This could be your last opportunity!
 
Slowly read, and take the time to understand this quote from C.S. Lewis
 
“God will invade.
But I wonder Whether people who ask Gog to interfere openly and directly in our world quite realize what it will be like when He does.
When that happens, it is the end of the world.
When the author walks onto the stage, the play is over.
God is going to invade, all right.
But what is the good of saying you are on His side then, when you see the whole natural universe melting away like a dream, and something else, something it never entered your head to conceive, comes crashing in?
Something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left.
For this time it will be God without disguise, something so overwhelming that it will strike either irresistible love or irresistible horror into every creature.
It will be too late then to choose your side.
There is no use saying you could choose to lie down when it has become impossible to stand up.
That will not be the time for choosing.
It will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realized it before or not.
Now, today, this moment is our chance to choose the right side.
God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last forever.
We must take it or leave it.”
C.S. Lewis
 
{{{   Today, this very moment, could be your last opportunity to make a lasting chose, to except Christ.
For once Christ returns or you exhale your last breath here on earth, it will be too late to choose.
For you will have already chosen whether you believe it or not, for by not choosing you have already chosen.   }}}

Matthew 13:3-9
And He (Jesus) spoke many things to them in parables, saying,
“Behold, the sower went out to sow;
and as he sowed,
some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.
Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.
And others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.
“He who has ears, let him hear.”
 
 
{{{ some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.
Some hear the word of GOD, the gospel of Jesus and what He has done for them, but without faith they do not hide it away in their heart the evil one comes and snitches it away.
They are the ones who can show up to church every Sunday hear the word of God but never except Christs free gift of love and forgiveness.
They also become like the ones we talked about yesterday the fool’s, do to their own lack of faith in what they have heard they end up saying “there is not God”
 
Others seed fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately the seeds sprang up, because they had no depth of in their faith, their hearts have not completely won the battle but their minds are week.
When they hear the word of GOD, become excited and somewhat stimulated by the word of God but not truly taking it to heart, in the excitement rush out with what they have heard not truly understanding, rush to the world and when the worldly attack them with words or actions they quickly retreat to their old ways.
Allowing the world to take what little fragment of faith they may have had away from them, for they had not taking their faith and deeply anker it in the Lord God.
 
Some in this group, in their attempt to show they have arrived and are now enlightened by the word of GOD try to show themselves as better than they truly are.
Not taking the time to be firmly planted in the word of GOD, to learn the heart of GOD, the heart of Jesus. Not taking the step of repentance; not repenting of their sins, nor their connection to this world.
They do not ask to be forgiven, not for Christ Jesus to be their Lord and savior, so that He will ask the Father to send the Holy Spirit to dwell in them to teach them and guide them through live.
As it were to be watered by the Holy Spirit.
With a heard heart; still having an eye on the hardships of this world being weighed down by worldly desires and pressers of worldly men and their ways, they become discouraged and wonder from the word of GOD.
Some of them even become teachers of the word of GOD, not for GOD’s glory but for their own.
It is heard to humble one’s self and except the love of Christ the Lord (Jesus) with a heart distracted by the things of this world.
Due to actually having a heard heart towards God, God’s word they never have the opportunity to grow.
 
And others seeds fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.
These are the ones who have softened their hearts to GOD,
They hear the word and allow it to fill the holes in their life, to quench their thirst, to satisfy their hunger.
Those who by hearing the word of GOD, fully understand they are sinners, and that Christ Jesus is their redeemer, their provider, and their provision.
With a broken heart for the way they have lived (broken heart due to the understanding that they are sinners) they rush to Christ for forgiveness, for salvation, to be redeemed by Christ and reacquainted with their creator, to be given the Holy Spirit to teach and guild them in the ways of the Lord Jesus.
 
By accepting Jesus as their Lord, learning to adapt their lives to the will of GOD, their roods run deep, their foundation is in Christ Jesus and on the day of judgment they will receive a great reward for those who through their life in Christ, were drawn to the Lord.
Some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.
 
It is your choice if you make in to the kingdom of GOD and it is your choice if you end up in hell. Those who make the choice to humble themselves repent of their sins ask for forgiveness and for Christ the Lord to be their Lord, loving Christ the Lord with all their heart mind and spirit, and then follow His teaching, He will go before Father God and ask Him to send the Holy Spirit to help direct our lives. God has said the “heart of man is evil”. But with the Holy Spirit directing us through life and the blood of Jesus covering us, as we humble ourselves before the Lord when we blow it, He is faithful to forgive us, so the Father sees us as clean, as holy.
 
If you truly understand what Christ the Lord (Jesus) has done for you through His crucifixion, if you soften and open your heart to Him, believing in Him call upon His name, and obeying His word, will not be an option for you, nor the way you live your life, you will live it for Him.
 
Matthew 10:37-39
¶ “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.”
 
Romans 8:5-17 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
¶ However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.
But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. ¶ So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
 
We are under obligation, not to live according to the flesh, but rather we are to put away the things of the flesh, for if you don’t you must die;
but if you are dead to the world’s ways, and are living by the Spirit of GOD putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
 
Rather simple live by the world’s ways, thoughts and actions, motives, the worlds directions. You will die and spend eternity in hell.
If you will surrender to the ways, teaching and directions of the Lord, the Holy Spirit that is given by Father God you will live. For what has been done for us by Father God and His Son Jesus, we are obligated to them if we expect to receive from them.
 
If a man gave his life for you, so that you could continue living would you not feel obligated to Him???
If a man stood in court, in judgment, for you and paid all your debts so that you would not be through in to prison, would you refuse and be put to death, or would you except his act of kindness do that you may live?
And in excepting His gift would you not feel some sort of obligation to him???
 
Christ Jesus has done just that for you, and so much more.
The gift is there for you all you have to do is except it and then fulfill your part of the and fulfil your obligation to Christ.
He has died so that you paid all your debts, the least you can do for Him would be to surrender your life to Him and follow His commandments, obey the words of GOD.
Jesus is so eager for you to succeed that He even ask’s His Father to send to those who except His free gift of forgiveness and salvation a helper, to help us fulfill our obligation, and the Father sends the believer the Holy Spirit to dwell in them.
 
First step: soften your heart so that the word of GOD may be deeply planted
Second step: except the Lords free gift of salvation
Third step: walk away from the word’s ways, teachings, knowledge and worldly wisdom
Fourth step: listen to and obey (follow) the Holy Spirits directions
 
Fulfill your obligation to the one who freely gave Himself for you. Surrender to Him, Love Him, obey Him.
 
Just saying, clamming or calling on the name Jesus as some churches stat, does not save your life.
Calling yourself a Christian does not save your life.
Acting out the instructions in the bible does not save your life.
 
Matthew 7:21
¶ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them,
‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
 
Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And He said to him,
“ ‘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 foremost commandment. The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
 
Do you obey the Lord?
Do you follow His commandments?
Do you love Him with all your heart?
Do you love Him with all your soul?
Do you love the Lord with all your mind?
Do you love your neighbor as you love yourself?
 
Or are you still holding on to pleasing and satisfying your own lust, our own desires, your one pleasure?
Still in love with the world?
the things of this world?
The ways of this world?
Ego, pride, greed, self-gratification still got a grip on you?
Still can’t surrender the thought, and actions of self?
If so, then quite playing Church, you are only fooling yourself.
GOD knows what is in the heart of a man.
And when the day of judgment comes,
it will be harder on you than if you hade never heard the truth,
for in you, in that moment of time, you will know that it was your choice to enter into hell,
rather than to enter into the Kingdome of GOD.
 
Take a honest look at your life, where does the greatest influence in your life come from.
Who are you listening to for direction, for wisdom, for knowledge?
who are you living for?
 
Matthew 6:22-24
"The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkmess.
If then the light thatis in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
No man can serve two masters; for ether he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and the world.
 
who are you serving?????
think about it.

Will you play the fool?
 
Hebrews 10:19-25
¶ Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
 
Christ or Judgment; it is your choice
Hebrews 10:26-31
¶ For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.
Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
For we know Him who said,
“VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.”
It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
 
 
{{{ through the entirety of the Bible we learn that every man and women is a believer; everyone is a believer, the question is whom or what do you believe in, where is your faith settled?
 
The foolisness and Wickedness of Men.
Psalms 14:1-3
¶ For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
 
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good.
The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God.
They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
 
[[ The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
The fools commit sin in their hearts, they are corrupt, they have committed, and continue to commit abominable deeds;
The fool’s heart, does no good.
The fool has no understanding of the word of GOD nor GOD Himself,
The foolish deceive themselves with worldly wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
The foolish do not seek after God.
The fools turn form GOD, they gather together and have become corrupt feeding the corruption in their hearts;
There is not one fool who does good, not even one.
In their hearts they think they control their own destiny, and when exposed to the GOD of all creation they may go to church and play the Christian but in their hearts, which can be seen through their actions they say there is no God.
Some even go as far as to make the most foolish statement “I am god”
Not understanding;
“It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” ]]
 
 
Psalms 14:4-6
¶ Do all the workers of wickedness not know,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the LORD?
There they are in great dread, For God is with the righteous generation.
You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the LORD is his refuge.
 
 
[[ The fools who continue as workers of wickedness do not know nor do they understand, that the Lord is the refuge of the righteous?
The fools who continue in their wickedness to deceive, to draw away from the Lord those who belong to the Lord with no more concern then if they were eating a piece of bread, have no awareness of the wrath they are bringing upon themselves.
The fool even when presented with the consequences of their actions, never take in to consideration the punishment for their actions. “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.”
 
GOD will judge the fool and He will judge those who are His who follow the fool.
For in the heart of the fool, and those who follow after the fool. tell themselves “There is no God”
In the ones who belong to God it is shown by the way they live, the desires of their hearts, the things they strive after and cling to in this world show their foolishness.
Not understanding It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
The believer who listens to the fool and forget or lose sight of the fact that as a follower of Christ Jesus that He is their refuge, their protection, their straight; and end up following after the fool, instead of calling upon the LORD, they up turning away from the Lord to walk in their own understanding and they become the fool.
Do all the workers of wickedness not know There they are in great dread, that when the time comes to stand before the Lord God, that at that time they will experience great fear and anxiety.
For God is with the righteous.
And He is the one they have done wickedness against, that the Lord is the one they will answer to for their wickedness, and their dread will be great. for all the workers of wickedness do not know, or understand they are trying to put to shame the Holy Spirit who is the counselor of the ones they are afflicting, that the Lord God will take revenge for what they have done. ]]
 
 
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
For his mind knows that there is a GOD The fool’s heart can be and is deceived, by his own words.
For the heart and mind are at odds due to his emotions.
A mans mind knows there is a GOD, but his emotions; his heart, will argue with his mind, and the fool will alow his emotions to take over and declare there is no GOD
 
1Chronicles 28:9
“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts.
If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.
The fool will speak to his heart and tell himself there is no GOD, and rather than to serve the Lord God with a whole heart he will convince his mind there is no God, and at that point there is no forgiveness for him.
But if only his mind would have won the battle and he was to have search for GOD, GOD would have let you find Him;
but once his heart takes over and he forsakes Him, He (GOD) will reject the fool forever.
the beliver who find ones self in this position would turn back to the Lord and ask for forgivness the Lord will forgive,but once the heart has heardened , how knows??
 
In your heart do you doughty,
do you question the validity of GOD?
do you question the quality or state of being you live in?
do you question the strength the force, the power of GOD?
do you question the authority of GOD?
do you question the state of being?
do you question the quality of God or His word of being valid?
do you question the effectiveness of GOD or His word?
 
These are heard and to the point questions, questions that take a true and honest search of the heart to answer.
You may not like the above questions, but each and every one of us need to search our own hearts, to see if we are truly seeking GOD or just religion, do we play church for worldly gain, or do we attend to seek Gods Kingdome and His righteousness?
 
The fool plays church and in doing so allows his heart and mind to follow after wickedness, in thought and action when he thinks no one is watching.
But the GOD whom he really does not serve, sees and judges both the heart and the mind. }}}
 
 
When the presser of this world presses in on you,
lean in to GOD, grab hold and do not let go..

1Peter 4:3-19
In all this, (1Peter 4:1-2) they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you;
but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.
 
 
{{{ when you except Christ and your Lord repent and turn from your sins, those of the world will stand up against you, treat you badly and accuse you,
But they will give account of their ways before the Lord and be judged for their actions.
The gospel has been shared with the just and the unjust, the unjust choice to deny the Lord and to turn away from His love, and are considered to be dead. Upon the judgment of GOD in the end then their spirit will live throughout eternity in the pit of hell that has been prepared by GOD for them. }}}
 
 
4:7 The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.
 
{{ Because the end of all things we now know is upon us it is important our prayers are heard by the Father (God) to accomplish this as followers of Christ Jesus, we must live in sound judgment and with a sober spirit, the only way this can be accomplished is to be in the word of God, and allowing the Holy Spirit to teach us and direct our path. Sound judgment does not come from the world nor its ways, there is noting from this world that produced a sober spirit.
The term sober literally means
“free from intoxicating influences.”
To be sober means to not allow ourselves to be influenced by anything that leads us away from God’s truth and sound judgment.
Sobriety is a state of being.
To be vigilant means “to keep careful watch for possible danger or difficulties.”
Vigilance requires action.
A vigilant person actively pays attention to what is asking for his attention and what affects his heart and mind.
We must keep a clear be sober of mind as we vigilantly keep watch over our lives and the world around us. }}
 
4:8
Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
Be hospitable to one another without complaint.
As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
 
 
{{{ Love is spoken of by Christ in so much of the Bible,
Christ Jesus love is so important to Father God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we are told the first and foremost commandment is concerning love and the second is like it.
We are to love the Lord our GOD with all our heart, mind and spirit, and we are to love each other as we love ourselves.
 
As a believer in and follower of Christ Jesus our character is to be that of intense emotion concerning love,
love toward GOD and our fellow believers and mankind in general.
We are to put the needs of our fellow believers over the desires of our own.
We are of no more value than those who walk beside us on our journey to the small gate.
Love is an action not a feeling.
If our heart is set to fulfill what we have been directed to accomplish, our love will grow and only then we will be able to fully achieve a live lived in true love.
True love is action 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 answers the question, “What is love”
Answer:
Love is patient, kind, not jealous it does not brag, is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly, it does not seek its own way, is not easily provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, true love played out does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; true love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
 
These are the actions attitude and behavior, the desire of those seeking to obey GODs word and live out true love, Love puts up with a lot, without complaining.
Aways willing to the best for others rather than self. Just as Jesus was willing to be sacrificed for our sin so that we may life with Him in Heaven throughout eternity. Jesus is love and we are to be like Jesus, so we are to be love to the world as Jesus is and shows love toward us. }}}
 
1Co 13:8 ¶ Love never fails;
 
{{{ in the eyes of man true love is a sing of weakness, but in the eyes of Father God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit; Love is straight. True love never fails! }}}
 
 
13:8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
but when the perfect comes (that is when the Lord returns), the partial will be done away.
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
For now, we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
 
1Pe 4:12
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange things were happening to you;
but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.
If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed,
but is to glorify God in this name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?
Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.
 
 
{{{ as Believers in and Followers of Christ, we also will share in the Sufferings of Christ, When you do right the world will hate you just as it hates the Lord.
And we are to count it all joy, for doing what is right will be a blessing in the end, doing following the commandments of Father God and our Lord Jesus, our reward will come after He has returned for His true and faithful ones.
Christ Jesus has told us He will never leave nor forsake us. And by obeying the commandments set before us we will have love for our fellow man, a love that supersedes all other, fillings, actions or beliefs of any and all mankind. }}}
 
take the time to learn love,
take the next 20 day and prates being patient with those you come in contact with each day.

1Peter 4:1-3
Therefore, since Christ has suffered death in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.
 
 
{{{ Christ Jesus is our example of how we are to live, and how we are to respond to death as to our living out our lives as here on earth, being believers in and followers of Christ Jesus. Christ was dead to sin, there was no sin found in Him, and as that is our desire, our goal, our determinations should be to stay away from sin.
That sin should not have any part of our lives.
For if one has excepted Christ Jesus as Lord we should no longer put up with sin in our lives, for Christ Jesus died for our redemption for the forgiveness of our sins, He has shown such great love for us that He gave His own life for ours.
 
John 15:12-14
¶ “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you.”
 
If we have excepted Christ Jesus as our Lord, and do as He has commanded us we are considered His friend. As His friend we are commanded to love one another as He has loved us.
 
John 15:17
“This I command you, that you love one another.”
 
This is the will of GOD.
 
1Peter 2:21-24
“For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,
WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;
and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds, you were healed.”
 
The greatest commandment is to love,
1. To love the Lord your GOD
2. To love our newborn, fellow believers. }}}
 
 
so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
 
{{ as believers in and followers of Christ Jesus our greatest desire should be to please Him, to please the Lord your God we should turn from our lusts, and set our desires to live to please our Lord God , our savior our redeemer.
What is it have to give for the one who died for us?
Our love, devotion, our dedication to please should be toward Him and not ourselves, for He has purchased us from death, hell and the grave, we are His, all we have to do is except and be willing to follow (to keep, to obey) His commandments. }}
 
 
{{ 1Peter 4:3 this verse holds so much peace and freedom for those who read it and take it to heart, and apply their lives to it. 
 
1Peter 4:3 For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.
Your past is behind you, and need to realize you have sinned enough for your life time on earth when Christ was a sacrificed on the cross His mortal body was killed one and for all for all sin in the world, for all your sins from birth to death.
Once you except Him and His forgiveness, your sins have been forgiving.
But that does not give you the freedom to continue to sin.
There is a movie called ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress’  in the film there is a point that Christian who is on the narrow path leading to the heaven, or as they call it the celestial city,
And along that path the evil has set up a town called vanity fair; the town is a fairground with every worldly temptation the world has to offer. every desire found in the human heart, sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, parties, personal position, personal possessions and abominable idolatries, greed to hold on to things of this world rather than to surrendering all to Christ Jesus and depending on His provisions for all our needs.

In 1Peter 4:3 the Spirit of GOD through Peter gives us a small glimpse of the forgiveness of our Lord and King, of GOD.
And if we were to be honest with our self, we would have to admit that yes, we have sinned plenty before we came to Christ, so why should we continue in sin after we have come to Him.
Do we think that is ok, surly not if we are dedicated to Him for what He has done for us.
To continue in sin is to make a mockery of what He has done.  
 
1Peter 4:3
For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.
 
( an idol is anything we place between our self and Chrisy ANYTHING,, A family member, a house, a job, a friend, a form of transportation, a attitude, a thought, (read Mathew 5-7)
ANY personal desire other than to please Him will bring you to idolatry.
 
Christ gave everything for you, He love for you is so great that He paid the ultimate price,
what are you willing to do for Him in return?????
 
You are only required to come and except His love His forgiveness,
but He does say
“if you love Me you will keep My commandments” }}}
 
Do you truly love Him?
Or do you love self and this world more?
 
thank about it!'
where is your loyalty anchored?
