Things New and Old: Discern between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not

Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

Discern between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not

Of the same flock of One Shepherd, there are BOTH sheep and goats;
Of the One Bridegroom, there are both wise and foolish waiting for him
Of the One Master, there are the faithful and unfaithful servants;
even so,
Of the one people of God, there are them that serve Him
and those that serve Him not.

Malachi 3:18

"Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."

There are two groups in the Israel of God; which are you in?

Can you discern the two?

Here are the wicked

Malachi 3:

13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?

15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

Here are the righteous

Malachi 3

16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
