In the day of judgment, God will call you to account, not on the basis of how you feel, but on the basis of your walking in obedience to His commandments.
Exposure to Scripture forms an essential ingredient in obtaining the “mind of Christ.”
Everyone invests his life in something by virtue of his living. No moment can be saved for another day. Time once spent can never be recaptured.
God gave you your conscience for a reason. He understands that it is not totally reliable, and therefore augments it with Scripture.
If the commandments of God are like the edge of a cliff, your convictions determine how close to the edge you should get without fear of falling off.
When you live with unconfessed sin, refusing to make it right, not only do you carry the burden of guilt, you have no ability to determine if adversity is God’s discipline or not.
So important is walking by faith to our Lord, that you will find Him often placing you in a position where you are forced to believe. You will find such times uncomfortable, but these are the moments when you learn to trust God.
Certain things only He can do, and certain things He wants you to do. Your task, as His follower, is to know the difference.
Just as fruit cannot produce itself, but is the overflow of a healthy tree, so the fruit of the Christian life, in the form of good works, comes from a healthy life – i.e., one in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. Good works do not make a man pious; pious men do good works.
You cannot know what you do not know unless God reveals it to you. Never become frustrated with the non-Christian’s inability to understand spiritual truth.
