DAY 139 OF 365
2 PETER 3:14
In today's HOLINESS CHALLENGE, I challenge you to MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SEE THAT CHRIST JESUS FINDS YOU WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH WHEN HE RETURNS TO TAKE HIS CHURCH.
MANY are CALLED, but FEW are CHOSEN.
Not every 'CHRISTIAN' is anticipating the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today's scripture addresses every TRUE BELIEVER who is anticipating the second coming of our Lord Jesus and looking forward to experience the NEW HEAVEN and the NEW EARTH, when Christ will come and set up His Kingdom with all Saints reigning with Him.
What a glorious moment it will be!
To be found in PEACE means that you have a PEACEFUL RELATIONSHIP with God and men.
You don't keep malice or hold grudges against people, you forgive readily and you have no ENEMIES.
You can't be at PEACE with God when you have your fellow brothers or sisters as ENEMIES.
Be an Agent of Peace and a Peacemaker, not a sower of discord amongst brethren.
"Follow PEACE with ALL men, and HOLINESS, without which, no man shall see the Lord."
This is a command, not a plea.
Only those who obey this injunction are qualified to see Him.
Just like the old testament era, God gave specific instructions in the Book of Leviticus about the kind of sacrifices the High Priest would offer to Him in the temple, the animals for sacrifice must be such that have no blemish or fault.
God demonstrated His love for SPOTLESSNESS when He sacrificed His ONLY begotten son WHO HAD NO SIN. It follows therefore that if you MUST come and join Him in Heaven, you must also offer up yourself as Apostle Paul recommended in Romans 12:1,
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
This sacrifice MUST be SPOTLESS and ACCEPTABLE to God, the BEST service you can ever render to yourself.
IF JESUS WERE TO COME TODAY, WILL HE FIND YOU SPOTLESS AND BLAMELESS?
DEAL WITH THOSE SPOTS TODAY SO THEY DON'T DEAL WITH YOU AND DENY YOU ETERNITY WITH CHRIST AT LAST.
