Are you rejecting God’s will for your Life?

³⁰But the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law rejected God’s purpose for themselves and refused to be baptized by John. LUKE 7:30.

T

his is the report about a class of people in John’s and Jesus’ days. They were called the Pharisees. While John received God’s call and was baptizing in the River Jordan, crowds trooped in daily to be baptized by him. Among the crowds were tax collectors and people who were regarded as the most sinful people of the time. They were being baptized and born again into God’s eternal plan for mankind. But the Pharisees rejected this plan of God for their lives, and refused to be baptized by John. They refused to be born again!

What’s the Foundation of your Life? 2

“But the solid foundation that God has laid cannot be shaken; and on it are written these words: ‘The Lord knows those who are his’ and ‘All who say that they belong to the Lord must turn away from wrongdoing’.” 2TIM. 2:19

Save your soul

There is a foundation which God has laid. This foundation cannot be shaken. It will not be shielded from hard-blowing storms. It will not be shielded from storms of lack, betrayal, depression, loneliness, crises, sickness, persecution etc. But it will not be shaken. That’s the foundation we should build our lives upon. The Bible reports that “In the beginning, the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to humanity” (JOHN 1:1, 3&4). In the beginning, God laid this foundation. On this foundation, God built all things, and not one thing in all creation could have been made without him. That foundation is Jesus Christ. There is a song that says “I’m standing on a rock that never fails. Jesus is the rock that never fails.” If we want to withstand the storms that blow hard against us in our marriages, academics, jobs etc, we must build our lives on the rock that never fails.
