Shining Faith (3)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witness, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1-2)
The first thing the Lord says is, “throwing off”. He tells us to throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. Also the Lord says that it is foolish to not organize things for us, who carry unnecessary things too much. Throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles! You only have one life and you’re about to run a marathon, but who’s running with heavy things on them?
But now, an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has come. Here comes the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to organize and stop. Right now, if you use the corona virus as an excuse, it will pass safely. No matter what you do, if you say it is related to Covid-19, everything works. When it comes to Covid-19, you can organize and change the direction as much as you want. Schools and the National Assembly stop when there are only Corona virus confirmed cases and even factories where billions of dollars are blown away with one rest stop when there are several Corona virus confirmed cases. Now is the moment of opportunity, perhaps a century or so. If you’re going to sort it out away, now is the time.
What should I organize? The scheme of the wicked, the path of sinners, and the seat of the scornful, which I was familiar with while living a life without God. To put it more simply, I kept doing it because of my ‘old feelings’ even though I knew it was definitely something I shouldn’t have done. I would recommend that you discard this. It is telling you to turn back from the road you asked yourself, ‘But what should I do?’ The way without faith, the way that strays from the faith of God’s Word, the way of self-seeking, and the way of wicked lies.
What more evidence do we need now? If you wait a little longer and something stronger that Corona comes, what will be different? There is only judgment. So now you have to look back. Now!
Get away from the position of the arrogant who shouldn’t be, where God should be, where I became the king and I became the master and decided my life. From the very place where I conclude, I dream, and I do not change terribly, God tells us to leave. Free yourself from the heavy things, the stumbling blocks, and the sin that so easily entangles, and live up to our spiritual standing. Sin is not a matter of great of small. Remember that you must forsake even the appearance of sin. (January 2021) <Continued> [Gospel Prayer News]
