Luke 6: 46 - Jesus says, “Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I say?” He said we should put His words into practice.
Do
you remember the day you invited Jesus into your life to take over? Or
have you ever? Maybe you were very young, or in your thirties like me. I’m now 52, and I am still learning, hungry for more growth, and so in
love. That’s what a relationship is. Spending time with someone. How
could you say you love your spouse, but not want to spend time with
them? It’s like being married and
living in separate rooms, and seeing each other once a week. Sounds
crazy doesn’t it? That’s what some people do with Jesus.
Malachi 4:1-2 talks about those who are arrogant, and those who revere Gods
name. He sees how we are living, choices we make, how we talk to people.
You can’t fool Jesus. As you go through life with Him, you will learn
more and more things that you should give up to His Lordship. If you are
seeking, and have a relationship with Him, you should know the words He
speaks and put them into practice. Not wait till later, or make excuses
for living how you choose.
We can’t label
ourselves a Christian, or say we follow Jesus, and not give Him full
authority over our choices. Let His Lordship GROW with your life.
He didn’t pay for our sins with His life to think we have a pass to keep sinning, or a pass into eternity with
Him... 1 Peter 2 :24 - He paid to have authority in your daily choices.
Revelations 3: 15-16 - God does not want luke warm. We are on fire for Him, or not.
Some of us have to relight that fire again. Some of us really need to
understand what Jesus means when he says he wants to have a relationship
with us, not religion, or someone who says, “Oh, Jesus knows my heart,”
and living like everyone else.
He is not a piece of jewelry we wear around our neck. Like the song says, we should, “Wear Him on our sleeve,” On fire!
Grace and peace to you
