Hearing the Father speak to our hearts is vital to our salvation. How can we even think that we are saved if the Lord is not with us?
Proverbs 1:22,23 (KJV)
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
If you believe that you are saved and will go to heaven, then search your heart to see if you are for God.
Proverbs 1:5-7 (KJV)
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
To gain knowledge, we must first understand the meaning of fear. We learn that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”
Many false teachings can come into a church, when new “so-called” revelation begins to override what the Bible teaches.
Those whose hearts are closed off to God’s will, in their life, are on a slippery slope to hell. Unless they open their hearts to God, they will surely die in their sins.
Proverbs 3:1-3 (KJV)
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
How can somebody believe in their heart that they are saved, when they are acting out against God. Often people have other things that give them comfort and joy.
Mormons now believe that the Bible is corrupted and Joseph’s re-translation of the King James Version Bible was necessary.
Proverbs 30:5,6 (KJV)
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Each time a woman has an abortion, she is committing murder. People go to jail and killed for this same act but they are getting off scot free.
This evening was surely a gift from God. Its purpose was to listen to others. Lend an ear and bear each other’s burdens.
There is no other way to heaven but through Jesus Christ. The words of the Bible are our guide. Those that read God’s word daily will know the way.
This life is short. Be grateful for everyday that the Lord gives you breath. If you have delayed your repentance be grateful that God has not shortened your life, in order to be saved.
No matter the appearance of the church we go to, if their teachings are not Biblical than leave that faith.
It is amazing that God has given us a pathway to heaven. It may be narrow but the fruits of walking on God’s path is life eternal.
Know that if the Bible is teaching something contrary to your faith than there is something wrong with it and not the Book.
My prayer is that people come to know Jesus. Read the Bible and you will understand the importance of the Lord in your lives.
When the Spirit of the Lord is among us we will learn knowledge. He will instruct us to do His will. He will “guide your heart in the way” that is wise.
We all fall. There are times when our pride gets the best of us. In these moments when we make mistakes be honest and don’t make up excuses.
With the Lord’s help we can do anything. Even a life of sin can be turned upside down. I felt the Lord’s forgiveness in my life and anyone else with this addiction can too.
We don’t need to bear the world on our own. We have a Savior that loves us and will comfort us. He will lift us up and give us strength.
