Opposition

There are those who proclaim a God ‘who loves us all.’ And they are of course correct. However, they fail to add that there is none of us who can stand before the Holy God, and only those who accept Jesus substitutionary death on their behalf, who repent, become disciles and receive his Holy Spirit, and Follow their Lord will be accepted on the day we stand before him. This is iportant to mention as far too many ignore the finished work of Jesus.

Today, many who stand for biblical marraige, and in churches and church schools and colleges, are being strongly opposed by those who wish to ‘include’ all before God. The position is unacceptable according to those who wish to accept ungodly sex activity as permissible before God, the bible states clearly this is not the case. Therefore, opposition is found among those calling themselves ‘Christian’ when ‘Christian truths’ are stated before ‘Christians.’

This opposition is to be met, not withn fear but with understanding and love, and acceptance that the Lord is always with those who follow him. In Matt 10:Jesus warns his men that opposition will come as they state the good news. In family, town and village, many will strongly oppose the message God has sent to them, the cross of Christ. Those who stand for Jesus in any way will find opposition at home, in work, in shops, in the media and all this while fighting fears, doubts and sins within. However, Jesus states God knows every sparrow that falls, he knows the number of hairs on your head, he cares for you and is with you always. On the day you stand before him he will give you his reward, are we following, preaching and serving him, or the world around us?

Am I?
