Subject: Tilling the Soil |
Bible Note: To properly "till the soil" the tiller must have the unction of the Holy Spirit within him. Many of great evangelistic services have seen thousands come to Christ only to walk away a short time later when the emotion, the hype wears off. Salvation requires a change. 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 (NASB) 16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. As a new creation the old is indeed passed away. We don’t worry if we were elected or not and we don’t worry if we can lose our salvation because we are new creations and as such are called to holiness. Willful sin is not an option of we fully love Christ. We are not yet perfect and may still sin but that is as Paul said something we fight not give into. Evangelism has become the game of numbers, how many did you get saved, instead of work Holy Spirit through man. That explains the state of the church in many situations filled with people that seek man’s leading, man’s intellect, man’s logic. It is a church that mocks those that endeavor to live Holy and Upright before God. It is a church that quotes man injecting doctrine found nowhere in scripture. |
