Fig Tree Withered From Its Roots
Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: To show that we need CHRIST, without CHRIST we are nothing.
Apostasy or backslidden state:
Hebrews 6:8 (Amplified Bible)
6:8 But if [that same soil] persistently bears thorns and thistles, it is considered worthless and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
A christian not abiding in CHRIST:
John 15:6 (Amplified Bible)
15:6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.
Useless leaders, rulers and dignitaries of the earth:
Isaiah 40:23-24 (Amplified Bible)
40:23 Who brings dignitaries to nothing, Who makes the judges and rulers of the earth as chaos (emptiness, falsity, and futility).
40:24 Yes, these men are scarcely planted, scarcely are they sown, scarcely does their stock take root in the earth, when [the Lord] blows upon them and they wither, and the whirlwind or tempest takes them away like stubble.
Wicked people:
Job 18:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
18:16 The roots [of the wicked] shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off and wither.
18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
Wicked and the hypocrites:
Job 20:5-7 (Amplified Bible)
20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless and defiled is but for a moment?
20:6 Though his [proud] height mounts up to the heavens and his head reaches to the clouds,
20:7 Yet he will perish forever like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, Where is he?
you don't have to be a murderer to be wicked,we are wicked because of Adam.
Romans 5:12 (Amplified Bible)
5:12 Therefore, as sin came into the world through one man, and death as the result of sin, so death spread to all men, [no one being able to stop it or to escape its power] because all men sinned.
but we can be holy, just and right with GOD because of the second Adam:
1 Corinthians 15:45-47 (Amplified Bible)
15:45 Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life].
15:46 But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual.
15:47 The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven.
There's still hope for the fig tree or the fallen state of Israel, they need to come to CHRIST.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Come to CHRIST and be whole again. Rest is our faith, complete trust, belief and surrended to the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Matthew 11:28 (Amplified Bible)
11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]
