Light Of The World!: Repent: Turn Away From Sin And From Anything That's Not Pleasing To God

Light Of The World!

Hello there, world! I'm Yong Zhen Kheng a.k.a King! I'm a 24 young man who has given my life to God! I face plenty of challenges and mountains daily, but it is by the grace of God that I'm able to stand tall with His strength in such a world that we live in. "Light Of The World!" is the name of my blog. Because in such a dark world that we live in, everyone is looking for that something somewhere somehow to fill and satisfy their souls. And that is where the Word of God comes in, where love and hope are always present and living. God is the Light of the world, and my prayer is that we will go beyond the call of duty to show love to the people around us with the love that He has shown us - That they may know just how real and amazing our God is! This is what we're here for: To show the world how He love it. This is what we're made for: To lay it all down like He did :) Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven and earth, with wisdom, power and love, our God is an awesome God! And He has chosen us to be the Light of the world, so come let us share the Good News with the world together! (:

>> Sincerely, a man on many missions.

Repent: Turn Away From Sin And From Anything That's Not Pleasing To God

Dear faithful brothers and sisters in Christ! Today I would like to encourage you to repent! To turn away from sin and from anything that's not pleasing to God! You might have heard this 1000 times, but how many times do you practice it? There's so many verses reminding us to repent in the Bible, let me just take this one.

From the Bible, the book of Acts 17:30 says, "In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent."

Now, he commands all people everywhere to repent! Repent therefore, and you will be saved! You see, we can't tell people that we believe in Jesus and yet keep on sinning! We'll just be contradicting ourselves and destroying the faith of other believers!

Try to remind yourself everyday to cling to what is good, and hate evil! It's time for all of us to repent and do what is right in the Lord's eyes! Remember, you can run, but you can't hide! God always sees our hearts and knows our intentions even before we execute them! It's better to obey God than to sin against the Lord =)

Remember to flee from sin, and not resist sin! Because we are all really weak, and if we try to resist sin we will always fall! Even the wisest man will fall when he tries to resist sin! Satan knows exactly what your weakness is, and he will put the perfect bait to lure you to sin. When you recognize that, it's time to run away from those temptations and sin and run to God!

In conclusion, it's time for all of us to repent and turn away from sin and anything that's not pleasing to God! If I list them out, it'll take days! I believe that you already know what's not pleasing to God, what is sin and what is wrong in the Lord's eyes! If you're having trouble differentiating what is right and wrong to God, then I encourage you to pray to God to grant you discernment, wisdom and knowledge. All the best in your journey of life =)
