SERVICE TO GOD DOES NOT REPLACE OBEDIENCE


     SERVICE TO GOD DOES NOT REPLACE OBEDIENCE

A person can knock on doors as a witness all his life and still be
rejected on judgment day because he willfully transgressed the law
of God.  It would be a cruel deception for him to think that
somehow serving God replaces keeping His Commandments.  
Jesus said:

Matt.7
[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and
in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work INIQUITY.

Who are those that work "INIQUITY"?  This word comes from the
Greek "Anomian" which means illegality or violation of the law
and generally wickedness.

The apostle John used the same word "Anomian" to give us a clear
definition of what true "sin" is.  He said:

" ...sin is the transgression of the law.  "anomian"  

Therefore, an exact literal translation of what Jesus is going to
declare to EVILDOERS who say "Lord, Lord, is this:

"I never KNEW you, depart from Me you that do transgression of
the law."

God knows the secret things within your heart ...  If you love
anyone --or anything more than God, you will not inherit eternal
life.

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and
keep his commandments: for THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF
MAN.  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every
secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14
