Sermon – Part Two: How Will You Live Your Life? (What Punctuation Mark Describes Your Life?)
God has given us time between our birth and death. How will you live your life? What will your ‘black box’ record about you?
Have you ever done something wrong and wondered why you could not look in the mirror and lie to yourself? Satan tried to make Eve think that sin was good, pleasant and desirable. God’s Word, The Holy Bible, tells us what is good and what is evil.
As God called to Adam, “Where art thou,” He is also calling to you. Where are you?
Genesis 3:11
“And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?”
God tells us what to do and what not to do. As with Eve, people think sin is good, pleasant and desirable, and think that the knowledge of good and evil is harmless. People usually choose wrong things because they have become convinced that those things are good. It feels good so it must be good. Our sins don’t always appear ugly to us. And it’s the ‘pleasant’ sins that are the hardest to avoid.
Romans 1: 22
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools
We can’t always prevent temptation. God does not tempt us; the devil does. But there is always an escape. Recognize and confess your sin to God. He will forgive you.
John 1: 29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
What statement will be in your black box when that day, hour, minute and second comes?
John 12: 26
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
Jesus has accepted you? Have you accepted Him?
John 6: 47
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Life is short. Accept Jesus. That is eternal.
