How often do we run a virus scan on our life?
2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.
When we get a virus or a worm that interferes with our computers operation, we get a fix tool from Symantec.
Where do we get our fix it tool in our Christian life?
1st John 1:9
On our website we have a visitor counter. It measures the traffic of each unique visitor and records it. If such a counter were installed on a person’s Bible, How many hits would you have? If the visitor hit counter were installed on your prayer life. What would it say?
How often do we run a defrag program on our knowledge of His Word? The defragging of a computer system helps it have the ability to pull information together so when you pull up a program it loads correctly and faster. We know the Word. We know what is pleasing to God. But, but, but, James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Rom 1:28-2:1
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
There is serious consequences for not retaining the knowledge of His Word.
Verse 32 are we as Christian worthy of death, yes. By grace we are saved thru faith. Shall we go on sinning God forbid.
For we are His workmanship created unto good works.
He who knew no sin was made sin for us, that we might be the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
2 Cor 5:21
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
