Sin and Eternity!


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.
