Matt 25:45 ( then shall he answer them, saying , verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me)
Bible is full of dos and don’t, the don’t part of it is more easier to do than the dos, our fallen nature is not use to doing things that doesn’t please the flesh.
Apostle Paul said that, the things I want to do, I won’t do it, it’s only the things I don’t want to do that I do, who will deliver me from the wretched state?
Every sin a man committed has it’s consequences, in his own life and will also affect the life of others, many only worry about the things they might do to incurr God’s wrath, not what they must do to obtain His favour.
I read a story of two men who find themselves in hell but don’t know what take them there.
Both were complaining about their neighbors, one said that he had a neighbor that always used his money to drink and gamble.
The son of that neighbor came to him one day to seek for assistance to buy school uniforms and sandals, but the man refused, saying if he help the boy, the father will still use his money to drink.
The second man claimed that one of his neighbors that he invited to come to their church but refused, now want his help for financial assistance to bury his mother; he too refused, because the man don’t use to come to their church.
Jesus Christ looked at them and smile saying, see this foolish men, they failed to remember His word which says, if your neighbor ask from you, you shouldn’t refuse if it’s in your power to do.
They omitted that law while claiming they serve God, not knowing that not iota of His word will go unfulfill, even if heaven and the earth pass away.
The Bible says, whoever omitted little out of the law and teach others to do so, will be counted as little in the kingdom of God.
It’s unfortunate that Christians only focus on what God says “don’t do”, but neglect what he told them to do, this is sign of dishonour against His holiness.
Life of Jonah was example for believers not to follow, God asked him to go to Nineveh but ran from His presence, we always chose what pleases us out of the law while refused to notice what please God.
The ruler of the synagogues obey all the rules, and believe he is qualify for heaven, but forgot what he was yet to do, Jesus told him what to do to, and that was what he was lacking; but he believed that that kind of demand is too much for him to follow, thereby neglect salvation presented to him on a platter of gold.
We claimed to love God but refused those who were created in his image, that kind of love is one sided and not complete to make us perfect before God.
The ruler of synagogue obeyed the part that needs to do with God, but disobeyed the part that need to do man, this signified that his love for God is not complete.
We are able to do whatever for God and abide in His laws of “don’t” but failed to acknowledge the one we need to do.
Perfection of man depends on obeying all the commandments through the help of holy Spirit, some don’t commit adultery neither fornicate, but they failed to help that brother by their sides.
They do the work of God diligently, but not minding that brother that came for help which they refused to their own detriment: they believe their own righteousness is enough to make heaven, not knowing that they need God’s righteousness to enter there.
It who God declare righteous that is righteous, not the one who declared himself.
Some people that will come to Jesus on the last day shall be rejected, they did many things in the name of God, but forgot to take care of the need of others.
He will reject them since they refused to help one of these little one at least, they’re not worthy to stand in His presence, even though they claim to work for Him.
This prove that they obey one part of the law but neglect the others, but this two must be perfect for us to be complete in Him.
Many claimed to love God, they even offered themselves on the altar of sacrifice, but don’t love their hungry neighbors, they justified their actions with what they’ve done for God, but Christ condemned them for what they omitt.
Most Christians who are in hell are ignorant of this, they followed the law with their senses but not in the will of God.
As we need to honor God with our body, so also in our thoughts; mistakes of many Christians is that God always answer prayers, no matter the condition of their heart.
Had they been in the counsel of God and know his ways, they would have known that, He won’t listen to the appeal of those who failed to honour His Word (zech 7:13).
God need our total commitment and to have the knowledge of His ways, even though we counted some law as little, but whoever erred against it and teach others to do so still remain as sinners in his sight.
Law of dos is the sum up of the whole law, ” love the Lord with all your heart ,with all your soul and with all your might” the second one is like it, ” love your neighbor as your self”.
If we abide in this two commandments, we won’t worship other gods, or do things that God don’t like, and if we love our neighbors as ourselves, we won’t do things that will hurt them.
God has no time to waste on person that’s neither cold nor hot, he will rather spew them out of His mouth.
Most gathering of Christians nowadays only gather to mock God not to honour His name, the way they dress and their song with dancing step are just to mock His holiness.
No one mock God and get away with it, he will surely reap whatever he sow.
Prayer: Father Lord help me in this journey in Jesus name amen
