💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: As we live in these biblical last days, we cannot actively be engaging in what God hates: SIN! SCRIPTURE IS UNANIMOUS: THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD! GOD SAID IN TITUS 2:12 to: "live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world." BELOVED, WE ARE TO REJECT ALL UNGODLINESS & IMMORAL DESIRES! AND WE CAN DO SO BECAUSE, "11 ...the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us to live sensible, upright, and godly lives [lives with a purpose that reflect spiritual maturity] in this present age, 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:11-13). Amen!
Now that we are in Christ, born-again and filled with His Holy Spirit, we strive to live a life that is not characterized by sin! Listen, we can't be walking around saying "I know Christ and have fellowship with Him" and still be in blatant, deliberate, knowing, perpetual sin, talking about “I have come to know Him!” John is telling us over there in 1 John 2:4-6, THAT YOU'RE A LIAR! DON'T LOOK AT ME! JOHN SAID THAT! LOOK, 4 "Whoever says, “I have come to know Him,” but does not habitually keep [focused on His precepts and obey] His commandments (teachings), is a liar, and the truth [of the divine word] is not in him. 5 But whoever habitually keeps His word and obeys His precepts [and treasures His message in its entirety], in him the love of God has truly been perfected [it is completed and has reached maturity]. By this we know [for certain] that we are in Him: 6 whoever says he lives in Christ [that is, whoever says he has accepted Him as God and Savior] ought [as a moral obligation] to walk and conduct himself just as He walked and conducted Himself." AMEN!
WE MUST KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE PENALTY OF SIN: DEATH!
JAMES 1:13-16, "13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God” [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion). 15 Then when the illicit desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin has run its course, it gives birth to death. 16 Do not be misled, my beloved brothers and sisters." AMEN!
THE MIND MUST BE RENEWED AND WE MUST BE YE TRANSFORMED!
As followers of Christ, we are no longer conformed to this "world" because we no longer belong to the spirit of this age. We have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God’s beloved Son (Colossians 1:13). So, rather than continuing to conform to this world, we are to be transformed by changing our way of thinking. And it starts with repentance. And what is biblical repentance? It is changing your old way of thinking, turning from your sinful ways and living changed lives, OTHERWISE, WE WILL ALL PERISH (study Luke 13:3-5)! AMEN! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
