Being a part of
society it almost seems impossible to keep from sinning- to not partake of the
sins all around us. Being told to come
out of that which is sinful is truth. Sin is appalling not something to be
cherished and fought for, not something to be nurtured and loved. Sin separates
us from God.
Come out of anything
that causes us to partake of sin, can we do that? And when we come away from
sin where are we going to? We go to Christ! Christ alone can keep us from
sin. We have to separate ourselves form
sin, to choose to be separated from sin by the Holy Spirit.
People will be
receive plagues. All the movie makers, story writers can portray the plagues as
fictional, but they are a part of the truth to come.
People suffer for
sinning all the time. Why do we imagine people shouldn't suffer for willfully
sinning? Why? We do comprehend doing
wrong and being punished. Even the most hardened person understands punishing someone for wrong doing. Parents punish their
children for wrong doing. Authority figures punish those they are in authority
over. We punish each other when we feel slighted. Punishment doesn't have to be
severe, it can be as simple as giving someone the silent treatment. The
punishment for willfully sinning, choosing to serve sin, choosing to divorce
yourself from God, from love, from salvation is going to be awful. It's
supposed to be awful, it's supposed to get people to comprehend they are making
the wrong choice. The truth understood is supposed to wake people up to their
predicament. The old hell fire and damnation is truth, but it must be coupled
with the LOVE of God! Once the plagues
arrive it's TOO LATE. We have to get out before the plagues fall. We can't wait
for them to hit to believe. We can't feel a taste of the wrath of God and then
decide to have faith, it'll be too late by then!
How many people
change when circumstances aren't in their favor, but would never consider
changing when things are going the way they want them too?
God doesn't play
that kind of game. Evil plays that kind
of game.
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and
that ye receive not of her plagues.
More on this
tomorrow by the grace of GOD, through the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ!
Amen.
