” Come out from among them and be separate says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. ” 2 Corinthians 6:17
” I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:18
” He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never ending fire.” Luke 3:17
It is very easy for us to set back and say to ourselves that our Lord will return someday but probably not today. It is easy to go about our daily routines without the fear of the Lord surrounding us. We have heard for years upon years that our Lord is going to return, and with each year flying by, it begins to seem as though His return will be after our lifetime. Our Lord has given us fair warning throughout his Mighty Word that we are to separate ourselves from the ways of the world. We are to be different. We are to repent of our sins and move forward in his light and not our own light. Sometimes we put too much focus on His return. We forget that no matter when he comes, we are going to meet Him upon our transfer from this life to life everlasting. It is while we are on this earth that the decisions we make and the way we live will help to determine our fate. You see, he is getting ready to separate the chaff from the wheat. We are going to be a part of that process and I’m sure we want to be on the correct side of that separation. He tells us very plainly that we are to change our lives. We were all born into sin but after developing our personal relationship with Jesus we are to change. We are to become like our Father in heaven and not live our lives as worldly participants. As we continue to grow in Christ, we become closer to Him. Our relationship becomes one like father to son or father to daughter. We begin to realize that He came to this earth to show us and lead us in the way to life everlasting. There is no doubt that He is Lord. There is no doubt that He loves us and wants us to make the right decisions in our lives. He has given each of us a free will because wants each of us to come to Him with sincerity and not deception. He wants us to come into His ways with the desire to be with Him and not just because someone tells us to. It is up to you and me to make our own decisions. It is up to us to repent of our own sins and separate from the world. It is not easy but when you are having difficulties just turn your eyes to Jesus! He is always right there beside us! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
