"Do not just listen to God's Word. YOU MUST DO WHAT GOD SAYS! Otherwise
you are only fooling yourself."
In the news today a teacher at a Christian school was asked to resign, because she was living with a man outside of marriage. She was not only teaching God's Word to her students but was a professing Christian woman. The One Truth Today is on point to the issue here. You can not just listen to God's Word as a believer and then do whatever you want or believe. YOU MUST DO WHAT GOD SAYS! This person was fooling herself, and for a time the students and faculty of the school, but she never fooled God! Are we going to be obedient to God and His Word and Laws or are we just going to obey 7 out of the 10 commandments? If you fail to listen and obey the Word of the Lord, you will suffer. You can not live an illusion and the results are always predictable. How about you, are you just fooling yourself or do you understand that YOU MUST DO WHAT GOD SAYS!
The Lord does not want us to be a hearer of the Word only. God wants us to be a doer of the Word! We are to be obedient and Love His Laws. If we do not obey, we are just fooling ourselves and some others, but we never fool God. In effect we are punishing ourselves when we know the Law and the Word and then disobey. That is why the Lord is Just. We make the choices and we suffer the consequences. Bad choices lead to bad and predictable results in our lives. Disobeying God is the worst choice of all. You have separated yourself from the Lord and you have sinned. If you want peace on earth, YOU MUST DO WHAT GOD SAYS!
Are you who you say you are, a believer in Jesus Christ the Lord God? You can not fake it for you can not mock God. If you are foolish enough to listen to the Word of God and then go in the opposite direction, you are taking a path that leads away from God. Not a good plan.
We must implement and put into action the Truths of the Lord or we are nothing but fools!
Do not deceive yourself or be deceived by others, YOU MUST DO WHAT GOD SAYS! God is your father and He wants to teach you His truths and give you life and that eternal. Are you His obedient child? Do you trust Him, do you obey Him, do you do what He tells you to do?
If not you are just fooling yourself!
