Happy Passover - Put Christ's Real Gospel Before Your Charities
This Passover season, let's take a step back from all our works to remember the salvific work of our Master Jesus Christ. His worldwide Church is collectively in danger of replacing salvation doctrine with works of charity, and it shouldn't be that way. The Worldlings who darken our door might see some love in a free lunch, but we are not waiters of tables, and they need more healthy food.
Many of us explicitly refuse to tell them they are bound for Hell because of what they are, and they are trapped in troubles because of what they are, but there is a Way to be delivered from that! There is a way for you to connect the physical with the spiritual by telling them that their addictions and lusts and all their sins make them weak and sick and, finally, forever consciously dead in misery. Hell is the natural, right environment for humanity, and we can't work our way out of that reality. Without the shedding of blood, there can't be any remission of sin. God looked on the Earth for someone to shed his blood to cover the sin of humanity, and He didn't find any single person fit for the job, so that's why He had to send His only natural son to Earth in a human body to die for our sins, and so the true gospel goes:
Believe Master Jesus 1) died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures' prophecies of it which were given beforehand and the descriptions of it that were recorded afterward, then 2) He was buried, then 3) He was resurrected by God on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and then 4) He was seen afterward by Peter, the Disciples, over 500 brothers at once (most of whom were still alive and could be questioned at the time when Paul wrote to the Corinthian congregation this formulation of salvation doctrine that he learned), then Jesus was seen by James, the Apostles and by Paul, and, believing those four particular things, let them drive you to the natural act of calling on the name of the Master to be saved by confessing with your mouth Master Jesus, because a person is saved by verbal confession. But how can we call on the real Jesus, and not a pseudo-Jesus, unless we believe in that Jesus Who did ALL the work of salvation (those 4 beliefs)? Or: According to Romans 10:14a, believe 1 Corinthians 15:3b-8 and do Romans 10:9-13.
This is not the same thing as progressively being kind to someone to bring them out of soulish or physical disease and to prepare them (as a common excuse goes) to hear this gospel. What about those who won't progress out of their diseases? Can't they hear it? Yes. They should hear it. And you shouldn't rob yourselves of seeing the miracle which is salvation when God revivifies their spirits by this gospel and they stand ready to change the rest, sometimes in extraordinary time. Don't prepare them with the kindness of free sandwiches and counseling more than you give them your deeply loving gift of telling them the real gospel. Then they can know how to be saved in whatever state they are in when God calls to them and however their stomachs rumble when they hear His voice and believe and confess and are saved in their lowly state.
After that, give them daily support, ..if they're true widows and have nobody else to help them, and, even then, if they're known for good works! That's what the Bible says about daily support by the congregation. You can still do charitable acts here and there, because of your new desires by what you have become by this same gospel, but those works, even greater than the ones you started out doing, are nothing without the loving work of straightforwardly telling them the situation. It only takes a few minutes, so what will you answer when God asks you why you waited years and still never told the majority of those Worldlings how to be saved (God doesn't want anybody to die!) after you successfully lured them to your door with food?! Put Christ's real gospel before your charities, and let Him burn away the flesh that caused you to think they were the same thing.
Let's have a really happy Passover, remembering His great work together with all those who will be His by Christ's gospel.
