LIGHT OF DIVINE AGAPE LOVE ~ Stewart Best

COMMENTARY OCTOBER 24, 2005

As I look out upon this God forsaking world and the haughtiness of the human heart, and the almost total rebellion against the Lord, I wonder with awe at His patience, and remember His statement that He does not want any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. Few of His own people know or understand what TRUE REPENTANCE IS, but here is a clue:

2 Cor 7:9-10
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.



Now this verse is a mystery to the "many". What is the difference between WORLDLY SORROW and GODLY SORROW? How does one lead you to AUTHENTIC SALVATION, while the other leads you to ETERNAL RUIN? These are questions that one needs to face head on and inquire within the pages of the Bible and seek the answers from the Holy Spirit. Godly sorrow is the sorrow of the STRAIT GATE and NARROW WAY, the only way that leads to TRUE REPENTANCE. Worldly sorrow, on the other hand, is a BROAD WAY SORROW, that is a form of "getting right" with God, as you hear so often. It is the sorrow of worldly sins, and it can lead to a repentance of sorts, but it is not BIBLICAL REPENTANCE.

The "many" Christians rejected by Jesus Christ THOUGHT they had repented but they had not, because if they had, they would have been truly saved and ushered into the Kingdom instead of being rejected outright with a terse "I never knew you."

The issue between man and God is simple at the baseline. It is a LOVE TYPE ISSUE. True repentance is a repentance that concerns itself WITH THE ROOT CAUSE OF MAN´S SIN, and that is A LOVE TYPE ISSUE. Mankind does not have DIVINE AGAPE LOVE. He lost it at the fall. He was created in the image of God, and God is a SPIRIT, and God is DIVINE AGAPE. God is a spirit of DIVINE AGAPE, and the entire mission of Jesus Christ was to bring this fact to the forefront of his ministry.

The repentance of the world is to be sorry for our multitudes of sins, and usually because we got "caught" and we feel remorse and shame over it. This is the type of "getting right with God" and stopping our sins. We have a sorrow because of our "worldly sins".

You see this in the confessionals of the Catholic Church, or people going up to the alters in the various denominational Protestant churches, etc. We did something wrong so we go and confess it to the Lord, and we think this is what "repentance" is. The multitudes of Christians find out all too late that it was not what the Lord was looking for!! What He wanted was a GODLY SORROW THAT LEADS TO TRUE SALVATION. So how do we explain the difference?

WORLDLY SORROW deals with "worldly sins" and GODLY SORROW deals with COMING TO THE LIGHT OF DIVINE AGAPE AND HAVING OUR DEEDS REPROVED BY THAT STANDARD IN A JUDGMENT. Here is how Christ worded it:



John 3:19-21
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

This verse gives us all the answers as to the crucial and critical difference between the so-called repentance called for by the fake preachers, teachers, evangelists and prophecy teachers in the world today, most of them right here in good ol´ Babylon.

Notice what Christ actually says here. He says THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION. Notice there is ONLY ONE. There are not two, three or four issues here, ONLY ONE. There is no other CONDEMNATION ANYWHERE IN THE SCRIPTURE. ONLY ONE. It is essential people understand that. THERE IS ONLY ONE ISSUE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD. NOT SINS, NOT SIN, BUT RATHER WHY YOU SIN IN THE FIRST PLACE, WHY YOU ARE A FALLEN CREATURE, WHY YOU ARE CLASSIFIED AS "EVIL".

Remember when John the Baptist made the statement about getting to the "root". He meant going below the obvious sin nature of mankind, and putting the AX to the ROOT of WHY we are evil and WHY we sin!!

Matt 3:10
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Now Christ said that there was only ONE CONDEMNATION, and this was it: A REFUSAL TO COME TO THE LIGHT TO HAVE THEIR DEEDS REPROVED. "Light" in this case, is the LIGHT OF DIVINE AGAPE, the LIGHT OF TRUE LOVE, OF DIVINE LOVE.

It is nothing less than a form of the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT, in which people are brought before their creator and "books" are opened and examined. The "books" are our "deeds" throughout our life. They are JUDGED ACCORDING TO ONLY ONE STANDARD: DIVINE AGAPE LOVE. There is no other STANDARD that the Lord of Hosts uses to judge the world.

Now Christ said that people would NOT come to the LIGHT to have their deeds "reproved". Which means they REFUSE THE LORD OF JUDGMENT and His STRAIT GATE and NARROW WAY which leadeth unto LIFE, which is nothing more than REBIRTH IN DIVINE AGAPE, the ONLY way to enter into HEAVEN. There is not other way IN other than that which Christ gave to us. He also said FEW would actually "ENTER IN" because STRAIT WAS THE GATE (FULL OF OBSTACLES) AND NARROW WAS THE WAY (FULL OF ANGUISH AND TRIBULATION or we could say "GODLY SORROW".

So then, what is the REPENTANCE that the Lord is looking for? Obviously He does not want us going around sinning all the time, and says "BE YE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY". So then, what is the answer to this enigma? He tells us: COME TO THE LIGHT OF DIVINE AGAPE, AND HAVE YOUR DEEDS BE REPROVED BY THE "LIGHT". There is no person born upon Earth than can stand before THE DIVINE AGAPE LOVE OF CHRIST without being UTTERLY CONDEMNED BY IT. No one ever born after the fall of man can stand before the LORD. The fire of DIVINE AGAPE shows mankind how AWFUL, and DEEP, and how EVIL THE HUMAN HEART REALLY IS, and how much we HATE THE TRUE GOD.

This concept is utterly DENIED by modern Christian theology, and is reduced down to "belief" rather than a literal standing before the Lord and having the deeds actually and literally EXAMINED and REPROVED BY THE LIVING GOD. Here is the actual sequence as taught by Scripture, and I can personally attest that the Scripture means exactly what it says about coming to the "light":

We have already looked at this verse. Here are some companion verses to confirm it:

John 5:39-40
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

First we are told to COME TO THE LIGHT to have our deeds "reproved". Here we are told that the vast majority of people think that IN THE SCRIPTURES they will actually find "eternal life", and by embracing this or that verse of Scripture and "believing it" and "applying it" to themselves that they now have eternal life. Christ puts the absolute LIE OF THAT to rest swiftly. He claims the Scriptures are only A TESTIMONY OF HIMSELF. They are INK ON PAPER, A TESTIMONY. The Scriptures are NOT CHRIST HIMSELF! The Bible is a BOOK OF TESTIMONY. Notice how He words it: "AND YE WILL NOT COME TO ME THAT YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE." Wow!!

The word "life" is the same word used by Christ when He speaks of the Narrow way AND HOW IT LEADS UNTO "LIFE". And guess who it is that GIVES YOU THIS "LIFE"? None other than Jesus Christ Himself, for IN THE SON IS DIVINE AGAPE "LIFE".

Now obviously we must believe that Christ is ALIVE, do we not? And if He is ALIVE, then we could actually and literally meet Him, could we not? Is there any such literal and actual meeting like this spoken of by Scripture that is totally ignored by modern Christianity and even denied and branded as demonic or Satanic?

You better believer there is, and it is easy to prove. It confirms EVERYTHING we have said so far:

John 14:21-23
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
KJV


Now here is where I personally get all confused by the mockers, the gainsayers, and the accusers who claim this "encounter" is demonic and Satanic. Are they calling Jesus Christ Satanic, for He is the one who said it!! Well, that´s nothing new, for that is what they called Him when He walked the earth!!

They also claim this is "Stew Best Theology". Christ did not come to me and ask me how to write the Bible. As I recall, I was born in 1940, some many hundreds of years after Christ was here and went back to heaven. I do not recall that He came to me and asked me how to write the New Testament, or the Old for that matter. However, it SAYS WHAT IT SAYS. The words "manifest myself" means EXACTLY what it says, and the gainsayers and the mockers will regret everything lest they repent a GODLY REPENTANCE.

The word "manifest" means to REVEAL, to SHOW OPENLY. Who is Christ? He was DIVINE AGAPE INCARNATE. HE MANIFESTED INTO OUR TIME-SPACE MATERIAL UNIVERSE and showed us what DIVINE AGAPE REALLY WAS AND IS. Christ was the LIVING SPIRIT OF DIVINE LOVE. He was THE LIGHT. Does anyone dare to DENY THAT?

Now then, if Christ IS THE LIGHT, and we are commanded to COME TO THE LIGHT, and we are likewise commanded to COME TO HIM, then would this not be an experiential "encounter" with the DIVINE? How can you come to the "light" by just believing something? You are commanded TO COME, and Christ gave the way to do it: ENTER YE IN AT THE STRAIT GATE, and WALK THE NARROW WAY THAT LEADS UNTO LIFE, AND THAT LIFE IS IN" THE SON".

It is easily proved correct. The many REJECTED, the MULTITUDES, that is MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS rejected by Christ, were rejected for only ONE REASON:

"I NEVER EXPERIENTIALLY KNEW YOU."

The word "knew" is an "experiential" knowing. Want it in "New Age" terminology? "MIND MELT". That is being "co-joined" with Jesus Christ is the act of authentic REBIRTH or REGENERATION or being "QUICKENED". The word "quickened" means to be BROUGHT TOGETHER WITH. To be reanimated together with Christ. To be JOINED WITH. To "meet" to "become together with, to be in agreement with".

Christ did not rejected the "many" for any other reason whatsoever. He rejected them because THEY REFUSED TO COME TO THE LIGHT (WHICH WAS HIMSELF) and they refused to be JUDGED by that light. He claims He never "knew them", which is totally IMPOSSIBLE if they had in truth been BORN AGAIN, or had come to the light, which was Him. To be "born from above" means to be resurrected in the SPIRIT OF GOD, THE SPIRIT OF DIVINE AGAPE. That is what REBIRTH is all about. It cannot occur without UNION with Christ. The love of Christ is so radically different than any love mankind has, and is so awesome that no person on Earth can stand before it. His loves is so great there are no words to describe it. It must be "seen", "experienced", and shown by supernatural "revelation" to the believer to wit:

Matt 11:27
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Look up the word "reveal" for yourself if you don´t believe what it says.

Now stop and think about this for a minute. If the ONLY ENTRANCE to heaven is VIA AN "ENCOUNTER WITH CHRIST" and you were Satan and you wanted NO ONE to escape your grasp, what would you do? You would REMOVE the literal and fully experiential "encounter" and substitute "belief" in its place. You would remove the STRAIT GATE, and the NARROW WAY, or CHANGE WHAT IT MEANT. And that is EXACTLY what has been done by the deceived preachers, teachers and evangelists out there. They have not a clue, and they DENY ALL OF THIS WITH GREAT ANGER.

Well, my reply is simple: Jesus said it, and Jesus meant what He said, further confirmed:

Rev 3:20-22
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.



Now I ask all of you a very simple question. How could Christ come into a person, SUP WITH THAT PERSON, and NOT KNOW THAT PERSON? And how you that happen without you knowing it? How could the GOD OF ALL HEAVEN AND EARTH, the God who created TIME, SPACE, ENERGY, MATTER, LIFE, SOUL, SAND SPIRIT come into our puny sin filled, DARK SOULS and SPIRITS and ´COMMUNE" WITH US, and we NOT KNOW IT?

How could a God of PURE, BEAUTIFUL, AWESOME DIVINE LOVE ENTER INTO US and we not be aware of it? That is like asking us to believe that we could we be within one mile of an atomic bomb blast in a bunker and not know it went off. You most certainly would know. But Satan does not want you to know that. He wants you to just "believe" a few verses of Scripture and take those and apply them to yourself and "presto" you are "born again" and going to heaven. HOGWASH!! RUBBISH!! PURE LIES!!

People all over the world "sincerely" believe in their various "religions". Jesus Christ did not bring a new "religion" to Earth, He TERMINATED ALL OF THAT with something so radically different few understand it. He brought with Him the instructions for how to obtain a NEW HEART OF DIVINE AGAPE, a NEW HEART WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD PLACED WITHIN IT.

Jesus Christ brought with Him the NEW COVENANT, and the New Covenant is a covenant of Divine Agape. You enter the New Covenant by the REVELATION OF, and the ACCEPTANCE of THIS NEW LOVE TYPE - HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD, UNKNOWN except to the ELECT, who have COME TO CHRIST, who have COME TO THE LIGHT, who have been JUDGED and REPROVED BY THAT LIGHT, and have REPENTED of their LACK OF DIVINE AGAPE, and who OPEN THE DOOR to their INNER HOLY OF HOLIES and LET CHRIST ASCEND TO THEIR THRONE.

Satan LOVES religion. Religions, including most of modern "Christianity" now better called "Churchianity" are CONTROLLERS. They are used to CONTROL and BLEED the believers until they are dead, and when they "cross over" they find out the hard way what the actual truth really was. Try sometime to ask some key questions to your church leadership that they cannot answer, and if you persist, they will simply ask you to leave to find "another church home".

It is a Satanic racket of huge proportions. Jesus came to SET US FREE, and said that if we would FIND THE TRUTH, the TRUTH WOULD SET US FREE, and FREE INDEED. That word "indeed" means TOTALLY and completely set free. Brought out of the PRISON HOUSE called Earth controlled by Satan and his demonic armies with all of its "religions, theologies, isms and whatever". It´s all part of THE GAME. It´s real, it´s harsh, and no quarter is ever given by Satan and no mercy is ever shown.

You have a deadly enemy. He relies upon your bias, your belief structure, your upbringing to keep you in his prison. He does not want you to venture out to "find the truth". The Truth you are to "find" is Jesus Christ Himself!! And you have the full protection of God Himself if you will decide to search it out at all cost. Remember the Lord does not want ANY TO PERISH, but for ALL TO COME TO REPENTANCE. A Godly repentance brought about by GODLY SORROW, that worketh a REPENTANCE NOT TO BE REPENTED OF.

Check it out for yourself, don´t take my word for it, but please BELIEVE WHAT THE LORD AS TO SAY ABOUT IT IN THE SCRIPTURES, and POST HASTE make a run for the STRAIT GATE and NARROW WAY while we have time, for the GATES OF HELL WILL SOON BE OPENED, and THE DESTROYER comes.
