I was reading the word of God today. And I read Jeremiah 7. When God pointed out to me that my religion can never save me. You ever heard the saying my parents are christians and I go to church. So that means that I am a christian too.But that's not true. Let's look at Jeremiah 7 :8-11- Behold, you will trust in lying words that cannot profit. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely,burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know, and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by name, and say, " We are delivered to do all these abominations? How can anyone think they are righteous but yet our hearts and actions have not changed? Isn't this the same report that John the Baptist told the people in the wilderness. As the word of God says in Luke 3:7,8- Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance. We have a God that is a consuming fire, he cannot tolerate the look of sin. So don't you know that his eyes are like a flame of fire. He can see the secrets of our soul. ( Revelation 1:14) Meaning we cannot possible think that we are going to go to heaven with sin still dwelling in us.God wants us to become more and more like Jesus. As the word of says in Roman 8:29- For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His of Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Remember what Apostle Paul told us that if we do the things of the flesh continually we never inherit the kingdom of God. As the word of God says in Galatians 5:21- just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. We are called to be set apart and not to pursue our old lusts anymore or any new one. As the word of God of says in 1 Peter 1:14- as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts as in your ignorance. So how can we think we have God's approval when we are still conform to our old ways . Either we have lost the fear of the Lord, or we are not in love with the Lord as we thought. And this is why we have to commit ourselves to Lord and forget about the world .Because the world does not love us, and it brings in many sorrows to us. As the word of God says in Matthew 18"7- Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come,but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! SO Just because we see other churches doing things that we know that are not aligned with God's righteousness we should not join in with them. As the word of God says in 1 Timothy 5:22-nor share in other people's sins, keep yourself pure. The point of this brothers and sisters is to let you know that God is going to hold us accountable . And we are going to have to give an account to him. As the word of God says 2 Corinthians 5:10- For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. So do not believe in this lie any longer that just because I am in church means I am saved. But rather look up at Jesus who was pierced for our sins. As the word of Zechariah 12:10-Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the house of David and the residents of Jerusalem, and they will look at Me whom they pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child and weep bitterly for Him as one weeps for a firstborn. Depend on Jesus and look for his grace to help you. Grace be with you all that read this in Jesus Name.
If you want to have a relationship with Jesus say this prayer: Lord Jesus please deliver from the deception of religion. I have look upon you who was pierced for my sins. And I am touch by your grace. Lord Jesus I want to have a relationship with you, Lord Jesus blot out all my sins from my youth, present, and future. Make me a new creation in you. I ask you Lord Jesus to fill me with your Holy Spirit. In Jesus Name,
Praise God you are a New Creation. Get a New King James Version bible or even NIV or King James Bible. Go to a God fearing church, read your bible daily, pray daily, fellowship with the body of Christ. Grace be with you on journey with the Lord.
