Church works and religious acts do not replace spending personal time with God.
Have you ever found yourself so busy working for God that you neglect to spend time with God?
It can be easy to be deceived
into thinking that
doing religious works
is just as good as
spending personal time with
God.
However,
you will not grow spiritually
if you don't spend time with
God.
Good works will not get you into Heaven; you must have a personal relationship with Jesus.
In
Matthew 7:22-23,
Jesus said,
concerning Judgement Day,
"Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'"
Those people thought
that because they did good things
in the name of Jesus
they could get into Heaven.
Instead,
Jesus surprised them by saying,
"I never knew you."
Therefore,
don't get so caught up
in your good works
that you forget to
know God.
Make it your goal to
seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well
(Matthew 6:33).
If all of your good works
have made you so busy
that you don't spend any time
with God,
then those good works
have become bad works,
because they are
replacing your time with
God.
Shalom!!!!!
God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!
