I Am Speaking For The Lord

As I Warn You

Here is what I'm telling you. I am speaking for the Lord as I warn you. You must no longer live like those who aren't Jews. Their thoughts don't have any purpose. They can't understand the truth. They are separated from the life of God. That is because they don't know him. And they don't know him because their hearts are stubborn.

 They have lost all feeling for what is right. They have given themselves over to the evil pleasures of their bodies. They take part in every kind of unclean act. And they always long for more.

But that is not what you have learned about Christ. I'm sure you heard of him. I'm sure you were taught by him. What you learned was the truth about Jesus.

You were taught not to live the way you used to. You must get rid of your old way of life. That's because it is polluted by longing for things that lead you down the wrong path.

You were taught to be made new in your thinking. You were taught to start living a new life. It is created to be truly good and holy, just as God is.

Ephesians 4:17-24

We always receive warnings from our Lord. We may not be attuned to them, but those warnings are always there. We sometimes ignore the quiet voice of the Spirit, and we pay dearly.

The apostle Paul laid out the conditions for the lost to be found. God’s heart is open to all His children. When we share the Word of God and pray earnestly for others, eyes will be opened for His love.

Open your heart to the Lord, and He will open your eyes to the lost.
