“Inward Hostility”

 “Inward Hostility”

 

For God in ALL His fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through Him God reconciled everything to Himself.  He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s Blood on the cross.    Colossians 1:19-20

 

The reconciliation of mankind is NECESSARY because mankind is born with a SINFUL nature.  They naturally have the desire to sin.  It is NOT the OUTWARD acts (sins) that causes INWARD HOSTILITY, but it is the alienation between man and God from the very FIRST sin.  Sin is the OUTWARD SIGN of the INWARD HOSTILITY between mankind and the HOLY GOD.  And the HOLY GOD DEEPLY DESIRED an act of RECONCILIATION because of the DEEP LOVE that God had/has for the CROWN of His CREATION, which is MANKIND.

 

So, God in ALL His FULLNESS was PLEASED to LIVE in Christ, and through this act of RECONCILIATION we have the OPPORTUNITY to have that INWARD HOSTILITY and being ALIENATED from the ALMIGHTY GOD REMOVED and REPLACED with GOD’S FORGIVENESS and His PEACE and ASSURANCE of our SALVATION by the BLOOD of His SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the ONLY ONE who could bring RECONCILIATION between GOD and MANKIND.  Are you enjoying that RECONCILIATION?  

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD through the CLEANSING process of the BLOOD of JESUS then you do NOT HAVE that RECONCILIATION, but you do have an INWARD HOSTILITY towards God and His RULES, PLANS and PURPOSES for you.  And because of that INWARD HOSTILITY, and the SINS that go with it, you are destined FOR an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there. God is giving you an OPPORTUNITY NOW to: ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who SUFFERED, BLED, AND DIED for YOU.  BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS did DIE for YOU and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for YOU, before God.  Confess YOUR SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and get RID of that INWARD HOSTILITY, and be able to have an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
