Living a life of faith: Believe, obey and be humble
Everyone’s deeds will be judged according to what is written in the books (Rev 20:12), because the scriptures cannot be broken (Jn 10:35)
Jesus told us that the one who humbles himself will be exalted, and that we should take the least important seat at the wedding banquet (Lk 14:10-11). The morning star, son of the dawn (Isa 14:12-15), tried to set up his throne above the stars of God so that he could rise above even God. The guardian cherub of Eden called himself God (Eze 28). This act of exalting himself instead of God goes against God’s commandments and even opposes God. Today, within the Christian world, people buy pastoral licenses and doctoral degrees in theology. They bribe and lobby to gain power and authority as chairs of Christian associations and leaders of their denominations. How can we call them believers? Aren’t they supposed to believe and obey Jesus’ commandments? How can we call them humble? Where do pastors get all the money they use to bribe and lobby their way to the top? True believers try to obey Jesus’ words. If these pastors were true believers they would not misuse the money given by their congregations as they strive for ever greater power and authority.
Everyone’s deeds will be seen clearly at the time of judgment, just as if as one were looking in a mirror. Physical Israel did not enter their hope because they did not believe Jesus’ words and disobeyed him (Heb 3-4). Today, we must believe and obey. Let us not be afraid of persecution. Those who are persecuted will be blessed (Mt 5:12). Let us leave the place that is persecuting and move to the place that is persecuted. Doing that is the same as boarding the ark of salvation. This is the narrow gate and the difficult way that leads to life (Mt 7:13-14).
