfect, built up, peculiar, separate, bearing the ability, unmovable in the faith that works by love and is proven by deeds.
Obedience:
Greek - G5218
Word: ὑπακοή
Transliteration: hupakoē
Phonetic: hoop-ak-o-ay'
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Definition: obedience, compliance, submission, obedience rendered to anyone's counsels, an obedience shown in observing the requirements of Christianity...
Obedience - Compliance with a command, prohibition or known law and rule of duty prescribed; the performance of what is required or enjoined by authority, or the abstaining from what is prohibited, in compliance with the command or prohibition. To constitute obedience the act or forbearance to act must be in submission to authority; the command must be known to the person, and his compliance must be in consequence of it, or it is not obedience obedience is not synonymous with obsequiousness; the latter often implying meanness or servility, and obedience being merely a proper submission to authority. That which duty requires implies dignity of conduct rather than servility. obedience may be voluntary or involuntary. Voluntary obedience alone can be acceptable to God.
Romans 1:5, " By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: "
Romans 6:16, " Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? "
Romans 16:19, " For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. "
Romans 16:26, " But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: "
1 Corinthians 14:34, " Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. "
What LAW? If it is as they teach, what LAW could Paul be preaching after Christ has been crucified? Christ fulfilled all the Law so man did not have to right? What Law COMMANDS OBEDIENCE? The Law of liberty does, for it requires that all who are stewards of it are to be faithful to it. Faith being faithful, which is obedience. This is love, true love taught by God to all whom Love Him. As written He loves them that love Him, they whom love Him obey Him. God gives Commandments which are an expression of His love, they who express their love to Him, keep His Commandments. If ye Love Me, keep My Commandments.
2 Corinthians 7:15, " And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. "
2 Corinthians 10:5, " Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; "
2 Corinthians 10:6, " And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. "
Readiness to revenge all disobedience. After Christ comes, or NOW! Now it is right now, for there will be no disobedience after Christ comes. Fulfill your obedience NOW and them you will revenge all disobedience. For the unfaithful hate faithfulness, they love fornication and adultery, it is championed in this world.
Philemon 1:21, " Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. "
Hebrews 5:8, " Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; "
1 Peter 1:2, " Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. "
Sanctified of the Spirit UNTO OBEDIENCE. No where is it written, that one receives the promise so they can be disobedient, be unfaithful. Profess their love and go be with another because it is more convenient, or feels better. God keeps His oath and expects all to keep theirs. This is true love which can not be found in the world but by the Spirit.
Again, He is faithful that promised, so He desires the same unwavering faith. If ye love Me, keep My Commandments. Bear the make that you are His, be ye faithfully obedient, preparing, waiting, watching, at the door even now.
Hebrews 10:23, " Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) "
There is no such thing as a sinning Christian, they are liars absolutely. They who sin are of the devil, they are not in the body of Christ. It matters not how much one says Jesus, goes to a fake church, or profess their love. They who sin are of the devil. They who sin are servants to sin, not Jesus. Christ said it plainly and simply, there is no question that can be put to this Truth. Does God love the sinner just the way they are? NO! Are men to love sinners just the way they are? NO! For love corrects, desires the best but sadly not all will come to know it. But love fights the good fight, love seeks their increase, love seeks their wealth. Yes physical and spiritual wealth. Love spares not the rod of correction, hate remains silent in the face of evil. Hate stands upon the wall and sees the enemy coming and sounds not the alarm.
1 John 3:8, " He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. "
John 8:34, " Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. "
So then where is the contradiction? How can you love a sinner and hate the sin? You love them by correction, by the shaming, by you doing what is right first and then you are able to honestly teach the Truth. To remove the beam from thine own eye, then help your brother with the beam in his eye. They who sin are servants to sin. They who sin are going to hell, for the wages of sin is death, not Life. They who teach thou shalt not steal, but steals can not do so, for the beam remains in their eye. When someone truly is born again, washed in the blood and wearing a white rob, the first thing that happens is they who are not wearing the white rob, try and dirty them who are. They hate to see anyone wearing the Truth, when they are only pretending. This is why all you hear from them is judge not, excuses and provisions. Of course this is what they want, they are still filthy in their sins. It's not of works, of course it is not of works for they are unable to work. One can not work but they are called to work with God in the garden. You have to chasten, chastise, correct, reprove, rebuke and exhort with all longsuffering. This is hating sin and loving the sinner. To love anyone enough to give them what they truly need to live, to have Life. God has given all what they need, if they refuse to take it and use what is been laid out through the sacrifice of His Son, how will He love them any more then He already has? He gave His Son, but this is not enough for the lust of the flesh of men who want to be loved just the way they are.
Again, God will not always contend with men. There is a line drawn.
The word " against " denotes enmity, hatred towards them that go against the Way of the Truth. It has nothing to do with loving anyone just the way they are. Yes, loved enough to be rebuked, but if that does not correct them, have nothing more to do with them. That is a real act of love. Love does not rejoice in wickedness or them that do wickedness. True love corrects and then separates if the correction is refused, one remains a peculiar person, that looks not like the world.
1 Peter 3:12, " For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. "
To cut off the remebrance of them from the earth, not just love them no matter what, just the way they are.
Psalms 34:16, " The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. "
The line is drawn, there is a time when one will have stepped in front of the train and it will not stop.
Jeremiah 28:16, " Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. "
Here is an act of love! To show them their shame so they can turn from it. Love corrects, rebukes and separates itself from evil, no matter whom is doing that evil. Love is not a respecter of a persons person. Who gives up house, wife, children for the Truth will in no wise lose anything. To be shown it so one can truly understand and be without doubt. This is what you have done and if you do not Repent truly from the heart you will be cast from the face of the earth, for I will not always contend with men.
Nahum 3:5, " Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. "
Not set free indeed, but put into bondage for iniquity, for sin, for lawlessness, for disobedience. Eve ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil and for that disobedience cursed with death. Christ set us free from that curse, no longer bound. That is the point of it all, being set free indeed to Go and Sin No More, to be able to obey from the hear the doctrine of God Almighty.
Ezekiel 39:23, " And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. "
You have a decision to make in the valley of decisions. Who will you yield yourselves servants to obey? Sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. They who do evil are evil. They who do righteousness are righteous even as Christ is righteous.
God loves them that love Him. God is not sending those He loves to hell. They who love Him obey Him and are faithful to Him. Just as God is love and faithful to them that love Him.
This is the Lords day, it is the last day of the week. God rested on this day, sanctified it and made it holy for man and not man for it. This is the seventh day. This is the forth Commandment of God. This is the Sabbath, this is a day to do good.
To do good is to rest, for there is no such thing as resting in that which is not good.
It is remission and not permission.
Seek, Repent and Sin No More...
Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen...
