"To Render Evident" -Too

 "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." (John 1:9 KJV)

  "For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without the law shall perish without the law; and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and there thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." (Romans 2:11-16 KJV)

  As I have said before, there will be no excuses before God, at the day of judgment! The absolute best thing that we can do now, is to make no excuses before God right now, before it is too late: plead our case now, because there will be no chance to plead and beg for mercy on the day of judgment! Another great example of why it is so important to grab hold of the Free Gift that God has to offer. Do it now, why you still can, because there may not be another opportunity offered; just saying! 

  In the beginning, there was a Flaming Sword that was placed at the entrance of the Garden of Eden; it was placed there to guard the Tree of Life. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is what caused man to fall, not because there was some sort of enlightenment given by that fruit; but because the Light of God had been taken away from Adam and Eve because of there sin. It was the fact of the fruit having been forbidden by God to eat: that in eating it, their sin, trespass, and iniquity had all been performed in one single act of rebellion against God's command. 

  The amazing fact is, that David's sin with Bathsheba accomplished that same result: all three of those levels of sin were brought forth in his one little fling. The difference between Adam and David was what they did when they were exposed: Adam made excuses, David pleaded for mercy! I know it is something of a mystery, but God is a God of Mercy! 

  There is Good News for all that come to God asking for mercy! That is the Gospel that Paul is referring to in Romans 2:16; because in the day of judgment, all will be judged for there sins, both known and unknown! Except, there is a Clause! There will be a vast amount of people which will have no sins! All their sins will be gone and will have been washed away! But, that is only made possible if you can lose those sins now, because after death, is judgment...

"When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands. And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he lain his right hand upon me and said, "Don't be afraid! I am the First and the Last. I am the living one. I died, but look -I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave."" (Revelation 1:12-18 NLT)
