Are We Ready to Enjoy our Future?

Many people are scared of the future because things are So Bad in our world today that they sense what might happen. It is like what happens in a home which is full of difficult to replace valuable ornaments and one of them is accidentally shattered by the disobedience of a kid, and his brother tells him to prepare for the reprimand which is probably the size of the value of the piece. Of course we have different values, the monetary and the sentimental which sometimes is greater, although we could think that “hurting” a child on account of an object is worse. Some would do the reprimand one for the education benefit so it is an asset to a most valuable property as our heavenly Father does. (Prov. 3.12) Speaking of sentimental value, we should consider what we –as creatures of a good and loving God who gave up His heavenly throne to rescue and redeem us for our sin debt against the Father, especially who know Him and are His children– should do to defend Him of a sacrilege in order to obstruct His will. Should we accuse them? Is it right to judge them? We know their sentence if they do not repent, for it is written in God’s Word about them: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men . . . And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and though they know the ordinance of God that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. (Romans 1.18a, 28-32) Does it sound familiar? I’ve heard “people” feel sorry for the ones, who are doing exactly that without repentance, and those trying to condone them by making them feel accepted, reason why some have made a nativity scene with two moms, but that’s blasphemy. I feel sorry for them too and want them to live. God warns us what’s not to be done to live eternally with our loved ones that even passed away because we all will rise up again for good or for bad, eternally. That’s why I cry for the ones who listen to the counsel of the wicked (even if they wear a saint’s robe.) But, thanks God there’s still forgiveness for all who repent now. I’d like to share what I read today from a prophet for all those who want to take advantage of the promise of life eternal since we’re still in the grace period: Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. “Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for my own sake, AND I WILL NOT REMEMBER YOUR SINS (Isaiah 43.18, 19,25) Blessed Be the name of the Lord!!!
