Accept or choose not to. The paradox of the categorical unbelief of those who believed, saved, and redeemed

We continue to study the process of saving the saved. A difficult experience, especially when we come to the finish line. Especially when we grow up. By youth or naivety, we used to receive more revelations from the Lord before. As it is written: if you do not diminish, like children, you cannot enter the kingdom of God. How young we were, how sincerely we loved and believed you.

But now, we are growing up. Behind decades. But the pace of development remains the same. Today God offers revelations much more than yesterday, in the name of our salvation. And we are already blowing cold water. Skeptical distrust is becoming more and more.

But the question of accepting or not accepting remains the main thing on the agenda throughout our lives. The ability to this day to receive revelations from God is the ability to believe. And the ability to believe is the ability to protect and hold your salvation to the end.

“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me;
He who receives the prophet, in the name of the prophet, will receive the reward of the prophet; and whoever accepts the righteous, in the name of the righteous, will receive the reward of the righteous” (Matt. 10:40-41).

“He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me” (Luke 10:16).

What practical lessons can be learned from the above places?
To accept or not to accept is the fundamental right of every person. Whoever believes will be saved, whoever does not believe will be condemned.

A conscious rejection of the truth, as well as a conscious acceptance of the truth, divides people into saved and lost, victorious and losers, blessed and doomed.

Conscious obedience to lies, as well as meaningful obedience to truth, divides people into servants of the devil and servants of God, into God's friends and His enemies.

To accept or not to accept is a daily struggle in which they participate as supernatural powers of darkness, as much as the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

What is the reason for the categorical unbelief of people who have believed, saved, and redeemed?
Let’s take a close look at how Jesus reveals the position of those who do not accept the truth of God. Anatomy of disbelief. Reasons for the rejection of God's revelations about the Father and the Son. Here is His detailed analytics.

“And the Father who sent me testified of me. But you never heard His voice, nor did you see His face;
And you do not have the word of Him abiding in you, because you do not believe the One whom He sent.
Search the Scriptures, for through them you think you have eternal life; but they testify of Me.
But you do not want to come to Me to have life.
I do not accept fame from people
But I know you: you do not have the love of God in you” (John 5:37-42).

Five critical aspects of spiritual degradation. Let's start in Hebrew, from right to left. Jesus knew what was in man, and therefore spoke of this.

1. First, you do not have the love of God in you.
2. Having no love for God the Father, naturally, you do not want to come to Me.
3. Having no love for the Father and the Son, respectively, you have no interest in studying the scriptures. And there everything is described in detail about this. They testify of Me. Ignorance will always resist enlightenment and education.
4. Without studying the scriptures, you can never have the Word of God abiding in you. And where there is no Word, there is no faith. And where there is no faith, there is religious aggression and bitterness against God's revelations.
5. Whatever religious titles you have, you are simply unfamiliar with Him.
Neither his voice has ever been heard, nor his face ever seen. He is an unknown God to you.

This is a real disaster - to speak about God all our life, to worship, to protect the one you do not know.
Jesus told the Samaritan woman: you don’t know what you are bowing to. And we know. And if you do not know Heavenly Father, how can you seek the glory of God? It is impossible to search for what you do not know. That is why you accept fame from people.

In short, I will not retell the entire sermon. Highly recommend a better look. I guarantee there will be something to think about. Or maybe even reconsider the usual positions of your current Christianity.
