1 John 3:17

But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?

We do not teach on the issue of God’s abiding love nearly enough. Perhaps it is because so much emphasis is placed on the saving of the soul. The soul is composed of the mind, will and emotions of a person. All three are flesh and do not exist without a body. The saving of a soul cannot happen without the body also being taken to eternity.

1 Corinthians 15:53

For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

That is a desire of the flesh not of the spirit because the spirit is already eternal and cannot die. All mankind shall put off this mortal coil and become eternal. That does not mean we will all get to stay in the presence of God. The rest of those eternal souls will go with that other group.

Revelation 14:14

The Harvest of the Earth

Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.

Revelation 14:18

And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.”

Two separate harvest, the later being the grapes of wrath.

All will be harvested. Which harvest festival will you attend?

• Exodus 24:12
  The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.”
• Exodus 31:18
  And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

God wrote His commandments on stone with His own finger.

Exodus 32:19

And as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses’ anger burned hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.

Moses’ anger broke God’s Law even before it was given to Israel.

Exodus 34:1

Moses Makes New Tablets

The Lord said to Moses, “Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

Where God provided the first two tablets, Moses had to make the effort to cut new tablets for God’s commandments to be written again by God. While his anger broke the law his obedience helped restore the law. His obedience only gave God a place to write the law.

Hebrews 9:4

having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron’s staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

The tablets were placed in the Ark of the Covenant and hidden from our sight.

2 Corinthians 3:3

And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

The Ark has been replaced by human hearts, just as the tablets were replaced by human obedience. But the writing is still done by God’s finger.
