Confessions.

                                                                       Confessions.

 

Sincere or Insincere?

 

If thou shall “confess” with thou mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt “believe” in thine heart (mind) that God hath raised Him from the dead, “thou shalt be saved”.  (Romans 10:9)

 

Confessions are either “Sincere or Insincere”.

To Receive God’s Salvation, we must, “Believe and Confess”.

 

Believe – To “Trust in Christ” and “Commit” your life to Him.

Confess –  The act of “acknowledging one’s sin to God” and “choosing to repent 

                  from that sin”.

 

God Honors “Sincere” Confessions, He Does Not Honor “Insincere” Confessions. If we “Plan” to continue the sin, our Confessions are Insincere; if we “Plan” to stop sinning, our confessions are sincere.  God is not mocked, we will “reap what we sow”; we cannot “Trick God”.

 

To “tell” God about our sin or to state to God our sin “is not a confession”, it is just “telling” God our sin.  God already knows our sins, even before we commit them.   To “Believe” the fact that God raised Jesus from the dead is to “Believe” that Jesus is our “Salvation” from the Penalty and the Power of sin.

 

Confession  is a “New Lifestyle”, it is not just something we “say”.  What we “say” is the fruit of our Thinking.  The mouth speaks what the heart/mind has been filled with.  If our heart/mind is filled with “sincerity and truth”, our mouths will speak “Sincere Confessions”; if our heart/mind is filled with “insincerity and untruths” our mouths will speak “Insincere Confessions”. 

 

Our Daily Nugget

is letting us know that if we want to live in Salvation from the Power of sin,  that our confessions must be “Sincere” with our desire to “Repent” from that sin, and to Live in Obedience and do that sin no more.  We are “saved” from the Power of Temptation; we will not be planning to yield again to that sin.  To “plan to” commit that sin some more will lead to a “insincere confession”.  There is no salvation with insincere confessions.

 

Ask God to Bless You with a Heart/Mind that “Led” you to

“Sincere Confessions”,

And Watch The Holiness In Your Living Increase.

Trust "Truth"!

                                                                         Trust “Truth”!   God’s Word is the Only Truth.   Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.  (John 14:1) I am The Way, “The Truth”, and the Life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.   (John 14:6)                              Trusting Truth is “Resisting The Devil”, now, He’ll Flee. Every person that is born, is born in sin, “Separated from the Father”; now every person must get to the Father.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to get everyone to the Father; the work of the demonic spirit is to keep us from being reunited with the Father.  “This Is The War”!  The War is a spiri...

Don't Let Go!

                                                                     Don’t Let Go!                                            The Wisdom In Persistence!   And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him “until the breaking of the day”.  Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken”.  But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me”. (Genesis 32:24 & 26)   How Bad Do You Want It? Don’t Let Go Until You Get Your Blessing!   Our Daily Nugget  is Jacob being in a Wrestling Match with an Angel, all night long.  The Angel hit Jacob on his hip and made him limp.  But Jacob would not let him go, even after he asked Jacob...

Rely On Faith.

                                                                                       Rely On Faith. And We Will Be Blessed like Abraham.   Understand, then, that those who have “Faith” are children of Abraham.  Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by “Faith” and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham:  “All nations will be blessed through you”.  So those who “Rely On Faith” are blessed along with Abraham, the man of Faith. (Galatians 3:7-9)   Our Measure of Faith is Sufficient. We “Exercise our Faith” when we “Rely on Faith”!   God choose to Bless all people through Abraham, our Father of Faith. Know and understand Faith.  Faith or Works of the Law? ...
