It's simple...
- Focus on him.
- Read his Word.
- Respond immediately to his direction.
God is not a game. Faith is not a game. John the Baptist said in Luke 3:9 "every fruit that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire."
That means if you don't live a good life, live your life for Jesus, then you will go to Hell.
We must put all our faith in Jesus Christ and live it out every single day!
Turning from sin must be followed by action, or it's not real. You must act on what Jesus says, not just try to say the right words.
Do you find yourself asking "What can I do?"
Well here is what John the Baptist said in his teaching.
Luke 3:11-14
John replied, "If you have two coats, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry."
Even corrupt tax collectors came to be baptized and asked, "Teacher, what should we do?"
"Show your honesty," he replied. "Make sure you collect no more taxes than the Roman government requires you to."
"What should we do?" asked some soldiers.
John replied, "Don't extort money, and don't accuse people of things you know they didn't do. And be content with your pay."
So think for a second. Are you being honest? Content? Giving?
Today I want you to write down these questions and answer them honestly.
No one will see them but you and God.
How many ways can you change in your life to start living right?
What motivates your faith?
Are your words matching your actions in faith? Why or why not?
