“The Testmony”

 “The Testimony”

 

Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD and have not faltered.  Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind, for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.   Psalm 26:1-3

 

If YOU were put on TRIAL for being a CHRISTIAN, would they have enough evidence to prove you were GUILTY??   The Psalmist, David, implores upon the LORD GOD, to VINDICATE or DECLARE him INNOCENT of being a part of those who do EVIL.  So, he goes before the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, and testifies that he has ACTED with INTEGRITY, which is HOLDING to MORAL and ETHICAL principles, something that is hard to find in this day and time.  However, David goes on with his testimony that he has TRUSTED the LORD GOD without WAVERING.  

 

David, then implores the LORD GOD to TEST him, and to TRY him, and EXAMINE His HEART and his MIND.  In other words, David was asking God to put him on TRIAL, and CROSS-EXAMINE him.  David had CONFIDENCE that he WAS innocent of being a part of the WICKED.  Of those things, David was INNOCENT.  

 

But on the other hand, David was GUILTY of being connected with the LORD GOD.  He admits that he had ALWAYS been AWARE of God’s UNFAILING LOVE and that he TRUSTED in the LORD, without WAVERING.  He also ADMITTED that he RELIED on GOD’S FAITHFULNESS.  Then David ends his TESTIMONY with:  “ I wash my hands to DECLARE my INNOCENCE. I come to YOUR ALTAR, O LORD, SINGING a SONG of THANKSGIVING and TELLING of ALL your WONDERS.  I LOVE Your SANCTUARY, LORD, the PLACE where Your GLORIOUS PRESENCE dwells.”  

 

Could YOU declare your INNOCENCE of NOT being a part of those who do EVIL?  And TESTIFY that you have acted with INTEGRITY, and TRUSTING in the LORD GOD without WAVERING?  Can you TESTIFY that you are ALWAYS AWARE of GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE and LIVE RELYING on His FAITHFULNESS?  

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, through the DEATH, BURIAL, and RESURRECTION of His Only Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then you really don’t have a TESTIMONY, nor are you INNOCENT of being a part of doing EVIL in God’s Sight.  And you cannot claim to be GUILTY of having a RELATIONSHIP with the HOLY RIGHTEOUS GOD.  And your DESTINY, NOW, is spending your ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  But the ALMIGHTY GOD has a plan for YOU.  He really wants you to SPEND your ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  So, this is what you MUST DO in order to have FORGIVENESS of your SINS, and to GAIN HEAVEN as YOUR ETERNAL HOME. You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS. Then you MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And then, ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and have a TESTIMONY that will make YOU GUILTY of a TRUE RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD and will sentence you to an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  Jesus is WAITING and  COMING SOON!!!
