Now I won't be able to say all that I would like to because of the space allowed on each post. I eventually hope to be blessed to do videos...
Romans 1:18-23
18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them.
20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beast, and creeping things.
"This is to say that there must be genuine faith in Jesus in order to be saved. Not faith with just words; but faith that leads to repentance and a total turn from the sins that so easily beset us.
God is saying to this generation, you think you know but you have no clue. We must really gain knowledge of the one true God by earnestly studying his holy word. People always say, God is Love. Yes, this is true. But he is also righteous, a hater of sin, just, and jealous. The bible says "my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge". Get to know God for yourself. Not for what your preacher tells you, because to many of preachers today need to spend more time studying the word than speaking.
God will not excuse your ignorance when your life clock expires. And who knows when that will be? He has laid out clear ground rules and guidelines for us to live be. *But we are a disobedient people who make our own idol God in your minds. We say I can believe Christ dies for me and thats the end of it... No, No, NO. Christ is calling each of us to the new birth. We must be born of the spirit, and die to our flesh, our wills, daily....
We must not hold the TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. (Verse 23)
I love you all. Please feel free to leave comments, questions, and prayer request.
More to come tomorrow.
