Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you

Peace,

I am led to continue the study from yesterday. Let's start in Matthew 21:28-3228 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Jesus speaking, "A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first" The man asked his first son to go work in the field. The first son replied, "I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. The father came to his second son and said likewise. The second son said, " I do, sir: and went not." Which one did the will of his father? They replied, "The first." Are you like the first or the second son?

Let's continue in Luke 10:38-42 38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Jesus entered into a village and a certain woman name Martha received Him into her house. She had a sister Mary. Mary sat at Jesus' feet and listened to His word. But Martha was too busy. Jesus said, "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:" Martha could not just sit with Jesus and listen to Him as Mary did. Jesus  said, "Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her." Are you like Mary or Martha? 

In Jesus name with love,

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

62 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

STUDY: 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Peace,

This will be a short study but was placed on my heart to share. May the Holy Spirit reveal all truth to you. In Jesus name. Amen.

Let's go to Matthew 7:13-27 13 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.15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.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.24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Jesus speaking, "Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way" We continue and see two ways, "strait is the gate that leadeth unto life and broad is the way that leads to destruction.  Which way are you headed?

Jesus speaking, " Beware of false prophets" We see there are two types of prophets. The true prophet which is sheep and a false prophet which appears to be a sheep but it is a wolf. Jesus said, "you shall know them by their fruit" There is two types of trees. Jesus said, " Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." Jesus goes on to say, "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Which tree are you?

Jesus speaking, " Therefore whosoever hearth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man" There are two foundations in which you may build a house. Jesus said, " a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended and floods came and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not:" 

Jesus goes on to say, " a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell: and great was the fall of it." What foundation have you built your house?

(6) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

 Proverbs 22:6

(6) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
King James Version   Change Bible versions
No parent trains his children perfectly because everyone is a product of the confused and derailed system the Bible calls "this evil world." Parents tend to repeat and pass on whatever this corrupt system imposes on them. Psychologists and sociologists verify that people who were abused as children often repeat that behavior when they become adults. A recent statistic, mentioned in the television program Scared Silent, says that abused children are six times as likely to abuse their own children when they become parents than non-abused children. The abused become abusers. The system gets a hold on them, and they pass the system on.
Muriel Beadle paraphrased this scripture in her book, A Child's Mind. "Today the proverb could be amended to read '. . . and when he is old, he will be unable to depart from it'" (p. xx). Her point is that an adult's hope of change is a slim one. It is extremely difficult for one to change what is ingrained in him when he is young. The cliché of a man being "set in his ways" is true.
Succinctly, the principle is that the right training produces the right results. Thus, athletic teams, ballet and stage productions, and armies train—drill, drill, drill, over and over—until all of the participants, if possible, can do their parts automatically. The skills become such an integral part of them that they perform well routinely.
Proper training will endure throughout life. This principle also applies to what God is doing in a Christian's life. People are material and mortal. But God puts His children through a training program to prepare them for eternal life. He trains them in a way that will endure for all eternity. In dealing with eternal consequences, we understand why God considers doctrine—teaching, instruction—so important.
A satirical interpretation of this verse reads, "Train a child according to his evil inclinations [let him do his own will], and he will continue in his evil way throughout his life." So either way, the principle is a true one. Training determines what a person will become. And doctrine will determine what His people will become.
