THE ROAD MAP TO ETERNITY WITH CHRIST ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE
CHRIST DEARLY BELOVED:
THE ROAD MAP TO ETERNITY WITH CHRIST ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE, PSALM, 24;-3-5; TELLS OF HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES IN CONFORMITY WITH GOD.
WE ARE TO CAREFULLY EXAMINE THOSE VERSES THOROUGHLY AND KEEP OURSELVES IN LINE WITH THE DIRECTIVES. VERSE THREE SAYS, “WHO SHALL ASCEND TO THE HILL OF THE LORD? OR WHO SHALL STAND IN HIS HOLY PLACE?
WE ALL WANT TO ASCEND TO THE HILL OF THE LORD AND STAND IN HIS HOLY PLACE. RIGHT? IF SO, WE MUST NOT IGNORE THE REQUIREMENTS.
VERSE FOUR SAYS, “HE THAT HAS CLEAN HANDS AND A PURE HEART, WHO HAD NOT LIFTED UP HIS SOUL UNTO VANITY, NOR SWORN DECEITFULLY.”
LET US RE-EXAMINE OURSELVES OVER AND OVER, AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS WHERE NECESSARY.
IF CHRIST COMES TODAY, ARE WE REALLY SURE OF BEING AMONG THE CHOSEN?
WE ARE TO LEARN FROM “THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS.”
(MATTHEW, 25:-1-13) THE WORD “CLEAN HANDS,” IS WELL EXPLAINED IN THE BOOK OF PSALM 1:-1-6: WHILE A PURE HEART IS WELL ILLUSTRATED IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW, 5:-23-24.
WHO ARE THE PURE-HEARTED? THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WASHED WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND REMAIN LOYAL AND OBEDIENT TO THE COURSE OF THEIR DISCIPLESHIP AND OCCUPIED NOT THEIR HEARTS WITH GRUDGES AND READY TO FORGIVE WHEN VIOLATED.
THESE ARE THE PURE-HEARTED AND THE TRUE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST THAT WILL REIGN WITH HIM IN HIS KINGDOM.
IN CONCLUSION: “MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH EVERYONE AND TO BE HOLY; WITHOUT HOLINESS NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD. (HEBREWS, 12:-14)
WE ARE NOT HAVING RIGHTEOUSNESS OF OUR OWN THAT COMES FROM THE LAW, BUT THAT WHICH COMES THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD THAT DEPENDS ON FAITH. (PHILIPPIANS, 3:-9)
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF THE GOSPEL.
(PHILIPPIANS, 1:-27)
