Are you of the world????? OR of GOD?????
Good morning everyone!!! The daylight is trying to break through here in East Texas and it will be a great day in the Lord!!! Be positive....KNOW that GOD is HELPING YOU!!!
Galatians 6:14 "As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified and the world's interest in me has also died."
Just what is Paul saying here? The world has lots of enticements.... just look around---the models with perfect looks-male and female; pretty or cool cars; nice homes; fancy clothes; expensive jewelery; social drinking with friends and having LOTS of FUN; dining out for fun or romance; and the list goes on.
Every day we are faced with subtle pressures from our culture. And, yes, we are caught up in them. How do we get away from all this??? The only way to escape all these destructive influences is to ask God to help crucify our interest in them, just like Paul did.
How much are you tied to the world?? Gal 5:24 "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there." Have you do this?? No better time than now!!!!
Thank you for reading. Have a blessed and wonderful day. Love you all!
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
