WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  I DON’T NEED A SAVIOR

In our world there are people that are blinded by the enemy. They actually believe in their self-sufficiency and feel like they don’t need a savior. They will say, “I am a good person.” I have to ask, good by who’s standards. The word of God says that we all have sinned and fallen short.

How do we get through to those who are satisfied with their life of sin? Let us look at a few verses.

Many times, when we try to witness to this type of person, they will say that they are not condemned of their sin. As Christians we feel conviction by the Holy Ghost when we step out of line. Sinners do not have that tugging of the Spirit to make them want to step into line. But God’s Spirit will draw them to him. They must be willing to yield.

John 3:17-20 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

When they say they are not condemned, they mean that the enemy has them blinded to the fact that they are lost. They are blinded to the fact that they need God.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

We need to point out that God’s wrath will abide on the unbeliever. They will not see everlasting life. The gift of God is eternal life. We cannot receive his gift if we are not willing to give up the old ways of doing things.

Society has told people that God is Love and he will not let anyone perish because of that Love.  They completely miss the fact that God gives us free will. He will not override that will, we have to choose him.

Matt 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

This verse explains what happens when someone resist God’s invitation. That doesn’t mean that God is not loving. It means he loves people enough to give them their choice. If they choose to not follow Christ, they automatically default to being a follower of satan.

2 Pet 2:4-6 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

We need to share our own experience. We need to tell them how God has changed our lives. Sometimes it takes someone hitting their rock bottom before they will listen. We just have to show them love and pray for them to hear the whisper of God. Hopefully, they will come to the realization that they do very much need a savior.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
