We do something that causes grief to our Heavenly Father. It is explained in Malachi 2:10 “Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we fatherless to one another, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
God not only wants his children to love him with all their heart, and soul, and strength, but he also wants them to love one another.
The Second Thief Died in his Sins
The second thief from the third Cross also had the opportunity to repent and turn to the Savior’s forgiveness and eternal life. But instead, he hardened his heart, refused to repent, and so died in his Sins, unsaved without hope and eternal life.
That third Cross stands forever as a warning to all humanity. Friends, as for us, we have had countless opportunities. We have heard many sermons and witnessed others are coming to saving grace. We fail to repent, we fail to take ‘U’ turn and go back to Savior.
Even repentance is a gift from God. We are not sure about death, our last moment. Death may strike suddenly and swiftly, giving us no time to turn to God.
Acts 2:17
In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
Thoughts on This Verse....
As those living in the last days, each believer — young and old, male and female — must be Spirit-led and Spirit-empowered to give his or her personal testimony to the grace of God given us in Jesus Christ. As Jesus prayed for us before his death (John 17:20-23), we must be united across the gender barriers and across the age barriers and across the racial barriers if the world is to truly know that God sent his Son as Savior of the world!
God not only wants his children to love him with all their heart, and soul, and strength, but he also wants them to love one another.
