2 Corinthians 6:2 KJV
Is today the day you truly make Jesus LORD of your life?
Is today the day you accept The Pardon of your sins? Accept His sacrifice; His dying on the cross, so that you don't have to pay for the sins you have committed against God?
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV
Is today the day you finally give it all, in submission to The Lover of your soul?
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
But you say, "I've already done that!"
“And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”
2 Corinthians 5:15 KJV
Are you living for Him or are you living for yourself?
Is He ever present in your mind? Do you consider Him in everything you do? Or is He something you just "do" twice a week?
Is He a part of your life?
Or is He your life?
Are you sold out?
I submit to you that you are deceived if you think the God of the Universe sent His Son to die for your sin, so that you can half-heartedly play Christian!
I submit to you that just because you walked the aisle and confessed Jesus Lord of your life, but saw no change in your life, that you are not saved; no matter what your denomination says!
If you believe yourself to be saved, but you do what you want to do, instead of what God says to do in His Word, you are deceived!
If what your denomination believes is more important to you than what the Word of God says; you are deceived!
If you refuse to obey His Commandments that say you are to confess your sins one to another (James 5:16), forgive those that have hurt you (Matt 6:14-15), and repent (Matt 4:17), yet believe you will go to heaven when you die; you are deceived!
The devil deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden and they knew God; walked with Him; talked with Him! What makes you think you couldn't be deceived? What makes you think that your denomination and their traditions are not deceived?
Why do you think that something so important as your salvation and where you spend eternity would require so little on your part?
Yes, we can't have salvation without Jesus, that's why He sacrificed Himself for us, but do you really think He winks at the sin you commit everyday and will let your unrepentant heart "slide into home"?
If you really think you "are good", that "God knows your heart", that you are saved, sanctified and heading to glory, but live like the devil in rebellion and pride, bitterness, anger, fear - you are deceived!
If you are angry at this post, but claim that you are a Christian, you are deceived!
You don't have to be!
Ask God to open your eyes, open your ears, and change your heart! Deliberately choose Him! Repent! Ask forgiveness for your sin and surrender your will to His! Humble yourself; make Him LORD!
Trust me, He will do so much more with your life than you have done!
Repent today - for you may not have tomorrow!
Even so - MARANATHA!
