Take heed and beware . What shall we compare this generation too . It is like a father who tells his son , Son I desire you to be happy and have joy . If you keep what I tell you and do as I say you will be happy and have joy . The Father then tell his son to have the list of chores done before HE arrives Home from his journey . And the boy begins to read . Take out the trash , do the dishes , and have the yard mowed . As he ponders , along comes the serpent and says alas boy why are you disquieted , why is your spirit down cast . And the boy tells the serpent , my father left me this list to do before He comes home from his travel. And the serpent says , ALAS my dear child , you are taking that list out of context , let me show you how to put it in CONTEXT , Did you Father not tell you , he wants you to have joy and be happy and if you do as He says you will . And the boy replies Yes and the serpent says , SO you see, you are taking the written list OUT OF CONTEXT , for this does not make you happy and joyful , Does it . OHH the boy says your right , I was taking it all out of context . AND WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE will HAPPEN WHEN THE FATHER returns . HE will PUNISH the WICKED boy . FOR this generation says , That is not what the bible says , YOU are taking it out of context , IT cannot mean this , FOR once you are saved YOU are always saved HERE let me put it in CONTEXT . YEAH , scary times HUH.

That does describe many today. Those who actually say we should really obey the Lord are mocked and called legalists, while those in sin call themselves Christ's free men and women.

Amen......it's sad how simply obeying the gospel is being called "works-based" salvation. But the gospel is neither salvation without works nor working to be saved, but, it's a matter of working out the salvation that has been freely given.....and it is just our reasonable service. And it isn't as if the Lord has flown off and left us all alone as orphans to work it out by ourselves.....He is with us, leading and guiding and teaching and giving us of His strength as we seek Him for it.
