Do you know Him?
Scripture uses farmers terms. It calls true believers “wheat”, and fake believers “tares”. A tare is a plant that grows up with wheat, but is not true wheat.
Tares are like the piglet that suckles with the kitten’s mother cat. The piglet thinks he’s a kitten because he likes the milk. But he’s only a pig, not a cat. The same is true of folk who like the idea of being blessed by Christ, but never yield to Him.
Funny how we tend to believe what we’re going to believe – no matter what others say. Been there? The same is true with our beliefs about God. Eternity at stake! Why not inquire more deeply and seek to know the truth about God? Dive in, there is plenty of evidence to convince a sincere mind. After all, we’ll spend an eternity with our belief!
Come close to God – before He can not be found. “He will let you find Him.” It’s your choice. However, eventually He will release you to walk your own way. He will stop trying. And soon, it’s too late.
The righteous person is the one that seeks and submits to the will of God. It’s not the perfect one, but the ones who seek Him and submit to Him.
Is Jesus God? If it is true, don’t you want to know that, and follow Him? The best way to know if it’s true — is to examine His claim, right? Or do you want something false? Was Jesus who he said he was? Or not? That is the question. Is it true? Is it […]
The very clearly delineated message of salvation from Jesus Himself, the Gatekeeper to Heaven, is: “deny himself…”, express “a willingness to endure whatever may come”, and “follow Me” – which means “believing in Me, conforming to My example in living”. It’s free. It’s simple. But it will cost you.
If I were to let sin reign in my body, then — what a mess. But I don’t let it. I am not “these things”. I am strong in Him. Only in Him.
Are you trying His patience with the way you live in contradiction to His written will? Got an unrepentant heart? Careful with that. Eventually He may lose patience and give-you-up to your unbridled ways. Examine the signs. Are you NOT following Christ “by an ongoing experience” in your day-to-day living?
Today, what is Right is wrong. What is wrong, is on your Right. The Left is full of it. Are you trying to get to Heaven with your Left foot? Jesus had no Left foot, so where do you think your Left foot leads?
