"My thoughts are not your thoughts". As it is written finish the good fight. Apostle Paul finished the good fight. Probably all of the apostles finished the good fight. Many of them martyrs of Jesus ( Emmanuel) did not love their own lives to the death. We are particularly talking about true biblical Christians. We are challenging you being your brothers in Christ. Perhaps sisters too. But most likely most of you will claim grace through faith. This is massively misunderstood. Because you can become arrogant, prideful and God humbles the proud. It is written God humbles the proud. Just because we're not under the old Testament but were under the new Testament and your saved by grace through faith and not by works it doesn't diminished the Authority of the great King Jesus the Messiah. He is the only mediator between God & men. And this is not to be smarter than the brothers and sisters in Christ. This is a warning. Just as other brother Christians as I've noticed in Christ some particularly were preachers in organized biblical Christianity do take the time to warn people of the coming judgement. And this is not to make you feel guilty per say or to throw accusations. On the day of judgement there's going to be weeping to put it bluntly. Many people fall away and go back into the world. Some people go back to their old ways and their old life which is not the way at all. There are the weakest links that are always present. And I know when you are weak you are strong. But the Bible also says be strong in the Lord. Faith is stressed over and over again.
Once you are saved it doesn't give you the right to abused grace for it keep rebounding. And we have to remember God was merciful with us when we were lost and deceived. So at times your going to be out there and you're going to want to be motivated to rebuke everything that moves. You going to have to pick and choose when not to. Just because we're not under the law doesn't mean that things we highly esteem still they be an abomination onto God. God sees them as foolishness. We like to make excuses how they are useful and even turned them into gifts. And we having obscure vision because some people live very long lives and never do real evil in terms of what you would see in the news. Some of these people have families, have homes and have worked all their lives to feed their loved ones. But that doesn't mean they are going to be saved. The wages of sin is death and there is only one narrow door. Its not broad at all. So as true Christians that are born again (John 3:3) we have certain authorities as Christians. But we have to be careful how we apply them.
I myself have to remind myself every now and then to humble myself. God resist the proud. And I want to warn you because in the day of judgement when people are castaway that you thought might have been saved if this is the case at all could you imagine the excuses with the multitudes of preachers, teachers and Christians. I am not ashamed of the gospel and neither should you be. But we don't want people falling away. You see there's a tendency to think and even act upon well once I'm saved I'm cealed. You still might sin even apostle Paul had this problem in his flesh. The spirit Wars against the flesh. If in fact you are a new creature in Christ and God knows your heart what will it benefits you to go back to your enslavement? You have been set free. Its God who did it. Finalize the closing as it is written Colossians 2:9
"9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." KJV (in Him!)
In my after notes what did Christ tell the religious elite in his day? That they left certain things UN done such as mercy, faithfulness and justice. But they applied first the wrong method. All Authority is giving to him by his father. We all have testimonies about our lives or our former lives when we were lost and these are valuable. But we can't paint everyone that ever lived that was a Christian even living today with the same brush. Christ said you can do nothing without me. You can't even save yourself. Its by his blood and his doing. You/we have to seek His righteousness as all true Christians have to. Your works are important and there is that parable about hiring labors. But it has to come natural because it is true it is the Holy Ghost that convicts. Have a good day.
