Election Time in the USA

 I just turned 74 and have lived all my life in the US. In thinking about the upcoming election the following verse came into my mind...

"The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you." (2 Chronicles 15:2)

Neither candidate is the LORD, that is for certain, and so I do not "seek after" either one of them. When voting I prayerfully consider the one who it seems to me would not "forsake" my LORD during times of crisis in this world in which we live. People can and will differ on who that is I suppose, so I will not judge them if their choice differs from mine. After all...

"...the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men. He gives it to anyone He wants and sets the lowliest of humans over it." (Daniel 4:17)..."Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God." (Romans 13:1-2)

The Path To Future Glory - But For Now, Trump May Have To Do

Paul declared…

“I am crucified with Christ…” (Galatians 2:20)

“Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep...Ought not Christ to have suffered these things (events of his death) and to enter into His GLORY (thru his resurrection)...But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with GLORY and honor"...(1 Corinthians 15:20; Luke 24:26; Hebrews 2:9)

When Jesus hung on the cross it was a graphic declaration that death is the path to GLORY, for himself and for humans. 

Got it? Sin, death, and the grave is the path to GLORY. Christ the first fruit, then all the rest of us.

It is the SPIRIT within us which longs to live, not die, and testifies to us “the sufferings of Christ and the GLORY that should follow.” (1 Peter 1:11)

There is NO path to GLORY among the present self-righteous institutions of men in this present age. It is not our good works, nor our bad that determines the GLORY that will be ours AFTER our death and resurrection. 

Christ died…so will we die

Christ was raised….so will we be raised
Christ was glorified…so will we be glorified

All by the GRACE of God. A few of us hear and believe the good news in this life, yet all will know and believe after Jesus returns to resurrect humanity from death...

“Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep...As in Adam all die, even so in Christ SHALL ALL be made alive...sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, IT IS RAISED IN GLORY; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So also it is written, the first man, Adam, became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.” (1 Corinthians 15:20-22,42-49)

Get this straight, no one is going to heaven because of their political viewpoints. Even the low life, radical, militant, WOKE fanatics will eventually die and be resurrected to GLORY and salvation - by the grace of God.

"It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of ALL HUMANITY.” (1 Timothy 4:9-10)

BUT for NOW we need a President who cares about “we the people”, the majority who are not self-righteous, tolerant, politically correct bleeding hearts…but a President who will protect Americans who are in this country legally.

I voted for Trump for the sake of our children and grandchildren while waiting for our future glory.
