Get On the Triangle

 Always stay alert, stay alive, there are counterfeit teachers everywhere. You can’t listen to everything you hear on social media or the news or anything from this world.  John warns us not to aimlessly fall for the lies of worldly spirits in 1 John 4:1 “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,  for there are many false teachers of the world.” Their lies will lead you down the path of hell.

When you study Scripture and listen to true teachers who preach straight from the Bible, your love grows for God and for others. Imagine a triangle with the top being God the two bottom parts are believers. As each believer loves they grows closer to Him, the distance between them shortens, which represents them growing closer to each other in their love for each other… even through sinning we are still loving. Romans 3:23 says “we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” We can mess up and trip by listening to counterfeits at times, but thank goodness that we have a loving God to forgive us and set us straight.

All Aboard the Heavenly Bus

Get behind me Satan, I’m not on your bus anymore as it says in 1 John 3:1 “See what the love of the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The  reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” Tread past Satan’s wheels which steer you to hell and hop aboard Jesus’ bus which takes you to heaven. 

When on Satan’s ride, sure it’s fun for a little, but that all ceases and crashes. Christ’s engine to heaven is full of praising the Lord and saying “get behind me Satan”as it says from Matthew 16:23 “But he turned and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan!You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting on things of God but on the things of man.”

Get the directions right, check the bus route, there is no eternal joy with Satan’s drive, let Jesus take the wheel.
