1 Corinthians 2:9
King James Version
9 But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him.
Yesterday was an especially wonderful day.
Only because the HOLY SPIRIT led me to a wonderful verse.
Wherein we can know for sure who goes to heaven.
This is the verse that warmed my heart:
Matthew 7:21
King James Version
21 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.
It's as if in one phrase, all have been revealed.
Who goes to heaven?
"he that doeth the will of my Father"
JESUS said that.
And Who better to know the HEART of GOD, and the WILL of the FATHER, than the SON Himself?
He is the WAY back to GOD, after all.
John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Look what JESUS said, near the end of His earthly life.
This as His eyes looked up to heaven, as He spoke to the FATHER:
John 17:4
King James Version
4 I have glorified thee on the earth:
I have finished the work
which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:6
King James Version
6 I have manifested thy name
unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:
thine they were, and thou gavest them me;
and they have kept thy word.
John 17:8
King James Version
8 For I have given unto them
the words which thou gavest me;
and they have received them,
and have known surely that I came out from thee,
and they have believed that thou didst send me.
And let's not forget the CROSS.
Wherein JESUS exhibited the following --
PERFECT obedience to GOD, the Father.
PERFECT love for/from GOD, and for us.
PERFECT humility for GOD's will.
Despite the suffering to come upon Him.
John 3:16
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
Romans 5:6
King James Version
6 For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Ephesians 1:7
King James Version
7 In whom we have redemption
through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;
Philippians 2:8
King James Version
8 And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
Revelation 1:5
King James Version
5 And from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins
in his own blood,
JESUS, even with all power given Him, all the more showed reverence for the FATHER.
He taught us to obey GOD's will.
To be perfect in His eyes.
To make no excuses for our sins.
But to seek awareness, and repentance.
And to become born again, that we may be instructed by SPIRIT.
Who reminds us all what JESUS taught us.
John 14:26
King James Version
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
Is it really so hard to follow the WILL of GOD?
Not for a true born again.
Not for a true follower of CHRIST.
Not for those who truly LOVE GOD.
We delight in following His laws.
Psalm 119:97
King James Version
97 O how love I thy law!
it is my meditation all the day.
John 3:30
King James Version
30 He must increase,
but I must decrease.
1 John 5:3
King James Version
3 For this is the love of God,
that we keep his commandments:
and his commandments are not grievous.
You can keep trying to follow your will.
Or the world's will.
But in the end, GOD's will remains.
His laws stand.
His WORD is ALL THERE IS.
Think upon these things:
The ONLY THING that will REMAIN
