Thoreau, the naturalist-philosopher, in defending some of his oddities once wrote: “If I do not keep in step with others, it is because I hear a different drumbeat.” The varied difference in the ungodly and the godly is not analogous. It is impossible for them to be alike.
One lives under the blessings.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ,” Eph. 1:3.
The other lives under the curses
“Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee,” .
Jesus came to destroy the works (curses) of the devil (1 Jn. 3:80).
There are basic building blocks that form the foundation of a successful Christian family.
- A commitment to a God centered life.
- A stable and fulfilling God centered Christian marriage.
- Strong spiritual leadership.
- Love God (Jn. 6:5).
- Fear Him in Revelation (Jn. 10:12).
- Walk in His ways as an Example to others, (Jn. 10:11).
- Know Him and apply His Word, (Verse 13).
- Teach His Word to your children, (Jn. 6:7; 11:19).
- Discipline your children, (Prov. 19:18).
- Avoid provoking your children to anger,(Eph. 6:4).
- Obedient children are the fruits of Christ-centered homes that are established in God’s perfect order.
- Satan’s prime target for the destruction of this nation is the family unit.
A person is born again by confessing his sin and asking the Lord Jesus Christ to come into his hear and save him.
(Rom. 3:23,24, 25), “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. . .”
Revelation 3:20— 20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
That believer is received by the Father and salvation comes instantaneously in the Experience of the new birth. Love, joy and peace are the by-products.
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” (Acts 2:38, 39).
Christians must accept the difference God has placed between you and the ungodly!
“Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse,” John 11:26.
