The Coronavirus World Makes Being a “Whitewashed Tombstone” Christian Impossible - You Are All-In Living a Righteous Life for Jesus or Not

MESSAGE SUMMARY:

Followers of Jesus are called to live righteous lives. This righteousness comes from your being in communion with the Holy Spirit. Living a righteous life for Jesus is not like a professing Christian who is just a "whitewashed tombstone" -- pretty on the outside but dead on the inside. You are instructed by the Psalmist in Psalms 37:39: “The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.". Also, Paul tells you in Romans 1:17: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.’”. In Acts 1:8, Jesus tell you, as His follower, that: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.". In Matthew 5, Jesus tells you, as His follower, that you are different and blessed; and these blessings flow from your living a righteous life in Him. Allow the Holy Spirit to create in you a clean, pure, righteous heart so that your life is all-in for Jesus to open a life-channel that produces a “peace that passes all understanding”.

 

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord’s Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 5:1-48; Romans 1:17; Romans 2:13; Psalms 70a:1-12.
