DO YOU FEAR GOD?
Ecclesiastes 8:11 (KJV) Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Psalms 36:1 (KJV) The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
The fear of God and reverence for him, is reflected in our actions, not what we say only. Sometimes we sin intentionally with the mindset that, God would not do anything to us. We know He can do something, but we feel because of grace, nothing would happen. In our minds remember the last time we engaged in such sins nothing happened, so there is no need to be bothered. I have heard of instances where people preferred to take their cases to fe**sh shrines for justice; knowing that the justice of God grinds even slower than our legal courts. There are Christians who fear deities more than God, knowing very well that God is slow in acting against evil things we do. We must never be deceived and think that we can continue sinning freely even in Christ. It is time to fear God, who has the power to cast into hell. Never follow the twisted grace doctrines out there; that gives the impression that our sins are automatically forgiven, so we should not bother about how we live and what we do. Beware of God's judgement and repent! To be continued.
Prayer Points:
1. Lord, I ask for the grace to live an empowered and victorious life; so I can overcome the temptations that draw me back.
2. Lord, restrain me from sliding into the lifestyle of those who do not fear.
