Don't be a Lukewarm Christian!

In Matthew 16:13 Jesus asks His disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" This question is so relevant today it is screaming out from the Heavens. From one end of the spectrum, people believe there is no God and at the other end people believe God is who He says He is. 

Those who believe in a godless world are talked about in Psalm 14:1 which says, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'" I pray every day that the scales will fall off their eyes and they will see God's glorious light. 

The people I worry the most about are those who believe in the existence of God but deny the sovereignty, power, and presence of Jesus and pick and choose what parts of Scripture they want to follow. 

I understand it to be an all or nothing thing. Either you believe ALL of who God says He is, ALL of what He commands us to do and be, ALL of what He has done, is doing, and will do or you don't believe any of it. 

You're either ALL in or ALL out. 

Don't ride the fence because there is nothing worse tasting to God than a lukewarm believer. He will vomit you out and and when you say Lord, Lord, did I not do great things in Your name? He will say He never knew you. 

If you fall into this area of the spectrum, read Romans 10:8-13...

“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” 

But don't stop there, follow the two greatest commandments Matthew 22:36-39...

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’"

• Read your Bible to learn the attributes of God. 
• Know who He is, what He has, is, and will do
• Pray that God helps you to "not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." 
• And "if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." 

Revere God and live a life that brings Him glory.
