When nosotros own got on worldly values nosotros lose our involvement inward God in addition to our agreement of sin...
While studying the Old Testament kings, I institute this quote:
"lawbreaking was the result, non the cause, of estrangement from God. The kings abandoned God inward their hearts kickoff in addition to and then failed to choke on his laws. When nosotros unopen our pump to God, his mightiness in addition to presence shortly run out us."*
When nosotros neglect God, nosotros experience the Spirit's conviction in addition to repent. That's because our hearts are nonetheless seeking God.
But nosotros tin lose our mightiness to discern God's volition by:
- Focusing on worldly goals (1 John 2:15-17).
- Condemning sin inward others merely excusing it inward ourselves (Matthew 7:3-5).
- Refusing correction (Proverbs 15:32).
Once nosotros lose involvement inward seeking in addition to serving God, nosotros gradually lose our mightiness to recognize sin inward ourselves (1 Timothy 4:1-2).
Take fourth dimension today to enquire God if you've distanced yourself from Him inward whatever expanse of your life. If so, repent in addition to attempt Him alongside all your ♥.
