Life Grows Sweeter in Jesus Christ
Amen! There are those who do not want us to move on from a sketchy past and live for Christ. Those people must be removed from our lives. Christ changed those who trusted in Him and there is no going back and no residual guilt over past failures, just pure joy and growing wisdom.
Self Righteous People Feed on Faults and Flaws of Others
I know many people like this; they tend to think more highly of themselves than is warranted and remember everyone else's past forgiven sins to make themselves feel superior. It is impossible to be friends with people like this; they carry a lot of jealousy because they are not happy and hate that others have been freed and are full of joy.
Speaking or Living?
Matthew 15:8-9
"8 ‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
9 And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
Many people speak well of God but never utter the name of Jesus Christ because they are not familiar with Him. They are familiar with a system they call "religion" but not with the Person of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
22 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?’
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’"
Many people are in love with their idea of love but not with God. They enjoy a false sense of safety when they pretend to love God but negate most of His Word.
Mark 7:13 "13 Thus, you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
This modern church system has many traditions they practice that God never gave. They make up a system they like and intimidate others to follow it instead of Christ.
Modern people are more vested in pretending than they are in reality and living what they say. This is why the next generation views things that are said more than the way people live. They have little concept of developing Christlike character, its all about the appearance of good, not genuineness from the heart.
This is why we see so many broken families, destroyed relationships and disrespect for the word of God. Personal happiness has become the goal of everyone.
Matthew 22:37 "And He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’"
When we love Him with all our hearts, He speaks to us through His Word as we seek to obey Him.
