“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” Phil. 2:12
Yeshua accepts us just the that we are- but He loves us way too much to leave us that way!
We are called not only to believe in Him, but to FOLLOW Him- to imitate Him.
He wants to take us to the “Cleaners”, not leave us wallowing in filthy rags…
Repentance- continual repentance- a conscious and continual turning away from our sins-is a necessary keystone of those who truly desire to follow Him.
While God loves us furiously the Bible states that judgment will begin first with the house of God.
We are called to “work out our salvation with fear and trembling” (Phil.2:12).
Attempting to cover your sin by sprinkling a layer of “love” while there is no repentance is not God’s plan but the enemy’s. We are to be holy as God is holy- walking in repentance and truly seeking Him along with the continued help of the Holy Spirit.
Beloved, choose life today- turn away from whatever sins entangle you and walk in the Spirit.
