WOUNDS LEAVE THEIR SCARS – Saturday November 11th 2017
Memorise: If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 1st Corinthians 3:17
3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
MESSAGE:
God is both the God of love and a consuming fire (1st John 4:8, Hebrews 12:29).
He is extreme in His love for mankind, and He can also be extreme in
His judgment. This is why you must never take Him for granted. All over
the world, there is resurgence in the doctrine of eternal security. This
doctrine says that once you are saved, no matter what you do, your
salvation is forever intact. This is one of the deceptive pills that the
devil uses to drown souls forever in Hell in these last days. Open Heaven 11 November 2017: Saturday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye –Wounds leave their scars. You
shall not fall a victim of this in Jesus’ Name! Today, many people are
not taking the totality of God’s word into consideration while
interpreting scriptures that talk about God’s grace.
Such people believe
that grace is devoid of responsibility. Ephesians 2:8 says we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and I am in total agreement with this. Also, 1st Corinthians 15:10 says
that whatever we are and whatever we become is by the grace of God, and
I also totally agree with this. But beyond these, some people further
believe that works are not necessary any more or else it won’t be grace.
This is a lie! Philippians 2:12 says after being saved by grace, you must work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Did 2nd Timothy 2:22 not command us to flee from youthful lust? In fact, 1st Corinthians 3:17 says,
“If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
In
other words, after being saved, you become a holy temple for God to
dwell in. if you then go back into sin, God will bring His judgement on
you. This too was written by the apostle of grace.
Prayer Point:
Foolish people bring avoidable and unnecessary sufferings on themselves. Father, please give me a wise heart to avoid pitfalls.
