In “Lamp in a Corner,” it has been my desire to talk about God’s blessings and the joy we find in the salvation that He has provided for us. I hope that most of my posts show that. I would be missing the mark, however, if I didn’t also talk about the consequences that result when we turn our backs on God and go our own sinful way.
There is nothing - good or bad that we do, say, think, or feel - that God doesn’t know about. We can’t hide anything from Him.
For the word of
God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature
hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and
open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
(Hebrews 3:12-13 NKJV) *
I want to tell you about God’s love, and to let you know that there is absolute truth. It would not be loving, however, to shrink from warning about the judgement to come. It would be like watching someone step out in front of an oncoming bus without trying to warn them to step back. That is the truth, and when we speak the truth, we speak the nature of Christ.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John14: 17 NKJV) * To know the truth is to know Jesus for he also said, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8: 31-32 NKJV) *
The truth is that God loves you, and He has provided a way for you to escape the coming judgement. Paul and Silas told their jailer, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved …” (Acts 16:31 NKJV) *
Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. If you die in your sins you will stand before Him in the judgement of the lost. Every wrong thing you have ever done will be made public and charged against you; and you will be condemned.
Repent, and turn away from the temptations of this world. Believe in Jesus Christ today. Become part of Him, and invite Him to live in you. Know all the fulness of God in you. Know for certain that all the wrong you have done has been forgiven, because He loves you.
