DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ROMANS 14:11-13

(11)  For it is written,  As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
(12)  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
(13)  Let us not therefore judge one another any more:  but judge this rather,  that no man put a stumbling-block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 

BECAUSE HE LIVES!

(11)  For it is written,  As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.  Brethren, all souls are subject to authority of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;  the Lord declared;  "So long as I live, every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge their wrong doings to our Father."  though Jesus Christ, shed his blood, died and rose again to pay for all our iniquities, past, present and future; in other for humanity, to continue to enjoy this grace freely and associate with our Father, in his righteousness,  (i)  when we trespass against him or against others; as believers, we ought to humbly bow on our knees before him and confess our sins to him or to one another for forgiveness;  (ii)  we need our Father's forgiveness so we can be restored to fellowship with  him again;  for, through the blood of Jesus Christ, we receive permanent reconciliation to our Father;  however, whenever we trespass again him, we break up our blood covenanted chains of reconciliation to him;  (iii)  though all our sins are forgiven through his blood, our newer transgressions are also forgiven, if we show remorse that we have wrong our Father, then the covenanted blood will effective positive changes and permanently wipe away those sins; however, at times, we feel that, to admit to wrong doings, are not necessary, because all our past, present and future sin are already paid for by blood of Jesus Christ;  Yes!  but, friends, in my opinion, confession of sins, matters;  it is written; "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."(1 John 1:9); therefore confession is necessary;  for we cannot continue to justify ourselves with blood of Jesus without owing up to our wrong doings, so long as we live in a world full of darkness no matter how righteous we are, we will sin; for,  "As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one." (Romans 3:10); therefore, we are sinners in nature, we cannot continue to sin and expect grace to abound;  Apostle Paul said;  "But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin?  God forbid." (Galatians 2:17);   therefore, when we transgress, let us bow down on our knees before him with, talk to him as a Father about our wrong doings, so we can continue to enjoy his grace freely given through the blood Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forevermore.


(12)  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.  Brethren, if this the case, then everyone one of us will have to give account of himself to our Father; for, it is written, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin." (Deuteronomy 24:16);  regardless of how much faith we have in his righteousness; the enemy will always bring temptations our ways, to lure us into sin and there are no guarantees that we will not fall into his evil traps;  for, he will bring on temptations of lusts of  the eyes, fleshly desires, gossiping, slandering, arrogance, covetousness, pride, enviousness, fornication, uncleanness, adultery, lasciviousness, etc.  these sinful attributes are abominations to our Father;  however, he is merciful and gracious, slow to anger but plenteous in mercy; and will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. (Psalm 103:);  it is our sins that separates us from our Father; and someday we will have to give account of all our wrong doings to him; however, if we talk to him about our wrong doings, ask for his mercy; he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness; therefore, confession is necessary; if we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.(1 John 1:10); therefore, let us try our best, to walk in the light as children of light, and not of darkness, for we fellowship with one another through the blood of Jesus Christ; who cleansed us from all our iniquities; today, we are free from all sins;  past, present and future;  therefore,  let us give him all praises and thanksgivings for what he has done for humanity forevermore!

(13)  Let us not therefore judge one another any more:  but judge this rather,  that no man put a stumbling-block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.  Brethren, if we will all give account of ourselves to our Father someday, then, there is no reasons for us to judge one another; for Jesus is the judge of  the world; and there is a day set aside for humanity to appear before the throne of judgement; however, we can advise ourselves positively, with the love of our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  as believers, it will be ungodly on our parts to see our fellow brethren in trouble because of wrongful choices and sit back and let him fall into greater sins; but with love, we can make constructive criticism to bring him back in alignment with reality; and we can do that with love and without condemnations; ponder point;  today, if the trumpets shall sound in heavenly places for judgment day;  let us ask ourselves, are we worthy to stand before Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and be joint heirs with him in eternity?

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, whatever choices we make positively or negatively during our lifetimes on earth matters; therefore, let us be certain that we are making right choices in life, Jesus will not force anyone to come unto him at all costs; but he has broken the veil of the tempo with his sufferings, death and resurrection, to make it easier for humanity to talk to our Father, through his Holy Name; however, Jesus is merciful, he does not want any soul to make Hades their eternal destinations; his arms are open to receive anyone at all times; regardless of what we have done in past or what we are doing today; Jesus will receive us, redeem us, grant us salvation, grace, peace, hope forever and evermore. Amen and Amen!
