Only if you truly let God work

 Only if you truly let God work

In the book of Galatians we read,

"But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. 

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  

gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.  

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.  

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Galatians 5:18-25.

You cannot live immoral lives and expect to get to heaven. 

Christians do not believe in “the spiritual scales of Justice” for lack of a better term. A scale where God weighs the good we’ve done against the bad we’ve done.

Christians believe that we cannot live a life good enough to get us to heaven. That it is by the grace of God, through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and his resurrection that we make it to heaven.

The apostle Paul writing,

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8,9 

Paul also writing,

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.

I firmly believe that once we have truly accepted the grace of God through Christ Jesus your life will start to change. But only if we truly let God work in your lives.

Please think about it.
