The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Resurrection and the Life, #9

Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world." (Matthew 25:34)

The remainder of the people, no doubt the vast majority (God did not create billions of people with the idea in mind of throwing almost all of them into eternal agony) will then be brought into the new world of righteousness and given a portion of Christ. Everyone in the new world will be part of the resurrection of Christ. God and Christ will be in each one.

This great multitude of people, whom I have just mentioned (those who are saved at the last judgment, the sheep nations), constitute the inheritance of Jesus Christ and His co-heirs. They are the people whom the royal priesthood will govern, bless, teach, judge, chasten, and love. If it were not for the nations of saved people we would have no inheritance. I guess we would sit in Heaven for eternity and discuss the weather. This would be boring after three hundred years, particularly if there were no weather worth discussing.

The bottom line is this: You, dear reader, are determining your eternal destiny by your actions today. Grace and mercy will never affect the Kingdom law of sowing and reaping. Grace and mercy enter now and help us change what we are sowing

Grace and mercy do not enable a wicked person to reap eternal life. Rather they are available to the wicked individual so he or she may be forgiven and then turn away from the wickedness in order to enter eternal life.

Obviously we are in great need of a reformation of Christian thinking because, according to the Scriptures, multitudes of Christian people are not going to appear with Christ because they have not made Him their life. They have chosen instead to live according to their sinful nature, trusting in an unscriptural "grace" to insure their entrance into Heaven.

The majority are ignorant concerning the realities of the Day of Resurrection, supposing they will be caught up to Paradise in an unscriptural "rapture" apart from the moral change that always is necessary if we are to have fellowship with God.

It is time for the American Christians to repent and begin to keep the commandments of Jesus Christ and His Apostles. (from The Resurrection and the Life)
