Our life is the testing period for eternity. By the things we do now, we are in the process of making our life a blessing or wasting our life by indifference, slothfulness, and selfishness. What will it be? The choice is ours. Ephesians 5:1-10; 14-18. Would you fill your cup with your favorite drink and that cup be tainted with spoiled ingredients? Neither can you be filled with the Holy Spirit if you are full of that which is against God.
What we do in this life has a serious effect on others, 2Co 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;...." "terror" = but being conscious of the need to fear the Lord. We persuade people to remember the scripture, 2Ti 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. This is a word of warning to the saved about the character of Christ, in that He will be just an faithful in holding us accountable for unbelief; as He is in rewarding us for our faithfulness. I t is something to be respected to fall into the hands of a living God, Heb. 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Please understand that all Christ accomplished on the cross you were in included in that work of grace! The truth is established in the Word of God, that in every way and in the provision of the cross, you are in included in the finished work of Christ. 1Co 1:30-31 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
