“The lip of truth shall be established for ever:but a lying tongue is but for a moment.”
Proverbs 12:19
The officer tells you that you have two options. You can either repent or await condemnation when Jesus, the head officer of God’s Law, returns.
You are wondering if the first option is real because you have forgotten that you serve a merciful God who looks down on us with mercy no matter how many people we have killed and condemned with our tongue alone. You’ve forgotten that the Holy Lamb was slain in your place, granting you the grace to repent.
Friend, God is not blind to the ills of society.
I mean the gossip blogs and magazines manipulate personal situations of famous people and kick the door open for the world to chime in with their tongue as a weapon. News sources we watch and read tell us many stories for ratings rather than the truth.
God is not blind. And it is by grace that you can see the sins all around you, and the ones on your own hands so you can repent and seek forgiveness.
The temptation to utter sin and partake in it, is indeed overwhelming. But Glory be to God for grace to conquer temptation. God’s word in Psalm 78 vs 36, reminds us that,
They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.”
The hype and hot stories are indeed but for a moment, but the sins we commit as part of a condemning society is written in the book of remembrance. We’ve got to repent.
Admittedly, I personally used to be one who proclaimed that celebrities pledged their lives to the public when they decided to be famous…May God forgive me for not knowing better.
When a person, famous or not does something that society frowns upon, what place do we have to condemn those that God did not condemn?
How does it honor God when we judge and analyze the behavior of others that we deem inappropriate?
That’s God’s job and He who still reigns did not hand us a gavel of judgement to condemn the fallen. He will shew mercy on whom He chooses.
We run to God a billion times seeking forgiveness and mercy for the wrongs we commit against others and ourselves. We ought to run to God interceding for all his children!
Never forget that mercy and grace saved me and you.
Friend, the spirit is compelling in the fight for the children of God.
All of God’s children will be defended against the enemy, as we are to pray for those who are blinded by the world and are yet to see the glory of God in the land of living.
The officer packs up his tools of justice but leaves you with the evidence of your crimes so you can decide. So what will you choose friend?
I pray to God the Father that in his infinite mercy and grace, your eyes are opened wider than they’ve ever been today for you to see the many sins at the tip of your tongue. May God Almighty wash you clean with the blood of the lamb who first washed away your sins at Calvary. May you be taught and guided by the Holy spirit to speak life and love as you walk the earth towards purpose in Jesus name. Amen.
