when we come to Christ, our lives should be changed.
An genuine relationship with Christ will radically change your lifestyles. after we get to know Jesus, our lives should be radically distinctive.
If i am going to comply with Jesus, I cannot go on residing like the world lives. If we are saying, "i do know God," however our lives don't resemble Christ, if we don't do what he instructions, the Bible says that grownup is a liar and the reality isn't in them. (see 1 John 2:4)
if you say you're a Christian, but you aren't obedient to God, there is no non secular fruit on your existence, and you are disobeying his note, you can be deceiving your self.
Our focus currently has been basically regarding lying. individuals supply all types of excuses for mendacity, but right here is the bottom line — the leading purpose individuals lie is because they haven't realized to have confidence God absolutely.
They trust their lie will work better than the certainty. They think the lie will preserve them protected, but if you happen to lie, you are by no means secure. And it isn't safe to are trying to build your lifestyles on a lie.
Lies carry bondage, and in case you have been mendacity, you comprehend it is right. even so, certainty brings freedom. however satan needs us to lie. He needs us to deceive ourselves, and he desires us to lie to others.
He desires us to agree with his lies so a whole lot that ultimately, we can reside a lie. on the other hand, Jesus wants us to stroll within the fact, to event the reality and experience how the reality can set us free.
devil is the father of lies. The Bible tells us his native language is mendacity. His lies are certainly one of his most helpful weapons to make use of towards us. but Jesus stated himself because the method, the truth and the existence. (see John 14:6) He also talked about, "you're going to be aware of the certainty, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)
My prayer is that God will unleash his certainty in our lives in a very powerful manner. fact comes from him. Ask him to forgive you in your lies. Pray for his cleaning. Don't fall for the lies and deception of the enemy.
as a substitute, may also the spirit of God renew our options and attitudes. Be inclined to confess the fact. name out the sin in your life. Admit it when you've got lied, when you've got sinned or if you have strayed away from the fact.
