Pleasing men or God?

If we really desire to share the truth of God, we must speak the hard things as well as the blessings.  To receive the truth is a blessing, even if it is not what we want to hear.

Heb 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

Heb 4:13  Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 

Some people will not want to hear the good news and they may be blinded because of their unbelief.

John 12:37  But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 

John 12:38  That the saying of Esaias (Isaiah) the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 

John 12:39  Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 

John 12:40  He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 

John 12:41  These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. 

John 12:42  Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 

John 12:43  For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 

Do not allow yourself to be blinded. Seek God and he will come to you. The door to the Father is through Jesus, his Son. If you are still reading, I commend you. The Bible says that we are to confess faith in Jesus before men.

Rom 10:8  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 

Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

Rom 10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

If you are still reading it is a good sign that you are saved or are willing to be saved. Praise God.

Lord. I repent of my sins and ask you to forgive me and to make me a child of God, through faith in Jesus Christ. I believe and desire to receive your salvation. Thank you LORD God.

JUST AS I AM
