“How Far, Behind Righteousness Are You?” Galatians 5:7; Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? “How Far, Behind Righteousness Are You?” Elisha; 1 Kings 19:20; And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? (Now here you need to discern, he is talking about affections. When you come after the Lord, that is suppose to change. Colossians 3:2; Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Your like toward persons, places and things change. All it does is have your actions and activities toward differ. Leviticus 10:10; And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean. You are making up ground between you and righteousness.) “How Far, Behind Righteousness Are You?” Matthew 8:21; And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. v22; But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. (Jesus wasn’t telling him so much that he couldn’t go. But instead telling him how to go. The way you go with the world could put you at length with righteousness. Romans 12:2; And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.) Matthew 8:23; And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. (Now this is you having peace with it. It will keep you close to righteousness. Hebrews 4:10; For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.) “How Far, Behind Righteousness Are You?” Acts 24:25; And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. Church folk believe that they can catch up with righteousness at their convenience. (Being in church when you want to. I’m not talking about only a building, but, also a way. 2 Timothy 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. That’s staying in close proximity to righteousness.) Romans 13:11; And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. “How Far, Behind Righteousness Are You?” Teaching!
