Are we
living the right life for the Lord? Some of us may say they are, In one breathe
one my say, I'm a good person. The bible tell us that doing good alone will not
save you.
James 2:14 What
doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have
not works? can faith save him?
James 2:
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith,
and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my
faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that
there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith
without works is dead?
Now is the
accepted time to receive the gift of salvation
2
Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be
repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
John 3:3 Jesus
answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
II
Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the
day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted
time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Why do we
feel compelled to be lead by the devil? Because we don't have enough of God in
us to live a Godly and, holy life for the Lord.
James
1:14-15 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and
enticed. 15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it
is finished, bringeth forth death.
If the word
of God is in us why do you sin? Because you love the world more then you love
God. What is loving the world? The bible tells us not to covet.
Romans 7:7 What
shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin,
but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt
not covet.
The bible
tells us that if we love the world we don't love the Father in Heaven.
I John 2:15 Love
not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love
the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Anything in
the world that draws us away from reading the word of God, praying, doing God's
work could be attached to the works of Satan.
Hebrews
10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my
soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Let's us be
totally committed to the Lord Jesus Christ and, reap the benefits of a well
rounded life with God. Be always ready at the coming of the Lord, because his
time is getting near for us to finally be at rest with him in Heaven.
James 5:8 Be
ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
If
you are not a Christian, I invite you to receive the hope and peace in your
heart that only Jesus gives.
To become a Christian, you must deal with Christ Jesus directly. In A
quiet moment, bow your head and talk to him. In your own words say something
like this:
“Dear Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I believe
that you died and rose from the dead to save me from my sins. I want to be with
you in heaven forever. God, forgive me of all my sins that I have committed
against you. Wash me in your precious blood. I here and now open my heart to
you and ask you to come into my heart and life and be my personnel Savior.
Amen.”
If you say that to Christ and mean it, He will
come in instantly. At once you will sense you have been transferred from the
devil’s dominion to the kingdom of God. Read Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation.
