Hello friend,
God loves everyone, no
matter what they do wrong. However, that doesn’t mean that He will let everyone
into Heaven. We are responsible for our own mistakes whether we are Christians
or not, and our first priority should be to protect our soul from the filthiness
of this world. If we can’t do that, then why should God take us to Heaven?
Today I have some Bible
verses that list the do's and don’ts of being a Christian. The Bible says in
Galatians 5:22–23 “…The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is
no law.” If we have accepted Christ into our heart, and if we have the Holy
Spirit inside of us, then we should take God’s advice and build the fruits of
the spirit. As Christians we should not be easily angered, but instead be kind
and loving toward everyone that we know.
If we can’t show true love
and forgiveness towards people, then are we really saved? I have been guilty of
these types of things in the past; I’ve been easily angered and have shown
disrespect towards people, but these things do not define who I am. As
Christians we need to let only the good things define us, and we need to leave
everything else behind.
The Bible states in 1
Corinthians 6:9-10 “… Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of
God.” If we continue to be caught up in these types of sins, then it clearly
shows that we have not truly accepted Christ, or else our life would show it. People
should look at your life and be able to tell that you are a Christian. If you
swear, get tattoos, have pre-marital sex, drink alcohol in public, or hang out
with a bad crowd, it will not paint a good picture to people. What if you found
out that you could prevent someone from burning in Hell just by being a good
example for them? This is possible. We need to be a light to this dark world,
and we can become a light by living how God would have us live. God would have
it that every man be saved, but not every man would have it that God saves
them. This is truly sad. Please think about what I have written, and please come to grips with what we should and shouldn’t do as Christians, as this is the key to making
good decisions and protecting ourselves from the ways of the world.
In Christ,
Noah Brewster
