The world gives many praises to the veterans of the U.S. Armed forces but when it comes to in remembrance of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, there is the reactions of indifference, disdain and anger. I am not bashing the veterans, and I am very much grateful for what they have done, and are presently doing!! But do we think about how much blood He has shed for us? Do we show our gratitude by how we LIVE our life??
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service (Rom 12:1). It is time we repent of idolatry! It is time that we repent of our sinful lifestyles and surrender to His perfect will!! Your cross hanging on the front of your windshield doesn't mean anything if you are not repenting, and disobeying the Lord of lords! If ye love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15).
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it (Luke 9:23-24).
Choose to be set-apart! The phrase "walked with God" is only used when referencing two men: Enoch and Noah. Walk is a biblical figure for fellowship and obedience that results in divine blessing. It describes the closest communion with the MIGHTY GOD - as if walking by His side. Keep your eyes on JESUS! Obedience is the fruit of righteousness. The world has nothing better to offer!
