\u201cGod is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 50:23<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaiah 48:22<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThere is no peace,\u201d says the LORD, \u201cfor the wicked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaiah 55:6<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cSeek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near;\u00a0\u00a0let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.<\/p>\n

Ezekiel 18:27<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Again, when a wicked person turns away from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he shall save his life.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 1:11<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWhat to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the LORD; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWhen you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts?\u00a0\u00a0Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations\u2014 I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly.\u00a0\u00a0Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.\u00a0\u00a0When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 7:4<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Do not trust in these deceptive words: \u2018This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0\u201cFor if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another,\u00a0\u00a0if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm,\u00a0\u00a0then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.<\/p>\n

Matthew 7:3<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?\u00a0\u00a0Or how can you say to your brother, \u2018Let me take the speck out of your eye,\u2019 when there is the log in your own eye?\u00a0\u00a0You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.<\/p>\n

Romans 2:17<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God\u00a0\u00a0and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law;\u00a0\u00a0and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,\u00a0\u00a0an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth\u2014\u00a0\u00a0you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal?\u00a0\u00a0You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?\u00a0\u00a0You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law.\u00a0\u00a0For, as it is written, \u201cThe name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.<\/p>\n

Psalms 25:14<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.<\/p>\n

Psalms 78:36<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues.\u00a0\u00a0Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant.\u00a0\u00a0Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often and did not stir up all his wrath.<\/p>\n

Jesus Christ went to the cross to redeem all who would come to him, believe in him, and trust in his sacrifice for their sin. \u00a0Scripture says “for the joy set before him” he willingly bore our sin to redeem us. \u00a0We come to this saving grace knowledge not by words but by a God drawn, Spirit led, Christ redeemed changed heart. \u00a0The price paid was God’s only son. \u00a0The price paid was freely and willingly given for the single purpose of redeeming those who would turn to him, trust in him, believe in him, cling to him, and rely on him alone for salvation of their soul. \u00a0This is the most important decision ever made this side of eternity. \u00a0It determines eternity with him in heaven or being forever tormented in hell. \u00a0The time for this decision is NOW. \u00a0The urgency of this decision is NOW. \u00a0Your eternal life depends on this NOW. \u00a0Seek him while he may be found. \u00a0Making this decision is never regretted now and for certain forever but not making it will certainly be regretted forever. \u00a0There is no better time than Now to trust in, rely on, cling to and humbly serve, honor, follow and obey Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
