YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE
As followers of Jesus Christ, we should strive to have a lifestyle of
"righteousness and holy living" DAILY, as the Bible commands us to have... But there are times in our lives, that we fall short and get off the
"track of the righteous and holy living" and we sin against God and people. The good news is that, as long as we are here on earth...
"We Still Have A Chance" to
get up from where we have fallen short and make it right with those we have hurt/offended and start anew with God and them.
The Bible Says:
"My little children, these things I write to you, "SO THAT YOU MAY NOT SIN". AND IF
ANYONE SINS", we have an "ADVOCATE" with the Father, "JESUS CHRIST" the righteous. And He Himself is the "PROPITIATION (Atoning Sacrifice)" for our sins, and not for ours only but also
for the whole world." (
1 John 2:1)-
NKJV
Note: There are always consequences for the bad choices we make in life and for the sins that we commit against GOD, this is why Jesus gives us this warning....
"STOP SINNING" or something "WORSE" may happen to you."~(
John 5:14)
The Apostle Paul says: "For the wages of sin [is] death..."(
Romans 6:23)~"
NOTHING" good comes from sinning! It is in our best interest to avoid sin at
"ALL" cost... "
FLEE" And "
RUN" if you must from it, as Joseph did in
Genesis 39:10-12. Joseph chose to flee and run from sin rather than to sin against God or his master (
Potiphar). GOD told Cain
..."SIN" is
"CROUCHING" at your door; it
"DESIRES" to have
YOU,
"BUT YOU MUST MASTER IT."~(Genesis 4:7)-NIV
Jesus says:
"If your right eye "CAUSES YOU TO SIN", gouge it out and throw it away. It is
better for you to lose one part of your body "THAN" for your whole body to be
"THROWN INTO HELL". AND if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is
better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go "INTO
HELL."~(Matthew 5:29-30)
Note: How do we master sin? You may ask... By
"WALKING" With The Lord
DAILY, by studying and applying God 's word into our lives... This is how we will master sin! Friends,
"SEEK" God daily and
"PRAY" in the
"Spirit" always, the
"Holy Spirit" is
"OUR HELPER".
The Bible Says:
"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 with "GROANS" that
"WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS". And He (GOD) who "SEARCHES" our hearts "KNOWS" the "MIND" of the "SPIRIT", because the Spirit
"INTERCEDES" for the saints "IN ACCORDANCE" with God's "WILL." (Romans 8:26-27, Ephesians 6:18, Jude 1:20, John 14:26)
The LORD Says: "
RETURN", you backsliding children, [And] "I WILL HEAL" your "BACKSLIDINGS." "Indeed we do come to You, For "YOU" are the LORD our GOD."~(
Jeremiah 3:22)-
NKJV
Note: IF You've Being Backsliding A Little Or A Lot... Come To The GOD Who Says,
"I Will "HEAL" Your "Backslidings." The Bible Says:
"IF" we "CONFESS OUR SINS", HE (GOD) is "FAITHFUL" and "JUST" and "WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM "ALL" UNRIGHTEOUSNESS."~(
1 John 1:9)..."
As the "HOLY SPIRIT" says: "Today, "IF" you hear HIS voice, "DO NOT" harden your hearts..."~(
Hebrews 3:7)
"YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE"... TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD TO RIGHTEOUS AND HOLY LIVING, THE CHOICE IS YOURS....
GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS
YOUR FRIEND,
