Fear God and Live
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
pride and arrogance
and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate. Proverbs 8.13
He who truly fears God searches above all things to preserve his salvation and for this to happen he knows that he has to live his life according to the Holy Scriptures.
The man and the woman born of God they carry inside of them the character of the Almighty, they have the pleasure to please the One who saved their souls. They know how precious it is to have the assurance of salvation. They don’t neglect their communion with God, nor do they allow their character and reputation to become a shame for them and their Lord. For this reason, the ones born of God do not get involved in gossip, or conversations that do not edify their spiritual life. They do not waste time by pointing fingers toward somebody else’s mistakes because their concern is to correct their own mistakes.
“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not see the beam that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye. Luke 6.41-42
He who is born of God is always keeping his heart from evil desires, hatred, grudges. There’s no lies, no half true. He is God’s blessing everywhere he goes.
And you? Have you been living your life in the fear of God?
Bishop Carlos
