For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.
John 3:20-21
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
John 3:36
Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
John 5:23
The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me,[a] is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”
John 10:25-30
If you believe in someone you trust them and their instruction. Now think a moment.
When you learn to drive you trust the driving instructor, you do what he says.
When you learn to fly you truth the pilot instructor, you do what he says, you believe in
him and trust they know what you need to learn and put into practice.
Now a group have arisen who claim you believe in Jesus but disobey what He says,
do not follow His words, and continue in the world in the ways of the world.
These are not sheep but wolves and their agenda is to attempt to take Jesus away from
believers, while not listening to our Lord.
And their justification is because Jesus promised to save His people, to say you can lose
this salvation you are saying He is lying. The truth is stranger though. Jesus will save His
own, and they will never be lost, but are you part of His people, following and listening to Him
because you love Him? You are. Great, the Lord will keep you till you meet Him.
But as Judas and Peter found out, what we are becomes clearer as we walk our paths, and
we maybe sure we know where we are, but truly only God knows, and only when we follow
Him and His word does our path become the walk in the Kingdom. Amen.
So follow, listen, walk in love and praise of our glorious Lord as we stride forward in purity,
holiness and love, Amen.
