 “Obedience Motivated by Love”

 

But by FAITH we EAGERLY await through the Spirit the RIGHTEOUSNESS for which we HOPE.    Galatians 5:5

 

The Galatians were being deceptively taught to obtain their OWN righteousness by OBEDIENCE to the LAW, which is the WORK of the FLESH. However, the Apostle Paul insisted that JUSTIFICATION ONLY comes by FAITH in JESUS CHRIST, God’s Only Son.

It was by FAITH that the APOSTLE PAUL, himself, along with other fellow believers EAGERLY AWAITED the BLESSED HOPE of RIGHTEOUSNESS.  Our SALVATION is NOT GIVEN to US because of what we do or have done, but it solely rests upon our OBEDIENCE by FAITH and NOT of OURSELVES.  And brought to us through the HOLY SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD, the One who sent His BELOVED SON to SUFFER, BLEED, and DIE, then RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE.

So, what really matters is FAITH —a CONTINUAL TRUST in JESUS CHRIST that is expressed through LOVE and OBEDIENCE. That is the ONLY WAY we can EAGERLY WAIT for OUR HOPE of RIGHTEOUSNESS.  Which will come about throughout the earth during the MILLENNIAL REIGN of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.   Are YOU EAGERLY AWAITING the RETURN of the LORD JESUS CHRIST?

When you feel a tugging on your HEART-STRINGS, and you are feeling REALLY BAD about your LIFE-STYLE, FEELING GUILTY.  It could very well be the HOLY SPIRIT of God bringing CONVICTION on your HEART and letting YOU KNOW that it is TIME to GIVE your HEART and LIFE to GOD, through His Son, JESUS, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!  This is what YOU MUST DO to be RAPTURE READY. First, ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR.  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.  You MUST 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, because; It is by GRACE you are SAVED, through FAITH—and this is NOT from yourself, it is the GIFT of GOD, NOT by WORKS, so that no one can BOAST.  (Ephesians 2:8-9) We know NOT when Christ will RETURN to get His PEOPLE, the TRUE BELIEVERS, so, do the above NOW while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!! Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
