Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Morality,
comes from The Lord, there is no morality outside of The Living God!
God and morality, are inseparable.
God gave Israel the Ten Commandments, a code of morality, not that
all morality is in the negative, for it is not. Love, and care of
one's neighbor etc. etc. was spoken of by our Lord. And then there
are the fruits of The Spirit.
Worldly so called good works, are stately houses of splendor, as so
it would seem, but WATCH OUT!
Matthew
7:24-29 KJV
24
Therefore whosoever heareth these saying of Mine, and doeth them, I
will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon A Rock.
25
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon A
Rock.
26
And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the
sand:
27
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people
were astonished at His doctrine:
29
For He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
How splendid many a house looks today, with their earthy high arches,
balconies, gables and all, and yet, our Savior, warns, when the time
of testing comes, The Truth will be known!
A garden of serpentine guidance, will be revealed to be, only cunning
and blatant evil. With sinister plans of the evil one, only in mind.
Rains, winds and floods will prove, to towering edifices of beauty,
there will remain nothing but rubble, when tested. Then only. too
late, for some, will the real Truth, be known.
There is no goodness outside of The Living God.
Matthew
7:21-23 KJV
21
Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord (Good
Works), shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.
22
Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name (Good Works)?
and in thy name have cast out devils (Good
Works)? and in thy name done many wonderful works (Good
Works) ?
23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me,
ye that work iniquity.
“ I never knew you” No
personal relationship with The Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians
2:8,9 KJV
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves (Works):
it is The Gift Of God:
9
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Titus
3:5,6 KJV
5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of The Holy Ghost;
6
Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
Many today are under the assumption, that their Good Works, will save
them, but sadly, thee answer is that they have built their eternal
destiny upon the shifting sands of deception.
Hebrews
9:27 KJV
And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Ezekiel
18:4 KJV
Behold,
all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of
the son is Mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
And why, oh why have they been so sentenced to eternal judgment? They
have been because of one thing and one thing only, they were “never
willing,” to bow the knee in repentance to The Lord Jesus,
Christ, confessing and forsaking their sins, while
taking Jesus as Lord and Master, of their lives.
Proverbs
16:25 KJV
There
is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the
ways of death.
Jeremiah
17:9 KJV
The
heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can
know it?
Prayer:
Jeremiah
17:7 KJV
Blessed
is the man that trusteth in The Lord, and whose hope The Lord is.
