WITHOUT HOLINESS NO MAN SHALL SEE the LORD!
Posted : 28 Aug, 2014 07:23 AM
Brothers,
Holiness and godly life is one of the main doctrines of Christianity and our churches do NOT want to teach that!
But our God Jesus CLEARLY teaches us to be HOLY for God is HOLY!
"Follow peace with all men, and HOLINESS:angel:, without which NO man shall SEE the Lord:"
Does this verse TRULY mean that without HOLINESS in our lives that NO man living a life WITHOUT holiness will SEE the Lord, in that, NO man will be able to ENTER into the Kingdom of God nor RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE when they die or when Jesus returns IF SO BE that they are found to be UNFAITHFUL and WITHOUT HOLINESS when they die or when Jesus comes again?
God said YES!
Matthew 24:12,13, where Jesus is clearly teaching us that in the last days SIN will ABOUND and the LOVE of MANY Christians will grow cold. And then Jesus follows up with a WARNING for all believers to ENDURE unto the END, because it will be that ONLY those true born again/born from God believers who ENDURE unto the END that shall be SAVED and inherit ETERNAL LIFE in the world to COME.
But he that shall ENDURE unto the end (referring to the END being the end of the AGE, when Jesus RETURNS to our planet to execute the WRATH of Almighty God), the SAME shall be saved (speaking of ONLY those FAITHFUL believers who do NOT let their LOVE grow cold and fall back into SIN:devil::angeldevil:, but RATHER it is ONLY those true born again believers who ENDURE unto the END that shall be SAVED and RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE when Jesus comes again AT His SECOND coming)."
Jesus speaks:
"LABOR (or WORK) not for the MEAT which perishes, BUT (but WHAT? BUT rather WORK) for that MEAT which endures UNTO everlasting life, which the Son of man/JESUS SHALL give unto you: for him has God the Father sealed."
John 6:26
Jesus said in John 8:31,32 about us being his disciples IF and ONLY IF we CONTINUE in His WORD/OBEYING Him!
"Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, IF you CONTINUE in my WORD, THEN (or then and ONLY THEN) are you my disciples indeed..
Jesus goes on to preach and teach to us in John 12:46-48.
"I am come a light into the world, that whosoever BELIEVES on me should NOT ABIDE (or continue to live in) in darkness.
47. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48. He that rejects me, and receives NOT my WORDS, has one that JUDGES him: the WORD that I have spoken, the SAME shall JUDGE him in the last day."
In Titus 1:16 we read of believers that profess that they know God, but their WORKS say otherwise. The same is true with some Christians today. They SAY that they are Christians, they SAY that they LOVE God, they SAY the they are SAVED, but their WORKS deny that they serve God.
"They PROFESS that they know God; BUT in WORKS they deny him, being abominable, and DISOBEDIENT, and unto every good work reprobate."
Jesus WARNS us:
"I know you WORKS, and your LABOR, and your patience, and how you can not bear them which are evil: and you hast tried them which SAY they are apostles, and are NOT, and has FOUND them LIARS:"
Remember therefore from where you are FALLEN, and REPENT, and DO the first WORKS; OR ELSE I will come unto you quickly, and will REMOVE your candlestick out of his place, except you REPENT."
Rev 2
Jesus says:
Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and REPENT. If therefore you shall NOT WATCH, I will come on YOU (those Christians who are NOT WATCHING and KEEPING the WORKS of Jesus) as a THIEF, and you shall NOT know what hour I will come upon you.
4. You have a FEW names even in Sardis which have NOT defiled their garments; and THEY (speaking of ONLY those Christians who have NOT DEFILED their garments with SIN) shall walk with me in white: for THEY (again ONLY those Christians who are living WITHOUT SIN when they die or when Jesus comes again) are WORTHY:angel:.
NOTE:
BUT when the RIGHTEOUS (or when the true born again Christian) TURNS AWAY from his RIGHTEOUSNESS, and COMMITS INIQUITY, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All his righteousness that he has done shall NOT be mentioned: IN his TRESPASS that he hath trespassed, and in his SIN that he hath SINNED, IN THEM shall he DIE.
Ezekiel 18:20-32
God says:
"AGAIN, When a RIGHTEOUS man does TURN from his righteousness, and COMMITS INIQUITY, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: (WHY?) BECAUSE you have NOT given him WARNING, he shall die IN his SIN, and his righteousness which he has done shall NOT be remembered; but his blood will I require at YOUR hand.
21. Nevertheless if you WARN the RIGHTEOUS man, that the righteous SIN NOT, and he does NOT SIN, he shall surely LIVE, BECAUSE he is WARNED; also you have delivered your soul."
Jesus says:
"He that is UNJUST:devil:, let him be unjust :devil:still: and he which is filthy:angeldevil:, let him be filthy:angeldevil: still: and he that is righteous:angel:, let him be righteous :angel:still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And, behold, I come quickly (in a moment and in a twinkling of and eye, like a flash of lightning. in other words, NO time to REPENT); and my REWARD is with me, to give every man ACCORDING as his WORK shall be.
Revelation 22:11-15
Yes, COME Lord Jesus! :applause:
Living Before God:
13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts:angeldevil:, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy:angel:, you also be holy :angel:in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, �Be holy, for I am holy:angel:.�
17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one�s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood :applause:of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21 who through Him (JESUS) believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
1 Peter 1
Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God:angel:; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification:angel:: that you should abstain from sexual immorality:devil:; 4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such:boxing:, as we also forewarned you and testified.
7 For God did not call us to uncleanness:devil::angeldevil:, but in holiness:angel:. 8 Therefore he who rejects this :angel:does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.
1 Thessalonians 4
