A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN THOSE, WHOM HAVE SERVED GOD, AND WHO HAVE NOT! [SUBTITLE(HEATHY ADDICTION)

 Malichi 3:16-18 States:  At that time those who fear Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance was written before him+

 for those fearing Jehovah and for those meditating on* his name.+

17 “And they will be mine,”+ says Jehovah of armies, “in the day when I produce a special property.*+ I will show them compassion, just as a man shows compassion to his son who serves him.+ 18 And you will again see the distinction between a righteous person and a wicked person,+ between one serving God and one not serving him.?


               JESUS ILLUSTRATION EXPLAINED


      For many years, ones have often wondered:  "Will we ever find our way?"  According to Jesus' words in Matthew 36-43; Then after dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. His disciples came to him and said: “Explain to us the illustration of the weeds in the field.” 37 

In response, he said: “The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man; 38 the field is the world.+ As for the fine seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom, but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one,+ 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. 40 Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things.+ 41 The Son of man will send his angels, and they will collect out from his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and people who practice lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace.+ There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. 43 At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun+ in the Kingdom of their Father. Let the one who has ears listen.

            
                              A HEALTHY ADDICTION

               Keeping in line with the theme of this blog site, one must endeavor to break free from bad addictions, and develop a healthy one:  Now the works of the flesh are plainly seen, and they are sexual immorality,+

 uncleanness, brazen conduct,+ 20 idolatry, spiritism,+ hostility, strife,+ jealousy,+ fits of anger, dissensions, divisions, sects,+ 21 envy, drunkenness,+ wild parties, and things like these.+ I am forewarning you about these things, the same way I already warned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.+

22 On the other hand (, the healthy addition), the fruitage+ of the spirit is love, joy,+ peace,+ patience, kindness, goodness,+ faith, 23 mildness, self-control.+ Against such things there is no law. (GALATIANS 5:19-22 )


WORD!
