Faith Check…how do you measure up?

Faith Check…

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and His word is not in us...1 John 1:8-10. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord...Romans 6:23. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in His body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences...2 Corinthians 5:10-11.


When is the last time you ran through the Ten Commandments to see if you meet a standard?

Have you received from another table other than God…You shall have no other God. Have you used God’s name in only prayer and teaching…you shall not take God’s name in vain. Have you worshipped the created…you shall not make any graven images. Have you kept yourself Holy so you can approach God without offering a sin sacrifice…you shall keep the Sabbath Day Holy. Have you respected and cared for your dad and mom…honor your dad and mom. Have you murdered…you shall not kill. Have you committed had sex or porn with another’s spouse…you shall not commit adultery. Have you stole…you shall not steal. Have you told a lie or half-truth…you shall not bear false witness. Have you wanted what God has not given you…you shall not covet. How do you measure up? If you have broken even one of these commandments then you deserve death for your behavior or separation from God…He does not tolerate or fellowship sin.


If you do not measure up then I have some good news for you called the Gospel of Jesus Christ…

Jesus never violated the Ten Commandments and met the minimum requirements of not breaking the Ten Commandments. Which for a Jew from the tribe of Judah is all He had to do to remain sinless. Jesus because He never broke one of the Ten Commandments was sinless and righteous before God. He sacrificed His sinless life for an eternal offering of sin so you and I who have broke the Ten Commandments in order for us to be forgiven. Jesus died on a cross and was raise from the dead so you and I could change and follow the truth and be forgiven. Do you believe Jesus died and was raised from the dead…yes or no?


Jesus said He that believes and is baptized will be saved but he that refuses to believe that Jesus is the only way to be forgiven in the eyes of God will be damned. Have you been baptized…yes or no? Know ye 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 6:3-5. Will you be baptized into Christ’s death burial and resurrection…yes or no?


Prayer

Father please remember we are but sinners in need of a repentance and faith in Your Son Jesus and meet our soul’s deepest needs…please forgive us of our sinful pasts and help us start repenting before You…we renounce satan and sin…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
