The last
point of the signs that genuine faith is neither prove nor disprove is the
decision made for Jesus Christ.
At all
times there were people who thought, that they had opted for Jesus Christ. But
by the way of her life, could nobody this recognize. That was then, as now, the
fact that them a false Jesus, were taught. Just think back on the time of the
Crusades. All the knights who participated in it, thought on behalf of the Lord
Jesus Christ to fight, in fact, she only followed the call of power-hungry
princes of the Church of their time.
Today,
people go to great pop concerts with video wall and lighting effects, where
additionally, but deliberately the alleged word of God is proclaimed. In this
emotionally fuelled atmosphere, go all who were invited to come, in an ecstasy
forwardly, to handed over, to a Jesus Christ, how does not exist in this type.
Clever advertising strategists have especially for these so-called evangelistic
campaigns invented a Gospel light, so that they can present to record-breaking
numbers of supposedly newly rescued souls. After that time nobody does preach
the pure Gospel, that the newly recruited not scare. Should such a person once
read the Bible and ask shocked, then will someone explain that much of the
Bible is not date anymore, and he has nothing to worry about. There are even
today priests and theologians (Scribes and Pharisees), who lead the people
astray.
Given these
findings, I wonder how many Christians there would be actually, if you would
preach and teach the Gospel today, how it's done Jesus Christ at his first coming?
Jesus
Christ tells us in Luke 8, 13 - 14 why a decision made for him is not proof of
genuine faith. He says: "Those on
the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they
have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall
away. The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go
on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they
do not mature."
We see, not
the decision demonstrates the true faith, only the fruit, which means how
someone who has chosen Jesus, live his life. However, in order to bear fruit
you should know that Jesus Christ himself has said that the entire Bible is
valid forever. Only those who know the word of God, so the Bible can also bring
fruit.
Let no one
deceive you, because God's Word has not changed. God's holy day is still
Sabbath and God's festivals are just those which he has decreed. The new
covenant, which as many as an excuse, is another covenant of God with the
children of Israel, who just does not abolish the feasts of the Lord, or other
celebrations used.
If you
decide you for Jesus Christ, you should know exactly for whom they choose.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who will establish his kingdom at his second
coming. His day of the Lord will be the Sabbath, its feasts will be the feasts
of the Lord and His laws will be the laws and commandments of God.
No one
should think that Jesus will set up a kingdom without laws, for the Lord is not
an anarchist.
In the
second part of my series, I'll make my thoughts on the safe signs of genuine
faith.
The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he
sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. Great is the Lord in
Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. Let them praise your great and
awesome name— he is holy. The King is mighty, he loves justice— you have
established equity; in Jacob you have done what is just and right. Exalt the
Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. Moses and Aaron were
among his priests, Samuel was among those who called on his name; they called
on the Lord and he answered them. He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they
kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them. O Lord our God, you answered
them; you were to Israel a forgiving God, though you
punished their misdeeds. Exalt the Lord our God and worship
at his holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy. Amen
(Psalm
99, 1-9)
