Why do people reject the good news of Life found in Jesus Christ? Even when the gospel has been preached for 2,000 years in churches everywhere, the world still rejects it in favor of their idea of living. It seems that most people don’t want to know the good news. Many don’t care if there is a life after this one and they don’t care if there are circumstances for any of the sins in their lives no matter how insignificant they may be.
God’s Word tells us exactly how He views sin, even “little sins”. To God, all sin is disobedience and wrong. There are no little ones or big ones. What can we do to live with Him in His home? First, we must admit that we are sinners and we won’t even do that unless the Holy Spirit convicts us of those sins. When He does that, He gives us the faith to believe in Jesus and come to Him. Our response should be to obey the prompting of the Holy Spirit and accept our salvation as His gift to us for obeying Him. Most of the time we will respond that way but some people listen to their own “conscience” and choose not to admit anything. When that happens, they are listening to a suggestion from Satan.
Satan and his fallen angels, demons, are real and they don’t want you to accept Jesus as your Savior. Their mission has always been to corrupt God’s plans in any way they can. But…they can’t stop God’s plans. If He intends for you to be saved and give your life to Jesus, you will. It may be at the last moment, but it will happen. Please don’t turn away from the voice of the Holy Spirit because He is calling you to be a child of God. Some people will turn away and when that happens, they can’t be brought back to the point of knowing their need for Jesus. It is a sad thing for this to happen but it happens, even in the church.
Exodus 33:14 KJV [14] And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. https://bible.com/bible/1/exo.33.14.KJV
We have so many trials and problems until we feel He isn’t there. God never leaves us or forsakes us because of something we say or do. There are some days that we may feel like He has but it is a trick that Satan is playing on us when this happens. I pray that you will seek to know Him as your Lord and Savior soon because the time is growing short.
Matthew 22:37-40 KJV [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.22.37-40.KJV
Have you ever considered that God loved us before the beginning of the Creation? He lives outside of time and could see us long before we came into the world. Jesus came to bring salvation to each person that God calls to be His if we will accept it. It is a gift from God and it is nothing that we can do to attain this nor can we work toward our salvation. Jesus Christ already accomplished everything that is necessary for us to be saved. Don’t wait because you don’t know if you will be here tomorrow.
This is something that most of our world needs to learn. How can we be content with what we have, not what those around us have? This seems to be what most of the world just can’t understand. Nations want things that other countries have, whether land or resources and covetousness is behind all of it.
Sin is defined in the Bible and most of us know when we commit a sin, regardless of our religion. How can our world recover from being sinful? By reading God’s Word and obeying it, that’s how.
Some people in the church wonder where they can get the joy spoken of in the Bible. If you are a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, you should have this joy already. The joy spoken of refers to your Savior and your salvation; if you are born-again, you were chosen to receive it. God chooses those who are called to be in His family through Jesus.
I know, I’m getting into “predestination”, but Jesus says that His sacrifice was ordained before the foundation of the world. God knew that mankind would need a Savior and that Jesus would be that Savior. No part of your day surprises God. History is part of His daily thoughts, from beginning to end. He knows what will happen and when, so there are no surprises for Him. Make sure of your eternal future by seeking Him today because the Church will be leaving someday soon and you don’t want to be left here when that happens, although many will be. I pray that all who read this will seek to know Jesus as their Savior.
