"God's 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!"
Does the Lord know you are His? Do you belong to the Lord? Do you have the Lord's seal upon you? There is a sure way to know the answers to these questions. The One Truth Today tells us that all who belong to the Lord TURN AWAY FROM EVIL! It is such a firm statement that the Lord says if you belong to Him you MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL! When you gave your life and heart to the Lord did you stop your adulterous ways? If you were in bondage to alcohol or drugs, have you stopped using them? If you were involved in pornography and R rated materials have you stopped your addiction? If you had an evil heart and mind has it been cleansed by God and do you have a new heart? Are you seeking the paths of righteousness and have you turned around from the paths that lead to death and damnation? If you can answer in the affirmative, then God knows who you are. If the answers are no, then Lord does not know you!
All believer's know the 10 Commandments and the Word of God. They have learned from the Prophets and the Lord's example. They have not just heard the Word, but they have become doers of the Word. Because they have been Saved from their sin, they MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL. Their new heart leads them away from evil and toward God. When you came to the Lord Jesus Christ, did you change? Do you really believe that you can say you are following God and then not TURN AWAY FROM EVIL? God's truths are as firm as a foundation rock that you can stand on. If you look, you will see an inscription on the stone: The Lord knows who are His , and all who belong to the Lord , MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL!
Can you see the Truth and can you hear the voice of the Lord? Have you given up your evil and wicked ways? Do others see you as a new person? Have you remained faithful to the Lord and to His Word over many years? Did you turn your back on the old evil life and have you stopped repeating the sins of your past? Did you TURN AWAY FROM EVIL, and have you fled from its hold on you. If you have not done this, then you must take a second look at your life and determine if you are a child of God. Talking is not sufficient, hearing is not sufficient, only doing the Word of God will satisfy the Lord! Let your Yes be Yes and your No be No! You can not fool God and therefore it does no good to fool yourself. The Lord knows if you are His!
All who belong to the Lord MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL!
