How Will They Ever Get Help? 🤳🤺

Hebrews 6:11 (KJV) And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

Hebrews 6:12 (KJV) That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

God’s not forgetful and our desire should be that we aren’t either. God’s not going to forget His children but I’m afraid we do. We forget to pray one for another. If a brother or sister is overtaken in a fault we are ready to disband them from our fellowship not restore them.  

Galatians 6:1 (KJV) Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Ye Which Are Spiritual Restore. It didn’t read ye which are spiritual, reject. Too many times we are quick to judge and reject. 

Luke 6:37 (KJV) Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Don’t mess up or: wait, wait, stop. God teaches us to be ye kind one to another. Remember not all of us do showboat sins. All do not get caught by human eyes, maybe you didn’t. Too many are thrown out when they should have been restored and brought in. 

 Ephesians 4:32 (KJV) And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Be Kind, Tenderhearted, Forgiving just like God was to you “as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you” Oh how soon we forget.. 1 Corinthians 6:11 (KJV) And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 

My wife and I spend a lot of time helping helping those who for whatever reason have gotten themselves entangled in an addictive behavior. A few year back a man told me that he nor his church; how does he know how the people that attend his church feel? He said that he didn’t want those kind of people attending his church. I asked him this question “ sir what kind of a person was you before you put on a suit and stuck a Bible under your arm? Jesus died for those whom this world has gobbled up. If those who think they are better push others away because of their sin then how will they ever get help? The better than you attitude will only hinder, it never helps and that's not the attitude Jesus taught us to have. Be ye kind, tenderhearted, long suffering, forgiving. Is that not the way you would like to be treated? We can read of both attitudes when Jesus was brought before Pilate. Jesus was accused of perverting the nation. There was no fault, no crime so they decided to beat Him and strip Him and then nail Him to a cross. That’s the attitude of unforgiveness. Then Jesus said this after all He had experienced and endured..

Luke 23:34 (KJV) Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. That’s the attitude  of forgiveness. Oh you might say that I don’t understand. I’m sure I don’t but God’s attitude is there is nothing too bad or awful that God will not forgive. Oh but I have never done anything awful. In your eyes no; but none the less you have never done enough good that you don’t need God’s forgiveness. Why do I say that?  

Romans 3:12 (KJV) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
