Romans 13:9-14 9) For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 11) And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13) Let us walk honestly (properly), as in the day; not in rioting (revelry) and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Almost all of the things I write and put into this blog, are not things God has given me to pass on to you to correct you for errors in Christian living, but these are things God has given me during my walk with Christ to help fix me. They ended up (howbeit it took a while) being a great benefit to me, and helped me to turn around and get my Christian walk back on track. I only hope, that passing this info along may be a help to other also.
I was one of those Christians that loved to worship on Sunday, but considered the rest of the week was mine, to go out and live in sin (even thou I would justify it in my head as not being sin). Surely God wouldn’t hold me accountable, because deep inside I felt I loved him. I do know a lot of others who call themselves Christians, but live like the devil. I can’t say whether or not God will save them or not. I know when I read the letters of Paul, I come across lists of sins (some of which I was doing, if not fiscally, I was doing in my heart) and after Paul list them, he says those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God . Funny thing was, nowhere could I find a verse that gave me permission to do any of those things I was guilty of doing. Fortunately for me, I have a Godly wife, that doesn’t mind at all straightening me out, when I get off track and the Holy Spirit of course.
