Judgment & Restoration

 

    I would love to hear your thoughts on what I write.  Some of these topics are hard to touch on.  Some are just unaltering facts.  However, we all grow by having discussions in a civilized manner.  Please feel free to give me feed back, especially if you think I am way off.

    God gives you choices in life and eternity.  He made you uniquely special.  There is no one like you and when you become a Christian your body becomes the temple in which the Holy Spirit resides.  This means that you can't do with your body what you did before.  You are responsible for what you put into it.  That includes your mind.

    God expects His people to be humble and listen for His voice.  We are supposed to have a submissive spirit toward Him.  An independent spirit may make a sacrifice or tithe without attributing it to God.  It is an open sin that just expects everyone to be good with it.  God considers it the same as murder.  It is an act of rebellion because you make God's house like it was always yours.  

    God judges religious lies as an act of evil.  The consequences may be harsh.  Ignoring God and choose evil is a dangerous gamble.  Acting religious doesn't make you a Christian.

    To listen to God is to chose the path that may make you unpopular.  Some people may mock you.  However, you never have to question on what your eternal life will look like.  You will see His full glory and have restoration that gives you joy now.  You will see God revealed in all of His glory.

    Growing in your relationship with God is a lot like puberty (or a new born baby).  It changes you, you have growing pains, and you sometimes just don't understand what is happening to you on the inside.  It is not easy, but you can rejoice in the end result: being a loving fully mature Christian.

    God will execute His judgment, but He will give His family comfort.  Everyone else will be slain to purify the earth: it will burn.  It is a horror.  Fire and death for eternity.  These are the people that need to be mourned.  This is the final judgment.

    Instead, Purify yourself and be ready for His gathering.  Once you are gathered, you will be with people that are like yourself.  Everything that separated you will be gone.  You will be taken to the new Heaven and Earth that endures as long as He does.  Your final restoration can be eternal.
