When Jesus walked on the earth, He seemed radical
because He called people to a higher standard. He raised the moral
standard and spoke about a state of perfection that is only possible
when we make Him our righteousness. Our Savior said it was possible
to murder someone in your thoughts and equated it to the actual
deed. He also said that you are guilty of adultery if you lust after
another person who is not your spouse. Jesus spoke about divorce and
taking an oath to validate a personal action. He indicated how
people should relate to each other when there is a personal conflict
and told of the great law of love which only born again believers
filled with the Holy Spirit can fulfill. This biblical standard set
by Jesus is in total opposition to the state of affairs today. The
current trend is to water down the teachings of Jesus and make it
possible for everyone to feel comfortable with a church that does
not condemn sin and only speaks about love and acceptance. Are you upholding the standards
set forth by Jesus or are you walking on the same road as the Devil?
