God’s Will Is The Safest Place To Be

1 Peter 2:15, For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. Most human beings want to oversee their own lives, this is a human trait, and along with that control, comes unintended consequences.

There are only two possible ways for us to follow in this life. First, we must recognize that each of us is caught up in a battle between good and evil. We will go toward one or the other. One way is good led by God, the other is evil led by satan. Let’s see some facts about each.

Proverbs 16:9, a man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

God loves you. He sent His only Son to suffer and die for us. He knew we could not pay our own sin debt, so the Lord Jesus Christ did for us.

God is always with us, to help us in everything we do. He knows what we face, and He speaks to our hearts constantly. If we are smart, we listen for that voice. The other way He speaks to us is through the Bible. The Bible is an instruction book that will give us a very good life, and Eternity in Heaven. More on this in future messages.

Jeremiah 29: 11, for I know the thoughts that I think toward you says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and Hope.

satan wants everyone to spend eternity in hell. satan knows every word in the Bible, and he will twist what the Bible says so that those who don’t know it will perish. He constantly whispers to your heart that there is no evil, just pleasure in following him.

Remember this. denying evil exists is foolish. If something goes against God’s word, it is evil. Our creator wanted everyone to be with Him since before creation even happened. satan deceived Adam and Eve and that caused all the evil ever since.

A person’s conscience can become seared so that he cannot separate good from evil and as far as he’s concerned evil is good.

God has a plan for each of us. Sometimes He allows us to mess up for us to see the truth. God’s way is the best way. God even puts desires in our hearts that are better than what we come up with. He is constantly looking out for our welfare, and it grieves Him when we do not pay attention.

1 John 2:17, And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

As the old saying goes, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. In effect what satan is doing is trying to make it look like a free lunch when you do evil or anything strictly for pleasure regardless of the outcome for someone else. The price to pay is eternity, and you will find no one pays for you but you. Pretty steep price. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord! 

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!
