DISCERNMENT

Discernment is a gift that is essential in these days. The Word of God is sharper then any 2 edged sword piercing between the soul and the spirit. It is a discerner of thoughts. Many are trapped these days by illusions of the real. This is the counterfeit gospel. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. It has the power to save. The counterfeit gospel based on human values has no power to save. It is a feel good gospel. It rationalises sin and makes it acceptable by defining it as low self esteem. There is no need for the death of Christ to save people with low self esteem. All they need is some positive psychology. Sin is death and only a Saviour can save us from death. Jesus did this by dying on the Cross in our place and redeemed us from the curse of original sin. This curse has tarnished our psyche to the extent that we cope with this through deluding ourselves that we are better then the other. This relative stance only leads to a decline in moral values and a raping of man from his true destiny. Our true destiny is in God and for eternity in heaven. However the popular gospel that is preached is a feel good gospel for today. When sin is called by other names, then death will prevail. You can clothe death by other names but the end is still death. The only true answer to death is Jesus Christ who defeated death on the Cross for you and for me. Now we are saved for eternal life.
