TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but he is ready to listen to those who worship him and do his will.” John 9:31
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Have you ever asked yourself just what it means to be a godly person? Or have you ever asked yourself if you are a godly person? Can you be godly and be a sinner at the same time? Everyone is born a sinner. We are all born with a sinful nature and there is only one way to overcome that nature and that is by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. The term godly is a term used to describe the action of being like God. A godly person is one who is committed to obeying our God in this world. We know that our God in heaven does not listen to sinners. John 9:31 tells us that. So, how can we be godly and a sinner at the same time? Since we are all born sinners God sent his Son, Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. He gave us each a choice as to whether to have belief in Jesus or not to believe and go our own separate way. A godly person is one who knows the Lord Jesus and is one who allows the Holy Spirit to guide him in the ways of the truth set forth by the Lord. As a godly person we become one mind with God. We begin to think like him and begin to live in ways that he desires. We begin to hate what he hates and love what he loves. We begin to measure everything in this world by the standard of His Word. We become godly when we decide to accept the truth and not the deception of what is going on around us. We are godly when we truly believe that our Lord Jesus did die for our sins, our healing and our salvation. We become godly when our actions begin to show our beliefs to the world without fear of what others will say or do to us. We become godly when we go to our God in prayer with the belief that he does answer our prayers. We stand firm in his Word and live the truth in every way we act. Yes, we may stumble but we are godly when we realize that our God in heaven will pick us up and put us back on the right path. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
