"People claim they KNOW GOD, but they deny Him by the way they live!"
Do you KNOW GOD? Are you one of His children? Have you given your heart and life to Jesus Christ the Lord God? Are you an obedient and faithful follower who knows the Word of God?
Is your heart pure and uncorrupted? When others look at you and your life would they conclude that you KNOW GOD? Many people claim they know God. They profess to be acquainted with and close to the Lord. They say they have heard His Words and they follow them. There is one little problem, they deny Him by the way that they live!
The defiled and corrupt are really unbeliever's. Their minds and conscience are defiled and polluted. They renounce God by what they do in their lives. They are disobedient and detestable. They are incapable of being faithful and doing good works. Many of them claim to know and follow God. Then you look at their lives and you see how they truly live and it is not like an obedient child of God. You shall know them by their fruits! One thing is for sure, they do not KNOW GOD!
Can a person claim to KNOW GOD and continue in habitual sin? Can you live in adultery or a homosexual relationship and say you KNOW GOD? If you continue to be disobedient to the Word of God, if you are a hearer but not a doer, if you only accept some of the commandments, you do not KNOW GOD! Until you Repent of your sins and ask for the forgiveness of the Lord, and receive a new heart and a truly new life, you do not KNOW GOD! When you turn around from your path away from God and make a straight path to the Lord we can see that you have changed. The way that you live will answer the question, do you KNOW GOD? People claim that they know God, but they deny Him by the way that they live! Those that fear the Lord can not mock God!
