"Tend to your heart and mind daily, and pray your way through life"~
|
Are we any different from the Israelites who time and time again turned away from God? As individuals and a nation, do we take the history of the Bible and really read it, understand it, and learn to fear and revere our just God? The Old Testament was not replaced by the New Testament and the life of Jesus Christ. The Old Testament stands as a testimony for us, examples if you will, of how we should NOT behave in the face of God who will judge us fairly. God gave chances to the Israelites again and again, with the best chance the resurrection of Jesus. It is up to us to choose whether we accept the truth that is written, and Pastor John Collins of John Collins Ministries is redeeming the Gospel so that we can understand that truth, once and for all, to make an educated choice in truth, knowledge and wisdom.
From John Collins Ministries:
“You will say then, ‘Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.’ Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.” Romans 11:19-21 (NKJV).
Why is the Old Testament relevant?
It is there to teach you how God deals with His
people. As believers in Jesus Christ, you must
know what is expected of you in your relationship with God and in order
to know this you are to become knowledgeable in how He dealt with the Jews who
are the natural branches of the olive tree, while you are of the wild olive
tree.
There is a need to recognize the mistakes that the Jewish people made in their relationship with God so that you do not
make the same ones. Do not become overconfident in your faith but always
maintain reverence and awe in your contemplation of the Lord. Do not become too caught up
in making money and gaining financial success that you forget the basics of
your faith. Do not forget to tend to your heart and mind daily and to pray your
way through life.
There are just too many people that do not put in any real
effort or consistent effort toward getting into heaven but just assume that
they are going there. Don’t take Jesus for granted
but work your butt off to do as He has told you to do.
Never walk through life with any conceit because you know
that Jesus is
the way, the truth and the life and you believe in Him but have humility and pity for those that have yet to
come to that knowledge and be willing to live a life that shines for Jesus so that others may come to the cross because of you.
“Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” Romans 11:22 (NKJV).
