Matthew 12:36-37
Yeshua tells us this
36)"But I say to you that for every IDLE word men may speak, they will give account of it to the day of judgement
37)"For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
If we take the time to really meditate and absorb the words being spoken by our Messiah in these verses, than we as the body of Messiah, we as those who claim to be believers have to really check themselves on if their walk is truly pleasing to YAH. (I'm talking to myself as well as anyone else)
I see so many who are so quick to declare changes in YAH's word, who with ease make declarations of what is relevant and what isn't.
I see more focus on trying to prove what we don't have to do, than what we should be doing to please our Father in Heaven.
If Yeshua tells us that we are not only going to be held accountable for every idle word, but will be justified or condemned by our words, shouldn't we be more focused on trying to do everything we can to be without spot and blemish in His eyes as the scriptures says He is returning for?
There is an air among the body that says, "Since Yeshua paid the price, we don't have to try anymore"
Yet I would be more inclined to think that we are held at a greater level of accountability because He took the punishment for us.
For when it all comes to a head, and we are standing before YAH, none of the people, family, church, pastor, anyone will be their to hold our hand or have our back.
We will stand alone before YAH to give an account for our lives. And even if we make it to heaven, do we want to risk losing any of our reward? As Paul says, run the race, go for the prize of the crowns of life. (Paraphrasing)
Do we want to be empty handed before the One who sacrificed Himself for us?
Hebrews10:31 IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING YAH!
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are MANY who go in by it.
"Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are FEW who find it.
Here Yeshua tells us quite plainly, that the road to eternal life is no easy road and few will find it. Yet in the church, according to the teachings of it. It's a piece of cake.
Yeshua shows us that we have to be in the fullness of Him, in all of the Word of YAH.
1 Peter 4:18 NOW, "IF THE RIGHTEOUS ONE IS SCARCELY SAVED, WHERE WILL THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER APPEAR?"
RIGHTEOUS
dikaios
dik'-ah-yos
equitable
(in character or act); by implication innocent, holy,(absolutely or relatively): - just, meet, right (-eous).
So we have here, RIGHTEOUS, is innocent, holy. So scripture is telling us that those who are innocent and holy is scarcely saved.
Then what happens to those who add and take away from YAH's word?
