Growing Closer To Jesus Daily
If anyone tells you they saw God the Father, do not listen to them. Even Jesus said that nobody has seen Him, but only the Son.
Jesus has asked us to be His witnesses. To teach people what He commanded and to baptize them also. This is the great commission.
Matthew 16:25,26 (KJV)
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
In these last four years my passion to read the Bible daily has been burning inside of me. It is no longer a chore to do, but a part of who I am now.
Matthew 16:24-27 (KJV)
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
To continue to live in willful sin is telling God that He doesn’t matter and is storing up His wrath for that wicked person’s life.
Matthew 16:24,25 (KJV)
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
If you feel impelled to have the best things in life, those things that you gain are all vanity. Also, the things that we do not need but gain anyways is only acting out of covetousness.
Matthew 16:24-26 (KJV)
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
When we no longer wish to fall under temptation and sin, that is God drawing us to Him. It is His power that helps us defeat Satan in his trickery.
Living a life for Christ is freedom. We don’t have guilt hanging over our heads any longer. When we sin Jesus pulls us through it.
How many hours, this week, have you watched TV? How many hours, this week, have you read the Bible?
Give up your old ways and come to Christ through prayer. Him alone has power to deliver You from bondage.
We must not rely on other people who know God. There words are great but if we don’t have the Lord in our lives than we won’t be saved.
