The Pain is Gone. 1.
The Pain is Gone. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (1Jn 5:10-11) And this is the record that we are believers in the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Our life, weather it is a poor, or rich one, was empty of the things that we desired most and could not obtain. We receive by our faith in the Lord, faith in His Son, and Faith in His word, for without Faith, and Jesus, we can do nothing, we can receive nothing, and we can not accomplish anything. To those that are saved, is your life better, or worse, after accepting Jesus as Lord and Christ? To those that are considering Christ, is your life better off without Him? These are the questions that we must face in our decisions of this life, and the next. We who believe in the Lord have accepted our state in this life, which brings us peace and comfort. For no matter what we are dealing with the Lord may not keep us from these trials but He will most assuredly keep us threw them. He always makes a way for our escape when facing trials of our faith and the temptations in this life. There is no easy way to get from here to eternity, there are no get rich programs, there are no short cuts to Heaven, and there is no one that cares about you as much as the Lord. When I came to the full knowledge of Christ, I couldn’t wait for the next meeting of the Church. I had an overwhelming desire to tell Him all of my sins, and to ask that He would accept me as one of His own. Was I a success before Christ? Yes, but only in the world of men. I traveled from town to town, city to city, and from state to state, and could not find the happiness that I was seeking. I was in pain within myself, in my soul, and my spirit. I was blind and could not see, deaf and could not hear, and dumb and could not speak, I was alone in the midst of thousands. There was a great burden upon my shoulders. A longing to be free of all the pain and sin that had controlled my life for many years. And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? Or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I the LORD? (Exo 4:11) Who then could anyone turn to to be healed from this life of sin? Could they turn to their mother, father, sister, or brother, a neighbor maybe, or their employer? There is no one that we can trust nor turn to in this life that would be able to help us. This world cares for its own and no other. As a Christian we are separated from this life of men and have been translated into the Kingdom of Gods dear Son. For as it is written; “Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.” (Psa 94:8-14)pt.1. |
