DON’T  ACT LIKE A CHRISTIAN ,BE ONE.

Just going to church  doesn’t  make you a Christian . As a matter  of  fact  your lifestyle  tells  not only  God,but the world , who you belong to.

LISTEN

​You can’t  walk with God ,and hold hands with the devil. No one can serve two masters. Why? Because ,sooner or later you will love one and despised  the other. Jesus  said ,if you love Him keep His commandments , be like Him,follow  Him.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he  is  a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to  be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”, (2 Corinthians 5:17‭-‬21)

LISTEN:

“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,”(Romans 8:9‭-‬16).

REMEMBER :
“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are  like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish”{Psalms 1:1‭-‬6}.

FINALLY:

“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We  are  hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we  are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you. And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you”[2 Corinthians 4:1‭-‬14].

“Now therefore, fear the Lord , serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord ! And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord , choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord .”[Joshua  24:14‭-‬15]

YOU ARE BOUGHT

To God you are priceless, but to the devil you are worthless. Everyone can be bought,and is bought for the right price or reason, and your worth is dependent on your value,to whomever.How much you are worth and who owns you is totally dependent on you. You can be bought cheap or expensive,valuable or worthless. However, if you are bought cheap then you have no value, but if you are worth something then you have exquisite value.

How do you know your value? Simple, if you can be bought with money, a house, a car, good looks or anything in this world ,then you are not valuable and the devil owns you,because in his eyes you are cheap and a worthless piece of trash. However,in God’s eye’s we are all valuable,that’s why He sent His only begotten Son,to die for us,as we see in John 3:16-17,For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,that whosoever believers in Him should not perish,but have everlasting life. For Got sent not His Son to condemn the world,but that the world through Him might be saved. So who owns you ? The choice is yours. “Ye are bought with a price;be not ye servants of men”{ 1 Corinthians 7:23}. Therefore, if you are purchased by the Blood of Jesus (Acts 20:28) then you are priceless to God (Matthew 6:26), you are valuable (Luke 12:7).

What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom ye have of God and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). However, if any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are (1Corinthians 3:17).

Who bought you? Who do you belong to? As Hebrews 4:16 suggests, “Let us,therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace,that we may obtain mercy,and find Grace to help in time of need”. YOU need to belong to your rightful owner,the creator of the universe and everything in it. 2 Timothy 2:19 says, “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal: THE LORD KNOWS those who are His, let everyone that nemeth the name of Christ depart from evil (sin/iniquity). So today if you consider yourself as valuable, then accept God’s offer of salvation through His Son,who paid the price,for you,by simply going to the top of this blog,then click onto the salvation page,and follow the instructions, then allow the Indwelling Holy Spirit that comes inside of you,to lead,guide,and direct your path for the rest of your life.

All glory, praise, honor and thanks go to God. Father God may you give everyone who reads this the understanding of Your word that it may be received into their hearts. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
