ONCE WE HAVE SET OUR HAND TO THE PLOW TO DOGGEDLY AGONIZE TO ENTER STRAIT GATE WE MUST NOT LOOK BACK

IT IS THE COMMANDS OF GOD THAT CONVICT US THAT WE ARE SPIRITUAL CRIMINALS, FOR SIN IS SIMPLY A BREAKING OF GOD’S LAW. Ex 19:8And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. IN THIS MESSAGE WE WILL FIND OUT THAT THE CONVICTION OF OUR ACTS OF SIN ARE SIN ARE A GOOD THING BECAUSE THEY ARE THE FIRST WORKINGS GOD TO BRING US TO SALVATION, BUT WE MUST NOW ALSO BEWARE THAT ONCE OUR HAND IS SET TO THE PLOW, WE ARE NOT TO LOOK BACK, BUT LOOK TO SEE THAT OUR SIN NATURE MUST BECOME SIN TO US AND THEN OUR SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS BECOME SIN TO US AS WELL AS OUR UNBELIEF BECOME SIN TO US. . NOW WE MUST DOGGEDLY AGONIZE TO ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE BEFORE WE DIE: Luke 9: [57] And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. [58] And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. [59] And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. [60] Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. [61] And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. [62] And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.Heb. 6: [4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, [5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, [6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
