TURN AWAY FROM EVIL!

2 TIMOTHY 2: 19

"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"

The Lord knows everything about you, down to the smallest details of your life. He knows your name and hears your every cry and prayer. The Lord knows who are His children and those that belong to Him must TURN AWAY FROM EVIL! God's truths stand like a firm foundation stone and will not be moved. Do you know the Lord? If you Love, Know and Fear the Lord He has His seal upon you. Have you turned away from evil? Have you made your path straight toward the Lord? Because you have the Holy Spirit in your heart you will TURN AWAY FROM EVIL!

If you were in an adulterous relationship before you came to Christ, you will know you are His if you have stopped committing adultery. If you were an alcoholic before you came to Christ, have you stopped getting drunk. If you had a habit of viewing pornography and R rated, sexual materials before you came to Christ, have you turned away from this evil behavior? If you had a habit of gossiping and harming people, have you stopped? The Lord knows who are His and all who belong to the Lord must TURN AWAY FROM EVIL! The truth of the Lord is etched in His foundation stone and if you truly belong to God you will listen and live His Word!

The Word of God is Truth and must be known and acted upon by all those who love Him. He knows if you are His and listen to His voice. It is simple, did you give up your wicked and evil ways when you accepted the gift of life from Jesus Christ? Have you become a new creation with a new heart, filled with the Holy Spirit? Have you give up your old habits and ways and do you flee from evil? Do you remain separated from wickedness and darkness and are you able to walk toward the Light? If you have you have listened to God and learned His Truth. Our One Truth Today for Christians is to TURN AWAY FROM EVIL!
