Topic: The Left Hand of God

Highlight:

Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Matthew 25:41


No mathematics is needed to tell us what the left and right hand in the above highlight mean. We do not need to argue that our Lord Jesus Christ told us that Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.' and tell those on the left to "depart from me...into eternal fire" This shows us that God's right hand is to uphold righteousness and left hand is for establish judgement on the enemies of God. Isaiah 41:10. That's why He categorically said Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; that but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear. Isaiah 59:1-2

This means that there are different authorities waiting for signal on both sides of Gods arms. when God signals his right hand, mercy will uphold the righteous but when he signal his left hand, there is going to be judgement on God's enemies. Jesus is on the right hand "And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Acts 7:56 while the punisher is on the left. "Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." Matthew 25:41

The right and left arms are totally separated from each other with a great chasm or gap of separation in between that those on both sides cannot cross to each other. (Luke 16:26)

Which means that there is hope on the right hand but once anyone cross to the left hand, God will not hear any plea even if the plea is for a drop of water Luke 16:24.

But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command you this day, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you:
Deuteronomy 28:15

As the forces on both arms are free for all to reach through decisions on earth there is always a constant battle on people who are crossing from left to right and right to left each day. Some will choose right path while some would go to the left Matthew 7:14, Jesus Christ showed us a big picture by hanging on a cross because a cross is a good definition for punishment unto salvation. If you are not born again and you still indulge in things you know does not please God. You need to be saved on time by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. First, repent from bad ways and forsake them and then confessing Jesus as your Lord and savior. That is not all: Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. Matthew 26:41

To Obey God's command on time is better than damage control sacrifice. Matthew 10:28; and 1Samuel 15:22. Do Stay on the right side of God always until the end and enjoy abundant life. Amen.


Prayer: God I pray for grace to stay on your right hand side where Jesus is the King forever in Jesus name. Amen
