These Are The Final Days

Will you deny the truth today as many have done throughout all of history? We see that the whole world is in great turmoil, nation rising against nation, even family members against family members. For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law (Luke 12:52-53). 

 Even here in United States, citizen against citizen seek control and power over each other to push their own personal agendas, many of which are directly against God’s WORD. Those who rejects the truth, know deep within their hearts that they are wrong.   Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever, Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature (Romans 1:24-26).

November 1                                                                                          Read John 1-3 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received Him not (John 1:10-11). 

 Sequentially, John provides the last of the four gospel accounts found in the New Testament. It is also widely accepted amongst biblical scholars that John was chronologically the last Gospel written. The Gospel’s of Matthew, Mark, and Luke together provide us with a solid understanding of the earthly life and ministry of Jesus Christ from birth to resurrection. Knowing that this knowledge was easily accessible from other sources John focused instead upon reiterating the one fact that many still had difficulty in grasping, the divinity of Christ. He wanted his hearers to have absolutely no doubt from the very first chapter onward as to whom Christ was and what He came to earth to do. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name (John 20:31). 

  The love John had for his Savior and his dedication to Christ’s charge to Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15) shines through in every written word, and it was obviously his fervent desire to usher as many others as possible into the same type of relationship with Jesus Christ. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (John 1:12-13). John did not seek casual coverts; he needed for his hearers to understand the magnitude of what they sought and then to an informed choice to surrender their lives to Jesus. 

  He came unto His own, and His own received Him not (John 1:11). To those who had rejected Him, John offered no comfort. They had not just rejected an overture from God, they had rejected God Himself. In so doing, they had forfeited their lives. Although John spoke in a broad sense, his condemnation was towards official policy and individuals, not towards the Jewish nation as a whole. Official policy did not rule the hearts of the people, and every Jew was free to follow the truth they believed. John urged Jew and Gentile alike to follow the truth of Christ. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God (John 3:18). 

  As we read through the Gospel of John, let us open our hearts and our minds to the brilliant light of our Savior, That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world (John 1:9), and embrace the truth that He brought with Him into the world. In His Name, we are saved. 

  I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images (Isaiah 42:6-8). 

  Thought for Today: God’s WORD is not spread by drawing a flock around us, but rather by drawing one to Him.

 Jesus: Fraud or Messiah? Is Jesus for Real? Can There Actually be Mathematical Proof? Jesus is for Real

  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 

 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them (Romans 1:16-32).
