The Standard of GOD.

10/31/2012

 

Thus He shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in His hand. And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. (Amos 7:7-9)

Just as a master craftsman measures twice for accuracy, so GOD has measured His people.  He has set the standard and Israel has been found wanting and as a disobedient and rebellious people is to be put to the sword of judgment and justice.   He is the standard and there is none righteous, for all have sinned and come short of the Glory of GOD.  No one measures up, and it is only by GOD's grace and mercy that we are offered a chance at redemption.  While there is still time now to repent and surrender to GOD on His terms, there is coming a day when there will be no more chances; either because of death, or the Lord's return.  He will judge all people against the Plumbline of His Word, and just as Israel was judged and destroyed; so will all those that have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ be separated from GOD forever in the second death. 

He is not willing that any should perish, but wants all to repent and come to the knowledge of the Truth.  He offers this free gift of salvation because He loves each and every one of us.  But we must repent and receive Him by Faith.  Faith in His Word, His finished work on the Cross of Calvary, and Faith that Jesus is who He says He is as GOD Himself.   Let today be your new birthday.

If you are one of those that is already forgiven and faithful, tell others of His love for them, that they might be saved.

In Christ,
