HUGGING THE BIBLE CLOSE TO ONE’S HEART DOES NOT MAKE SUCH INDIVIDUAL A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST. [MATTHEW, 15:-8-9]

CHOSEN & DIVINELY FAVORED:
BY MERELY MAKING ONESELF AVAILABLE TO EVERY EVENT IN CHURCH, VOLUNTEERING ONESELF IN EVERY ASPECT OF CHURCH ACTIVITIES, AND HUGGING THE BIBLE CLOSE TO ONE’S HEART DOES NOT MAKE SUCH INDIVIDUAL A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST. [MATTHEW, 15:-8-9]
WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS LIVING ONE’S LIFE IN COMFORMITY WITH THE TEACHINGS AND THE LIFESTYLE OF JESUS CHRIST.
ONE CANNOT BE A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST WITHOUT HAVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
ONE MAY OPENLY CONFESS THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD IN ALL THE HEAVENS AND HERE ON EARTH; BUT DOES HE REALLY BELIEVE IN THAT GOD?
JAMES, 2:-19; “YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE GOD: YOU DO WELL, THE DEMON ALSO BELIEVE AND TREMBLE.”
THE CHANGES THAT WILL BRING US CLOSER TO GOD COMES FROM THE HEART AND NOT FROM WHAT IS ON DISPLAY TO FOOL EITHER ONESELF OR TO FOOL OTHERS.
[ROMANS, 10:-9-10]
WE MUST NOT ALLOW ANYTHING TO HINDER OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND WE MUST BE FULLY PREPARED FOR THE SECOND COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
IN CONCLUSION: THE WEALTH OF THE WEALTHY WILL BE OF NO USE TO HIM WHEN HIS SOUL SHALL BE CALLED.
Ecclesiastes, 9:-10; “WHATEVER YOUR HAND FINDS TO DO, DO IT WITH YOUR MIGHT, FOR THERE IS NO WORK OR DEVICE OR KNOWLEDGE OR WISDOM IN THE GRAVE WHERE YOU ARE GOING.”
WE ARE MEMBERS OF: “THE WAY OF THE CROSS”.
A NON-DENOMINATIONAL FELLOWSHIP OF CHRIST FOLLOWERS.
WE ARE OBLIGATED TO PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO ALL SOULS, EMPHASIZE THE GRACE OF ETERNAL SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, WHILE INFORMING THE WORLD OF THE MERCY OF GOD FOR SINNERS NOW THAT THERE’S STILL TIME TO REPENT, AND WARN THE STONE-HEARTED OF THE IMPENDING CONSEQUENCES IF THEY DIE UNREPENTANT.
