“Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by the many more” (Amos 7:7-8)
is Jesus, God’s own Son.
He did destroy the Devil’s works
and in spoiling his powers He won! (1 Jn. 3:8; Col. 2:15)
It didn’t seem He was victorious at first
defeated apparently.
He suffered much, shed innocent blood
and died for you and me.
God’s ways are surely not our ways
since three days later, He rose!
Jesus is God manifested in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16)
to save our immortal souls!
To those who really don’t believe
and say they really do.
God knows their hearts. They can’t fool Him.
He knows just who is who.
Jesus is our Plumbline separating the bad today;
and they, the spoiled, are destined for Hell,
sentenced there to stay. (How sad!)
If you and I turn to darkness,
we lose God’s Light to see.
To try to serve two masters,
we’re as blind as blind can be!
How can we forsake our Master
when He paid such a high price to save?
He is our only Savior
triumphant from the grave.
On the threshing floor, God separates
the wheat and leaves the tare. (Matt. 13:25)
Takes the humble sheep away with Him
and His sheep are very few.”
That’s because His sheep obey Him.
Hope that’s me and you!
If we turn away from sin,
as we call upon His name,
On Judgment Day, we won’t be there
to bow our heads in shame. (Matt. 25:32,33)
