........As a teenager, the first Words Jesus spoke to me audibly were these three words, "WATCH YOUR TONGUE....He shouted those words at me like a father rebuking his child and loving him with alarm and good life instructions. James told us all in James 1:26) that if any of you think yourself to be religious or spiritual, but you do not bridle your tongue (Watch Your Tongue), your religion is in vain (meaning of non effect, worthless effort, sowing with no good reaping.....Thats In Vain)
Paul said Jesus did not die in vain. What is dying in vain then? It means death that accomplishes nothing good. It means sacrificing your life, laying down your life for what you think is a good cause but really it accomplished for you zero. There is a religion that is doing that today thinking to die for their god their way is much gain, but they are the ones mocked and deceived, not God. God sent His Son into the world and His Son Sacrifice is the only one with Redeeming glory.
Jesus died to accomplish for us all many many GOOD THINGS, even eternal redemption and salvation. He shed His Blood for our sins to be forgiven, purged, washed away and forgotten. His labor on the cross unto death was not in vain. God raised Him from the dead and sat him down at His own right hand FOR US.
These evil beast who throw themselves into the fire and blow themselves up in the name of their god killing others as they do, they do so to redeem themselves unto paradise. They esteem their death, the sacrifice of themselves with a bomb etc., and the murder of others when they do this terrible act a form of self redemption and as more rewarding and more beneficial for them than the Sacrifice and blood of Jesus Christ, who is Emmanuel in the flesh which means God with us. Jesus said that Satan has deceived them deeply, and has deceived them religiously. They are part of those who Jesus foretold us of and said would think killing others as they do is doing service for God.
These same self sacrificing ones place no value in the blood of Jesus Christ for salvation, nor do they esteem the Cross of Christ to have any redeeming value so they go at it their way as taught them be the deceived false prophets. They die and sacrifice themselves in an exaltation above the Cross of Jesus. They, esteeming not the blood of His Cross and Christ sacrifice to save them, they go about to save themselves by their own death and by the sacrifice of their own flesh unto bits and pieces, but all that they do in their own blood shed is all in vain and gives no advantage to them in eternity though they have been taught otherwise by demons who act as spirits of light. They perish dying in their sins, even the sin of massive murder chained to their account in hell. That is not a way you want to enter into eternity. You want to and must enter eternity FORGIVEN by God thru the afflictions of Christ. Jesus died for our sins and rose again for our blessed sure hope.
But James also preached the same truth about those who call on the name of Jesus but do not BRIDLE THEIR TONGUE. James wrote that he that thinks himself to be religious or spiritual or accomplishing much but he does not bridle his tongue before the living God, all his so called seeming to be religious life and works also are IN VAIN, and profit him zero. I did not say that. You did not write that. The Apostle James by the Holy Spirit wrote those wise sayings. Watching Your Tongue, watching what you say out your mouth to God then is HIGHLY HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
James said IN VAIN is the religion of those who do not WATCH WHAT THEY SAY, who do not WATCH THEIR TONGUE. Who gossip, back bite with their mouths, tell evil stories and jokes, cuss and curse, speak evil words, bad words, grumbling, murmuring, griping words, words of death instead of words of life. There is a difference you know? Watch Your Tongue....Jesus & deno......share freely.
