A day will come when your excuses will not stand nor will they rectify your actions or lack thereof.
I hear so much from people saying I don’t do this because of that, I won’t become a christian because of this person or that one in the church and their action. Honestly, I understand all that but let me ask you a question! When you stand before God’s great throne on the verge of being rejected and cast into the lake of fire for all eternity, will your excuse hold? Will you be told, “well since you refused to repent and get saved because of Jack or Jane’s actions, I’ll let you into my eternity free?” No chance! Although these people will surely be held accountable for their own actions, might have had their trials that you knew nothing of and you tripped over God’s plan for their lives; though you were supposed to be following Jesus and to make him your life model with full focus on Him, what will you say? When Jesus pulls out the archive to see how many times you were exhorted for bad talking the pastors, the preachers, the Christians, God’s anointed by the same source you label as unfit in the faith what excuse will withstand your argument or be in your favor? (Just a reminder, Saul-before accepting Christ, was struck of blindness by God for persecuting God’s people so tread lightly to prevent exciting God’s anger for the fury of His wrath no man can withstand)! There’s no shortcut into heaven’s eternity with Christ. God isn’t moved by your bluff! Each time you were exhorted from wrongfully bashing God’s people, saying things of which you knew nothing of, each time you took the shame or embarrassment you felt after exhortation and clothed it with an insult or an argument to cover your foul actions, does that remove or justify your evil deeds? Think you God is blind? He who created you with the gift of sight and has seven eyes Himself, think you that your actions are justified or hidden? This is why I have an option of a solution for you, oh you righteous and wise one in your eyes! Accept Jesus as Your Lord and Savior first and foremost then come and show those whom you feel can’t do it right how it’s done in ALL GODLINESS! IT’S SIMPLE! I encourage you to look past your false judgments, your excuses, your labels, your shames and even embarrassments toward self and others and invite YOU, YES YOU, to accept Jesus as Your Lord and Savior for eternity! Come and show those who lack how to walk that walk better, to talk that talk better, live that life better, be holy better while overcoming obstacles coming in all directions.
When you find yourself in disagreement with anything, that’s your cue to step in and become a better example for others to see God in you.
If you reject that invitation speaking loudly within yourself already, then again reject the invitation to accept Christ as Lord and Savior openly, know this, you’ve also forfeit your right to place judgment on those struggling to get things right before God. Because you see, though imperfect they dare to try to make amends even if it’s not at perfection level they keep trying to get it right before God and man. Jesus Himself said He came for those who are sick, they recognize their ailment is in need of a remedy that only Jesus offers through God’s word and in the gift of Salvation so they came to Him. By God’s standards they’re doing very well still in keeping their trying faith under His grace because you see they know that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s grace yet they keep trying to get up from that fall to reach and cling to grace onto eternity.
You who haven’t tasted of God’s gift of Salvation through Jesus need not feel inferior to that which you lack to understand, just come to the fountain and drink from that fountain. There’s room for you too, you’ll begin to understand then what all the commotion has been about. You’ll be shocked to see how grand God’s love had been and still is. You’ll understand also that conversion is done once in life but repentance is constant because as you move on in the faith God begins to open your eyes to things that were buried deep within the depth of your mind’s heart to comprehend that that which you previously counted as right was far from it. You will know God’s truth and that is indeed the truth that will set you free!
I’m the perfect candidate to tell you these things because I’m a worm, a reject which found favor in God’s eyes through Jesus gift of Salvation. If He can find and save me, surely and truly God can do it for you too in Jesus name! I exhort you with all humility to seek and find Jesus as Lord and Savior because today even you need Jesus more than He needs you because, of your own free will and strength you cannot withstand nor will you be able to carry the burden of your great sins especially those which you forgot of that still causes others to suffer from. You have a duty toward them still to ask God to heal their hearts so they can continue their journey to Christ’s salvation too. Look within and fix within in order to help those on the road struggling. Don’t judge that which you know nothing of, first be learned and rightly informed of what God’s will for you is first then equip yourself to bring with you into God’s eternity a multitude of thirsty saved souls for the glory of God. While you’re doing so, watch your thoughts and comments towards God’s anointed souls because you see even if they’re broken, crooked, busted up from the floor up, filthy to the touch, smell or look, they belong to God and He’s working His masterpiece in them. That which was ugly one day will transform and beauty will surface but it’s not your job to do that with bashing. God has appointed His angels as heads of the sanctuary to tend to His temples, you, be still and know that the Lord is God, He will be exalted among the heathen and on earth!
I’m sure you would’ve preferred to hear these words from a more qualified source but unfortunately for you and fortunately for me God has honored me qualified through harsh experiences enough to share these words with you hence he gave the pen long ago.
May God bless you with His gift of salvation before life’s thread is cut or Jesus returns for you, for you too are valuable in the Master’s eyes. The Messiah awaits arms open wide to embrace you in His love. Your soul matters more so look within and make Godly changes that the world might benefit! Soon, Jesus will come as King to reign forever but for now He’d like to make of your heart His humble abode! Welcome Him!
