Do not be deceived…
3 min read, approximately
“But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life.” (Galatians 6:6-8)
God is:
“…to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Timothy 1:17)
He is the:
“…only wise God, to whom be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.” (Romans 16:27)
In response, we:
“Know ye that Jehovah, he is God: It is he that hath made us, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” (Psalms 100:3)
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10)
We must understand that:
“…there is no created thing that is not revealed in his presence; rather, everything is naked and open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give an account.” (Hebrews 4:13)
Although it is true that: ‘…God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),’ (Ephesians 2:4-5) And:
“…I have come so that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10b)
We must also understand that:
“God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day. If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready; He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery [shafts]. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.” (Psalms 7:11-16)
Therefore, today…
“Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate.” (2 Corinthians 13:5)
And if there is wickedness:
“Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee. For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.” (Acts 8:22-23)
May God continue to bless you
