Galations 2:20

30 Dec

Galatians 2:20 – 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Followers of Christ are to be a new creation.

That means we don’t know what’s best.  How we feel about things should be first determined about how Christ and God feel about things.

How should we view homosexuality, bestiality, sexual immorality, marital unfaithfulness, drunkenness, gluttony, covetousness, and greed?

We need to look at them the way God views those things.  They’re wrong in God’s eyes.  That’s why it needs to matter to each of us that choose Jesus as Savior.  If God didn’t care, I wouldn’t care.  The reason I care is because the one who gave me life said, “Don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t give false testimony (lying), and respect your mother and father.  God does not tell us to respect everything around us.  God hates evil and who determines what is evil?  God does!

The devil and men which choose to serve themselves and not God, want to make the rules.  It’s easy to do.  It’s easy for everyone to want to believe everything they want to believe. 

There is a problem though, God is perfect.  Man is a sinful mess.

We that are truly in Christ are a new creation and need to die to our old sinful nature and to our selfish ambitions.

2 Corinthians 5:17 – 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!   NIV 1984

God cares about how you think.  Truth is God cares about everything.
