| Lesson 72: The Law of The Old Testament That Is Covered In The New Testament: No Heavy Burdens 4/4/2014 by turtle Matthew 11:28-30 KJV (28) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. The Spiritual warfare of our soul is more deadly then any other kind of death. Spiritual death is the final sentence to the eternal lake of fire. A place of torment without in not even for another day of judgment, for judgment and execution of judgment never leaves the pit of eternal lake of fire where even hell cast into. Remember a continual place of judgment one will find no rest. Yet to be in the hands of God and Christ Jesus one should be able to find rest, because they are no longer lead by the things of this world but by Holy Spirit. If one obeys the Holy Spirit one finds a place of rest for this life and life to come. To be obedience to the will of God because you love God (Father, Son, And Holy Spirit) and not because of force labor, you will find yourself in content of all things. Jesus said to come all meaning everyone no matter who they were they would and could find rest for the soul. His commands were not heavy. Trying to obey the Old Testament Covenant might seem impossible task in today’s society. Obeying God in certain groups might seem impossible. Yet loving and respecting others is what we need to do. To love beyond measure. See the yoke Christ gave He also provided us with the power to do it. The power to forgive the power to love and the power to not walk as the heathens do. Yet for some that get saved it is still a process of getting rid of the old habits. Yet upon salvation you are not walking around with a clean slate with God. A clean slate of forgiveness from sin. The yoke of sin that was weighing you down is gone. You no longer have to worry about God judgment for sin. You might need to worry about His correction, yet even his correction after salvation is not burdensome, in truth those things that God wants to change in your life, is to make your life better. God is not a task master, Jesus commanded us to simply to trust and obey. To trust God if one is in danger takes faith. To trust God in time of prosperity takes faith. Yet one will know what is to have Jesus by their side 24/7. Know what is to be safe all day long not worrying about if they are good enough for God. Jesus is a gentle shepherd leading us down the crooked path with steep cliff on one side and a devil steep embankment on the other. There is a reason not to climb a steep embankment it not meant to be climb when a path is clearly seen. One might fall and hurt themselves going up, or find themselves like Jack and Jill who had a great fall who were trying to get to the wishing well, and the not the well of life. The simple fact is God grace is sufficient, the yoke Jesus lays on us is light if we will follow the path He designed for us. That yoke one of rest for the soul, a place of unending salvation for the soul upon belief in Christ Jesus and if we have faith then our action should speak it. Jesus paid the price for our sins with His death on the cross. Our burdens are laid upon the cross and taken away upon belief and we are given new life through Christ resurrection from the grave. Dear Heavenly Father I am a sinner and I believe Christ died for me. I ask you to forgive me of all my sins and I receive your forgiveness upon belief. Fill me with your Spirit so that I may walk in your ways. In Jesus precious name, Amen. If you prayed this and meant it you are saved today and for eternity, go and sin no more. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
