GOD'S Sabbath Rest

Heaven's Homecoming

       One day, Jesus Christ will publicly proclaim before all of Creation: “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” Jn.17:24

       A concise treatise of answers to the cry of the human heart has been the dedicated work of our LORD Jesus Christ from the beginning. This was accomplished in part by His providing man with the True Encyclopedia of Life: the Holy Bible. The Sacred Scriptures present the available choices for all of life's decisions, while always allowing for one's personal freedom in the choices that are made. For when people are shown what is truly available to them, the human heart naturally gravitates to the best of those choices. Back at the fall of man, GOD gave to the human family a profound sense of gravitation to righteousness to give His children a fighting chance (Gen.3:15). But along with His tugs of love on the heart is the call to action. And with the Enemy of Souls tempting the minds of men 24/7, it takes a concerted effort to “hold your course” in the godly decisions that are made. But developing perseverance will carry over into every aspect of your life's work and your relationships whether of family, friends, or the marriage bond.

       GOD has provided the detailed knowledge of His government that promotes the security of life, not its degradation, through the uplifting Truth found in the plain unmistakable absolutes of GODS Word. There is nothing omitted from the Bible whereby man is left in the darkness of misapprehension, as Jesus said, "Behold, I have foretold you all things." Mk.13:23. It is only through the arrogant ignorance of men who pervert not only the character of GOD revealed in the life of Jesus Christ but also the method by which the Bible is clear whereby one receives and maintains the Presence of GOD'S Spirit. And only through the power of the Holy Ghost can a man be raised to life, as it is written, "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall also raise your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." Rom.8:11. But there's another spirit, a deceiving working to lure all people away from the bedrock of the Bible's guidelines; and only the literate Bible student can discern which voice is which.

       I know your weaknesses and you know mine. We all know each other's fundamental weakness. All of us face the temptations of life whether for hunger, cold, loneliness, neglect, and selfishness. Were in this dilemma together. And while my weaknesses may be different than yours, every temptation is custom tailored by the devils themselves to work our mutual destruction. So, let us love one another through GOD’S love for us, for Jesus died for every man not just the few who “overcome.” GOD commanded our unity to serve one another regardless of personal tastes and burdens, even as the often painfully incompatible marriage, where the husband and wife choose to remain together for the moral happiness and peace of their children. So we must work together for the mutual benefit of the life GOD created—on the foundation of His Holy Law: the Law that commanded our salvation: the Law that guarantees the restoration of Eden: the Law where we are safe in one another's care: the Law that will be magnified throughout eternity: The Ten Commandments.
