1 John 2:3-6

“We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.”

  • What has God commanded you not to do that you continue to live in? Are you ever going through His word and find a commandment you are not obeying? If you respond by striving to change, your lord is probably Christ! If you respond by saying: “I’m not doing that.” or “I’m just the way I am.” or “I just don’t agree with what God’s word says.”, Christ is definitely not the lord your life! I hope we are either convicted of our sin or assured of our salvation every time we read God’s word! The hard word of God is also the sovereign word of God!! I pray we never avoid the passages from His word that call us out!! We cannot choose to keep any sin and be walking with Jesus at the same time!
  • Are you praying that God delivers you from the sin in your life or have you chosen your sin over His command?
  • Do you truly know God or do your actions and your heart disprove your claim?
  • Do we strive to obey His whole Word…even the stuff the world accepts?
  • Is your desire that God’s love is truly made complete in you?
  • Will you be led by the Spirit today?
  • Because of our sinful nature we all struggle with sin and the temptation that sin brings. A Christian’s goal should be to live a life which follows the example Jesus set while He was on earth. Our goal should never be to act better than those around us! Our example is Jesus Christ! May we never set our goals too low and may we always strive to be Christlike!! The walk is only possible through the Holy Spirit, which is always available to those who are in Christ Jesus! 
  • Does your effort support your claim of Jesus as your Lord?
  • Who do you respect, admire, emulate, and pattern your life after?
  • Who would you trust to lead you through any situation or circumstance?
  • Who is the one, without a doubt, that always has the right answer?

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Isaiah 5:11-12

“Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening as wine inflames them. They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts, but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord, or see the work of his hands.”

Isaiah 1:18-20

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” 1 John 1:6-7 “If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Isaiah 1:5-6

“Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil.” James 4:10 “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.

No one comes to the Father
