"Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." Hebrews 10:38First of all, no one is just. But when a sinner becomes DEPENDENT on the Lord, there is faith. This faith is exactly what makes him just, pure and godly to come before Him.
But, if the just, pure and godly person stops being dependent on Him, then there will no longer be faith.
As a consequence, he will go back to being a lost sinner.
Hi Mrs Ester
ReplyDeleteMy name is also Esther. God is using you you you know and your honesty with your blog being about God's actual words is very challenging for me in a good way, as it makes me think and then make a decision. I have always found it harder to read your blog than anyone else's and I have just realised today that it's because I stopped depending on God because of feelings and didn't really want to talk to Him about certain stuff which grew into more stuff. But, I am slowly starting to understand again why I need to love (enjoying and choose to depend on) God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength and trust. At one point when I was trying to start a business it wasn't successful and I started thinking that God wasn't helping and then I (in my vulneraility and insecurities) believed that God was laughing at me and didn't want me to excel anyway and help me. So, I slowly stopped listening to His voice willingly, I became proud and only listened if I determined the outcome to be good. So, I am on my way to realising how foolish this has been and how I need to really push through these supportive 21 days fasting to receive the Holy Spirit and no longer doubt His love/voice and wisdom.
Please keep praying for me bacuse I am nearly there, I need to break through and need more strength to get revolted with my situation and seek Him; my heart needs to be softened more and more.
Thanks
Esther
