MY FRIENDS, WHAT’S APPROPRIATE FOR THE ONE WHO GAVE IT ALL FOR US?

MY FRIENDS, WHAT’S APPROPRIATE FOR THE ONE WHO GAVE IT ALL FOR US?

“And….I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree” Rev 7:1 (KJV) Amazing grace my friends, how sweet the sound because in spite of all of the “breaking news,” in spite of the iniquity of mankind that continues “to abound, as the love of [many] grows colder and colder.”

In spite of, what John is telling us in Rev 7:1 (KJV) in conjunction with what Christ is telling us in regards to prophecy in Matt 24:12-13 (NKJV) God’s angels are holding back a total devastation of mankind because God’s grace still abounds. In other words, unlike the Antediluvian who “the Lord regretted that He had created, and He was [deeply] grieved in His heart” until “His wrath had been poured out without mixture until the cup of his indignation” had overflowed.

And then He said, “I will destroy (annihilate) mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth, not only man, but the animals and the crawling things and the birds of the air, because it [deeply] grieves Me [to see mankind’s sin] and I regret that I have made them.” Gen. 6:6 (AMP), Rev. 14:10 (AMP) Gen. 6:7 (AMP) But “God’s steadfast love grace and mercies have not come to an end for us; they are [still] new every morning; great is [His] faithfulness.” Lam. 3:22-23 (ESV)

So, if we will continue to seek God’s presence in His word through His Spirit as we tell the world that Jesus saves. And if we praise God and give Him all the honor and glory and through our faith, endure unto the end, we shall be rewarded with immortality. And God will take these corruptible [bodies] and give us ones without corruption,…..as Death [becomes] swallowed up in victory.” 1 Corinthians 15:53-55 (KJV)

And my friends, we can say that with no reservations only if we “are a child of God, heirs to His throne and joint heirs with His Son Jesus Christ. And if we believe, than our relationship with God must become personal and daily we must ask ourselves, since Jesus Christ died for my sins, what am I to give in return?

There is no price that could be paid for what Christ did at Calvary. But, Jesus said “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me,” Matt 16:24 (KJV) which tells us, because of what Christ has done for you and I on Calvary, we should show our gratitude, and give Him our all, which means following in His footsteps, as we travel the same road He traveled.

So if that is our desire, the Father is seeking those who diligently hearken to His Word. He’s looking for those that will hear and repeat what they’ve heard. He’s looking for those who’ll forsake all and follow after Him. He’s looking for those who’ll walk by faith and empowerment. He’s searching for those who will hunger after righteousness. God’s seeking for those who will lift Him high and subject themselves to weakness….are we one, are we one of the worshipers. (Alvin Slaughter, Worshippers)

My friends, key words, are we one of the faithful worshipers who will praise  Christ daily and show our gratitude by giving everything we’ve got, diligently hearken to His Word, hear and repeat what we’ve heard, forsake all and follow after Him, walk by faith and empowerment, hunger after righteousness, lift Him high and subject ourselves to weakness as we give God all the praise, glory and honor He deserves.

Every excuse we may give as the reason we cannot serve Christ, was challenged and answered at Calvary.
