JESUS IS LORD!

1 CORINTHIANS 12: 3

"I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus,
and no one can say JESUS IS LORD, except by the Holy Spirit!"

All believer's know that JESUS CHRIST IS THE LORD GOD! The reason we can say this and know it in our heart is because the Holy Spirit lives within us. Our One Truth Today is that no one can say JESUS IS LORD, except by the Holy Spirit. No one speaking by the Spirit of the Lord can or will curse Jesus Christ! In fact a way to discern whether someone is a true believer or one belonging to a cult is to ask them who Jesus Christ is. If they can not say or do not believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, they are not a believer and they define themselves as a cultist. It is apparent that anyone who curses Jesus Christ is a non believer! If they believe that Jesus was a "good person", an angel, a prophet or a great man, they are not believer's. They do not have the Holy Spirit in them.

Many people use the name of Jesus. Believer's do it to bless people, non believer's use the name of Jesus Christ as a curse against people. Using the Lord's name in vain is a violation of one of the 10 commandments of God and there will be consequences. Cursing Jesus or using His name in vain is equivalent to rejecting God and the Holy Spirit. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin and the ultimate rejection of God, His Son and the Holy Spirit. If you end your life rejecting God and cursing Jesus Christ, you will have separated yourself from the Lord forever and this sin will never be forgiven. You will not have received the Holy Spirit that will fill your heart and enlighten you. Your sins will be unforgiven, thus the "unforgivable sin"!

When we have the Spirit of God in our hearts we could never curse Jesus. You may use the name of the Lord inappropriately but we will not curse His name and reject our belief in Him!
When your sins have been forgiven and you have received new and eternal life you can not reject or curse the Lord who Saved you. We have the comfort of knowing that we have been Saved by the Lord and forgiven of all of our sins. How can you reject the One who Saved You?
The free gift of Life has been given to all who accept and believe Him. Those who reject Jesus have condemned themselves and have cursed themselves to eternal separation from God. That is why believer"s hold out unto the very end. We know JESUS IS LORD!
