Title Now to God (Joshua 24:19-28)
Contents How did you feel as you read Joshua's will today, and what message do you think God will give us?
How can we turn to God? Because we can never serve God with words alone, we need to know who God is.
In other words, we must live as a good person. When we know the holy God, we can live holy lives. This is a command from God. Knowing a holy God means that my life must also be lived holy. [Be holy, because I am holy] (Leviticus 11:45).
First, we are sanctified by the holy blood of Jesus Christ.
So we must live in the conviction that we are already a holy people.
We do not become holy through our holy deeds.
Just because you live a holy life and live a holy life, it does not mean that you will be saved, become God's people, or go to heaven and become the people of the kingdom of heaven. By the perfect grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ, we have been saved and justified as children of God. Our holiness begins with the redemptive event of Jesus Christ.
Second, holiness begins with the grace of Jesus Christ and our active obedience to faith.
As children of God, we should live by pursuing a righteous and holy person worthy of that child.
The reason we can live this holy life is because God has redeemed us and sealed us as holy beings. Therefore, we must live with pride and courage in the conviction that we are holy people.
We can be sanctified by the Holy Spirit, by faith, and by obedience.
What does the text tell us to do to love God and live a holy life? First, choose the Lord, and serve him (verse 22). In other words, obey and put into action.
Faith that we choose and serve God is that the goal of our life is to move toward the Lord every day. The only purpose of my life is a confession of faith that I live for the Lord and for the glory of the Lord, a decision and a confession of faith that I am not living for myself and my own glory. Our God still loves us very much. you are doing Please believe that when we are in the arms of the God who loves us, it is the happiest, safest, most peaceful time for us and the time to enjoy God's greatest blessings.
Please believe that faith toward God is the best shortcut that can lead our lives to victory in the battle against the evil Satan. Please believe that only devoted obedience for God is the secret of being filled with the Holy Spirit to live in God's abundant grace.
I earnestly pray in the name of the Lord that you believe that only faith toward God is the solution to our problems, the way to heal physical and physical ailments, and the shortcut to answering our prayers.
