Title: Let's Be True to God
Contents
Micah 6:6-8
6. ○What shall I bring before the Lord to worship the Most High God? Shall I bring a calf a year old as a burnt offering before him?
7. Shall the LORD take pleasure in oil like a thousand rams or ten thousand rivers? Will I give my firstborn son for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8. Man, the Lord has shown you what is good. What does the Lord ask of you, but not to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
We are sorry for the times we live in, but it seems that sincere people are not so valued.
They seem to think of the most talented people as productive people who quickly adapt to this material-oriented world and collect materials by making new items.
People with humor that make people laugh, politicians, artists, or special talents don't seem to be recognized as capable people without money.
I wondered why this happened.
People have a heart for God who wants people to live true, honest, and holy lives, but the world only has such people in their hearts and doesn't care about them.
This is because humans are sinners, and Satan is leading the world in that way. So many believers are deceived by Satan and try to live wisely rather than being truthful before God.
But what does God require of us in the Bible?
A person who is sincere before being wise before God.
Wisdom is needed to live a true life.
We must do our best to be truthful before God.
The first reason we must be true is because God has been true to us.
God is not pretentious or pretentious for us.
You didn't put your wisdom first.
God has always been truthful toward people.
Despite the many betrayals of sinners, God did not withhold, stop, or give up His love and kindness toward humans.
Moses said in Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, and his works are perfect, and all his ways are just and true, a God without deceit, just and upright.
As Jesus spoke, truly, truly, I say to you,
You have said this truth countless times.
The Spirit of the Lord is speaking truthfully to us.
Because God's truth is eternal, we must be truthful.
Second, even though we know the truth of God, why do we live an untruthful life?
This is because many people are always talking and taking care of themselves, not God-centered.
Even if most of the saints have decided to live truthfully before God, when they go out into the field of life, most people face fierce competition and face many things. In the face of hurting self-esteem, financial difficulties and competition, the hardship of protecting yourself and your family, and fear of the future, you put down the truth about living before God, speak with your own self-centeredness, and try not to lose, even if you lie or have unbelief. You will live anyway.
Then, how many believers have lost the holiness of God?
Reading the Bible, even though God loved and showed many miracles and sent many prophets to the people of Israel, among the parts that I do not understand, people worship many idols and even if they are punished by God for their idols, they cannot abandon their idols. I really don't understand.
If the God who showed me and met them had done that to me, I might have become a really great person of faith.

Why? When confronted with the reality of life, a person becomes God
As we change our lives to focus on ourselves, we are living as idols rather than blessings from God and pursuing our own pleasure.
Those who pursue their own material things and various pleasures are never satisfied with them. French and Italian presidents and thousands of successful people hear the news about sexual depravity. I only hear what appears
How many things are invisible?
If a person lives with self-centeredness, he will inevitably fall.
Man should live centered on God. God made us that way.
Third, how can we live a true life before God?
When we meet God often, a person can live a life of truth before God. Because we experience the true God when we meet God, we become true to God.
You can meet God moment by moment through prayer.
You can meet God by reading the Bible.
You can meet God while worshiping while driving a car.
We can meet while meditating.
In modern times, it is very important to eat and live, so they are busy.
I often do not think about why I am living my life or how much I am living.
However, the more they encounter God, the more they live their hearts and lives with sincerity. When I try to live according to God's guidance rather than trying to do anything, I can be true to God.
Dear brothers and sisters, I hope that you will meet God often and live a life of truth before God.
It's easy for people to live centered on themselves, but when you try to live for others
You will live a true life before God.
If you wrap yourself up in a life centered on yourself, eventually you will lose your true life before God. However, if you try to serve and love others, you will live a life of truth before God.
Even in the Bible today, when people worship God, people say,
One-year-old calves, or calves, are the most valuable offerings in the Old Testament era, when calves can be born. Or do I have to give a lot of sheep? Or will I give as much oil as a river (the oil is used to eat and light a fire), or the fruit of my body and my children for the sins of my soul?
He tells us that what God requires of us is to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with God.
To truly love others, not to live around yourself.
He is saying that he is living truthfully before God.
