Dear friends, there is only one reason, only one reason for a sinner to repent, and it is because Jesus Christ deserves praise and worship, love, and obedience from the heart, not because He goes to heaven. If the only reason you regretted yourself, dear friend, was to get you out of hell, all you are is a Levite serving for ten cycles and a shirt!You are trying to serve God because He will do you good!However, a repentant heart is a heart that has seen some of the enormity of the crime of playing God and denying the righteous and righteous God the worship and obedience it deserves.
- Why should a sinner repent?Not just for him to go to heaven.
- If the only reason he repented is to go to heaven.
- Then it is nothing more than trying to make a deal or negotiate with God.
Why should a sinner forsake all his sins?Why should I be challenged to do so: Why should I make a restitution when it comes to Christ?Because God deserves the obedience He needs!
I have spoken to people who are not sure that their sins will be forgiven; they want to feel safe before committing to Christ; But I believe that the only people to which God truly testifies through His Spirit and who are born of God are people who, speak or not, approach Jesus Christ and say something like this:?Lord Jesus, I will say obey you, love you, serve you, and do whatever you want me to do, as long as I live, even if I go to hell at the end of the road, simply because you are worthy to be loved, obeyed, and served. And I’m not trying to make a deal with you!?
Can you see the difference? Can you see the difference between a Levite serving a shirt for ten cycles and a Mica building a chapel, because God is going to do you good and someone who repents for the glory of God? Why should a person come to the cross? Why should a person embrace death with Christ? Why should a person accept, by identification, descend to the cross, enter the tomb, and rise? I tell you why! Because it is the only way for God to obtain the glory of a human being! If you say it is because the person will achieve joy, peace, blessings, success or fame, then he is nothing more than a frock coat serving ten cycles and a shirt. There is only one reason you are going to the cross, dear young man. And that is because until you reach the place of union with Christ in your death, you are deceiving the Son of God of the glory that he could obtain from your life. So that no flesh can boast before him. And until you understand the sanctifying work of God through the Holy Spirit that brings you to union with Christ in DEATH and in BONDING and RESURRECTION, you must serve what you have and with everything. . that you have, that is under penalty of death: human personality, and human nature, and human strength and energy. And God will not take away any glory.
Therefore, the reason you go to the cross is not to win, you will win; you must have no joy, you will have joy; But why do you kiss the cross and stand firm until you know you can testify with Paul?Am I crucified with Christ? Gods.
