Spiritual Distinctions between a Reject and a Righteous Man:
Spiritual Distinctions between a Reject and a Righteous Man:
It is with a humble, even saddened, heart I present the following candid distinction between ONE whom God Almighty has rejected (even in His Love) -and ONE whom the same Loving God has accepted (in His Be-loved). The record of Spirit-inspired Scripture is again our only true Guide, and I trust the same Spirit of Truth to lead us both into and guide us through these sharply contrasted spiritual realities. Let's begin. From opposing sides of the behavioral spectrum…
Here are some potent distinctions:
One man is Darkness, while one man is Righteous.
One man is evil-tempered (his proven and displayed temper, that is); one man is God-hearted (although painfully imperfect).
One man is the choice of the crowd; one man is the selection of God Himself.
One man is under no persuasion to do the right thing; one man is under no persuasion to hide his confessed (and gruesome) sins.
One man cannot win in the eyes of Almighty; one man cares not if he loses in the sight of all men.
One man becomes a Reject; one man maintains God’s Righteousness within.
One man is Adam; one Man is “the last Adam”.
One man is crucified with Christ; one man is now alive unto God.
One man cannot save his life before men; one man cannot but lose his before God.
One man is the Reject… One man is the Righteous.
And, drawing from historical example and the extent of our own common humanity, you or I could easily be “anointed by God” yet -end up AS EITHER MAN.
