He that has not exalted his soul to vanity of idols and sin
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9 Do you not know
that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes
nor homosexual offenders
10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers
nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed,
you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
and by the Spirit of our God.
Galatians 5:19-21
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual
immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits
of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you,
as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of
God.
Hebrews 12:14
Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be
holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
God Did
“The Lord will arise
over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.”
Isaiah 60:2 NKJV
When we create a redeemer, we keep him safely distant in his
faraway castle. We allow him only the briefest of encounters with us. We permit
him to swoop in and out with his sleigh before we can draw too near. We
wouldn’t ask him to take up residence in the midst of a contaminated people. In
our wildest imaginings we wouldn’t conjure a king who became one of us. But God
did.
