THE TRUE LAW GIVER IS CALLING YOU BACK TO HIMSELF
By Cynthia Pawl November 28,2015
You know I have often heard and even used the following quote from Hosea. But it was not until today that the second half of the quote actually hit home!
Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
Yes, we are living in a time when KNOWLEDGE is spreading at an extremely rapid pace. Truth is being revealed daily. Secrets that have been withheld from God’s people for thousands of years are being brought to light. SO, why do people continue to walk in darkness? Why is it so hard to get people to see and hear the truth?
The answer is right there in that bible verse. Our nation has turned its back on GOD and REJECTED HIS LAW!!! Yea, even FORGOTTEN HIS LAW/COMMANDMENTS.
People today can’t even quote the Ten Commandments, let alone live by them. WHY? Because they have been taught by an Apostate church that the Law has been done away with. That we are no longer under the “CURSE OF THE LAW”.
When I try to talk to people about the importance of turning away from the Pagan holidays and practices and returning to our roots, they think I am crazy. When I explain to them the joy of keeping the Sabbath, they say that I am grieving the Holy Spirit, by nullifying what Christ did at the Cross. When I tell them that it is vital that they live by GOD’s Ten Commandments, they call me a Jew and tell me that they are free from the Law. They declare that Jesus did away with the Law. They say that Jesus knows that they cannot walk by the commandments and so all they have to do is accept him and they are forgiven. Free to do whatever they want, and he will forgive them and keep on forgiving them.
WRONG!!!!!! Jesus did not come to do away with the law, but to teach us how to live by it. More importantly he came to redeem us. To make a way for us to have the opportunity to fellowship with GOD. That was what we lost in Eden. Before Christ came, we had no hope of ever communing with GOD. He is our Redeemer. And the gift of Redemption is a free gift. He paid the price, but we must work out our salvation, by obeying His Commandments. He sent the Holy Spirit to EMPOWER us to walk in His ways. That is what this life is all about. It is a proving ground. An opportunity for us to choose between life with him and death. Every day we make choices that show him where our heart lies. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Do you LOVE him, with all your heart and mind and spirit?? Above all things?
The following scripture was written in the book of REVELATION, written to those who will be living in the LAST DAYS. I think it makes it very clear that Christ did not do away with the LAW.
Revelation 14:12-13King James Version (KJV)
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
If you do not have to work out your salvation, if Jesus covers all your sin and all you have to do is ask for forgiveness, than what is the meaning of the following scripture?
Luke 21:36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy[a] to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Jesus makes it very clear in the following Scripture:
John 14:15-25 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. 19“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. 25“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
When you read the scripture quoted at the top of this article, did you catch the end? Read it again, please. Do you hear what it is saying to you? When you choose to reject God’s Law, when you turn your back on the Knowledge that God is revealing to you, you are dooming your children! Not just yourselves… your children and grandchildren.
That is why the world is in the state it is in. The world has rejected God, for the most part, and HE has rejected us and our children. The devil is having a hay day with the young people today. They are given over to every kind of perversion and possession and we have done it to them.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! GET IN THE WORD! GET TO KNOW GOD! FIND OUT WHAT HE EXPECTS FROM YOU!
Who knows? Maybe we can yet turn things around. We need to beg him for forgiveness and pray that He will save our children.
2nd Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
