Grace for your spirit April 24, 2009

Grace for your spirit

But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?     Luke 23:40

This was the question that one thief asked the other the day they both died on the crosses next to Jesus.  The complaining thief certainly did not fear God, and that was one of the reasons he was in that situation.  Many people, even very religious people, have lost their way and don’t know why?  Romans 3:10-18  gives us the answer.  Why do people lose their righteousness, their understanding, quit seeking God, turn aside to worldliness, and put the path of destruction in their future?  Why?  Because, there is no fear of God before their eyes.  It’s not just the problem of the thieves on the cross, but it is a problem we see everyday in our world.  May we bring the fear of God back into focus, and start walking after His Spirit today.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
