| This question screams louder and louder in my spirit.
Is there anything left for us to do, as true believers in Christ, in order to have right standing with the Father? Is there even the most miniscule item Christ did not accomplish? Is there even one jot or tittle that He didn't fulfill on that merciless cross? If you answer anything other than an emphatic "no, absolutely nothing, no not one thing!" I suggest that you question if you have received the true Christ. I will, with tears, tell you to come and meet my Savior, the one who is all in all, the one who paid in full, with His lifeblood poured on the ground. Do you understand what He meant when the incarnate God declared "it is finished"? He meant cease from your works, receive from Me that which you can never do on your own. I doesn't matter that the proponents of tithing say that it is not Law. It is! Don't for one second believe that just because a form of it is mentioned before the Law that it is exempt from the absolute, irrefutable fact that Christ has fulfilled the Law, every last jot and tittle, including the tithe. I believe that if Paul was alive today he would ask "who has bewitched you you foolish ones, who have eyes yet see not, and ears yet are stone deaf?" I solemly declare with all love that to believe in tithing is to trust in the spirit of the antichrist who continues to tell mankind "you can do it". He cunningly wispers in our ears "is it truly finished? There must be something you can do for Him, don't give up, strive on brother." I declare to you you can do nothing for Him. Your tithing doesn't impress Him, your human attempts to restrain the flesh don't impress Him. Rather, these things bring tears to His eyes and He would ask of you, "was it not enough what I did for you? Would you have Me nailed to the cross once again so I can finish the job". I adjure you, my brothers and sisters, come out from among her and stand on the rock of your Salvation. |
