The Concept of Holy

by

0


“Holy” presents itself among the masses of men.  It has done so since the beginning of Man.  And it has no intention of turning away.  The reaction to that concept today, is the same as it was in the beginning of Man, it has not changed at all.

Present the concept of holiness to anyone, now watch their response.  If you witness the response of Man to the concept of holiness from a remote position, it could be humorous.  But there’s nothing funny about the death of a soul.

I remember when I first understood the concept of holiness.  I was in my early thirties.  I saw my own reaction and was surprised.  I had been taught, just like the rest of all people, to turn away from the concept by trying to trivialize it.  Everywhere I looked people were willing to push God into opinion.  And only a handful would even dare debate the issue.  That state of affairs has not changed.

People are willing to debate anything (Absolutely anything), “but let us leave this concept of holiness untouched”.  But I can’t, my friends.

Since I was a child, I learned that if there is something the majority of people hate, it is likely the very thing that I should investigate.  And in the process of investigation into the concept of holy, I found an unspeakable and astounding sin.  By ignoring what is holy, Man spits in the face of his Creator.  How can that possibly turn out well?

Now I look around me.  What do I see?  Sports, movies, games, relationships, sex, violence, politics, education, apparel, housing, luxury, trade, everything that a man can imagine, except holiness.

3 Day Old Mashed Potatoes

A man may follow some horrible passion that lands him in jail, yet there are always people who are willing to embrace him as a brother of flesh when he gets out.  He may commit some social taboo, in which he loses all his friends.  Yet there will be many who are willing to embrace him as a brother of flesh.

But the one who desires to have only conversations regarding God and his Holy Son, will find himself cast away like three day old mashed potatoes.  Those who are willing to embrace him, are exceedingly far between and few.

With a distinct lack of interest for the things of this world, the one who speaks of God is of no earthly value.

That’s not just conjecture.  That’s personal testimony.

But I will also testify that the friendship of Christ Jesus is more than sufficient for the one who is cast away because of his Holy name.

God Provides the Way Out

We are not well-intentioned beings.  Even a lot of Christians believe that Man is simply misguided.  “If you explain his misbehavior to him, the wayward soul will rectify his life.”  That’s what the leaders of humanism will tell you.  That’s what the atheist would love to believe, if he had any proof.  Isn’t that the reason for the popular saying, “LIVE UNITED“?

The teaching that we are simply misguided by lack of knowledge, is simply and thoroughly untrue.  If it were true that man was simply a misguided and under educated being, there would have been many communes filled with really nice people  that still exist today.  But that’s not the case is it?

Even Christianity, that religion which is supposed to have the guidance of the Most High God’s Holy Son, is filled with turmoil and unholy behavior.  If man could be successful at establishing a beautiful populous, it would have happened within the first century after the birth of Christianity, and you would be able to find it today.

The problem is, God’s Word is true: even the best of our well-intentioned righteousness is no better than filthy rags.  We not only obey as if under duress for the threat of death or punishment, we invent wicked pleasures from our imagination.  And we do it all the time.

That is why the majority of the things I have written, by His grace, are pointed at the wickedness of Man.  God did not send his Holy Son to pat the righteous people on the back.  The Holy Father sent His only Son to mankind to deliver three messages.
1. Every man is already condemned to destruction before the Lord God Almighty.  All that’s left is to arrive on the Judgment Day to receive the condemnation.

2. The Holy Father has sent his Son as The Teacher of holiness.  He taught as many as would listen when he was here in bodily form.  And he teaches those who believe in Him through the Holy Spirit even today.

3. God caused his beautiful Son to become a Living Sacrifice for any who will claim his strength instead of their own.  For those who are willing to believe this message, God has loved us beyond words.  He has loved us to the very death of his only Holy Son.  And that at the very hands of those the Lord Jesus was sent to help.

If you can’t believe this message, your status before the Most High God does not change.  God the Father has offered up his only Son for your benefit, what more do you expect him to do?

Do you expect him to recieve you just like you are?  Well isn’t that the message I just wrote above?  Do you expect him to receive you because you are a righteous and good hearted person?  How does that stack up to what I just told you?

God has sent His Son to redeem the wicked depravity that is every single man’s filthy soul.  All you have to do is humble yourself and pray.  If you are willing to listen to him, he will transform your life from depravity to holiness.  Jesus is able and willing to offer eternal life to any who will trust him.

A man once said to me, “l don’t need Jesus.  I’ll take my chances at the judgment”.  The problem is, Sir, there is no such thing as “chances” on the Judgment Day.

Predominant Religion

Where a man invest his money is where you find his religion.  Where he invests his time, there is his religion.  A man will worship those two things, and they will direct the course of his life.

What is a primary religion of the United States?  It may not be what you think.  Take a look at these rough stats.

5680 hospitals in the US.

Nearly 27,000 outpatient clinics.

Over 4 billion drug prescriptions are written every year.

Over 3 trillion dollars is spent every year on health care.

319 million population of the US.

It is estimated 320,000 attend church regularly.

That leaves three hundred eighteen million six hundred eighty thousand outside the church.

When the Son of Man returns, will he find “The Faith” on this earth?
