ARE YOU SOFTENING AND COMPROMISING THE WORD OF GOD?

Greetings dear saints of God and any who will become saints of God. The Bible calls all those who belong to God saints, both Old and New Testament. God is so good dear ones, saints. In the New Covenant, in Christ Jesus we are sons of God, joint heirs of the entire Kingdom of God, we are priests unto our God, we are kings under the King of Kings Jesus the Christ. This is not only for the “sweet by and by” but right now, this is all ours, are you walking in it by faith. Remember, all is by faith in love. All physical manifestation as its origin in the spiritual. Now, to our study of the Kingdom of God and our anchor Scripture.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Do we see this as a command or a laudable (praiseworthy, admirable, commendable) goal? It is a command. If the Lord Jesus said it, commanded it, in His earthly Ministry and He only said what the Father told Him to say we are fully able. It would be unjust for God to command something we are incapable of doing, not authorized to do, not equipped to do. Is our God unjust? To be just is synonymous with being righteous. Is our God righteous? I will now move into our next teaching of the Kingdom of God from the mouth of the Master.
Matthew 21:28-32 (KJV)
28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Wow, Jesus was pretty straight forward with these Chief Priests and elders of the organized Church/Religion of the day. Are we straight forward in our discussions with others or do we think it love to soften the Truth which is compromise which is sin. Jesus tells these leaders of the organized Church of the day that the tax collectors and prostitutes would enter the Kingdom of God before them. Why? The Church leaders of the day did not recognize, accept, or obey the Truth when they heard it and saw it. The tax collector and harlots of the other hand were open to the Truth, received the Truth, and did the Truth, throwing the door wide open to the Kingdom of God.
TAKE HOME:
- It is very dangerous to assume that our denomination, our tradition has cornered the Truth when we have not studied to rightly divide the Truth nor been a good Berean.
- Sometimes many of us have balked at the Word of the Lord but then coming to our right mind did the Word of God and Jesus says that is doing the will of the Father. Of course, it would be better to obey at the outset but been there done that have the T-shirt.
- We must be clear in conveying the Word, the will of God, to others. Not in a harsh or abrasive way but in a kind but clear uncompromising way.
Lord willing, I will resume right here tomorrow. Remember, we love you, the Lord loves you, and there is nothing you can do about either one.
