Abide in Christ

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. Matt. 12:30.  Jesus said some very strong words here that speaks to me, I need to get closer to Him. The last thing I need in my life is to be against the One True God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Jesus also speaks about a kingdom, if divided it will not stand, the very same with our hearts, if they be divided how can one stand? Maybe someone you know is trying to walk with Christ but still looks back to the world longing for the things of it, whether good or bad. This only brings division, a mind on the sea tossed to and fro.  James 1:8 says A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. One can't place their faith in Jesus and in somthing else at the same time. This is where man struggles and division starts, our eyes look to the left and the right and can't stay on Jesus. John 15:6 If a man abides not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. To Abide in Christ is to be one with Him, trust in, rely on, and wait patiently in faith. Faith in Christ is the key to stand with Him. Let's take our eyes off the things that only bring division in our lives and put them back on God. And show this generation the True Love of a Father. Praise the Lord.
