A line in The Sand

Post #3: You are Either with Him or Agianst Him

“I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” John 8:24

“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Matt 16:24

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” Matt 12:30

This is simple, so I’ll keep this short.

The Lord, our God makes this CLEAR that if you want to be a disciple (or Christian) you must deny yourself and take up your cross. All the sin and filth that you knew before hand is washed clean, but if you don’t know him, and take up your cross, you shall die in sin.

We are to give our ALL to the lord, now maybe your all isn’t as “good” as some other Christians. But God does not care, he does not see what we see, he sees the heart of who we are. (See Psalm 17:3 if you want further details.) What matters is that we are doing all that the lord needs of us. If you have a desire to go to Mexico to serve, THEN GO! That’s no humanly desire! That’s God, and he wants you to give your all!

But it isn’t just outward acts of love, no we need to shine of the lords glory from the inside out! MIND! Use it, God gave it to for a reason! But use it in a way that crowns our lord, not throws him to the side! Those thoughts that run across your mind, be it temptation or hate for another, destroy them! (see Matt 5:30)

But this is what I’m getting too, you are either with him, or against him. Are you full heartily giving him a 100%? Because any less is worth nothing in the kingdom of heaven. Your either crowning him or burying him you choose.
