Just some reflections on this topic, and how the love God is not of our own. There is human love that is emotional and can even be self-righteous, and this is why man’s righteousness is filthy rags to God….. but the love of Christ that the bible speaks of that we are to have can only come from Him. Bible says, “From me is your fruit found.”…. from His Spirit. And His love is a two-sided coin…it can be tough love and bring chastisements and reproof, and it can also be comforting and healing.
The true gospel is not man-centred but centred on Christ who glorifies the Father. It doesn’t place God as our Santa Claus in the sky, doing our bidding and fulfilling our laundry list of wants……but it restores the Lord as God when someone repents and humbles themselves under Him and no longer going their own way but His way. Remembering that the reason behind suffering in the world overall is because it is God’s righteous judgment for sin and going our own way. One part in the video where it was talking about those who came to Christ and kept falling again and again. I wonder if people sometimes need a little more of His tough love side of the coin to help them understand how serious it is to fall into sin. I don’t mean in a way of condemning anyone, but it helps people to get free of bondages if they understand the fear of the Lord, and not think that His grace can be abused or taken for granted. When we’re between a rock and a hard place, that is when we seriously cry out to the Lord, and He answers. Just thought it good to mention for our benefit here, since there is such a famine and dearth of the truth in these days generally, and a wealth of false gospels trying to come into the vacuum. When we think of the love of God, we need the right balance, I guess is what I’m trying to say.

He was quite grave , and so we SHOULD BE TOO. Did paul teach or GIVE the light impression that OH GOD understands we keep falling and falling . OR DID HE FLAT OUT SAY , LET all who name the name of CHRIST depart from inquity. Did paul say , HEY guys don't be so judgmental on those who have sin and not repented , did he say when I come I am going to give a coffee and a hug to all who have sinned and not repented . NOPE , HE SAID THE ROD IS COMING WITH ME and HE WOULD rebuke those who had sinned AND NOT REPENTED . SISTER you are RIGHT . When it comes to error , we must be as was the early church , be SERIOUS and do all IN HOPE that those in error WILL repent. JESUS said not in vain if your eye causes you to sin , BETTER to pluck it out . Sin is a deadly monster . IN fact paul says EXHORT one another daily , LEST any does become hardened through the deceitfulness of sin . And correction IS EDFICATION for the church . an uncorrected church IS a church unto destruction . YOU ARE RIGHT SISTER . WE must be sincere , we must be serious and exhort daily . We must do as pual reminded , BEHOLD the goodness and severity of GOD . BEHOLD IT and TEACH IT and REMIND OF IT .

Let us imagine this . ON HIS DAY as all are gathered before HIM . What do we really believe he will tell those who even did good works IN HIS NAME who had even cast out demons in HIS name , WHEN they allowed and said JESUS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY . WHEN JESUS HIMSELF SAID HE WAS and TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD ONLY HE SAVES . HE WILL SAY , DEPART FROM ME workers of a religion of robbers and thieves , FOR HAD YOU TRULY BELIEVED IN ME , YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WAS THE ONLY WAY , THAT ONLY I AM THE DOOR and ONLY JESUS can open that door . YES . ITS THAT IMPERATIVE we remind many THAT HE IS THE ONLY way and their is NO OTHER Way or plan of salvation .

Budda cannot open that door , allah cannot open that door , philosophy cannot open that DOOR . THE DOOR is CHRIST and ONLY HE CAN BOTH OPEN and CLOSE that DOOR , THE DOOR by which a man enters IS SAVED . But no other cloak will work . They cant be cloaked in good works , not in budda , not in atheism , not in any other . DO let us remember the man who was in the marriage supper WITHOUT A ROBE . CAST OUT . Satan is the THEIF and has done all to try and steal the inheritance and so do his men . Acting as though THEY hold the KEYS of salvation . WHEN ONLY JESUS DOES . OH , lets heed them not . HEED THEM NOT . NO man who calls JESUS LORD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH , can then turn around and say , OH but good works can save one even if they know not CHRIST , or that any other religion is okay N the EYES OF GOD . Cause it is not . JESUS ONLY SAVES and though in time this will also be seen as hate speech . ITS LOVE SPEECH and let it be told TO ALL that has breath . ONLY JESUS SAVES , now REPENT and BELEIVE .

<< And correction IS EDFICATION for the church . an uncorrected church IS a church unto destruction >> Amen! A spirit of political correctness has caused correction and reproof to be lacking in the church.....that spirit of political correctness needs to be corrected.

I know MY SHEEP and am KNOWN by them . THEY will not heed a strangers voice , they will flee the strangers voice. THEY FOLLOW the LAMB wheresoever HE does lead and HE GUIDES them into ONLY TRUTH for HE IS TRUTH . He guides them in the way , FOR HE IS THE WAY . And no man period can go unto the Father , UNLESS BY AND IN CHRIST . The battle line has been drawn . AND LET every lamb who loves the LORD gather on the SIDE which GLORIFIES CHRIST . For in time the world as one will keep being led into greater deception and their hate will turn into murder as under a collective beast the order will be given , LET us cleanse the land of all who cling to JESUS ONLY SAVES . and then many shall betray many and deliver them up and we will be hated of ALLLLLL nations . But he who endures faithful to the end the same shall be saved . And though the body can be killed , OUR SOUL IS THE LORDS . OH rejoice in the LORD and fear not a thing man can do . FOR GOD IS WITH US and will be with us unto the end . Raise those hands and praise the LORD .
