Separated by the truth or united in the lie? (Part 4)
• “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.” (Pro 11:21).
It doesn’t mind how great and strong are the agreements made between the wicked: in the end, all of them will go through a nemesis.
Nonetheless, the seed of the righteous will be delivered. One interesting thing to observe is that the release it is to the seed of the righteous (and not to the righteous). The reason for this is that nobody can be righteous alone and by themselves.
Jesus was clear:
• “In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.” (Joh 15:8).
And the Creator said:
• “… It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (Gen 2:18)
Many people think that this verse has to do with marriage. Nevertheless, if you poring on this carefully, you will see that the main reason for the marriage is to bear children. So much so that the maternity is the instrument of the Eternal to work His savior grace in her (1Timothy 2:15).
It’s not good that the man is alone. Either he needs to honor his father and mother, or he needs to be full of the fruit of the Holy Spirit so that he can be worthy of being honored by his children. That is to say: either he is fruit of the womb of someone, or he has to generate pious seeds (Malachi 2:15).
Nobody can be saved of the sin without having true relationships, namely, personal and intimacy relationship in Christ Jesus. It isn’t a mere partnership, but to be one in Christ (Galatians 3:28; Romans 12:5; 1Cor 12:27; Ephesians 4:11,12).
For you taking in the difference, in a partnership, two people work side by side helping out each other. This can sound good. Nonetheless, the true friendship isn’t to help each other to satisfy his flesh passions, but to help each other to sacrifice his earthly nature (Colossians 3:5).
It isn’t in vain that the cherubim in the ark of alliance was face to face each other (Exodus 25:20) and that Jesus enjoined us to love our enemies (Mat 5:44,45). After all:
• “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary to one another; lest whatever you may will, these things you do.” (Gal 5:17)
So, the truth relationship implies on being enemy of everything that doesn’t appertain to Jesus in the life of the other person. We need patience, making use the Sword of the Holy Spirit to hurt the corrupted self of the person (so that Jesus can live in them) (recall Jeremiah 48:10) and we need humbleness to accept this Sword reduce us to nothing so that Jesus can be everything in us (John 3:30; see 1Cor 15:28).
Finally, have a good day seeking out to be united in the Truth. Nevertheless, if this isn’t feasible, have courage to break up in name of the Truth:
• “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house, nor speak a greeting to him. For he who speaks a greeting to him is partaker of his evil deeds.” (2John 10,11).
• “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.” (Pro 11:21).
