Why do you call me Lord Lord and not do what I say Christ made this proclamation right after giving The Sermon on the Mount giving guidelines for the Christian Life. Christ goes on later to say to "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
We live in a selfish world people justify their sin people refuse to recognize Christ as Lord but considering Him as Savior only. True repentance is truly ever shown. It breaks my heart to see people who profess themselves as Christians but live and outward sinful life some in secret some in the open. For it is written they honor me with their mouth but their hearts are far from me for it is also written if you love me you will keep my Commandments. Many are in for shock when they stand before God and hear the words depart from me you workers of iniquity I never knew you! People refuse to admit that they are sinner's in need of a Savior! They believe they are good people because they don't commit no crime against man that they believe they live a good life. They give to charities then even helping those in need they may be pleasant and kind to everybody they meet. However these things will not get them to heaven. People refuse to acknowledge that God is not only holy and righteous but that He is also just! That for Him being just His wrath will be poured out on those who refuse to acknowledge Him not only as Savior but also Lord! Some believe that because we have freedom in Christ our sins don't matter. Wake up! We are to be holy because He is holy! We don't have right to go on sinning taking the grace given to us so lightly! This grace came with a heavy price that no man could earn or pay, only Christ could bring this grace through His sacrificial blood that he poured out nailed to a tree for the world to see. Don't you know that it is written that we are not our own that we are bought with a price that we're not to go on sinning! The resentment that we hold towards our neighbor for harming us or offending us, is not justified! We look to our own needs turning a blind eye to those around us that are in need! The things God has blessed you with are not yours, they are given to you entrusted to you to bless those around you. We are to walk as Christ walked who gave all He had so that we could have Him for eternity! My desire is to turn the world to Christ not only telling but showing Him to all that I meet. Your sinful ways need to stop! God will forgive if you turn to Him. True repentance is a broken and contrite heart. Your sin will break your heart it will shatter it it will crush it you will not be able to stand it you will have great remorse for you have sinned against a holy righteous God who died upon the cross for you, taking the burden of your sins so that you would not have to bear them. Knowing this how can you take your grace for granted and go on willfully sinning knowing of the price that was paid. As I come to a close on this examine your heart ask God to open it up and reveal to you your sinful ways your anxious thoughts the things that you do that dishonor Him. Be not only honest with God but with yourself, asking Him to take this Heart of Stone and make it a heart of Flesh! An then walk-in true repentance!
