Tuesday: Religion of the Heart — 9 Comments

  1. its true that God will judge everybody individually even the faith of Moses could not save his children, the faith of Noah could not save a nation so we should struggle to keep our hearts close to God individually

  2. In both the Old and New Testament the chosen people of God, and ultimately those who choose Him are referred to as the Lord’s partner in marriage (Hosea 2:19). Jehovah’s main charge against the group which throughout time has taken His name is unfaithfulness to the marriage vow (Isaiah 4:1; Ezekiel 16:30).

    Over and over both literal and spiritual Israel have been caught in adultery or fornication by a jealous God (Jeremiah 3:6-10; Revelation 14:8). The Lord had the prophet Hosea live out the experience to express in human terms divine hurt; but even that seem to some unreal or of little import (Hosea 1-4).

    Ultimately Jehovah will get His wish. Said the apostle Paul, “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 11:2-3).

    Still some doubt the church will be marked by purity and simplicity someday, especially when the majority seem to track the hottest trend and chase the latest fad (Ephesians 5:26-27). According to scripture a remnant will be redeemed (Matthew 22:14).

    The people have been so accustomed to sinning it is hard to imagine otherwise (Jeremiah 13:23). Nonetheless the faithful may trust the word of the Lord (Jude 1:24) and be numbered among those who are called chaste, being separate and separated from the harlotry of Babylon (Revelation 14:3-5).

    To be found faultless each will have to take the course of the five wise virgins (Matthew 25:4-9). The faithful allow the Holy Spirit to sanctify the heart by the word of God and develop a godly character (oil) which is not transferrable between individuals. They are declared fit for the bridegroom (Matthew 25:10) and preserved a place in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:1-3).

  3. In the past, the sin made by other affected others, even, their entire generation...Thank God for stating that, a soul that sineth, he shall die.. This also means that, my righteousness can never cover other people..salvation is personal. Have mercy on us, Oh Lord.

  4. We are not better than isrieites,, we need to watch our impunities, or lather we perish like many did in the wildernes

  5. We need to preach this now more than ever, at the end of the day its not which church you went to or the standing of your church in the society. The hour is coming and now is when the true worshipers shall worship the father in spirit and in truth for the father seeketh such.

  6. The following quote also speaks volumes with respect to how much we really need to INDIVIDUALLY seek after the way of life:

    “In the struggle for eternal life, we cannot lean upon another. The bread of life must be eaten by each one. Individually we must partake of it, that soul, body, and mind may be revived and strengthened by its transforming power.” TM 385

  7. God created each and every one in His own image and as individuals. So we are individuals together in the the church; the different parts of one body talked about in the Bible. And because of that, the LORD deals with us individually according to our character or gifts He has bestowed upon us.The strength of the church is defined by individual characters, the reason why God requires us to 'carry our crosses' to Him where He promises redemption. The glory is the LORD's.
