As children of GOD we need to learn to do what is right. Not what is right in our own eyes. But that which is right in the eyes of GOD.
And GOD has given us HIS rules. HIS statutes and HIS commandments. HE also sent HIS only Son Jesus Christ, a fine example to us of how to live our lives.
So what exactly is right in the eyes of GOD? We need to love the LORD our GOD above everything on earth. We need to love one another. We need to follow the ten commandments to the letter. We need to keep GOD's rules and HIS statutes.
Here is the thing. We are born sinful. We are separated from GOD by our sin.
How do we get right with GOD. We admit that we are sinners. We ask GOD to forgive us. We forgive those who sin against us. We love one another.
Most of all, we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Redeemer. We are then filled with the Holy Spirit and He comes to live in us. He shines His light on our sin and convicts us when we sin. We repent.
Repentance looks like something. We change our hearts and our minds. We know what is right and what is wrong. We grow closer and closer and closer to GOD. We begin to look like a new creation - because we are.
If people in your life do not notice that you are changing. Then you are not. Then you are not growing in your faith. And you need to go back to the basics.
A - admit that you are a sinner
B - believe in Jesus Christ as Lord as Redeemer, as the only way, the only truth and the only true light of the world.
C - confess this truth with your mouth.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, thank YOU for YOUR guidance in the way that I need to grow to become more like Jesus each and every day. FATHER I thank YOU in the Holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truthfully GOD blessed today!
