Comment: This
morning I was ready to deliver a different challenge to meditate on the Living
God. However; based on current events I have changed my mind. We are all called
of God to “Run the Race”, some Bible scholars preach or teach daily the need
for every believer to fix their eyes on Jesus. He alone is the Author of
personal faith in God. Yes, He obeyed the laws of the land and fulfilled the
Law given to Moses, His Faith was in God, not the nation or the religion. We
need to notice something in this thought that is very important for all of us.
Jesus is the originator and the perfecter of FAITH, why then would we want to
focus our faith on a religion or a nation as many of us do today in Christendom?
God has called us (you and me) to run this same “race” that Jesus ran. Not only
did Jesus run the race that was sat before Him, but there are many witnesses,
like a cloud in the sky of people who have done the same. Hebrews 12:1-2. Are
you in that cloud today?
Devotional: The days in which we live are EVIL, this is
not a new message or thought, yet somehow it is a message that does not
penetrate anyone’s mind these days. We are a nation of apostate Christians, we
are living in times of ‘stress’. Christian men love themselves and money more
than God. They are proud boasters, blasphemers. They are rude and reject parental
authority, they are unthankful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, they are full
of slander, without self-control and brutal. They are traitors of Christ faith,
headstrong, haughty, loving the pleasures of the world rather than loving God
who created them.
If
the apostle Paul under the guidance of the Holy Spirit were talking about the
unbelieving world, this would be a matter we saints might understand. But, Paul is talking about those who profess
to be saved by grace. If you do not know this already, I am referring to 2
Timothy 3:1-9, now notice verse 5 – having the form of godliness but DENYING
its power. And from such people TURN AWAY! I will leave you to read the
remaining four verses while I comment.
The
destiny of man, at its very best is TEMPORAL, while man would like to think
that he or she is improving by always learning. Without personal faith, they are
NEVER able to come to the knowledge of the TRUTH. Every generation seeks to re-invent
truth, then when invented they spread their cancerous lies into households,
captivating people already loaded down with besetting sins and lustful passions.
We
live in times of men with corrupt minds, they are disapproved by God concerning
FAITH because they are temporal in projecting truth that they fail to believe themselves
and their progress fails. Set your mind on things (Spirituality) above, not on
things (carnality) of the earth, see Colossians 3:1-11.
