Romans 1:28-32 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
There are some of us who say we are ‘THIS’ but our works show we are ‘THAT’. Our PROFESSION and our WORKS are contrary one to the other; So much such that when our works are put to the test, we will be ADOKIMOS (disqualified/rebrobate).
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.- Titus 1:16
And this DISQUALIFICATION OF WORKS OR LIFE starts by refusing to have God in your knowledge. Which is why continuous renewal of your mind by God’s Word is A MUST. Whatever state you are in, make a commitment to continuously feed on the WORD OF GOD- it will change you eventually. It will help you to DO WHAT YOU SAY.
This is the reason why Apostle Paul laments in I Corinthians 9:27 :
“But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become DISQUALIFIED .”
Brethren, this is a very serious matter which we must all treat with utmost importance. YOU CAN’T JUST LIVE ANYHOW AS A BELIEVER – too much is at stake, Dear One. Be blessed!
GRACEFUL MORNING
