Righteous Men are NOT Sinners



Righteous
people do their utmost to not fall into sin, to not stumble but to be
utterly righteous, pure and holy. Sinners don't care about sin and
about righteousness. Many professing Christians are sinners but the
unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God.
We
read the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:9 “ 9Or do you not
know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not
be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor
effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom
of God. 11Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you
were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”
If
we REPENT and turn away from our wicked ways and commit to follow and
obey Jesus Christ then He forgives our past sins and He justifies us
but then we have to live as Jesus Christ commanded. it must be our
WAY OF LIVING, righteousness, holiness and obedience to the commands
of Jesus Christ, His words as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. Jesus Christ is the LIGHT of the world and if
we accept Him as our Lord and Master and we obey His words He gives
the Holy Spirit in us to guide us into all truth. The Holy Spirit
lights our way and we walk in the LIGHT of the Spirit of God.
The
apostle John wrote in 1 John 1:7 "but if we walk in the Light as
He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and
the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say
that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not
in us. 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to
forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If
we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is
not in us."
Once
we have repented we cease from sinning, we obey Jesus Christ and we
SIN NO MORE. We stay away from unholiness, unrighteousness and we
walk in the LIGHT. If we walk in the LIGHT of Jesus Christ, then we
will be pure and holy. I read the words of Jesus Christ in John 3:19
This
is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men
loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were
evil. 20“For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does
not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21“But
he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may
be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
Those
who love darkness who love sin, they hate the LIGHT, they do not come
to the LIGHT. They walk in darkness and that is why they SIN. That is
why they are unrighteous.
If
we walk in the LIGHT then we will be disciplined and corrected and we
will accept the discipline and correction, we will mend our ways so
that we can be suitable for the kingdom of God. If we reject the
discipline and correction then we will perish. we will get CUT OFF
and BURNED.
I
read the words of Jesus in 1 John 15:1
I
am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2“Every
branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and
every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may
bear more fruit. 3“You are already clean because of the word
which I have spoken to you. 4“Abide in Me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine,
so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5“I am
the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he
bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6“If
anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries
up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are
burned.”
Many
believers were once saved, they once followed Jesus Christ but then
they turned away and they went back to sin, they are not bearing
fruit and if they do not repent of their evil ways and live
righteously and holy they will get cut off and burned.
Righteous
men may stumble and that is why Jesus prunes them, He corrects them,
He disciplines them and they accept that discipline and correction.
They mend their ways so that they can be pure and holy and acceptable
to Him. Jesus Christ is coming for a pure bride. If we are
unrighteous and we do not submit ourselves to Him so that He can
cleanse us, purify us, so that we can be PERFECT, pleasing to Him,
then we will get cut off and burned. We will be rejected, we will not
be suitable for the kingdom of God.
Are
we RIGHTEOUS and holy, living in obedience to Jesus Christ or are we
SINNERS?


May
Jesus bless you.
