Get Your Faith Straight - Part 2
To say you are a Christian but not follow the
bible, is like handing an empty cup to a thirsty person. Nothing you could ever offer them would satisfy
because they need water and you don't have it.
Getting your faith straight would require making
sure you are really saved. I have heard
leaders say they were Christians, but
they help the devil openly in the things
for which they stand. They stand for the
very things that have brought God's judgment
upon other nations in the past. The things God speaks against in His Word. I
have heard people of other faiths say they were Christians, but teach doctrine
that does not even exist in scripture and is contrary to scripture. In both the cases I mentioned, they would say they are people of faith. Yes maybe they have faith, it may even be
great faith, but having faith in the wrong things will not be blessed by God.
To think you are saved is not good enough, you can
know you are saved. I was reminded by
God, just last night of something I heard a very long time ago. It slipped out
of my lips, even though I hadn't thought about it in years. It was a saying I once heard a preacher say," It's not a hope so salvation, It's a
know so salvation.
When you know your saved it will show and if you
know it, you will show it, by how you live and what you do. When you love God , there will be evidence in
your life because when Jesus lives in your heart
it will shine forth in a dark world. Just like a lighthouse on a hill showing
people the way.
1John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Father God,
Help true believers to love you by our behavior
and forgive us if we have not loved you, as we should, in times past. Open the eyes of those who have professed
Christianity but never possessed true faith in Christ. Help others to understand that they may KNOW
that they can belong to you as new born children of God. Show them they can have assurance of heaven
through Christ and his finished work at Calvary.
In Christ Jesus I Pray This, Amen
