Which Key Do You Have?

"He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To him who overcomes will I give eternal life" (paraphrased Revelation 2:7). 

The Spirit of God is speaking--through His Word and through those who have a right relationship with Him.  This can be seen and heard through those who know how to rightly divide (dissect/break it down) the Word of Truth.  It is time for us to get our collective "houses" (congregations or communities) in order, by telling people the truth--not as we think it, but as the Holy Spirit gives it to us.  This is why God is not going to honor our concepts of political correctness over godly righteousness.  He can't.  If He did, it would make Him a liar.  The Word tells us that God is not a man who should lie.  The implication is clear--men will lie to promote their own agenda and say, "God is all right with that"!  Look how the enemy conspires to influence us against God's Word--political correctness; equality in the things that God said were an abomination to Him--attempting to convince some that God changes His mind about what He has said. 

How do we overcome to receive eternal life?  The Word says, we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.  The blood that was shed on the cross was The Sacrifice for all who "choose" to believe that He is and accept Jesus as their personal Savior.  Our testimony of God's goodness, mercy, and love--aligned with The Word--not skewed with unbelief--makes us partakers of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ and in promoting it to others so that all might have eternal life.  We cannot compromise God's Word to be "liked" or "followed" by others.  We must stand on His Truths for they are the very foundation for our belief--not political correctness. 

It is time--right now--for all who believe to stand up and say so, without fear or trepidation of what others might think.  After all, mankind does not hold the key to either heaven or hell--we do, individually--in our obedience to God's Word or our rejection of it!  Which key do you have?
