Inheritance: Abomination in the Sight of God

God's Warth is Coming... Are You Ready?

You had better listen to the words of Jesus, “Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, shall enter, but he that does the will of my father in heaven.” If ye by the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the flesh, ye shall live. If you live after the flesh, you’ll die! The cross does not give us a minor shift or two with regard to a few of our ethical and religious values. The cross radically disrupts the very center and citadel of your life from self to Christ. And if the cross has not done that, YOU’RE NOT A CHRISTIAN! My Friend face it, young rogue, you’re not a Christian until the cross has radically disrupted the very center and citadel of your life! And brought you from a life of commitment to serve self…What are the focal points of the reign of your self? If you’ve gone to the cross in union with Christ, it’s been shattered!"

Abomination in the Sight of God

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Why then will you continue to hold yourself up as a good person? Why will you keep the facade of being a true Christian while inwardly you walk in darkness? In that day when all secrets will be know, shall it be worth it to you? How long O ye simple ones will ye love simplicity? Are not the words of our Lord clear? Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

It is not worth it my friend, to uphold your facade of righteousness and live a pseudo Christian life. Only radicals can be Christs disciples. Only radicals can go to heaven. Only radicals will hear Christ say, well done, thou good and faithful servant. Only radicals will shine as the stars of heaven. Only radicals will look upon the return of Christ with joy. Only radicals will reap life everlasting.

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

So my friend, are you abomination in the sight of God, or are you a radical follower of Jesus Christ? Remember, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
