Forgiveness when we deserve none. Love when we do not merit it. Endless Help on daily basis. Yet, this God lavishes us continuously with benefits unmerited. Yes, this is called grace. We all misbehaved, and God has generals who do His works and He also has kids who not just constantly messed up but do it annoyingly. Yet, He is not mad at them. Love that is better than that of a parental love is God’s love.
What a sweet God and what a loving Father we have. What a God! This is truly God; this is Grace. Grace is love unending.

You do not discuss your sin with God.You do not negotiate your sin Him. Also, do not try to explain your sin to Him. You are to do only one thing–to repent of your sin before Him.

In the Bible, David tried to negotiate his sin with Bathsheba but that did not work.

When you go to God because of any sin,  just do one thing–repent.

 

Today, it is so hard to live a perfect life. “Perfect” here refers to a lifestyle acceptable to everyone. This is really hard.

So, how can we determine if a thing is right or wrong?

Test it against a predetermined standard. Standard are usually proven and established. Standard can verify a statement whether it is right or wrong. The Bible is a standard which has been tested and proven over the years to be infallible.

Test every statement against a former experience. It is said, “Experience is a  good teacher.” If you have fallen for a trick or a lie before, you will be smart enough not to fall for it again.

Test lifestyle against norms and acceptable lifestyle. Although it is difficult to live a perfect life, nevertheless, it is abominable and unworthy to follow someone who has a poor lifestyle or bad records and shows no consistency.

Test words against the truth. You can and will know the truth. When you do, you are free from lies and deceits. To know the truth, train your heart to love God.

Your leader may fall too but the true test of a good leader is recognizing his error and making necessary changes.

There are many false teachings today because for every good thing there is a bad replica. For every good human cells, there is a tendency for a cancerous cells. What do you do? Try and kill the cancer cells.

Watch yourself and watch your life. Again, you can avoid making mistakes by testing everything. By doing this, you will be confident in what you believe.

Before you follow anyone or listen to anyone, test and prove them.

Test such person and their life style. Do not just accept what they say or do without confirming for yourself.

If someone say one thing and you accept such person as your mentor or your leader or your counselor, this is not smart.

Test every words you hear, test every person to be sure you are not led astray. This way, you confirm everything for yourself and you are confident in what you believe.

 

Next post is–How to Test Everything

God is able to do greater than you can do; bigger than you can do. God is able to do better than you can do. He is able to do beyond and above what you can imagine or conceive on your mind. God is good; very good.

Wherever you stops is His starting point. Do your best, He will pick up from where you stop. Trust Him, He will finish the rest of the job.

God put strong desires in us to cause us to yield and do what He wanted for us. Sometimes, this desires lead us to the place of our destiny, to the place of fulfilment.
Unfortunately, the devil is also capable of doing the same thing–he put evil thought in people`s heart. The result of those who entertain such bad thought is the catastrophe and the evil happening in the society.

You can choose to listen and do the good desires–this is resisting the devil, or you can allow the bad thought–this is cheating, stealing, talking bad about others, ignoring good things, hating. The list goes on.

Deliberately choose to do good to others and the community you live in. Do not entertain bad things as it will increase if you do. choose to live right and God will help you.

Where you cannot make a change, God will still make all things right in the end. We cannot really fix everything but it is good we do the little we can while we can. Choose to do good. Desire to do good and resist evil urges from the evil one.
