Richard Baxter, 1649Not about Salvation only, but Daily Together Life in Christ, in His Church!If there be so certain and glorious a rest for the saints, why is there no more industrious seeking after it? One would think, if a man did once hear of such unspeakable glory to be obtained, and believed what he heard to be true, he should be transported with the vehemence of his desire after it, and should almost forget to eat and drink, and should care for nothing else, and speak of and inquire after nothing else, but how to get this treasure. And yet people who hear of it daily, and profess to believe it as a fundamental article of their faith, do as little mind it, or labor for it, as if they had never heard of any such thing, or did not believe one word they hear.________________Found this to be very convicting to me. When I think of the many things I seek after daily sometimes with out much thought of HIM I truly begin to see how any thing if given a higher place of importance in my life above Jesus can and is an idol...God Blessmary
Good word Mary. Thank you.

Inspiring message, some of us need to hear that over and over. Why should I seek after anything? why must I labor for salvation when we're saved by grace through faith in Christ?Isn't that the general theme accross the board? Well I'm going to enjoy my life and do all these wonderful things that satisfies my fleash no matter what, because I believe. That's all I have to do is believe in him who lives in me right?Then I Will die and inherit a righteous kingdom, together with the harlot, sodomite and the godworshiper. After all we all believed. It's almost laughable ain't it? But It's not funny at all that grown people who profess to believe would fall for this kinda crap.
You will be judged by the law theEphah. I pray that you follow it exactly, for there is no forgiveness for you if you do not... by your own standards.Which one are you theEphah? The tax collector that beats his own chest, or the pharasee that doesn't want to be like that nasty little tax collector?
