I am amazed at relationship blindness. How many sins does someone have to do against you for you to walk away? How much hatred, bitterness and evil in their hearts before you give up, because nothing will change?
Look around at divorces, broken families, difficulty in people telling anothers way of being from their own. We are quicker at breaking relationships and saying take a jump, than agreeing and being in harmony. To Gods face, you cannot say take a jump.
But all sinners will, they cannot help it, it is their continual state. And a believer who now hates God, what are they? Someone who will say I love you God, or take a jump? I prayed with one relative about her fears and brought it to the Lord. She was distraught and I thought as she had gone to church all her life, she would try and reach out. She told me afterwards it was a nice sentiment but nothing more. Unless she is given grace to repent, she will die in this state and be totally lost.
On that day, as we are is our state. Jesus makes it plain in the wedding banquet. The man not dressed appropriately was thrown out. Who believes Jesus was just joking, and he was actually told to go home and get dressed up. This is a one hit reality, a narrow gate and narrow path. It is about eternal realities that in Gods presence are binary, totally binary, black or white. It is why we have so long and such a time to work things through now, but not then, now when things are still hazy, and truth is not fully revealed and complete.
