You must FIRST STOP SINNING

Many believers say that they cannot stop sinning. It is because they have never repented, they are not following Jesus Christ, they are following satan. You cannot follow Jesus Christ unless you have repented. John the Baptist was preaching repentance and we read in Matthew 3:7 “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8“Therefore BEAR FRUIT IN KEEPING WITH REPENTANCE;9and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. 10“The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore EVERY TREE THAT DOES NOT BEAR GOOD FRUIT IS CUT DOWN AND THROWN INTO THE FIRE.” That is the situation with the religious people of today also. These Pharisees and Sadducees that came for baptism, they were the religious people of the time but they were also sinners like the religious people of today and John the Baptist refused to baptize them. He said to them:”Go and repent first! Go first, show fruit in keeping with repentance.” You cannot follow Jesus Christ if you have not repented. These people were saying:”We are the children of Abraham!” The people in the churches are saying:”We are saved!” They are not saved! They are sinners, they are serving satan and themselves. You cannot follow Jesus Christ if you have not repented, unless you have STOPPED SINNING and unless you are SHOWING FRUIT OF REPENTANCE. God has no communion with sinners. It is no good to be baptized if you have not repented of your sin. You are wasting your time. And that is why many believers say that Jesus is not talking to them – HE WILL NOT! HE DOES NOT SPEAK TO SINNERS! He has no communion with sinners! Go cleanse your heart, go repent of your sin, go cleanse yourself and then He will reveal Himself to you. You must FIRST STOP SINNING BEFORE YOU CAN FOLLOW JESUS. May Jesus bless you.
