Do You Know the LORD?

Many will say ‘lord’ with their lips but their heart is still wrapped in self-will, pride and satisfied with any signs of peace, Matthew 7:21. They think themselves at peace with the LORD because they have feelings of sympathy for Him but they are not real or lasting sentiments being still wrapped in the grave clothes of sin that are welded to their dead souls. When the LORD calls the Lazaruses from the grave of sin, the grave clothes have to be taken off of them. “And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.” (John 11:44)

Have you heard the Voice of the Son of God calling you from the deadness of sin? It is the Great I Am that calls a sinner. His constraining Grace makes him willing in the day of His power, Psalm 110:3. It is the blood shed of the LORD Jesus for sinners that has made the Way open for us to even approach a Holy God and plead for Mercy. That’s the way that the LORD Jesus Christ does His work when He resurrects a dead soul to life in Him. Those of us who are the LORD’s do not mind, nor are we offended if someone asks us: “Do you know the LORD?” I wish more people would question our salvation. Has the LORD tested what you have? If it is of Him, it will hold!
