Romans 14:12 KJV
So, how do you think you are doing? Good?
Do you think that God would be happy with your walk, if you were to be called "Home" today?
“For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
Matthew 12:37 KJV
“But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling-block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.” Romans 14:10-13 KJV
We are not to judge our brother but we are to judge ourselves. If we do so now, here, and confess and repent when we "miss it", then, when we stand before God our sins will be under The Blood!
The Blood of Jesus does indeed cover our sins, but only through daily obedience and walking in repentance of our sin!
“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.”
Revelation 3:5 KJV
Yes, Mercy and Grace are available until repentance is made, but they are not a license to continue in sin. His Word is quite plain what He considers sin.
Ask God to show you your sins and then confess and repent when He does! (James 5:26)
When we first come to God and turn from our sins we feel clean. Then, as we continue in our daily walk we are faced with choices of walking in love or walking as the world does. Often times, we do "it" wrong and without repentance we start picking up some dust. In no time, we find we are a little dirty as the filth of the world begins to build again! If we ask God, He will reveal old sins in our heart that continue to attract the same old sins (anger, fear, worry, bitterness, lust). Those sins have to be dealt with or we again become crusty; our heart is hardened! (A backslidden state)
Repentance is the only way to be rid of the effects of the sins of the world! We've done things the same way for so long and really it's not that bad - right?
Wrong!
We are to be separate from the world! “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.” 1 John 2:15 KJV
We are to obey God's Word! “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15 KJV
He says forgive - we HAVE to forgive! “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
He says don't judge - we DONT judge! “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
Matthew 7:1-2 KJV
When we miss it - we REPENT!
“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:19 KJV
Being scrubbed clean is hard but oh, it feels so good to have the layers of filth we've carried for so long be removed!
Repent while there is still time!
Get clean again!
Sparkle!!!!!
Even so - MARANATHA!
