Many modern believers subscribe to a
modernistic PREPAID SALVATION. They believe that Jesus Christ has
PAID IT ALL, He has done it all for them and if they just believe IN
Him then they have salvation. They think that they can IM, SMS,
Instant Message Him, just like with a cellphone and they call that a
RELATIONSHIP. They BELIEVE that they are saved because they repeated
a rhyme, they said some SINNERS PRAYER and they read the manual, the
Bible, but they do not have a relationship with the living God, Jesus
Christ.
Jesus is Emmanuel, GOD WITH US, God IN
us. Jesus knocks at the door of every heart and He wants to COME IN.
He wants to DINE WITH US, He wants to LIVE with us, He wants our
spirit to unite with His Spirit so that we can have a relationship
with Him, be led by His Spirit and follow Him every day. A
relationship is not a SMS an IM that you quickly send with your
cellphone: “Lord Jesus please forgive me, I sinned today!” or
“Lord Jesus, I need this.. and that.” No! A relationship is a
CLOSE WALK with another person, a close walk with Jesus. It is
COMMUNICATION, where you LISTEN to the other person, where you HEAR
what they say. Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they
FOLLOW Me.” Do you LISTEN to Jesus? Do you HEAR His voice? Do you
KNOW Him for real, are you in a REAL RELATIONSHIP or do you just send
Him quick prayers, requests? How REAL is your relationship with
Jesus? Do you WAIT on Him, LISTEN to Him, FOLLOW Him, GO where He
sends you, DO what He tells you? Do you KNOW HIM? Do you KNOW the
PERSON Jesus Christ? Because He will say to many believers in that
day, people who KNEW THEIR BIBLES, people who cast out demons in
Jesus Name, who built churches, He will say to them :”Go away I
never knew you, you workers of wickedness!” We can only DO the
things that are pleasing to Jesus IF we are in that close
relationship with Him, if we FOLLOW Him every day, WAIT on Him, PRAY,
LISTEN, truly get to KNOW Him; only THEN can we follow Him.
Do you KNOW Jesus Christ for REAL? Or
do you have a PREPAID, IM RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ? You BELIEVE
you are saved and you send Him little prayers and you hope to see Him
one day but you don't really know Him? Do you really KNOW Jesus
Christ and does HE KNOW YOU?
May Jesus bless you.
