LACKING AMELIORATION
John [ESV] 3:16-18
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send
his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might
be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever
does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name
of the only Son of God.
Hebrews 3:7-13 Therefore,
as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your
hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, where your
fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. Therefore I was
provoked with that generation, and said, 'They always go astray in their heart;
they have not known my ways.' As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter my
rest.'" Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil,
unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one
another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you
may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
A healthy church
is populated with individuals that lack amelioration of the Word of God. They
present the whole counsel of God. They in word and deed demonstrate the loving
grace of God. They also speak the plain truth about the dreadful results of
rejecting God’s loving gracious redemption.
