Guard You Relationship With Jesus

Most Christian believers do not understand that salvation is about knowing obeying and following Jesus Christ. It is not religion, it is a relationship with the Living God.

God revealed Himself in and through Jesus Christ who took on the form of a man, to take away the sins of the world and save many from eternal damnation. Jesus saves those who believe in Him and obey His teachings as they were also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus saves those who accept Him as their Lord and Master, repent, turn from their evil ways, are baptized in water and live in obedience to His teachings. He forgives their past sin, reveals Himself to them, they are born again, made new inside, and He gives His Holy Spirit in them, to teach and guide them and to be with them for ever. If they stay with Him, follow and obey Him until the end, He gives them eternal life. Those who disbelieve, reject and disobey Jesus, will perish in eternal damnation.

Most Christian believers practice religion. They do not obey and follow Him. They do not know Him. They do not have a real relationship with Him. Salvation is not about complying with a set of rules, and performing religious rituals. It is about our relationship with Jesus, obeying and following Him, staying with Him.

Our relationship with Jesus depends on our obedience to Him. If we love Him, we will obey Him and do what He commands. If we sin and disobey Him we destroy our relationship with Jesus.

If we care about our relationship with Jesus,  we will be very careful not to disobey Him and not to sin. If we do sin, the only way to restore our relationship with Jesus is to repent of that sin, with remorse and contriteness, to plead His forgiveness, and to make every effort not to do the same sin again. 

We have to constantly work on our relationship with Jesus and make sure that we do what is pleasing to Him in everything. The only way  that we can grow our relationship with Jesus is through constantly keeping Jesus on our mind, praying, being totally dependent on Him.

In all things we must ask His guidance and obey Him. He will guide and teach us, through His Holy Spirit that He gives in those who love and obey Him.

We have to guard our relationship with Jesus above all things, because without Jesus we have no hope, no expectation. Jesus warned that He will say to many Christian believers, when they die:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness." They will be cast into damnation because they never obeyed and followed Jesus. They never had any relationship with Him. They were just religious.

How is our relationship with Jesus? Do we know  obey and follow Jesus? Do we truly know Him and does He know us? Are we guarding our relationship with Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

Guard Your Walk

Jesus Christ will never
leave us and He will never forsake us. He will always be there with
us, but we have to stay with Him until the very end. We have to guard
our walk with Him. If we stray from Jesus, if we leave Him, He will
not hold us back. He will call us back.

If we stray He might
discipline us, put circumstances in our way to turn us from our
wicked ways, to turn us back to Him. Many believers do not recognize
the hand of God when He disciplines them. They become hardened of
heart through the deceitfulness of their sin, because they went their
own way. The Holy Spirit will call us back, convict us to change our
ways, but He will never force us.

Our relationship with
Jesus, our walk with Him, is our responsibility. The quality of our
walk with Him depends entirely on us, because Jesus is faithful, but
if we are unfaithful we will lose Him, we will lose eternal life. We
have to guard our walk with Him and make sure that we are doing what
is pleasing to Him. We must make sure that we obey His commands, that
which He taught, that which He commanded as also recorded in the
Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

We must seek Him. We must
seek His voice, His Spirit, His guidance. If we seek Him, we find
Him; if we draw closer to Him, He draws closer to us. If we ask Him
He will speak to us. He will guide us, He will teach us, but if we
turn away from Him, if we stray from Him, we will perish, if we do
not repent. We have to guard our walk with Jesus. We have to make
ourselves available to Him. We have to seek His guidance, we have to
seek to be pleasing to Him, because if we don't we are not worthy of
Him. If we do not guard our walk we will go stray and we will end up
in hell.

Our relationship and our
walk with Jesus depends entirely on us. If we are not willing He will
not force us. If we don't want to follow Him He will not force us. He
loves us, He cares for us, but He will never force us. If we don't
love Him and if we don't care for Him and we don't care for our
relationship with Him, our walk with Him, then we will not enter His
kingdom. We need to seek to hear His voice. We need to seek to be
guided by him. We need to seek His kingdom and His righteousness. We
need to seek Jesus Himself. If we don't, in the end we will only have
ourselves to blame when He turns us away, and He says to us:"Go
away, I never knew you, you workers of wickedness." We need to
cleanse our lives, repent, be baptized in water, seek the baptism in
the Holy Spirit, seek to hear His voice every day. If we don't, we
will stray from Him. It depends entirely on us where we will end up.
Jesus is willing and He is eager to save us, but if we don't want to
be saved, if we don't want to walk with Him and follow Him, in the
end He will deliver us to our desires. If we love other things more
than Him, then we will end up where those other things take us.

How is our walk with
Jesus? Are we close to Him? Do we seek to obey Him? Do we seek to
hear His voice? Are we serious about the kingdom of God? Are we
seeking revelation from Him, or don't we care? Is it not a priority
in our lives. If it's not a priority then, we're not worthy of Jesus.
If we are lukewarm, He will spew us out" We have to serve Jesus
and follow Him, go after Him with all our heart, with everything that
is in us. Not many are being saved. Jesus said:"Strive hard,
because Strait is the gate and narrow is the door and few there be
that find it ." Very few want to walk with Jesus. Very few guard
their walk with Jesus. Are we serious with Jesus? Do we really love
Him and do we really want to enter His kingdom?

May Jesus bless you.

Guard your relationship

Many Christians believe that Jesus Christ has done everything for them and that He will do everything for them, they just have to believe in Jesus Christ and then Jesus will do everything for them. There is nothing further from the truth.
Jesus said that :”Whoever WISHES to COME AFTER ME must DENY himself every day, pick up his cross and come here follow Me.” If we want eternal life, WE have to turn away from sin, WE have to turn away from our own desires, WE have to go after Jesus Christ, WE have to control ourselves. WE have to GO AFTER Him with everything that is in us. WE have to guard our relationship with Jesus Christ, He will not do it for us. WE have to follow HIM if we WISH. If we don't, if we do not OBEY Him, if we do not go after Him and if we do not guard  our relationship with Him, we will PERISH. If we refuse to serve Him then He is not our Lord, then He is nothing to us and if we deny Him He will certainly deny us also.
WE have to go after Jesus Christ if we want eternal life. WE have to be righteous and holy and obedient to HIM. We have to serve HIM, He will not serve us, He is GOD, He is LORD, He is KING, He is MASTER, He RULES but if we disregard Him He will also disregard us. WE have to guard our relationship with Jesus Christ. If we do not hear His voice then WE have to ask Him WHY: What is wrong with the relationship? What have we done wrong? What do we need to do to fix our relationship with Him? WE have to GO AFTER HIM and make sure that we KEEP UP WITH HIM or else WE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND, we will PERISH!
Jesus Christ will not do it all for you and for me, WE have to go after HIM and ENDURE, stay WITH HIM until the very end. Only those who endure UNTIL THE END will have eternal life. Do not be fooled. Guard your relationship with Jesus Christ above all things. That is the only relationship that will matter for eternity.
May Jesus bless you.
