NOTHING CAN HOLD YOU BACK


Nothing can hold you back if you really want to follow Jesus, because Jesus
came to set the captives free. Many believers are in bondage of sin,
they cannot stop sinning and therefore they cannot follow Jesus.
They are slaves to sin. Jesus said: “Truly, truly, I say to you,
everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 35“The slave does not
remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. 36“So if
the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:34-36.
You
can be free from the bondage of sin, the lusts of the flesh and of
addictions, if you want to be free. Jesus can and will set you free
if you ask Him, but most people enjoy the pleasures of sin and the
lusts of the flesh. They do not want to stop doing those things. Even
if Jesus sets them free they go back to sin. They have no desire for
holiness.
Without
holiness no one will see the Lord. The unrighteous will not inherit
the kingdom of God. Sinners and sinning Christians have no fellowship
with Jesus, even if they are preachers and prophets. Jesus said:
21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in
heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord,
Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out
demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I
will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO
PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew 7:21-23.
No
sin or any other things can hold you back if you really want to
follow Jesus. You will have no excuse when you stand before Him in
judgment. Jesus will set you free and give you all the power that you
need, to follow Him and do what is pleasing to Him. He will not force
you, but if you don't want to follow and obey Him, and be holy, He
will refuse you. He will say to you: DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE
LAWLESSNESS.
Do
you really want to follow Jesus?
May
Jesus bless you.
