This is the audio version of Liberty Gospel Track TRE 169. The cover says, Talking to Everyone Except God. Inside we read, How many conversations, text, phone, and personal, do you have with people in a day? but do you ever talk to God? The disciples asked Jesus, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. Luke 11, verse one. Jesus taught them, after this manner, therefore pray ye. Our Father, which art in heaven. Matthew 6, verse 9. First of all, is God your Father? Jesus said, If God were your Father, ye would love me. John 8, verse 42. Do you love Jesus? Jesus said, If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14, verse 15. Why does Jesus have the right to give us commandments? The reason is because Jesus is our Creator. He is God Almighty in the flesh. The Bible says, for by Him were all things created. Colossians 1 verse 16. If you create something, then you have rights over it, like copyrights if you paint a picture or write a book. Number two, is God's name holy to you? Jesus taught us to pray, hallowed be thy name. Matthew six verse nine. The Bible says, holy and reverend is his name. Psalm 111 verse nine. Do you respect God's holy name or do you use it as a swear word? Number three, Are you truly living for God? Jesus taught us to pray, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6, verse 10. If Jesus returned this moment, is there anything that you would be ashamed for him to see? Maybe something on your phone? Maybe something in your bedroom? Maybe something in your car? The Bible says, Therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh. Matthew 24, 44. Can you honestly say that you are living God's will on earth as it will be done in heaven one day? Do you think that the music you listen to right now will be allowed in heaven? You know, the songs that talk about lusting and immoral acts. Do you think that will be allowed in heaven? Does your music standards meet God's standards? Bible says speak unto yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. Ephesians 5 verse 19. 4. Are you trusting God to meet your daily needs? Jesus taught them, give us this day our daily bread." Matthew 6, verse 11. Jesus taught us to put Him first, and then He would provide the food, drink, and clothes. The Bible says, but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6, verse 33. Do you put making money first or God first? 5. Have you forgiven others? Jesus continued teaching them, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Matthew 6 verse 12. Do we quickly ask God's forgiveness when we sin? Or do we try and justify ourselves? The Bible says, He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Proverbs 28, verse 13. And have we also forgiven others? The Bible says, And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted forgiving one another, even as God, for Christ's sake, hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4, verse 32. Number six, falling for temptations. Are you having trouble with temptation? Jesus taught them, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6, verse 13. You would find more strength to resist temptations by spending more time talking to God in prayer. Have you experienced God's forgiveness? The Bible says, in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1, verses 13 and 14. The Bible says the wages of sin is death. Romans 6, verse 23. For us to be saved, someone who is perfect would have to die in our place. Only God is perfect, and the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God in the flesh. He lived a perfect, sinless life, and then died on the cross, bearing our sin. The proof that Jesus successfully paid the wages of our sin is the fact that he arose from the grave. The Bible says he was buried and that he rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15 verse 4. To be saved, you must call upon the Lord Jesus from your heart. The Bible says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10 verses 9 and 13. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ right now. Ask him to forgive you and to cleanse you and to save you. After we ask the Lord Jesus Christ to save us, then God instructs us to get baptized under the water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Baptism does not save us. It is just the outward testimony that Jesus has saved us and that we want to now live for Him. Romans 6 verse 4. My friend, we'd love to hear from you today. Give us a call.
