I am recently reminded on this blog from a preacher and fellow member of the Lord on the subject of obedience. Brother McClain said " People want to accept Jesus as their personal Savior however they don't want to obey him". Think about this for a few moments. How true is this statement? People will do whatever they want when they want as long as it makes them feel good. But if it is a contradiction to God's law and the will of God that doesn't matter. They will do whatever they want. But when it comes time they will claim Jesus as their personal Savior immediately. How can one we claim Jesus but don't do the one thing he asks from each of us and that is to do the will of the Father. (Matthew 7:21-23) Many were ready to do so many things but without knowledge or willingness to obey Jesus they were declared lawless.
The truth to be obedient will never change but the world is always changing.
The first thing to have true obedience is taking a look in the mirrow and seeing who we need to overcome. Without having the realization of we need to overcome ourselves first then we can never be obedient. Those who think they can do whatever they want when they want and still not be obedient are first of all stubborn and won't change are foolish in their thoughts and will be judged each accordingly. Romans 12:1-2 clearly states in order obedience to be functioned properly we can't let the world conform us we must be a transformer (not a machine that changes into a robot HA!!!)but through obedience changing the world. I John 2:15-17 denying the world and everything in it. The earth will pass away but the word of Christ will never pass away. Matthew talks about laying treasures in heaven where nothing can destroy it.
People will do whatever is right in their own eyes (just like Israel) and will fail to realize what it really is about and that is "doing the will of MY Father in Heaven" Matthew 7:21. Like Israel if those continue to do what they think is right they will fail in according to the Lord's Standards.

Confusion
I was recently on yahoo.com and looking at what was going on withthe news around the world. There was a link saying the pope has revised the doctrine on possibly saying that children, I am sorry infants may not need baptism to save their souls if they die. Reading this is still very upsetting to me on things like this. They called what a child may go to is called "limbo." I was raised in the Church of Christ. I have been searching through the Bible where first it says an infant needs to be baptized. Secondly where is this place that says a child if not baptized is in limbo.
First off, Ezekiel 18:20 something that was stated back in the Old Testament the very first time talks about we each will be held accountable for ourselves. We don't bear one another's problems or our families sin. If we don't do anything wrong especially as an infant because we can't decifer the difference from right and wrong how can an infants be told they can't inherent Heaven. They can't control themselves they don't know what is right and what is wrong. But yet with traditions people tend put them first rather than what does God say. Still towards the end of the article they say that no matter what happens people still need to baptize children when they are just born. Once again TRADITIONS!
Second, Limbo. Where does it say that an infants will be in Limbo if they aren't baptized. I thought Limbo was a game where you tried to go under a pole and as low as you can. I look and see throughout the Bible and I can't find anything where it talks about "LIMBO." Matthew Chapter 25 talks alot about the coming of Christ. Towards the latter end of the chapter it says in verse 32 there is separation. Verse 34 says enter the kingdom of My Father Heaven. So first we are told we can enter heaven. Second verse 41 everlasting fire prepared for the devil hell. 2 places are mentioned yet neither one of them are called Limbo. Confusion.
A person who can receive heaven. Must Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Repent saying I have sinned, Confess openely admitting your belief in Jesus Christ, and being Baptized and living through Christ faithfully every day of your lives. An infant as far as I can remember especiallyu since I was one I could talk for a while so I couldn't do some of these things and secondly I was wanting to pay more attention tp the pretty colors rather than paying attention to at the time of listening because I still had a short attention span. Pls what sin did I commit as a child who can't decifer good from wrong yet that caused me to not have a chance of inheriting heaven.
