ROADBLOCK TO BELIEF

What prevents man from believing in the, Lord Jesus Christ? The simple answer is Sin;The bible tells us that Gods arm is not too short that He cannot save us nor is there deafness in His hearing that He cannot hear us, but it is our sin that separates from our God and it is because of sin that God will not hear us. The removal of sin is by far man's greatest need,and that is why you will often find Jesus saying, son or daughter your sins are forgiven you, even before our Lord would ever perform a miracle that would lead to physical healing. Which leads me to my next point and that is this: many are looking for the removal of financial debt, but how many are looking for removal of sins? Many are looking for removal of disease but how many are looking for removal of sin? The Apostle spoke truth when he said "There is none good, no, not one; none seeks after God" Many seek after what God can give them, but how many seek after Christ Himself? Many desire the bread from the Master's table but how many desire the Master? With the removal of sin from the heart comes the removal of the dark cloud of God's wrath which hovers over every soul that comes into this world! Do not be deceived God will not be mocked, what a man sows he shall reap!

SEEING THE INVISIBLE

the people of faith, the people of the day, the people of the light, the people of Christ do not stumble, they are not caught off guard by the trappings, distractions and concerns of this world because they are focused upon Christ! They are intent, determined, and committed to knowing Christ; they strive in the furthering their experience of Christ’s love towards themselves, they are desirous of having their faith in Christ matured to perfection! That is what it is to see the light of Christ! to have your attention so captivated by Him that you don’t have time to be concerned with stumbling blocks of this crooked and perverse world.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CHRIST'S HOLINESS

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: The whole earth is full of His glory! ISAIAH 6_3

This is the only characteristic of God that is mentioned three consecutive times.Nowhere in the bible does it say that God is good, good, good; mercy, mercy, mercy or love, love, love. The holiness of God is His greatest attribute. Whatever... we are to think of God must be filtered through the fact that He is holy; God is seperate from sin, seperate from sinners and seperate from the world and yet He desires to join Himself to the likes of you and me. But in order to do so it will cost Him the life of His Son and it will cost us our life as well. it will cost us a life of living in holiness, seperate from sin, sinneres and worldliness. Your Father in heaven is holy, therefore you are to be holy as well, even as He who called you is holy!
