THEY PROFESS TO KNOW GOD BUT IN
WORKS THEY DENY HIM BEING ABOMINABLE, DISOBEDIENT AND DISQUALIFIED FOR EVERY GOOD
WORK..................TITUS 1:16. |
THE ABOMINABLE AND DISOBEDIENT ARE ONE.
Many say in this day and age they know God. And we are all aware
that there are multitudes of gods in the world today and those that are treated like gods,
idols and almighty all the way from the royals, movie stars, rock singers, christian rock
singers, porn stars, sports heroes, church leaders and builders, prosperity promoters and
even renovators and real estate locations down to the tiny tots competitions.........their
are many gods, my God's name is Jesus the Christ!
Many profess to know God yet worship, highly esteem, praise, hunger for, long for,
relish in, talk about and spend most of their time with one other than Jesus Christ. And
believe it or not most of these people are very skilled in the good works department. A
professing to know God and being ashamed of Jesus in your work place, home, public and
life is nothing short of nothing.............. ..............Matthew 10:32-42.
St Paul says that they said they knew God yet they were abominable and they were also
disobedient to God, they did not do what Jesus said..................Luke 6:46.....(click here).
Therefore although they did many good deeds / works they were disqualified from receiving
the benefits of their good works all because they did not do the first works which is to
love God first and foremost, this is the works of love......(click here).
Love or living in obedience to the victor emmanuel, if you love me and you say you love me
then do what I say says the lord. Now by this we know that we know him if we keep his
commandments...........1 John 2:3 (the labour of love)
St Titus was sent to set things in order, Titus 1:5. There were many insubordinate idol
talkers and deceivers about, especially those who claimed circumcision, the Judaics.
However these things were happening in the church, the new churches in Crete. The lack of
sound doctrine was the problem here just as it still is in today's churches. Jewish fables
and commands of men and women are all the go these days and the people love it so but what
will they do in the end.........Titus 1:13.
So will the abominable and the disobedient, those who do not obey the gospel of Lord Jesus
the Christ enter the kingdom of God?.........your answer is found in these
scriptures................2 Thessalonians 1:8, Revelation 21:8.
God Almighty never has expected the sinner to obey the doctrines of Christ for the simple
reason they have no power to do so. God expects sinners to repent and his people, saints,
disciples, church to..........obey the gospel of the Christ. The sinner in darkness has no
light to follow but the saint is in the light yet do we do the words or just read them
deceiving ourselves all the way to hell.....click here.
There are multitudes out there today who do good works / deeds but ask them to do
....the first works.....lovingly obey Jesus not because you have to but lovingly and
you will be like the man who gleaned vintage grapes just a berry here and a berry there
and that's berry sad...............Micah 7:1-7, Revelation 2:5.
Saved by grace alone, a doctrine that breeds irresponsible, unholy, rebellious,
disobedient, arrogant, sin ridden captives of men, women of the flesh and the devil satan................Hebrews
5:9...................
Amen.
