"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain."John 12.24The price of having a new life in the Lord Jesus is death. The death of sin.
Those who want to be born of water and the Holy Spirit must die to sin.
Is it possible to live in sin and in the presence of God at the same time?
Either you give up your sinful life to live a new life or you will remain alone.
Dear Mrs. Ester. It is not possible to live in sin and in the presence of God. The death of sin needs total surrender in Christ, apart from that it will be impossible to be born of God.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. Ester this is a fact and we cannot live like this, some people want God but also want to live a life in sin. There is no way to serve God and the sin in the same way. We must deny our flesh to do the will of the Holy Spirit. Only those who does the will of God are able to born of God, because they gave their 100% on the altar. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Ester
ReplyDeleteIt is true we cannot be double minded and live double lives as the bible says "no one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."Matthew 26:24.

Dear. Mrs Ester.
ReplyDeleteIt's true. It's not possible to serve two lords. Only those who do the will of God are able to serve him in spirit and truth.
Dear Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeletewe can't be double minded,It is either God's way or the other.The death of the sinful life in our lives is the new beginning of our new birth in God's way.I have learnt that being baptised in the water is not enough,the new birth starts when we deny our sins and give our life completely to God by walking on the way he wants us to be.

Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteWe are either in the dark or in the light, serving God or serving the devil there is no half and half. people seem to think that because they believe in God they are waking in the light but that is so far away from the truth, it might be hard to digest and the truth even hurt but that is the reality of it. We have to die to this world to be of God thee is no other way.
Mrs. Ester
ReplyDeleteIt is written that water and oil cannot be mixed so is God and the devil but many people think that they can serve both God and the devil, they are living a double life but we do know that for us to live for God we need to die from this world that is a total surrender of our sinful nature.
Thank you
This is powerful.
ReplyDeleteTo be a true child of God means to abandon all your sinful ways and follow your master. You can serve two masters, it's either God or fleshly desires.
Thank you Ms Ester

Thanks Mrs Ester, this is absolutely right to be born of god means to die of the world. We can’t say we want to be of God and still serve the devil and carry on remind our lord Jesus of the price he had to pay to give us a second chance. it is impossible to serve two master either you're of God or you're not there is no in between. What we have to ask ourselves is why live in sin and worship the devil when we could have eternal happiness with our Lord Jesus. The happiness (which is fake by the way) this world offers is temporary and will lead to eternal condemnation where as the one with our lord Jesus is everlasting. Our lord Jesus carried the cross for us and now it our time to do the same and carry ours daily and follow him.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs Ester
ReplyDeleteThis means to constantly serch, deep within ourselves, and ask God for direction. Because we are lost without Him. He asked for one thing, for use to diny our selves, this is what it takes.
Thank you

Dear Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteThat is a very stronger message,
For those who wants to pay the price have to deny the world
and stand firm in Gods presence to receive a new life.
"Who 'lost' his life in this world, won the coming of the Lord Jesus, and who 'advantage' life in this world, will lose their salvation."
ReplyDeleteThis is very true Mrs Esther.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot live in both sin and righteousness.You have to sacrifice the other to receive the other,That's it!!You either are or you are not,there is no middle ground!!No maybees.
Thank You Ma'am
