Their Feet Are Swift To Shed Innocent Blood.

There are many in the world today who have feet that are swift to shed innocent blood. The bible tells us their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. There is much evil in the world today. We, as Christians, must avoid this evil that we are not corrupted by the lies of the world.

There are many today who teach that one must follow the letter of the law. The bible plainly tells us the letter killeth while the spirit gives life. These men that shed innocent blood are contrary to God. God blesses us with the opportunity for eternal life, while these men wish to destroy life. No murderer has any inheritance in the kingdom of God. They remain under the law. Their mouth will be stopped and they will become guilty before God, except they find repentance.

Murderers that shed innocent blood began with the life of Cain. Cain was the first murderer recorded in the bible. He slew his brother Abel who brought the lamb to God for an offering. Since this time, murderers have saturated the world. Each and every one has the hatred that Cain had for his brother Abel. We cannot follow the way of Cain and inherit eternal life. We must find repentance from our evil nature. We must cleanse our hands of the innocent blood and promote life through faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The book of James tells us to cleanse our hands and purify our hearts. We cannot be double minded and follow the faith of Jesus Christ. We must have our eyes fixed upon Jesus. If we have eyes full of adultery, the evil eye, we are following the way of Balaam. We must cleanse our hands of innocent blood. We must not have feet that are swift to run to mischief and bloodshed. How much more beautiful, the feet of them that publish the gospel of peace which promotes eternal life, rather than bloodshed.
