How can it be that one man can be uncomfortable in the presence of the prayerful, and spiritual here on earth, and still attain heaven? How can it be that heaven will be within the unforgiving? How can light emanate from darkness?
When a person professes his way, disallowing all things unto himself; how can he be filled with the spirit of Christ, the ‘light of the world?’ If he can not and will not bask in the loveliness of the spirit of the Lord, ‘His word’, and ‘His light’ then how can the light of Christ be reflected in the unbeliever?
Whether Christ conquers darkness or defeats death is determined by the call of the sinful man! The sinful, being you and I! Christ presence in the world was such, so that darkness, and death could be defeated, and eternal life be achieved through ‘Him, and Him alone. For the world is filled with ‘darkness’. Darkness being sin, and disobedience to God, and refusal of His love.
Therefore it is only through the Son of God that the darkness can be extinguished! Therefore if Christ’s help is not called upon to reveal and release the evil within the world, then the darkness remains. Remaining in darkness, remaining in sin, is denial of eternal life.
The experience of the ‘Spirit of Jesus Christ’ is real, and can not be without a call to him, and a invitation into oneself. “Save me Jesus” “Help me Jesus ” Forgive me Jesus” ! These words, and any that put Christ before all things, and our very selves invites Christ, and saves us from ourselves!
“Rejection of the world,” to attain “acceptance into the Kingdom of Heaven” are the choices! Without Christ the Kingdom of Heaven can not and will not be realized, and experienced!
Book of John: Chapter 9 verses 39-41- Jesus Speaks:
39 Then Jesus said: “I came into this world to divide it, to make the sightless see and the seeing blind.” 40 Some of the Pharisees around him picked this up, saying, ” You are not calling us blind, are you?” 41 To which Jesus replied: ” If you were blind there would be no sin in that ‘But we see,’ you say, and your sin remains.”
Book of : First Epistle of Paul to Timothy: Chapter 1 verses: 12-17 & Chapter 2 verse 5-6
12 “I thank Christ Jesus Our Lord, who has strengthened me, that he has made me his servant and judged me faithful. 13 I was once a blasphemer, a persecutor, a man filled with arrogance; but because I did not know what I was doing in my unbelief, I have been treated mercifully, 14 and the grace of our Lord has been granted me in overflowing measure, along with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 You can depend on this as worthy of full acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I myself am the worst. 16 But on that very account I was dealt with mercifully, so that in me, as an extreme case, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, and that I might become an example to those who would later have faith in him and gain everlasting life. 17 To the King of ages, the immortal, the invisible, the only GOD, be honor and glory forever, and ever! Amen”
Chapter 2 verses 5-6
5 ” And the truth is this:
“God is one. One also is the mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all.” This truth was attested at the fitting time.”
Book of John Chapter 12 verses 25-30 Jesus Speaks:
25 “The man who loves his life loses it, while the man who hates his life in this world preserves it to life eternal. 26 If anyone would serve me, let him follow me; where I am, there will my servant be. If anyone serves me, him the Father will honor. 27 My soul is troubled now, yet what should I say-Father, save me from this hour? But it was for this that I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”
Then a voice came from the sky: ” I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 When the crowd of bystanders heard the voice, they said it was thunder. Others maintained, ” An angel was speaking to him.” 30 Jesus answered, “That voice did not come for my sake, but for yours.” 31 ” Now has judgment come upon this world, now will this world’s prince be driven out, 31 and I -once I am lifted up from the earth-will draw all men to myself.”
