It's not about YOU

The natural man, the normal man, is only interested in one thing and in one person. That one person is himself. He wants to gratify himself, satisfy himself, his whole life centers around himself but a person who is born again, his life, every thought centers around God, because God is His King and he wants to be pleasing to his Father.

We read in John 3:3 Jesus said to a man called Nicodemus: “unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Unless a person is born of God then he does not belong to God, he is not interested in God. He is only interested in himself. Jesus, the Son of God came for one purpose only and that was to DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER. We read in Hebrews 10:6 “IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN THOU HAST TAKEN NO PLEASURE. 7“ THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN THE ROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) TO DO THY WILL, O GOD.’ ”

That is what Jesus came to do, the WILL OF THE FATHER and if we are born again of the Spirit of God we will also be seeking to do the will of the Father. Jesus showed us how to be pleasing to the Father, He gave us the words of the Father, which were written down in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John by the eye witnesses, and the Holy Spirit that He sent, also confirms those same words, reminds us of the same words that Jesus spoke.

Many believers are only concerned about themselves, about “their salvation”, “their ministry”, “their position.” It is not about YOU or about me. It is about how well we fit into God's plan, how well we fit into God's Kingdom, how well we obey God. If you are not born again then YOU ARE THE KING, it is all about you, but if you are born again it is about God your Father and about being pleasing to your Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. Have you been born again? Is your life about Jesus and the Kingdom of God or is it still about yourself?

May Jesus bless you.
