The Lovers of the Scriptures today are like the lovers of the law in those days. Many lovers of the scriptures but hardly any DOERS of the scriptures.
From the time in the garden to the time Jesus Christ returns there will be those who read the law and the scriptures and understand them and DO them. And there are those who will read the law and the scriptures and NOT DO them. I know now where it comes from. I know now how righteousness is brought about. How can one see the end of righteousness? It is possible, but who has begun in righteousness?
Even from the days of Noah to the day of the return of our Lord, there will be many people who suppose themselves righteous but know nothing about it, loving sin, loving debates and strife, but not having the least bit idea of how to love. Their mouths are like the mouths of vipers and with their tongue they destroy many people.
And it comes from one place, out of the heart, because out of the heart comes the means to defile the person. Out of the very heart. I am sure that JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE! Any substitute, any creature apart from the creator deserves NO GLORY as pertaining to salvation and truth. NOT ONE!! ALL GLORY IS THE LORD'S. And what will judge us but the words of Jesus Christ. The judgement of Jesus Christ is the judgement of the Father, because he only spoke what he was told to speak, and he only did what he was told to do.
If anyone wants to be justified by the scriptures let that person keep all of the scriptures. Keep it from the garden to Revelation, if you have any revelation at all. If you think life is in the scriptures see how the Lord will answer you when you stand before him and he asks you what you have done for him. What will you say? And I am sure many of you with proud looks might boast of your works, but I can only boast of HIS WORKS. I can only boast of what the Lord has done. JESUS CHRIST IS LIFE! HE IS TRUTH! HE IS THE WAY! HE IS THE LORD!! HE IS KING!
The purpose of the scriptures is to point you to Jesus Christ, if you read all day and you don't get to the revelation of Jesus Christ, not just who he is but to how he is, and then be obedient, you will not have found life. What you will have found is vanity, and when you stand before the Lord you will be rejected before the hosts and thrown into the lake of fire with all other unbelievers. Because you should have not only studied, but you should have obeyed them, and not your interpretation of them, but the TRUTH of the scriptures which is clear to those who understand. Which understanding comes from Jesus Christ by the Spirit of God to them that believe his gospel.
HE DIED FOR FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS AS A SACRIFICE TO PACIFY THE ENMITY BETWEEN YOU AND GOD THROUGH SIN, AND HE ROSE, PROVING HE IS LORD AND SHOWING THE RESURRECTION TO COME IN AND TO ANYONE WHO BELIEVES ON HIM AND FOLLOWS HIM. TAKING UP THEIR CROSSES TO FOLLOW HIM TILL HE COME!
Will you be ready? Are you approved?
May Jesus bless you.
