Do You Know Jesus?

Memory Scripture of the Week –

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Romans 3:23

Do you still need to be convinced that you are part of the “everyone”…that we all fall short of God’s plan…His standard? What is sin for you? Is it the same as your brother, sister, spouse or neighbor?

Sin is sin.

Do you know Jesus? Who is He to you? Is sin the same for a non-Christian…a non-believer…one who doesn’t believe in Jesus as the Son of God—as God? Sin is sin. God doesn’t see people differently as far as sin is concerned. Sin is sin.

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. James 4:17

Everyone who sins is breaking God's law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God. 1 John 3:4

I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences." Mark 3:28-29

The LORD is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love, forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion. But he does not excuse the guilty. He lays the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected--even children in the third and fourth generations.  Numbers 14:18

You must warn each other every day, while it is still "today," so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. Hebrews 3:13

If you see a Christian brother or sister sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death. ... Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts. 1 John 5:16-17, 21

My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. 1 John 2:1

And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. 1 John 3:5

Time may be drawing short for believers here on earth. Jesus said to “Repent.” Mark 1:15. What are you going to do? Consider who Jesus is to you…and if you will be obedient to God.

Prayer ~ Lord God, everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. In Your grace and mercy may we be obedient to Your word…to Your commands—that we would live to please and honor You here on earth…as it will be one day in heaven.
