Serving God
The Book of Joshua states,
“Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.
But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”
Then the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods!”Joshua 24:14-16.
In this world there are many gods even in the twenty-first century. Some may not think of them as god’s but they are. Especially here in North America. Many worship the dollar bill, materialism, and all that goes with it. Some are Atheist who claim to have no faith yet have faith in what they believe. They worship if you will an idea. Others worship other things sometimes without even knowing it.
I believe we must decide here and now in this life, on this earth, whom we believe. I because I am a Christian believe people must believe in Almighty God the creator of heaven and earth and His one and only Son, Jesus, who is God incarnate.
The gospel of John states of Jesus,
“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.” John 1:12,13.
The apostle Paul writing to the Romans said,
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved’
Romans 10:9-13.
