God's Word says in Proverbs 16:18 "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."
"Our standing before God depends, not upon the amount of light we have received, but upon the use we make of what we have."
Please Read the following sentence Very Carefully....
Thus even the heathen who choose the right as far as they can distinguish it are in a more favorable condition than are those who have had great light, and profess to serve God, but who disregard the light, and by their daily life contradict their profession.
Do we realize how important it is to let our lives be a HUMBLE LIVING EXAMPLE of what we claim to believe and teach? Or are we hypocrites?
"The words of Jesus to His hearers in the synagogue struck at the root of their self-righteousness, pressing home upon them the bitter truth that they had departed from God and forfeited their claim to be His people."
"Every word cut like a knife as their real condition was set before them."
"They now scorned the faith with which Jesus had at first inspired them. They would not admit that He who had sprung from poverty and lowliness was other than a common man."
In the final judgement day they will hear Jesus say...As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 8:20
Time is running out my dear family and friends - Soon our probationary time will end. Let us bow before the Lord our God, confess our sins, and rededicate our lives once again to Jesus and be a strong and true witness in these closing moments of earth's history. Will you join me in singing this prayer of dedication?
1
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all,
I surrender all.
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
2
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
3
All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
4
All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
5
All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
