Scripture for the Day Nov 18th 2020: God Ain't Stupid
No one can fool God. It would be foolish to try. We all know that the LORD saves even the worst sinners under three conditions:
(1) They repent of their sins.
(2) They turn from their wicked ways
(3) They confess Jesus Christ Lord and Savior
It's true. He'd save even wicked Hillary if she declared Jesus Lord with her last breath.
Romans 10:9-10 NASB
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
The thing though is, you can't fool God. Satan knows the Scriptures and tries to use it against humans. To illustrate, let's assume someone who is living in sin knows the Scripture and says: "Well, that's great. I will do my thing, and when the end comes, I just declare Jesus Lord, and I will reap the benefits of this life and those of Heaven!" But not so fast, Chucky! You can't have it both ways. God KNOWS your heart. He knows your thoughts before you even formed them. He KNOWS your motivation. A truly saved person will not want to live a sinful life anymore. They want to live righteously.
Proverbs 16:2 (NASB)
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight,
But the Lord weighs the motives.
GOD ain't stupid, you see...
Get right with God now. It may be too late tomorrow. If you are not saved yet, the fact that you're reading this is not an accident.
Pray the declaration below, repent, and rejoice. Did you know that every time someone is saved, the angels in Heaven throw a party? Let's throw them a giant party!
If you have questions, contact me, and I am happy to answer your questions.
Luke 15:10 (NASB)
"In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
Prayer of Salvation
"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen."
Blessings to you, now and forever.
