God Doesn’t Need You – You Need Him
Contrary to Popular Opinion, God Doesn’t Need You or Me
The LORD Almighty, is the only self-existent Being. He’s not dependent upon anyone. ALL others are dependent upon He who made and sustains all life, and life forms (Colossians 1:15-17). We need Him. He does not need us.
Any person who foolishly separates Jesus from what He stated in His Word, including His commandments, His instructions to us, is casting away the mercy God wishes to show him.
The true follower of Jesus upholds the words of God as the highest authority to be obeyed. Such a man declares with the psalmist:
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105
Repentance is Essential
The first command of the Gospel is the “repent” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19, etc.).
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3
True repentance will always bring forth good fruit.
“EVERY TREE which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 3:10
Any questions?
—- WHY is hell so full of souls who were once saved? Why did Jesus say that some would believe and then “fall away”? See Luke 8:13. Jesus told us – “And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection” (Luke 8:14).
What keeps people out of Heaven and puts them in the eternal incarceration of hell? What did Jesus say they counted more important than Him?:
- “cares … of this life”
- “riches … of this life”
- “pleasures of this life”
What’s the result? – They “bring no fruit to perfection.” Is fruit important to God? Without it, no one will be in Heaven. Does fruit save? No, yet it’s always the product (that which is produced) out of a saving, abiding relationship with Christ. Read John 15:1-16.
Who Will You Call the Liar?
1) Christ, or
2) The “accursed” deceiver whom you have allowed to teach you “another gospel”? Read Galatians 1:6-9.
Did Jesus mean what He plainly stated? Will you call the Son of God a liar in order to continue to believe the fairytale lie you’ve been taught by false teachers who are turning the grace of God into “lasciviousness” (license for sin)? Read Jude 3-4.
Good Fruit is Always the Result of Truly Repenting
Truly repenting, fully surrendering, brings relationship and good fruit to God’s glory. Anything short of true repentance and the associated good fruit will not enter eternal glory.
“Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 3:8-10
THOSE who truly have repented have good fruit and good works in their lives, and this has nothing to do with church attendance which is a lame excuse for good fruit and good works. Serving Christ’s body daily and getting someone saved is more like the good works God is looking for (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 19:10; Acts 5:43; 8:4; Proverbs 11:30, etc.). Cleaning a bathroom or singing in a choir in a church building that God never intended be built is not good works in His eyes. Who are we kidding except our own deceived hearts? Serving a false pastor (hireling) who has no heart for lost souls, does not preach only God’s Word under the anointing of the Spirit and in the holy fear of God, is not serving God. Instead, it’s rebellion, bidding Godspeed to Christ’s enemy, and a complete waste (2 Chronicles 19:2; 2 John 7-11).
You see, something else – an idol – is more important to many than Jesus Christ. This is exactly why Jesus foretold that “many” would go to hell and only a “few” to Heaven.
“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 in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
They do not hate their lives in this fleeting, sinful world. Against the command of Christ they love self. The OSAS (once saved always saved) moral coward wants no part of losing the euphoric feeling of “security” and therefore wants no part of any notion of personal responsibility. He wants to believe he is free to live any way he so wishes. So, he/she will reject this message to his/her own destruction. Just as it led to Adam and Eve’s fall, so shall it lead to their fall. This message of laying down one’s life and forsaking all is Christ’s message – you know, the One they claim saved them. Jesus says: “If ANY man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple … So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26-27, 33).
The initial moment when you repented is only the beginning of your walk with Christ. You must “abide” (remain) in Christ (John 15:1-6), you must continue in His Word (John 8:31-32), to count Him more important than self (Luke 14:26-27), to forsake all (Luke 14:33), to love His truth supremely (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12), to seek His face in holy prayer communion daily (Matthew 6:6), to deny self, to take up your cross, and to follow Him (Luke 9:23-24). This would mean that you love Him more than sinful self.
Don’t like this message? Move on then. God doesn’t need you – You need the LORD. It’s your choice to join the millions whom Christ once saved who bought the OSAS lie and so then allowed other things to be more important than Him. Adam and Eve bought this same lie and God kicked them out of His holy presence as a result (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; 23-24).
Unconditional eternal security is a myth – a lie from the enemy of all souls designed to deceive and bring eternal damnation (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; John 10:10). If you believe such an unbiblical fairytale, then you have colluded with the enemy of Jesus Christ and yet you claim to be serving Jesus Christ?
“They that observe” such a “lying vanity” will pay with their own conscious eternal body. They forsake God’s mercy and will suffer the vengeance of eternal fire for refusing Christ – the only Salvation.
“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.” Jonah 2:8
By not taking God at HIS Word, you defy Him and are His very enemy. He takes this personally. Those who refuse to hear and heed the words of God are “not of God” (John 8:47).
If you want to know Him and to be with Him eternally, listen closely and prayerfully to what He said. He gave you His Word in tangible format. There is no excuse. Anyone who foolishly divorces Christ from His very words, is tying a rope around their own neck.
“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38
Today you may be angry with the messenger of this divine truth and yet if you do not obey God, you will be for eternity angry with yourself and with those who lied to you. Eternal remorse will ensue all those who do not take cover under Christ’s wing by truly repenting and laying down their lives.
“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.” Hebrews 3:12-14
Let us ever remember our great need to be in intimate relationship with our great Maker and how much He loves us.
“God is holy, eternal, almighty, and totally self-sufficient. He does not need any created being, but we do need Him. All of creation is dependent on the life that God alone sustains.” Unknown
“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” Lamentations 3:22-26
Prayer of Repentance: Father I have played the game. I am finished with a mere form of godliness and ready to get real with You. I am ready to do business with you, now. Right this moment, if never before, I lay my life in Thy holy hands. I turn to You LORD Jesus, asking You to increase as I here and now choose to decrease. Into Your hands I commend, release, and submit my spirit and my whole being. Please make me to be Your authentic disciple. Strip all falsity and bless this vessel to be completely honest before You and man. I love You LORD Jesus. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and use me for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
