1st John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
The appropriate response to God’s Gift to us is to accept Him with open arms so that we may become partakers with Christ of the end product, which is eternal life. If there is any message that we should dwell upon during this Holiday season is that Christ made eternal life possible, by His death for us.
However, while the earth continues, we’ll have to face some grim realities, because the very same conditions that existed at Christ’s first coming, are being manifested just before His second coming. The forms of religion are devolving into mere husks, and morality is scheduled to tank, even more than it is currently.
Just as how personal feelings drove the masses of people to do the unthinkable in Christ’s day, just so personal feelings are driving legislation on a host of current issues, and feelings would soon be allowed to legislate almost anything, for whenever certain doors are opened, and the horses are let out of the barn, they can become very difficult to rein back in.
2nd Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
