“A Right Life”
Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you.
Such sins have no place among God’s people. You can be sure that
no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of
Christ and of God. Don’t be
fooled by those who try to excuse these sins,
for the terrible anger of God comes upon all those who disobey
Him. (NLT)
Our Father in Heaven has
made it quite clear that we are to live right.
We are expected to obey His Laws—holy and just laws that are of great
value in this life and eternal value in the next. Being the natural born sinners that we are,
obeying God is not any easy task for anyone, especially for those of us who
have lived many lawless years without knowing it. I lived many years obeying mans laws and
ignoring God's, because I saw God has an angry God who purposely made this life
difficult so He could send us into eternal Hell and not have to deal with us
again. I saw a God who consciously made
it impossible for us to live right. And
with this misguided view, I went out into the world trying to live a good life,
but knowing I would never be good enough, which left me feeling depressed,
empty, and filled with a hopelessness that was, indeed, very dark. But by the mercy and grace of God, the Lord
opened my eyes to the Truth and I began to see this difficult life as it truly
is. And with my new found revelation I
saw the world, this difficult life, and my own personal life, in the Light of
God's Truth and my existence took on a whole new meaning with an everlasting
purpose.
This fallen world and its
people are under the curse of sin because of the deceitful, wicked ways of the
devil, and neither Satan nor this fallen world wants us to know the goodness of
God and His plan for man. The devil has
a plan, but God has a better one. The devil’s
plan is death and destruction. God’s plan is eternal life. And the moment you know God's Plan, you will
change course and move away from the things that make you an enemy of
God—things that are wicked and immoral.
Befriending a world that hates God and could care less about you is not
only foolish, but this world will eventually turn against you, leaving you
empty handed and alone. But know this,
my friend, as long as you have the breath of life in your lungs and your wits
about you, you have the opportunity to choose God’s Plan and escape the plan of
Satan that is sucking this world into darkness.
And with the power of God in your hands, you will be able to overcome
this sin cursed world, and share in the goodness and glory of God's Plan, which
is the greatest Plan ever this side of Heaven!
A
Whisper of Hope
When you live
in Me, dear child…I will live in you, and no matter what this
fallen world does, I will give you the power to fight it and the peace to
accept it. Do not believe the lies of
the Enemy and his world, for they only seek to destroy you. I, on the other hand, will bring you
everlasting life.

John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given us
understanding so that we can know the true God.
And now we
are in God because we are in His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the
only
true God, and He is eternal life.
(NLT)
And anyone whose
name was not found recorded in the
Book
of Life was thrown into the Lake of Fire.
(Revelation 20:15)
