What pain led us to the cross where we found redemption and understood love?  The reflection of the law, shone dark swaths of sin over our corrupt flesh causing us to cry out to the Almighty for release.  That ugliness of my original sin is forgotten by God, but I must remember the pain, despair and trauma that drove me to humble myself before God and my savior, Jesus Christ the King.  Why?  Because for all intents and purposes that memory is preparedness against complicity.  I must remain vigilant and work out my salvation with the same fear and trembling that first acquainted me to wisdom and reason.  I must guard close my fear and respect of Almighty God or else risk stepping from the skinny path, judging others or forgetting to “armor up” against the powers and principalities of the air.

What proof have we that God’s grace will continue as adequate fortification against His overwhelming wrath?  Is there some self -help initiative which effectively elaborates the necessary steps to maintaining sustainable global calm?  We hope in our dependence and faith upon the laws of this world that there is such a sustainable, irresistible hope, but alas this thinking lacks supportable fact, like communism and the goodness of mankind it is simply imagination.  The only real, verifiable, dependable truth is Bible Prophecy, which paints a picture of war, death, pestilence, false gods/prophets and the utter devastation of God’s Wrath upon the Earth and hearts of wickedness.  There will be no golden age of human evolution where those who believe in survival of the fittest suddenly have pity, empathy, understanding and good will toward those of lesser stature, wealth, status or body.  This is folly and is false word seeded to the ill will of the principalities to lead astray the wise, believing that beyond reason and the truth of God’s Word there is some alternate salvation for humanity.  Pay these ideas no heed, denounce them and flee from those who would have us place faith in lies.

Jesus is coming back soon, first for His Church and then for judgment.  You see the signs, that is if you have studied the Bible enough to understand what those signs will be.  What now will you do that the end times and the great day of the Lord approaches?  Will you hold fast to the things of this Earth, pleasures and frailties that will find you counted among the lost or will you sell all you have for the pearl of infinite price?  Will you start planning for your real citizenship by filling your lamp with oil and awaiting the masters arrival, whether day or middle of night?  We as Christians have ample warning, I would hate to have myself among the goats when the sheep have been gathered by the Good Shepherd.  That is my greatest fear, not of men and their persecution, but of God who may commend my soul to hell for eternity.  I think this is reasonable, don’t you?  Step away from this world and all the shiny things it offers your senses.  Follow the skinny path to salvation and sanctification so that your rewards in heaven will be wondrous.  There is no hope, salvation or peaceful redemption for mankind other than through Jesus Christ the King.  Find peace in Him or suffer the travesty of this world which begs for his judgment and wrath.
