WALK IN THE SPIRIT

 

There are many today who call themselves Christians and seem to believe that they can say and do anything they feel, knowing the bible identifies their actions as SINFUL.

They say things like,  “ Well All have sinned” “ God Knows My Heart”  (Matthew 7:1)  YES, However, this scripture is often used out of context to justify willful, unrepentant sin.  Those who pretend to “Love God”,those who say “Lord, Lord (Matthew 7:21), Yes those who blatantly, intentionally sin, thereby making a mockery of the Word of God; unless they reach a place of sincere confession and repentance will be eternally lost.  Jesus’s sacrifice does not cover intentional, unrepentant sin (Hebrews 10:26, Galatians 6:7)

Those who genuinely seek and love God, confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and believe in his Atoning Sacrifice and Resurrection.  Though they fall, (sin) and sincerely repent they are forgiven.

Many people will ask, “Why” should I even try if God already known what I will do?  Yes He knows because He is GOD.  Remember God is outside our understanding of space and time, yet in our past, present, and future. God knows our heart, He knows our intentions ( 1 Samuel 6:7).

God gave us His WORD, and His WORD is our “Instructional Manual “ for life.  He knowing also the weakness of our will and ability gave us the Holy Spirit. [Romans 8:26 ]  ²⁶ In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. ²⁷ And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

Galatians 5:16- This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
