Ps. 5:4,5 O God, you take
no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the slightest sin. Therefore, the proud will not be allowed to
stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil.
Hear ye! Hear ye!
Here is a message we must all hear.
God takes no pleasure in wickedness.
If you do evil, the Lord notices and is not pleased with you. The Lord our God is holy and cannot tolerate
the slightest sin. We must understand
this essential truth. We tolerate sin,
but the Lord cannot, and will not, tolerate it in any form. All sin must be dealt with if we are going to
be able to have fellowship with God, both now and forever. We cannot ignore our sin and expect God to be
pleased with us. Grace does not excuse
us. We are accountable to God for
whatever sin we do. We must deal with
our sin before God or God will deal with us.
Pride is evidence of
self-righteousness. All who are content
with who or what they are before God will not be allowed to stand in God's
presence. Only those who are humble
before God have any standing with Him.
We must recognize our lack of holiness and humbly come before Him with
broken hearts. We must confess our sins
before Him. We must be clothed in the
righteousness of Christ. We must never
strive to approach God on our own. We
must have Jesus as our mediator. He must
stand between God and us. We must
immerse ourselves in the holiness of Christ.
Then and only then, will we be found acceptable to God.
Listen to me, dear
friend. God hates all who do evil. These are strong words, but oh so true. Be careful how you live. Do not take sin lightly. It does matter to God what you do and
say. All sin must be washed in the blood
of Calvary or you will be treated as an enemy of God. We must wake up to this sobering truth. Holiness never goes out of style. We must always strive to be holy because God
is holy.
Stand guard over your
soul and keep it pure before God.
Eternity is at stake.
