WHO SHALL ASCEND INTO THE HILL OF THE LORD?
BLESSED AND BELOVED:
GOD IS REMINDING US THIS DAY, IN THE BOOK OF PSALM 24:-3-5 “WHO SHALL ASCEND INTO THE HILL OF THE LORD? OR WHO SHALL STAND IN HIS HOLY PLACE? HE THAT HAS A CLEAN HANDS, AND A PURE HEART; WHO HAS NOT LIFTED UP HIS SOUL UNTO VANITY (THE WORLD) NOR SWORN DECEITFULLY. HE SHALL RECEIVE THE BLESSING FROM THE LORD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM THE GOD OF HIS SALVATION.”
THE GENERATION OF THEM THAT SEEK THE LORD ARE THE GENERATION THAT ABIDES WITH HIS COMMANDMENTS.
ISAIAH 1:-16 “WASH YOURSELF, MAKE YOURSELF CLEAN; REMOVE THE EVIL OF YOUR DEEDS FROM MY SIGHT. CEASE TO DO EVIL.”
THE STANDARD OF HIS JUDGEMENT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED OR LOWERED FOR ANY REASON.
THE GRACE TO START THIS RACE TO SALVATION. AND THE STRENGTH TO CONTINUE AND THE POWER TO FINISH IT HATH BEEN GIVEN UNTO US THROUGH CHRIST OUR SAVIOR.
BUT THE EFFORT AND DETERMINATION TO START THE RACE IS SOLELY OUR INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
WHO ARE THE PURE IN HEART? THOSE THAT HAD THEIR HEARTS PURIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST; THEY THAT OCCUPIED NOT THEIR HEARTS AND SOULS WITH WORLDLY THINGS.
THOSE THAT ARE TRUTHFUL AND READY TO FORGIVE OTHERS.
THOSE ARE THE PURE IN HEART.
NO ONE CAN SEE GOD, OR INHERIT HIS KINGDOM WITHOUT HAVING HIS ENTIRE BODY WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF CHRIST JESUS.
THE CLEAN HANDS ARE THE HANDS THAT CEASED TO SHED THE BLOOD OF ANYONE, BY REASON OF ABORTION OR ANY OTHER MEANS.
IF WE TRULY LOVE CHRIST, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO CONFESS OUR SINS AND REPENT , THAT HE MAY FORGIVE US AND CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. (1 JOHN 1:-9)
NOW: MAY THE GOD OF PEACE HIMSELF SANCTIFY US COMPLETELY, AND MAY OUR WHOLE SPIRITS AND SOULS BE KEPT BLAMELESS AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS.
AMEN.
