“13 For merely listening to the law doesn’t make us right with God. It is obeying the law that makes us right in his sight.” ~ Romans 2:13
Often times we get caught up in the motions and no longer follow God, we instead simply believe that He exists. Our love for Him slowly dwindles, and we are stuck in a routine. We go to church every Sunday, but we have no relationship with God. We listen to the message be preached, but we don’t take it passed that. But we justify not living a life pleasing to God, by saying we go to church or we read our Bibles.
But what good are those things without a relationship with God? It’s about knowing Him, not knowing of Him. We have to fight daily to do what is right. We have to make time for God. We have to fight to make the right choices day in and day out. Don’t allow yourself to fall into a spiritual slumber because you are spiritually lazy. Fight for your relationship with God as if nothing else matters, because nothing else matters.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Do More Than Listen.
