Believing GOD, the one true God the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a daily choice.
A choice that shapes everything we do and say. We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with media trying to shape what we say and do, what we believe and how we live.
So how do we keep our hearts in Christ? Stay in the word of Christ. Read your Bible every day; take time to meditate on HIS words. Never believe what you hear on TV, Radio, the internet, or read in the newest best seller the media pushes. Verify for yourself what the truth of the matter really is. You will only find the truth in GOD’s words in the Bible. The Bible states plainly that man will tickle our ears and tell us what we want to hear.
1 John 4: 1-2 gives clear instructions on how to determine the truth. "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God."
What we believe is a choice. Christ encourages us to choose wisely and to choose life. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."
In Christ.
