A Choice
Today's Scripture
1 Corinthians 10:21
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.
Devotion
Living a life that has one foot in God’s kingdom and one foot in the world just doesn't work. We must choose how we will live; in the world of evil or in God’s kingdom. We must decide who we will serve, God or the devil. Forgiveness is the beginning of making a turn towards God and away from evil. God is loving, forgiving and HOLY. The path we walk as Christians is the narrow path. When we first give our life to God the path is not so narrow but as we develop a relationship with this Holy God, the path gets narrower and narrower as we become more obedient to his ways and more holy. It is only through Jesus that we can truly be holy, he makes us holy and acceptable to God. What changes can you make in your life today to walk in holiness on that narrow path. A good place to start is by confessing sins to God and making a decision to turn away from them. Ask God to help with your struggles.
Today's Scriptures
Matthew 7:21
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
1John 2:5-6
This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.
2Cor 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
Devotional
A person who is truly a Christian will be different than those who do not know Jesus. If you are a child of God you will walk in righteousness. If we are walking on the narrow road our lives will reflect that we are different than the world. Here are some tough questions. Are you saved? Are you on the narrow path? Do you look more like the world than a Christian? What type of music do you listen to? What TV programs and movies do you enjoy. Does your life show the fruit of a Christian or do you look more like the world? "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven.” Does your life style show that you are practicing a life showing the will of God?
