John 6:40 ESV
[40] For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
God calls for his people to live a life differently than the other religions, differently than those who are of the world. Jesus did just that. He lived his life for God and was different from those who lived for this world.
If you have a problem with religious people, you have something in common with Jesus. Jesus didn't like them twisting and changing the ways of God for their benefit or to hinder others. Jesus taught that it is our hearts, our intentions that make us good. The difference for many is that Jesus preached that we are to do the will of the Father, God in heaven. Only God sets the standard for what is good and right.
Father, you know what is good, what is right. You pass that knowledge to us and ask us to follow you, and bring our friends into eternal paradise. Thank you Father for loving us that much. I pray we follow Jesus. I pray we have the heart and fortitude for you Father that Jesus had. May we stand, righteously, for you in love and mercy. May the world see how good you are and give up control for real freedom. May we give you all praise, honor and glory. Amen.
