The King’s math\n1.1. Christ = King (Luk 23:1-2)\n1.2. Love = Loyalty (Joh 14:15)\n1.3. Upgrade = Sacrifice (Phi 2:5-11)\n1.4. Holiness = Intolerance (of sin) (2Co 7:1)\n1.5. My King is King > All other Kings (gods included) (Mat 28:18).\n1.6. My King’s reboot > than your best life now. (Rev 21:1-5).\n1.7. Serve the King = savor the Kingdom (Phi 1:21-23)\n2. The King’s inquiry\n2.1. Do you serve the King? (or, I serve the King, who do you serve?) (1Jo 5:19)\n2.2. Why would anyone be so stupid not to serve the King? Only the King can offer a life free from pain (Rev 21:4 versus the Atheist/religions of the world = Free from pain at death – not during life.

You continue to practice sin (thinking yourself to be immune to its eternal consequences) and you will be guilty of treating the King’s blood as an unclean thing and declared apostate by God (Heb 10:26-30; Deu 29:18-20).\n3.2. The King requires more than faith alone.\n3.2.1. The mantra of the modern-day church, is “nobody is perfect” (e.g., “We are a church who likes to say, ‘we are not perfect and don’t pretend be.’” – Easter postcard from a church in Centennial, CO)\n3.2.2. If God expected perfection, then why did He send His Son to die for our sins?\n3.2.3. Though God does not expect perfection, He does expect faithful obedience. IOW: you won’t get to heaven on just faith alone (1Jo 2:4, 3:5-10; Mat 13:41; Jam 2:24).\n3.2.4. No excuses. We can be faithful (Deu 30:11-20).\n3.2.5.
