You ever ask yourself if you die today would you be in heaven…
If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God...Colossians 3:1-3. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection...Romans 6:1-5. Now the works of the flesh are manifest (made known), which are these; Adultery (sex with someone not your spouse), fornication (sex between unmarried people), uncleanness, lasciviousness (bad lusts), Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance (set against) emulations, wrath, strife (debating…as there is no truth but what we agree on), seditions (to set apart a division), heresies (false teaching), Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings (let’s get drunk not socialize parties…a carousel), and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts...Galatians 5:19-24.
Has there been a change in the life you once lived…are you now telling the truth and practicing the truth of Jesus Christ…yes or no? When you read the fruits of the Spirit are these developing in your life or are the works of the flesh…we are to walk in the Truth and the Spirit if you are practicing the truth as you live your life the fruits of the Spirit develop. Are you seeking Heaven first…by living by the teachings of Jesus? ...But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Prayer
Father please help us be fit for the kingdom of heaven and be fully converted so we can live in eternity with You and meet our soul’s deepest needs so we can prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
