Title : Come back to Jesus!

 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.‭ Isaiah 53:6 KJV‬

Devotion: While waiting on the Lord on what to write on the verse of the day this is what I saw: "I saw myself picking up empty drink cans and dropping them into the waste bin." Some people drank the content of these and I am sure they know it should never be dropped on the ground. In most countries it is an offense and one can be fined for littering the environment. 

  This is how we all do things we know we should never do yet we do. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" so none is exempted. But unlike world government which will fine or send to jail, God made a way for all to escape the punishment for sin. In 2 Samuel 14:14b "yet doth he devise means, that his banished(the sinner) be not expelled from him."

 This way is Jesus Christ (John 14:6) the son of God who gave his Life on the Cross for your sin and my sin. If we believe that Jesus is the son of God who died on the Cross for the sin of humanity then we will be saved.    

   Some people had taken this step yet they keep on sinning which is contrary to God's word which says in Romans 6:1 and 2 "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" We should come to the throne of Mercy to seek forgiveness and ask for the Holy Spirit to guide us so that we will not fall into sin again. For if we know that it is a sin to litter the environment and still do, local authorities will fine us. It is the same with God if we know that it wrong to gossip and still do it is a sin. The apostle James wrote that “it is a sin to know what the right thing to do is, and then not do it” (James 4:17).

 In other words, if you know what God is asking you to do, yet you still decide to disobey Him—then you’re undermining God’s authority in your life. Sin entices us because it is self-gratifying, but it results in eternal separation from God and others.

 You don't want to be separated from God, therefore I urge you this day to come to Jesus Matt 11:28, Jesus is waiting for you. He is the way, the light and the truth (John 14:6.) He will unite you with God and Holy Spirit will guide you. Halleluyah.
