A true and sincere child of God does not have to become a trophy on Hell's mantlepiece. As we, the Apostolic Tabernacle church family have recently heard through the preaching of Brother Brian Williams, we must strive daily to stay completely under the blood of Jesus. Even momentary slipping into our sinful past can draw us deeper into a sinful life if we allow it. We must stay submitted to God's will continually.
As Brother Williams stated near the end of his message, that quite possibly what would hurt God the most at judgment day, would be those who have known him, had a close relationship with him, had been covered by the blood of Jesus, but had themselves, held back parts of their lives, never surrendering completely to God. Unfortunately, this would prevent them from taking part in God's eternal glory at that awaited day.
We must continue to sincerely draw closer to God through prayer and press on daily towards the mark for the prize of the high calling. We must also stand against the wiles of the devil and remember the price that Jesus paid for us at Calvary. Then when our day comes to leave this world, we won't have to worry about becoming a trophy on Hell's mantlepiece.
