WHAT
IS GAIN 2?
Proverb
22 vs. 2: Can a man be profitable unto GOD, as he that is wise maybe profitable
unto himself? Vs.3: Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art
righteous? Or is it gain to him, that thou make thy ways perfect? We
have the power of choice; you either serve GOD or mammon. GOD does as it
pleases HIM. Serving GOD and choosing GOD is a great gain. Deuteronomy 30 vs. 19: I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing;
therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. Eternal life
is a great gain; Eternal death is a great loss. Adam and Eve were created by
GOD in his own image. Genesis 1 vs. 27:
So GOD created man in his own image, in the image of GOD created he him; male
and female created he them. A creation cannot be wiser than the Creator.
The bible said GOD’s foolishness is wiser than the wisdom of men. Adam and Eve
lost their place in the Garden of Eden because they disobeyed GOD. They were
tempted by the serpent, which also once proved he was wiser than his Creator.
He was at loss just as Adam and Eve were at loss. Adam and Eve lost all
benefits in the Garden of Eden. It pleases GOD when his creations do his will,
but GOD has nothing to gain; neither does He has nothing to lose. The choice is
ours, whether a man inherits the kingdom of GOD or not; GOD still remains GOD.
Whether a man ends up in hell or not, GOD never changes from being GOD. Adam
and Eve were chased out from the Garden of Eden after disobeying GOD. GOD didn’t
lose anything; he never changed from being GOD. Obedience is better than
sacrifice. Obedience to GOD’s will and command is a great gain, disobedience is
loss.
The first Adam failed GOD, but the second Adam never failed. He is JESUS
the son of the living GOD. Through HIM we are redeemed, reconciled back to our
maker; provided we can surrender, believe and accept HIM as our personal LORD
and Savior. GOD is expecting us to return to HIM, so we can be restored. He expects
us to accept instructions from his mouth and lay up his words in our hearts. Job 22 vs. 23 (NIV): If you return to the
Almighty, you will be restored; if you remove wickedness far from your tent.
Vs. 24: And assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in
the ravines, Vs. 25: Then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver
for you. Vs. 26: Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will
lift up your face to GOD. Vs. 27: You will pray to HIM, and he will hear you,
and you will fulfill your vows. It is a gain when you totally submit to
GOD. It is well with us…
