"Gods truth stands firm like a foundation stone, with this inscription: The Lord knows who are His and all who belong to the Lord must TURN AWAY FROM EVIL!"
The Lord knows you! Do you know the Lord? How can you know if you know the Lord of not?
If you are in the Lord, He will have His seal upon you. There is a sure truth and a firm foundation that will let anyone know if they belong to the Lord. Have you turned away from evil? Have you made your path straight and toward the Lord? If you have the Holy Spirit in your heart then you will and must turn away from evil!
If you were in an adulterous relationship before coming to Christ, have you stopped committing adultery? If you were an alcoholic before coming to Christ, have you stopped using hard liquor and are you avoiding drunkenness? If you had a habit of using pornography and R rated materials, have you turned away from this evil behavior? If you killed people with your gossip, have you stopped? All who belong to the Lord must TURN AWAY FROM EVIL! Are you learning the truth of the Lord and making it the foundation of your life, etched in stone?
God stands firm, how about you? If you can not answer affirmatively to these questions then you have to question whether you truly belong to God.
God's firm foundation stands unshaken and bears His seal and inscription, it is His Word. The way that the Lord knows if you are His and hear His voice is simple. Have you given up your wicked and evil ways? Have you become a new creation with a new heart in Jesus Christ? Have you turned away from your old ways? You must flee from evil and remain aloof from wickedness. If you have turned away from your evil past and become a new person in Jesus Christ then you are listening to God! The way to know your position is to know that God's children TURN AWAY FROM EVIL!
