One way to God!
Follow Jesus! Many people who go to church live their way or the world’s way, but not Jesus’s way. Jesus said that his way was the only way to God.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Many people want to say they’re saved, but their ways prove them different. Christians must die out to their ways and the world’s ways and take on Jesus’s ways daily.
1 John 2:15 “Love not the world”, neither the things that are in the world. If any man the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of is not of the but is of the world.
1 John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
If you love the world or the things in it, as many who go to church, then the love of the Father is not in you.
A Christians’ affection is on things of God, not on things of the earth.
Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. God says that if you’re a friend of the world, you are not of God. God says you are guilty of adultery because you are married unto Christ, and you left your first love and are committing adultery with the world.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Jesus said to die daily to your flesh and follow him.
Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
We are to be crucified with Jesus, die out to ourselves and the lust of our flesh. The life Christians live is Christ in them, no more for themselves.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me
The only way you will ever die out to your flesh daily and live for Christ is to have a renewed mind.
The only way to renew your mind is to be born again by the Word of God and grow thereby.
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
And when we are born again by the Word of God, then we are able to deny ungodliness and lust and live in this present world.
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.
Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Colossians 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
