Conclusion:
This four part discourse on breaking the barrier has been presented to give insight into an obstacle confronting the many.
Take notice of the Bible verses pertinent to escaping the Barrier. When you can actually read them and see the points brought out, these verses bring home the meaning forcefully.
Take exceptional notice to Gods position on this disobedience by sending a delusion, 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (KJV)
- 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
- 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
- 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Noted as pertaining to Satan, the mystery of iniquity, 2 Thessalonians 2:7 (KJV)
- 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Noun: iniquity, Absence of moral or spiritual values
Notice in this verse, he, “he be taken out of the way” Consider Satan as a reference to he, pertinent to the Barrier.
A topic that must be considered is Judgement, what does that mean or where did it originate from? We find that the New Testament describes it seriously and meaningfully.
Judgement, 2 Corinthians 5:10 (NASB)
- 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Judgement, Revelation 20:12-15 (KJV)
- 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
- 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
- 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
- 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Confronting repent again, a changing of ones life style and the determination to follow a collections of 27 books not capable of being written by men that weren’t inspired. This last part, not capable of being written by men that weren’t inspired should be taken very seriously, it’s a reward that can not be beaten by any other reward offered.
For further excursions into revealing scriptures read the articles in the category, Church of Christ Doctrine. there are 8 articles explaining for all that’s needed to get you into the Church of Christ where salvation is found. The articles expressly stress obeying New Testament verses.
There are thousands of unscriptural churches that in the New Testaments teachings don’t meet its qualifications, the 8 articles stressing the Salvation article meets that goal.
Temptations pertaining to Christians, God will also “make a way to escape, “that ye may be able to bear it”.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV)
- 13 “but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”
Of course you must be a Christian in order for this to work.
A temptation to consider, lust, one cause of the Barrier, James 1:14-15 (KJV)
- 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
- 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Take notice of overcometh in, Revelation 2:7 (KJV)
- 7 “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God”
Once a Christian, one must develop his faith fortifying it by studying Gods word and persevering on overcoming the temptations of this life.
And as we see, the end reward is found in, Revelation 2:7 (KJV)
- 7 “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God”
And He That Endures To The End Shall Be Saved, Matthew 10:22 (KJV)
- 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
The aim of this article is to concentrate on the life hereafter as offered, because life here as we know it is short.
