"neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

(Luke‬ ‭16‬:‭19-31‬ KJV)

UNFAILING LOVE

THE LORD is my Shepherd
[to feed, guide, and shield me],
I shall not lack.
He makes me lie down
in [fresh, tender] green pastures;

He leads me beside the still
and restful waters. [Rev. 7:17.]

He refreshes and restores my life
(my self); "behold all things are new!"

He leads me in the paths of righteousness
 [uprightness and right standing with Him–
not for my earning it, but] 
for His name's sake.

Yes, though I walk through the
[deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear or dread no evil,
for You are with me;

Your rod [to protect] and Your staff
[to guide], they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies

You anoint my head with oil;
my [brimming] cup runs over.

Surely or only goodness, mercy,
and unfailing love shall follow me 
all the days of my life,
and through the length of my days 
the house of the Lord [and His presence] 
shall be my dwelling place.

(‭Psalm‬ ‭23‬:‭1-6‬ AMP)

"THE OLD IS BETTER"

"No man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles,

and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; 

and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new:

for he saith, The old is better."
(‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭37-39‬ KJV)

We see in these words of Jesus that the sinner is not naturally inclined to salvation or taste "new wine". The wretchedness of the sinner is only acknowledged when the Holy Spirit convicts the deceitful heart of sin. When the sins are ever before the troubled soul, there is no rest or consolation in the flesh. The pleasure of sin has ceased. "Tribulation and anguish upon every soul that sins".
The grace of God brings godly sorrow to the sinner unto repentance. The convicting work of the Holy Spirit "pricks the heart" and judges the sinner, because of sin. When the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, reveals the intentions and deceitfulness of the heart to the sinner, he is condemned. The word is manifest through prophesying.
"Have mercy upon me, O God! According to your loving kindness and tender mercy, I pray, Blot out all my sins...create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me". We only pray to God. Desperately. We know that without God we can do nothing to save ourselves. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophesy and the evidence of His salvation is revealed by His blood "shed for many", for the remission of sins. "He whom the Son sets free is free indeed." Meditate. Memorize the holy scriptures. Make no more provision for the lusts of the flesh. So that you may be taught of The Lord to deny ungodliness and to live sober and righteous and holy in this present world by the Spirit of Christ dwelling inside. "Let the word of God dwell richly in your minds". God be with you and quicken your body in newness of life in Christ Jesus. Amen.

WEEP AND HOWL, FOR YOUR MISERIES THAT SHALL COME UPON YOU WHO HAVE HEAPED TREASURES FOR YOURSELVES IN THESE LAST DAYS

"Go to now, ye rich men,
weep and howl for your miseries
that shall come upon you.
Your riches are corrupted,
and your garments are motheaten.
Your gold and silver is cankered;
and the rust of them
shall be a witness against you,
and shall eat your flesh as it were fire.

Ye have heaped treasure together
for the last days.

Behold, the hire of the labourers
who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth:
and the cries of them which have reaped
are entered into the ears of the Lord
of sabaoth.

Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth,
and been wanton;
ye have nourished your hearts,
as in a day of slaughter.

Ye have condemned and killed the just;
and he doth not resist you."

(‭James‬ ‭5‬:‭1-6‬ KJV)
