We are all born into different cultures
with different beliefs and practices that are worldly. Many are born
into church denominations and they cling to the culture and doctrines
of their church. None of those cultures are suitable for the kingdom
of heaven. If we want to have eternal life we need to accept Jesus,
be born again and live according to His words and commandments.
We need to become like Jesus.
Do not become like other
people. Do not become like the Christians. Most Christians are
not following Jesus. They are following the cultures and doctrines of
men. Become like Jesus.
The words of Jesus, the words that He
spoke and commanded, are the words and rules of the kingdom of
God. The words of Jesus are the only words that lead to eternal life,
if we obey them. Jesus delivered many of His commandments in the
sermon on the mount as recorded in Matthew chapters 5 to 7. We read
in Matthew 7:24-27. "Therefore everyone who hears these words of
Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his
house on the rock. 25“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and
the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not
fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26“Everyone who hears
these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish
man who built his house on the sand. 27“The rain fell, and the
floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and
it fell—and great was its fall.”
Many Christians disregard the
words of Jesus and rather follow the teachings of their churches and
the church of their fathers. Many regard their culture more than the
words of Jesus. Others stuby the Bible but skip over and around the
words of Jesus. They are building on sand. Those who disobey Jesus
will be disappointed. They will not have eternal life.
Jesus is
the way, the truth and the life. Treasure His words and obey them, as
they were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Become
like Jesus, not like the world and the Christians. Jesus is the way.
Follow Him until the end, and you will have life.
May Jesus bless
you.
