Thoughts just for you…

The Christian life is a process of becoming more and more like Christ. (Romans 8:29)

We need to purify ourselves. What does purify mean? It means to keep morally straight, free from the corruption of sin. God also purifies us, but there is action we must take to remain morally fit. (I Timothy 5:12) (James 4:8) (Ipeter 1:22.)

We need to also know the difference in commiting a sin and continuing to sin. Even the most faithful sometimes commit sins, but they don’t cherish a particular sins and choose to commit it. A believer who commits a sin repents, confesses and finds forgiveness. A person who continues to sin, is not sorry for what they are doing. Thus this person never confesses and never receives forgiveness. Such a person is in opposition to God no matter what religious claims they make.

Three steps are necessary to find victory over sin:

  1. Seek the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s word.
  2. Stay away from tempting situations.
  3. Seek the help of the body of Christ. Be open to their willingness to hold you accountable and pray for you.

So, live your life in a way that you can feel peace with your heavenly Father. Obey His ways, and believe that He sent His only Son down to this earth to die for you and me.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

Above all… never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you…

 

If we live for God, the world will often hate us, because we make them painfully aware of their immoral way of living.

Christianity is a religion of the heart; outward compliance alone is not enough. Bitterness against someone, who has wronged you, is an evil cancer within you and will eventually destroy you.

We need to show outward love beside our inward love for God to let others know about Him through our example.

Real love is an action, not a feeling. It develops a selfless, sacrificial giving of your love. The greatest act of love is to give yourself to others. How can we “lay down our lives? By serving others with no thought of receiving anything in return.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

Above all….never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you…

In the Bible we are warned about false prophets. I Peter and I John talks about them.

This brings up the question: How do we know if a person is a false prophet?

There are several ways to test a person giving a message to try to sway us.

  • Check to see if their words match what God says in the Bible.
  • What is their commitment to the body of believers, and the fruit of their ministry.
  • The most important test is, what do they believe about Christ? Do they teach that Jesus is God and the only begotten Son who came down to this earth and gave up His life for us?

Our world is full with voices claiming to speak for God. Check them out with these tests to see if they are truly speaking God’s truth.

Verify every message you hear, even if the person who brings says it is from God. If it truly is from God, it will be consistent with Christ’s teachings.

There is even the Antichrist who will be the great deceiver. He will be very popular on this earth, because he will say what people want to hear. He will make them feel good with the evil they are doing.

As Christians what you will say will not win you any popularity contest. People don’t want to hear their sins denounced; they don’t want to listen  demands that they change their behavior. A false teacher will be highly received by non-Christians.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!
