MY FRIENDS, DO WE CARE IF WE ARE DESCENDANTS OF GOD ENTITLED TO ALL HE HAS?

MY FRIENDS, DO WE CARE IF WE ARE DESCENDANTS OF GOD ENTITLED TO ALL HE HAS?

“The steps of a good man [or woman] are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand. I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed. Psalm 37:23-26 (NKJV)

Now my friend, we must now focus on who is Gods descendants? And do they walk among us each day?  Well Paul tells us in Romans 8:15-17 (NKJV) “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”

My friends that text tells you and I that we are offspring’s to the Father. “created in Him image” ”But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13 (NKJV)

Now that should put a smile on all of our faces, that is why He tells us, He will never leave nor forsake us” because we are His children His descendants, heirs to all He has. But what takes us from being His descendants, to life eternal in His kingdom, which is not accepted by everyone but if you do accept that challenge, the requirements is faith, endurance, dedication and a passion to serve Christ. The text also tells us we must “suffer with Him if we are to be glorified with Him”

Christ also tells us Himself in Luke 14:27 (NKJV) “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” Yes my friends we are descendants of God and heirs of all He has but “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ [And my Friends the saddest words we will ever here will be] And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you;” depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.” Matt 7:21-24 (NKJV)

Now Christ, because of His grace, mercy and love towards us, allows us to choose our on destination that is why he follows up what He tells us in Matt. 17:24-27 (NKJV) with “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell and great was its fall.” My friends our savior has allowed us to make our own decisions about our salvation.

So, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matt 7:!3-14 (NKJV) what is your decision today time is running out.

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
