We welcome you once again to our sermon review, it really a wonderful time in God’s presence and we trust God to speak to you as you take few minutes to digest today’s reminder of how God loves us and he his interested in making sure his investments over our lives are not wasted. In today’s sermon we expounded on Ezekiel 33 verses 10 – 19 revealing God’s salvation program on every soul who seek to turn to God from a sincere heart.
Text: Ezekiel 33:10-19, Matthew 19:30
Every unrighteousness is wickedness and it leads to death. God is not wicked. Today, He is calling you out. He doesn’t want you to die in wickedness. Come out of sin that you may not end in damnation. Jesus is so merciful. Even at the point of death, Jesus Christ still saved a sinner (the thief at his right hand side).
Jesus said, my father worketh hitherto (till now). God is working upon his children. He is not building a new world, He is building you. He is busy constructing you and I so that we may live to please him. Do not allow the death of Jesus be in vain in your life. Turn away from your sin. Turning from unrighteousness to righteousness is a decision that can be made deliberately.
I appeal to you that you examine yourself and turn your hearts away from wickedness. Do not rely upon your past righteousness. Rather, repent everyday and continue forever in righteousness (Exodus 33:13). The Bible says, “…the first shall become the last” (Matthew 19:30). This means that when a righteous man begins to do wickedness, he may become the last, and when a once wicked man begins to do righteousness, he may come out as first.
The day you begin to rely upon the good you did in the past, it means you are backsliding. And backsliding leads to destruction. The righteousness of a righteous man will not deliver him in the day that he turns to wickedness. Therefore, brethren, keep the Faith and press on.
Do not allow anything to take your place in the presence of God. Be steadfast in faith. Don’t look back. Press on, brethren. The grace of God is still available today. And even though the Devil tempts you, you are more than conquerors.
Amen!
Shalom, brethren!
