To Know Him
by Sandra Lamb
As the Bible says: "while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not, for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Cor. 4:18)."
We can see our body and each other and express ourselves through it. Because we are dealing with a temporary body with a temporary life on this earth. But our soul is unseen and is eternal. Either with eternal life, or eternal death. Depending of course, whether you truly know Elohim or not.
For anyone can believe anything and not be completly right 100% percent of the time. And especially when it comes to our opinion about Elohim. Because no one is perfect, except for Elohim Himself. But since Elohim is perfect, because of Who He is, His opinion and word about Himself will be 100% accurate all of the time. And that is what is really valid.
For our own beliefs cannot save us, (unless founded upon Elohim‘s word) and get us into heaven, no matter how much we believe that we are right. But His word shall always stand and will not pass away. For He has said; "Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away (Matt.24:35)." That is why Elohim’s word should be considered above anything and anyone else‘s belief (that is apart from Elohim's word) when it comes to Himself, and us,and life itself.
As Christians, we are considered to be narrow-minded people, because we believe that there is only one Way. But that is because, there is only one way.
For Yeshua said,
" Enter ye in at the strait gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go there. Because strait, is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matt7: 13-l4).
And so we are not a majority, but a minority, since there be few that find it.
And since Yeshua said He is The Way,(not a way),The Truth, and The Life (John 14:6), we do well to take heed and look into everything He had to say about Himself. Because with Yeshua, there can be no neutral ground with Him, for He says, "you are either for Me or against Me (Matt. l2:30)." We cannot be fence sitters for to be undecided is to be decided since no decision is made to surrender yourself to Him. And Yeshua claims to bring salvation (eternal life) to all who will believe in Him (John 3:16). And to those who have received Him, "He gave them the power to become the sons of Elohim even to them that believe on His name( John 1:12)."
But, you must receive Him, in order to taste and experience this new life for yourself and to pass from death to life. Messiah Yeshua is looking for a bride to inhabit the new Jerusalem that will be coming down out of heaven. The choice we make down here is important because those who decide for Him now, will be with Him forever to share in a glorious inheritance with Him that awaits us once we leave this earth. As we become "joint heirs with Messiah (Romans 8:17)." We will reign with Him forever! For as the scripture says,"as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man, the things which Elohim hath prepared for them that love him (1 Cor.2:9)." This earth is nothing to be compared to what lies beyond this life in Messiah. You do not want to miss it!
