Too Simple to Obey?

Too simple to obey? Believe & Be Baptized… Period. Yet today as in generations past, we package it with human legislation as to govern the heart of men. Enough! The tongue will deceive, but the heart will bear witness of that which one truly believes! Christ only always, should be our battle cry when in the Spiritual War! As Spiritual Warriors for our Lord and Savior, we must never forget the LOVE of Christ. We battle the evil in the war, while loving every human being we encounter. If this is not your mantra, then friend, you serve a different lord. For HE gave HIS life’s blood for the least of these, HE carried our names from the depths of Hell to the Throne Room of Almighty GOD. Upon our belief and baptism, those names are then written into the Lamb’s Book of LIFE! Regardless of Color, Creed, Ethnic Background or Political Affiliation, CHRIST Died, was buried and rose again to pave the way for ALL that would believe on Him.

We cannot legislate the hearts of men, we cannot fit them into a religious mold conjured by a group of Theological Academic’s. Upon salvation, each man alone must work out his faith in fear and trembling. Then out of the surrendered and yielded heart, true Love and Obedience will prosper and grow. For Christ nor the Father can be packaged into a nice neat box, nor then can the servants called to HIM be. Their Fruit shall bear witness to the One that lives within them, and His Joy and His Spirit shall be a light to the world around them – bearing witness unto HIMSELF!!!! Children are a reflection of their parents – so it is with the GODLY! We are a reflection of our Father, His character attributes will shine from our hearts – and that my friends is the true witness of the elect! Words from the mouth that do not match with the actions of the heart, should spawn Prayer and Fear in the eyes of the observer. God’s wisdom and Christ’s Love should prevail, approach and speak the truth in Love. If restoration is not possible upon following Biblical mandates to restore the brother or sister, then separation maybe required, however; the Love and Prayer must continue unceasingly.

Matthew 7:13 & 14; Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
