New Year....put on Jesus!

The new year has started. Many have made resolutions of all sorts. This scripture below is something all followers need to make sure is a part of their life this year and all years to follow:



Romans 13:14

14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.



For a follower of Christ it should be obvious that you have put on Christ and are different than the rest of the world. What I want all of us to concentrate on is the making no provision for the flesh. Sin is to be out the door! I have never understood how folks can claim to be followers but yet still choose to sin willingly. Something is majorly wrong, even to the point where we have to question if they have even been saved or not. Things such as getting drunk, high, sex outside marriage, stealing, cheating, lying, hoarding, gluttony, gossip ect. are all sin. They all deep down satisfy something in our flesh. When we put on Jesus we have the power to overcome all of these, the question is o we love our Savior enough to let Him have all of these things?



So lets get serious in our faith. Give all of your life to Jesus and gratify Him not ourselves!
