Absolute Truth In Love

Compromise is not peacemaking. Absolute truth in love is peacemaking. God did not call us to compromise with the world in order to bring peace, but He called us to agree with Him in truth about His love. Only when this happens will the world truly know peace, and this will only happen when every man, woman, and child comes into agreeance with Him, that His love is the only true love. Until this happens, the world is at war with itself, for the world is at war with Him.

Jesus Himself said this when He talked about His coming to earth as a Man. "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34) He is the Word of God made flesh, and His Word is the sword that proceeds from His mouth. Only until the whole world comes into agreeance with His Word will the world know peace.

Anyone that proclaims world peace apart from this proclaims falsely, for this goes directly against God's Word, and anyone that proclaims love apart from His Word proclaims love that appears to be, but is not. This is harlot love, love that claims to be, but is full of emptiness, of death and destruction, and those that place their faith in this love, in this peace, drink of the same cup, the golden cup that on the outside appears to be good and perfect but that is full of all matter of abominable things, all matter of perversions of the truth, all of which are the fruit of death and destruction. 

Why are they abominations? Because they are the twisting of the truth, the true love that is found only in the Word of the Living God, who is Himself love, Pure and Holy in Himself. I myself have tasted and become full of this harlot love, have drank the cup of abomination to its inevitable end in very literal way. I was brought to the gate of death in my desperation, seduced and deceived by that which the world calls love, but that was only an empty shell. I was helpless and hopeless, devoid of all meaning and purpose, desiring either true love or death, and I willingly chose death.

Climate change, world peace, unity through love, justice, equal and good distribution of resources; these are all things that are only possible through the Word of God. No one else can fulfill their promises to correct the wages of sin upon this earth, for all of these things are the solutions to the corruption of sin upon the earth. Until the time that the Word of God made flesh returns to the earth to make all things right, the earth cannot know the perfect restoration of all things, and He has already proclaimed to us the truth of His coming. He has shared with us His perfect plan, as well as equipping us with everything that we need to withstand the time of tribulation that is coming. Out of the time of tribulation will emerge a pure and spotless Bride, the Bride that agrees with Him, that longs for Him as a bride longs for her bridegroom, for the moment of the marriage.

"For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now." Romans 8:19-22

Right now, we are being subjected to the futility of the world attempting to establish world peace on its own, of the world attempting to live in unity with a love that is not love, of the world attempting to right the effects that mankind has had on the climate on its own, of establishing its own system of justice apart from the true justice of God, of creating a system of good and equal distribution of resources of its own accord. All of creation is experiencing the consequences of the failure of mankind to lead himself, for no man or woman can deliver on his or her promises to restore the earth to the state of perfection.

There is hope in this, and this hope is the emergence of a people that will place their faith wholly in the only One who can deliver on His promises to right every wrong and restore all things whole again, to show all of mankind the emptiness of the false promises of man apart from God in sharp contrast to the glory revealed in those who come into agreeance of the Word of God, who place their faith in Him and clamor for His return upon this earth. This is the revealing of the children of God, those who willingly place themselves under the covering of sonship through the blood of Christ Jesus, who wield His Word like a sword and proclaim His Truth, even in the midst of the lies of the world. This is the way that the pure and spotless Bride will emerge, whose light will be set upon a hill and not be hidden, to proclaim the coming of the King of kings, the Lord of lords, to be a lamp in the darkness to the world.

Do not compromise with what the world calls love, with what the world calls peace, with what the world calls good. Do not become corrupted by that which claims to be something that is not, that deceives through the promise of gaining every good thing without losing anything in return, that seeks to cover up and do away with our differences, that speaks smoothly with the tongue pleasant things to the ear to pacify our longings for restoration, that lulls our spirits into a false sense of security and comfort, for the same serpent that promises to give what he does not have is behind it all, and the sting of his bite is death to those who place their faith in him. He is the father of lies, the corrupter of everything good and perfect.

In Christ, death has lost its sting, for the serpent who is the father of death and deception has been defeated, but in order to come under His protection, we must proclaim His Word and hold fast to His Way, and this is only possible through His Spirit, which dwells within those who receive Him. Jesus spoke of exactly this in His conversation with the woman at the well; "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth." (John 4:23-24) 

To worship Him in spirit and in truth is to love Him in spirit and in truth, for that which we love, we worship. This is the fulfillment of His Word to us, to love Him first and foremost, with all that we are and all that we have, and in doing so, we are actually loving all those around us, for His love is the only true love and all love comes from Him. Through the power of the Spirit who dwells within us and the power of the truth of the Word of God, we have been equipped with all that is necessary to live in agreement with Him.

This is the call to all those who will to humble themselves before God, to lay down their own understanding of what love is and to wield the Word of God in its place, to place their faith not in what they see, but to proclaim the coming of what they do not yet see upon this earth. God is love, and His judgements are perfect in love. Get into a conversation with God about this. Ask Him to reveal His perfect love for all creation to you, to see how His judgements are good and pure, that His plans laid out throughout all of scripture for the day of judgement are executed out of His love for us. All of creation is crying out for His return. Will you?
