Those days are gone now!
The rules have changed, and the ‘presentation’ of many have deteriorated!
Where did it all begin?
Gods contribution to this, is ‘Himself” He has rules! Now broken rules!
In other words, even if you can look across your life and ‘feel’ you have been ‘perfect’ and ‘obedient’ there is still ‘sin’.
He talks about the ‘heart’ from the beginning of ‘time’ : Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, (there the disobedience, and original sin) The onset of “ME” originated!
We must put God First! When He is First, the Heart takes on a new “presentation of oneself!
Look to Him in all things; then when the ‘light of Christ , is invited, embraced and loved the heart will be made full!
He expounds on this; and God’s delights to ‘instruct His children’! His children are you and I. Through the salvation and welcoming of His Son we are made whole.
Book of Revelation: Chapter 3 verses 1-6 Jesus Speaks:
1)” To the presiding spirit of the church in Sardis write this:
“‘ The One who holds the seven spirits of God, the seven stars, has this to say: I know your conduct; I know the reputation you have of being alive, when in fact you are dead! 2)Wake-up, and strengthen what remains before its dies. I find that the sum of your deeds is less that complete in the sight of my God. 3) Call to mind how you accepted what you heard; keep to it, and repent. If you do not rouse yourselves I will come upon you like a thief, at a time you cannot know. 4) I realize that you have in Sardis a few persons who have not soiled their garments; these shall walk with me in white because they are worthy.
5) ” The victor shall go clothed in white. I will never erase his name from the book of the living, but will acknowledge him ‘in the presence of my Father and his angels. 6) “‘ Let him who has ears heed the Spirit’s word to the churches!”‘
