You Being Evil... Yes You!

 The Lord Jesus spoke to those unbelieving fathers of His day who were sincere and concerned about seeking their children’s well being in a dark and trying day. He stated these powerful words of rebuke and REALITY to these individuals - in particular fathers - to help them comprehend that the ETERNAL Father is entirely a better father then the dear sincere concerned earthly fathers of this fallen world. Jesus stated, “Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” (Matt. 7:9-11)

My dear friend, I LOVE that line from the Savior! Only by the Holy Spirit in objective TRUTH and REALITY can one comprehend the validity and sobering REALITY of what Christ is trying to convey to these fathers. “You being EVIL.” My dear friends apart from Almighty God’s saving grace we are transgressors of the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS absolutes of Almighty God and are outlaws and criminals before the courts of Heaven (Rom. 3:23, 10:2-4). Indeed we are “evil” (lawless) in Almighty God’s eyes without Christ, but how many “#1 Dad’s” fully comprehend what Almighty God is trying to reveal to them REALITY and His ETERNAL love (John 3:16-17, 1 John 4:10). Jesus was trying to help these fathers see outside the box of this fallen world and be objective in light of the Holy Law of God and see themselves as the Father sees them in their present estate (Isa. 1:18, Gal. 3:21-24).

Indeed we are “evil” in Almighty God’s eyes without Christ, but how many “#1 Dad’s” fully comprehend what Almighty God is trying to reveal to them REALITY and His ETERNAL love.

Oh my dear friend, you may be the best dad in the world and truly want the best that this fallen world has to offer children for the brief moments of time, but if you REJECT Almighty God’s saving Grace, which is found ONLY in the Person of Jesus Christ you damn yourselves and truly HATE your children. You deceive them with Satan’s ETERNAL damnable lie and are partakers in his godless rebellion (Matt. 7:21-23, 25:41). That “lie” being, we DO NOT need Almighty God’s PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS and REDEMPTION and we can live a vain existence without the God of ETERNITY (Rom. 10:2-4, Gal. 2:21).

My dear fathers and friends, Almighty God loves you and wants the best for you and your precious children. He sent His Son to die on the cross for your transgressions against Him and for Christ to be our propitiation and Savior (John 3:16-17, 1 John 4:10). Do not be a fool and dismiss REALITY, but be objective and receive it with your whole heart (John 1:12).

My dear fathers and friends, Almighty God loves you and wants the best for you and your precious children!

My friend, the father who truly seeks ONLY the will of Almighty God for his children in Spirit and Truth is truly the father who beyond a shadow of doubt loves his children (Matt. 7:24-25, Col. 1:9-14, 2 John 1:1-7, 3 John 1:2-4). All other human fallen, “love” is a damnable lie and a deception from the liar and deceiver of this fallen world (Matt. 24:26-27, John 8:44).

This day I pray that if you do not know the Savior in Spirit and Truth that you would be objective and have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying to you about Jesus Christ for you and your children (Rev. 22:17). My dear friends, May it be even so! May it be that you will become all that the ETERNAL Father would have you to be (Rom. 8:29)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
