Whoopie Pie (filling) – We Love God!

One of the best evidences that we are truly seeking Heaven is the possession of hearts that are weaned from this world. None will ever enter the Father’s House on high in whose soul the first fruits of heavenly peace and joy does not grow now. He who finds his satisfaction in temporal things is woefully deceived if he imagines he can enjoy eternal things. He whose joy is all gone when earthly possessions are snatched from him, knows nothing of that peace which “passeth all understanding.” And yet, if the auto, radio, newspaper, money to go to the movies, were taken away from the average “church member,” what would he then have left to make life worth living?

If Christ has borne whatever our sins deserved, and by doing so has satisfied God’s justice to the full, then God cannot, in justice, punish us for sin, for that would require the full payment from Christ and yet demand part of it from us... God does not chastise us as a means of satisfaction for sin, but for rebuke and caution, to bring us to mourn for sin committed, and to beware of the like. It must always be remembered that, although Christ has borne the punishment of sin, and although God has forgiven the saints for their sins, yet God may correct His people in a fatherly way for their sin. Christ endured the great shower of wrath, the black and dismal hours of displeasure for sin. That which falls upon us is as a sun-shine shower, warmth with wetness, wetness with the warmth of His love, to make us fruitful and humble… That which the believer suffers for sin is not penal, arising from vindictive justice, but medicinal, arising from a fatherly love. It is His medicine, not His punishment; His chastisement, not His sentence; His correction, not His condemnation.

Underlying causes of legalism: 1. Humanistic concept of self-control – “I’m in control of how things go.” 2. Humanistic concept of self-effort, “works” – trying, striving, “I can do it.” 3. False security needs for defined parameters, limitations, borders 4. Work-ethic concept of strict reciprocity – “Get what you work for” 5. Punitive concept of getting what one deserves 6. Traditionalism of maintaining status quo 7. Simplism of dividing life into compartments with instant solutions; fundamentalism. Got a handle on it – all figured out. Instant solutions – don't have to think or trust. 8. Fear of freedom, of decision-making responsibility (Rom. 8:15) 9. Security need for something that is fixed and static, concrete and tangible. Inordinate need to be safe and right 10. Favorite of sadomasochistic personalities; perfectionists, Pharisees.
