Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last. Isaiah 48.12

We are not only God’s creation, but part of His very being. In an impulse of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, the Lord took men from the depth of His being and created them in His image. We have a divine origin and creation. Where sin has damaged us, Jesus’ work in Calvary has mended and enabled us to return to God’s initial dream.

If we Listen to the Most High, all the wrong in us will be changed. God is preparing us to fulfill His plan for all eternity and, there is no doubt that what He has prepared for us is beyond human comprehension (1Corinthians 2.9). The lost will suffer two losses. First, they will be tormented day and night, forever; second, they will lose the greatness of God’s plan for them.

Jesus’ words are different from ours; they are sprit and life (John 6.63). They are able to make us fit to enter in His presence. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, the Most High gives us the right to become His children (John 1.12). When you take God’s offer you will see your life transformed into the image of His beloved Son. This change enables the new-convert to fulfill the mission Jesus has given us.

Therefore, pay close attention to the Lord, because, in His words, we have power to heal, sanctify and be transformed into His image and likeness. We can all draw near to God when we heed His commands and not by works, fasting or prayer. Therefore we will walk from glory to glory towards perfection, which will be made complete in the coming of Jesus (2 Corinthians 3.18). When we are born again, however, there is no doubt we will have a much better life.

The Most High has taken us out of Himself for a purpose that we know nothing about and is still to be revealed to us. However, there is no question it is glorious and rewarding. Do all you can to avoid losing your salvation, because greatness awaits you after the second coming of Christ. There is no comparison of what God promises us for eternity and what we know today. So, do not allow yourself to be disqualified.

Why remain in rebellion and suffer for eternity, if you can be qualified to be with the Father forever? Therefore, do not allow yourself to be carried away by temptation, because you will suffer a great loss if you trade Heaven for the lies of the enemy. Even if you feel in the depth of your soul that, in your case, a certain sin is allowed, do not believe in it. Do not trade the pleasure of listening the Lord for something that is transitory and repulsive.

The best of all is that He was the one who called us and, because of that, no one can keep us from becoming what He says we are (1 Peter 2.9). If you are allowing temptations to succeed in your life, pray now and confess it. Then, believe in what the All Mighty says in the Word and no longer allow the enemy to bother you in any way. Heed the voice of God and be blessed.

In Christ, with love,
