“They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.” Titus 1:16
Sometime last night God brought this to my attention. Masquerading is living under false pretenses both to yourself and to others.
It is not about going through the motions but living out your faith in almighty God. Jesus Christ wants your undivided devotion and loyalty. You cannot please God by your works or putting on a religious face on Sunday mornings.
The God who can cause stones to cry out with praise and elation for the Son of God wants a heart commitment from you.
God has kept his part of the covenant concerning human life. He has given you Jesus, the Son of God. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is complete and lacks nothing. He is your only hope for life today and forever.
This epitomizes the walk with God; “I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
As a true believer, you have to be willing to lay down your life for Jesus. You die to self and live for God. He becomes the centerpiece of your life and you develop the attitude “In Him we live and move and have our being.”
God wants your unwavering faith in Him and to judge Him by His Word and never by your circumstances. Challenges in life will come and go but God will never change or contradict His Word.
The Word is your safety net and the path to an abundant life. Pray for a genuine and authentic faith in the Son of God. He loves you!
Thought for the day:
“I am seeking people who will lose their life for Me and live by faith in My promises. Religion is a hypocrisy to My name. Come to Me with an open heart and a desire to live your life through Me. Your faith in who I am will make you whole and set you free.”
