‼️God’s children can walk in the security provided by the finished work on the cross. Isn’t that good news? We were bought by the blood 🩸 shed by Jesus. He died for you and me.
“Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord.
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, and who seek Him with all their heart.
They also do no wrong; they walk in His ways.
You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently.
Oh, that my ways were established to keep Your statutes!
Then I shall not be ashamed, when I have my focus on all Your commandments.
I will praise You with an upright heart,
when I have learned Your righteous judgments.”
Psalm 119: 1-7 (MEV).
God foreknew us and knows EXACTLY when each of us will leave this earth.
“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Psalm 139: 13-16 (NIV).

I prayed for today’s scripture and this is what the Lord dropped into my spirit. Maybe we all need this reminder that God has high standards. Christianity is a come as you are religion, but we are expected to allow Christ and the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out.
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 6: 9-10 (ESV).

“A Call to Repentance
Come, and let us return to the Lord;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.”
Hosea 6:1-3 (NKJV).
