The building blocks of a true Christian: One who is known by God. Perhaps one who is called. Many are called and few are chosen.
Matthew 22:14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
I was watching an interview with Barry Gibbs from the Bee Gees. As many people will know he lost three brothers. Now I grew up at a time when there was a music celebration. I had a passion for music as people do. I wanted to learn to play various instruments and I did. Some things just came naturally. I had passion and I gained experience and I had a hunger to learn and and even to write songs and I did it. I did have little bit of spurts of some sort of success in those things of the world of excitement. But in the end you hope that you create something that's going to last and it's going to have a positive effect. Sometimes you write nonsense songs. Sometimes you write songs that have a spiritual meaning especially if they're about the Messiah. And it's incredible that what we want, what we desire is not many times what the true and living God would want our path to be. We see success in those things that be it of the world. But the word of God says be in the world but not of the world. 1 John 2:15 -17 It tells us how to live and even how to worship. But people get so caught up in what is called worldliness that they completely miss the mark. See the world loves its own. The world or better put men of the world despised and rejected the true Messiah. And everything in the world is geared to suck you into the world. It’s theology being a spiderweb of subliminal advertising for example people trying to sell you something is off the richter scale. Even people knowing what true authentic Christianity really is. That Christianity was persecuted and was gone underground. There's probably remnants of it around the world throughout the generations. And people would argue that are true Christians why even get into that. They would even blame Satan for even discussing it. It's important because it is the authentic way. If there's anything called Christianity in the Life to come will it be the Christianity we have on Earth today? I think it will be what is called holy unlike what people perceive to be Christianity. You can't be holy if you don't obey the gospel. It's not easy to be holy even after you are a born again true authentic Christian. What I mean in true authenticness of being born again is that you are truly born again. Even then it's not easy unless your life is immersed in that life and not one being subject to a work culture that is opposed and the enemy of that life. See if you are retired you could live out your faith in Christ as a born again Christian much easier. Then you could make the choices where to be or not. Some people are lucky enough that they have an edge. Whether it came by luck, coincidence or by the guidance of the Holy ghost they would/should know of course.
You see even true Christians get the world sucked into them. They can deny it all they like but it's true. Many of them hold on and grasp on to the prosperity Gospel because they have been fed that. John 2:16 You see it says in the gospel that once you submit yourself all these other things will be added on to you. What things? The things you would require to live and hopefully to fulfill the will of God. But your mind and your dedication should be to live for the gospel and for his purpose and not your own. But you might have a surrounding that are people of the world and you're immediate family including those friends and your past life might now be your enemies. And you know what's odd that Christ told us so. He said he came to divide and not to bring peace. Luke 12:51-53 But he also said blessed are the peacemakers for they shall inherit the earth.
Now when we talk about reprobates we don't talk about them with a condemnation to condemn them. We would hope they come to Salvation. I know the Lord is merciful but it's his decision. (Salvation is of the lord) The word of God is a living word. And some people no matter what you do to reach them that are truly deceived and lost are rebellious and worldly. 2 corinthians 4:4 When you try to save their soul many of them or specific ones rebel because in their heart they have evil. Yet they perceive themselves to be what is called good. Jesus said there is not even one.
How many people that they've been locked down with these lockdowns when they're lifted go sit at some outdoor cafe or at some picnic table and talk about the gospel and about really contemplating on living that life. I'm sure there are tads/spurts of them but they are scattered and few. So even with people that take interest in the word of God why would this be so? Because the world around you sucks you into its purposes. It’s own ideology. You have to give your life to Christ. Do his will and not your own. Your way more often than not will not be the way at all. It's not easy but you have to meditate on God's word. But that's not all of it. You have to really do it. You have to truly believe the truth.
Camel going through the eye of a needle
Quote (Its in the Bible)
The term "eye of a needle" is used as a metaphor for a very narrow opening. It occurs several times throughout the Talmud. The New Testament quotes Jesus as saying that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".
So is everyone getting in? Universal salvation is the LIE of the devil. Absolutely not. And when we say serving two “Masters” that's exactly what people have come to do. The reason being is because they can't let go of the things that are a waste of time and many refuse with vengeance to see. Many are rebellious and they love the sinful world so much that they grasp on to it and it's going to condemn them for eternity.
John 15:5
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
King James Version (KJV)
Now why I reasoned in such a way or why I explain this in that way it's because there are people who think that they are believers but they have been sold, manipulated and conformed to false Christianity to what is called counterfeit Christianity and they are not Christians even though they think they are. At the same time there were people throughout the generations that were true Christians, did the will of God and we're not deceived and bore their cross. They walked the narrow road and God knew them and loved them. It is easier for an elephant or a camel to go through the eye of a needle then such people to reason that they are Christians. There has to be a commitment to the truth that the world rejects. Such people are so off the eye of the needle that their brains deceive their hearts. The Bible says that many people are destroyed for the lack of understanding. The lack of knowledge. And there is faulty scholarship. When your foundation is rotten the rest of the building will be built on unstable ground. True authentic Christianity was built on Jewish ground. God gave us Jewish prophets. The Messiah was Jewish on Earth and he was a Jewish Rabbi. Since the day that he said it is finished the evil one had much time to take people off that path. You need to have an interest in the word of God and you need to wake up and see what you refuse to see because many people are walking blind and they are dead already. Teaching your children lies will never be the truth. Refusing to see is sin whether you believe it or not. Many people refuse to stand up and be counted or to stand up for the things that be of God. Abortion is murder and will lead to damnation. Teaching people another Jesus other than the one described in the King James Bible is not right. Jesus is the light of the world. He was born with the name Yeshua and his mother might have called him Emmanuel. His mother probably didn't call him Joshua but she might have had at times. He was the perfect Lamb of God. He didn't bow down and pray to idols nor serve them. But many people do and attribute that to the Messiah. Spiritual fornication is everywhere and if that's what you are telling people is okay you are blind, death and dumb. You are on the way to hell if that's what you are a proponent of.
Here is what God will do with those deceived unrepentant reprobates
Luke 12:46. “The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.”
Now read this…
2 Thessalonians 2:10
King James Version
“10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”
I've heard other brothers say that smoking cigarettes will send you the hell. That's not really in the word of God. Really? Romans 12:1 Did you know the word of God tells us to keep the temple holy and you were bought with a price so if you contaminate what God gave you then yes it will send you to hell. Second hand smoke causes cancer and many women die of breast cancer. People can rely on chemotherapy and that is one thing. You need Jesus! But people want to see miracles but they refuse to submit to the gospel and to the truth. It appears it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle then for such people to even ever see. You know they say they love their sin and they are addicted to their sin. I know people in my circle of family that are addicted to video games like a drug. This is a waste of time and nonsense. And yet their parents are supportive of such filth. Why? Because such parents are lost and not submitted to any true gospel or to any true and authentic Christianity if they are to claim to be believers at all. They suck the world and they suck it in and they are mastered by it. Yet the conundrum is that there are people that are awake and know what such filth creates. You know Jesus said repent or perish. In Christianity today many are told they don't have to repent and all they have to do is believe which is the LIE out of the pits of hell. John 8:32 states
Bless disciple Robert for he has a warning here
What foundation are you building upon
