Right In God Honors Truth

So many people saved and unsaved believe that getting into Heaven means nothing more than being a good person. Although we are supposed to be good, it takes being RIGHT with God. You have to ask yourself the following questions.
1.) Am I living righteously?
2.) Am I keeping his commandments, statues, and judgements?
3.) Am I filled with and baptized with the Holy Spirit?
4.) Am I unmovable, steadfast, unshakable, and abounding in the word of God?
5.) Am I a credible witness for Jesus?

To be righteous means that you do right by God. We know that Jesus was the only perfect man. We also know that we are not perfect. However, God wants to know that he can trust us to come to him and put him first and that when we do something that is not right by him, that we confess and repent our sins and give him the glory and honor regardless of the situation.

In John 14:21,Jesus says, " He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is who loves Me. He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and i will love him and manifest Myself to him."

When you are filled with and baptized with the Holy Spirit, there are certain people, places, activities, and things that you will not involve yourself with in any fashion. You have to take your mind and put it in line with the spirit of God in order to stop carnality. In Romans 8:9-10, " But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His, and if Christ is in you the body is dead because of sin, but Spirit is life because of righteousness."

You have to remain unmovable, unshakable, steadfast, and abounding for the word of God at all times whether they are good or bad. Give God the glory. You have to check the situation at the door with God. Always look to God to give you the answer and stay right with God. Psalms 150:6, "Let everything that has breath, praise ye the Lord."

Remember that although being a good person is wonderful, there are plenty of good people that still go to hell. In order to get to Heaven, you must be a child of God.

Be a Credible Witness

I can not begin to tell you how vital it is that you are a credible witness for Jesus Christ. The world has made a complete mockery of what it means to be a Christian. It is up to saints to re-define what it means to be a Christian according to the gospel of God. When you profess that you are a Christian, the world puts a microscope on your life to see what you do, how you act, and what you say.

When they see something that it contrary to what they believe a Christian is supposed be, it has detrimental affects. It then adds to the mockery and Christianity becomes a joke in their eyes. That is why your conduct, character, and commitment must be at the highest level at all times. When things in your life are wonderful, it is easy to be a Christian. The real question comes when times are difficult. For example, the gospel says that we are to be transformed from the world. That is easy when it is something you don't love or care about, but can you do it when it involves something that you cherish or love.

Whenever you feel yourself backsliding go to the hospital of Jesus, better known as 1John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us for our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." When Jesus died on the cross he forgave us for all of our sins whether they are transgressions or iniquities. God loves us with agape love and will never leave or forsake us, Hebrews 13:5.

When you are not a credible witness you disrupt 1.)plan of God, you force God to go to plan B. It shows God that you are not ready for the next progression and He can not bless you with the same favor. Stay on course so that you may receive plan A, which is God's best that He has for you. 2.) Yourself, you pick away at the relationship that you have with God. God is a jealous God and wants you to put him first at all times. 3. Others. They are looking to you to see Jesus. Since they may or may not know Jesus for themselves they are looking to you to see who He is. When they see falsehoods in you, they see falsehoods in Jesus.

Be a credible witness every day and seek the righteousness of the trinity in all that you say and do in your life.
