Sin and
Eternity!
JESUS said, “If
I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no
excuse for their sin. He who hates Me
hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the Works that no one else
did, they would have no sin, but now they have seen and also hated both Me and
My Father. But this happened that the Word might be fulfilled which is written
in their Law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’” John 15:22-25 NKJV.
JESUS came
to the Jewish people who GOD had chosen to be His representatives to the
nations, but in their religious pride they had lost their light and saltiness.
So they were not able to recognize their Messiah and rejected Him as prophesied
by David three times, Psalms 35:19, 69:4, 109:3-5.
The Psalmist
says, “O LORD, how great are Your Works! Your thoughts are very deep. A
senseless man does not know, nor does a fool understand this. When the wicked
spring up like grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that
they may be destroyed forever.” Psalm 92:5-7 NKJV, forever is eternity.
The Jewish
nation was to show and teach the nations of the world about GOD, but they
continually rebelled against Him and His Law or became proud and religious.
Since JESUS came to bring salvation to the world the Church is supposed to show
and disciple the nations of the world to GOD. But, the Church has done the
same, man have rebelled against GOD’s Will and taken up the ways of the world
or have become proud and religious driving away the world.
Before JESUS
came into the world as the Son of Man–the Son of GOD people did not know they
were sinners, that they had missed GOD’s mark for how humanity was to live.
Israel before CHRIST was supposed to show the world who GOD was and how they
were to live before Him. The Church since CHRIST is supposed to show the world
who GOD is and disciple it to His Will.
We have
failed just as Israel did and the world for the most part is going to eternal
damnation!
JESUS said, “Broad
is the way that leads to destruction and there are many who take it, but narrow
is the way to life and there are few who find it.” Does that mean we are not responsible
to reveal GOD and His Salvation to the lost? No! It means we must all yield our
life to do His Will and to tell everyone we can of His Love and Salvation for
them.
