Balancing the Equation
"And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “[[a]The Emperor Tiberius] Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” When they heard this, they were caught off guard, and they left Him and went away."When one side of an equation appears not equal to the other side, it is a wrong equation and that is bad. This ideaology drives us to balance things around us; our bank account, our lifestyles, our courtesy and even do surgery to balance our perceived faults of nature. we even try to balance other peoples lives and failing to accept that ours is in chaos as well.
Matthew 22:20-22 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Why do you look at the [insignificant] speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the [egregious] log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me get the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a log in your own eye? You hypocrite (play-actor, pretender), first get the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.The balancing Game is not a Gospel message, you don't need to do anything about your life before you surrender it to the Lord, His throne room is not a judgment of the smart Lawyers, the Magistrates or the Judge on the high seat. His throne room begins in your faith of self and desires of a whole new beginning.
Matthew 7:3-5Amplified Bible (AMP)
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].It is true that we all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God but we don't have to balance this awareness by doing any earthly activities than that which Christ has always asked us to do. We sin, that makes us the weak beings that we are, we ask for forgiveness cause we have no option and then we condemn others for not following this same trend, yet we stand tall and say we are the redeemed? How can you be a redeemed, How can you boost of being saved, when your conscience still holds you prisoner?
Matthew 11:28
There will be no spirit of accusation or sin consciousness in the eye of the faithful, rather a long embrace to the broken, the unwary, the confused and the lost. If you choose to be the watchdog of the church and you don't even know what it entails, you will rather be pointing fingers to those who remind you of your weakness, meaning you miss the old you and angry that someone else is living that life instead of you. Why stay trapped in a believe you don't embrace, loose yourself, get wild and when the dire consequences comes... Maybe then the Gospel will make much more sense than just a hectic duty.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God [that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.There is no balancing of equations in the Gospel, don't try to bring the earthly mentality into the heavenly realm, you will be the last man standing when all is revealed, begin to enjoy the grace as it is and experience a higher truth than the world could offer.
