Which is only assured through CHRIST JESUS, our LORD *GOD*, and SAVIOUR! ONLY through CHRIST JESUS can the soul find LIFE eternal, and ONLY through allegiance to HIS WILL, HIS WAY IS there safe passage through the valley of the shadow of death, which is worse than a carefully schemed mine field of trips, and traps, that the enemy might rob as many souls as is feasible, from a PROMISED eternity of PEACE, and JOY with THE LORD *GOD*, in HIS KINGDOM...
The soul IS that which matters, because after our time in this realm, that is all left of us, and which is the TRUTH of whom, and what we are! The soul IS the being *GOD* CREATED in HIS image, and IS welcome to spend eternity with HIM, and abundantly so! It is SO difficult for us to understand HOW this time is imperative to the soul, and WHAT we should do to make sure it is safe forever, and forever; FREE from the evil wickedness which intends to take many down to eternal suffering, and anguish!!!
THE LORD'S GRACE, and MERCY ARE for anyone who will turn to HIM, and have FAITH in HIM, yet there is also, FAITHFULNESS, which is a humbled, and obedient state of existence, modeled after CHRIST JESUS, and HIS instructions! It IS a PARTNERSHIP, and we DO have responsibility to said partnership in diverse ways!!!
I did not know my soul was endangered by this realm UNTIL *GOD* rescued me from the falsehood, and deception of this plane! I really did not know! It is frightening in retrospect as I think about how I was living contrary to all which protects my soul from the enemy(ies) of this time! Yes, I shudder, and I am shocked that NO ONE cared enough for me to learn, and understand the DIRE dangers involved! Stealthily the enemy HAS shrouded THE TRUTH from TOO many, and HAS sent forth many deceivers to confuse it, as well as to tickle the ears, and fancies of humanity! We OUGHT to WANT to KNOW THE TRUTH, THAT we have every honest opportunity TO make decisions based upon the safety of the soul. It is astounding that SO much of THE TRUTH is laid wayside in favour of this world, to the detriment of each person's soul...
It IS crucial for EVERYONE to understand that the fate of the soul, HAS much to do with our allegiances, and decisions! IF we claim allegiance to THE LORD, but live against HIS WILL, where is the sincerity? IF we SAY we are OF CHRIST JESUS, but exist in the flesh, we are NOT being honest to HIM, nor to ourselves! ANYONE who is of CHRIST is dead to the world, and this is important BECAUSE being dead to the world brings LIFE to the soul, the spirit! LIFE in the spirit is NOT concerned with the flesh, other than necessity, for it is NOT flesh, and this is NOT it's home! While the spirit, the soul IS part of the human, it surpasses the flesh, and goes on to eternity, whether that be WITH THE LORD *GOD*, or cast into the pit!!!
WHY, since I am GIVEN the choice to exist IN THE KINGDOM, or not, would I choose to not? I mean really! But it takes KNOWLEDGE to understand the difference, and eternal consequences of our choices, and decisions, which far too many are lacking, thanks to the enemy, and those who work TRUTH to appease the masses, and all others who have agendas of their own, working against *GOD* and HIS people, be that knowingly or not! THE KINGDOM IS the answer to ALL we feel we lack; NOTHING in this world can satisfy us, as we learn in chasing, and obtaining, but still sensing an emptiness! What *GOD* HAS in store for those who arrive to the gates of THE KINGDOM far exceeds our imagination, and expectations, and we WILL surely, ENJOY!!!
*GOD* DOES the work IN those who CHOOSE to ALLOW HIM in their hearts! We CANNOT do it on our own, but for sure, HE WON'T work in those who have denied HIM, cast HIM aside for the world, and so forth! Thus, to say that we don't have a part in this is craziness, because by free will, we HAVE been offered the choice of LIFE, or of death eternal, AND whatever we choose, accordingly, we WILL serve!!!
IF I claim CHRIST JESUS as my LORD, and SAVIOUR, but exist as if I am of the world, then my heart, and actions evidence such! IF I say I am of HIM, and then, CONSCIOUSLY do what is against HIM, and HIS WILL, I am a liar! GRACE PRODUCES GRACE; LOVE PRODUCES LOVE; MERCY PRODUCES MERCY; HOLINESS PRODUCES HOLINESS, and ALL which is OF *GOD* IS RIGHT, JUST, and GOOD, VOID of anything which works against HIM!!!
We WILL make mistakes, and we WILL sin, but we TRAIN IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, conscientiously, WHILE PRAYING for HIS assistance(s), and RELYING ON HIM to safeguard us through the dangers of this realm! We study, we learn, we apply to our existence HIS WILL, and HIS WAYS, and ARE kept busy IN HIM, enough to resist, endure, and persevere! However, when we consciously sin, and repeat sin on purpose FOR the satiation of the flesh, we are endangering ourselves FAR more than we might think! HE FORGIVES THE REPENTANT, which means those who are TRULY sorrowful for their errs, NOT those who, on purpose, repeat their errs in order to appease the flesh!!!
JESUS says, "If you LOVE ME, you will keep MY COMMANDMENTS", and this entails a LOT, which begins, and ends WITH LOVE FOR HIM, which opens UP to humility, obedience, FAITH, FAITHFULNESS, and bearing fruit of THE HOLY SPIRIT; in other words, our allegiance WITH HIM IS EVIDENT in ALL we think, say, and do, FOR HIS GLORY, and the sake of our souls!!!
HE does NOT wish that anyone choose wrongly, thus HIS extensive PLAN to rescue us from the enemy, and ourselves, but it is NOT one-sided; we HAVE our part in said PLAN, and a choice to make FOR the soul!!!
CHOOSE LIFE is far more than a slogan, or a proclamation; it IS a way of existence NOW, which leads to forever! The body will return to the dust from whence it came, but the soul will return to it's CREATOR, THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY for a final determination of it's destiny! Those IN CHRIST JESUS, are citizens of HEAVEN journeying this Earth, while a formidable enemy IS hell-bent on stealing what belongs to *GOD*, our souls! ONLY WITH *GOD*, in TRUTH, and SPIRIT, can we manage this time, so let us gain the knowledge necessary!!!
