Subject: Are we judged when we come to Jesus now? |
Bible Note: LJ777, Right off the get go let me say this, You will sin, I will sin, all of us will sin. Being a disciple of Jesus Christ does not mean that we're not gonna sin. It's what will be one's attitude of heart be in dealing with our sin. 2 Corinthians 7:8-11, give this passage of scripture your undivided attention. Are we sorry or are we SORRY. There's a huge difference. Take a good look at 1 Timothy 4:15,16 2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16,17. It's not always a matter of what does a disciple(Christian) look like. We don't look around out there and say there's a disciple or here's a disciple. It's just not as simple as that. But! It's not impossible though. These passages in 1 and 2 Timothy are bench marks in every disciples life. These are the hows. At the end of the day it's you and God that know for sure if you are a disciple or not. You are who you are regardless of what others may dictate. Get into your bible and study out discipleship. Hebrews 4:12,13 God's Word is sharp, it will cut, allow it to cut. It can be painful but God will and does bring healing and forgiveness. If you have doubts as to whether your a disciple or not Then again get into the Word,get with believers who are strong in the faith and have them study these things out with you. You don't have to do this alone. There is help. Colossians 1:27 It's Christ in you! Powerful stuff. What you live will be evident. Give this due consideration, I am more than blessed to walk through it with you. PS. Go to my user profile. Drop me a line. I wont be hard to find. In Him, lionheart |
