James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
I have heard some of these verses quoted so many times. We love some of these, but some of them say things like if we do this, God will do that...we don't like that. God did do everything, it's true, He accomplished all on the cross, He makes all things possible. What does Christ require of us now? To do justly, walk humbly, and by the above verse, submit, resist, draw near, cleanse, purify and humble. We do have to act, but it is because He acted first. We are to Love, with His Love, but because He first Loved us. This is not though a gospel of me, it is still very much a gospel of He.
"To You alone all glory and honor Lord, You are God, and we are Your people." In Jesus Name. Amen.
