We have to be very careful in believing just because our parents/grandparents took us to church since we were kids and knew to go Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, revival, Vacation Bible School, Choir Anniversaries, served in music, ushering, children’s church, (you get the point?) that those things (works) replace the command in getting to KNOW Jesus for ourselves and following his command. Jesus also tells us in Revelation 3:15 I know your works and you are neither cold nor hot, and I wished you were cold or hot.
We have been blinded by the new age belief that God doesn’t correct us, he allows us to do what we want (willfully and knowingly sin against God) with no conviction, and as long as we do the things above, we are saved from the wages of sin. There is TRANSFORMATION when we RECEIVE Holy Spirit! There is no way we can continue walking the same wrong way with the leading of Holy Spirit. Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace
Do you know Jesus as well as you know “Church”?! We don’t want to live our timely life on earth believing that doing church things is equivalent to knowing Christ and living for Christ. We love to quote Matthew 7:21-23 “I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.” but we never quote the entire passage!! Many on that day of judgment will run down their checklist on what they DID!!!!!!! I’ll let that marinate
Have a blessed day and let Holy Spirit lead you on today 💛
