Men and women say, “I have understood.  There is no truth but what I have understood.  And if I have not understood the entirety of truth, how can I be blamed?”

Have you approached God?  Have you asked for understanding?  Or did you simply accept your own wisdom as the sum of possibilities?   You live in a land of lies.  Yet God has provided truth among men.  There will be absolutely no excuse given to anyone.

“I understand love as I have understood it and this is sufficient.  I have dressed myself in what is acceptable among men.  I will find mercy for the coming day of God.  I will be acceptable, for I have gained what can be gained among men.”

God is Holy.  He has not created us to be unholy.  He is complete and righteousness never ending.  We are called to join Him in this eternal Righteousness.  But you do not even ask.  How will you be acceptable before His Holy fire of purity?

“Love is but an emotion and desire of the body.  My soul, as you might call it, craves to be fulfilled.  That craving is sufficient.  I will feed it until it is healthy and vibrant.  My craving is the measure of what is good for me.”

You crave what is of the body.  But God is eternal Spirit.  You crave what is filthy.  But God is pure and Holy.  You do not fight against the bodily lusts.  You feed them.  You do not even question your understanding.  How will willful ignorance be acceptable before God, who is so willing to share what is true and unshakable?

There is a place of calling.  All men are called, compelled, to appear before God.  It will surely come that you will enter into His Holy presence.  If you will not do it here, you will surely do it on that day of judgment.  There will be no lying lips to hide behind.  There will be no clothing, arranging of hair, makeup, expensive trinkets, money, fame, position, or blindness to hide behind.  His Holy fire of purity will bathe all in truth.  What is shakable will be shaken.  Nothing impure will endure His blazing test. 

Regardless whether you believe these words or not, you will surely appear before Him.

Jesus has been sent among us to provide the help we need to leave these foolish lusts and become acceptable before His Father.  But you have not even inquired into this ready help.  How will you be acceptable?  You accept the validity of the lies of man before you will consider these words valid.  How shall you be acceptable?

By His Grace.
