Before I even got out of bed today this question was bouncing around in my thoughts. When I opened my Bible to have my Quiet Time this morning I read Isaiah 26 and this scripture jumped off of the pages. In verse 10 we read "Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and regard not the majesty of the Lord." Pretty powerful, and convicting words.
This was me years ago. I knew the difference between 'Good' and 'Evil', but I chose 'Evil' over 'Good.' I assumed that I was a Christian and that I believed 'In' Jesus, only to realize at the age of 36 that I did not.
The plumb line that keeps me going is the Apostles and their lives, and all of the rest that followed them, and Christ to their deaths. Would we truly 'Die' and give our lives for Christ? We all have been afforded grace if we are reading this today. With that said we must all ask this huge question to ourselves right now "Is there any 'Wickedness' in our lives? Are we still doing things we ought not to do because they are unrighteous? If so, then maybe we don't know this Jesus in whom we profess. If we were to truly regard His majesty beginning today, then we would give our lives totaly to Him and be wiling to die for Him in, and to all things.
Who is this jesus I believe in? He is my redeemer, and Savior. He is my rescuer, and my strength. He is Righteous, and 'In' Him I can be too. I will die for and surrender all, to Him who died for me~
