**JESUS IS CALLING TODAY**
Why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
This question from Jesus, in Luke 6:46, needs to touch your heart deeply. We live in a time when much is said about the love of Jesus, about blessing, healing, and prosperity, but little is said about repentance, obedience, and holiness.
It is true that Jesus is love, for those who also love him (Proverbs 8:17), but the same Jesus who said come to me also declared that if you want to follow him, you must deny yourself and take up your cross daily. Following Christ has a cost: dying to sin and living for Jesus. He himself said that whoever loves him keeps his commandments.
I ask you, you who say you are a Christian: are you truly following Jesus, or just using his name?
The Word of God does not call sin a weakness; it calls it sin, and it confronts the attitude of those who claim to be Christian yet live out, day to day, practices such as lying, greed, envy, pride, hatred, adultery, sexual immorality, idolatry, theft, addictions, corruption, slander, and hypocrisy. Paul, in 1 Corinthians 6, lists several of these practices. But right after, he reminds us that some of the believers in Corinth had once lived this way, and were washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of Jesus.
Jesus says to you: repent and turn away from sin.
Jesus told the parable of the rich man who built bigger barns, thinking he had many years ahead, and God said to him: Fool, this very night your soul will be required of you; then who will own what you have prepared?
You may have a house, a car, a job, a good salary, plans but what does it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your soul?
If you are in Jesus Christ, you are a new creation, and the evil one cannot touch you or your household.
The book of Acts 3:19 says: Repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out.
Jesus does not look only for those who call him Lord, but for those who follow him and do what he commands, being doers of the word and not hearers only. Your life is short, eternity is real. Do not treat grace as a license to sin, and do not put it off until tomorrow.
If today you hear his voice, do not harden your heart.
