MY FRIENDS, IF WE FAIL IN OUR TEST AND TRIAL WE ARE DISOBEDIENT TO THE VOICE OF GOD!

“He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Is. 53:5 (NKJV) My friends, What the first Adam failed to do was accomplished at Calvary.

“For a period of time Christ was on probation. He took humanity on Himself, to stand the test and trial which the first Adam failed to endure. Had He failed in His test and trial, He would have been disobedient to the voice of God, and the world would have been lost (E.G. White Signs of the Times, 5/10/1899).

The fate of the world was being decided and I can only imagine demons were asking Satan what’s happening will you still be the god of this world as they witness Christ dying. Not understanding because Christ endured the cross that the highest position Satan would now hold would be prince of a lost world.

A world where he had no power except what the second Adam gives him. Christ dies, angels are searching the parapets of heaven for answers. The Jewish elect and the Roman officials who condemned Christ to die have disobeyed God’s voice, never realizing even they had a chance for salvation because of the second Adams endurance and victory at the cross.

Satan’s character is revealed. Up until Christ death he had hidden what his true intent was, even the holy angels had not understood the course he took or why. But now the plan of redemption was complete the character of God was revealed to all mankind and love and honor is established and will be from that point on throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity.

So now my friends, as disciples and children of God, are we focused on our goal, life eternal? And  is the word of God our road map to how we live our life? And are we praying without ceasing and allowing self to die in Christ each day  as we allow His Spirit to transform us into Christ image?

We must ask ourselves these questions because if we fail in our test and trial on this Journey Christ has placed us on, only tells God we have not used Christ as our example thus ignoring His voice and where He is trying to lead. So our choice then becomes that “wide gate with the broad road that leads to destruction that many will enter through.”

But we are guaranteed and protected from the penalty of sin, if and only if, we are willing to give it all to Master and endure until the end like Christ. But we must also understand that this earth is not our home and that we are only aliens.

Aliens who are “desiring a better country, that is, a heavenly one, where God is not ashamed to be called our God, in a place He has prepared for the redeemed a [“place Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man”] Heb. 11:16 (NKJV)

So please, let’s continue to listen for God’s voice as we spread the good news through out the world, never giving up, enduring through it all until the race is over and Christ can say “well done good and faithful servant” as we cross that finish line.

And then, on one accord, in adoration, throughout the heavenly courts, we will all give God the praise, glory and honor, forever realizing, without Satan telling us otherwise, the Love grace and mercy that was employed for our salvation.

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