"Real Security" -2

"This Thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me." (Psalms 35:22) Having said what I said, I must remind you that God knows our heart; and because He knows our heart, He knows when we are trying to please Him, and He knows when we are basically just out to please ourselves; in other words, we can't fool God! With that in mind, the other side of this issue is our confidence in the salvation we have in Jesus Christ; not that we are allowed to get away with sin, but the forgiveness of sin means that our sin no longer condemns us; we might still suffer some sort of consequence for sinning, but no matter what that consequence might be, we are secure in Christ, all the way to the very end! I truly believe that is the reason God hates divorce so much, because it is giving up on something that is meant to go all the way to the very end; just as He will not give up on us, and we should never stop believing in His great love and mercy. I actually know people that do not think God can forgive them; as if God's great mercy is not great enough to have mercy a second time; which is to say, I know God forgave me when I accepted Christ into my heart, but I slipped back into the world, and Jesus only died once for my sin, so I blew it. What an incredibly stupid thing to even think, let alone put into practice; Jesus paid the price for "ALL" sin, and the last time I checked, all still means ALL, we just need to believe that it is so, and then put that into practice! Do you want to be forgiven of your sins? Then hear Jesus knocking, because that is what is happening to your heart: Jesus is knocking to come in again and to take control of your life; if you did not care to be forgiven, that's a different matter all together; but if you want to be forgiven, then that's redemption time, and by redemption time, I mean that it's time to redeem the time, while the Lord is knocking! Open that door and let Him in: NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION... "As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." (Galatians 6:12-17)
