Don’t Create Your Own God – February 17
Dear Reader,
We’re living in a time where many have made God Almighty into what they want rather than who He is! Many think they’re good, and for the most part many are good. But let’s look at this in God’s way. Have you ever read the Ten Commandments? God gave us the Law, yet I wonder how many of us have broken any of them? I know I have, have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever looked at someone with lust in your heart? I’m sure most of us have done all three more than once!
Mankind needs to understand how much God loves us! Not one of us could live according to the law! Therefore, God sent Jesus to this earth, to be our Savior, the Lamb of God to pay the sacrifice for our sins. Freedom comes when we acknowledge we’ve sinned and have done wrong before a Holy God. We repent, what does it mean to repent someone just asked? It means to acknowledge what Jesus did on the cross, tell Him you’re truly sorry and receive forgiveness for your sins. Then pick up your cross and follow JESUS’ Word. The Word of God, and the Holy Spirit will help you to turn and renew your mind. You’ll learn a whole new way of thinking and living.
When I came to Jesus, I was so shocked when I realized not one Christian told me I was on the road to hell. If I had died in my sin without Jesus as my Savior, I would’ve been judged for my sin. I didn’t know there was a way to God. I finally came to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, I repented, turned away from my sinful ways, opened my Bible and read it every day. Then I found a good church where the Bible was being preached a place where I could learn and grow in my new walk. I was heartbroken to find all those Christians who had been around me, yet never told me about the greatest gift of all. I made up my mind, after about a week of my salvation I was going to tell everyone I met about Jesus. Even if it upset a few, I don’t want anyone to go to hell.
Today many create their God, to appease their lifestyle, it’s Satan’s trick to keep them on the road to destruction. Are you Born-Again? Is Jesus your Lord and Savior? II Corinthians 13:5; “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless indeed you are disqualified.†II Corinthians 4:1-6; “Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.†Don’t create your own god to appease your lifestyle! Hell is hot and eternity is forever!
Come to Jesus! He is the only way! He gave His all! Just so you could be free. Read in the New Testament John chapter three. I love you. I love enough to tell you the truth!
