“Verily,
verily I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but
climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber…I am the door: by
me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find
pasture.” Jn. 10:1, 9
If
we will not do the will of God on earth, why would we ever do it in Heaven?
If
we are not willing to submit ourselves to the authority of Heaven now, why
would we then?
Heaven
has an obligation to all of creation and to its members to secure its borders
and to keep out anyone or anything that refuses to submit themselves to its
authority and assimilate to its ways because if it allowed into its kingdom
things incompatible and unrepentant sinners, the Kingdom would then become
every bit as defiled and as unpleasant as the earth presently is and a nation
or kingdom that fails to secure its borders is left vulnerable to exploiters,
thieves, robbers, plunderers, and invaders and if overrun, will lose its
culture, identity, sovereignty and its liberty.
Those
governments who refuse to keep secure their borders and who refuse to apply a
strict vetting process to all who seek to enter in are guilty of being in
dereliction of their duties to their nation, its culture and society, and to
its respective people and if we think about it, secure borders and the strict
vetting of all who seek to enter is not just an earthly concept. It is a heavenly concept and first practiced
in Heaven before it became a practice on the earth and it is wisdom and common
sense that can come from no other source but from the Heavenly Kingdom itself.
For
a nation and kingdom to survive, the preservation of its identity is vital and
that means not allowing anything that would compromise or erase its identity
into its midst and when it comes to those seeking to enter into that nation or
kingdom, that nation or kingdom will be confronted with the two following
types:
1. Those who are willing to assimilate, renounce
everything that has made their nation destitute and kept it in bondage, and be
productive contributing members of our nation
2. Those who come, not to pursue a better life
for themselves or to assimilate and be productive members of our society but
who come to steal, kill, and destroy and who seek to replace the respective
worldview of that nation and people with their own and even with the very worldview
and policies that produced the poor and miserable conditions in the respective
place of origin they left.
And
it is due to this failure to distinguish between the two that had contributed
to the fall of nations and empires in times past and as a consequence, they
lost their identities and their respective cultures to invading forces that
they neglected to guard against and even in our time, we see that Europe, or
most of Europe anyway, is in danger of losing its respective identity and
culture due to poor immigration policies and as a consequence, multitudes of
foreigners are entering into the midst of many countries who have no interest
in assimilating, but with every intention of turning Europe into the very
places from which they came and when people of western society express that
there is a danger of civilizational collapse due to mass unvetted migration,
that should be taken as a valid concerned.
Granted
that we should not be opposed to foreigners coming to live among us in our
respective nations but that must come with conditions and that is that they
assimilate and become productive contributors to our respective nations, that
they submit themselves to our respective laws and authorities, and have respect
for our respective customs and traditions and not demand that we should abandon
those thing which we have held dear and which have shaped and preserved the
identity of each respective nation and society to accommodate for values which
they refuse to relinquish.
For
example, when Daniel and his three companions were taken into captivity by the
Babylonians, they did not demand that their captors abide by Jewish dietary
laws, but simply refused to eat anything that violated the dietary laws that
they followed, even if it meant that they just drank water and ate vegetables
(Dan. 1)
Shadrach,
Meschech, and Abednego, when it was demanded of them to worship the golden image
that king Nebuchadnezzar set up, did not demand that the people of Babylon not
worship the image, but simply refused to worship the image themselves, even at
the risk of their own lives (Dan. 3) and yet for their faithfulness to their
respective faith, Daniel and his companions were held in high regard.
They
made no demand of the Babylonian people to abandon their respective customs,
traditions, or even their false gods. They only determined in their hearts to
remain faithful to the one true God and to His respective laws, ordinances,
observances, and precepts.
They
were not a terror to the people around them, but sought their peace.
But
that is far different from those who come into a nation not their own and
demand that grocery stores and restaurants accommodate for their respective
faith by providing them with foods they deem acceptable, protest the respective
observances and festivities of the nations they enter, desecrate sacred spaces,
and terrorize the citizens of those respective nations to which they entered.
If
you from a foreign nation seek to reside in my country, you have every right to
eat or not eat whatever you wish, but don’t demand that I conform to your
dietary preferences.
You
have every right to practice the faith of your choice, but don’t demand that I
do not practice mine.
And
you have every right to not participate in the holidays of my respective
nation, but do not demand that I stop taking part in them.
And
if you want become a part of my respective nation, assimilate, learn to speak
our language, educate yourself as much as you can in the history and culture of
this nation, respect and abide by the culture, customs, and traditions its
citizens share in common, make yourself subject to the governing powers
thereof, and be a productive and contributing member of our society but if you
will not agree to these things, then go back to where you came from because we
are not interested in becoming like the nation you came from.
But
this principle of secure borders and vetting those who seek entry does not
apply to just nations. It also applies
to institutions and even households as well.
If any given institution, movement, or organization is to remain true to
its intended purpose, then it is vital that its identity preserved and that can
only be done by ensuring all of its members abide according to its intended
purpose and dedicate themselves to upholding the principles and values upon
which that institution, movement, or organization was built but when the
members within any given institution, movement, or organization fail to take
the necessary measures to preserve the very elements by which its identity is
shaped and uphold the values and principles upon which it was founded, it is
then that institution, organization, or movement is eventually removed from its
intended purpose, becomes unrecognizable from what it once was, and even loses
the credibility and respect that it once had and this has happened far too
often to institutions and organizations once honorable and respectable and to
movements well-intended.
The
Church has been no exception to this as upon its founding, it knew its mission.
It
knew its doctrine.
It
knew how its members were supposed to conduct themselves.
And
it knew whom it served and to ensure that this would always be the case, Jesus
and the Apostles emphasized accountability (Mt. 18:15-17, 1 Cor. 5:1-8, 11, 13,
Titus 2:10, 13, Rev. 2:14-15, 20-23) and constantly
warned of anything that might lead members of the Church away from the
teachings and instruction once given to it (Mt. 7:15-20, Acts 20:28-31, 2 Cor.
11:3-4, 12-15, Gal. 1:6-9, 1 Tim. 1:19-20, 4:1-3, 7, 5:22, 6:3-5, 20-21, 2 Tim.
2:16-18, 23, Titus 1:10-16, 2:11, 2 Pet. 2, 3:15-16, 1 Jn. 4:1-3, Jude, Rev.
2:14-15, 20-23) and the Apostles had taken great pains and labored tirelessly
to ensure that members of the Church lived and conducted themselves in a way
worthy of the name of Jesus who serves as the chief cornerstone of that
institution and to preserve the purity of its doctrine, teachings, and
instructions which is why that if we want to know how Christians are supposed
to conduct themselves, how they are to live their lives, how they are to treat
each other and those around them, and what doctrine and instruction that they
are supposed to abide in, look no further than Christ and that Apostolic
generation and look no further than the doctrine and testimony of scripture to
which they both adhered and to which they appealed for it is that generation
that serve as the best example that there could be.
I
don’t look to any generation beyond that of the Apostolic generation as an
authority as I see each generation afterward as a sad testimony of the gradual
departure of the Church from the pure doctrine to which it once adhered and
taught, but that does not mean that there haven’t been godly men and women in
their own right throughout the generation who sought to walk in the purity of
that very truth, doctrine, testimony, and instruction that can only come from
God Almighty and even defend it against any and all attacks; even the reformers
had fought very hard to return the body of Christ to that pre-papal doctrine of
purity and although not entirely successful, they were able to at least set the
precedent for future generations to be able to return to that doctrinal purity,
but the reason why the Church is so divided in matters of faith and doctrine,
their treatment of the scriptures by which the Gospel of Jesus Christ is
delivered, and even who God is and His nature is due, in many cases, to
teachings and doctrines foreign to the faith being brought and introduced to
the ranks of the saints and introduced ever so cleverly with the sole intent of
undermining the mission of the Church and by casting doubt in the minds and
hearts of those professing followers of Christ of the very faith itself which
they claim to have embraced and surrendered themselves to.
The
lies and false doctrines that have been brought into the Church, which have
sown division where there was once unity, confusion where there was once
clarity, doubt where there was once assurance, and even an undermining and
overthrowing of faith that was once secure and steadfast do not always appear
blatantly contrary to the pure doctrine that was first delivered to the saints,
but in many cases is far more subtle and more cleverly disguised, mixing a
degree of truth with error as the more appeal there is to that which is true,
the better able to deceive the saints and if possible, even lead some out of
the faith and the reason why so much error, falsehood, and even heresy have
become so rampant throughout the Church is because the Church has largely
neglected to secure its borders and as a consequence, there are multitudes of
congregants around the world who are believing things not taught in the
divinely inspired scripture (2 Tim. 3:16) and are even opposed to that which is
contained in scripture are taking things to be of the faith that were never of
the faith but were introduced into the faith, and in the worst case scenario,
are unregenerated and unconverted and will find themselves shut out of the
Kingdom of Heaven, for as Jesus has warned, “Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will
of my father which is in heaven. Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and
in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that
work iniquity” (Mt. 7:21-23) which is why we are admonished by the Apostle Paul
to examine ourselves to see if we be in the faith (2 Cor. 13:5) and though
there be those who may slip past the safeguards of the Church, they will not
pass by the border security of Heaven and though many within the Church fail to
be the light to the world that they are supposed to be and remain integrated with
the world from which they are to be set apart, the light of Heaven will always
pierce through the darkness of this present world and remain a Kingdom set
apart from the kingdoms, nations, and empires of this world, but we who have
not done our due diligence in guarding the borders of our hearts, minds, homes,
and churches are going to have to give an account one day before the God of
Heaven for our dereliction of duty and unlike other borders, the borders of the
Kingdom of Heaven are going to expand until they have overtaken all of the
nations and kingdoms of this earth and have transformed all of creation back
into what God intended it to be.
The
present world in which we live in is not what God desired or intended it to
be. It was a world that God had created
to be a place of light and life and without death, pain, suffering, or evil and
in that world existed a perfect and uninterrupted harmony between God, man, and
nature until there arose a rebellion which did not begin on the earth, but
which began in the Kingdom of Heaven, even before the earth was created and it
began when a certain angel named Lucifer, who served as a covering cherub at the
throne of God, became so lifted up in his pride that he thought he could make
himself equal with God and even be a god himself which ended with him and those
who sided with him against God being cast from their places in Heaven (Is.
14:11-29, Ezek. 28:12-19) and it was in that day that Lucifer became known and
better known as Satan or the Devil and after losing his initial war for Heaven,
he then crept into the newly formed earth in the form of a serpent and then
accomplished in the earth what he could not in Heaven and what he accomplished
was, through trickery and deceit, causing the first man Adam and the first
woman Eve to commit a fateful and astronomically consequential act and that act
that they were deceived into committing but had been warned against was the
eating of a fruit from a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil.
When
God had created Adam and Eve, there was nothing withheld from them except the
fruit of that tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, having
been warned of God that in the day that they ate thereof, they would surely die
(Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3) but with false assurances and empty promises, Satan caused
the first man Adam whom God had created and the first woman Eve, being Adam’s
wife, to eat of that forbidden fruit (Gen. 3:4-5) and instead of receiving the
greatness that they were promised, they were reduced to an inferior state (Gen.
3:7 and just as they had been warned of God, the sentence of death was placed
upon them (Gen. 3:19) for it was in that day when Adam and Eve ate of that
forbidden fruit that sin entered into them and from them, the sin which entered
into them and brought about their eventual deaths, was also passed down to all
of mankind for all of us are descendants of that first man and that first woman
and because we are their descendants, we have also inherited the sin that entered
into them (Rom. 5:12) and because of that sin which we have inherited, we all
sin in some form or fashion and as a consequence we all die for as it is
written, the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23) but sin is not merely confined
to outward behavior or performance or even the words we speak, but it is rather
the inherent inward corruption of our very nature defiling our thoughts,
hardening and darkening our hearts, and corrupting our very motives which is
why it is written that we are not defiled from that which comes from without,
but that which comes from within (Mt. 15:11, 18-20) and which is why it is
written that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23)
which demands of us nothing less than moral perfection and not just in our
outward acts but also in our inward as well which is why it is impossible by
our own efforts and our own goodness to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, for
sin taints, corrupts, defiles, twists, and distorts more than we can comprehend
and the effects of sin are not merely confined to mankind, but all of creation
is subjected to a curse because of sin which is why it is written that the
entire creation groans and travails in pain to this day (Rom. 8:19-22) but not
only that, the transgression that Satan led Adam and Eve into committing made
him justified in claiming lordship over all the nations, kingdoms, and empires
of the earth, (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) which is why he is called the prince of
this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) and is why this present world is in a sense now a
kingdom of its own because of one man’s act of disobedience and one of such
consequence which plunged the world into the present state that we know it to
be and the only condition that we have ever known or experienced and it too is
a kingdom with its rulers, powers, borders, and domains though not a unified
kingdom, but a divided kingdom; divided between social and economic classes,
political parties, various philosophies and religions, cultures, societies,
civilizations, skin-color, generational brackets, nationalities, ethnicities,
lineages, and even gender and different interests which has resulted in all
kinds of dissentions, conflicts, wars, and even chaos; it is a world divided
against itself and at war with itself and when one set of lies fails to sell,
another set of lies comes in its place and it is a kingdom over which Satan and
his minions have presided and who have taken multitudes captive with such
ingenious subtlety, binding them with an invisible bondage, luring them into an
unseen darkness, and into an eternal damnation to which they are made oblivious
but the kingdom over which he rules, which is this present world, is a stolen
kingdom filled with stolen souls which God will take back to Himself and when
He does, He will purge and eliminate from it all of the evil that is in it and
that must also include those who persist living in their sin and who take
pleasure and joy in it for nothing that is contrary to the design of God will
ever be fit for His Kingdom but before that day, the Lord God Almighty is
giving all who are willing opportunity to turn away from their sins and from
the dark things of this world and to become citizens of His Kingdom and the new
and better world that is to come not willing that any should perish in their
sins and face eternal damnation, (2 Pet. 3:9) but that all would come to
repentance, and therefore has done for us what we could never do for ourselves
in that He, in His graciousness has purchased redemption on our behalf in
Christ Jesus, His only begotten Son, (Jn. 3:16) who came to us in the flesh,
(Jn. 1:14) and being without any sin (2 Cor. 5:21) was made that perfect
sacrifice (Heb. 7:26-27) that was needed to take away the sins of the world and
because of His perfect goodness, He was able to offer Himself up on our behalf
to satisfy the demanded penalty for all sin and granting mercy and grace
through the shedding of His blood on the cross and after having died, rose
again from the dead three days later that we might be justified in Him (Rom.
4:25) if we will but call upon His name so that we might be saved from what
would otherwise be a terrifying everlasting punishment if we will but call upon
His name (Rom. 10:9, 13) and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the
dead (Rom. 10:9) for it is by calling upon His name in sincere repentance that
salvation is granted and our souls made clean from sin thereby liberating us
from the threat of eternal damnation and with that cleansing comes a new
spiritual transformation (2 Cor. 5:17) that causes us to no longer desire to
follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain
to the Kingdom of Heaven,
to
no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the
sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to
no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the
truth that comes from Christ Almighty who is the source of all truth, (Jn.
14:6)
no
longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking
forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to
no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities,
skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet
all of our needs, recognizing that the resources of this world and even the
people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which
God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which
we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God, (Mt.
6:25-33)
to
no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we
will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to
no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and
order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and
precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an
ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon
repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to
pursue for His glory,
to
no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to
no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible
God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our
edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose
to which He has called them,
to
no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the
things of the light,
to
no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge
that comes from above, (Jas. 1:5) nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities
to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from
evil.
And
it is this new inward transformation that reconciles us to our Creator (2 Cor.
5:18) from whom we had once been estranged and just as our souls are cleansed
from sin and our spirits regenerated in Christ Jesus thereby liberating us from
the eternal tormenting punishment that must come upon all who remain in their
sins, so one day we look forward to the liberation of our bodies from death
itself when our mortal and corruptible forms are transformed into that which is
immortal and incorruptible and from that which is imperfect to that which is
perfect (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and lastly, creation itself will be
delivered from the curse placed upon it because of sin when it is made into a
new and better world (Rev. 21-22) and liberated from the hand of our adversary
Satan, who presently claims dominion, when he is given his final sentence and
cast into an everlasting tormenting fire prepared for him and his followers
(Mt. 25:41, Rev. 20:10-15) and in that new world which will be made, there will
be no sin, no death, no decay, nor any curse, nor any evil, or violence,
suffering, misery, grief, sorrow, mourning, pain, or hardship of any sort for
all of these will pass away with this present world. Instead, there will only be light, life,
happiness, joy, contentment, peace, and rest before the Lord God Almighty.
But
through various devices, Satan has continued and still continues to fight
against the spreading of the good news of the Gospel in order to hold as many
of the captives that he has taken in bondage and he does so by blinding them to
their spiritual bondage with lies and in blinding them to their spiritual
bondage, he also blinds them to their need for redemption and salvation and he
tirelessly does all in his power to suppress anything that challenges the lies
by which he has poisoned the minds and hearts of many and to hide and suppress
anything that might lead souls to the knowledge of the truth by which we are
delivered from eternal damnation and how better the forces of evil are at
securing and expanding their borders than those who claim to be members of the
Kingdom of Heaven and this is a thing that ought not be so when we who are in
Christ and are supposed to be representatives of the Kingdom of God ought to be
better able at securing and expanding the borders of Heaven than the forces of
Satan are at securing and expanding theirs when we serve and follow a
conquering King but we cower when should have we courageous for our Lord.
We
remain silent when we should speak up in His name.
We
place our faith in other things to meet our needs when we should be trusting in
God to meet all of our needs.
We
fear mankind more than God when we should be fearing God before whom all of
mankind must give an account.
We
value the temporal honors and favors of this present world when we should value
the eternal honors and favor of God more than the temporal ones of this present
life.
We
get distracted by the cares and worries of this life when we should be keeping
our focus on the next life.
We
should apologize for allowing ourselves to be more consumed with storing up
treasures on earth than treasures in Heaven.
We
have been complacent when we should be vigilant in preserving the purity of the
doctrine of our faith.
We
have been lazy in our service to Christ when we should be more diligent.
We
have been apathetic when we should retain in ourselves an ongoing zeal for the
things of God.
We
have harbored, tolerated, and have even celebrated within our ranks the things
that dishonor and displease the God we claim to serve when we should hold they
among us accountable for doing those things and teaching those things contrary
to the teachings of the divinely inspired scriptures.
We
trust in the wisdom and philosophies of this world when we should be trusting in
the wisdom that comes from God.
We
rely on the counsel of so-called experts when we should be seeking and trusting
the counsel that comes from God.
We
compromise our approach to the scriptures by which the Gospel is delivered to
us when we should be relying upon the sufficiency of its teachings and placing
our full faith and confidence therein.
And
we are ill-equipped to give a firm and sound defense of our faith and to
earnestly contend for it when so required of us when we should be made ready to
do so on any given occasion.
But
if we would steadfast in our faith, even in the face of opposition and even
persecution,
If
we would maintain an ongoing zeal for our Lord and His truth,
If
we would but all have a heart for the Word of God,
If
we would but learn to trust in the sufficiency of His Word and make that our
only rule of faith and our only authority in all matters,
If
we would be but diligent in going about the business of our God,
If
we would be vigilant in preserving godliness and sound doctrine within our
ranks and resolve to hold accountable those who persist in sinful living and spreading
false doctrines, heresies, and anything to cast doubt upon and undermine faith,
If
we would but treat the written Word as authoritative in all things upon which it
speaks,
If
we would value the praise of God above the praise of men and fear Him above
men,
If
we would prioritize the things of Heaven above the things of this world and not
allow ourselves to be distracted by the cares and worries of this present life,
If
we would trust God to provide for all of our needs instead of the things of
this world,
If
we would but rely on the wisdom and counsel that comes from God instead of what
comes from this world,
If
we would only place our hope in the world to come instead of the things of this
present world,
If
more of us would be ready to share the good news of Jesus when opportunity
arises,
And
if we would be ready and equipped to give a defense for our faith when it is challenged,
then we would see the victory which comes from Christ made more manifested, His
light would shine ever the brighter through us, and we would see the Kingdom of
Heaven advancing all the more on the kingdom of darkness and taking back from
the adversary of our souls ground that was stolen but if we are to be effective
in advancing the Kingdom of Heaven, then we must first secure our own
respective borders and set our own house in order that we may show ourselves
worthy representatives and ambassadors on behalf of the name that is above all
names.
And
to any readers who have not already done so, now is the time to become a
citizen of the Kingdom of God, now is the time to abandon the kingdom of
darkness. All it takes is a sincere
prayer of repentance and submission to the authority of God in Heaven above:
"Lord
Jesus I need you.
I
realize that I am a sinner
who
has fallen short of the glory of God
and
that my goodness falls short
of
your standard of Moral perfection.
Please
forgive me of all of my sins.
Come
into my heart and into my life
to
be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make
me into the servant and follower
that
you want me to be.
In
your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen."
Know
that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him
forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all
sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in
Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven
and your place in Heaven is certain.
