Subject: WHAT MADE LOT A RIGHTIOUS MAN? |
Bible Note: But if we are so much like Lot then we excuse ourselves too much.For "if ye be Christs then are we Abarahams SEED.." Thus we are to follow Abraham not Lot! For as I pointed out He walked by SIGHT and not by faith. He was COUNTED rightous but how much of the righousness that had been IMPuTED to him was manifested? if the rightousness that was imputed to Him for Christ sake was then became imparted rightousness by the Holy Spirit then that rightous soul would have rebuked the wicked conversation and he wouldm have had the virtue to do so. For we are to "add to our faith virtue" Thus rightousness is imputed through faith in Jesus Christ. But to manifest that rightousness it has to be imparted by the Holy Ghost.To enable us to act rightously. You cant do this by walking by sight. I dont dispute that Lot got out.I said he was dragged out. meaning he was reluctant to go! Lot course went downward.albeit he was saved but only his soul.Look how much he lost. Abraham albeit made serios errors yet he learned from them and his course was always upward. A buisnes chart or graph goes up and down. But there is a trend either up or down. which way are we? I am not arguing for falling flat on our face and God mercyfully picking us up again. Albeit the scriptures say the rightous fall seven times but always gets up (i think) But the wicked fall and rise not up. Im saying that Jesus said that as in the days of Lot sO SHALL IT BE IN THE LAST DAYS or before the Son of man shall come. Now the general regard is to see the wicked and the sin of excees leaisure and bread. But that may comfort the church overmuch. Because there is a message for the church as well at ease in Zion and over fed. Which generaly speaking is walking by sight and not by faith that cometh by understanding the Word of God. Thus we are sleep walking almost anmd unaware of how late the hour is. Daniel by the scriptures percieved the hour in which he lived that the time for the deliverence of isreal was at hand. Well by the self same scriptures the time is at hand for the translation of the bride. But she is NOT ready!!!!!!!!! But she is like in the song of soloman too taken up with her adornments and the like and her groom is OUTSIDE knocking at the door\!]rev 2)? Lot is no person to follow it is ABRAHAM we should seek to emulate for we are ABRAHAMS SEED. not Lot. gerald |
