The early church had persecution from outside and power struggles inside along with contentions. Men rise up to draw people away.
The “last” will be in existence when Jesus Christ returns. There will be persecution of the remnant of the church. Come out of her. Be awake to hear all we are given. Don’t be a foolish virgin.
Judge righteously without partiality. To know the facts we need God’s discernment. We do it without hearing or seeing but with God’s righteousness. He sees the heart. Mercy is a key in righteous judgment. Our justice system does not allow for mercy and compassion. Jesus Christ did not expect justice in this world.
Withdraw from folk not in line with God’s ways. Guard treasures He has given us. Be diligent, we can effect the faith of others. Edify by our actions. Imitate Jesus Christ – keep traditions as delivered. Contend earnestly and don’t let heresy creep in. Hold fast, keep that good thing.
“Left Behind” series is truth and fiction. Doctrines = teachings. Don’t add or take away. Hold fast – don’t drift from scriptures. Take heed and don’t forget. God will not stand for false worship – consequences.
God calls and raises up in the last day. He gave His son so we should not perish but have everlasting life. As in Adam, all die but in Jesus Christ all made alive. He will pour out his Holy Spirit on all flesh in the last days. Fear God and keep His commandments. He will bring every work into judgment.
God is great and has an incredible future for us. We need his Holy Spirit to comprehend his plan. Blessed are we if we have eyes and ears to see and hear it. Stir up the spirit. Watch and be ready. Learn to be ruled and rule our own spirit. Have love for one another.
Begotten now not yet born. Abraham believes God and was the friend forever. He had willingness without question. Moses was the only one to ever see God in His glory. Establish a friendship with God. See the Lord while He may be found. Stand at the door and knock. Come out of Satan’s world. Stay in continuous contact. Be grateful and thankful. You are my friend if you do what He says.
Perception is reality. Let no one deceive himself. We can have reactions to different truths: Dismiss, Accept, give fair consideration. Use the Bible to differentiate truth and error. Delusion needs something traumatic to bring them out. Beware the leaven: pride, vanity, arrogance, self elevation. Search scriptures daily.
Learn from the examples in the Bible of how to remain strong and courageous. Don’t allow Satan to get us off mark and play on our weaknesses. Remember God can work with small numbers like Gideon’s army.
If we qualify now we will have judgment responsibilities in the future. There is no just judgment on earth today. In righteousness you shall judge. God teaches us good judgment and discernment. If we would judge ourselves we wouldn’t need judging.
