For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23.
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” James 2:10.
We have all sinned. We have all disobeyed God's law in one way or another. We arn't better than one another. This disobedience to God is known in our own hearts yet we try to brush it asside and think we are a good person. Isn't that human nature or the nature of sin? So what is the difference between a believer and non-believer in Christ? Stay tuned because i'd love to tell you. Speaking to me also is the realisation that I have sinned. Are we all able to recognise this fact? if we do then it is a step in the right direction toward knowing God and what he has in store for you and me.
So, what is the difference between a believer and non-believer in Christ?
Are we good inside and if not how does a person become good or are we ever good? Also what is the result if we don’t put ourselves right with God?
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
First the difference between a believer and non believer is this… A non believer there is a spiritual separation from God. This separation is on this earth and eternally for ever. If a person doesn’t except Christ as their personal saviour it is then an absolute reality separation from God is in the now and eternity. In this state we will voluntarily miss out on the blessings of which God is patiently waiting to freely give. In a sinful state there is a death which can only be empowered and made alive in God by accepting God’s own Son, the Lord Jesus Christ by letting the Holy Spirit to enter our lives.
The result of not accepting the Lord Jesus Christ makes us bad. It is Sin which makes us bad. From the beginning of the fall with Adam and Eve, sin had entered the world with a vengeance. The only way back to God is through the Lord Jesus Christ. Then in God’s eyes this will make us good. Oh, yes we will sin, but once we have accepted Him, The bible says we have and advocate (someone who will plead our case). This is the Lord Jesus Christ. But how can Jesus plead our case if we refuse HIm as our Lord Jesus Christ. e.g If we went to court and refused to have a lawyer speak on our behalf, How then can he plead our case?
The final result not accepting Christ are… No life here on earth to receive his amazing blessings. Cries for help will be hindered in difficult times on this earth which we live and Satan is going too and fro in your life and mine. A separation from God eternally so when we die, He never knew you. And Just a little encouragement , (please remember Satan can and will go too and fro in our lives but, but, but God is everywhere present all of the time). I know who I love to follow.
More to come. An invitation is to you to accept The Lord Jesus Christ now and the Holy Spirit will enter in. It is only then, Only then the full blessings of God can be extended into our lives and have the victory in Him.
Accept Him now. Just pray.
10 as it is written:“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands; no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;no one does good, not even one.”
13 “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes
It is well appreciated from us all, good things are done in our community and the world i,e. helping the poor, and other good deeds to help others. While it’s true that these things make us feel good, we don’t have the innocence which proclaims a righteousness before a Holy God. In many cases Christians and churches do help out in the community. We are instructed as believers to help the poor and do good deeds.
Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him. Proverbs 14:31
So yes, it is Christian like and God like to help the poor and other good deeds. Are we good inside and if not how does a person become good or are we ever good? Also what is the result if we don’t put ourselves right with God? You see it’s what’s in our hearts and our lives which determine if we are good. If we are only doing things in our own strength without God in our lives then our good isn’t worth anything. Our outward efforts need to match our inward heart knowing a Holy God.
What then do we need to do? Stay tuned.
